The 4060 Ti is 10% faster than a 3060 Ti on a good day

ancient swift
#

Valid.

mortal grail
#

Whoever wrote that spec sheet doesn't really know hardware

ancient swift
#

Before my current pc at work I've only tested minspec

mortal grail
#

Typical dev L

ancient swift
#

Nah someone's gotta test minspec lol

mortal grail
#

Not u

#

The spec sheet

ancient swift
#

Ah true

mortal grail
#

They go 3060

#

+10% 4060

#

+120% 4080 super

ancient swift
#

Up until my Current test bench the best CPU I've had at work is the 5600g.

And that's not in a gaming PC.

mortal grail
#

Actually the jump to 4080S might be more like 2.5x

#

Insane jump

#

Oh

#

With a 5500 or 9700k btw

#

Both of which are cpu bottlenecking this gpu

ancient swift
#

No upgrades to my PCs at home until a biiiggg jump.

mortal grail
#

Also insane to me

safe cape
mortal grail
#

They rec the a750 for raster but not rt

#

A750 should be around 3060/4060 perf in rt

#

If they have drivers it should be quite relative

safe cape

I just want splitgate 2

UV?

rancid juniper
#

Under volt

craggy shoal
#

Yeah

rancid juniper
#

Heck yea

#

What's your max power now?

craggy shoal
#

But instead of offset I did adaptive in my BIOS. That guy in that video said to do "negative 100mV" so that's what I did lol

rancid juniper
#

Yea adaptive is the way to go, it doesn't lock into one voltage but goes higher when it needs to

craggy shoal
#

This is also after updating my BIOS, where I couldn't do -100mV before in offset

rancid juniper
#

So when you go idle it will use significantly less voltage

rancid juniper
craggy shoal
#

Still at 1.3V though :/ (idle)

rancid juniper
#

Huh?

#

HUH?

#

What's your power plan?

#

I suggest keeping it at balanced

#

High performance is meaningless

craggy shoal
#

That minimum is because I was using "Power saver" just bth

#

I switched it back to Balanced just for the screenshot

I just realized bruh. So Ryzen has been around for nearly a decade, but the X600 CPUs are still using 6c/12t (and same with other skus and how many cores/threads they each use)

#

bruh

#

We're really getting the same CPU every year but it just performs a little better

rancid juniper
deep parcel
#

they are a decade late tbh

#

beamng better in every way

rancid juniper
#

Because that's what they did during AMD's falloff period before ryzen

craggy shoal
#

I mean they could if they wanted to. They were originally religious to "MAWR CORES" when they first released

rancid juniper
craggy shoal
#

I feel they might pull an Intel if they decide to unlock their CPUs more and also add even more cores

rancid juniper
#

Also shame on them for not producing more ryzen 3s/athlons to the desktop market

craggy shoal
#

atp we'll all just start using ARM 💀

rancid juniper
#

Only problem with arm is definitely upgradability

craggy shoal
#

"Is ARM for GAMING GOOD in 2025?" <--- YouTube titles next year probably

craggy shoal
#

I mean unless we get a socketable version of Apple's M3 chip (more than likely some other company who would do it)

rancid juniper
#

Would be dope

#

An arm based motherboard with swappable arm chips for a specific socket

craggy shoal
#

Idk though. I'd like to see someone hack an M3 MacBook to have a GPU and run Windows just to play some games. I want to see what that CPU would do lol

rancid juniper
#

🤔

craggy shoal
#

That would be the ultimate Intel killer tbh 💀

#

Nah but it would let Intel focus on graphics a lot more

rancid juniper
#

Honestly besides Intel's CPU division fumbling at the moment, I really hope their GPU side of things gets better and extra competitive

craggy shoal
#

bruh same

rancid juniper
#

Not a lot of people are rocking an arc card, but I would love to try one soon

craggy shoal
#

Bruh I'd love to own one someday tbh

rancid juniper
#

Battlemage

craggy shoal
#

Bruh it better get good

rancid juniper
#

Does the 192bit bus scare you for battlemage's midrange?

#

😏

craggy shoal
#

ngl idk too much about busses in GPUs lol

#

But I mean yeah that feels low

rancid juniper
#

In return they offered higher vram than it's predecessor

#

8GB > 12GB

craggy shoal
#

Bruh as it should

#

12GB should be mid-level tbh

rancid juniper
#

Yep

craggy shoal

I love it when my Bazzite installation just suddenly doesn't want to go into Desktop mode 🫠

ARM is a great computer architecture with some great security features. In this video we talk about TikTag, a new attack that shows how one can use speculative execution to see the future.

can you mention a single good thing from that time?

velvet summit

she was the ceo from like, 2014-2022

#

oh to 2023

paper verge

still just as worse

velvet summit

also google may or may not have existed (well, it would have existed eventually) but without susan, google may not have existed in its current form

since it was literally started in her garage

paper verge

... what

velvet summit
#

susan has been a part of google since the founding

#

lmao

#

but became the ceo of youtube in 2014

paper verge
#

huh thats crazy

velvet summit
#

everyone knows that google started in a garage, but not as many people know that it was started in the youtube ceo's garage lmfao

though honestly if i didnt know, i would have expected it to be in like one of the founder's garages

why do you know soo much about youtube lol

i did a research project on it in hs lmfao

ah that makes sense

velvet summit
#

that was years ago though the info still is in my head

#

random youtube/google lore

#

but youtube was sold to google like, i forget how long afterwards, and then there were a few ceos prior to susan, but susan has been ceo for the longest

#

susan also had a background at another company that i forget which it was

prior to working with google

ah

she was working in marketing for intel

ok

Neither brand is your friend

elfin mural

that would've hurt my confidence in owning it

missed that intel bullet lmao

sweet phoenix
#

Who knows, next year amd cpus might have a worse issue than 13th/14th (doubtful, but it gets the point across)

#

My next cpu is certainly going to be amd, but I would buy intel if it were better value down the line

elfin mural

yeah

craggy shoal

craggy shoal

Yeah that's true because you don't need a 4090 for Roblox lol

velvet summit

if it were just for roblox, even a 4070 would be silly

though it isnt, so the 4080s made a bit more sense

elfin mural

i mean

even a 4060 feels redundant for roblox

I probably did (maybe I didn't) but just in case, what was it?

all we do in this server is help figure out ways to solve problems, and point people towards products that make sense and/or fit their needs properly without much excess waste

I will never tell someone to buy something

I'll tell them the downsides, up sides, where they're wasting money

Not like it affects my bank account or my computer

idle nexus
#

heck ig today I'll try to finally put this 10700KF to use as a Nextcloud server

#

well maybe--since I have no idea what I'm doing lol

velvet summit
#

what if you used truenas instead or smth idk

#

or unraid

idle nexus
#

lol these are all good ideas

#

I think

#

cuz I dunno anything ngl

#

my tentative goal is to become my own OneDrive

velvet summit
#

hmm

idle nexus
#

so OneDrive doesn't have to

nocturne flicker
#

ggoodDrive

craggy shoal
#

I run Nextcloud and I love it

idle nexus
#

& I don't have to give OneDrive $7/month for 2TB

velvet summit
#

why do ice cream trucks have the worst speakers in existence

idle nexus
#

& best of all, I can send it back to the hell it came from on every device I use lol

craggy shoal
#

Nextcloud can be expensive but I mean it pays for itself if you put other stuff on that same server as Nextcloud if you're building a whole new system

idle nexus
#

well rn I have a 10700KF with a 500gb NVMe, two 250gb SSDs, & a 2TB HDD that's a blank slate lol

craggy shoal
#

It's also more private

velvet summit
#

could run it in a docker container on like, unraid or smth idk

fervent stump
#

Is Facebook marketplace a good place to buy computer parts or does it just depend on the area you’re in?

velvet summit
#

only buy local from fb marketplace

fervent stump
#

I don’t think I live in an area with a lot of people selling good computer parts

velvet summit
#

also it's fine, though deals may not always be the greatest

idle nexus
#

ebay prices are hit or miss but I'd go as far as saying that ebay is very buyer-friendly

#

btw here's another idea

velvet summit
#

robbery

idle nexus
#

I could give up on the 10700KF & instead run G7400 with the same storage setup--I think I could even throw a 1TB NVMe or at least another 500gb

#

the idea being that--at least I'd think?--it would be much more power efficient

velvet summit
#

it probably will be?

idle nexus
#

I mean G7400 is a dual core lol

#

then again my G7400 is a rare gem believe it or not because it supports AVX512

#

ah embed fail... we meet again

#

oh wait jumped the gun

isn't CUDA gonna be like open-source or something similar nvm I dunno what I'm talking about

velvet summit

somebody/some group of people made some open source like translation layer or smth like that

and also you guys realize animators don't really have all their stuff saved on their computer

velvet summit

so that amd gpus could use cuda as well

paper verge
#

its the same for ml

fervent stump
#

What about if you’re gonna have like 10 apps open at once because sometimes I forget to close stuff

idle nexus
#

that's RAM

sinful blade

idle nexus

& kinda storage since paging file

velvet summit
sinful blade
#

Gaming

idle nexus
#

or if you're like me, you set Windows to lock pages in memory & a bunch of people on hardware unboxed discord tell you that you're borking Windows

velvet summit
#

though it's smarter to not store things in your main devices because those are the most likely to experience data loss from like, ransomware

paper verge
#

lock pages in memory?

idle nexus
#

yes & disable memory decompression

#

cuz CPU needs the info yesterday hurry up lol

nocturne flicker

Yes. L cache

idle nexus
#

cache

#

hence why X3D whoops that uh butt

paper verge
#

how much mem do you use on idle?

fervent stump
#

Meow

nocturne flicker
#

It is why X3D isn't as impacted by ram speeds as some cpus

idle nexus
#

this is with Discord, Vortex mod manager, 6 tabs, & calculator open

#

& HWiNFO in the background

#

it still pages stuff but probably OS-related

#

I was gonna manually set no paging file but Windows starts crying & says I might not get event logs

#

so we compromised ig

#

so is TrueNAS an OS? ig I should read it hold on

paper verge
#

oh i get it

#

so linux does paging on swap right?

fervent stump
#

People said for gaming get 32gb but what if I wanna also do other things too they still said to get 32gb

I believe so ya

#

ah ok i was kinda like wtf are you talking about

idle nexus
#

cuz it makes almost no sense in terms of price

fervent stump
#

Or something with making or helping with games

idle nexus
#

lol the thing where it moves stuff from RAM to NVMe to let more RAM be available for other stuff

paper verge
#

you do not ned 48/64 for coding

idle nexus
#

gotta find a nice balance between memory speed and memory capacity

paper verge
#

i used to code for 5 years on a 4gb laptop lol

idle nexus
#

I feel like that statement made more sense with DDR4

now it's like get Hynix & only Hynix

Wouldn't it make more sense to get Epyc soon if not already? iirc Epyc is starting to overlap TR more?

like high end TR & low end Epyc... are the prices that different at this point? Doesn't Epyc support more memory lanes & what not

velvet summit

I suppose I dunno enough about this to ask these questions lol

maybe if you rewrite the whole game you could fix it

there's a $450 Epyc CPU?

I've even almost tempted myself to flip my only horizontal monitor upside down just so it's easier to reach the ports (logo would be upside down but idc)

fervent stump
#

Also I’d have the vertical one on the left

devout forum
#

I can see a lot of uses for two screens
But it'd take me effort to use three (outside of simracing)

elfin mural
#

for simracing, uw would do better

#

the monitor borders annoy the heck outta me

#

so i can't absolutely combine different monitors into one large view

fervent stump

Just have YT or Netflix on one, games on the main one and discord on the vertical one that’s what I’d do at once

I had two 27" in portrait with 43" in the middle & tried to span them. the side monitors are 1440p & center is 4k so it never lined up right so I gave up

devout forum

My ideal screen setup is the sideways T

idle nexus
#

how does my Z590 Unify-X have a BIOS update that came out like 3 days ago lol

craggy shoal
#

I would only do superultrawide if there was software that came with the monitor to let you customize the aspect ratios (like turning it into two 16:9 monitors instead of using 32:9 all the time, and maybe doing 16:9 in the center and then two 8:9 on the side)

can I get rid of Recycle bin? lol

How can you access recycle bin without the desktop icon

eh disk cleanup or something?

ccd latency

craggy shoal

Oh of course

elfin mural

zen 4 has 8 core CCDs

adding above 8 cores would force you to run multiple CCDs

you will see noticeable gaming perf loss

in the form of overall smootbness

Okay so then what about something like a 7900X or 7950X?

same thing

there's no getting around physical distance

Do you think the 9800x3d would be the next best for gaming or would the 9950x3d be the best for gaming

elfin mural
#

9800x3d

#

because zen 5 still doesn't have 16 core ccd config

#

epyc gets that tho

#

because obviously servers

fervent stump
elfin mural
#

i'd expect 20%

craggy shoal
#

In performance? Probably not

fervent stump
#

Oh wait I mean price

elfin mural
#

9700x is already neck and neck with 7800x3d in games

#

stock vs stock

and with pbo the 9700x basically closes that gap

that's despite having much less l3 cache

9800x3d and 5080S sounds pretty nice

It is a direct drive wheel, which means the motor in the base that gives you the force feedback is directly attached to the column

The logitech is using literally 20 year old technology that has gears that give feedback

You will hear clunking and banging from the gears and I think it gets worse over time

Alright I’ll look to see the moza r3

DD is quieter than belt and gear wheels while providing more nuanced and fine feedback than both

The cammus c5 is xi's finest chinesium but at the same time it does show how cheaply you can package a dd wheel

Its actually cheaper than a t300rs and that wheel is a decade old

@fervent stump another dd pro is that they typically smaller than the logitech and thrustmasters. a pro moza has is how easy it is to mount the wheel and the quick disconnect

Bruh if I could get a Moza wheel and have it work with my Ras1ution that would be soooo perfect

you can mount it to your desk so easily because it is small and uses normal clamps

you definitely feel the gears
