Trout might seem simple at first, but it's all about the subtlety. The delicate, almost sweet flavor of the fish, combined with the earthy notes of the skin, creates a balance that’s anything but basic. When cooked just right, there's a gentle flakiness that carries hints of the environment it was caught in—whether it’s a fresh mountain stream or a cold river. It’s an orchestra of gentle, natural flavors that come together in harmony, offering a taste of nature in its purest form.

anyone know why whenever i play a youtube video or something on my 2nd monitor my fps drops pretty hard

@idle nexus I just got back to my PC right now. I'm in BIOS

tranquil pebble
#

it might be time for me try connecting video cards from the 90s to a modern PC and see how Windows likes it (or implodes lol)

fair onyx

I honestly don't really know what else to do to try and fix my issues. Or at least, not what next step I should take in order

#

My RGB on my aio and ram is broken and not listening to the software. I wish I didn't do an RGB build.

tranquil pebble
fair onyx
#

The iGPU will still need to copy from itself to the main DGPU, unless you plug it into the iGPU directly, but then it might not be able to run it fully

tranquil pebble
fair onyx
#

yeah, that might not always work tho, depending on the monitor

tranquil pebble
#

its at least worth trying

fair onyx
#

Yeah, fair

tranquil pebble
#

if you have an iGPU and a dGPU may as well try to use both

fair onyx
#

I try to, but in order to do so, I still need to connect to my DGPU, which means my iGPU does the work, but my DGPU still has to copy and display it, so it doesn't help much

tranquil pebble
#

I had success with that on a 4790k a long time ago

fair onyx
#

like my firefox runs on iGPU, but playing a youtube video still lowers my DGPU perf

rancid juniper
#

aint the dgpu suppose to deal with it with their decoding engine?

#

video decode or whatever

#

it shouldn't tank perf

fair onyx
#

it def does when the DGPU is heavily used

#

also, at least on my 3090, the decoding engines are ass

#

insanely inefficient compared to just using CPU. Like for streaming on discord. 1080p 60fps uses ~180 watts on my 3090, while 1440p 60 uses about 30 watts on CPU

rancid juniper
#

lmfao dayum

silver sparrow
#

i mean its a 3090, what do you expect

#

its not like it was built to be efficient

fair onyx
#

yeah, but I thought NVEC was supposed to be a good option for streaming/video decode

#

evidently not 😅

#

I just use CPU wherever I can

silver sparrow
#

thats the part they dont tell you about, yeah intel is technically like one of the top for gaming cpu's.... as long as you dont mind using like 10x the power for minimal gains over competition

fair onyx
#

Thats not at all what I am talking about, but I get what you mean

tranquil pebble
silver sparrow
#

its the best!.... at using a lot of power for a not so much amount of perf... BUT ITS ON TOP

rancid juniper
#

funny how its the opposite for me, i have to use my dgpu for videos and other idle stuff (RX 7800 XT) because it uses less watts than the cpu (13600k)

fair onyx
#

I mean, thats not even true. The 7800X3D dominates in a ton of games even compared to a cracked out 14900KS 😅

tranquil pebble
fair onyx
#

I wish I could more consistently decode video from firefox on my iGPU. But it seems like it will just use my 3090 no matter what the GPU preference is

silver sparrow
fair onyx
rancid juniper

#

its not like its a special sauce that AMD uses, its litterally just extra fast cache that makes it special

rancid juniper
#

i legit think they were rushing just to get a few points more than amd

#

bad move

fair onyx
fair onyx
#

assuming thats a troll question lol

rancid juniper
tranquil pebble
fair onyx
silver sparrow
#

Intel cant copy AMD, cause they are sending so much power into their cpu's that they would fry the cache on top, amd can do it, as long as they limit the processor a bit, but its not like it matters that much when the perf gains outweight the small amount lost

rancid juniper
#

intel throws efficiency out the window

fair onyx
#

Yeah

rancid juniper
#

who needs that anyways???

fair onyx
#

I do, thats for sure

rancid juniper
#

enters 400w ah reactor rectangle

silver sparrow
#

intel needs to get their power consumption in check before they can ever get anything close to compete with X3D TBH

rancid juniper
#

do yall think intel will make a similar large cache lineup???

fair onyx
#

if their new desktop chips are anything like Lunar Lake, they will have a huge power improvement. Lunar lake mobile chips are impressive AF

silver sparrow
rancid juniper
#

real

fair onyx
#

Intel was talking about glass substrate and fiber optic data interconnects by 2026 IIRC

silver sparrow
#

the cache is built ontop of the cpu, making cooling a bigger issue, and considering cooling is already a issue, they cant do it

#

i could probably throw a slab of cheese on a amd cpu and wouldnt have to worry about it overheating

fair onyx
#

I'm very happy with my CPU, even if it is Intel. Its not the old slow one I had, and its been great for me, so its all I need

#

that 7700k was pure suffering...

rancid juniper
#

atleast its not fx

silver sparrow
#

idk, i ran a i7 4790- wait basically the same thing as a 7700k

#

not like intel innovated much XD

rancid juniper
#

man

#

imagine a world without ryzen

#

damn...

silver sparrow
#

i forget sometimes that like 4th-7th gen had like 0 improvement and were all refreshes

#

maybe even 8th gen idk

#

i know 9th gen was somewhat cool

rancid juniper
#

same-lake

silver sparrow
#

its like wow 4th gen intel is like 10 generations old... but still is like still usable today... which is just sad

fair onyx
silver sparrow
#

10% ahead... 3 generations later....

fair onyx
silver sparrow
#

i could still game on mine

fair onyx
#

I couldn't imagine being stuck with my 7700k still... That thing was so many problems, and soooo slow

silver sparrow
#

like for example cyberpunk 2077 runs 60fps 1080p high preset

fair onyx
#

I have a 12600k now, and its been infinitely better. Its just a solid little CPU that does what I need. Is it super fast? No. But does it do what I ask of it with no issues, no stability problems, and pretty good efficiency? Yeah

silver sparrow
#

its actually beyond funny how little intel has innovated since 4th gen

fair onyx
#

and I got it for $150 brand new. Got a great deal on it

fair onyx
#

12th gen was a massive leap over 11th

deep parcel
#

10th gen was also a huge leap over 9th gen

fair onyx
#

but yeah, 12th gen was a huge deal lmao

#

across the board too. Even the mid and low range saw huge improvements

silver sparrow

#

I am REALLY glad I went 12600k over 13400

#

also, side note. Did ya'll know that Intels new celeron CPU's are faster than a 7700k now? 😭

silver sparrow
tranquil pebble
#

7 zip loves multithread

fair onyx
#

alderlake was MEAN when it came out. IIRC, it beat AMD on like all fronts for most of its cycle

#

and my bad, 7700k is not celeron, its pentium now

#

A pentium gold would clap a 7700k in gaming now... what a crazy ass world lmao

silver sparrow
#

in games though im barely even seeing much more than a 100% improvement... which for... 8 GENERATIONS later.... thats a yikes

They don’t tell me why though

Honestly... When I am sick, my mom always gets me McDonalds (Cause her mom would do the same to comfort her)

yeah, but I was meaning general core count. Now, 8 cores could even be a budget CPU

you can

i only really use it to find large files/folders though and delete it in explorer or the specific app

similar to ghosty

One old g5 mac tower. 2 mac laptops that were usable, 2 mac latops that were trash. 2 dell laptops, one dell mini pc with 4th gen intel. one dell m6800 laptop with 4th gen intel (so much I/O for a laptop) mac mini from 2014. a commodore 64. my friends keep giving me old pc's.

You can still unlock phones in the US

yeah a few years ago in canada, there are no longer any locked phones even if you buy a phone on a contract
i could buy like a pixel 8 from freedom mobile on a contract and use like a bell mobility plan on it
