[craggy shoal]

My 13700K would say otherwise probably die

[rancid juniper]

Not too shaken up since I have a 13600k but who knows what might happen months to a year later

[tranquil pebble]

My Zen 2 CPU still doing just fine is laughing at 13 and 14th gen Intels

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[tranquil pebble]

I have a Zen 4 in the form of Z1 Extreme too

[cursive oasis]

What's a really good high end wireless gaming headset?

[tranquil pebble]

really good and gaming dont tend to go together

[craggy shoal]

Swear if somebody says Logitech

[cursive oasis]

What's a really good high end wireless headset?

[rancid juniper]

Logitech

[tranquil pebble]

Logicool

[rancid juniper]

Did you... Repeat that question?

🗿

[cursive oasis]

I took gaming out

[rancid juniper]

I just realized

[tranquil pebble]

gaming marketed things tend to just be cheap stuff with RGB added and a huge price increase

Very bad for gaming for that price

[craggy shoal]

ur mom

[rancid juniper]

So a headset with a mic?

[cursive oasis]

Yes, preferably wireless and could be used for gaming

[tranquil pebble]

Logitech in Japan is called Logicool

[rancid juniper]

Real

[rancid juniper]

Ok

I'm seeing a lot of logitechs motor

[craggy shoal]

Probably Logitech I guess

[cursive oasis]

Please @ me if you have a recommendation, as I must go for now

[rancid juniper]

You like logitech

[fervent stump]

Me want

[rancid juniper]

Then buy it

[craggy shoal]

Okay then get it 💀

[mortal grail]

Why yall recc'ing logi

[fervent stump]

It’s 2.3k

[mortal grail]

The heck

[craggy shoal]

Literally no reason

[rancid juniper]

We jokin

[craggy shoal]

Logitech isn't that great tbh

[rancid juniper]

Then earn it

[mortal grail]

Nova pro, nothing else

[fervent stump]

Me a kid

[rancid juniper]

...

[mortal grail]

Like, starts and ends at nova pro

[fervent stump]

I’m going to start working at Publix in like 2 weeks

[mortal grail]

Add a wire if you want anything else decent

[rancid juniper]

Ok goodluck

[mortal grail]

Or go iems

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[mortal grail]

Yup

[craggy shoal]

Expensive asf

[mortal grail]

Oh ok there's one other

[fervent stump]

You think working at Publix will be good enough to get a good pc?

[rancid juniper]

I would pay no more than $50 for headphones

[mortal grail]

Cloud wireless

[rancid juniper]

[mortal grail]

That's it

Like it's just

All gaming headsets are bad

[fervent stump]

AirPods on top

[rancid juniper]

That is up to you, have to do research

[craggy shoal]

I wouldn't pay any less than $75 💀

[rancid juniper]

XD

[craggy shoal]

$75 is a stretch of a bare minimum for me tbh

[fervent stump]

@craggy shoal AIRPODS ARE THE BEST

[rancid juniper]

You never know if that $75 headphone gets beaten by some random $40 knockoff

[craggy shoal]

Bruh I’m not connecting them to my PC ever again

[rancid juniper]

😳

[fervent stump]

Why?

[craggy shoal]

They don't work well on PC 💀

[fervent stump]

Can’t wait to get an Aio for myself

[fervent stump]

How come? I just use them as headphones

[fervent stump]

Is that a 4090? That’s my friends set up

[rancid juniper]

its over 75 motor

[craggy shoal]

What AirPods do you use? I use Pro Gen 2 AirPods and they don't like any PC I try connecting them to

[craggy shoal]

Wireless at $86 = poor audio quality

Just imo

[fervent stump]

Are those the usbc ones? If so I use them

[fervent stump]

@craggy shoal you think so?

[craggy shoal]

Why would the port matter?

They’re basically the best one Apple offers rn

[rancid juniper]

fine, maybe this

[fervent stump]

I’m seeing if those are the ones I have

[craggy shoal]

Headsets are generally a no for me

[rancid juniper]

same

i just use headphones + separate microphone

[wraith fern]

use flying headset 👍

lol

[craggy shoal]

Yeah this is the move for me

I want a better mic though

Trying to get away from USB

[fervent stump]

What gpu is this?

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[rancid juniper]

mines uses type-c to usb

heh

oh wow its gotten cheaper

[craggy shoal]

Trying to go with an XLR mic. I already have an audio interface an old friend gave me a while back

I could get one now if I wanted lol. They’re not expensive. I just don't know what to get lol

[rancid juniper]

lol

you'll figure it out

[pliant berry]

turns to look at 800usd headphones sitting on desk

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

CRAZY

[dusk knot]

Expensive

[rancid juniper]

._.

no its not

[dusk knot]

I'm shaking over here

[rancid juniper]

get a blanket

[sinful blade]

I have went to court against the government

[opaque sedge]

Ngl cyberpunk ending left me depressed

And on top i also apparently got one of the good endings

The sun

[tranquil pebble]

if I were like a billionaire I would try to passively cool every CPU on the market

[opaque sedge]

Like uh just the cooling part or manufacture cpus that only need passive cooling for good operational temps

[tranquil pebble]

Id be doing a lot of undervolting

[opaque sedge]

Or partner with amd

[tranquil pebble]

yeah Id try to get them to do an ARM CPU with 3D cache

for server HPC use

[cedar compass]

For what ?

[tranquil pebble]

Think Epyc but ARM ISA

[craggy shoal]

Just to get away from USB

I don't like how my mic sounds and I have an audio interface that can do XLR

So why not upgrade lol

[keen shale]

Is the Yeti still the go to upgrade?

[cedar compass]

There's 3 type of mics . Dynamic, conderser and tube mics . They act different so you need to choose what you need first

[velvet summit]

no

hasnt been for a long while

[cedar compass]

rode nt1a is one of best budget mics around

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that’s why I haven't gotten one yet lol

[velvet summit]

tube mics? you mean ribbon?

[cedar compass]

No ribbon is different than tube . Tube mics actually have tubes inside . Example rode classic 2 , rode ntk

[velvet summit]

also if you cant pick, decide with how your room is
if you have no acoustic treatment, a dynamic mic would be better since it wont pick up as much background audio, but generally dynamic mics are better near the audio source
if you have a room with decent acoustic treatment, then a condenser would be more.... full or whatever, and you can place it further away since it's more sensitive

[cedar compass]

You need replace tubes when they get old . They getting dirty sound in time

[velvet summit]

oh tube mics are just condensers

[cedar compass]

With Dynamic mics you need stay way closer to mic to pick decent sound . Condenser mics are better but yeah it picks lots of background noise and reverb in room

[wet spindle]

gn

[velvet summit]

who are you? but gn

lmao

mans joins to say gn

based

[cedar compass]

That just have that old fashioned tubes inside

That's tube in rode classic 2

[velvet summit]

i didnt know they had those in mics

[cedar compass]

Usually highend mics have those

It needs regular replacement. They giving dirty sound in time . Since tubes are mechanical thing they breaking easily

[velvet summit]

still a decent amount of hours though

[keen shale]

Supposedly a cleaner sound than transistors. Depends on your ears.

Same applies to amplifiers

[cedar compass]

Yeah tubes are still sounds better to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean in theory digital sound is better but I'm old man lol

[keen shale]

I agree that tubes give you a "warmer" sound

However, they do tend to mute some higher end frequencies IMO

[velvet summit]

i think that's what people kinda like though? the sound is a little bit more pleasing to the ears

[cedar compass]

Yeah we used to have issues with high frequencies back then . it was hard to get clear high freqs but now we have problem with bass lol

[keen shale]

I tend to like a brighter sound

[cedar compass]

We were paying to good equipment to hear highs but now cheap devices have clear highs but have to pay more for clear bass

[mortal grail]

I just stopped after I got a shure

Like, I listen to TV now and they sound worse than me a lot of the time

💀

And a lot of them use sm7b too

[cedar compass]

Most studios still using analog / tube devices and effects so

[mortal grail]

I just hate echo

Reverb

Sounds so bad to me

[cedar compass]

SM7B is actually good mic but yeah stremers mostly don't know anything about sound engineering so they messing up

[cedar compass]

Digital effects

[mortal grail]

My mixer is good enough with the noise trapping in the room so I don't really care to buy anything newer

[mortal grail]

Who said anything about effects

I don't have any at all

I don't use noise cancelling much if at all

I have the software, but I don't use it for the shure lol

My older mic did however have echo

That one did require a small degree of tuning

But once it worked the quality was honestly very similar and you'd never guess the mic

[cedar compass]

I got rode NT1 5th gen recently . And I have Apollo x8 audio interface . I work for foreign company so I need talk to them online a lot lol

[mortal grail]

I can't remember mine

Was it creative k3+?

It basically has a bunch of knobs and I need none of them

💀

[cedar compass]

Almost any mic is alright for streaming nowadays

[mortal grail]

Ofc

But I mean in a quality sense

They sound very alike

[cedar compass]

especially on youtube sound quality is crappy anyways

[mortal grail]

You can grab a cheap $30 fifine and with enough filtering will sound like it's $300

But not the point

Talking side by side

[pliant berry]

I prefer the tone of the nt1 over the sm7b. To me it sounds too bloated

[mortal grail]

It's entirely dependent on the interface and setup

A good mixer will make a garbage mic sound good

[tacit geode]

So car is getting ready

[tacit geode]

But tempted to get a different car if this isn't ready today

[proud jackal]

[tacit geode]

Hey my bday

Thanks for the gift

[dusk knot]

Whoop whoop

[proud jackal]

@dusk knot how does it feel

[dusk knot]

The contrast is amazing. The motion blur is Almost non-existent. The HDR is phenomenal. Yours will peak at 1300 nits, that's impressive.

But it can do a sustainable 800 or so I think

[proud jackal]

No

[dusk knot]

Nvm

[proud jackal]

How does it feel to have an obsolete monitor compared toime

[dusk knot]

💀💀💀💀

[proud jackal]

Sorry that was mean

[dusk knot]

Lol it's fine

[keen shale]

Theo mean? Nevar

[dusk knot]

I love my monitor. Hoping to keep it for many more years

[proud jackal]

Yeah

Hope this will be my last monitor before I die

[dusk knot]

You better not die on us

Not before you become an admin

L@proud jackal is the screen glossy or is it matte?

[keen shale]

Just realized my monitor is at least 6 years old

[chrome mirage]

My work still has stuff in the fridge with a best before date of 2022

[keen shale]

We cleaned out our pantry two years ago. Found some stuff that expired 6 years prior to that

[chrome mirage]

I work in a school and they've been giving kids expired unrefrigerated mayonnaise

[keen shale]

I don't do mayo so I'd be safe but yuck

[chrome mirage]

The bathrooms are awful to clean

[keen shale]

only needs to be refridge if opened tho right?

I mean it's on store shelves and not in fridges

[chrome mirage]

They open them then leave them on the counter for hours

[keen shale]

Oh, that's not great

[proud jackal]

@dusk knot matte

[dusk knot]

No big deal. Can't wait to see it

I'll link you to some HDR videos on YouTube

As of late, the screen on my iPad is the best I've ever seen. The brightness in HDR could burn your eyes out. Glossy really is better.

[proud jackal]

I have a window behind me so it would kill the experience for me

[dusk knot]

But blinds

[dusk knot]

Looks weak

[fervent gull]

And I'm now alive. I stayed up way too late trying to work with my Surface trying to get the bios file.

[nocturne flicker]

We have some dented cans lying around with best by dates of 2014

And 5 year old boxes of cereal

[keen shale]

Cereal would probably be so bland lol

Most canned foods are good long past that date anyway but it does depend on what it is

[nocturne flicker]

Dented can

Some of them slightly rusted too

Yum yum botulism

[keen shale]

Yea, rust is a big no no

Dents not so bad as long as it's not on a seam

[nocturne flicker]

Sat in a frequently flooded basement for 9 or so years before getting put in a box when we moved

[keen shale]

Glass canning jars most OP storage ever

Rogue(X-Men) and Johnny Storm?

[nocturne flicker]

Who is Pondsmith

[keen shale]

Pond smith?

[nocturne flicker]

The master smithy of Ponds

[keen shale]

Definitely not the master

sufficient

[dusk knot]

Someone that makes ponds is called a smith?

[keen shale]

IDK, Weary said Pond smith, only thing I could think of

[nocturne flicker]

Were I come from ponds are flooded fields and dips next to hills, it is masterful to me

[keen shale]

SOunds like some beautiful countryside

[craggy shoal]

Bruh somebody made Skibidi Toilet and said "yeah this is fire"

[nocturne flicker]

The only actual pond I've seen is probably a duck pond next to a hospital back when I was a small boi and my mother'd take me to feed the ducks

It was surrounded by willow trees

[keen shale]

There's a pond like that in the city not far from me

One Willow tree, the rest are firs

[fervent stump]

What gpu is this?

My friends build

[keen shale]

Gigabyte RTX 4090

[craggy shoal]

It's a GPU

Could be wrong though idk

[keen shale]

It's a Turbo Confabulator

Dangit, it's Encabulator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac7G7xOG2Ag

[craggy shoal]

Bruh I just want my car back

It's 5pm and my mom decides to take the worst intersection on the freeway to pick me up (she has to cross the freeway to pick me up)

Hate not having a car lol

[keen shale]

uber?

[craggy shoal]

Costs money

Plus they'd probably take the same route lmao

[keen shale]

They do cost money but so do cars and fuel

[craggy shoal]

"Oh it's a straight shot from point A to point B" YEAH BUT 😭

[keen shale]

I've taken trips exclusively with Uber because cheaper than rental car

[craggy shoal]

I’ve had to do that when I was in Austin last week and I couldn't stand it

Surprising how bad some people can be at driving

[keen shale]

Ohhhhh

hahaha

I had a lady get mad at a semi truck that wouldn't let her on the freeway

She literally said "People have to yield to ONCOMING traffic!"

She thought it meant oncoming as in getting on the freeway

I didn't have the patience that day to explain it to her and just sat in the back fuming

[craggy shoal]

It's crazy how people drive like that bruh

Imagine driving as the main portion of your job and you don't even know the terminology of driving

[keen shale]

She was also retired so a bit aged

But even so, it blew my mind

[craggy shoal]

Dang bruh my mom is doing 60mph in a 45 💀

[keen shale]

Don't ride with my wife. Lead foot, ball bearing ankle and likes to tail gate

[pliant berry]

Sounds like my sister

[proud jackal]

How old sister

[keen shale]

My sister drives like that as well

[pliant berry]

Get outa here theo

At 75mph

How tf did a prius manage to tailgate me in such conditions

I will never know

I can only chalk it up to the driver being crazy af

[icy ore]

[sinful blade]

Okay
Either I get normal SS resuming, $11k, or $24k

[sinful blade]

Either way
Life changing amounts

[keen shale]

Those things can fly. Had one as a rental car once, they're no slouch

[sinful blade]

@sweet phoenix what do you think I could get for $24K

[sweet phoenix]

Uhh

Food, probably pay rent/mortgage and utilities

[opaque sedge]

in my area

a 2018 honda civic with an accident history

[keen shale]

Don't blow wad of money all at once. Get what you need, not what you want

Just like any anime writer ig

some people may not have seen the 13 year old anime yet

[opaque sedge]

Wait nvm

Only one cool guy in that entire anime

[light egret]

there's literally only one cool guy

[proud jackal]

[light egret]

what about Mashle? you seen that one yet?

theo what's your top newish anime

[opaque sedge]

Had read the manga already

[light egret]

[fervent gull]

I don't understand this.

I didn’t know I was your wife

No but it fuels ego

[light egret]

I'm assuming you're trying to update your bios, so that file is the bios update file. Follow the rest of the instructions below

To flash a Gigabyte BIOS using a USB flash drive, you can try the following steps:
Go to the Gigabyte website and find the product page for your motherboard model.
Go to the Support page and click the BIOS tab.
Download the latest BIOS for your motherboard.
Extract the BIOS file from the downloaded zip folder and save it to a USB flash drive.
Restart your computer and enter BIOS.
Enter Q-FLASH.
Select Update BIOS From Drive from the Q-Flash main menu.
Choose the USB flash drive and select the BIOS file.
Select Quick Update or Normal Update to begin the BIOS update.
Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm and start the update.
Do not interrupt the process.
The system will restart after the update is complete.

if you can't get to bios, your mobo may have a BIOS USB port on the back which you would put the USB in and press the BIOS flash button depending on mobo

[opaque sedge]

Happiness

[light egret]

have you tried building another computer

[opaque sedge]

Nah

[velvet summit]

their mobo also has a qflash plus button

which may be a bit easier

[tranquil pebble]

I may have gotten EDF 6 is stop crashing on my system

[fervent gull]

Lmk if I'm at least on the right track. This shiii has my blood pressure uuuuuup 😂

[light egret]

are you able to get into your computer?

[sinful blade]

But it makes me feel better knowing that the other person is going to get annoyed

[fervent gull]

I was just making sure I had it on my USB first. In the military we were never allowed to use USB's so this is my first go around with one.

[sinful blade]

I should not have a license

[proud jackal]

I should not have a life

[light egret]

USBs for home cumputers are perfectly fine and safe, just dont grab a random one off the street and use it lol.

[sweet phoenix]

That is endangering multiple peoples lives but you do you ig

[fervent gull]

Right, I bought a fresh one and a USB female for my Surface Pro since it's USB-C

[light egret]

What are you trying to do? I wasn't here for anything before the bios flashing lol

[fervent gull]

Trying to update my BIOS so I can put wipe windows off and the reinstall

[light egret]

are you trying to do a fresh install of the same windows or are you trying to go from 10 to 11?

[fervent gull]

So it had 11 on there, compatibility issues, so I went to wipe the PC not knowing what I was doing and when it goes to install it's looping haaaaaard.

I just want a working PC.

[light egret]

Ah. Ok you may need to change some bios settings

[fervent gull]

Okay. Well I'm lost as all get out so if you need me to hop on a call and you walk me through it I won't complain a singular bit.

[light egret]

I cannot I'm in class lmao

Updating the bios should apparently put all the defaults to what's neccesary for win 11 to work

so do that first

[fervent gull]

Okay.

Holy crap is my luck turning around?? My BIOS is updating y'all 😬

Okay, BIOS is done and rebooting

Okay, now it's looping again.

[light egret]

Did you try a new windows 11 install media?

[fervent gull]

Now I gotta download Windows 11 to that USB right?

[light egret]

yeah

[opaque sedge]

Lucky i’m scared for the day i end up upgrading my cpu and have to do a bios update

[light egret]

it's not hard, just upgrade before you swap the cpu

[opaque sedge]

Hopefully the 7800x3d outlasts the am5 platform 🤞

[opaque sedge]

Oh i heard if power goes out during bios flashback ur mobo’s toast

[light egret]

it can mess it up, yeah

but the bios update is not very time consuming

[opaque sedge]

Oh cool

[fervent gull]

Yeah less than 5 mins

[opaque sedge]

Lightning strikes be faster than that

[light egret]

dont do it while it storming outside

[opaque sedge]

Yh was abt mention weather

[fervent stump]

Meow

[light egret]

bark

[opaque sedge]

Farts

[fervent stump]

So ummm how can I make this cheaper without losing much performance? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cM7mXk

[opaque sedge]

[fervent stump]

I read facts 😭

[opaque sedge]

Probably opting for an air cooler

Can get plenty under 40 bucks even less for a 7800x3d

[fervent stump]

WAIT I MEAN WHITE PSU

[fervent stump]

Will it ummm

Look cool?

[opaque sedge]

Well no, i have a 7800x3d and my pc is sad to look at

[light egret]

7900xtx isn't quite the level of a 4090 but it is 700 dollars cheaper

[opaque sedge]

Default fans on the case too

[fervent stump]

Looks nice but I’d want matching fans

[fervent stump]

Oh yea I need that Aio

My friend showed me this

Anime

[light egret]

https://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-Hellhound-Spectral-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B0C1Z7HG27?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

[opaque sedge]

Once uve maxed out on performance i would say its fine to splurge on more aesthetically pleasing components or extra storage tbf

[fervent stump]

That aio is 300 bucks so I am getting one for 150

[opaque sedge]

Damn how

[fervent stump]

As much as I love that and the looks I want a 4090 😭

[light egret]

if you want top of the line and all white you gonna be paying top of the line and all white prices lol

[dusk knot]

5090 soon

[opaque sedge]

Custom loop it

[fervent stump]

https://a.co/d/iAk0nkm

[fervent stump]

:c

[opaque sedge]

(Dont listen to me i was barely able to build my own pc)

[fervent stump]

I’m waiting for 5000 to come out then buy my 4090

[opaque sedge]

Doubt it would get much of a discount

[light egret]

yeah it won't drop by much

[fervent stump]

10 bucks is ten bucks 😭

[light egret]

most likely

[opaque sedge]

Zotac has a refurb 4090 for under 1.4k I believe

But you wont get that white aesthetic unfortunately

[fervent stump]

Can I get wraps or something to make them look nicer?

[light egret]

that's a good point, you could try to find most of your parts used on ebay or somethin and hope they're not messed up at all

why do you want a 4090?

[opaque sedge]

Its from zotacs website itself bacca posted it in deal a while ago i think

[fervent stump]

Ummm

Soooo

[opaque sedge]

Flexing rights?

[dusk knot]

Good plan

[light egret]

do we even know when 5000 is coming out yet

[opaque sedge]

Videography

?

[fervent stump]

I want to have something that will last for a long time, I plan on playing a lot of games and don’t want to have to worry, I want to flex and I plan on doing something’s that good stuff I think

[opaque sedge]

Apparently delayed to 2025 or smth

[fervent stump]

Ima save up like 2.5k or 3k then once I get it I’ll start buying

[opaque sedge]

Performance gains on every new generation from last gen is brutal nowadays I wouldn’t count too much on futureproofing cuz my almost midrange 7900xt has the same performance as the 3090ti which was almost 2 grand a couple years ago

[light egret]

any higher end gpu will last about the same amount of time in terms of usability lol. 4090 is overkill IMO unless you really need it or can afford it or are theo. But if you got the money and want it, that's fine too but you gotta pay the 4090 tax lol

[fervent stump]

Wb like getting a 5060 or something when it’s a thing

[light egret]

I would say any mid to high range PC is good for at least about 5ish years

[storm narwhal]

More than 5 years tbh

[opaque sedge]

The 60 cards usually have pretty bad value at launch right guys?

[light egret]

besides it's a lot cheaper to upgrade certain parts over time than to just buy a new PC every couple years, so like even if you need a new GPU in 2-4 years, it's an easy swap and if its the same brand it's even easier

[fervent stump]

5070?

[opaque sedge]

Oh nah was asking myself actually

[light egret]

I usually go for the 70 cards

[storm narwhal]

In my experience it's about 7-8 before you start to see that it might not be enough

[fervent stump]

Oh

[light egret]

but I currently have a 3060 cause my mom bought it for me out of the blue lol

[fervent stump]

But wouldn’t the 4090 last longer since it’s very good right now?

[opaque sedge]

Good mom

[fervent stump]

Lucky

[storm narwhal]

Not enough to play the latest AAA 7-8 years in the future

[light egret]

it will last longer, sure, BUT, not last longer per value

[storm narwhal]

Sure, yeah but

[opaque sedge]

Scratch that, great mom actually

[storm narwhal]

Not worth the money now haha

[opaque sedge]

Best consumer available gpu in the planet rn

[storm narwhal]

Well, for me

[fervent stump]

I mainly want it to flex, not worry about anything and it will make me happy

[opaque sedge]

Oh worries huh

[light egret]

you can get a 4070 for a quarter of the price and still have a long lasting PC lol

[storm narwhal]

As long as you've got it in your budget

[opaque sedge]

Pc builds will always come with worries unfortunately

[fervent stump]

It’s not though

[storm narwhal]

Welp

[fervent stump]

I mean like lag I don’t have to worry

[storm narwhal]

Get what you can now lmao

[light egret]

yeah if you can afford it, go for it, but if you can't, settle for something a lil lower

[fervent stump]

I will just save

[opaque sedge]

What’s ur budget rn?

And do you have your peripherals already?

[storm narwhal]

I honestly would still be fine with my 3600 and 2070 if I never upgraded anything

[opaque sedge]

I made a huge mistake not accounting for my budget with peripherals

[light egret]

7900 xtx is equiv to a 4080 super? I believe? and it's much cheaper

[fervent stump]

I’m saving up for like 2.5-3k

[light egret]

3060 does fine on everything I've tried so far lol

[storm narwhal]

3060 is not bad

[light egret]

But coming from a 970, anything newish is better lmao

[opaque sedge]

Ekes out a bit in raster, but 4080s has access to dlss and rt if ppl want to play a few specific games with it

[storm narwhal]

Oooh ray tracing oooo

Its still a gimmick to this day lmao

[opaque sedge]

Goes on sale often too

[light egret]

but MAH REFLECKSHIONS

[storm narwhal]

Which kinda sucks cause it's cool tech

[fervent stump]

If I get this I will be happy for life https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cM7mXk

Look at colors too

[dusk knot]

No RT no life

[opaque sedge]

Oh god its the path tracing nutjob

[dusk knot]

[fervent stump]

What’s ray tracing do again?

[light egret]

I've yet to try RT

[dusk knot]

Glad you asked

[light egret]

it makes lights act like actual light and reflections act like actual reflections

[fervent stump]

Oh alright

[opaque sedge]

U got a microcenter near you?

[fervent stump]

4090 it is

[light egret]

but imo the reflection and light tech was already pretty good

[fervent stump]

No :(

[opaque sedge]

That sucks

[dusk knot]

Ray tracing is a simulation of how light works in real life.

[opaque sedge]

Also the devs for cyberpunk worked real hard on lightning so it looks good even without rt

[light egret]

a lot of AAA games have done that lol, hence why I'm not super impressed with RT. It's cool tech for sure, but unneccesary in a video game

[opaque sedge]

(Dont ask me abt the suicidal guy on the cross)

[light egret]

tell me about the suicidal guy on the cross

[dusk knot]

With enough bounces, you get more accurate, shadows, reflections, and all the other propagations of light like subsurface scattering. It's really cool @fervent stump

So far only cyberpunk 2077 has the REAL DEAL so far

But even now we still don't have full on path tracing

[fervent stump]

I don’t need ray tracing but I need a 4090

[opaque sedge]

Serial murderer who became a religious nutjob after he became penpals with the sister of a dude he killed who is also religious af and decided to forgive him and the dude decided that in order spread the word of christ he needs to make a VR experience of his own crucifiction in hopes that people will learn abt god

[dusk knot]

You need both

[light egret]

Man I shouldn't have asked

if only someone had warned me

im jk lol

I kinda wanna try that game

[fervent stump]

I wouldn’t even know how to turn it on

[light egret]

but my cousin wont gimme his password

[fervent stump]

Ray tracing in Roblox :D

[opaque sedge]

Insert cyberpunk theme

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-cyberpunk-2077-cyberpunk-intro-intro-animation-welcome-to-cyberpunk-world-gif-731908915399668440

[fervent stump]

What if I got the best pc but bad wifi will it still be good

[velvet summit]

yeah

[opaque sedge]

Most single player games have cloud saves so may encounter a bit of problems when it autosaves

[velvet summit]

i survived with fairly bad internet for years

[opaque sedge]

I notice stutters when my game autosaves in cyberpunk

[fervent stump]

Would I lag still

[velvet summit]

depends

[opaque sedge]

For multi prolly

Single

Nah

[fervent stump]

I’m not buying a 3k pc to still lag

[opaque sedge]

Only thing that will make u lag in single will prolly be latency from your peripherals

[velvet summit]

you'll unlikely stutter, but you'll possibly experience desync from high network latency to the server

[opaque sedge]

Get 100 dollar per month wifi and a 2k pc then

[fervent stump]

I’m a kid I don’t have control over the wifi

[velvet summit]

but it also depends on how the multiplayer game operates

[fervent stump]

Nvm I need the 3k pc

I found the best motherboard

[opaque sedge]

Any chance you could drill a couple holes to drive a ethernet cable to ur pc?

[fervent stump]

Maybe run it by the wall since the wifi thing is in my room

[opaque sedge]

I doubt u have super bad wifi tho most basic wifi plans are pretty good nowadays

Unless u have a bunch of devices connected to the net

[fervent stump]

I’ve never been able to tell since I’ve had a 200 dollar laptop

I wanna play 5m

[storm narwhal]

A good wifi card isn't even that expensive?

AX210

[opaque sedge]

B650 mobos have pretty good wifi built in too

[ancient swift]

I hate how much I like handhelds sometimes

Cause like, why do I want this

I already have plenty of handhelds. This isn't anything special.

[opaque sedge]

Which one?

[ancient swift]

I have sooooo many

[opaque sedge]

Can it play cyberpunk in high settings?

[light egret]

send some my way lol

I love handhelds

[opaque sedge]

Whats ur main one?

[ancient swift]

Thats not why you get handhelds

[light egret]

but I only have like actual handhelds, 3ds, gba, gbc, vita, psp, etc

[ancient swift]

Analogue Pocket, Ayn Odin 2, and the Steam Deck OLED.

[opaque sedge]

Imagine doing this in a handheld

[light egret]

I want an emulation handheld so bad

[opaque sedge]

I had a vita ages ago too only actual gaming device i owned before my current pc

[ancient swift]

The linux ones or an android one @light egret

[light egret]

prob an android based

i don't think I'd care

[opaque sedge]

Only had 4 games for it sadly

[ancient swift]

Ayn Odin 2 if you want gamecube.

[light egret]

but the prob is I want it to handle up to GC lol

I can't afford any rn lol

[ancient swift]

Ah Valid

[opaque sedge]

Lego lotr, wipeout 2048, dynasty warriors, sega all stars racing

Best games i ever played in my life

Before cyberpunk ofc

[light egret]

I almost bought an ambernic for like 50 bucks off tiktok shop but it couldn't handle anything harder than like gba

and gba was barely

[ancient swift]

[light egret]

and also im broke 😅

[opaque sedge]

Half of america be like: same

[light egret]

I'm currently jobless with a baby on the way. I've applied to hundreds of places already and haven't heard back from a single one. I've rebuilt my resume so many times and have put it through checkers and it passes and everything and nothing

[opaque sedge]

Oh god

Also apparently a lot of companies are posting fake job listings nowadays

Their reasoning for this you ask?

[sinful blade]

I stopped doing it as much recently
As it’s gotten me in trouble

[opaque sedge]

Apparently cuz they can

[sinful blade]

So that can put some ease to your mind

[opaque sedge]

Johnny silverhand was right abt corpos ngl

[fervent stump]

Either I’m buying everything at the same time or the last thing I’m buying is the gpu

[opaque sedge]

Buy at the same time tbh

I took a week to gather all my components and i was a mess from the excitement

[fervent stump]

Yea I’d die from excitement

[opaque sedge]

looks like a lot of tech companies took a bit of a hit today

[light egret]

the main reason you dont buy slowly over time is cause you gotta test everything before the RMA time is up

[opaque sedge]

yh one week max at best

[fervent stump]

What’s rma?

[light egret]

that's cause they didn't hire me

[opaque sedge]

warranty process

[light egret]

rma means return to manufactorer

so return window

[opaque sedge]

also if ur within 30 days of retail store purchase makes exchanging faulty parts easier

i had to exchange my first gpu

cuz it kept acting gonky

[fervent stump]

My pc I can buy everything from Amazon except case doesn’t Amazon make you return stuff by a month?

[light egret]

i usually return to the store i bought it from

i think its 15 days for amazon

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

Also for rgb where do I connect that stuff?

[opaque sedge]

usually the product should have the return period listed

[light egret]

oh im wrong its 30 days

[opaque sedge]

should say smth like "30 day free returns"

[light egret]

usually you gotta get an rgb controller which will connect to the RGB header on the mobo if it has addressable

but im not super savy with RGB stuff

[opaque sedge]

same gave up after seeing what a pain it was

[fervent stump]

Where do I go to make them all the same color?

[opaque sedge]

currently my priority is getting a better monitor

[light egret]

some, like mine, just connect to a power cord and fan plug and you change the color with a remote

[fervent stump]

Like I want that type of blue

[sinful blade]

Oh hey @fervent stump I didn’t even notice you came back

[fervent stump]

Yea I made a new dc account

[sinful blade]

What happened to the old one

[fervent stump]

I had a lot of problems with people and wanted it to stop

[opaque sedge]

btw what type of monitor r u getting?

[sinful blade]

Good idea

[fervent stump]

Ummmm

Idk yet

[opaque sedge]

...

pls

account for your monitor budget too

[fervent stump]

@ripe solstice my old acc

[fervent stump]

I’ll use my crappy one till I get a good one

[opaque sedge]

had i done so i could have been enjoying games on an oled screen

[opaque sedge]

monitor bottleneck is a new one 😭

[fervent stump]

Shhhhhh

Don’t use that word around my future 4090

[light egret]

im using a couple really old and crappy monitors lol

[opaque sedge]

4090 aint gonna make ur games look good without a good monitor tho

[fervent stump]

Lemme cook

[opaque sedge]

like for example instead of getting a 7900xt and an ips monitor i could have gotten a 7900gre and oled monitor and have a much much better gaming experince

not just gaming in fact

[fervent stump]

I’ll get two oled monitors

Not now

I’m poor

[opaque sedge]

that will be 1500 thank you

jk

[fervent stump]

Actually what if I wanted to game and watch YT can’t I get 2 oled?

[sweet phoenix]

I wouldnt, just a decent secondary

[fervent stump]

Yes my dad said I did a good job cleaning

:D

[fervent stump]

Alright

[sweet phoenix]

The absolute most I'd consider for a secondary is
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/k8GnTW/gigabyte-m27q-270-2560x1440-170-hz-monitor-m27q

[fervent stump]

27” wow that’s a big screen

[sweet phoenix]

And that was considered high end for monitors before oleds were to the point they are now, a few years ago

[sinful blade]

The good ol’ m27q

[sweet phoenix]

Nicer than my main monitor lol

[opaque sedge]

is that ips or va?

[sweet phoenix]

Ips

Very nice ips

[opaque sedge]

what do u think of the dell g2724d?

thats what i got

[sweet phoenix]

Bit worse than g27q, which is a step below m27q

[fervent stump]

Wait so can’t I buy that for now and use that then in the future buy a oled and use the oled as my main and that one as a second?

[sweet phoenix]

Yes

[opaque sedge]

oof

[sinful blade]

Yes

[opaque sedge]

should i return it?

[fervent stump]

I’m smart :D

[opaque sedge]

paid 200 after tax for mine

[sweet phoenix]

That's what I'm going to do when I get an oled, my x27q, Ips 1440p 165hz will become my secondary

$165 after tax for me from amazon

[fervent stump]

Is 3 screens to much?

[sweet phoenix]

Nah, it's still a good monitor

[sinful blade]

Wow 5 less hz terrible monitor smh

[opaque sedge]

cool probably wont notice the micro diff anyways

[sweet phoenix]

If you stream seriously, it could be justifiable potentially

[opaque sedge]

just like i wouldn't have noticed the 10 less fps in cyberpunk from an xt to a gre

[fervent stump]

Me want this

[sinful blade]

That would be terrible

[sweet phoenix]

I had 3, went down to two and was perfectly fine since I stopped streaming

[fervent stump]

WHYYY

[sinful blade]

I’ll let Bacca explain

Me no good with big word

[sweet phoenix]

Imo

[opaque sedge]

and i want this

[sweet phoenix]

Set your monitors up however you want. Personally, that would be difficult to look at

[fervent stump]

Cheap

:o

[sweet phoenix]

And would likely make my neck hurt

[fervent stump]

How come?

[sinful blade]

Unless you got 3 identical monitors
You would notice slight differences
Probably straining your eyes

[opaque sedge]

for an oled monitor sure

still a premium price for a premium product tho

[sweet phoenix]

I would much rather have one display in my direct eye line at a time, and looking between the two too much would hurt my neck/eyes

[fervent stump]

I’m saying that I like that it’s cheap

[sweet phoenix]

Also this is $150 rn
https://www.costco.com/msi-27"-wqhd-ips-nvidia-g-sync-gaming-monitor.product.4000203457.html

[sinful blade]

OH
I went to a bestbuy today

One I’ve never been to before

[fervent stump]

3 oled

[sweet phoenix]

$555 oled
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KqfxFT/cooler-master-tempest-gz2711-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-cmi-gz2711-us

[fervent stump]

💀

[sinful blade]

The one near me went out of business

[opaque sedge]

mans abt to make try and return my 7900xt thats past the window for a gre now

[sinful blade]

So nearest one is one I never went to before

[fervent stump]

Good with 4090?

[sinful blade]

You likely wouldn’t put the 4090 through its paces without playing the newest games on high settings with rtx on

[fervent stump]

So I can get a 10 dollar monitor?

[sinful blade]

I would suggest not buying a 4090

[fervent stump]

:(

Whyyyy

[sinful blade]

And instead buy something like a 4080 super or something

[opaque sedge]

Same like get a 4080s and an oled

I would suggest my past self to get a gre and oled too

[fervent stump]

How come?

[opaque sedge]

Even if i had to kick myself in the nuts for it

[opaque sedge]

Ok listen

The monitor

Is the medium for what you see

That your pc generates

[storm narwhal]

4080S is still plenty of power

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure the quality of that medium

Matters a ton

For gaming experience

[storm narwhal]

with RT, and nice recording software

4090 is pretty much like if you have money to burn or if you do more than just gaming

[fervent stump]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CWJhh3

??

[storm narwhal]

like heavy simulation/ai workloads

or machine learning

[opaque sedge]

Looks solid pricewise not sure abt the mobo, were the mobo ram and drive suggested by the folks here?

[fervent stump]

They weren’t

[opaque sedge]

Also thermalright coolers are great when it comes to price to performance

[opaque sedge]

Cool would look for suggestions there

[fervent stump]

I still want the 4090

[sweet phoenix]

Ye

[opaque sedge]

Then save up for a good monitor as well

[sweet phoenix]

Ye

[fervent stump]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RKqGpB

[sweet phoenix]

Also

Again

[fervent stump]

Whyyyy

[sinful blade]

Could get thermal assassin x for $40

[sweet phoenix]

5080

[fervent stump]

Hmmmm

I’m poor

How do you change what’s on a aio

[light egret]

the screen?

theres a software that controls the nzxt kraken and you can change the screen on that software.

[sinful blade]

@elfin mural what MacBook would you recommend that isn’t a wallet breaker

[opaque sedge]

Budget?

[sinful blade]

Below $500

[opaque sedge]

And do you mind refurbs?

[sinful blade]

Refurbished is also acceptable

[opaque sedge]

Oh

[sinful blade]

I read your mind

[opaque sedge]

Are you my johnny silverhand?

[sinful blade]

No im just Roomba

Well just Roomba

[storm narwhal]

I return

[opaque sedge]

Are you taking over my body by any chance?

[sinful blade]

Are you a wizard

[storm narwhal]

Refurbished M1 Air with 16GB ram

[opaque sedge]

No

I’m a delusional

[sinful blade]

Well no
You’re a wizard

[storm narwhal]

unless theres something specific you want to do with your mac

[sinful blade]

Nah

[storm narwhal]

well, there you go lol

[opaque sedge]

Same and the minimum storage on that is 256gb i think which is plenty if u store important files on external drives

[storm narwhal]

maybe an M2 air if it doesn't break the bank either

256 is not enough lmao

trust me

I have to selectively install programs on my laptop which has a 256GB boot drive

[sinful blade]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/276341354793?

This?

[light egret]

just google the right parts and build an illegal custom apple pc

[storm narwhal]

its on like 23GB free space

[opaque sedge]

Ok so storage could be a restriction apparently so use case matters too

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/karen-being-a-karen-calling-the-police-calling-the-cops-gif-27252855

[opaque sedge]

Hackintosh is dead

[light egret]

is it? how?

[sinful blade]

She wants it more as an extension of her iphone

[opaque sedge]

Well was mid anyways

[storm narwhal]

Other than the storage, that looks not bad

[opaque sedge]

Current macos versions are only supported on apple silicon

[light egret]

gross

[storm narwhal]

Not sure what kinda programs you'd wanna install on it

but if it's not many, 256GB is fine

I just have a lot of programs I use a lot lol

[opaque sedge]

Yh basically think of it like a giant mobile but with utilities for creative professionals

[storm narwhal]

but i've gotten so afraid of running out of space i installed some on my external drive lol

[opaque sedge]

Oh 256gb should be enough unless she plans to make backups of her devices on there

And some inconvenience

By having to store files on external drives

[storm narwhal]

simply an nvme and an enclosure

[opaque sedge]

512 would be more convenient prolly

[storm narwhal]

my friend uses her macbook for just word processing and like 5 really small games so 256 was more than enough

[opaque sedge]

Apple arcade has a bunch of relaxing games

Like stardew

Sneaky sasquatch

[storm narwhal]

stores all the files on an external drive anyway

[opaque sedge]

Yh just a mild inconvenience at best

[sinful blade]

She doesn’t backup anything
I tell her to all the time

[storm narwhal]

She's going to be in for a rude surprise when the inevitable happens

[opaque sedge]

Totally not having imposter syndrome rn

[storm narwhal]

but that's literally how almost everyone learns their lesson of BACK YOUR STUFF UP

Oh yeah we were talking about cyberpunk before

[opaque sedge]

Insert cyberpunk theme

[storm narwhal]

and I just want to add that GNs massive video on what settings have the most effect

is extremely helpful

[sinful blade]

UwU

[storm narwhal]

and accurate

RT on with literally nothing else selected makes no difference which is hilarious to me

[opaque sedge]

Also the shortest video i could get on my blade gameplay

[storm narwhal]

well, frame wise

but you get RT for the cost of nothing kekw

only when you turn on the other options do you see any difference

and how the decal options have next to no effect on decal lifetime

[opaque sedge]

I would adjust the shadow distance settings tbh

[rancid juniper]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-to-cut-15-of-its-workforce-in-new-cost-savings-plan

i still find this a bit sad

working your ass off to get into corporations like intel ain't easy and yet you can still get rekt if a company makes a massive oopsie

[sinful blade]

Shame

I was going to integrate an intel cpu into a future build

But now I have 0 plans

[rancid juniper]

same

[nocturne flicker]

I was thinking about doing an Intel build down the line.

Now I'm not

[rancid juniper]

however it still needs to compete after this fiasco

gotta bring balance to the competition

somehow

[sweet phoenix]

It'll definitely be... interesting to see how this affects the cpu market

[storm narwhal]

cascaded shadows and contact shadows make a much bigger dent

[rancid juniper]

for real

[storm narwhal]

the basic and advanced settings for shadows and lens flares and stuff outside of RT options make for a 2% difference in frames

Ambient Occlusion medium also makes a 2.4% difference but actually looks different even on low vs off

[sinful blade]

Hopefully that new laptop cpu maker gets into the business

Qualcomm

Samsung too

[fervent stump]

Meow

[sinful blade]

Maybe nvidia will hop into the cpu market

After absolutely dominating the gpu market for years

[fervent stump]

No

I don’t wanna go in debt

[storm narwhal]

yes

they're planning it already aren't they

[sinful blade]

@rancid juniper ?

[fervent stump]

Hope not

[rancid juniper]

what???

[sinful blade]

https://www.fastcompany.com/91130410/nvidia-is-ready-to-storm-intels-pc-market

@storm narwhal

[storm narwhal]

yeah i thought i remembered correctly

[sinful blade]

Gold

[storm narwhal]

bro they refer to AMD by their full name

what the hell

[sinful blade]

Because Amd

[storm narwhal]

"...kept its main rival, Advanced Micro Devices, at bay for decades"

[fervent stump]

That’s the name? Advanced micro devices?

[storm narwhal]

literally no one does that

its AMD or Intel bro

but yes

[fervent stump]

That’s amd?

[rancid juniper]

Advancing micro devices with this one

[storm narwhal]

Fr

[fervent stump]

What’s the best cpu for everything overall no budget?

[rancid juniper]

uh

[storm narwhal]

there isn't really?

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[storm narwhal]

theres best for gaming and best for productivity

[craggy shoal]

Whatever can handle your GPU (just get a 7800X3D)

[fervent stump]

Let’s say the 4090

[storm narwhal]

though as it stands, probably anything AMD until intel solves their issues

7800X3D very good

[fervent stump]

Yea I’m getting that

[modern imp]

I'd just wait for both Arrowlake and Zen5X3D to launch at this point

both aren't far from launch

[storm narwhal]

might have to wait out teething issues

[rancid juniper]

i like woter

[storm narwhal]

👀

[rancid juniper]

you like woter???

[fervent stump]

I’m saving up as much money till this Christmas and then I’m gonna probably buy stuff then

[rancid juniper]

wait till 2025

[storm narwhal]

lmao

[rancid juniper]

new hardware pops up

[storm narwhal]

real

[fervent stump]

I’ll wait till my birthday April 10

[rancid juniper]

ok

good

[fervent stump]

Plus more money

[storm narwhal]

intel doesn't

[fervent stump]

More options

More money to waste

As long as I get a very very good gpu and a aio with a screen I’m happy

[sinful blade]

I hope my case gets approved for backpay
Cuz then all my debt is gone, and I can finally get a computer set up

[fervent stump]

What about getting a 6080 super

[sinful blade]

You’re a little early

[storm narwhal]

what kinda question is that lmaoo

[fervent stump]

Shhhhhh

[storm narwhal]

it aint even out

[fervent stump]

Oh I thought we were time traveling

[rancid juniper]

For me, I'd probably wait for ryzen 11k + radeon 10k or something

maybe even longer

if my intel cpu can last that is

[storm narwhal]

then I'll finally retire my 3600

[craggy shoal]

3600 running my AI server rn 💀

[fervent stump]

I already know what I want for NOW not sure what they will have when I get the money

[rancid juniper]

[sinful blade]

Gimme all your old 3600s

[craggy shoal]

Ryzen 8000

[rancid juniper]

This is the Radeon 890m

[craggy shoal]

The fact that an R9 Fury X performs better than a GTX 1660 💀

[rancid juniper]

uh well if you look at the power draw-------

[storm narwhal]

5 billion watts

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[sinful blade]

30 series next to a x900

Makes me wanna vomit

[rancid juniper]

thats how weak nvidia makes their low tier cards

they're VERY good at it

[sinful blade]

Just make it worse than the xx60 series of the previous gen at xx50

Not on par with a cpu

[rancid juniper]

[storm narwhal]

[craggy shoal]
