[west topaz]

Didnt even factor in for when i get multiple games when these new cod games continue to come out

[worthy meteor]

It's what 500gb for the next one? Might be closer to 1tb after that

[last mango]

Just get 4tb

you will not be concerned with storage for while

[worthy meteor]

Just spend what you're comfortable with spending

[sinful blade]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/375477353421?

[worthy meteor]

If you can't comfortably spend 200$, just spend the <100$ on a decent 2tb drive and get more in the future

[sinful blade]

@west topaz you can go ahead and give that build to me for uh… inspection? Yeah, inspection

[west topaz]

What is even considered decent nowadays 😭

Off the top of your head

[worthy meteor]

Prices are kinda wack now but this is good

[west topaz]

Im interested to know what people's rigs are here 😭

[worthy meteor]

Like just a few weeks ago 2tb mp33 was ~$60

[last mango]

oooh

[worthy meteor]

And it's $93 now

[proud jackal]

I have a modest system

[last mango]

can i post my pcpart picker link here

🙂

[worthy meteor]

Nothing stopping you

[west topaz]

I just assume everyone here has a beast of a pc

[last mango]

yes, just being polite

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zH6MjH

[dusk knot]

Most of the regulars do

[last mango]

but youre getting a nice deal for i79700k/4070

for 600

i paid $911 at msrp for 4070ti

sad times.

[west topaz]

Yeah when i saw that I jumped right for it 😭

[last mango]

me thinks u can upgrade cpu/mobo

new mobo will have 2 nvme slots

and then u have good storage solution

[west topaz]

Ahhhh so some of my parts are outdated

[rancid juniper]

money

[west topaz]

What cpu would you recommend

[proud jackal]

Same

[last mango]

..lol

[rancid juniper]

stop the cap

💀

[last mango]

When i listed my 4070ti up for sale on FBM

i got a offer...

an trade offer.

[west topaz]

Im glad im not alone

[last mango]

my 4070ti for powercolor 7900xtx

[proud jackal]

[west topaz]

Ill get into all that when I get paid again 💀

[last mango]

after figuring out and making a late amazon return luckily to send back my current gpu

he backed out at last minute

Wack.

And what's WORSE

[west topaz]

Ryzen or intel

[last mango]

he is accepting a trade

for a rtx 3080

[last mango]

I would say Ryzen because im Team Red supporter but take a look at your mc for good cpu/mobo/ram deals.

[wary fjord]

intel #1

[last mango]

the mobo in my pcpartpicker build is going to be replaced

to b550 taichi

[wary fjord]

[wary fjord]

[last mango]

ah yes space heater go brrrrr

what i am reading

89 C max

damn.

nice.

[deep parcel]

this is fake btw

[wary fjord]

ehh sad i thought intel has answer already

is there new benchmark where they on top

[deep parcel]

no I was responding to the harry potter trailer

lol

[wary fjord]

ooooo

right yeah xD reddit says its ai

[rancid juniper]

dunno if i can post this but

[deep parcel]

whats the context?

lol

[wary fjord]

whats wrong with that

xD

[last mango]

no cuss words, you're voila

[rancid juniper]

the user Fancy is tired of xx before gta 6 jokes

[wary fjord]

ow xD

its free advertisement for rockstar tho.

[rancid juniper]

guess so

[wary fjord]

also exclusive titles on console are now slowly coming to pc now lol

console people are mad

whats the point of buying console if pc master race has same treatment

[rancid juniper]

games are getting more expensive to make so it makes total sense to go multiplatform

its effective

Nintendo still manages to keep the exclusitivity because of IP protection, limited scope and budget

[deep parcel]

usually now they are doing exclusive console for a year then port to pc

like with PS games

[rancid juniper]

its getting shorter and shorter

lol

[deep parcel]

yeah true

cuz sony down bad for money

[rancid juniper]

sony after concord be like:

[deep parcel]

they are getting desperate lol

[rancid juniper]

just like ubisoft

you love to see it

[deep parcel]

I hope DS2 comes to pc quickly after release

death stranding

[rancid juniper]

a video hojima game

[last mango]

Until dawn I see its coming to pc

[rancid juniper]

its already on pc

and it sucks

[deep parcel]

OH

new Yakuza show out today

just remembered

oh nvm tomorrow

I thought it was 23rd release

[last mango]

the gameplay or its perfomance

[rancid juniper]

i think it was the performance

but also the fact that nobody really wanted it

they could just port it over or do a small remaster

[last mango]

oof

[proud jackal]

Haven't got the email saying I can pick up parts yet

[rigid sinew]

good

[wary fjord]

that doesnt make console special anymore ~ they say

[unreal trail]

hi

[proud jackal]

HOW IS THAT GOOD

[rigid sinew]

patience is a virtue

[proud jackal]

[last mango]

wat are u picking up

[rancid juniper]

theo when the core ultra is ships for more than 1 day

[north crescent]

One can assume it's zip, so non-solid archiving. But can be 7zip with specific settings or tar, which can have solid blocks or solid archiving, which means one would need X amt of working space to extract.

[rancid juniper]

zip bomb

https://tenor.com/view/zip-bomb-discord-anime-nuke-explosion-gif-26755667

[last mango]

4mb zip bomb go brr

How to defeat it

Step 1, have 1 mb storage drive

Step 2. download it

step 3 you get a error saying not enough space

step 4. congrats you survived

[rancid juniper]

good strat

[worthy meteor]

Would be unfortunate

[dusk knot]

What did you buy?

[proud jackal]

Intel 285k and z890 apex

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[wary fjord]

whoa

[lone mango]

We should use that die space for more compute units or cache or cut it to have a smaller die

[wary fjord]

cant relate xD

[mortal grail]

I haven't laughed that hard in ages

God the fish then his pfd malfunctioned

[mortal grail]

[pliant berry]

omg reflection is smaller

[lone mango]

Crazy quality

[mortal grail]

I can't breathe

[wary fjord]

my eyes is not up to specs

to tell the difference

[dusk knot]

Excellent....

[dusk knot]

Doesn't mean RT is useless.

[dusk knot]

Not full out ray tracing

[rancid juniper]

PS5 Pro be like:

[lone mango]

Majority of the time it is, and a lot of those times it looks more unrealistic than with it off

[lone mango]

[dusk knot]

Show me an example? 🤔

[wary fjord]

if u guys want realistic

just go outside

xD

stop emulating reality

haha

[dusk knot]

We've become so used to baked lighting that we're all not that familiar with how light works in real life.

[wary fjord]

it cost alot of electric bill to fake reality

[dusk knot]

All games really

[lone mango]

It will take me a long time to find the video from control, but floors and reflective surfaces become mirrors. Floors irl are not mirrors

Not every puddle is a mirror

[dusk knot]

Depends on the material.

[lone mango]

I saw a cyberpunk comparison and the water was unusually shiny. Water doesnt reflect everything like that, its not mercury

[dusk knot]

If it's still, it is a mirror

[wary fjord]

the closest rtx we experience back in a day is enb + raining xD

[dusk knot]

Mirror.. checkmate

It's shallow to

[lone mango]

The reflection would be sharper with rtx on

[dusk knot]

I just took this outside my house

we need full on path tracing. Gaming doesn't have it, only movies, and even then they can't do it in real time because it's that demanding.

Actually.... even movies don't have it. They cut corners to

[wary fjord]

movies has ii

it takes years to render

some of the clip

[lone mango]

Nah we just need devs to make a game that looks good enough but runs well too

[rancid juniper]

i know them pcs were struggling when rendering michael bay's transformer movies

[lone mango]

Dont need more buzzwords

[dusk knot]

Lol. Just took a long time to render

[lone mango]

Deep rock looks not only looks good but also runs very well

[wary fjord]

lol too much explosion on michael bay movie

like 40% of it

is explosion

hahaha

[dusk knot]

Too much action

[rancid juniper]

not a bay film without BOOM

[wary fjord]

nooo

dont contaminate green land

damn spreaders

[lone mango]

Airport openings in greenland paused after virus concerns

[dusk knot]

Oh oh
...

[dusk knot]

Doubt

Maybe in a few hundred years

[wary fjord]

true

those robot at tesla still uses remote control

[dusk knot]

Unless AI accelerates everything...but I feel like it's slowing down now.

[wary fjord]

defender can handle your stuff...

just dont go browsing shady sites

"rbolox acc generator" "free vbucks"

those aint real

xD

[wary fjord]

up to you

does it bother u?

[trail nest]

i used to pay like $60 a year for norton antivirus and it was a crap and slowed my pc down a lot

[wary fjord]

for me personally i uninstall it

u know what i will reinstall a fresh windows on it

[trail nest]

cuz that shet runs in the background

[wary fjord]

without those store bloatwares

xD

[west topaz]

Wheres the techies 😭😭

I dont wanna make a regrettable purchase and she starts to complain at me 💀

[wary fjord]

they gonna be here when they have time xD chill for now head to #building-and-recc-chat

[trail nest]

[wary fjord]

[trail nest]

@wary fjord but if i do a fresh uninstall i will lose my warranty from lenovo cause it won't have lenovo app on it anymore

[wary fjord]

they said that? have u tried to ask them?

usually they prevent u to open the laptop

but they are fine reisntalling windows

[west topaz]

Well i wanted to buy something from fbm just because she's an impatient person and wanted to know if it was worth its value considering all that was said

[wary fjord]

impatient person?

gf: i want pc now stat!

xD

[west topaz]

Yupp 💀

Shes a gamerrrr

[rancid juniper]

very rare

[wary fjord]

[west topaz]

....

Unreal

[rancid juniper]

[wary fjord]

if u gonna put rgb i hope its not anti valorant ac xD

some rgb control driver block when valorant is installed

[trail nest]

@wary fjord why does my old laptop with windows 10 take like 3-5 minutes to boot up now?

[wary fjord]

ssd?

[west topaz]

@rancid juniper whats your take on this rig

[trail nest]

it has hdd

[wary fjord]

then thats it

[sinful blade]

@west topaz what games does she play

[wary fjord]

hdd sucks

try to put ssd on it

[pastel marsh]

I got a leg infection, do you need to go to the ER for this stuff or do antibiotic creams work well enough

[wary fjord]

will go under a few seconds

[west topaz]

Valorant mainly, sometimes COD

[pastel marsh]

Got it from walking back after working out

[trail nest]

when i first bought my old laptop 8 years ago it only took like 30 seconds to boot up

[rancid juniper]

mmm for the specs it doesn't seem too bad for what she wants to play, just wished the price was a tad bit lower

[wary fjord]

sir this is newegg

u need to call 911

[rancid juniper]

kudos on the seller for showing benchmark numbers

[pastel marsh]

Nah

[west topaz]

Fr 😭

[wary fjord]

we dont sell stuff to help your infection xD im sorry

[pastel marsh]

Canada hospitals are like 6 hrs waiting

[wary fjord]

we have 4090 tho

[rancid juniper]

._.

[wary fjord]

it gives u joy forgetting u have infection in the 1st place

[sinful blade]

I can do better than this

Don’t worry

[pastel marsh]

On reddit some people said it goes away

[wary fjord]

6 hrs how many people are in canada

deym

6 hours

[pastel marsh]

19 people waiting for a doctor

94 in the room

[sinful blade]

@west topaz do you mind waiting for her to have it

[misty sparrow]

Xbox friends?

[sinful blade]

Or do you want it asap rn

[rancid juniper]

xboxing

[wary fjord]

tldr he has impatient gf

[misty sparrow]

Why specifically Xbox?

[wary fjord]

i dont know how much gf can handle waiting

[sinful blade]

Cuz that’s the sale location lmao

[wary fjord]

his fate is on your hands

[west topaz]

I dont mind 💀 but she does lmao its only because i got a 4070 rig earlier

[wary fjord]

whoa whoa

[sinful blade]

It would shave $80 off the total price(of the cpu)

[trail nest]

@wary fjord if i do fresh install on a brand new walmart laptop do i need to buy a brand new windows 11 key?

[wary fjord]

u got 4070 and u only get her that gpu?

unfair xD

[tranquil pebble]

just started one of those community expeditions in No Man's Sky for the first time. I should have been doing these a long time ago

[west topaz]

Yeah some guy on fbm gave it to me for 600 lmaoooo

Including the rig itself

[wary fjord]

inst that included on your laptop purchase

ask them about ur key

or login to microsoft on that laptop

[trail nest]

i dont' see the key anywhere on the box lol

[wary fjord]

bind the key to your account

[misty sparrow]

don't have anyone that really uses Xbox, and even if they do use Xbox app on PC they'd probably use Steam anyway

thanks for notification though

[wary fjord]

when u bind it .. should look lik this

[west topaz]

Send the link, and ill see if i can convince her, but otherwise would it be dumb for me to make this purchase ?

[wary fjord]

now when u reinstall your windows .. u login back should be activated again

thats the case for me

aslong same hardware same account

[trail nest]

@wary fjord will i lose all my pre-installed lenovo app if i do fresh install?

[wary fjord]

yeah

but they probablty have it on their website

[trail nest]

hrmmm

but my laptop doesn't have any bloatware

i already checked all installed apps

nothing except for mcafee

[wary fjord]

just uninstall the av if u can

if thats the only concern u have

[trail nest]

kk

i hate mcafee so i will do that

[wary fjord]

defender is enough now a days just dont wonder off some offshore sites

[trail nest]

lol i only use defender on my gaming pc now

antivirus are a waste of money

[wary fjord]

same

defender + common sense = quite sturdy protectin

[tranquil pebble]

I disable defender even. It very frequently kills performance in some of my games

[wary fjord]

it will be nice if defender has anti phishing system

[west topaz]

Whats the RX6700 compared to anyway ? A 3060?

[trail nest]

is windows 11 gonna be the last windows?

[tranquil pebble]

no

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yjMv89

[trail nest]

i hope they don't make a new windows any time soon

[wary fjord]

no

[pliant berry]

why would it ever end

[sinful blade]

It wouldn’t be dumb, but you could get better @west topaz

[pliant berry]

until the company goes bust ofc

[trail nest]

so the next windows will be windows 12?

[wary fjord]

probably

[sinful blade]

Best I can come up with atm

[wary fjord]

windows 12 probably not gonna be compatible on older device

[sinful blade]

Gave it the “gamer girl” vibe

[wary fjord]

they already starting to not support old cpus on win 11

[tranquil pebble]

unless they change naming schemes again yes

[wary fjord]

on latest changes

[sinful blade]

Could save a few dozen bucks by changing to plain black

[tranquil pebble]

how old are we talking?

[trail nest]

i have always had hp brand laptop but this lenovo one is so slim and not thick like hp laptops i love it so much

@wary fjord my new lenovo laptop specs are 16gb ram and it comes with intel i7 i255u 1.7ghz so is that good for gaming?

[sinful blade]

@west topaz https://www.ebay.com/itm/156404825193?

there’s also this. Just upgrade storage.

[sweet phoenix]

Hp has slim laptops too lol

[wary fjord]

no idea havent look depth on it.. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements

[sinful blade]

And ram

[trail nest]

@sinful blade is a lenovo laptop with 16gb ram and it comes with intel i7 i255u 1.7ghz good for gaming?

[west topaz]

Hahahahahaha thanks so much @sinful blade

[sinful blade]

This is probably the best bet

Comes quick, and has am5 cpu with a decent gpu

[sweet phoenix]

If it doesn't have a gpu, no

Not in any way shape or form

[sinful blade]

@elfin mural has the answer

I have 0 experience with intel mcpus

[trail nest]

my laptop has built in intel irisx graphics

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah nah

You might run minecraft and similarly light games

Nothing more demanding than csgo

[trail nest]

dang

can it run league of legends then?

[sweet phoenix]

Probably

But if you can return it you can do much better

[sinful blade]

With some tweaking

[rancid juniper]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rQbhDZ

man...

[sweet phoenix]

A 7000/8000 series apu would serve you much better if you want good gaming perf and you value battery life

[trail nest]

the laptop was $475 plus tax so i paid $520

[wary fjord]

i255u isnt that dual core.. hmm but the ecore makes it not xD since it has 8 of it.

[sweet phoenix]

Otherwise id get a 4050/4060 laptop

Yeah you can do a 8645hs laptop around that

[sinful blade]

Start coming to us before you make decisions

[trail nest]

lol so i got ripped off then?

[wary fjord]

maybe but its not the end of the world yet

you can redeem yourself xD

one day

[trail nest]

let me check on google to see if there are any brand new laptop for around $520

[sweet phoenix]

I wouldnt say so

More just you can get better value for your money if you care about gaming

[rancid juniper]

what tf...

[wary fjord]

ooo

[sinful blade]

Nonono

[trail nest]

hrmmm well i'm probably just gonna use the laptop for watching anime and maybe emulator gaming

[wary fjord]

xD

[sinful blade]

That is onboard cpu

[rancid juniper]

lel

[wary fjord]

ryzen 32 gb what cpu is that

[sweet phoenix]

Foxy and felix know laptops better than I do, so if you do want to swap it out I'd ask one of them

[rancid juniper]

undisclosed stolen ryzen chip

[sinful blade]

Keywordstuffing9000 3.76ghz

[trail nest]

hrmm

well i checked google and most laptops for around $520 don't even come with built in graphics card

it only has either amd radeon graphics or intel x graphics

[sinful blade]

Welcome to google

If you want good shiz. You gotta look for it.

[wary fjord]

let me corrupt your choices.. ||go 2nd hand laptop fb market place|| xD nah bnew still W

[sweet phoenix]

Amd igpus are a lot better, 6000/7000/8000 series specifically

The 8000 series best igpu, 780m, matches a desktop 1650

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare

Like not even close

[tranquil pebble]

Well, if they drop Zen 2 within the next few months there is going to be problems

[trail nest]

hrmmm so amd built in graphics are way better then intel?

[pastel marsh]

the 780m matches a 1650ti

the 680m matches a 1650

ruh ruh raggy

[pastel marsh]

intel has better gpus than amd for data centers and general computing. They got tensors in their cards

amd only emulates them

[trail nest]

thanks. that makes me feel better about my intel cpu laptop now kekeke

hey chat do you guys think ssd will become more affordable as the years go by?

cuz damn i want a 5tb ssd for the same price as a 5tb hdd

@sinful blade wtf this thing is only $258 and it has a built in rtx 3050 with 1tb ssd which is way better than what i paid for my lenovo laptop that didn't even have a built in gpu

[sweet phoenix]

Click the link i sent

It's a rough comparison

[trail nest]

kk

[sweet phoenix]

Dayum

Great value

If you can get that, 100%

Would just need to add some more ram. The 3050 isn't exactly good, but it'll definitely game a lot better than iris xe lol

[trail nest]

@sweet phoenix the link you sent is a refurbished laptop i like my stuff brand new

[sweet phoenix]

No this link

And check out r/laptopdeals

[trail nest]

k

[sweet phoenix]

i really don't like laptops with only 8gb ram though

i want at least 16gb ram on a laptop

that's probably why that gaming laptop from best buy is so cheap kekeke

woooowww!! i definitly could've gotten this though!!!

this one is way better than the one i bought from walmart wtf!!!

OK i'm refunding and going to get this one from best buy lololol

OMG!!! it's sold out!!! ugh!!!

[icy ore]

dude that laptop had an rtx 4060 and it has 16gb ram for only $430 and that's actually a $1000 laptop

[rancid juniper]

they about to flip em for insane profits..

[trail nest]

finding a gaming laptop with an rtx 4060 and 16gb ram for $400 is a freaking steal man and it even comes brand new

dammit i feel bad i couldn't get my hands on it

[trail nest]

omg noooooooo

[worthy tapir]

Granted I traded in some abandoned phones and only paid like $200 out of pocket. But still

[paper verge]

bruh a family member of mine got a 4070/13620h for 1.5k

[worthy tapir]

My laptop is great performance wise. But it is a bit loud and dies within 2 hours on idle when dedicated gpu is selected.

[worn wave]

More likely there was only a little stock left and that price was to clear it out

[paper verge]

tbh i would never pay 1.5k for a laptop

some really wierd idea came to my mind

like in unis why dont students just get an itx (in the dorm) and remote into that

its not like latency will be a problem unless you live in some 3rd world country

[sinful blade]

Laptops past 1k are just “get a pc” territory

Where’s old intel going

[icy ore]

They kinda stopped getting bigger and instead started taking away features then reimplementing them later as “the first time this has ever been done!”

[craggy shoal]

I miss 3D Touch

They took it away because nobody knew they had it on their phone 🙃

[icy ore]

(me)

[tranquil pebble]

they will probably bring it back one day and claim it to be completely new

[icy ore]

They’ll call it iTouch

[craggy shoal]

Now I have to "haptic press" because y'all wanted a phone but didn’t know how to use it

A little bit of chemical warfare in the bathroom fun

Was it cleaning them with bleach or was it like, just chucking a chlorine tablet in the urinals and walking away

[worn wave]

Pretty sure ammonia + bleach releases chloramine (not chlorine) gas

Which is still bad but not as bad as chlorine gas

[nocturne flicker]

Ammonia plus bleach makes chloramine, bleach contains chlorine compounds

ugh that article turned political pretty fast

[craggy shoal]

"Justify data caps" yeah let's just stop advancing Internet access 💀😭

[storm narwhal]

It stifles innovation

It mostly worked for Apple so

No reason it wouldn't apply

[fresh nova]

Jesus help me

Read this...

lmfao

[nocturne flicker]

Is this bad? It seems like the FCC is saying give us a good reason to not slap down data caps or else we will. Is regulating data caps bad?

[tranquil pebble]

data caps are bad for consumers

[weak cedar]

Basiccly they stop data caps during covid then re added them after covid

[nocturne flicker]

Ok, that is what I thought, why did the article get salty by the end over it then?

[tranquil pebble]

probably bad writing

[weak cedar]

It's like my Verizon plan I pay $38.35 and data cap of 15gb pre month

[tranquil pebble]

If I had a data cap on my home network I would be unable to download things on my own schedule

If my isp put a data cap on my internet I would end business with them and go to the competitor

[nocturne flicker]

ISPs having competition? What country do you live in

[deep parcel]

US lol

We have about 3 isps or maybe even 4 isps in competition here in my town

A new all fiber 5 gig internet isp

Old isp changing to all fiber and trying to compete by getting 5 gig as well

Other few I don’t really know what they are doing but they are here

[weak cedar]

Viasat updated there's near me

[nocturne flicker]

Apparently the FCC has a website to check your address's broadband provider options

[weak cedar]

it was this

[nocturne flicker]

Those prices are offensive

[weak cedar]

and they had a Contract cancelation fee as well which appartnly they got rid of from few months after we dropped them

it might have 1 tb data cap but it's not crazy as that

Is this one of those attach a dish to your house and now you have internet things?

[weak cedar]

ya but we have 100+ foot cord 😆

100 foot POE to the starlink modem then a extra 50 feet of normal cat 5 or 6 underground

But it's not terrible

This was viasat for us

But now I know that AT&T offer internet at my home. Via copper, giving .2mbps up and down

[granite estuary]

Well they just had a satellite explode

Couple days ago

[storm narwhal]

Ah yeah that's it

Kaboom, Rico

[granite estuary]

For “unknown reasons”

I have a sneaky suspicious it’s hit some space debris

Which is just unfortunate

[storm narwhal]

Satellites just do that bro

Spontaneous explosion is totally a known risk for all spacecraft

[granite estuary]

Yes

I still think it’s hit space debris

[storm narwhal]

They should probably stop powering them with thermaltake smart PSUs

[proud jackal]
