general-chat

[storm narwhal]

I think i'm still confused as to what he's asking lol

[mortal grail]

Revo doesn't do handover of safe mode like DDU does

[frosty sinew]

ive tried uninstalling the amd stuff

[velvet summit]

ddu is the name of the software

[mortal grail]

He used Revo for radeon drivers

[storm narwhal]

but DDU is something you should do

[velvet summit]

well, the short form

[frosty sinew]

i dont wanna restart my pc lol

too many things open

[storm narwhal]

yuh doesn't work

[frosty sinew]

oh well

[mortal grail]

Have to for DDU

Safe mode must be running for DDU

[frosty sinew]

um

how do i get a display output

with no drivers

[storm narwhal]

yeah you need safe mode for it to be effective

[velvet summit]

windows needs to be restarted regularly or it starts breaking itself ong

[mortal grail]

Imagine

[storm narwhal]

It does it's own base driver install

[mortal grail]

W15 2040

Every other update is a restart

Only a restart

[velvet summit]

linux: 5 year uptime no issue
windows: oh no i've been on for more than a week im gonna die

[velvet summit]

windows has the basic display drivers that work with nearly every gpu in existence made in like the last 20 years

will allow you to render the 2d graphics till you install the proper drivers

[sage sluice]

All the more reason to switch off windows

[frosty sinew]

Just safe mode or safe mode with networking or cmd

[storm narwhal]

just safe mode

no need for networking

[velvet summit]

cmd if you know how to interface with ddu without a gui lmfao

[mortal grail]

Man I just spent nearly two weeks trying to even dip my toes into Linux just to learn I was being blocked by a bad usb cable

[proud jackal]

someones actually listening to this chats advice

[mortal grail]

Linus

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

Lmao

[velvet summit]

into who

[mortal grail]

Linus

[frosty sinew]

I can't use Chrome without a gui

[mortal grail]

You heard me

Linus likes toes

[frosty sinew]

Or arduino ide

[mortal grail]

Linus Torvolds

[velvet summit]

actually, does ddu even work in command line, or is it gui only

looks like it does

[storm narwhal]

I just run the exe

[velvet summit]

maybe somebody could make a script to automate ddu lmao

and reinstalling drivers or smth idk, though that would require networking

tbh idk how much use it would be

[storm narwhal]

I guess you could yeah

But idk

[velvet summit]

hmm

[mortal grail]

Technically there's a better way to do ddu

Do the gpu drivers as well in safe mode if it allows

Like reinstall

[velvet summit]

i see that you can use a script to restart the computer into safe mode with networking, but idk if you can run the script automatically once you're in safe mode

🧐

[mortal grail]

I'll run ur script in a minute

[frosty sinew]

Why won't my keyboard work in the memu

Tf

I can't press f4 to get into safe mode

[storm narwhal]

I'm pretty sure it's 4

[velvet summit]

looks like you can, but you need to do a registry edit (which can also be automated)

[mortal grail]

Unplug then plug back in if it won't

And yeah, 4

[velvet summit]

so theoretically you can fully automate the complete uninstalling and reinstalling of gpu drivers without manually switching to safe mode

[frosty sinew]

Neither work

[mortal grail]

Try another usb port

Try another keyboard even

[frosty sinew]

Alr did

It might be fast boot acc

[mortal grail]

Then you need to try getting back into that menu again

[frosty sinew]

Yep

It was

[mortal grail]

I find this is a lot easier

But you need to do the same thing to turn it off if you do that^ way after you're done in safe mode

[frosty sinew]

This is a lot of settings

Says all the boxes

All the amd ones or?

[mortal grail]

I just go forward without changing them tbh

Clicking all covers older gpus

[velvet summit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/2uFkFYpcrDc?si=tldVDDIT7SkVKJqH

[mortal grail]

I think the string's a bit too strong there bud

[opaque sedge]

The entire structure of that crossbow is gonna break when that string is released

[frosty sinew]

literally all low

on CSGO

the game that will run on a raspberry pi

[wary fjord]

Pff imagine not having 1400 fps on cs

[frosty sinew]

its a 5700xt

[mortal grail]

Uh

We shouldn't filter dodge

If you just did a DDU and it's still happening then it'll be something else

Not drivers, maybe heat

[frosty sinew]

yeah

but what tho

[mortal grail]

Heat, maybe RAM

[mortal grail]

SSD available space

[mortal grail]

There's no way it's the gpu if it's a solid 52C 💀

[mortal grail]

What drive is the C drive

[frosty sinew]

looks all fine

[frosty sinew]

local disk

[mortal grail]

...

[mighty hazel]

Cpu bound anyway

[mortal grail]

What MODEL

[frosty sinew]

ohhhhhhhh

970 evo plus

[mortal grail]

Also please use thishttps://www.hwinfo.com/download/

[frosty sinew]

alr got that

[mortal grail]

Task manager is useless

[frosty sinew]

didnt know if u wanted that

[mortal grail]

Would prefer it pls

Task manager only good for CPU usage and ram capacity

[frosty sinew]

so this does seem to be hardware in some capacity

[mortal grail]

much better

What's the cpu temp

[frosty sinew]

nah

gpu is pinned at 100

[mortal grail]

That's not CPU or GPU

Highly unlikely to be storage

Maybe ram

[frosty sinew]

seems to be

[mortal grail]

If anything

[frosty sinew]

because gpu is at 100% usage

[mortal grail]

If you don't like huge dips to low fps then use an fps cap

And lower settings

[frosty sinew]

i was on all low

capped at 165, my monitors refresh

[mortal grail]

But if you aren't having problems like huge moments of stuttering or like regular blue screens or crashing, I am not really seeing anything here

No obvious symptoms

[frosty sinew]

well

i mean

ok

[frosty sinew]

something was screwy a while ago

[mortal grail]

If you are pinned to 100% usage still then that wouldn't do much

[frosty sinew]

i was getting BSOD every few days, turned off xmp and it stopped

[mortal grail]

Ram

[frosty sinew]

im running xmp again and its fine

no bsod in a week or 2

[mortal grail]

It's ram

I'm like

80% sure you'll fail a ram test

Lol

[frosty sinew]

that is stupid

because its nice corsair ram

ram test?

[mortal grail]

Corsair DDR4 is infamous for using crap quality chips

[frosty sinew]

well crap

[mortal grail]

It's the worst hit rate

WORDS

You're in luck

Ram often has a lifetime warranty

So bad ram? Just claim warranty

https://www.overclock.net/threads/memory-testing-with-testmem5-tm5-with-custom-configs.1751608/

Run the anta777 config

[mortal grail]

It'll pop up that it's running in anta777 in the bottom left

[frosty sinew]

it wasnt even cheap

[mortal grail]

15 or so tests

If you get even ONE error

You have dead ram

Or something tangible to it

[frosty sinew]

that makes me sad

what ram should i get

thats better

[mortal grail]

Don't get any what

Do the test

If you fail the test then claim warranty

[frosty sinew]

ok

this

[mortal grail]

I saw that

And I say it again

[frosty sinew]

then im stuck with more bad ram

[storm narwhal]

Corsair ram (derogatory)

[mortal grail]

Don't waste the money on more DDR4

Just oblige Corsair to fulfill a lifetime assurance of operation

[frosty sinew]

yeah

but if the ram is the problemn

and they use bad chips

[mortal grail]

Do the test and we'll know for sure

[frosty sinew]

i dont wanna deal with that

im doign it rn

or tryting

is it working?

?

[mortal grail]

Not yet

Load config and exit

Select anta777 extreme

Then restart the program

It'll show much more tests

You get even 1 error then it's ram related

[frosty sinew]

?

[mortal grail]

There you go

Leave it to run

[frosty sinew]

for how long

[mortal grail]

You haven't got like 30 thousand chrome tabs open btw?

[frosty sinew]

uh

[mortal grail]

If you have a lot of ram in use then you'll need to close everything else down then restart the test

Otherwise the test is not genuine

[mortal grail]

Until it says finished

~2-4 hours

[frosty sinew]

damn

alr

welp see you in the morning hten

[mortal grail]

Ok

[storm narwhal]

You want to test every bit of the ram

Go like, read a book or make a meal lol

Or sleep

[frosty sinew]

are the errors in the log?

what if it bsods

[frosty sinew]

its 1130pm lol and i have school

[mortal grail]

If it bsods and restarts to windows desktop then it failed

Which is also a fail result

[storm narwhal]

If its the only thing running then that's pretty conclusive

[frosty sinew]

So if I wake up to a restarted pc then it's ram

Ok

[mortal grail]

Pretty sure

Off chance it's a bad ram slot or the CPU ram controller

But most likely ram

[frosty sinew]

What are better brands of ram? 160 dollars is worth less to me than my time

[mortal grail]

Mmmmm...

Any other brand tbh?

Corsair is probably the only one I'm aware of with this bad track record

But they're still obliged to fix a bad kit

That's what the warranty is for

[frosty sinew]

Yeah

So get new ram

Then sell it

Ok

Lol

[mortal grail]

If you prefer

You wouldn't get $160 for it tho

[frosty sinew]

Woah gskill got cheap

[mortal grail]

Try $30

[frosty sinew]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KJ2rxr/gskill-tridentz-rgb-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr4-3200-memory-f4-3200c16q-32gtzr

This is cad btw

[mortal grail]

Median price for 32GB used DDR4 is roughly $30

[frosty sinew]

Not usd

[mortal grail]

Oh CAD

[frosty sinew]

Yeah

[mortal grail]

Ok whatever 30 USD is in CAD then

[frosty sinew]

300000

[storm narwhal]

4x8?

Why not 2x16

[frosty sinew]

3600 worth the money over 3200 or no

[mortal grail]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WVcgXL/timetec-pinnacle-konduit-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-pkmd4u32c16cnhb16gk2

I'd pick this

Or a used kit off FBMP

[frosty sinew]

More bandwidth

[mortal grail]

Not true

Same bandwidth

Slower in fact

[frosty sinew]

?

Oh cuz cpu controller

Nvrmind

[mortal grail]

Yes

[storm narwhal]

Huh I haven't seen that brand before

[mortal grail]

The CPU controller only has enough bandwidth per channel

[frosty sinew]

I'll prob go with a gskill kit tbh

[mortal grail]

I wouldn't

[storm narwhal]

I trust felix

[frosty sinew]

Cuz I am child and like lights

[mortal grail]

That's a lot for DDR4

[storm narwhal]

It's definitely better ram if he's reccomending it

[frosty sinew]

I'll look on fb too

[storm narwhal]

If I need new ddr4 for my eventual am4 upgrade

[mortal grail]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pXKKHx/silicon-power-xpower-zenith-rgb-gaming-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl18-memory-sp032gxlzu360bdd

[storm narwhal]

Whenever that is...

[mortal grail]

Upgrade to what

[frosty sinew]

So 2x 16 better?

[storm narwhal]

5700x3d for sure since 5800x3d is gouged

[mortal grail]

Lol

Oh right you have 3600

Valid

[storm narwhal]

Yuup

[mortal grail]

Yep

[storm narwhal]

One of these days, I swear

[mortal grail]

It's also not the type of stick to self remove it's heatsinks like g.skill ones do

[frosty sinew]

So basically any 2 x 16 that isn't corsair

Crucial?

[storm narwhal]

Its like the heatsinks for laser weapons

[mortal grail]

Cheaper the better

[storm narwhal]

Ejects when it overheats

[frosty sinew]

I don't even think crucial makes ddr4 anymore

That's why I went corsair

I had a 2x8

[mortal grail]

As long as it's cheap af DDR4 it barely matters

Cheap + works

[velvet summit]

idk if ddr4 in general is made anymore

[mortal grail]

It is

But like

[velvet summit]

maybe by some random chinese or russian or whatever company that's reusing nand or smth, but i dont think ddr4 nand is still being made?

[mortal grail]

In no way like it was

We're well into DDR5 rn

Soon DDR6

[velvet summit]

what is the market for ddr4 nowadays

who's buying ddr4 lmao

[mortal grail]

Base price or walk

[frosty sinew]

So what your saying is corsair makes worse ram than bottom of the barrel

[velvet summit]

corsair is the bottom of the barrel

[mortal grail]

I mean I wasn't, but now that I think about it...

[storm narwhal]

Corsair ram (derogatory)

[velvet summit]

the only reason why they're not worse than bottom of the barrel is because they still work, barely

[frosty sinew]

👋

Lol

[storm narwhal]

But they are the bottom

[mortal grail]

Those that work ofc

[frosty sinew]

Team group is good right

[mortal grail]

Sure

[storm narwhal]

And not the fun kind

Just the "won't even work as advertised" kind

[frosty sinew]

90 cad for 2 x 16 3600

Wtf is ddr4 4000

That's a thing

[mortal grail]

It's a thing

Not a thing you should buy

[frosty sinew]

LMAO

[mortal grail]

Stick to <3600

Higher is a gamble

[frosty sinew]

3600 worth it over 3200 or

[mortal grail]

I mean

Same price? Kinda

it's a tiny speed bump

[frosty sinew]

Doesn't matter

Or rather if you're asking anyone else for a second opinion, it does matter but in this context it doesn't

[frosty sinew]

Yep

Maybe amd will give nvidua pointers on their cpu

[tranquil pebble]

pointers programming, and cpu. funny

[storm narwhal]

Here's how you make a cpu that isn't worse than last gen

And still make it more efficient and produce less heat

[tranquil pebble]

in Intels case, if Core Ultrra doesnt off itself that is already a pretty big upgrade

[storm narwhal]

Hoping they catch up in performance next

Cause God we need competition

[tranquil pebble]

probably will. One step at a time.

[tranquil pebble]

AMD cant keep up with demand on their own, as should be obvious by what is happening.

[storm narwhal]

True

With the government behind them Intel can't die

[tranquil pebble]

We cant afford to let Intel die... remember that AMD and Intel co-license parts of x86

if either one dies, so too might x86

Depending on who gets the rights

[frosty sinew]

@mortal grail well crap

can it still be ram even if it isnt erroring

it all looks fine

[wary fjord]

Fine for now

Later it degrades then oc unstable.. then bsod.. then u blame other components other than ram.. then u buy new parts and it dint solve the problem

U decided to build a new pc

XD

[tranquil pebble]

I love stating a well known fact and have someone repeatedly try to refute that fact... and it doesn't even seem like they are trolling.

[frosty sinew]

Well something is slowing my pc down

[frosty sinew]

It's not... 140 fps in cs2 not acceptable

[tranquil pebble]

with those specs that's decent actually

[frosty sinew]

But it was way higher before

And that's literally all low

And idk if it was an update or me switching my ram

[tranquil pebble]

try switching ram back to test then

if that doesnt do it, assume update lol

[frosty sinew]

The only issue

Is that I sold it lol

[tranquil pebble]

rip

this is part of why I don't sell my parts

[frosty sinew]

What's confusing is that everything looks fine

So idk

And it also appears that no matter what setting I use on any game, the fps stay in the same range

Yeah some other forums are saying ram as well

And my forum post lines up with when I bought the ram lmao

I guess it is ram

[devout forum]

Wow suddenly X3D actually gives an uplift with the same GPU

tho balanced upscaling is like 1440p native so

[devout forum]

wait really?

Trident Z delids itself? HOW???

[sweet phoenix]

And cmos is behind gpu -_-

Igpu doesn't work either

Finally got it. For some reason taking the 8 pins out and back in worked

Istfg

Ddued. Restarted. Same. God. Damn. Crap.

I'm going to shoot my computer

Actually losing my mind

[velvet summit]

i got a glock in my rari

seventeen thirty eight

[sweet phoenix]

Reset cmos, reseated gpu.

Didn't work

[frosty sinew]

@tranquil pebble lol i removed 2 sticks of ram and its significantly better now

[sweet phoenix]

The 1080 is dead

Used the gpu i got for my friend and it booted immediately

[rancid juniper]

bro how unlucky are you?

damn

[frosty sinew]

computers are goofy

i am baffled that worked

[sweet phoenix]

the gpu was just dead

[rancid juniper]

can't be worse than printers right?

[frosty sinew]

its like over 50% more fps

[rancid juniper]

used 1080ti right?

[frosty sinew]

by removing 2 sticks

[sweet phoenix]

it had like two boots left in it and then gave out

yeah

[rancid juniper]

how much u paid for it

[frosty sinew]

welllllllll

[rancid juniper]

💀

[sweet phoenix]

it was $90, and i got a 5700xt from the same dude for 90. he repairs gpus and sells them locally

well trusted dude

[rancid juniper]

hmm

maybe he missed something

[sweet phoenix]

hes going to replace or refund for the 1080 ti but thats two hours im never getting back

i put the 5700xt in and its fine now, but jesus christ

[rancid juniper]

oof

[sweet phoenix]

really didnt feel like dealing w amd again

not until 8000 series

[rancid juniper]

well if you got any problems regarding amd just lmk

install latest radeon driver and most issues "should" be ironed out lol

[sweet phoenix]

i had a 6800xt very briefly and it worked perfectly except for specifically valorant

which at that time was my most played game and is still one of my most played

[rancid juniper]

game hates the gpu i suppose

Crucial is good

[frosty sinew]

If they made ddr4 anymore

[velvet summit]

just buy used

ram is one of those parts on a pc that very very rarely dies

so much so that nearly every ram manufacturer gives a lifetime warranty on them

(ususaly non-transferrable though)

[frosty sinew]

I can't find any used crucial 3600

Or any 2 x 16 3600 ram that isn't corsair

[weak cedar]

these ads are getting longer and longer

[nocturne flicker]

I've been getting multiple unskippables in the app recently😐

[weak cedar]

sorry you need 30min of ads to watch a 5min video

[frosty sinew]

Yes

[dusk knot]

Lol

[frosty sinew]

So new gpu and ram time

[lone mango]

pihole time

[pliant berry]

Just like cable

[velvet summit]

i almost wasted my energy by typing in linkedin.com

instead of pressing ctr alt win shift l

[silver sparrow]

i was considering the "new" quest 3s, but once i found out it just used quest 2 optical lenses with like quest 3 tech, made me instantly go nope

[random osprey]

gotta keep the cost down somehow

[velvet summit]

yeah

quest 3s is really just a refresh of the quest 2

talked about this in a different server before but they really should have just named this the quest 2+ or something like that

apparently it's noticably better than the quest 2, but if you already had a quest 2 it wouldnt be much of an improvement for the price

[random osprey]

@rigid sinew when are you guys getting the new xbox series x and will it be on sale for black friday? i need one for gta 6

only the series s is in stock

[proud jackal]

@rigid sinew I like how something I bought yesterday is $5 cheaper today

[pliant berry]

And i have just discovered that the earplugs that I bought a couple weeks ago just got a new version

Am sad

[oak gale]

i thought this was an ssd slot

i opened up and the notch is in the wrong way

what

what will happen i i boot a win 11 ssd in a pc that i dont know if its supports win 11?

[worn wave]

it explodes

[worthy meteor]

prob e key or b key only

[misty sparrow]

It will probably throw you an error

But if you look at the specs of the PC you should be able to tell if it can run windows 11

[oak gale]

its a dell latitude 5490

also

if i want to install a small ssd

will it be fine if i tape it

am just tryna recover data from an old ssd

[worn wave]

dell has win11 drivers for it so yes it should be fine

[misty sparrow]

I think it should work yes

[worn wave]

If you don't have a screw, yeah. Just make sure it doesn't get caught or crushed when closing the laptop back

[oak gale]

the laptop didn't boot at all

when using the other ssd

the ssd has 2 notches

does that mean its a diffrent type of connector

mine has only 1

What are 5700xts going for used

100?

[rigid sinew]

i fell and cut my lip this past weekend and it looks like i got in a fight 😦

do market research

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=5700xt&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=3000

around 120-130 average probably

[frosty sinew]

Usd?

Ok so 200cad is reasonable

Ok

[proud jackal]

Well you do have tats

[gilded kraken]

when you cant get a 9800x3d but your friend lives 10 minutes down the street from a microcenter

and all it cost was me buying him MH Wilds before launch

[random osprey]

but does microcenter have it in stock?

[gilded kraken]

yea

A ton of them for some reason

[dusk knot]

There's always a reason for everything

[pliant berry]

Microcenter recently has gotten pretty strict about limiting how much of those items someone can buy

[upper hawk]

https://videocardz.com/pixel/steam-deck-oled-limited-edition-white-to-launch-next-week-at-679

Sadly awfully close to the price of a Rog Ally X

[sweet phoenix]

Dw it'll drop more soonish

[frosty sinew]

Why

The dollar or the card value

[pliant berry]

I wonder when a next gen steam deck would release

I mean the current one is still very good for what most people are playing on them

[velvet summit]

https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_nkw=5700xt&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=3000
around 170-210cad depending on the model yeah

[frosty sinew]

Alr

Mines asus so prob 200

[frosty sinew]

Got 6700xt guy to 300cad

[misty sparrow]

I unironically like consoles n stuff in white when they normally ship with black colors

wish more gave you the option of what color you wanted to pick, but not as a limited edition

[mortal grail]

It could still be ye, but the ram slots, maybe how it was seated, or the ram controller on the cpu

Unfortunate that you sold the ram so quick but anyway

My next thought would be running the ram at a lower frequency

2133MHz instead of 3200

[velvet summit]

cheaper to stick with fewer skus

[misty sparrow]

yeah

or Valve could partner up with iFixit to make white cases shells for it

they have all the Steam Deck parts on their site

[frosty sinew]

After a post on pcmr

I took 2 sticks out

And over 50% increase in fps and its locked not jittering around

Like from 100fps with dips to 20 to 170 stable

And it's confusing why lol

[mortal grail]

HAHA

It was the ram!

That's 100% caused by the ram!

@frosty sinew

I was right after all!

It still passed the test and yet it was still garbage LMAO

[frosty sinew]

Yeah

But

Why

Lol

[mortal grail]

Unstable ram configuration

[frosty sinew]

Well I'm gonna buy a 2 x 16 now

And faster speed

[mortal grail]

Well that was easily fixed then

[frosty sinew]

3600 vs 3200

[frosty sinew]

Except I'm still gonna buy a new gpu lol

[mortal grail]

Really gonna amount to like, 1% improvement

[frosty sinew]

Yeah but ddr4 cheap

[mortal grail]

Ya but the gpu was working just fine after all

[frosty sinew]

But I found a 6700xt for 300cad

Soooo

I can sell my 5700xt for 200

[frosty sinew]

Damn computers

Why they gotta be confusing

Less = more sometimes

The worst part is

It's like significantly better

And changing settings actually changes fps

I can see in realtime the votes flick back and forth between upvote and downvote

No offense meant but the phrasing sounds a bit "troll-y" almost

[mortal grail]

It actually wasn't

I genuinely had a real question about it

[worn wave]

I also don't have context so

[frosty sinew]

does cas latency matter that much

like 3600 cl18 vs cl16

worth 20 bucks extra or not

[mortal grail]

Doesn't

Not worth even a dollar imo

The upvotes seem to be finally maybe coming in

LMAO

[sweet phoenix]

Just like when ai lies and you try call it out

[misty sparrow]

meanwhile, any company fanboys on reddit (nintendo, apple, etc)

[storm narwhal]

While the m1 macs and the m4 mini is finally relatively budget friendly

Only at base spec

Raise anything and its immediately stupid

[misty sparrow]

they will actively defend apple for only allowing sideloading in the EU and nowhere else

[storm narwhal]

Only safe in the EU bro

Nowhere else

[opaque sedge]

Does 16gigs of memory still cost two hundies?

[storm narwhal]

That's standard on m4 macs

Finally

Not that they're well priced last I remember

[opaque sedge]

Goddamn

Can’t believe it took em half a decade

[storm narwhal]

Apple intelligence finally forced them

[opaque sedge]

nvidia vram moment

[storm narwhal]

Almost like 8gb isn't 16gb after all huh?

What about that, apple?

Also what happened to "what's a computer"

[misty sparrow]

i used apple intelligence on someone's iphone 16

if you ask it a simple rudimentary question any other AI can effortlessly give you, it literally gives you a website link and effectively tells you "Go search this on the web yourself"

[wary fjord]

Tldr... Yall yapping.... U guys don't see 13900 14900 gives the "real world" performance

[wary fjord]

Free speech xD

[sage sluice]

Libel tho

That and all the other yap absolutely has to fall under libel at some point

[wary fjord]

But its a waste of money to fight ub

[sage sluice]

That's better

[wary fjord]

Everyone clowning it

[sage sluice]

Nobody is willing

Because their rep is down the hole

I just feel bad for people who don't know pcs

Who look at that and go "oh so never touch an amd product"

And were the tables flipped vice versa

[wary fjord]

They never said dont touch it... They trying to convince u by expressing their thoughts like gaslighting

[sage sluice]

When ub shows up as the first result for most part benchmarks

[wary fjord]

The move still on your end xD

[sage sluice]

They VERY much insinuate it lol

[sage sluice]

Also i never said they did say dont touch it tbf

[wary fjord]

I think ub is just trolling

Like its a rage bait

[sage sluice]

Ong tho

[wary fjord]

The article name calling this youtubers as disinteresting actors that trying to sway you to spend +200$ for amd and you can just buy intel on that points xD

[sage sluice]

I just hate that they probably wouldnt do it if it didnt work

[wary fjord]

Ub: you know how many tacos u can buy with 200 bucks?

Hahhaha

[sage sluice]

Because either it works to some degree or theyre HARD getting paid off

[sage sluice]

They said that 😭

[wary fjord]

Ub: u can feed 200 children by staying true to intel . XD

Ub: imagine going amd

I heard ub getting money from intel i dont know if thats true maybe not

[nocturne flicker]

4

[wary fjord]

4 only?

Thats not alot

Sad

[nocturne flicker]

Yes. From Taco Bell

[mortal grail]

Don't you live in PH Tomie

Isn't 200 like worth less than 1

[nocturne flicker]

Has one pinch of meat each tortilla

One lettuce shred each

[mortal grail]

One bean

[wary fjord]

The 200 bucks?

[mortal grail]

200php is like $3

[nocturne flicker]

3 shreds of cheese but they aren't in the tortilla but in the wrap

[wary fjord]

Ye

[mortal grail]

Costs extra if you want cooked

[wary fjord]

Buy on random Mexican stall dollar taco

XD

I saw a vid 99c pizza in new york is fake lol they charge her 2 bucks i think

I want just ground beef on my tacos xD

Just bunch of it 🤣

[mortal grail]

I watched a good friend of mine do this in Mexico on camera in front of thousands of people

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe in your fancy shmancy places with a decent variety of places to eat, but I live in rural TN, we have a Mexican restaurant under the name Don Marco's that sells mexican food for fancy chain restaurant prices

[mortal grail]

He also drank "Free goat milk"

I asked him about it afterwards

[nocturne flicker]

And then taco bell

[mortal grail]

He said "Yeah I wasn't ok"

[wary fjord]

🤣

Whats on that milk

[mortal grail]

Rule #1 of the CDC in terms of Mexico is always avoid drinking anything that didn't come in a properly sealed can or filtered on the premises

So it probably had EVERYTHING

[mental yoke]

when are they having their deals? Do you know?

What is the difference between OLED and QD-OLED?

[oak gale]

is single channel memory that bad or am i have an issue

AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING 30fps ON LOW SETTINGS ON ELDEN RING WITH AN RTX 3050

when i max out everything i lose like

5 fps

25 fps

i get 25 fps

but that is literly with max raytracing

what could be the issue here

how do i go on and diagnose it

currently am updating my intel graphics driverse , since my nvidia dirvers are up to date , but i might consider using ddu if nothing works and reinstall them

[oak gale]

Gpu utilization seems to vary alot between 70 - 99

[sinful blade]

You’ll need dual channel and not a 3050. A 3050 is bad lmao

[oak gale]

3050 mobile is all i can get bro

[sinful blade]

F

[sage sluice]

Holy crap ive been there, i live in kodak

Most of the food sucks here lol

[sage sluice]

3050 mobile changes the story a bit tbh, thats probs barely meeting min requirements

Especially with that low v ram

[oak gale]

and also from what i've seen dual channel does not explain this big of a difference in performance

[oak gale]

from youtube benchmarks a 3050 is good enough for hit 60 fps

3050 mobile

[sage sluice]

What cpu?

[oak gale]

12450h

[sage sluice]

I saw that as well

How old is the system?

[oak gale]

i just bought it a week ago

aspire 7

[sage sluice]

Are you playing in 1080p

[oak gale]

yes

[sage sluice]

At least 16 gigs of ram, even if not dual channel?

[oak gale]

8

my last system was also 8

[sage sluice]

8 works but elden ring is a ram monster from what i recall

And with low v ram

Since the mobile has half of what a normal 3050 can grab

[oak gale]

buy more ram is the solution?

[sage sluice]

I would wait until you can get the opinion of some of the better techies like felix or bacca here, but im guessing that yeah theres a bit of a ram issue here

Also v ram works differently than general ram so just buying more wouldnt make the problem exactly go away i dont think

Did you make sure the review youre basing this on was of the mobile?

Im guessing there has to be something wrong, because i could get 20fps average on my old xbox one s in elden ring when i tried it lol and its a much weaker gpu

Again, id just wait until someone else here can ask the right questions

[oak gale]

yup

i did
