if Dewine quits being an idiot for 10 minutes so Intel can get their plant built, we could get started
its crap its all crap i got a car rn that wont go because its vram is bad its crap junk
i get it i sort of get it but keep me out of that loop ok? no? oh god here we go
thoughts on red team for editing davinci?
i don't know much about amd's cards for workloads that aren't games and on how they perform
like streaming and video editing
you bought into the EV scam?
I got an RX 6600 8GB with Ryzen 7 5700X 3.4Ghz CPU to upgrade my rig
LMAO
and its coming with a free 32 GB DDR4 Corsair RAM
LMAO
“Wanna get good grades” part is unfortunately not something a lot of kids want to do nowadays
Still going to be expensive in the early stages considering labor is more expensive to corps in the states
Citizens
yeah they'll have to employ American citizens since Trump is about to get the military and deport the illegal immigrants
need 10 fans

Waiting for it
Hopefully he doesn’t get overconfident and come after documented ones or ones with a permanent residents next 💀
Yes
agreed
I think even kids who were born from illegals too. They are going after all of them

Or something like that, don’t remember entirely
(If anyone is curious on how illegal immigrants get to work typically when they come seeking asylum they are given a sorts of temporary social security number and a work permit or employment authorization card which serves as their identification)
Basically they aren’t messing around
Can't wait for the food shortages
his Homeland Security dude said he won't separate families, they can all go together.
Ah so it is true
lets not get into politics here

That was kind of funny ngl
My fault twin
The way he said it so bluntly
10 fans or 6
why not just run an AC vent through it like that one guy did
I’m curious if gasoline will get tariffs or not
Pretty sure a lot of the fuel in the US comes from outside
unless we tariff our own oil, I dont think so
maybe at first, until we replenish our stockpile and get it flowing through our refineries
10 fans looks nicer
Nice hope you enjoy it
When are you making your build?
Christmas
Our gasoline is made using a mix of foreign and domestic petroleum
Look what I got so far look at my about me
Most imported petroleum being from Canada
To the tune of over 4 million barrels a day
ev users dont think charging increases light bills? i dont im so over done
North Dakota is swollen with oil though, we're about to let it flow
charging your EV at home probably gets you a 1k electric bill
it really depends on the circumstances
You like what I got so far
I'm not a fan of evs either but y'all are exaggerating the downsides
We are at the highest rate of oil production ever. We still import millions of barrels a day
I wonder how much of that is used in energy production for the grid
You have the final list yet? 🤔
People in the 50s used to say that the future would be atomic power
It's still a future in 2024
if she doesn't know what by grabthars hammer is shes to young for you bro

Twi...
Yes like I said in my about me
If I have an ev with a 72kwh battery, which is the cheapest offering on a 2024 EV Mustang, and I charge it up 100% at the average US energy price of 14 cents a kwh, it'd cost about $10. It gets a similar range as my 2015 Escape. The Escape costs triple that to fill with gas 
ppl put 100k miles on cars in 5 years and im like how? do you wake up at 4 am and drive to work for 3 hours lol
not to mention solar panels
that could bring the cost down drastically if you're really cheap with electricity
the math just doesn't math
tho you would be at the mercy of the weather
The only downside is that states charge EV registration fees to claw back extra money
Interesting so it is possible to see negative effects initially
TN does $250 or something
for me the biggest disadvantage of EVs are current battery tech
i think evs are at most for people who travel 60 miles per day at most, and at that rate *pulls out jiant math book
I mean
60 x 365 x 5
for a car reliant society like the US
most people probably do travel that little
🤷♂️
Also i’m a bit confused abt inflation like i keep hearing peeps saying inflation needs to go down even if it goes down dont goods and services stay in the same price from previous increases or still be increasing
your car is out of warrenty did you want to extend it?
So what would the phenomenon of reducing the price of goods and services be called?
I mean
Deflation is when prices slide across the board
your money would be worth a lot less in a couple months if inflation keeps on skyrocketing
the guys we have to work on your car are.. totatly.. reputatiple probably
inflation is good to a certain extent
People want deflation without realizing the harm deflation does
Makes sense
dude dont talk about me in the 3rd 3rd person x0
yalls cars should go 300k but 109k trade it in works math maths
Now i see why politicians dont explicitly state or talk about reducing the costs or outright mention deflation
But if its high
nobody's gonna have a good time
yeah yeah cockys bad fur day runs on a n64
I tried it jus now and it booted up successfully thanks, I didn’t know how easy but weird the cmos jumper technique was
really love the aesthetic btw
Deflation is generally a sign of economic contraction in a normal economy, meaning large scale drawbacks in economic activity
whats stoping me from postin the most computer setup i can from google lol
what is this guy on about
the only rgb in my case is my ram and gpu😂
I like the subtle mix
A small amount of inflation is healthy, the problem is when wages don't keep track with inflation
I really like the sorta stripey aesthetic you got with the LF2 and the motherboard
and the gpu to some extent
oh ye I love it
sexy computer gaming set up with legs
I wonder if i still have pics of my old build
VERY GOOD
glad your problem is solved

my phone wont let take a picture of my computer if my legs in it
nerds are so both visicous and cute lol
Oh..cool cool
hey JP
Hey compooper
I fixed my car
oh
And I'm currently working
break time over get back to work
Never
gonna tell the boss smh
i feel like trump might have incoming trade war on exports and that should effect parts pricing
but really amazon pricing 40 dollers for timing chains should match autozones 300 dollers for same thing?
this is a computer parts thing which graphcis cards went up by what precent in covid lol
i just want a microphone so i can drunk karokee
do u think 50 series gpu prices will be affected?
oh jeeze i think cars after 2019 might start requireing a paid for pass code to access obd port to protect the manufacter rick?
dont get me started on the trash thats created by the world savers all i want is a microphone for drunk karokee xD
so like i dont wanna spend over 40 bucks, but like i feel like 100 bucks is just like microphone?
do you think santa clause will bring me a microphone for when im drunk xD
This is chillin at my Walmart
If the tariffs go into place, yes
The all 7600 build
do you hear what i hear? my kids wanted a ps5 for christmas? heres a nintendo switch and also your car broke .
i scaned it out it sayd the vram is bad, replace computer
Kinda tempting to look into
yah yall keep on with that stuff but im pretty sure its illegal for me to make my own car, probably
Even more if it was $600-700
cops pull me over >.> your .. what is that its running on dual rtx 4090 tis warter cooled and idk your face a littl ebit
Walmart has some coupons
dont forget this is for newegg
i normally order cheap stuff off amazon but what i do isnt' really revelavent
stop that we all just trying to get buy x0
Nice
I don't want to be political. But you're right.
so you got your parts for cheap now what you gonna fix it yourself? and there is the problem
i dont need need doctor to tell me i been rode hard and put up wet
so a microphone that dont echo my voice thats what im lookin for
i might use it once or thrice ever 4 months
if it tears up i aint gonna blame ya! i just want somethin that works
It isn't illegal to make your own car, you just need to get it inspected to be road legal
Which means you need operational indicator lights, a license plate, you need to get a vin for the car, and headlights and such
OC ram to 7600mhz too
Not in florida 
(Not sure abt the specifics but people seem to go all in with mo restraint on vehicle modifications there)
Modding a car and building a completely new car from the chassis up is different
Car mods use an existing certified car frame
This also why most prototype/concept cars that are road legal use existing frames
Gotta make sure your car doesn't fall apart like Lego if it hits a pebble
I’m about to check it out
Triple 7600
Why the ..
These rumors are getting out of hand 😭
Holy sht this case is so big
No effing shot will amd release a card near 4080 levels of performance for 400 hundred bucks
It’s so big
100%
Thats pretty good
Super solid build
The 3080 can handle 1440p pretty well right
Ain't too bad at all
Most games yea
Be wary of the vram intensive ones tho
Yea but the case is soooooo big
@craggy shoal meanie
Ima use a Rubik’s cube as a anti sag thing
How tall is a Rubik's cube
Yes
I… have a 4070super
Which has 12gigs…
Not sure how its going to support the GPU in the main 16x slot
If it works it works
...3080 is a 12gb card, no?
It is
What game is 12gb at 1440p a limiting factor?
It don't work
It was fixed later on barely consumed 8 gigs
Silent Hill 2
MH wilds
Any UE5 game ffs
Pretty sure bmw has low vram consumption
A few
At high/ultra settings
Which is just sad
Rubik’s cube Tetris
What's bmw?
UE5 is cool in theory but 💩 in actuality (so far)
I’ll figure out what works
The fact that there's last gen gpus that can't run multiple titles this year is hilarious
Black myth wukong
Ah
Multiple cubes then
That game doesn't use much surprisingly
So true
Like a 4x4 and a 3x3 I think
Cdpr is giving up their red engine in favor of it right when it finally became good with phantom liberty
Pretty sure pojject orion is gonna be ue5
It's all fun and games till I see my 7800xt at the minimum system requirements late 2025

My 4070 super too
Maybe not minimum
But recommended
It's over midrange bros
It's time to pack up and buy RTX 5090 titan
Performance reminds me of the ridiculous rumors abt the 8800xt spreading rn 
I dont want to invest on another controller just for my phone xD onscreen will do for now
I'm planning to upgrade whenever I have a decently paying job
What's really depressing is seeing upscaling/dlss/fsr included in reccomended specs
And then this 2080 ti is going to my friend
They’re getting out of hand with the expectations tbh
And i thought my mom’s expectations for me was too much
As the first comment said, it's too good to be true
That's wild
Id say add $75 to each of these
The only way I see this being true is if they are making those prices with the expectation of Trump enacting the tariffs
75-150
7900xt performance at 450 might be nice tho
Razer kishi
Also I don't understand why the 7700xt perf is not comparable
Its rumors
I wanna do gamesir one because they have this game fusion app thats like winlator but better it does gta v at 100+ fps
Cant let it get to our heads
8800xt reaching 4080 perf for a low price is an insane fever dream that might kill you
😭
Why is fish tank soooooooooo big?
With a heart attack
Overkill
Not fever dream amd release is just last year Nvidia perf most of the time xD
Insane optimization
Too slow to catch up smh
Dual chamber basically the back side comprises of a good portion of the case in order to house a thick af psu in there
Good for beginners tho cuz easy af cable management
But lower price tho
I mean like ITS SO BIG TALL AND STUFF EVERYTHING
It’s next to a Rubik’s cube
Dual chamber gang
But will it have 4080 ray tracing performance?
I DIDNT THINK ITS THAT BIG
Dont be shy show us how it looks like from the front
buys big case
big case is big
OMG THIS CASE IS SO BIG
Too high of a bar bro
That's unlikely
I promise i wont fat shame the case
It looks small there
NgreedAi forever
Dual chamber big boii
I just like the h9 elite so I got it
Not home
Battlemage b770 reaching 4070 super levels of perf makes me a bit skeptical
Thing looks small
Hope it's true but I'm hitting copium
Wow!
It wont matter case is a case
Reminds me of my 4070super in my old 903 air no presence whatsoever 
Wait
Just hurry up and build
I now have to get the nzxt kraken….
I can’t get some random aio I like matching brands😪
I kind of want an aio ngl
Look at the white build
You should they nice
Was thinking of grabbing a thermalright one but i really have no particular need for it
Maybe if i become unusually and unnaturally fortunate enough to win a lottery
That’s a 4070???
4070super
Why is it so small?
Thermals are pretty good on it so doesn’t need a big heatsink
Get amd rx 8950 xt super
I need a big one so it looks good in this BIG CASE
I don’t want it looking empty that’s why
Is the gigabyte 4070 ti super big?
Wait no
Depends on the model but pretty sure the 4070tis are respectable size
I mean asus
Tuf?
Yeah they’re big
Will this take up a good amount of space in the case
Check the measurements
What’s bigger usually tuf or gigabyte
It should look fine
I want a big gpu that’s why
Lemme ask chargpt
I may get gigabyte
Why silver?
Only blue rgb?
my new rig
Did you look at the dimensions of the case before buying it
installing games so likely not getting around to playing tonight but its sold rig so far
also the 1440P monitor images are so much more crisp
then the 1080p Ihad before
wait the alienware is the new rig?
ohh I figured you meant the parts were new but you reused the case loll
Hopfully it doesn't overheat first
when I get another new pc or something
Their cases historically have been crap for that, but from cusory looks it seems to have enough ventilation
lol @storm narwhal will be playing like on high or something mabey ultra and cap frames to 30-60 with vysnc on... I do it with any gaming setup to help extend longetivity plus
your eye cant see more then 30-60 FPS anyways
I gotta wear glasses too but it's not a heavy prescription
but 30-60 FPS is the idle range anyways for gaming
you only need like 120-150 frames if compettive gaming

fair
if it's a visual kinda game then yeah, 60 is fine
I just usually play more shooters so I set above 60
I can see a difference between 60 and 120
When I got my first high refresh monitor (170hz) I couldn't believe how smooth the games were
It's really hard to go back to 60fps
is raytracing even worth it ?
Nahh
Ngl 30fps shouldn't be a thing for games anymore
It's still a gimmick
4080 Super should be able to handle it at 40-80 frames per second
Not many games use RT and you have to use upscaling and perhaps framegen to get any decent results with RT
Like Cyberpunk is doing
Running RT on pure native is still not worth it
Yep
Ray reconstruction + DLSS 3 + frame gen
Actual software gimmicks
Ray reconstruction does help with performance if you have path tracing turned on
But yeah it's not something I'd have on when I'm playing lol
I toggle the RT option and nothing else on because it has no effect on performance
Thanks, Steve
There are very few games where raytracing actually looks nice
Real
24fps is when images start being fluid
this is pretty much the minimum for fluid motion, which is why many movies and films were at that framerate, because it was the cheapest framerate for video
games used to be rendered at 30fps because of hardware limitations, but once it became powerful enough to support 60, most people switched to that
30 to 60 is a fairly huge leap due to the percieved latency between input and visual, as there is around 17ms less latency on 60fps compared to 30fps from just the display, before you add the input latency from peripherals and the computer, and the display board which often also had extra latency
if you were just watching a video though, it's less noticeable if you switch between 30fps and 60fps
tl;dr it's not about how many fps you see, but how much latency between each frame there is
Damn, good analysis
It's something you definitely feel
Moreso than really like, see? I can't really put it into better words than 343
me when I see myself die in higher fidelity
Soon everything will be RT as developers have less and less time to make games
I need 890fps 4k just to suck in COD
Concord 2
LOL
💀
You disgust me
The game that shall not be spoken

Already made 💀


back again to ask the same stupid question
anyone got any good laptop reccomendations for vr games
tryna get those black friday deals
Can a 4070 TI super and a 7700X play in 4K great
It could, theoretically
some games will push it to its limits though
I'm really looking forward to us playing again 
Wdym
Cyberpunk?
For sure
Depending on if they push graphics or are unoptimized or both
Need some storm
Definitely yes when maxed out
WAAAAAAA
Yeah
Would a 4080 super struggle
It will super struggle
"only 90 degrees lezgooo"
Hissssss
Gottem
4k is hard to run
Cyberpunk maxed out with path tracing n stuff enabled on 4K will drag a 4090 to its bare knees i think
not really
gaming laptops are often considerably cheaper than workstation laptops with something like "nvidia graphics" (formerly nvidia quadro) so many people who need workstations end up buying gaming laptops to save like $1000 on a laptop that performs like exactly the same
ong
the quadro tax
@velvet summit and Steam Decks are more affordable then gaming laptops and offer just as good performance and are more portable
just as good? that's a bit of a stretch
they are definitely way more affordable though
yeah they're not equivalent to gaming laptops
Steam Decks and stuff like it cannot run VR stuff
they're cheaper for sure
5090
I’m poor
Just don't be poor
That's patently untrue
my gaming laptop would beat a steam deck in any game any day in terms of performance
Hisssss
real
And you can do games literally anywhere you go pretty much
I genuinely want a steam deck
if i were just gaming though, i would probably prefer the steam deck, but a gaming laptop can do much more than just gaming
especially since it lacks a physical keyboard, and the screen is tiny
depends on your fan curves and your cooler design
well mines is sitting at 28-32C
at moment idle with only downloading games going on and browsing web
you can idle from anywhere from sub ambient with like a chiller
or idle at like 80c
idle temps do not matter at all unless you're somehow thermal throttling while idle
then that would concerning
will see what temps are like once I start gaming possibly tonight or not got so much stuff to transfrer over to pc and games to download
tonight is more just setting pc up
Technically you can do some laptop things on the steam deck too
if you're going to do thermal testing, do it under full load
Desktop mode and runs linux so you could install programs
yeah definitely, though not as good of an experience if you're actually trying to do work stuff though lmao
regardless this pc will last 4-5 years pretty easily my old Dell desktop giving to parents still works good
You'd need to at least bring a mouse lol
I just was wanting more modern setup with latest gpu
and probably an external monitor
i wouldnt want to use the on screen keyboard
Oh right Steam deck has the docking station
I just want a set up at this point

is the on screen keyboard not great for actual longer typing sessions
@sinful blade best get on it before holiday rush.
I’m broke:(
a mouse is honestly less important, i think in order to work on the steam deck you'll need at least an external monitor and a keyboard as minimum
with all the holiday stuff
i mean, would you rather use an on screen keyboard to write like 10 paragraphs, or would you rather have even just a normal membrane keyboard
lmao
I hope people leave out some snacks and water/soda this holiday season
that is best way to treat your carrier or any delivery driver
do you get do you get it do you? do you hast mesh
I almost got into a subcontracting FedEx job
Before they told me day before I started that I wouldn’t be able to leave in an emergency, call off at all in case of emergency, and I was required to get their tracking app to be used even off hours
might not be writing like a 20 page essay for most work but you might be writing at least a few paragraphs, whether that is for answering some emails or filling in some forms or whatever
$800 a week
Fair
mean while i make existance per week lol nah you got me fam
can it run vr games tho
No
Its a steam deck lol
idk nevre used one
Are you high Graidin
Ah that's fair
technically speaking it probably can run beat saber at most
You saw it
its not weird for vr to be out for 10 years and no one expericed vr
wha
not really that weird
Just racist
also google cardboard used to exist and i think a bunch of people have at least tried that
but i am one
Doesn’t matter what you are
That’s just a straight up derogatory term my guy
so how much space you all got on your PC ? I got 10TB in total 6TB SSD space total and 4TB HDD
i never played vr so like doom 64 is good in vr? i want my first time to be special
it is.
pretty sure it was a 2d game with some clever tricks that made it look 3d
bro if your gonna trap me in your basement i got 3 hours
honestly
as someone who owns a high end (if it was like 4 years ago) vr headset, vr games are still kinda wack lmao
most mini pcs are not really worth the price tbh
i would think skyrim would be the preimum vr experseicne
Not really
Some are but
remember when we thought two graphics cards meant more gooder?
One gets to get adjusted to a nvme
Gets you set if in the future you’re in the market still.
in a sense, it somewhat was when it was implemented good enough
except it was more expensive and barely any games actually used it in a way that kept the screen from tearing
What do you mean?
but they're like, barely any more expensive than a hdd pretty much
Got wife a 512GB for like $20
its amazing what 20 dollers gets these days
Mini PCs(or nucs) have 0 upgrade paths for proper builds
technically 1 upgrade path for some (storage)
sometimes 2 (sodimm ram)
20 dollers is nothing if you tip 10 percent at a resturant but if you spend 20 dollers on a computer part 😮
yeah sometimes they have 2 nvme slots and 2 removeable sodimms
this is why I got one but tbh I don't take it out and about much since I usually run out of room in my bags with all the camera equipment
bro got that coal gate total lol
and only a select few even use oculink
which gives you better performance vs USB4 for a GPU
but that takes up one nvme slot
So your upgrades are pretty limited
rip
my first computer my dad had was cyrix proccers and it crossed intel and amd and i had no business learning that
back in the day computer games wouldn't run well if you didn't have good computer
back in today, computer games wouldnt run well if you didn't have a good computer
im a teenage mutant ninja tutrle for 3 hours if that helps lol
Real
is it the temu special brand?
yes probably its not like i know how to make power supplies
Anyone have any ideas why a laptop would just stop charging work a perfectly good charger? My main laptop stopped charging a few weeks ago and now my gaming laptop just shut off mid game and won't charge.
Two laptops both with working chargers tested with multimeter not charging or lighting up charger LED indicator
Odd they both went out within weeks of each other
i have a laptop 10th gen i5 if that helps, am i supposed to dust that thing?
That is either one of the craziest coincidences I've ever seen or something is wrong with your electrical
I would say something in the laptop just shorted out but it happening twice is extra odd
Yeah...
I'm perplexed how 2 would go out, the gaming one was only 1.5 years old and cost about $2000
Check your outlet or try a different circuit or smth idk
They had surge protection too
Though tbh I'd expect the power cord to take the brunt of any weird electrical issue
I have surge prot at the power box and the power strip
It WOULD be my luck this year
TBF most power strips have garbage surge protection
But w/ whole home surge protection that should be enough by itself
Going to learn how to test the motherboard on a old craptop and see what I can find
They're both supplied proper power just no charge or LED indicator
Hella bummed about the gaming laptop -_-
Between jobs and mot much work here, worst time to lose both laptops lol
trying to convince people that are hardcore intel to not get the 285k is just the most fun ive had in months
I would be hugely surprised if somehow both died for no reason because.... Well....
That would be certainly be inauspicious
Must be a ghost
Yeah I feel the same but what..
Who did you offend in your past life
Some one with a lot of power apparently
I'm nervous because I need a new laptop but don't want to lose another gaming laptop
Ill try a new outlet and a different surge protector, but when my gaming laptop died it was just out of no where turned off full charged mid game
Then never charged again, nothing else like tv monitors or anything we're effected
Try plugging directly into the wall, in a different outlet to test ig
Also TBF most power adapters are made to be able to handle some minor power surges, so with your whole home surge protector, you don't even need to use an additional surge protector
Other laptop I was using adjustable charger with a loose fitting and it gradually stopped charging off and on adjusting the plug I assumed it was just loose but new OEM charger isn't charging it
And the fitting is perfect
I tried all the outlets
They're getting power fine via multimeter test
Laptops just aren't using it
I'm a hardware noob so lots of trading

hey i was wondering is this a good deal for 2k? https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-000Z-001W8
i know nothing about computers
eh too expensive
Honestly, not the worst value for a prebuilt I've ever seen, though with that price you can easily get a 4080s while still getting aesthetic parts if you diy
^^^
This is going to be me
i have no idea what any of that means but its good right
how tough am i? i play minecraft on the pentium 4 net burst if i could i could just run this under this under some hot water tldr
bros playing heros bg
so that means i should get it? i dont really care about aesthetics i just dont wanna get scammed
What?
thats the game on the monitor
dang my bad
If you're willing to spend like 4 hours of your time, you can get way better bang for your buck if you build the PC yourself
Bacca or someone can help you pick good value parts in #building-and-recc-chat
how good is skytech?
And if you ever get stuck with anything, you can always ask questions here
doesnt a windows key cost 100 dollers?
i dont think i wanna build it, i dont trust myself so should i just get it
Kinda
not too bad i think
iirc skytech was aight
nice
Glass front panel though
want an iron steel side panel?
how bout this then
no ones happy till you get that for 300 dollers
true
Average day in pcmr:
it isnt bad but if you wouldn't mind refurb, bacca sent this one the other day https://www.ebay.com/itm/266989280998?

$100 more for pretty much the same parts is meh
the black friday sales are about to start!
bro can definitely get this
but, the 400mhz increase in ram 😡
Real
but do you need a new mouse pad 😮
Should've increased the price by 400
when im alone working in the day sleeping at night i think about mgs what a thrill
did you tourge your mother board down to proper nanmeter spec, why did you ask me to lol
yall are cops so i be back maybe idk
not bad
What are the exact cables used here for rgb because the part without looks like normal cables
Don't bother looking for the strimmers since those are like $100 each
Go back on sale?
WHAT
WHY
Maybe not sure I don’t buy them
FOUND SOME FOR 50
What gpu?
nice

Install deez-
Probably a 30 series considering the fact its using regular 6+2 pcie connectors for power
Oh
just plug it in all the way
(Exaggerated but its a pain)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl just released and it is built on Unreal Engine 5. UE5 used to be this super exciting thing, because we knew the games using it would look quite incredible. So many studios are switching to using it partially because of this reason. However, as time has gone on... UE5 has started to become a bad omen.
This do...
Turning 4k cards into 1440p and 1440p cards into 1080p and 1080p cards into…. Emotional dmg
Ue5 games making me wish i got a 4080 super instead

For years, I’ve been eating kebabs from street corners, especially during my student days. But recently, ...
I got a 3080 10 gig, just kept the game on recommended settings and pull 55-72 fps on average in stalker 2. Its not as bad as they make it seem
1440p ultra setting too
how i'd do it is set game to low graphics settings and carefully change each setting while checking the framerate
The 3080 is like 5 years old right?
thats when i can tell which setting is the heavy hitter
4 years old now
Heavy hitter like dee-
wiating for the 5080 to replace it
I will complete it right before i die
Seems to run fine for me usually
😡
nuts and bolts
asking for trouble
Pretty sure the 4070tis performs like 15-20% better than my 4070s
Might be game dependent tho
Probably better for vram heavy games tho
it will be funny if crysis 4 ends up being less resource intensive than most UE5 games
Which will be ue5 games cept a select few like bmw
Apparently witcher 4 is gonna be ue5 too
Red engine is in the grave now
The community treated it too harshly…
wild that many companies are dumping their own engine
dont care about bethesda tho, their engine is trash
only upside is modding support
Modding reminds me
Valorant is currently on ue4
Whatever engine they used for the pc enhanced version of Metro exodus 😍
Pretty sure most esports titles use unreal engine
Apparently Fortnite uses unreal engine 5
its been a long time since i last played
But i assume its a heavily optimized version tho
And considering the simple graphics
yeah
you'd be surprised. I get worse FPS in Fortnite than I do Apex, and I would argue Apex looks better
Or is it very gpu bound
that would depend on the game more than engine
power of the source engine
(MODIFIED)
heavily, for titanfall and apex
With x3d cpus being available every $150 very likely to own one anyway
newegg is just the goat they enabled me to save from both taxes and get a cheaper discount because of their gift cards discounts
I can run apex at mostly medium settings, native 1440p, TAA OFF, and still get 165fps. Some dips when there's a lot going on but no stutters.
thank you newegg
$150 5700x3d
$300 7600x3d
$480 9800x3d
Yh seems 15-20% is abt right not sure if its worth 250 extra tho
Also the epic or max quality preset is wild 💀
In stalker 2
If you play modded vanilla will eventually feel inferior. Vanilla is fine in general, though the dungeons imo are repetitive
I just find that I usually don't have to do that many cuts to achieve my 90fps target
It is pretty much always the same traps, most of the time it consists of similar enemies and etc
These usually are the presets reserved to scale well with future hardware
Also the storylines can be a bit eh. The civil war imo is very barebones
Yeah i heard that these max settings used to be smth that people left alone back in the past cuz nothing really could handle them
When we will look back at games like cyberpunk with gpus of 2030 we will appreciate that things were pushed and the game keeps up visually
Especially after experiencing some of the mods trying to restore concepts and cut content of the Civil War content
Right many people still haven’t experienced path tracing properly
👀

I will be crying again in 2030 while going thru my dusty old steam library

Our choomba
I'll be crying over the fact that by 2030 I still wouldn't have played half of my library 
You were tempted by the devil
Known as sales
All the money wasted
Tbf bundles bloat the game count
Before Humble Bundle became bleh
I am the youngest and won't have kids. Gonna have to give my library to my sister's eventual kiddies when I am old and grumpier
New steam family sharing is pretty sweet
Oh right this reminds me of a story i read in a reddit comment about how in a funeral of a kid who died his cousins came up to his parents and asked if they could have his steam account
Pretty messed up
I play my games as I buy them
And i thought those inheritance stories in movies and tv shows were bad
Honestly smart
Steam Wills
4080s and 4080 at same fps it odd
I do have quite a few unfinished games though
I give to her my Steam account, under the condition that she has to keep all my foil trading cards and the same profile picture 
Pretty sure the 4080super was just a reskinned 4080 meant to replace it at a lower price
With barely any performance difference
It is marginally better at a lower MSRP
Meant to appease the value minded reviewers by throwing them a tiny bone
4080 is actually a very good deal for specific use cases. Gaming isn't one of them
heck I've had a stupid windows update pending
& I tried restart & shutdown
but neither will actually apply the update
I think it's because I created a local account without a password lol
lol wait this begs a question... is a license obtained to play a video game even transferrable by will or devise?
this is what AI gen is good for

my pc runs so much cooler with chimney airflow
the previous configuration I did months ago was not good lol
my 6900 xt runs cooler under full load than my 5700 xt did idle lol
86.8C hotspot max; 69.8C GPU; & 78C memory junction at 874w lol
tbf that's the spike power
Bruh how is it consuming that much power
HOF
I assume the 422w to the right is the average draw?
If my rig consumed that much breakers would be going off here
yes
Hhmmmm
man wtf
1kw PL
this guy making his pc into a microwave
Damn how much better does it perform over regular 4090?
+5fps
a 15A breaker will give you 1800w max & 20A gives you 2400w
Jesus
I’m assuming you have a 20A?
not bad
At that rate with future hardware would you have to upgrade your home electrical system too 😭
raaaaahhhh
which benchmark is this?
or just run 240v to your PSU instead of standard 120
Passmark
it's more efficient anyway
passmark, i had to use that instead of userbenchmark
Bro is prepared 😭
I figured when I tried to add new components on the compare portion of the site and half the products were unidentified lol
you should've read their reviews
they are unhinged
9800x3d review for example
most notable one: 7800x3d
When do u guys think pcie 5.0 will be the standard?
I can't imagine how much ratings went downhill after those releases
literally next year
we already got PCIE 5.0 boards
ngl im kinda surprised that my z690 board supports PCIE 5.0
i thought it can do 4.0 max
Could be just the nvme slot
my old cpu was dried lol
check again
Mine only supports 5.0 for the nvme
I have no idea how much dust got behind my aio
PCIE is backwards compatible tbf
ye
You should be able to put a 4.0 drive in it
So if i plug in a pcie 5.0 gpu into a 4.0 slot? It’ll still work?
honestly i'd be slightly wary of the x8 gpus
Oh wait for the drives
Of course it will
ye it’ll still work
mine has 4.0 and 5.0
iirc, installing two pcie 5.0 nvmes under the same controller might limit the pcie slot to x8
is that true?
You'd only get PCIE 4.0 bandwidth but it would work
So if i ever upgrade to a 5.0 gpu i wont need a new mobo?
NVMEs only use 4 lanes
ah
So you can install 4 under a controller with 16 lanes and get full performance
lol or run a 30A circuit?
chill
Reminds me i only have one nvme slot left
Bro is prepared for his grandkids at this point
liquid metal
Wait by controller
Do you mean like the carrier cards that you slot into a 16× slot?
or just repurpose the plug for your dryer or oven ez
controller
“Kids this house can power a nasa computer use it well and get top charts in benchmark competitions”
Elaborate
one moment
Ggoods will be like
I saw this diagram from the X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 manual @devout forum
look at top left
i think it only affects the second PCIE slot
Looks like everyone is getting the 4 lanes
I was shocked when i learned that that data communication in a pc is all related to pcie 
Initially i thought it was just gpu related
crazy how much the mobo chipset controls
But of course those lanes are going to be slower
Turns out it was everything
yea pretty much
Everything is pcie
Do mobile or arm chips use pcie?
Or is it different for them?
Well laptop ARM kinda has to
Imagine if phone chips do
Since PC devices need PCIE
Guys is ot safe if I oc'd my gpu and undervolted my cpu?
But that's a specific case
Turns out i’ve been holding pcie in my hands for half my life
Worst thing that happens is you'll have it crash occasionally if you did it too aggressively
But it's hardly worth the effort lately
What GPU is it?
4080 super
I gained like 8ish fps, got a pretty good score on 3d demo so I'm happy
Gains are gains lol and it was more for 4k is all I did
What is a diagram like this called again?
Trying to look one up for phones
Block diagram iirc
Realized it's only okay in 4k lol the oc helped, but frame gen is kicking my ass
What's your CPU?
Holy fu-
7800x3d, the undervolt was clutch because it put my clock speed to 5050mhz
Isnt the boost clock alr at 5ghz?
P much
That was w pbo on, and negative fan curve to 30
I don't really see a point to undervolting a 7800X3D personally, but each to their own
I mean a point other than benchmark scores
What game and resolution?
Def helped me out with my modded minecraft lmao
Are u testing this on?
After i set it to that I got a pretty good run in hogwarts legacy, no crashing
Cuz on benchmarks my own 7800x3d reaches 5ghz without even having to enable pbo
Gpu is now at 2850 mhz, and like 12000 memory
that is so crusty lmfao
My would only clock at 4200 iirc, that's what my MB said was all it could do
You mean tasty right?
dis good?
Now i’m confused…
It's like 192gb right?
theoretically you might even be able to use a m.2 to pcie adapter then plug that into a pcie to pci adapter and use a gen 5 ssd on a pci slot
crunchy
Gpu would only clock at 2535 iirc, i didn't gain much from the gpu OC
Cronch
I'm on 64gb
Wtf
Did ur 9800x3d get delayed?
too strong bro
Bro is pc goku
they are shipping it from indiana so its slow
tested daily too. I can squeeze 6400c28 & 2200FCLK

Guys
I think I’m illiterate
we know.
burned
Also, could my oc cause issues w frame gen or is frame gen just bad rn
when CAMM.2 takes over, I'm gonna miss being able to get A-die dirt cheap & it being really good relative to anything else
these Klev DIMMs are like $80/each now I think
Cause I did have a bit of screen tearing only w frame gen on and i did the whole 9 yards in troubleshooting that besides reverting my OC
they're 5600c46-46-46 XMP but A-die is A-die
Hawt
What are gonna use it for?
