It loads up in under 7 seconds

"gen 4 speeds" apparently

Smh

[ripe meadow]

Would the SN580 be a better option? It’s around $5 more expensive

[mortal grail]

Not really

580 is good but, not standout better

[ripe meadow]

Got it

[craggy shoal]

Okay I thought I was the only one who once had a super fast SATA SSD lol. Don't know why (maybe DRAM chip?) but mine was a SATA M.2 in an Asus laptop. Was super good until the RAM decided it was time to cause instability (easy fix [I think] but I just didn't care to repair this laptop)

[mortal grail]

Mine's dramless

[craggy shoal]

oh that's interesting

[mortal grail]

It's also suffered unstable ram and funny gpu bsods

Still fast 💀

It's survived 5 platform changes

[craggy shoal]

I think that's the same exact issue on my Asus laptop 💀

goofy ahh VivoBook from 2019(?)

[mortal grail]

Storage choice really doesn't matter

It might be faster on a gen 4, idc tbh

7 seconds is enough for a deep breath

If I can't wait that long I have bigger issues than goofy ah slow ssd

The parity difference to real world tasks is basically nothing unless you do chia mining or large video file edits

4K+ raw takes that ssd speed and actually uses it unlike anything else you could really consider

Streaming can do the inverse, encoding can be similarly heavy but only if you choose insane settings that aren't logical sense

So really if you aren't working with a blackmagic cinema camera then it doesn't matter if it's gen 3, 4 or 5, or for most even sata

Fal has a great few samples of real world testing for this, even when directstorage is involved the difference is a couple seconds at most

If you aren't trying to win something like the fortnite world championships those tiny things aren't worth $200, that's what those champs get sponsors for

So I’ve gone with the MP44L as a secondary drive. Thanks a lot

[craggy shoal]

What's your primary drive?

[mortal grail]

Could do mp44l for main drive honestly

The "Up to xxx...MB/s" marketing they do has barely any real world effects on a windows drive

[craggy shoal]

bruh fr

price per GB and reliability for me

[mortal grail]

Also more that things like dramless are having less and less impact as well

Pcie gen 5 are for the ridiculously data hungry few that would be moving data on par with like server work

The gains over even gen 3 are barely noticeable even in normal tasks

[elfin mural]

i got a gen 4 dramless for ssd

boot i mean

[wary fjord]

Dreamless for boot? Like main os?

I only have guts to use it as game drive xD

[elfin mural]

yes

it's serving me perfectly fine

[wary fjord]

XD u are brave

Must be nice

[craggy shoal]

I mean SATA isn't that slow lol

It's just hard drives that are slow

is the Phanteks M25 considered good?

I'm seeking the technically inclined here

Would you prefer a single large (SE-206-XT or equivalent) or a dual midsize (SE-226-XT or equivalent) aircooler for AM5 non-X3D?

they use the same exact heatpipes and fans, so the dual vs single is the only difference I know of

[paper verge]

HAHA WHATTT

[devout forum]

206-XT

226-XT

Both use six 6mm heatpipes (and as far as I can tell, the same thickness and spacing fins)

large single tower or dual tower?

yea amd is doing well

cant say much about zen5 but the rest has been pretty solid

[rancid juniper]

[dusk knot]

I like my lens flare

[opaque sedge]

Fr having their tongue amputated would be a more fitting punishment

Guys i think i’ve been playing too much elden ring

Its warping my mind

[dusk knot]

Well uuugh...that's very extreme

[rancid juniper]

i mean its one of those processing effects that doesn't bother me much

motion blur is 50/50

some games are good with it

others not so much

[paper verge]

i wonder what happend to that one guy that would come here post their builds flat out reject other peoples opinions about them and never got a build

[rancid juniper]

did this guy in particular likes a certain company?

[opaque sedge]

Ur right cuz if that happened it would only leave writing as one of the few forms of communication for him thus making him even more annoying

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

Jesus that too

[dusk knot]

the one that loved white and rgb

[opaque sedge]

I should keep quiet now…

[opaque sedge]

The strix obsessed one?

[paper verge]

yes that one

i was willing to bet my whole life that they would never get a pc

[lone mango]

Who what happened where

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure that dude was expecting the 4090 prices to go down during the time for 50 series oh how well that aged

[rancid juniper]

i think their name was Daniela

[lone mango]

Ah yes

The stereotypical gamer girl

[paper verge]

child i would say

[lone mango]

[paper verge]

doubt them being above 15

[gleaming sedge]

wow i wish 1080 used prices were lower

[paper verge]

man i'll never forget the time me and 2 other guys sent her pc part lists and the next day they still posted their same build 😂

[rancid juniper]

anything less and you'll be seeing used mining cards

[gleaming sedge]

im fine with mining card

[rancid juniper]

no you're not

trust me they are not good

mining cards have crazy hardware limits

[gleaming sedge]

im not gaming on it, its for a astro computer that will spend most its life outside so i want a cheap gpu for it

[rancid juniper]

iirc the GTX 1080 mining card P104 or whatever uses PCIe 1.0 x4

thats wack

[thorn quartz]

Now that 13/14th intel problem is "fixed" is it a good time to upgrade my cpu?

[rancid juniper]

just wait for core ultra to come out

or 9000x3d

[thorn quartz]

I would have to upgrade my mobo

[rancid juniper]

LGA1700 upgrade path isn't worth it... but i wont stop you if you need more cores

[sinful blade]

7800x3d

[gleaming sedge]

yea just want something like 50 or less ideally since i dont make enough to justify buying a 1080 for 100

[sinful blade]

No reason to get anything else for gaming when that just completely demolished everything

[thorn quartz]

I was thinking something like 13600k because I don't think I could afford a mobo + cpu replacement

[sinful blade]

You got a microcenter near you?

[rancid juniper]

a 13600k seems fine ig whats your current cpu?

[thorn quartz]

I also use my pc for other tasks like machine learning training

[thorn quartz]

12100F, the 4 cores aren't doing the work anymore, outside of gaming they seem to struggle a lot.

[nocturne flicker]

Ah yes. Unobtainium

[rancid juniper]

dang thats kinda low

[rancid juniper]

12100f struggling?

[gleaming sedge]

nah thats what old cards should be

[rancid juniper]

and i thought the pentium g7400 was bad

[thorn quartz]

nope, i'm not from the US or canada

[lone mango]

I think you gotta save up for longer dawg

Not worth the risk

[gleaming sedge]

i have the money but i dont want to put 100 dollar gpu in a computer that goes outside for it risk to get ruined

[thorn quartz]

It's not that bad, but I can't play with 10 chrome tabs + vs code open or my game will lag like crazy

[lone mango]

Maybe you can find one for cheaper on marketplace

[paper verge]

you'

[rancid juniper]

how much ram you got lol

[thorn quartz]

16

[paper verge]

re gonna put a gpu outside?

[rancid juniper]

also why you playing games with that many tabs open?

not trying to judge

but...

[paper verge]

vscode doesnt take any ram

its not like its intelijj

[lone mango]

Bro I have like 3 firefox instances open

[thorn quartz]

im lazy to just ctrl shift + t every time I close everything

[rancid juniper]

i have 15

only 3 tabs open tho

[lone mango]

Oh I mean windows

My bad

First one has tons of tabs

[rancid juniper]

lel

honestly id say endure and save up

you want a meaningful upgrade here

are you running on DDR4/DDR5?

[lone mango]

Do you have a laptop

[thorn quartz]

well... maybe next year it'll be

[nocturne flicker]

Bookmarks exist for a reason 😐

[lone mango]

You can keep some things on the laptop

[thorn quartz]

bc I really want to upgrade my gpu too, these 6vram aint nothing

[lone mango]

When I had less ram I ran my minecraft server on my laptop

[paper verge]

ew who actually uses bookmarks

[nocturne flicker]

I do

Frequently

[paper verge]

i had a whole list of organized bookmarks for coding and stuff i cant recall a single time i used it

[lone mango]

I used to but stopped

[paper verge]

waste of time imo

[thorn quartz]

me too

[gleaming sedge]

a entire computer but yes

[paper verge]

what does the unlocked mean?

[lone mango]

Overclockable

[rancid juniper]

you can overclock

[paper verge]

you cant oc some cpus?

wth

[lone mango]

Intel moment

[rancid juniper]

always has been

[lone mango]

Been like that forever

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

any non-k intel cpu is not overclockable

[velvet summit]

only k series is overclockable on intel's side

[nocturne flicker]

Intel has a ton of skus at different price points

K is more expensive

[paper verge]

oh i forgot

its been a really long time since ive looked at intel cpus lol

[rancid juniper]

i guess going from an i3-12100 to i7-13700/k is not too bad of a jump

[nocturne flicker]

F means no igpu so cheaper

[rancid juniper]

thats if you dont want to change board

[paper verge]

my igpu has saved my life alot of times

wouldnt see why anyone would get a f

[rancid juniper]

same here

[nocturne flicker]

Budget constraints

[paper verge]

yeah but its like 20 bucks

isnt it?

[rancid juniper]

i'd get any cpu that has an igpu

no questions asked

[velvet summit]

f series apparently can clock higher or smth, at least on older cpus? im not 100% sure

but i would much rather have an igpu

[north crescent]

Utilize workspace/container/splitview plugins so you only usually need one instance open, reduce RAM usage

[rancid juniper]

if for whatever reason my gpu gets faulty, atleast i can still use my pc

lol

[nocturne flicker]

20 bucks can determine if you can afford a better case, psu and etc...

[velvet summit]

you dont need a case though

[paper verge]

20 bucks is also an hour at macdonalds but yeah sure

[velvet summit]

an hour at mcdonalds?

you have to pay to go to mcdonalds?

[paper verge]

hour of working at macdeez

[thorn quartz]

Honestly just bc I already had my gpu bought and I wanted to spare the 30$ extra

[velvet summit]

oh

[rancid juniper]

how much you wanna spend on a new cpu?

[velvet summit]

where do you live where mcdonalds is paying more than minimum wage

[lone mango]

[north crescent]

First you gotta rent parking, now you gotta rent tables

[velvet summit]

real

[nocturne flicker]

California is probably the only place that has $20 for fast food joints

[velvet summit]

damn

[thorn quartz]

my budget is 200$ because I order everything from amazon and anything above that pays importation taxes

[velvet summit]

higher than here as well

[rancid juniper]

dang no 13700 for you

[paper verge]

california

[nocturne flicker]

Here in a state with no minimum wage law and as such defaults to federal, McDonalds pays about 10-11

[thorn quartz]

I hate living in a 3rd world country

[rancid juniper]

oh

damn

[velvet summit]

how much is cost of living though

is that pay even half of what cost of living would be

[nocturne flicker]

Apartments start at 950 for a studio

Have fun

[velvet summit]

i mean, cheaper than cali by a little bit

but cali also has double the wage

for fast food

[gleaming sedge]

i need a igpu since my gpu cant run 5 monitors

[nocturne flicker]

Rent a house for 1.4k

[velvet summit]

you gotta have like 3 or 4 roommates to actually make any money

[paper verge]

its among the most expensive states so

[thorn quartz]

just for comparison, a $950 rent in my country gets you a penthouse

[paper verge]

how much do the guys in nyc make?

im guessing they get 20 aswell

[north crescent]

All in one room as well, private rooms cost too much ||/s||

[velvet summit]

quadruple bunk bed

[nocturne flicker]

The city and on the island the minimum wage is 16

The rest of the state is 15

[gleaming sedge]

ours is 10.33

[velvet summit]

one dollar

[paper verge]

ngl atleast its better than the middle east

[nocturne flicker]

The actual cost of living in rural parts of NY are also just about the same as here

[paper verge]

the country where i was born the monthy av salary was 200 cad

in canada its 5k ish

[nocturne flicker]

Except the houses are 1/4th the price

[thorn quartz]

do we live in the same country?

here minimum wage is like $250

[paper verge]

idk i used to live in irna

[sweet phoenix]

then it's fine

[nocturne flicker]

Back in 2018, we sold our three bedroom, two full bath home with about 3/4 of an acre of land, a basement and an added on two stall garage in northern NY for $150k. A house like that at the time would've been about 300-400k here and the wages are usually about a little under half of NY's

That house in NY now doesn't even breach 280k in estimates after the house price explosion

[drowsy ravine]

can someone reccommand me a laptop below in the 1k buget good for gaming and work .

[oak gale]

do earcups affect sound quality

i changed my hyperx's earcup from the normal one to the spare one with a cloth texture (idk what its called)

it feels like all sounds are dimmer

[rancid juniper]

i see this

[velvet summit]

get a laptop for work, and a desktop for gaming tbh

unless your work requires a more beefy devlice

[sinful blade]

You can get both for the same price as that MSI laptop
A solid $200 work laptop and a $700 pc

Well that's cool but which would be better (they even cost the same 💀)

[sweet phoenix]

Oh

The dual tower

Dual tower always better than a single tower

It really depends on the degree they go for. Some degrees are extremely oversaturated right now because common thought for 20 or so years was to get a specific degree and you'll get a job guaranteed

anything you give to such a broad audience where so many stupid exist (humans) is gonna be dumb

ai is either based on the information given by a select few in that case it lacks quantity
or a huge selection in that case it lacks quality

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry, no domes. Just on limited diets for a period due to a period of crop failures due to shifting growing seasons, growing conditions and a swath of new pests in places without them, probably an increase in water prices due to gradual decline in groundwater and surface freshwater that has to be substituted with actively purified and desalinated water and an even worse housing crisis as coasts gradually sink below rising water levels

Sadly no Dome Depot in our future for now

Same with paper bags, whole generation loved having something that wasn't a paper bag breaking, and the product went global

Plastic bags became the norm, then the world wanted to go back

Well, western world anyway

[pliant berry]

those can get disgusting over time

[mortal grail]

Even with washing?

[pliant berry]

well the problem is they are not very easy to clean thoroughly

[mortal grail]

Lol

Need one of those non collapsible ones maybe

Rinse well after use

[pliant berry]

I have a few that are a copper color. not sure if it's actually copper or what

lol

[mortal grail]

Tarnish?

[pliant berry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mortal grail]

Hmmmge

[pliant berry]

omg maybe i should buy now

[mortal grail]

I would've picked stainless steel but copper is passable

[pliant berry]

yo wait z9 is only 3800usd used. I would almost consider that if i had more lenses

[idle nexus]

ready as I'm gonna be ig lol

[dusk knot]

Me in a few days

[dusk knot]

Great.

[idle nexus]

does running LLC at level 1 really matter if I can't get over 68C anyway? lol

it maxes out at like 1.192 vCore under load

[idle nexus]

copper tarnish sucks. I already have to clean all the tubing in my computer. I need to figure out a way to coat it or something. btw Fitz Polish on copper is amazing

[sinful blade]

@mortal grail customer wants a $250 gaming beast he can play cyberpunk on
Told him to let me know when he wakes up out of his dream

[dusk knot]

😂

He forgot a zero

[idle nexus]

used PS5 ig

[pliant berry]

well the steam deck can technically run cp as well

[idle nexus]

well LLC level 1 (flat) just took .002 seconds off my best ycruncher score

hashtagworthit

[dusk knot]

Well the guy wanted a gaming beast so Max settings

[idle nexus]

ask if she or is is okay playing at 800x600

[idle nexus]

it's already all rainy & crappy here. I haven't checked latest forecast but don't they issue them at 5pm?

[idle nexus]

fine fine maybe 1024x768

[sinful blade]

I recommended saving up, actually

In reality, I told them the cheapest I could get cyberpunk for them at 1080p would be $750(with a build fee+shipping)

[pliant berry]

what the heck anime is this from. it keeps coming up in my feed and i swear it is in a anime https://i.imgur.com/XzchB7V.png

[idle nexus]

lol what's that setup look like?

[idle nexus]

AnIme...?

[pliant berry]

ye its a song

i didn't feel like finding a link to the actual song xD

[idle nexus]

I meant to emphasize the A & the I but didn't do so clearly enough ig lol

[sinful blade]

Used 6700xt, 5600, 32GB ram, basic mobo w/o wifi/bt, 1TB nvme

[idle nexus]

speaking of AI

[dusk knot]

From my area it's going to be 6:00 p.m.

[idle nexus]

oh I thought it was 5pm EST. You're not EST? lol

[pliant berry]

darn you are your copilot

[dusk knot]

There's only est in Florida

[idle nexus]

lol actually part of the panhandle is an hour behind

uh what's the heckin name of that city there uh

[dusk knot]

I was thinking of that but I wasn't sure

[idle nexus]

where UWF is

Pensacola

[dusk knot]

I don't know much about my cities in the state

[sinful blade]

Pennsylvania supremacy

(But not the racist parts)

[idle nexus]

with 67 counties, it's hard to keep up

🤯

[dusk knot]

Am in Broward

[sinful blade]

Pennsylvania has the best possible geographic positioning

Major cities on the east coast are within 1-6 hour drive, no volcanoes, only have to worry about the rare hurricane, no tornadoes, most rivers have levies, and it’s just a lot of forests

[idle nexus]

am in same

[dusk knot]

You got to be kidding me

💀

[idle nexus]

do you ever do Gettysburg reenactments?

[sinful blade]

Never

People around Gettysburg are horribly racist

[idle nexus]

I had to do a project on the battle of Gettysburg & now I'll never forget that it was on July 1-3 1863

talk about a marketable skill right there

delidded X3D is so stupid

like all I can do is sit here helplessly looking at the 20C of thermal headroom I can't take advantage of

then I look at Scalar set to Auto & wonder

couple that with my motherboard randomly deciding to lock PMIC on my 2x16gb kit to 1.43 VDD/Q max

cries in tCL 38

[chrome mirage]

I think Warframe will be my 3rd game to hit 100 hours on steam

It's only at 17 hours right now but I'm pretty hooked on it and there's a ton of content

[sinful blade]

Just wait till you have to wait for things

[pliant berry]

do I just need more ram?

[sinful blade]

Yes

[pliant berry]

I feel like usage lately has been very high on a lot of my devices, what the heck

[idle nexus]

I wonder if my 7200 kit that's missing a cap would run

heckin PMIC lock dammit

why is this a filter option for RAM? lol

[pliant berry]

because 3v ram

oh apparently some older ddr modules used closer to 3v

[idle nexus]

jeez https://www.techpowerup.com/327315/intels-flagship-128-core-xeon-6980p-processor-sets-record-usd-17-800-flagship-price

[misty sparrow]

I wonder why Call of Duty has not touched anything in the 1910s yet

but yes, antarctic warfare is a good plot for late 21st century

[paper verge]

wth interesting happend then

[misty sparrow]

the first world war

[paper verge]

cod ww1

[idle nexus]

World War 1 probably isn't very exciting for gaming tbh

most of it was trench warfare

So Arrow Lake is gonna launch w/o CAMM2? heck https://www.techpowerup.com/327348/asrock-intel-z890-motherboard-series-pictured-oc-formula-taichi-pg-nova-steel-legend

[dusk knot]

The future is so much more interesting

[idle nexus]

until it becomes drones fighting drones lol

[dusk knot]

Snooze fest

Huh. I guess I have a good idea for a book

[velvet summit]

Amogus

[idle nexus]

have CoPilot write it for you

I still wanna know

if CoPilot writes a book for you; whateverAI makes a pretty picture based on your prompts; or whateverAI makes a song based on your prompts, who owns it?

[icy ore]

Good question

Probably them. Likely in t&s

[idle nexus]

like imagine you copy & paste the book to a word document then write by [person]

then sell it

& make $100 million dollars or something cuz it's like next Harry Potter or something

could they sue you for stealing their intellectual property? lol

[velvet summit]

How would they detect

[idle nexus]

lol they probably have access to the info of you using their LLM

[dusk knot]

Oh, instead of the rich people being on the moon or a space station, they would be living on the prominent land in those green zones

[idle nexus]

but they didn't really generate anything like wth

it's not like you could write a $100 million book & the company who makes the pen you used could say, "hey that's ours"

[dusk knot]

Hahahah

[idle nexus]

or Microsoft Word could claim its theirs because you wrote it there

I mean, even if you discussed it at length with someone who helped edit or even suggested storyline, I don't think they really have any claim to it either

like if I said, "I have an idea for a great invention" & then proceeded to explain my invention

then someone here read it & actually built it

[dusk knot]

True

[idle nexus]

I might've had the idea but I didn't actually make it happen so I can't claim part ownership

[dusk knot]

Can't trust no one here

[idle nexus]

lol

[velvet summit]

Well

Rather

Whoever gets to the patent office and gets the patent first will claim ownership

In the case of an invention

[dusk knot]

Oof

[velvet summit]

In case of a book, idk how that would be done, though it's somewhat difficult to make the exact same book

[dusk knot]

Wow! I feel like we're going to have a problem soon

[nocturne flicker]

Battlefield did it and it was probably the best game they put out in recent years

There are also a couple of shooters set in WW1. Not AAA ones though

[gilded kraken]

its not a very touched on era, and very niche

personally I find WW1-2 era is pretty played out and boring now

it was done to death from ps1-3 eras

[deep parcel]

battlefield 1 was extremely fun

[nocturne flicker]

I would like a stealth, WW2 Resistance game that isn't trash

[dusk knot]

Maybe an era similar to the Vietnam war...or Korean?

[nocturne flicker]

Play as a partisan sabotaging the German war effort and smuggling Jews out of Europe

[gilded kraken]

personally vietnam/cold war. 90's eras havent been touched on enough

specially actual storylines and not just pvp games

wasnt there already a french resistance game

where you litterally sabotaged germany stealthily

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc it wasn't that good

[gilded kraken]

I mean its a ultra niche interest group

doubt many "AAA" studios would touch it

[nocturne flicker]

[viral heron]

i didnt want to wait for deliver on the keychron keyboard so i bought this
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/certified-refurbished/CH-911D01A-NA-RF/k60-pro-tkl-rgb-tenkeyless-optical-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-corsair-opx-switch-na-rf?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Refurbished&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6oi4BhD1ARIsAL6pox1SmeoaL3B1mOjhFZVDtv5h3ZnGHQKFxS2JM4-2L9Z5H-VNML3slDYaAjUQEALw_wcB

might be the worst keyboard in existance

the keys get activated if you breathe on the keybooard

[sinful blade]

Keyboard embed

[craggy shoal]

I hope you regret your purchase and that your pillow makes you sweat tonight as your having the worst nightmares of your life after making this purchase

(lol)

[viral heron]

im just gonna return it

its actually horrendous lol

[round glade]

talk tauh recommended this

[rancid juniper]

dang this game is pretty intensive (1440p max - native res - rt off)

[sinful blade]

The cynosia is better than that even

(I have one and it still sucks, but it’s something)

[viral heron]

is there any to change the sensitivity of the keys'

they literally activate if i rest my finger on it lol

[sinful blade]

Maybe with synapse

[icy ore]

[viral heron]

do u have any suggestions for a similar keyboard to this just not extremely sensitive

i dont wanna get the keychron cuz the 2 diff colors throw me off

[craggy shoal]

This guy really pinged me for keyboard suggestions and then said "I don't want Keychron" this guy 💀💀💀

[pliant berry]

that is usually due to actuation point

[tranquil pebble]

imagine it 4k max with RT on

[rancid juniper]

yikes...

rip gpu

this is FSR 3.0 quality + FG (had to enable through config file)

[tranquil pebble]

CS2 updating every day for a few days lol

good thing I only use it for GMod mounting

[sinful blade]

Get a different keychron then

Or just get key caps

[clear mulch]

How do you get that nice overlay for the stats it’s too beautiful and detailed I want it please

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/frHIW0kyb4s?si=YuaHD93I1_MWeFwy

[clear mulch]

Wait that’s in msi burner no freaking way I only have the noob basic enabled lol thank you

[misty sparrow]

Lmk if silent hill 2 remake is good

I wanted to play the original but it isn’t on GOG

[clear mulch]

Is it a horror game

Like resident evil

[rancid juniper]

alr

[rancid juniper]

it is

[clear mulch]

Not sure if I should say it but maybe it’s cracked somewhere

[rancid juniper]

im not really good with horror games but ill try my best lmfao

[misty sparrow]

is the games controls bad on mouse and keyboard by the way

[clear mulch]

Me too I remember playing resident evil 4 with cheats on when I got the game

[misty sparrow]

Looked at the Steam description and it said “The developers recommend you play with a controller” so was just wondering

[clear mulch]

I have a TikTok controller

Do you guys have any setting I can use for nvidia control panel

Or leave everything default

Does it even help changing some stuff

[rancid juniper]

Keeb+Mouse seems to be fine

very responsive even with FG on

[clear mulch]

What resolution you playing the game on

[rancid juniper]

1440p

just using FSR 3.0 quality + FG with it

game is very intensive

[clear mulch]

Game looks nice from image

I bet it is

The character reminds me of Ethan

From resident evil 7 and 8

I think he was Ethan been a while

[rancid juniper]

yep

[clear mulch]

Wow love the ambience in game fog that church tress fence gate

I don’t think I can play this without cheats lol

[tranquil pebble]

it just means the developers are telling you the game will control better with a controller

[nocturne flicker]

Silent Hill's shtick is foggy landscape

[tranquil pebble]

Not all game types do well with m+kb

[nocturne flicker]

So there'll be plenty of fog

[clear mulch]

Doesn’t it remind you of resident evil 8 village

[rancid juniper]

yea

[clear mulch]

That game is beautiful no lies here the tire tracks in the mud good detail

[misty sparrow]

They did it, the sign isn’t Comic Sans!

[rancid juniper]

whats wild is that its not running native resolution

[misty sparrow]

I wonder if this will run good on my 3060ti

[clear mulch]

My brother has one my old gpu

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[clear mulch]

How do you guys find ghost of Tsushima on pc

[rancid juniper]

honestly if you're getting this game aim for low settings or just use upscaling

its that demanding

[misty sparrow]

yeah considering how it brought your GPU to its bare knees I don’t even wanna know

[clear mulch]

Pretty sure a 3080ti wouldn’t run it 4k

[pliant berry]

it's available on steam

[clear mulch]

Yes

In terms of gameplay and performance

[rancid juniper]

lol even 4090 users are complaining as usual

😂

[pliant berry]

oh, yeah it's been running fine for me on 3070ti 9900k

[misty sparrow]

are they attempting to run it at 4K again

[pliant berry]

though I only run on 1440p

[misty sparrow]

4090 users try to run everything at 4K and then proceed to complain about how unoptimized the game is for not running at 4K

[clear mulch]

Do they really

[rancid juniper]

yep

all the time

[clear mulch]

Is that card a beast melts the connectors

[misty sparrow]

It used to

[clear mulch]

Why they complain

[rancid juniper]

i mean

[misty sparrow]

5090 comes out, you’re probably going to have to connect your GPU directly into the wall socket

It’s just a hypothetical guess

[rancid juniper]

paying 2 grand for a card that claims to run games at 4k and seeing that it cant can make someone a bit angry

[clear mulch]

Omg that would be hilarious

Could it even run cyberpunk at max settings

[rancid juniper]

yes it can

that aside im seeing alot of reports about stuttering in silent hill 2

stutterfest as they call it

[nocturne flicker]

6090 gonna require two outlet plugs

[clear mulch]

Hahah

I think they don’t know how to balance the settings in games

[nocturne flicker]

Infinite power, gets you 30fps at 8k

[rancid juniper]

The memes may be true cuz wtf you gonna do with a 600w guzzler

this is the 5090 we're talkin about

[clear mulch]

Who even games at 8k

[rancid juniper]

no one

[nocturne flicker]

Nobody

[rancid juniper]

absolutely no one

[clear mulch]

4k and I struggle a bit here

[nocturne flicker]

It is meme

Buzzword they were throwing about back during Pascal iirc? And it was a joke then too

[clear mulch]

There is a person on YouTube who sometimes tries games at 8k and above

Crashes gpu

[nocturne flicker]

Or was it 30 series they started ranting about 8k gaming? I dunno, time is a void

[clear mulch]

They rated the ps5 to game at 8k

Then they removed it

From the box

[tranquil pebble]

not even a 4090 can always 8k game...

[clear mulch]

Most people hook them up with the cheap cable they give you to a tv that has no 120hz or vrr support

[rancid juniper]

yea the hills are really quiet today

[clear mulch]

I love games with fogs reminds of of the mist movie

[nocturne flicker]

0/10 game, no hills smh

[tranquil pebble]

at least they dont have eyes

[rancid juniper]

if it did id leave quickly

ngl it would be funny if IGN took a point off because "too much fog"

they'd get roasted forever

[nocturne flicker]

Couldn't see what was going on, 6/10 game

Too much fog

CoD game #29173 10/10 game

Best in the series

[rancid juniper]

accurate

[clear mulch]

Will you guys be playing new cod

[tranquil pebble]

no

[sinful blade]

You physically cannot tell the difference between 4k and 8k 90% of the time

[sinful blade]

Cod is a teenagers game

You grow out of it when you realize you’ve been spending hundreds of dollars buying the same exact carbon copy of a game over and over

[tranquil pebble]

unless you had a 200 inch TV or something

[clear mulch]

I only buy them to play the story modes

[sinful blade]

Unless you’re me and stop at bo3

[sinful blade]

Don’t even do that

There are several dozen better stories

[clear mulch]

I enjoy a good story cod mode

[sinful blade]

Wack

[clear mulch]

Played all battlefield games

And medal of honor ones too

Even the ones on ps2

[tranquil pebble]

I was a teen when this came out lol

[clear mulch]

I love that game

[tranquil pebble]

fr was peak CoD

[clear mulch]

You guys enjoyed advanced warfare

[rancid juniper]

bro... you better not inject tetanus in your system

or whatever tf is in there

[clear mulch]

That needle seen better days

[rancid juniper]

last pic lol

[tranquil pebble]

I havent played it much so Ill go ahead and do the campaign in it ig

[clear mulch]

What state does the game take place in

[tranquil pebble]

iirc this is where the pay respects meme came from

[clear mulch]

Be careful that game is really hungry for gpu even I can’t run it max settings lol

[tranquil pebble]

the game is from 2014... so uh yeah...

pretty sure my 5700 XT wont care

[clear mulch]

But graphic are really nice and crashed a few times on me too with 32gb ddr4 and 9 5950x 3080ti oc still couldn’t run the game well

[tranquil pebble]

There is a serious problem if those specs arent running it well

[nocturne flicker]

Yus. It happens very soon in the campaign

After the prologue iirc

[clear mulch]

Believe me I have no idea either I’m bad set balancing settings or game not optimized well

[tranquil pebble]

You could probably run most 2014 games max settings on iGPUs these days

[clear mulch]

I play mostly at 4k

Maybe that’s why

[tranquil pebble]

3080 is still overkill for 4k, 2014 game

[clear mulch]

Other cods run no problem

Just that game

Nothing overclocked games on ssd

[chrome mirage]

My steam deck runs a lot of games from then at max settings

[nocturne flicker]

It is crazy to imagine that out of everything, CoD's lasting impact is the introduction of F into online vocabulary

[tranquil pebble]

it should have also been outcome train go boom

[clear mulch]

Cod ghosts was really good

[tranquil pebble]

Vanguard campaign kinda underrated

[clear mulch]

I enjoyed it just tried it them making more world war 2 cods

[icy ore]

yeah interesting

the screenshots look really really nice

but it's upsetting that halo 1 and 2 have been remastered but still no 3

and now we're getting another 1 and 2 before 3

[sinful blade]

Ghosts was where they kinda just lost the point

That “game mode” was just the attempt of a zombies mode that went horribly wrong

It lacked a significant amount of depth or any narrative at the release
At least zombies had a narrative when it did

“Hey these guys are Nazi zombies, kill em”

Instead, we got “aliens, kill em”

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

A wat

[worthy meteor]

keychron made one too, although on preorder
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k2-he-wireless-magnetic-switch-keyboard

[sinful blade]

@worthy meteor do you have any experience with the RX580?

[dusk knot]

https://youtu.be/rb1C2nB48Tc?si=SLnIyVCrrNSLef6n

What

[tranquil pebble]

ok, so CoD Advanced Warfare is one of the worst games I have played in a while.

[nocturne flicker]

It was and always will be

[tranquil pebble]

mostly lousy PC port

one mission is not even possible to pass due to a bug in a QTE...

[tranquil pebble]

was hoping it was gonna be similar to Infinite Warfare... but nope. IW was actually good.

[worthy meteor]

not really, what about it?

[nocturne flicker]

I never played IW, but I know that the entire reason it got dogged on is because the previous games, especially AW and Ghosts, where bad even to the CoD fanboys.

I know because I was there calling it bad

[tranquil pebble]

Ghosts was at least a fun enough campaign and not a bad PC port

AW is just a mess of bugs though

[nocturne flicker]

I was there Gandalf, 10 years ago when the trailer was posted

[tranquil pebble]

and lag spikes

Though IMO the worst CoD campaign I have ever tried is... Call of Duty 1... it felt like a striaght up knock off of Medal of Honor.

[nocturne flicker]

That is because it was

[tranquil pebble]

CoD 2 being one of the better ones

and then CoD 3 basically doesnt exist (no PC version)

[nocturne flicker]

The project heads of Medal of Honor AA literally left and made Call of Duty

[tranquil pebble]

CoD needed its own thing, and CoD 2 gave it that

[nocturne flicker]

With the intent of making a MoH killer

[tranquil pebble]

Well, it didnt hit the mark with that first one IMO

2 though was great

also yeah AW moment

Tells you everything you need to know about the port quality

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc they had made MoH AA, were pissed that EA had stopped paying them to make an expansion for AA and then got bought out by Activision when they nearly went bankrupt due to EA cutting the contract and Activision said gib MoH killer

[sinful blade]

Might find a low price 580 build and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what sort of OC it can handle

[nocturne flicker]

And the remaining guys at the old company's subdivision made a Vietnam shooter and then a combat sim

[sinful blade]

Also, I am mad I didn’t keep my copy of Kameo: Elements of Power

[nocturne flicker]

I played that Vietnam game

[sinful blade]

I wanna play it

[nocturne flicker]

It wasn't good

[worthy meteor]

Yea I don't really know the oc headroom of a rx580, I don't remember it being great though

[wicked oriole]

anyone got any idea why my msi afterburner is showing up correct color scheme in COD but in all my other games its giving me a lighter color?

its like the color is supposed to be red but is coming up very orange. COD also seems to look better graphically than other games as well.

nvidia driver is up to date as well. ive reinstalled twice, it did fix cod (was super grainy/white) but other games still seem bright. my hdr is calibrated on my monitor

i swear im not crazy lol

[sweet phoenix]

Do you have HDR enabled

[wicked oriole]

I do.

[sweet phoenix]

That could be it? Idk

[sweet phoenix]

I was expecting a much less drastic color difference than this

[wicked oriole]

Got it I'll turn it off and see what happens

[wicked oriole]

I didn't realize it until I loaded up cod after the new driver update, cod looked weird and I noticed the stats weren't red anymore. Then I realized it was across all my games. Redownloaded drivers, fixed cod, but then I realized I had it set to deep red and not orange, so now I'm confused lol

I also didn't realize how drastic it was until the Nvidia overlay was a complete different shade than it normally is lol

Odd thing is it only seems like cod is showing up right. I checked my monitor, that's all good so I'm super confused on what the heck it could be

thank you. but what do you think about this one https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/g2XtPF#compatibility_notes

[north crescent]

Smth like HDR1000 forced onto SDR with no tone mapping or anything looks very, very different. Kinda gives deepfaked feel.

[sweet phoenix]

Cooler is overkill for no real use, and gpu is a generation old and overpriced new

[modest vault]

do i buy this one then?

[sweet phoenix]

Also, what's the pc being used for. Gaming?

[sweet phoenix]

That one is the best performance yes

[modest vault]

yes

[sweet phoenix]

The other one i linked has a worse gpu, but doesn't use the stock cooler, mobo comes with wifi, and has more storage

Here's a list similar to yours
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/F23BQP

[modest vault]

so what one do i buy

as im new to this

and have no idea

[sweet phoenix]

Do you have access to ethernet, or are you using wifi

Do you care about aesthetics, or just performance

[modest vault]

im using etherent of a booster

[modest vault]

performace

[sweet phoenix]

Ok then can do a cheaper mobo

Stock cooler is fine then, albeit a bit loud at times

[modest vault]

so what list?

[sweet phoenix]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xYrLWt

[sweet phoenix]

If you want a better gpu, go for this list. You get less storage, but that can always be upgraded very easily.

[modest vault]

1tb thats so much

i defo dont need more

tysm for the help

[modest vault]

are u sure i dont need a cooler

[wicked oriole]

Also if I get a 4k monitor can I drop it to 2k for my fps games and will it run native?

[sweet phoenix]

Am5 is all super easy to cool. The 7600 comes with the amd stock cooler, and that will keep it below 90c, which is well within operating temperature

With a better cooler it would be quieter, maybe run 5-10c cooler but functionally it will be the same

[modest vault]

even in a hot room

[sweet phoenix]

And you can always upgrade a cooler, it's among the easiest things to swap out

Yep!

[modest vault]

Is the parts quite easy to build?

[modest vault]

thank you

[sweet phoenix]

I've never done a hands on build with that case, the xt pro ultra you had selected might have more room to cable manage in

Either is a fine choice

I'd just follow a YouTube tutorial while you're doing it tho

[modest vault]

so im not going to have any problems with building it. Also does thermal pace come assembled with it

oh wait

we dont need on

one

as we dont have cooler

im so confused

[sweet phoenix]

The cpu comes with a cooler

And the cooler will have some paste pre applied to it

[modest vault]

Oh amazing

[modest vault]

whats a better graphics card Radeon RX 6800 XT or Radeon RX 7900

[sweet phoenix]

7900 gre or 7900xt are both far better

7900 gre matches the 6950xt, and 7900xt is another 10% better on top of that

7800xt and 6800xt are about equal

[modest vault]

ok tty

Chat! Is this enough to buy an RTX 4090???
