CES 2025 to be packed with announcements from AMD  AMD said to be launching not one but five new series at CES, including many new products.  If the last few months felt slow, January should be far more exciting than any weather forecast predicts. NVIDIA is expected to announce its GeForce RTX 50 series, while […]

But the Acer I NEVER heard of it

Do you game on it or what

idle nexus

tbh I've never used Crucial

or Samsung

#

Samsung was considered really good except for that firmware update they had to do cuz NVMes were dying

#

game mostly ya

#

the only NVMes I've had fail are a 1tb TeamGroup MP33 & a 1tb Sabrent Rocket 4

#

oddly both died the same way with plenty of drive life remaining: "Drive Available Spare" got down to 0%

#

this is the hwinfo screenshot for the Sabrent Rocket. 100% drive life remaining...? I still dunno wth happened lmao

rancid juniper

Worse when it's a boot drive with little backup

then again, I have a 500gb that's 100% fine & my dad's computer has a 1TB that's totally fine too

btw anyone know how to like extract weapons textures from a game? does Blender do that?

was kinda sketched out removing that heatsink with a razor blade but all's well that ends well right?

SN770 is probably one of the best nvmes without dram

I'm not biased

Too much mods

Pmy laptop has the normal windows profiles, but in order to use the Samsung ones that are built in which optimize windows render settings, clock speeds, memory management, panel refresh/display energy saver, and more, I need to have my power profile set to "SAMSUNG Profile" which is dynamic

If I go to battery saver, balanced, or high performance, I get errors in the Samsung things saying all of Samsung's battery saver functions are turned off

fair onyx
#

My laptop feels way better now

#

I bought it for the display, and man, does it display lol

#

the display on this laptop kicks ass

#

3.2k 120hz 600 nit AMOLED with insane color gamut

#

it was the number one deciding factor in me buying it, honestly. Add on the extremely light and thin design, the pen support, the fantastic track pad, the good battery life, and I had a package I really wanted

#

my best friend who is a professional music producer bought one as well. Haven't swapped to it yet, but its CPU runs laps around their 10th gen i7 in their 7.8 pound Alienware thermonuclear reactor of a "laptop"

tranquil pebble
#

is there any way to disable these? Its like yes Windows I know what it is happening, just shut up.

fair onyx
#

I wish lmao

#

You know what I wish was a thing? Battery saver while plugged in

#

because if I am plugged into a battery pack, that doesn't mean I want my laptop to burn through all of its power for no reason

#

I also wish there was a way to make discord use less CPU/power

proud jackal
#

Ez

#

Arrowlake

fair onyx
#

I would rather have a CPU that runs and doesn't crash all the time 😅

#

this 1360p is honestly plenty

#

I wish I could undervolt it to save more power, but of course its locked down

#

If anybody knows how I could eek more efficiency out of my 1360p, I would love to know. If there is some way to force it to undervolt, I would love that

fair onyx
#

whyyy discord 😭

When I want my laptop to actually last a decent amount of time I usually close out of discord

if you change mobo you need to reinstall os anyways

no...?

ive changed mobo+cpu in one shot without doing that

sweet phoenix

its the same exact thing

warped crest
#

oh?

#

i thought the cpu arch change would be worse?

young matrix
#

amd to intel is fine

#

going from x86 to arm is not fine

#

amd and intel both make x86

fair onyx
young matrix
#

and the only things youd need to reinstall would be chipset + LAN drivers

fair onyx
#

I am not even sure why it uses so much to run, like... its a text based application

young matrix
#

discord devs cant do their job and actually make sure the code runs well so it leads to ram leaks and a lot of unoptimized bs

fair onyx
#

Streaming my whole PC through p2p in tightVNC at near lossless quality uses considerably less power than having discord in the background, which is wild

young matrix

it took them like 5 years to fix the bug where copy pastes would duplicate, but that is fixed now

velvet summit

change the music slightly so the audience is on the right beats

tranquil pebble
#

There is plenty of HTML manipulation with the JavaScript going on too

fair onyx
#

any chance the web version would be lighter?

tranquil pebble
#

That entirely depends on your browser of choice

#

but it will generally be about the same

#

it is pretty much the same crappy JS code running under the hood either way

misty sparrow
#

then again, could be attributed to the engine. it's more similar to GTAIV than GTAV, and GTAIV's port is pretty messy

#

could also explain abnormally high system requirements for a 14 year old game

versed terrace
#

i have a 144 hz at home for val/cs and i went to my friend's college esport lounge to try out the 240hz and i can feel the difference, now i wonder if there's a difference between 240 and 360 since i am considering buying a monitor for 240 but for $100 more there's also a 360 hz option

sweet phoenix
random osprey
#

between 240 and 360 id be a bit a smaller of a difference than 144 and 240. if you can find a 360hz at a closer price point then why not but otherwise just save the money unless you have a store you can go to to test a 360hz monitor

It's not too bad but I'm not hitting the locked 180 fps like I use to in MW3

#

Swear if the 5080 is gonna be like $1600 though

misty sparrow
#

Even on low? Strange. Could be game being unoptimized/problem with game on your PC

#

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the former

craggy shoal
#

I really think it's just unoptimization but still

#

My friends with their 4080 Supers also barely reach 180 fps at times

misty sparrow
#

goddamn

craggy shoal
#

It's also weird but when switching to DLSS, the upscaling setting doesn't save. Super annoying because it switches back to FidelityFX CAS

#

So that's possibly the problem (also probably just unoptimization in that case)

Hi weggers

craggy shoal

anyw the game is still good upon release

misty sparrow

I don’t play Call of Duty so I wouldn’t really know much

I did, however, use DLSS the first time a few days ago and it works like a dream

#

Does it work well in BO6? Wonder if it’s different for a game with more things going on

craggy shoal

idk bruh

It won't stay selected 💀

switches back to FidelityFX CAS every time I select it

oh I thought you meant after a while it’d switch back automatically

never mind then

craggy shoal

Nah switches back every time

I’ve heard of him

Haven’t seen any of the game though, but since it’s call of duty I don’t imagine the graphics should be anything really groundbreaking

Cuz AM5 is still really expensive pound for pound

mortal grail
#

Notice how yes, there's a cooler on the AMD processor

devout forum
#

The 7600 (or the 7500F) is the lowest end AM5 chip
So you HAVE TO buy at least a 200 dollar CPU to get into AM5 whatsoever

mortal grail
#

But what you gain for $2 is a small performance drop in games in exchange for way more multicore

#

If you go stock cooler, it's loud, it works, it's valid

#

But the intel chip can also overclock in this config

#

The PG allows it

worn wave
#

Cherry picking that $130 mini itx board...?

mortal grail
#

It's justifiable in many scenarios

devout forum
#

Platform entry cost is just too high with AM5

And that only got worse with the 800 series chipsets because they're even more expensive than the 600 series ones

mortal grail
#

No?

#

It's the cheapest best board

mortal grail

Wym cherry pick

devout forum

TLDR
AM5 is just too damn expensive to get into for people who can't splurge

I always pick the lightning for AM5 rn cos nothing is as good for less

@worn wave this is the only cheaper pick and it won't handle upgrades like the lightning or pg riptide will

A series chipset is kinda yuck

And it's not like the 7500F is much cheaper

Not to mention the intel board has more than enough vrm for like 2 13900k's

You don't get to PBO, you don't get to let it stretch

If this was the case for cherry picking amd I could do the same on the intel side and push the point home further

devout forum

It's the absolute bare minimum to run low end

#

Dollar for dollar, AM5 mobos are worse in many ways

worn wave
#

Ok, good to know

devout forum
#

Not to mention you can get Z690/B660 boards if you want to get the same perf for less

#

AM5 is just too damn expensive to get into

#

And that comes from the unfortunate owner of a VERY low-end AM5 board

mortal grail
devout forum
#

Like so low end it's actively trying to die on me every time I start my PC

Like the fact that B650 across the board has x1 bandwidth pcie slots

AM5 has honestly been a disappointing experience for me
Especially as a first experience on a proper desktop PC

I bought into the hype and paid for it with my sanity

Now yes, I am probably the outlier here

mortal grail
#

AM5 is justifiable, but to really say one or the other is truly better rn given the price competition is a bit off base

mortal grail
#

The 13600K will trade blows with a 7600X, and if you know how to use either or, you can get a real advantage out of either

devout forum
mortal grail
#

Some wins some losses

#

What's clear between them tho is multicore

#

The 13600k definitely wins multicore

devout forum
#

It's really scarred my opinion on it ngl

mortal grail
#

I don't think you're unjustified lmfao

devout forum
#

Yeah that likely doesn't help

#

But yeah, AM5 could be amazing

#

It just really, REALLY badly disappointed me

#

I've worked my butt off for this rig, and it's been absolutely horrid dealing with the mobo

#

I don't hate AM5, hell it's powerful enough that I can slot almost any GPU in with my 7600X and not feel like I'm doing something stupid

all that amd and intel stuff is trash

Is the 4080s really that bad with price to perf?

rancid juniper

unsure

elfin mural

not sure either

devout forum
#

Like I can get a 4080s for ~15% more than a 7900XTX

#

Both the cheapest available

rancid juniper
devout forum
#

It kinda feels exactly on the edge of where Nvidia software and RT advantage kinda still barely makes it maybe worth it
But then raster is also there, but 4080S is also very good at raster

rancid juniper
#

cheapest new XTX is 869

#

open box far cheaper

devout forum
#

Hungary is dum

rancid juniper
#

lol

devout forum
#

Cheapest 7900 XTX is 415k HUF
Cheapest 4080S is ~475k HUF

#

That's right on the edge of Nvidia software and RT value vs AMD raster speed value

#

That being said

#

If I'm spending over 300k HUF on a GPU

#

I'm probably gonna want to turn on RT

#

(that's about 900 USD converted, but our VAT is 27% so that skews pricing)

rancid juniper
#

dayum

devout forum
#

See my point?

#

That's right around the margin where I'd probably actually want a decent RT experience

#

And nVidia is still not there yet

#

4070 Ti Super is ~355k HUF
And it can do 60FPS in 1440p RT (sometimes even without upscaling), so it's not completely stupid, but also not exactly ideal yet

#

@rancid juniper I mean am I unreasonable with the expectations here?

rancid juniper
#

honestly id save

devout forum
#

Am I asking too much with a GPU that can do 1440p 60FPS RT for that price range?

#

It's ALMOST there already

rancid juniper
#

RT is still somewhat of a gimmick here, and big games we have now got poor performance on most cards

#

RTX 50 series may change that

devout forum
#

Ye that's fair
I'm merely making the point that is my thought process on the matter

#

300k HUF is about the price point where my mental limit for hardware is

rancid juniper
#

my hard cap is around $500 (basically my 7800xt)

devout forum
#

Fun fact a 7800 XT is my entire monthly paycheck

#

Which is 720 bucks (again, converted)

#

And again, because very high VAT
