Sony trying to pay back that concord debt

[unreal trail]

Sony is about to sell a lot of Switch 2's

[elfin mural]

real

[unreal trail]

Don't forget that the power cord is only 2 feet long and using an extension cord will void your warranty. Thankfully for just $40 you can buy a 4 foot long cord.

[misty sparrow]

gee, i wish i made at least 200k/year like this guy

swimming in money

LMAO

Live footage of iphone pre order day at my store

[unreal trail]

scalpers just swiped up all the slim disc drives for nothing

[worn wave]

3rd year in a row of particularly meh upgrades, I think next year will be when a lot of 12 and 13 users finally jump up

[candid anchor]

how does the 7600x3d compare to the 7900x3d for gaming? only saw two vids but 7600x3d was outperforming in most games

[opaque sedge]

bruh i just saw the ps5 pro disc drives selling out and i'm gonna say this one thing all these decades of pcmr guys crapping on console players was absolutely deserved

[elfin mural]

"console cheap"

800 euros

[rancid juniper]

you can build a decent gaming pc with that amount

man this console price actually triggers me

[opaque sedge]

then they call pcs expensive, am5 1080p build that isn't locked to 60 fps 1k

can go 1440p for 1200

[rancid juniper]

best part, you can do everything on pc.

[opaque sedge]

well 1440p with current gen parts ig

[rancid juniper]

dont have to pay for dumb online subscriptions

[opaque sedge]

and you get to select your own quality components

[rancid juniper]

yep

[opaque sedge]

guys is this a good deal?

[tranquil pebble]

and no paying extra for online

[rancid juniper]

[tranquil pebble]

youre being sarcastic I assume

[opaque sedge]

nope genuinely asking never followed the releases on gpus till two months ago

[tranquil pebble]

no that is terrible deal

Refurb but you can find brand new ones cheaper

[rancid juniper]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kDpgRK

just made this on a whim (someone here can definitely optimize it)

still cheaper than the PS5 Pro pricetag

[craggy shoal]

I'd just keep your 7900 XT

[opaque sedge]

not looking to buy lol

just like looking around to see if any deals pop up

[safe cape]

slow

[rancid juniper]

lol

[safe cape]

minimum 6800

[rancid juniper]

honestly, id still get this over the ps5 pro

i can do much more with it

[misty sparrow]

this is a good list but if it were up to me, i would pick something with an am5 chipset

it's just my personal preference

[rancid juniper]

i get that

AM4 might come to a close very soon

[misty sparrow]

don't like how intel chipsets only support one generation and the newer gens dont support the same chipset

[fair onyx]

@elfin muralI found it <3

[rancid juniper]

its annoying, guess ill be stuck with the 13600k

[fair onyx]

it was a single mod

[opaque sedge]

U really love the 12th i5 huh

Or was that someone else

[modern imp]

I'm fine with that as long as there are meaningful IO upgrades in return

[rancid juniper]

thats someone else bruh

[modern imp]

if there is no benefits I'm not okay with it

[opaque sedge]

How much does the ps5pro cost with the disk drive again?

[modern imp]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9vLk4M
it's a bit more than a ps5 pro but this is the lowest you could really go to "beat" it universally in everything besides RT

[rancid juniper]

around 770 i think

or was it 780?

[opaque sedge]

Bet

[safe cape]

@rancid juniper good list

[rancid juniper]

ok that one is pretty good

[sinful blade]

[opaque sedge]

[rancid juniper]

that legion pc looks kinda clean ngl

[sinful blade]

It’s in my gift list

[opaque sedge]

what kind of psu does it come with?

[sinful blade]

Unknown, but as far as Bacca has told me, legions usually come with a solid c tier or b tier

I can’t remember

[mighty hazel]

[opaque sedge]

The other 32 pixels either being empty or smudgy i suppose

[mighty hazel]

I think he means dlss or something like that

[misty sparrow]

I keep seeing these Legion PCs posted in tech-deals a lot

[craggy shoal]

More like developers can't develop games anymore

[mighty hazel]

Bingo

And easier to show performance improvements with frame gen

[opaque sedge]

Exactly

https://youtube.com/shorts/GVMhgowXmGA?si=UeeNUReSQBXUe2sT

…

What are they doing

Instead of making better hardware

[worthy tapir]

I see every console defender in comments saying you need to spend $3k to have an equal pc.

[rancid juniper]

so dumb

[opaque sedge]

Ok they truly deserve to get crapped on by pcmr guys

FINALLYYY

[sinful blade]

They’re usually great pcs

Don’t use proprietary parts and tend to be upgradable instantly

Nuts

[rancid juniper]

that game has terrible optimization

[opaque sedge]

wth does it use an unreleased dx13 api or smth

[craggy shoal]

This guy needs to shut up

[opaque sedge]

your feeds infected too huh

[craggy shoal]

Didn't even watch the video I just know it's straight complaints

[craggy shoal]

was lol

I ended up blocking him lol

[opaque sedge]

nah talking about gpu with a built in air freshener

[opaque sedge]

youtube should let us block shorts tbh

i mean i could delete the app

[misty sparrow]

oh nice

[deep parcel]

lol

[misty sparrow]

they're not anywhere near alienware bad no?

i don't want to make that mistake a second time

[silver sparrow]

Please, i want this so bad

I want the option to straight up put creators on a blocked list, that i am able to visibly see, and choose who is on it and off it

[craggy shoal]

I just don't use Shorts

TikTok if I want to learn something and Instagram for brainrot

[silver sparrow]

Neithe for me

[opaque sedge]

used to be the opposite once

[rancid juniper]

cant believe they fumbled

[deep parcel]

I knew from the closed tests it would fumble

[silver sparrow]

Tiktok is a solid no for me, and i don't really use any other social media, ive really only prefered youtube

[rancid juniper]

yea it was a mess

[opaque sedge]

has anyone played ghost of tsushima?

[deep parcel]

which is why I didnt preorder

[opaque sedge]

wondering how it plays on kbm considering its a pc port

[rancid juniper]

i would never preorder any game

[deep parcel]

ill get it eventually when it goes on sale in a better state maybe during christmas steam sales

[rancid juniper]

people spent over 80 on that game just to be hit with server issues for hours

[opaque sedge]

cyberpunk 2022 🙃

[deep parcel]

at least cyberpunk didnt have server issues lol

my cyberpunk experience at launch wasnt that bad

[rancid juniper]

offline game but buggy as hell

[deep parcel]

only a few gamebreaking bugs

most bugs I saw were visual

[rancid juniper]

i hate always online

hope it dies

[deep parcel]

at least TDU2 had an offline mode

you can still actually play it, just not the casino part 😭

[opaque sedge]

my gripe with the game even after only playing it at 2.0 is time gated quests just donot work at all sometimes

[rancid juniper]

lol

welp time to play this

[deep parcel]

hurry and play it

they will close the servers probably in 2 years I bet

[rancid juniper]

knowing ubisoft yea

[deep parcel]

I miss the crew 1

[rancid juniper]

😭

they killed it entirely

illegal move tbh

[deep parcel]

then revoking keys

[opaque sedge]

Bruh these console players are nuts

https://youtube.com/shorts/yhl83qioMaY?si=kXL0Wk-lDyoKNN9G

[rancid juniper]

Ye

[opaque sedge]

dammit i'll bite

getting ghost of tsushima

or maybe i should wait for it go down further

20% isnt terribly a big discount

[opaque sedge]

Guys i need help so my pc has been getting really slow wifi for some reason

Tested it on my phone and its normal

But my pc is getting below 100 mbps

[velvet summit]

it could be the lack of antennas, or a bad place for the antennas

ideally you want both your AP and antennas up high

like ceiling level

less obstructions

[opaque sedge]

Even if my router is on the bottom floor?

Still didn’t help its still extremely slow

[velvet summit]

oh

[candid anchor]

Anyone know how the 7600x3d compares to 7900x3d for gaming ?

[velvet summit]

well, the floor isnt an ideal path for RF either lmfao

[opaque sedge]

No like the speeds are strange my phone is getting almost 500mbps download speeds but my pc isn’t even getting 20

[velvet summit]

ideally, there should be 1 AP per level in a conventional detached american house

[candid anchor]

Are there multiple routers /APs ?

[velvet summit]

smack dab in the center

[velvet summit]

what's the signal strength your pc is getting?

[candid anchor]

check to make sure your pc isn’t connected to the farther one if so

[opaque sedge]

I think j found the culprit

Idk why its running steam isn’t even open

[opaque sedge]

Nope just one router

[candid anchor]

Unless you’re actively downloading something that shouldn’t be relevant

[opaque sedge]

Oh wait its working properly now

[velvet summit]

probably just a steam update then

[candid anchor]

you were probably downloading something in background , automatic update or whatever

[velvet summit]

also steam is very clearly open lmao

[opaque sedge]

I just redownloaded my mobo wifi drivers unzipped all files and ran the setup file

[opaque sedge]

After that i noticed my cpu util go up and checked task manager

[candid anchor]

am I tripping ? Is the issue with performance or network speeds lol

[opaque sedge]

No like it was strange cuz i noticed the slow speed when i was trying to download ghost of tsushima

I didn’t have anything else running

No updates nothing

[velvet summit]

it might just be your drive not keeping up with the download speed

[opaque sedge]

T500

[velvet summit]

i thought you were doing a network speedtest

[opaque sedge]

First noticed my download speeds for the game was like 10 mbps

Then i paused it

Then did the network speed test

Still slow and started troubleshooting

[velvet summit]

ahh

[craggy shoal]

Check your sys tray

[opaque sedge]

Redownloaded wifi drivers and unzipped and ran the setup file and my cpu util was up to 30%

And checked task manager

And ghost of Tsushima was downloading again but at 500mbps

[opaque sedge]

You mean taskbar?

[candid anchor]

the issue was probably just the drivers then I guess lol

[craggy shoal]

I mean yeah the sys tray is on the taskbar

[opaque sedge]

Not on mine for some reason

[velvet summit]

weird

[opaque sedge]

Maybe idk wht im looking for

[craggy shoal]

On the right of the taskbar, the up arrow, click it and Steam should be there lol

It's probably downloading and installing Ghost of Tsushima (hence the high CPU util)

[opaque sedge]

Yeah i see it

much better than what i was getting earlier lol

[craggy shoal]

Don't use Googles speed test lol

It shows a much lower number for no reason lol

[opaque sedge]

with ghost of tsushima being downloaded simultaneously

[opaque sedge]

i did the ookla one earlier when i was having issues it was showing 12 mbps 💀

[craggy shoal]

lol

Google's is weird for me (no matter which ISP I’m on or where I am)

Ran these just now

I guess the download is basically the same but the upload wtf

[opaque sedge]

upload speeds is pure address rng ngl

[dusk knot]

We're in an age where everyone's internet is so fast that you don't really have to worry about comparing

[craggy shoal]

Until you go to your grandmother's house and she's still stuck paying $90/mo for that goofy 7Mbps download speed from the late 2000s

[opaque sedge]

i think my parents might be paying that for the verizon gigabit 💀

they're broke on top

[craggy shoal]

Lolll

I’m saying though

Some people still suffer with those speeds not realizing they’re getting ripped off lol

[opaque sedge]

f looks like they're paying the standard for the area

maybe i should suggest them to get 500mbps

no one's using 1gig in the home at all

[craggy shoal]

I remember when my family was still poor and we thought 20Mbps was fast lol

Back when YouTube had "HD" next to 720p

[opaque sedge]

man i just checked other plans and they're absolutely worthless

pricewise and speedwise

and the reason 1gig is so expensive is because thats apparently the highest anyone can get in my area

🥲

f hcols

[craggy shoal]

Man forget that

I haven't been to my gf's apartment lately but I really want to see if I can get a router in her place. The Wi-Fi is kinda goofy sometimes so I’m wondering if you can use the complex's ISP with the coax that’s provided in each apartment

I would use an Ethernet router that I’ve already given her but they disabled the Ethernet ports in every apartment for "security reasons"

Bruh my ass

[opaque sedge]

yoooooo

i sure hope i dont need a psn account to play this though

[craggy shoal]

Doubt it

That would be wack

[opaque sedge]

ngl i should have checked that first before buying it

[craggy shoal]

Just make a PSN account

[opaque sedge]

and forget the password for ages to come

sure

[craggy shoal]

I get it if you live in a country that doesn't have PSN but I otherwise wouldn't complain lol

[craggy shoal]

I work in IT. Don't tell me that again 💀

[opaque sedge]

i forgot the password to my ubisoft account

[rancid juniper]

speaking of ubisoft...

[opaque sedge]

they're finally falling

[craggy shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/smg4-smg4skill-issue-skill-issue-smg4mario-smg4skill-gif-26104493

[opaque sedge]

lost millions recently too apparently

[craggy shoal]

Let them fall tbh

[candid anchor]

they provide a modem or you’re stuck using their wifi ??

[opaque sedge]

the greater they are the greater they fall

[rancid juniper]

iirc the shareholders were not pleased or smth

[opaque sedge]

alrighty gonna shower clean up my room and play ghost of tsushima

[craggy shoal]

I don't live with her. But yeah she basically has to rely on the WAP that’s somewhere in her complex's hallway. She doesn't have Ethernet access whatsoever

[opaque sedge]

cant play a masterpiece while being slobby

[opaque sedge]

bro is mad af

also going private means taking the company out of the open stock market right?

that would be a good move considering the pickle they are in

[craggy shoal]

And it's goofy too because her old complex let her use Ethernet, so I was able to put a cheap GL.iNet router in her room and that’s how she was able to get a much stronger signal

[rancid juniper]

i believe so

[craggy shoal]

Otherwise she was getting like 90 Mbps on a good day with massive latency

[rancid juniper]

steam is a private company

for example

[craggy shoal]

Yeah atp these guys are mostly capitalists rather than publishers. They'll save themselves and put themselves in the same pit they’re currently in years later

Freedom to leave the house

[opaque sedge]

Guys what should i set dynamic resolution scaling to?

Oh wait i can turn it off

[tranquil pebble]

not sure if good or bad tbh

[opaque sedge]

wth this looks hella sick

[rancid juniper]

bad thing for ubisoft, potential good news to consumers

maybe they'll soon realize that they should handle their games better

[fervent stump]

😭

[tranquil pebble]

so investors finally waking the heck up?

probably profits are plummiting, which would do that

[rancid juniper]

that and seeing their money going nowhere

😂

[opaque sedge]

Guys should i be playing ghost of tsushima in japanese?

[chrome mirage]

I changed the direction of some of the fans in my case and now it runs close to silent.

[chrome mirage]

The original language is English but I liked the Japanese dub because the main character has the same voice actor as Zoro from One Piece

[dusk knot]

Weeb?

[lone mango]

What did you do

[opaque sedge]

How does cpu frequency work? Does it go higher the more its utilized?

[lone mango]

Typically

Ultimately depends on workload

[opaque sedge]

Oh cool i recently had to reinstall drivers and noticed my 7800x3d only clocking at 3-3.5ghz at around 15-20 util and was worried cuz Adrenalin didn’t install chipset drivers in my most recent install

Also cuz i noticed online benchmarks have their clocks at max boost at a lower util

[lone mango]

Did you go on that game specifically and see if your clocks are the same?

[opaque sedge]

yup

ok wtf i just did a time spy bench and noticed this

[tranquil pebble]

least obvious bait

[opaque sedge]

Bro foretold a prophecy

[gleaming rivet]

Already at $70 counted.

Pile is not much smaller than when I started.

[craggy shoal]

bro forgot about the impulse method

Shouldn't have gone to a Coinstar lol. They'll tax you for however much you want in paper cash. Instead, go to the grocery store and go straight to the self checkout. Pick whatever candy you want. Pay for it with all of the coins. The tax is reduced from whatever Coinstar taxes down to the tax on the candy

Also proof that we don't need to pay taxes lol

[wary fjord]

deym you rich

7800x3d is better without core isolation off

[gleaming rivet]

This isn't a coinstar. This is at my bank where they don't charge a fee for members.

[wary fjord]

its proven win11 is gimping amd xD

[gleaming rivet]

Sitting at $110 and the pile hasn't gone down much

[wary fjord]

nice nice

where u got those coins

[craggy shoal]

Oh gotcha

Still like my method lol

[wary fjord]

did u pick up all coins the falls on your couch

and one day have enough to widraw them

[gleaming rivet]

Been saving them all since the 1st day of 2024.

[wary fjord]

aw

that was nice 10/10

dedication

[gleaming rivet]

I'm about to go on a small trip this weekend to see family so I figured it was time to cash in for some spending $

This thing is taking forever though for sure. Been here like 20 minutes already

Change is easy to save. I have different containers. 1 for just quarters. 1 for pennies and 1 for the nickels/dimes

[tranquil pebble]

really? any way around that?

[rancid juniper]

not fair for my AMbros out there

looks like there is a good bundle on fanatical rn

oh wow hi-fi rush and skyrim in there

[idle nexus]

@mortal grail so there's this beta BIOS for X670E Taichi that's been making me crazy trying to get stable. Thus far the best I've done is erroring out on VT3 after about 6 hours of testing. Anyway, that FCLK tho

sorry for terrible picture btw

[gleaming rivet]

Be ashamed.

[idle nexus]

the voltages that (ostensibly) are needed on this BIOS are really strange. 2200 FCLK won't POST >1.255

neither will VDD >1.5 oddly

this BIOS seems to have changed many of the impedances. ProcODT at 53.3 is what I manually set before. Usually it defaults to 40 something. Now 53.3 is default

what sucks is for the longest time, I wouldn't fail VT3, I'd just get a hard reset

if I ever get this heckin memory stable, I think I'm gonna try using Ghost-Spectre Win11 for daily since I don't want that recall crap & it seems like it's coming soon w/o option to remove it

[candid anchor]

damn since when did the 7800x3d go out of stock lmao

[gleaming rivet]

@wary fjord

[candid anchor]

wait amazon legit just restocked the 7800x3ds lmfao

[unreal trail]

pls gib game

[misty sparrow]

i'm also looking at that mystery star bundle they are doing

20 mystery keys for $14

[rancid juniper]

dont do it

not worth

[misty sparrow]

really?

why not

[rancid juniper]

literally gambling

id rather get the games i want instead of getting some rando obscure title

[worn wave]

Yeah the mystery bundles are usually garbage

[wary fjord]

owww

i found iphone weakness

one that if it got expose on it it dies xD

helium.. iphone hates helium

it just stop working if they got expose to it

https://tenor.com/view/evil-evil-laugh-evil-racoon-hehehehe-muhahaha-gif-25486258

[wary fjord]

ooo

[craggy shoal]

Better not have Jack Black in it I swear

[rancid juniper]

feeaturing jack black as cameo!

[craggy shoal]

Jack Black gonna make some goofy cameo for no reason and it's gonna ruin the whole move

Some part around 25% of the movie so you can't enjoy the rest of the move after its solid intro. I'm calling it

[rancid juniper]

its gonna get watered down, just like the first game

[craggy shoal]

Of course it's a movie about a Ubisoft game too lol

[mighty hazel]

[sinful blade]

I don’t really enjoy these games
So I’m probably not gonna watch this movie

[rancid juniper]

i enjoyed watch dogs 2

[craggy shoal]

Not really 💀 not like early 2010s Black Fridays

[mighty hazel]

30 series gpu drops had the same thing 💀

Never seen so many people get into a brawl to pay full price or higher 💀

[sinful blade]

There actually haven’t been many people who have died on Black Friday

https://blackfridaydeathcount.com/

[craggy shoal]

That's wack

[sinful blade]

Black Friday isn’t nearly as bad as literally anyone says it is
Never has been

Just a little chaos, that’s it

[lone mango]

Wasn’t there a recent update that made 7000 and 9000 faster

[lone mango]

Is it really ttue that they raise prices everywhere and drop it

[craggy shoal]

yes

lol

[wary fjord]

not eough need tao disable core isolation too

[craggy shoal]

like a month prior, your average $279.99 TV will be $379.99. And then they drop the price back down to $279.99 and call it a "Black Friday deal"

[lone mango]

Idk haven’t bought anything on black friday in a long time

[rancid juniper]

this

[lone mango]

[wary fjord]

theres a lot of tv here smart tv.. but they have 2gb ram weird.. they cost 200 bucks for 50 inch.. 4k

why they making 2gb ram tvs

😦

[craggy shoal]

They pack the most garbage specs into TVs. For me, TVs really only last two years until you have to get a new one (that's if you want the "smart TV" features). I avoid that by just getting an Amazon Firestick or just use my PS5 lol. Much cheaper than buying a whole new TV

[wary fjord]

but the reason i like smart tv because it has still antenna if u want normal tv xD

[craggy shoal]

My last TV could barely display subtitles on Plex without causes skipped frames

[mighty hazel]

High end Tv market is kinda tough if you don’t want oled

Like pwm

[wary fjord]

i dont even know if those specs are real

dts etc xD

i dont watch tv anymore but my little sister likes to watch some cartoons

i feel i can make my own smart tv xD with higher ram and cpu specs

[sinful blade]

Yes.
Often prices will just be increased the day prior, and dropped “significantly” down to its original price or slightly below.
The attention Black Friday gets now is usually from companies failing to hide these bad practices

[craggy shoal]

ngl idek the point to all of the audio stuff mentioned in TV advertisements lol

Like what even is Dolby Atmos

[sinful blade]

Better spacial audio

Not really worth the subscription it forces on pc

My rig 400s used to come with a year of it free

[rigid sinew]

are any of yall getting a tattoo for friday the 13th?

[craggy shoal]

No 💀

[rigid sinew]

why no

[sinful blade]

@rigid sinew where Newegg

[misty sparrow]

why would i get a tattoo

[rigid sinew]

friday the 13th flash ?!

[misty sparrow]

dont know what that is

[craggy shoal]

Yeah never heard of that lol

[rigid sinew]

no im not licensed to give tattoos ;/

[misty sparrow]

why is friday the 13th so big anyway

why is it so important

[rigid sinew]

SERIOUSLY?!

a lot of shops will do friday the 13th flash tattoos, its like a super cheap tattoo !

[sinful blade]

@rigid sinew I’m not either but you should get an egg tattoo

[rigid sinew]

some even do piercings

[rigid sinew]

im not that dedicated ...

[sinful blade]

You don’t pray to the Newegg website every morning at 6?

Wack

[rigid sinew]

no :/ i dont wake up until 7:30 am

[sinful blade]

I don’t wake up till 10
Bit of a lazy individual myself

whats stopping you from getting a pc?

[misty sparrow]

i thought you had a pc with a 980

[gleaming rivet]

I put my PC away in favor of my ps5.

[misty sparrow]

i was going to get one too

a pc

[gleaming rivet]

I got tired of all the extra just to play games.

[misty sparrow]

some people do have their own personal preferences

don't blame you

[gleaming rivet]

I was watching my system numbers like a hawk and it got to the point I couldn't enjoy games. Since I've been on PS5, I stopped thinking about it and I'm enjoying them to the fullest.

[misty sparrow]

i guess that sort of shows we don't really need the best specs/numbers to play games

[craggy shoal]

Y'all know the drill

[misty sparrow]

just the fun factor i guess

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-26088229

[gleaming rivet]

You are right. When I first built my PC, I wanted higher perf. So I started min/maxing what I could. It was awesome at first. Then it got tiring. It got to the point I actually stopped turning my PC on. I think I went almost 3 months without touching it.

[velvet summit]

I barely even game lmao

I wouldn't put away my PC though, mainly because it's just useful for everything

[gleaming rivet]

So far I've been doing everything on my phone that I would do on my PC.

Like my whole setup is still put together.. my PC is just unhooked and sitting in a corner. My PS5 is in it's spot atm

[velvet summit]

It's true that you could do most things on a phone, but the screen is just a bit small, even on the phones with a larger screen

And casting the screen to a larger screen has hella latency

[gleaming rivet]

Hella.

You'd think they'd figure out by now how to get latency down

[velvet summit]

Maybe if they bring back phone docking

[misty sparrow]

what pcgamers usually think of is "get a pc, get the highest end stuff for your budget, performance this, performance that"

i don't really understand much of it

especially those who upgrade frequently

i'm still using a 1060 6GB

never seen 1440p or 4K in my lifetime

all that matters is fun factor

[sinful blade]

Bills

[sinful blade]

No, I was going to, but decided against

[rigid sinew]

oop same

[lone mango]

@craggy shoal @rancid juniper

Goes hard

[sinful blade]

I had a 1080 build but sold it for rent a year or so ago
Wife has a 1660s built that I can’t use cuz it’s storage is only big enough for her games

[wary fjord]

lol that piano is already dead or its a vfx

those string in piano are so tight they will snap back on taht heat xD

[lone mango]

The original video he was playing the whole time but that was a meme I made

[rigid sinew]

im sorry to hear that 😦

[rancid juniper]

[wary fjord]

[silver sparrow]

yeah i did

now i pay 100$ a year .-.

[wary fjord]

Do u guys have any controller recs? Ghost of Tsushima key binding for some reason assume you have 7 fingers on your left hand

Pretty sure felix recommend me one once but its lost in discord chat history

[craggy shoal]

Y'all know the drill

[mortal grail]

I know what a drill looks like but I ain't seein' one

[craggy shoal]

[mortal grail]

Is that your focus 💀

[craggy shoal]

Why did this send twice wtf

[mortal grail]

Did it?

[craggy shoal]

Yes

[mortal grail]

I only see one

[craggy shoal]

Also yes (earlier)

[mortal grail]

I mean of course I'd know, I park 5 spots away in my golf at work

[mortal grail]

It's just a knick knack he has

[wary fjord]

this an hour ago

so its latest benchmark

[opaque sedge]

Felix what are your picks for pc controllers?

[mortal grail]

Like gamepads?

8bitdo, gamesir, wolverine v2 chroma (baller)

Oh god they're on V3 now

Rip, v2 was good enough imo

Oh v3 is hall effect

[opaque sedge]

Nah wtf is up with the price tag on wolverine

[mortal grail]

It's razer

It's expensive af but the shape of the controller is second to none

Wolverine v3 would be peak

But obv that's expensive af

So, 8bitdo or gamesir

All 3 options use hall effect

[wary fjord]

gaemsir ftw

theres no controller in the market right now that has 1k pooing on wireless ..

[mortal grail]

Gamesir is great sir

[wary fjord]

if they advertise it 1k pooling

its on wired mode

xD

[mortal grail]

1K is tournament regulation

[proud jackal]

I'm buying a keyboard with 8k pooing

[mortal grail]

You pooing 8k a second ?

[wary fjord]

8k xD

[proud jackal]

Yes

[wary fjord]

my pc will just freeze each tap

[proud jackal]

I preorder wooting 80he for me birthday

[mortal grail]

Will you is be pooing 8k a second on birthday ?

[deep parcel]

I need a new controller too for racing games… Xbox controllers die so quickly… stick drift so sad

Also for yakuza

[mortal grail]

Xbox controllers are made with horrible redundancy is why

The elite ones in particular

[deep parcel]

I had a regular one die in like 6 months, left stick just constant up and right stick constant up

[mortal grail]

Me and a few of my teammates worked out the average elite controller lasted 6 months back a few years ago

[deep parcel]

Yeah lol

[mortal grail]

Wow wtf the timing on that

Yes it really is 6 months

And it's random things

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

Peeling grips, buttons not working, stick drift

[sinful blade]

I usually keep my Xbox one controllers for 1-2 years

Although I’m very aggressive with it

[deep parcel]

I still have an Xbox 360 wired controller going strong

But I don’t wanna use it because I strictly only use it on the 360

Like for when I wanna play NFSMW 2005

[mortal grail]

I had one of my teammates go through 4 or 5 elite controllers in the same time I had my scuf.
My scuf still works to this day, and I stopped talking to him about 4 years ago

[sinful blade]

I just get used Xbox controllers from eBay

$25 is easily to replace

[mortal grail]

Anyone who recommends an xbox elite controller doesn't know what a good controller is

[mortal grail]

SO TRUE

[proud jackal]

Two more months till my 80he ships

Surely this will make me better in ranked matches

[dusk knot]

[north crescent]

80he easily made me the top 1 pro esports player. Get it sooner so I can finally have a worth opponent.

[wary fjord]

xD

u cant use snap tap anymore on csgo

and some games already banning it

not banning it kicking it i mean

they dont know yet if its ethical to have it or nah

[north crescent]

SOCD cleaning (snap tap) has existed for quite some time in the arcade type fighting games. Been banned from those games for a long time. So it's pretty likely to be banned from any game where the devs know about SOCD cleaning and it affects the game (Games like valorant with non-instantaneous movement arent really affected).

[proud jackal]

ill see you at the top

@rancid juniper watch this channel
https://youtube.com/@threatinteractive

[rancid juniper]

ive seen his videos

[mortal grail]

Idk if I've mentioned it enough, but I've been saying for a while UE5 is a problem, this is a developer actively demonstrating the problem

[mortal grail]

They're actually fantastic

[rancid juniper]

very detailed analysis on why UE5 usually have crappy optimization techniques

[mortal grail]

The problem may in fact not be the devs...

[rancid juniper]

yea

im definitely leaning on 50/50 here

if he can spot the problems so can the devs

[mortal grail]

True

But the devs may also not be the final call

"We want the latest graphics, we want UE5"

Might not be a decision lower developers can make

[rancid juniper]

fair enough

i have no idea what goes on internally so not much say there

[mortal grail]

Agreed

[rancid juniper]

but like, CRYENGINE EXISTS

use that

[mortal grail]

It's fascinating content though

[rancid juniper]

or idk tackle godot

[pliant berry]

man I woke up at 3am today and didn't get home until 9pm. Idk how many more days like this I can take

[mortal grail]

From now on I may even just avoid UE5

[rancid juniper]

yea

[mortal grail]

Playing with the idea in my head

[unreal trail]

what kills me is these 2D games covered in post processing filters struggling to run

[rancid juniper]

proprietary engines are slowly fading away in favor for UE5

[unreal trail]

yuck

I dont want everything to have the UE look

[rancid juniper]

heck i believe right now if you want to get a job in game development you need experience in UE5

[rancid juniper]

unfortunately this is what you're going to see for most AAA games moving forward

[unreal trail]

lets go back to the Wind Waker engine instead

[mortal grail]

Well if the industry doesn't wake up to this being the possible key factor, then that's just gonna kill it

[unreal trail]

the MvC collection just released and I love it

feeling a bit wore out on the try hard graphics pushing

[rancid juniper]

yep

[mortal grail]

Makes me sad cos epic games giving away free stuff is nice

[proud jackal]

?

[mortal grail]

I've seen devs, create whole detailed 3d environments, then transpose that into 2D as if it would have the same result

They don't do smart work, they make a solution that they can understand and boil the hardware 💀

[tranquil pebble]

sometimes this is a legit style

[mortal grail]

Yes sometimes

[hoary zodiac]

yeah but like

[mortal grail]

Not when they go overboard

[hoary zodiac]

I feel like it's more the executives not willing to find a dev experienced in 2D game development

[mortal grail]

I don't need my 2D ratchet and clank mini game looking like hogwarts legacy on steroids

[hoary zodiac]

but just recycle their existing workforce

industry crunch be like

[mortal grail]

Real

The discussion on UE is peaking my interest

I hope it gets more traction

[unreal trail]

they cant use the excuse that 3D graphics are cheaper anymore with these budgets inflating into millions of dollars

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[mortal grail]

Millions and yet look like 2016

[hoary zodiac]

every game looking like GTA V on high settings

[mortal grail]

Yeah cos ue5 have these great options to do the exact same thing with higher demand

Like the "All the cool kids do it!" option

[unreal trail]

yeah but I don't need to see pores and peach fuzz

[hoary zodiac]

how old is gta v again?

[unreal trail]

just make a decent looking character

[hoary zodiac]

it's not like it's going to be that zoomed in

do it in the cutscenes

[rancid juniper]

16x the hair detail

[hoary zodiac]

not the actual game

[rancid juniper]

16x the teeth detail

[mortal grail]

PS5 pro be like:

[hoary zodiac]

16x heat

[rancid juniper]

16x failure

[hoary zodiac]

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/dumpsterfire-flooding-fail-gif-13031064

[rancid juniper]

is that 2B2T???

[hoary zodiac]

just slap recycled code onto a framework

[mortal grail]

Each person had individual teeth so high population counts tanked even a 4090

[hoary zodiac]

I get that in stuff like web development

[mortal grail]

[unreal trail]

thousands of polygons in her butt alone

[hoary zodiac]

but not a video game

[velvet summit]

the oldest anarchy server of minecraft?!

[hoary zodiac]

I want to see games made from the ground up

[rancid juniper]

nah, my bad its 2B or not 2B

🤔

[velvet summit]

like, game engine development?

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not even asking for a brand new engine optimized for the latest hardware

just some effort put into actually trying to make the game run well

[rancid juniper]

make a versatile engine optimized for potatoes

[velvet summit]

it's what it's

[rancid juniper]

it

[hoary zodiac]

just look at minecraft

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

microsoft could add LOD at any time

[rancid juniper]

idk

[rancid juniper]

yum

[hoary zodiac]

but they don't

[unreal trail]

if Megaman Legends was programmed for utilizing a Z-Buffer, the art style is perfectly usable

[rancid juniper]

gpus when the 69million polygon car spawns in the map

💀

[hoary zodiac]

the games engines themselves aren't even the problem

it's how game studios decide to use them

[rancid juniper]

actually UE5 is a problem

[unreal trail]

but we need increased raytracing to accurately reflect the car beside me while I race past

[rancid juniper]

yea the devs are partially at fault for not knowing what goes on deep in the engine but the features behind it is taxing in a stupid way

[hoary zodiac]

I think that's the fault of the devs of the engine

[spark halo]

A tax that is paid for in de-optimization.

[rancid juniper]

Rip all gpus

dayum bruh

[hoary zodiac]

modern devs focus on adding features instead of making stuff run optimally

i hate it

[rancid juniper]

people gonna be asking why game so damn slow

"its the phone"

😂

[hoary zodiac]

yes we need features but it's using so up so much resources for no good reason

[velvet summit]

yandere sim with the ultra high poly toothbrushes

[hoary zodiac]

yandere sim is the perfect example

[velvet summit]

well

[hoary zodiac]

feature bloat with spaghetti code

features that don't even work properly

[velvet summit]

yandere sim has one of the worst coding in existence

[hoary zodiac]

coded by one very arrogant man

[rancid juniper]

yandere sim toothbrush

thing so bad the game lagged

[spark halo]

Don’t have the absolute newest gpu? Oh thats too bad minecraft block textures for you

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/tehhankie-snow-chalice-yanderedev-meme-gif-20280252

[hoary zodiac]

minecraft modders have been fixing the games for years

microsoft has no excuse

[rancid juniper]

ARE YA CODING SON???

[hoary zodiac]

but no "more microtransaction on bedrock instead of fixing java"

[spark halo]

Pffft.

I dont see that stopping most servers.

That are already established on java

[hoary zodiac]

a lot of servers do run on 1.8 still

[spark halo]

Yep

And theres a reason for that

[hoary zodiac]

which is a really good choice really

they get stability and the game runs well on older hardware

[spark halo]

No reason to update if not needed

[tranquil pebble]

dont fix whats not broken

(someone please tell this to big tech)

[hoary zodiac]

oh no

it's good to innovate

[velvet summit]

1.8 honestly isnt the best version to host servers anymore

main reason why some very large networks are still on 1.8 is because ALOT of custom code has been made for them, and it's not cost effective to recode everything for a more modern version

[hoary zodiac]

just not when the "improved" solution is worse

[spark halo]

Big tech ceos wont listen, they are more concerned with the money

[tranquil pebble]

I more meant all the constant UI changes that usually make things worse

[hoary zodiac]

oh my god

discord mobile

💀

[tranquil pebble]

[velvet summit]

discord mobile is just a webpage

[spark halo]

$700 dollars and you too can have a slightly upgraded ps5

…

[mortal grail]

[misty sparrow]

i wonder what kind of performance it's comparable to, on the nvidia end

definitely not 4070 ti though

[opaque sedge]

4070ti is the equivalent of my 7900xt right?

No shot the ps5 pro is getting that level of performance

[misty sparrow]

4070 ti is also more powerful than a 3090 i think

[opaque sedge]

Yh current gen high mid range cards outrank the 3090

[mortal grail]

3070ti-ish

[misty sparrow]

oh really?

[velvet summit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/bwASHaRFRF0?si=3ZPCDi91Ov_hnLfU

[misty sparrow]

i can get that card for $300 on ebay

[mortal grail]

In real world performance it'll be a little higher

Um yeah

Why do you think I listed a 6800 lol

I worked out "What is a 6700 gpu but 30-45% more?"

6800/7700xt was my answer

3070 ti is like, just short of that

[misty sparrow]

i don't think i was here when you listed a 6800

[mortal grail]

I had a 5600/6800 list for $705

[misty sparrow]

oh

you mind if i have a look at that?

that seems pretty good

[mortal grail]

Follow reply chain

It requires used parts but the fact that is even achievable at all shows how woeful the pro is

You can't do the same thing for PS5

It's too cheap in comparison, making PS5 the better choice

[misty sparrow]

this does look like a good list

i wish am5 was possible at a price like this

[mortal grail]

PS5 didn't have AM5 so I did a 3700x equivalent

[idle nexus]

I haven't been this annoyed/frustrated with memory OC since 12900K

or maybe 5900x...

daily memory OC sucks

[mortal grail]

Idk how you're struggling this much man

[idle nexus]

lol

[mortal grail]

Reduce ur tCAS

[misty sparrow]

yeah, it's just personal preference for me

[idle nexus]

it's the weirdest thing

[misty sparrow]

i was just thinking i'd get it if it had am5

[mortal grail]

Accept the CL32 and life will be good again

[idle nexus]

it runs for hours then without any evidence as to why, pc turns off like my PBO COs are too low or something

but PBO isn't ON

usually I'd think

okay well it worked for a long time then it borked

must be tREFI related cuz heat or something

[opaque sedge]

Makes me glad i have a 7800x3d

[mortal grail]

Check chipset or psu current idle state

Usb short

[idle nexus]

changed idle state

[mortal grail]

Usb power states

Things like that

[idle nexus]

lol you know what

I wonder if it has something to do with stupid useless Thermaltake boxes

[mortal grail]

Random shutdowns like that are chipset/agesa

So i/o

Or psu, shorts etc

[idle nexus]

it's been over 4 years since I got into PCs

& even tho I love thermaltake, their fan boxes are the only thing that can compete with EK's incompetence

I've hated these fan boxes basically for all four of those years is the point

[velvet summit]

it's been about 5 for me

a bit more since i got into pc building

[idle nexus]

wait so you think I can eliminate FCLK & maybe even memory instability as a likely cause?

let me bore you all with the shortest yet comprehensive framing of the issue here I can come up with

I will speak in powerpoint dots for the sake of tldr

[wary fjord]

same time when my build my pc xD

[mortal grail]

I think your memory is still a little unstable, but the random shutdowns yeah absolutely

I had the same random shutdown stuff with perfectly stable memory

On multiple amd systems now

[idle nexus]

(1) went to Seaworld. PC off for two days. (2) Returned. PC slow to POST. (3) Fallout4: random shutdown--blamed mods. (3) tried to fix; reinstalled windows. (4) all seemed well for 1-2 weeks then same shutdown issue. (5) reemergence of issue coincided with changed TT fanbox (that was annoying me for unrelated reasons). (6) Issue remained. (7) figured mem OC to blame so updated BIOS & ruined win11 install in attempt to fix. (8) Issue still at large. (9) ___ (10) Profit

[mortal grail]

Well, my board is being rma'd so

That random shutdown problem became disgustingly bad even at jedec

They haven't told me what it was yet but I did replicate the problem

More than 2 usb devices = pc insta shuts down

[idle nexus]

I'm still dumbfounded that not only does 6200 1:1 POST at tCL 32, but it runs hours of VT3 without incident. 6200c32@1.34v? that super low VDDQ is based on Buildzoid's findings (yes, things have gotten so bad I've resorted to looking anywhere for fixes lol) doing DR mem OC on his 7950x. He found he needed tRP looser than tRCDRD/WR for stability hence my goofy tRP timing

[mortal grail]

Ok

[idle nexus]

I cleared CMOS & played Palworld (Unreal Engine) & RE3 on RTX/ultra everything & couldn't force random shutdown which is part of why I blamed mem OC

[mortal grail]

It's 64gb tho I'd do like 1.43v and cl32

[idle nexus]

he was doing 6200c26 at 1.65

[mortal grail]

He's also BZ

[idle nexus]

with vddq 1.250 lol

[mortal grail]

He does weird things sometimes

[idle nexus]

I couldn't get POST

he swears tFAW 20 is lowest register entry

dunno why Asrock lets you set as low as like 12 lol

[mortal grail]

I thought 32 was for physical reasons

Like nothing improves when it's lower

[idle nexus]

I've always heard 32 was lowest according to JEDEC

[mortal grail]

Mmm

[idle nexus]

but also 8 was lowest on tRRD_S/L

tWR lowest is supposedly 48 & tRTP is supposedly 12 & should line up

but this is based on info I got from Micron data sheets

[mortal grail]

tfaw is influenced by other timings tho

[idle nexus]

so grab the salt shaker I suppose

[mortal grail]

Forgot which

But the physical limit of that one was why I believe 32 was the lowest

[idle nexus]

I also understood that on Intel tRDRD_sg should be tRRD_S x2 & tWRWR_sg should be tRRD_L x2

so how AMD SCLs could both do 4 didn't quite make sense to me cuz I thought SCLs were like AMD's version of tRDRD & tWRWR on Intel but I don't heckin know

re: tWR & tRTP tho, bianbao (Apex BIOS dev) once made a note in a beta BIOS changelog thing that tWR & tRTP don't have to be linked necessarily

heck I've even heard tWR can do as low as like 6 on Intel

not stable but lol

then there's tRAS

the timing that takes JEDEC's rules & shreads them entirely

XMP tRAS on an 8000 kit is usually well into triple digits lol

btw I'm not saying all this nonsense as some pathetic attempt to educate you or something. Rather, for nearly the opposite reason: in hopes you will correct any misconceptions I have lol

tRAS 128 or 34? whichever no big deal lol

[mortal grail]

My brain can't process half this rn lol

[idle nexus]

it's okay I know it's some crazy random time on the other side of the planet lol

[mortal grail]

Mb

Lol

[velvet summit]

very crazy

[idle nexus]

imagine if you had to fly from USA to Australia, stay there for like 4 days, come back to USA for like 3 days then go back to Australia

[sinful blade]

I don’t want to imagine that

There’s too many spiders

[idle nexus]

I would completely lose my sense of time

I wouldn't know if I was tired or not lol

[velvet summit]

honestly i would be fine

used to rolling shifts lmfao

well, i would feel like crap for like 2 days

each time i do such a drastic time shift

[hoary zodiac]

spiders are the least of your worries

[velvet summit]

every 2 weeks i had to shift my sleep by like 4 hours

took about a day to get used to for that

that being said, i also dont want to go to australia because of the wildlife

too much of it

i would die

[storm narwhal]

Wait till he finds a cassowary

[velvet summit]

i would like to live in a clean room for the rest of my life

[hoary zodiac]

or a plover

the birds are either chill or literal dive bombers

[velvet summit]

the enviroment is already trying to kill me with allergies

i dont need the wildlife to also try to kill me

[mortal grail]

But but

🥺

[hoary zodiac]

at least the spiders usually stay in one spot

the birds straight up attack you during nesting season

[velvet summit]

i mean

that happens here

[cursive oasis]

isnt there a spider season

[velvet summit]

the geese chase you

[cursive oasis]

or at least a time when a bunch of webs pop up

[velvet summit]

every season is spider season in my house

there are spiderwebs everywhere

there are spiderwebs in my pc case

[velvet summit]

Vsauce is a lifesaver for Australians

AAAH-

[idle nexus]

on a lighter note, I've crashed so many times that event viewer is starting to show a pattern here... TPM provisioned then TPM failed to update a secure boot variable... occasional hypervisor errors & the usual DistributedCOM crap

sorry this is too heavy if you're tired lol

[mortal grail]

God dammit another spider crawling up me today

[hoary zodiac]

I just walk into webs instead

there's like hundreds of webs in the backyard

[mortal grail]

Well now you're just asking for it m8

You never carry the trusty stick?

[hoary zodiac]

I never notice them until I actually walk into them

[mortal grail]

That's what trusty stick is for

[hoary zodiac]

we should bring canes into fashion again

[idle nexus]

I think walking into a spider web is in the top 10 most horrible human experiences

[hoary zodiac]

just not for snakes

[hoary zodiac]

normal day in australia

[idle nexus]

if that was a normal day, I'd be trying to normalize wearing a paintball mask all the time

[mortal grail]

It really happens so often here you grow out of it almost lmao

[hoary zodiac]

if you look at a tree in spring you can see thousands of webs

[deep parcel]

lol felix, just saw your pfp

[hoary zodiac]

they quite literally just spawn in

[idle nexus]

I really don't think I could ever get used to that lol

[mortal grail]

Lots of good pfp's from that one video

☠️

[idle nexus]

lol I'm glad I haven't dismantled this 12900K build

[hoary zodiac]

I want a tarantula tbh

they're cool pets

[idle nexus]

I'm pretty sure my fear of spiders stems from the extreme feelings of fear & helplessness I felt when I walked thru spider webs as a child lol

[hoary zodiac]

I don't like smaller spiders

[idle nexus]

& those were just crab spiders

they wouldn't even make the JV team in Australia

[hoary zodiac]

they sprint so fast

you can never catch them

[idle nexus]

lol yes then they hide somewhere so paranoia sets in

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

with bigger spiders it's easier to keep track of them

[idle nexus]

like did they leave to go back outside the way they came in or are they just waiting for me to let my guard down

[hoary zodiac]

with geckos I just let them be

[idle nexus]

I have no problem with lizards tbh

[hoary zodiac]

there was a gecko in my old bedroom for ages

they kill the annoying bugs so i just let them hang out

[idle nexus]

if my gf wasn't so scared of them, I'd probably let them in the house

they eat bugs
