definitely nowhere near matte lmao

i think it's full gloss because of how clearly you can see the reflection of the fan light

[upper hawk]

For Ideal experience just turn the lights off during usage

Goes for both matte and gloss

[mortal grail]

Semi gloss

Yeah at most

It's gloss

[proud jackal]

full gloss

if semi gloss the reflection would at least be somewhat blurry

[lone mango]

[misty sparrow]

alright fellas, needed a new mouse for the longest time now

so i'm getting a mchose g3

not the one with 8k polling rate though

dont know why anyone would need 8k polling rate to begin with

[random osprey]

you dont, as of right now theres really no need for 8k polling or even 4k polling

1k or 2k is good

[proud jackal]

my 8k polling keyboard comes in this week

[wraith fern]

you know that's stupid right

[misty sparrow]

well damn i have to pay $10 on shipping for mchose

[wraith fern]

1k is enough]

[misty sparrow]

wonder if there is an alternative to it that's about the same price

[wraith fern]

anything else just adds lag

i'd almost say 8k is worse than 2k or 1k

[misty sparrow]

normally i would've gotten G305 but i really need something that lasts

[proud jackal]

its a wooting 80he

[sinful blade]

HAHAHA

[wraith fern]

i see. im grabbing a boog75

its HE so same dif

its just a bit nicer

[misty sparrow]

its just a rock

what is the joke

[sinful blade]

You don’t know

[nocturne flicker]

In Skyrim there is an item that blasts "A new hand touches the beacon" very very loudy when you pick it up that leads you on a quest

[misty sparrow]

as a child i yearned for the mines

[tranquil pebble]

started a new Minecraft world. Got 2 stacks of coal, a stack of iron and 7 emeralds on day 1 rofl

[velvet summit]

I once found diamonds before I found coal

Was on 1.12.2 at that time

That was the last version I played before taking a hiatus off Minecraft after so many years of playing it

I only got burnt out from Minecraft literally like the month it came back into popularity

Tfw people asking me to play Minecraft but I don't feel like it anymore after all those years of pretty much exclusively playing it

Honestly it's kinda sad how I've played literally over 10k hours of Minecraft yet haven't actually built anything cool

I just ADHD and then start doing other stuff after trying to make something for a few hours

My hyper fixation doesn't last enough to finish any projects 💀

[random osprey]

me with my 5 year old build world that barely has anything cause i keep making servers for my friends

[velvet summit]

Lmao

I have a bunch of worlds

Many lost due to me not really caring about them

I have a lot of "testing" worlds of me just seeing what modpacks had to offer

My rlcraft testing didn't last long

I went on long enough to test the physics and never went back on

That was one of the world's I didn't bother moving to my new pc

I did some calculations and I probably have like 16k hours in minecraft

I was locked in

Actually

I know where a few hundred of those hours went

It was on a skyblock server

My goal was to build a platform that spanned the entire build area for each plot in the skyblock world

[random osprey]

skyblock and creative plot servers hand 13-15 year old me in a choke hold

[velvet summit]

I spent so many hours building a huge platform

I never built anything on top of the platforms asides from some stuff to make the materials for the platform

I do the most boring crap in Minecraft in hindsight lmfao

[random osprey]

i used to do that as well so i know how big the borders of the skyblock was. halfway id build a mob grinder just for mob drops and after building the platform and lighting it, then id build actual farms

[velvet summit]

Literally just making a stone platform 💀

[velvet summit]

Oh yeah I did also make a few mob farms

One of them ended badly

I put skeleton spawners and creeper spawners on the same thing

Skeleton shot creeper

💥

It was a bit disastrous

Poor design on my part since I didn't follow any guides for a spawner design

[random osprey]

i used to use skeleton spawners in the nether to spawn wither skeletons for a farm and then sell off the wither skeleton heads for profit since the servers back then never allowed you to spawn the wither

[velvet summit]

It was a 2x2 drop area, and not a huge drop for the spawners, and we had mcmmo on that server

Oh the server I was on allowed the wither

That also punched a few holes into my platform

[velvet summit]

But it was such a vast platform that if it were made of snow, a game of spleef would like never end

I had to rack my brain to remember the name lmao

channel for laptops recos?

am in college, need a work laptop for light video editing, would prefer screen quality over gaming. Something thin and light would be nice. $600-800

Been doing a bit of research, budget MSI laptops seem to have quality/durability issues especially its hinge, so yeah that's something I noted

[craggy shoal]

Man why is it always MSI

I have two different MSI users come in asking how to connect to Wi-Fi

We have a RADIUS Wi-Fi setup, which means you have to use your organization email and password to sign into the Wi-Fi. "Use your email for Wi-Fi?" Yes and it's actually quite standard across organizations lol

[opaque sedge]

Honestly… unless it goes against your course requirement prolly a m series macbook air

Wont be able to game on it tho

But it has that good screen

[craggy shoal]

Yeah get something like an M2 MacBook Air. People still buy the M1 but you seem to have the budget for an M2. Get a couple of upgrade options too if you can (storage, RAM, I think those are the only two options)

[opaque sedge]

Hmm looks like there aren’t many 16gig 512gb m2 models

[craggy shoal]

Maybe not then. And I personally wouldn't get an M1

[plain stone]

any other laptop besides apple?

[craggy shoal]

ASUS Vivobook or Zenbook

Lenovo perhaps? Just don't get an Ideapad. "But they're a good value." Sure but they lack build quality

[opaque sedge]

Look what i found speaking of asus

Lm tho

[craggy shoal]

Man lowkey want it

I like my MacBook though. Perfect for what I’m doing

Actually everything I want in a laptop fr

[plain stone]

sure, thanks y'all

[opaque sedge]

Speaking of macbook did you see this

[craggy shoal]

Saw it earlier in the chat lolll. I’m probably gonna download it as soon as it's available. My Mac Mini has 24GB of memory (shared across the GPU and CPU) so we'll see how that goes

[opaque sedge]

Honestly it might work out with a m3 plus chip

Given there is enough memory

[craggy shoal]

Good thing I have an M4

I bought into the Ollama hype lol

[opaque sedge]

Damn looked it up and insane price but wonder abt how much power these new snap chips have and if they still suck or not

[craggy shoal]

They’re cheap but they'll last for at least a couple years

[elfin mural]

they don't suck

[opaque sedge]

I think its a great price for a simple laptop ngl

[elfin mural]

just needs more software support

tho mainstream softwares does work just fine

[opaque sedge]

Oled screen good storage and ram

[craggy shoal]

Honestly though that’s a solid laptop for $500. Idk if that "$899.99" is accurate but I mean my Vivobook back in the day was $600 (discounted to $400) and had half of those specs

[elfin mural]

macbook level of battery life

900 is what this was launched at

[craggy shoal]

I think they’re just Asus's version of an econobox (economy car). The cheapest they offer

[elfin mural]

sd x plus is less powerful than x elite tho

[opaque sedge]

Without half the notebook being full of battery packs i assume?

[elfin mural]

kinda sorta

cuz the vivobook series is much more premium than before

[craggy shoal]

Unless they sell something cheaper now lol

[elfin mural]

ya

their cheaper series is not named vivobook

just random letters

[opaque sedge]

Wbt the core ultra 5 model?

[craggy shoal]

A Vivobook with a 3K OLED is kinda nuts

[elfin mural]

core ultra 100 series or

100 series is bleh

[elfin mural]

200V series is where it's at

[craggy shoal]

"Vivobook S" I wonder if it runs Windows in S mode

[elfin mural]

afaik the 3k oled is a 120hz

vivobook s is just a name, it uses full windows

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-Vivobook-S-15-OLED-review-A-new-age-of-laptops-with-the-new-Snapdragon-X-Elite.849575.0.html

alu body

at this point it's a cheaper zenbook

[craggy shoal]

Gosh Windows in S mode has to be the stupidest thing that people don't lookout for when buying a laptop. America has already been dumbed down for people, then Windows in S mode had to exist

I have a whole theory about America being dumbed down so the government can have more control over its people but that’s not for this server

[opaque sedge]

Imagine you can only download it from the app store

[elfin mural]

one gripe is that the screen is glossy

i dont like glossy screens

[pliant berry]

GLOSSY FTW

[sage sluice]

I have zero idea what s mode even is

[opaque sedge]

Glossy like

DEEZ NUTS

[sage sluice]

So i guess im an idiot of america

[craggy shoal]

I mean you can take it out of S mode. But people are too dumb to figure that out and it's just a menu section

[elfin mural]

ngl it does look pretty good for a vivobook

[opaque sedge]

I think u replied to the wrong message

[craggy shoal]

You can't download programs from your web browser. Only from the MS Store (a very simplified version of it)

[opaque sedge]

nothing fancy tho it's just one color zone

still great deal

[mortal grail]

They have the best battery life* and that's a good price for an OLED thin and light new

can i get an f for my buddy who bought this

said he had a budget of like 1300 so i recommended the cheaper one with a 7800x3d and 4070s since it met his needs and he was a little outpriced on going to MC, then he tells me he got this one instead, paid sticker and my heart just sank a lil knowing he couldve gotten a 4080s build w possible a 9800x3d from MC 😦

[mortal grail]

He could've gotten a faster PC for 600 less if all he was doing was playing games

[wicked oriole]

yeah lol i figured he got mad ripped tbh

mans had his dad get it for him or something so idk, def dont feel like this is a 2.3k pc tho

def couldve had the sameish build better mb, psu and cooler. cyberpower couldnt even put a mf triple fan on here?!?!

[mortal grail]

Well if you got his dad on the holler I could prove it

Lmao

[wicked oriole]

probably a better gaming cpu. feel like 12 cores w 24 threads is mad overkill since the 7800x3d is only 8 cores w 16 threads

[mortal grail]

It is a better gaming cpu

[wicked oriole]

ope my b

[mortal grail]

Ryzen uses 6 and 8 core "ccd" layouts

Basically clusters of cores

[wicked oriole]

gotcha

[mortal grail]

If you try to use more than that cluster, you get hit with a penalty for latency between those ccds

A biiigggg latency hit

[wicked oriole]

it came w a keyboard and mouse and i told buddy i had a decent mouse id give him lol

[mortal grail]

It's quite a bit worse than a 7800x3d

Worse than a 7600x3d if I'm not mistaken

[wicked oriole]

yeah the whole build outside of gpu just screams no from me

that point im for sure going to MC and having them build it so i know everything in it

infact imma price one up rq

[wicked oriole]

funny thing is too i tried putting him onto that lol

[opaque sedge]

7600x3d seems to be the best value x3d cpu bundle on micro rn

[wicked oriole]

actually i was trying to sell MC to him hard, but no cute girls work there so he wasn't interested like bro the last thing i want is a cute girl to build my pc, no offense but i cant trust that lol

[opaque sedge]

Da heck will having a cute girl as a store clerk do

[wicked oriole]

idk, i wasn't gonna get into it with him lol

[opaque sedge]

Wat was he gonna do flirt with the clerk instead of buying a pc

[opaque sedge]

He was definitely upsold on that pc ngl

[wicked oriole]

ready for the games lol

gta, overwatch and maybe cod lmaooooo

probably gonna be way more now

[opaque sedge]

Your friend needs to learn to plan purchases with his head not his pants ngl

Plus microcenter has some dang good employees sometimes

I had lost a couple of my pcie screws from my case and one of them just unscrewed a couple from a display one and gave em to me

[wicked oriole]

buddy could've gotten the whole thing BUILT from mc with a 7600x3d in it for 2300 after tax, what his pc was before tax lol

could've upped it to a 7800x3d if they had it for a bit more

[wicked oriole]

they know their stuff. i was trying to get a hdmi 2.1 cable for a monitor i got off amazon when i got my pc and i showed it to him, learned it wasn't hdmi 2.1, but my Display port would work fine and he hooked me up with the right one. w employee

[sage sluice]

im curious why threads are ever specified when i havent seen anything but double the core count

[wicked oriole]

he didn't know the foreign monitor i got tho lmao

[frigid stag]

7600x3d is a bit meh

[wicked oriole]

compared to a 9900x?

[frigid stag]

7700x probably would be better. 5.5ghz ready

[frigid stag]

Yeah just run 5.5ghz

Or 5.4

[wicked oriole]

boost speed was attractive ngl

[frigid stag]

Fr

[wicked oriole]

i was like dang my cpu only clocks at 5 mhz

[frigid stag]

7600x3d is stuck at like 4.7

You’ve got 800mhz on top

[wicked oriole]

thats all mc has rn

the 9800x3d go in like a day or 2 lol

[frigid stag]

Ye they got overhyped

[wicked oriole]

been talking myself out of it since i dont really need it

[frigid stag]

Reddit literally did free marketing for those CPU’s

[wicked oriole]

some games id benefit from it, but tbh its only single player games that id play literally once

[frigid stag]

They’re good CPU’s but people made them out to be like they’re 2x faster than a 7800x3d

[wicked oriole]

i may give hogwarts another playthrough one day though, game is absolutely beautiful

they're like 10% faster idk if thats accurate

[frigid stag]

Yea around there

[wicked oriole]

boost clock speed on that is like 5.2 and the 7800x3d is like 5, but i think its the overall clock speed that is better

but its still marginal

[frigid stag]

I think they added more cache

[wicked oriole]

its 4.2 mhz clock to 5.0 boost for 7800x3d, 4.7 mhz clock to 5.2 boost for 9800x3d

same cache for each, 8MB for level 2 and 96MB for level 3

memory specs change from 5200 for 7800 to 5600 for 9800

[sweet phoenix]

Thats just because of how ddr5 has changed since 9800x3d came out

There weren't 5600mhz jedec kits before

[wicked oriole]

gotcha\

i do remember you saying something about the ram speed being important

[sweet phoenix]

9000 series i think does 6800mhz stable whereas 7000 series typically didn't like past 6400

[sweet phoenix]

6000c30 or 6400c32 is the simple choice

[wicked oriole]

mine is low but i can "OC" to 6000mhz

[sweet phoenix]

What kit is it?

Basically any ddr5 should do 6000c36

[wicked oriole]

G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL32

[sweet phoenix]

Oh 6000c32

[wicked oriole]

bad?

[sweet phoenix]

Thats hynix die, you can do 6400c30 very very likely with like 20 min and a YouTube video

[wicked oriole]

i have been wanting to upgrade to 64gb of ram idk why lol

[sweet phoenix]

Hynix is the best there is for ddr5

64gb would run slower

[wicked oriole]

oof

good looks

[sweet phoenix]

If you've got a reason for 64gb then it would make sense

But just to say you have 64gb it's counter productive

[opaque sedge]

Is it a bad idea to go past the expo profile for frequency for ram…

[wicked oriole]

i do not lol i think i tried to run a web browser and a game together and saw my memory go up to like 24 gigs and i just thought oof we may be getting light

[sweet phoenix]

No, just dont be stupid about it

[opaque sedge]

Like suppose can i overclock my 6000mhz cl32 g skill ram past its rated freq?

[sweet phoenix]

Don't change numbers randomly without knowing what you're doing

[wicked oriole]

but im starting to learn more about how this stuff actually works so i can OC, the 4080s is kind of mid in a 4k setting

[sweet phoenix]

Ram and gpu oc will give the biggest perf gains

For 4k, gpu oc will be the most relevant

[wicked oriole]

interesting

[sweet phoenix]

Cpu oc unless you're heavily cpu limited won't make a visible difference

[wicked oriole]

i def gave my cpu an undervolt, worked good for a week, got a random crash when closing out of a game the other day so i put my pbo curve down to 20 from 30

i will look into putting my ram a bit higher, probably dont need to but every bit helps

[opaque sedge]

I tuned the timings based on this forum post falcie linked and guided me thru this morning but i didn’t change the expo profile

https://www.patreon.com/posts/low-effort-rank-77403831

[wicked oriole]

the GPU oc was the best for it so far. the cpu undervolt did help a lot w my minecraft mod i use lol (distant horizons LOD chunk loader/saver was killing my thread count)

only thing that sucks is that i got the most dookie luck on silicon lottery

"boss monsters" is crazy 💀

[opaque sedge]

TO DEEZ NUTS

[wicked oriole]

not even god and the power of anime on your side can help

[unreal trail]

why did Gamestop try to make its stores a nerd motel and then fail terribly?

[wicked oriole]

its so real tho

[wicked oriole]

cause nerds like to loiter. if they put tables in to play then it probably would've worked

also poor selection of product

[craggy shoal]

When something is working, you don't fix it. When it's not working, you make an attempt to fix it. This doesn't mean it'll be fixed (Game Stop moment)

[wicked oriole]

and they hopped on that during covid when it was only pokemon that was popping off

[velvet summit]

Demure Deer December

[craggy shoal]

man what

[wicked oriole]

yugioh literally shot themselves in thew foot and have like 25 years worth of collection money to make up for

[wicked oriole]

ryan cohen ladies and gents

[unreal trail]

I went to Gamestop for a black friday sale and asked for the game, the guy at the register said it's not in stock. So I asked "Why I'm here then?" And he said "merch"

thats when I stopped going to GS stores

[wicked oriole]

lmaoooooo

[velvet summit]

You don't want merch?

[craggy shoal]

"Game Stop. We don't sell games anymore because people don't like to come here for games so we just sell merch now"

[wicked oriole]

i haven't stepped foot into a GS since like 2021

[velvet summit]

You've been in a game stop in 2021?

[unreal trail]

Nah bro 30 dollar tee shirts and 50 dollar coffee mugs aren't my bag

[velvet summit]

Last time I was in one was probably like 2016

[wicked oriole]

i went in there when their stock price was like 300 a share, not a soul in there, to buy cyber punk for my ps4 since sony ripped it off the market at the time

[velvet summit]

Ok that's a little crazy

[unreal trail]

and pop figures

[wicked oriole]

and i regretted the cyber punk purchase when i got it installed, went to play and loaded into an actual N64 game in 2021

[velvet summit]

Ah so you were one of those players that were trying to run the game on decade old hardware

[unreal trail]

wym N64 is soul

[wicked oriole]

a very brief attempt before i realized i was absolutely cooked

[velvet summit]

💀

[wicked oriole]

on a game that was super hyped up and i had waited for i wasn't pleased lol you're not wrong tho

[velvet summit]

I played cyberpunk 2077 a week after launch on a rx570 and it ran fine

[wicked oriole]

later on i got a ps5 and i still havent played cyber punk lol. i've been trying on my pc but its just hard for me to lock into

story is kind of all over the place in the beginning

[unreal trail]

I got like 5 screen filters on Ship of Harkinian to make it look like a 320i overscanned VHS tape

[opaque sedge]

I wish there was a word for nuts that started with d…

Like imagine deez d… december

[velvet summit]

Destroy Donuts December

[opaque sedge]

Ehh

Its aight

[wicked oriole]

pc is so much better tho. i tried RT On ps5 vs my pc and just wow

[opaque sedge]

Damn

[wicked oriole]

i almost wanna buy hogwarts for my ps5 to compare but tbh, i dont think it'd be worth it at all. Hogwarts looks like a masterpiece tbh

[opaque sedge]

These decade old gpus sound insane ngl

[velvet summit]

Fine for my standards at least

[velvet summit]

It has not been a decade

[wicked oriole]

if it works it works

[opaque sedge]

The 10 series sounded so ahead of their time

[opaque sedge]

Fr?!

[wicked oriole]

my buddy at work is trying to flex on me cause he never updated his bios in a 2080 build he got in 2021 lol

[velvet summit]

2017 release of rx570

Oh

I see the confusion

You might have thought I was talking about the gt570 or smth

That would be like a 15 year old gpu

Or 14?

Old enough to use discord

[velvet summit]

Why is that a flex

[sage sluice]

does nvidia still make gtx cards?

[wicked oriole]

i literally wonder the same thing lol

[velvet summit]

I think they've ended the 16 series

[wicked oriole]

i wonder what all other drivers are out of date lmao

[storm narwhal]

They have

[velvet summit]

16 series from my knowledge was the last remaining GTX series

[sage sluice]

sounds right

[wicked oriole]

told him i oc'd my gpu for a lil push and he said i got the wrong pc then like buddy my gpu just needed an extra couple of frames to get me at a 60 FPS in 4k

dude dont even know how to get into bios lmao

[velvet summit]

3050 is the replacement of the 16 series ig

Igpus are powerful enough nowadays that it doesn't really make much sense to get a crappy GPU like that asides for display out

[craggy shoal]

The 3090 and 4090 are just each respective gen's Titan GPUs

"They killed Titan noooo" not really. In terms of performance, the X090s are just Titans lol

(at least imo)

[velvet summit]

If they have a prebuilt, maybe not too horrible since they often include a kinda bloated automatic driver updater software

They probably at the very least just keep the GPU drivers updated

[wicked oriole]

it is. its either cyberpower or ibuyproblems

idk if the nvidia app works on those but if it does then i imagine he does

[craggy shoal]

I think it's a "I have a solid product from a brand that makes garbage products" type of flex

[velvet summit]

Nvidia app only updates Nvidia gpus

[craggy shoal]

I wouldn't see why not tbh

[wicked oriole]

hes just mad my monitors cost more than his build lmao

[velvet summit]

☠️

[wicked oriole]

i also learn about my pc, and stuff i like in general instead of the boomer "it works so i love it" approach lol

man can tell me everything about a bucket truck and guns/ cant open his bios like be so fr

[velvet summit]

I do the boomer approach to my own build

If it works now then it's good enough

[devout forum]

Goes without saying, that ain't how captchas work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2gnbPKyNNc

[velvet summit]

[wary fjord]

ow no

[wicked oriole]

that is fair, but you probably have a general idea of why everything is working and not just hell yeah brother it works

[velvet summit]

Well

Computers are black magic at times

[wicked oriole]

fair lol

why i always keep my afterburner up so i can see everything thats happening lol

[velvet summit]

Sometimes you just bang some rocks together and it suddenly works

[wicked oriole]

me when my rgb's stop working lmaoooo

[velvet summit]

And you're like "well idk what I did but I'm fine with it working so I'm not gonna ask why"

[wicked oriole]

happened to my lights the other night, they stopped, but fans were still on, but it was bothering me, nothing looked loose or unplugged so i gave her a reset and viola it just worked

[opaque sedge]

Istg rgb is kinda annoying…

If i get the chance to make another build i’ll def be going black fans

[wicked oriole]

i love it and hate it

[velvet summit]

RGB is boring

I would rather wire up a horn to the post beeper

[opaque sedge]

And maybe an aio like this

Or smth that shines a simple white light

In the heatsink area

[wicked oriole]

yeah, i may go all black or a discrete build if i ever build one myself

def wont be for a very long time

[opaque sedge]

Guys… aio or these…

Correct answer will get a million points

[wicked oriole]

imo id prob do aio (dont know how often they go on sale) i know steam usually has sales quite frequently so unless youre dying to play these games rn id skip

[opaque sedge]

@velvet summit …

[wicked oriole]

or try GOG since theyre older games they may be slightly cheaper on there

[opaque sedge]

I-

See em everywhere i go

[opaque sedge]

Genius

[wicked oriole]

gog kind of clutch fr, shoutout to amazon for showing me them lmao

[velvet summit]

☠️

One day you'll get a nut allergy from overexposure to them

[opaque sedge]

Fr

[opaque sedge]

The right answer was neither

Cuz i cant get neither

[sinful blade]

The game

[opaque sedge]

But yeah given enough money def games

[wicked oriole]

lmao fair

[opaque sedge]

Plus for pc peripherals i would rather get some intake fans ngl to min max gpu airflow somewhat

[craggy shoal]

Man I wish I had some apples

[opaque sedge]

I have some

[craggy shoal]

What kind?

[opaque sedge]

Fuji

[craggy shoal]

gimme

[opaque sedge]

Nuh uh

[wicked oriole]

epic walmart pull is the fuiji apple sparkling water they got

def cooked w that one

[languid drum]

I got fresh made orange juice it's great but not cheap.

[wicked oriole]

couldn't pay me all the money in the world for the pulp action

[craggy shoal]

:(

[languid drum]

Well easy to remove but I love it fresh

[velvet summit]

If you haven't played or seen it, and you like story driven games, get nier automata

[opaque sedge]

Kinda busy rn but in 20 minutes imma take a juicy ass bite and ping u

With the pic

[craggy shoal]

[opaque sedge]

[craggy shoal]

I want the apple

[opaque sedge]

Suffering

https://tenor.com/view/elden-ring-rykard-snake-gif-25916854

I’m scared to check this out

I dont get how overpriced liquid coolers became so mainstream

[languid drum]

Juice great but lots of calories even more then beer

[opaque sedge]

Barely any performance increase for most hardwares

[languid drum]

You just get fish tank water pump. Go big.

That or water pump booster and tank.

[wicked oriole]

just put the whole pc in mineral oil smh

[velvet summit]

the game makes you suffer emotionally

gameplay is easy though

[sinful blade]

I just bought andromeda on PC

[languid drum]

That's what xbox does now tank with servers inside not cleaning dust.

[opaque sedge]

oh and if you want a different form of suffering in terms of mind breaking puzzles

75c is alright for a 7800x3d at over 50% util right

[velvet summit]

yeah

[opaque sedge]

How much better temps do aio’s even get?

Like 10 degrees?

[languid drum]

10 a lot i be hopefully for upto 5

But you only need 2 to be steady and it runs better

[velvet summit]

like any other cooler

depends on fan speed

and 120mm aios can perform worse than a good tower cooler

[opaque sedge]

So it needs rather beefy fans which then again i can just put onto a regular air cooled heatsink…

[languid drum]

Water tank size as well since water takes longer to heat then air.

[velvet summit]

no, not beefy fans, but the fan curve

[opaque sedge]

Hmm

So same as an air cooler…

[velvet summit]

they're technically both air coolers
one just has some extra components

[opaque sedge]

Reminds me i think my cpu cooler fan curve is at default

Eh its prolly fine

[velvet summit]

the fluid in an AIO serves the same purpose as the fluid in a heatpipe

to transfer heat efficiently to the heatsink fins

[wicked oriole]

side note anyone got game recommendations like hogwarts that have good RT and look amazing in HDR?

[velvet summit]

what kinda gameplay is hogwarts legacy anyways

[wicked oriole]

what do you mean by this? its a 3rd person open world game

[languid drum]

I'm trying to enjoy skull and bones

[opaque sedge]

Sounds like a fantasy exploration rpg

[velvet summit]

like what kinda gameplay, since you're asking about game recommendations like it

[sinful blade]

Uninstall that

Don’t support them

Frick Ubisoft

[velvet summit]

i havent really seen it since between not really supporting jk rowling's views and not being interested in harry potter, i havent looked into the game at all

[wicked oriole]

im more intruiged on graphics, gameplay wont matter as long as its pretty

[velvet summit]

ah

death stranding has good graphics

[craggy shoal]

Hogwarts Legacy is well worth it if you have a small amount of spare cash, extra time you don't know how to burn, and even better if it's on sale

[velvet summit]

horizon zero dawn also has good graphics, though a bit more stylistic

[sinful blade]

@wicked oriole mass effect trilogy

[wicked oriole]

best $35 ever spent tbh

[opaque sedge]

Its on sale rn for 18 bucks

As much as eating out for lunch in 2024

[craggy shoal]

That belongs in #tech-deals honestly

[opaque sedge]

I wish these belonged in my library

[velvet summit]

balders gate also has good graphics though it's a top down strategy

[wicked oriole]

i havent been a harry potter fan since post 4th one. got way to boring way to quick\

[languid drum]

I help code it and what a battle or war it caused. Crazy people seem to still be fighting over game. Started at 14 now I'm 50 and they still fighting

[craggy shoal]

I still have yet to complete a Slytherin playthrough

[velvet summit]

you should play mgsv

maybe not the best game in the series

but has fun gameplay

my personal favourite mgs game was snake eater (mgs3)

[opaque sedge]

Yh gameplay is really attracting me

[velvet summit]

excited for the remake kinda

[wicked oriole]

w suggestion, ive been meaning to backtrack to these and the deadspace remake

i'm carefully optimistic since

[wicked oriole]

i forgot about this. appreciate t hat

[velvet summit]

the renders looking kinda crazy

[opaque sedge]

Currently bundled with ngreedia gpus in micro

[velvet summit]

not really a game for everyone, but i love it

[elfin mural]

B570 with 10gb of vram makes my 4050 look bad

(which is a good thing)

[wicked oriole]

this isnt that bad is it? clock speed is nice, vram could be better

[opaque sedge]

Imagine they make mobile versions

[languid drum]

Price could be very interesting

[elfin mural]

i will cry

[sinful blade]

Good man

[craggy shoal]

I read "B570 with 10GB" and almost had a stroke until I went to google

[velvet summit]

clock speed is pretty much irrelevant
important part is the microarchitecture for performance

[wicked oriole]

they were crazy on release tbh, remaster just makes the inner nostaliga start to RING

[opaque sedge]

Ur a better man than me… seeing those 7900xt discounts last month made me mald so bad i was praying amd’s 1440p offering for their 8000 series would mog it for less than 6 hundies

[sinful blade]

Make sure to install the mods I mentioned yesterday

[wicked oriole]

is that the gddr6?

[elfin mural]

i wanna see sub $300 and $200 market come alive again

[velvet summit]

no that's the vram

[elfin mural]

or at least force nvidia to do something

[velvet summit]

microarch cant be compared by specs

would have to be done in benchmarks

[wicked oriole]

i gotcha

[sinful blade]

Arc cards stare

[wicked oriole]

ill look into it lol

[opaque sedge]

Imagine if nvidia doesn’t want the entry level mid range market anymore and are only interested in business products and high end hardware

[elfin mural]

arc battlemage is more interesting

current arc offerings are meh

i wanna see what battlemage has on offer

[sinful blade]

A770 is wild

[unreal trail]

CEO of Intel just bounced

[elfin mural]

yeah

let's hope intel isn't dropping gpu division as quickly as they started it

[opaque sedge]

That would look bad for their brand rep no?

Like having no commitment

[wicked oriole]

they dont have $ for it lol

[sinful blade]

Glad to see more people excited for arc cards like me

[opaque sedge]

I feel like the reason amd didnt give up on gpus even till today amidst the nvidia dominance was prolly for the sake of image too

[wicked oriole]

i really just want nvidia to come back down to earth on prices

[elfin mural]

likely won't for a while

[wicked oriole]

crazy work to me spending 1k on a gpu and its only "2nd" best. then the offset is $800

[elfin mural]

unless someone comes in and cashes in on nvidia's current gold pot

the AI bubble

[opaque sedge]

Nvidia is technically like a crypto bro ngl

[wicked oriole]

some guy on wsb attempted to short nvidia

[opaque sedge]

With all this AI crap

[wicked oriole]

hes down 1.5M

[elfin mural]

lol

[wicked oriole]

saw short and nvda next to each other and just thought oh no

[elfin mural]

cant blame nvidia for doing what they're doing

but i will still hate this practice

[wicked oriole]

crazy how hard tech took off in the past 10 years tbh

[elfin mural]

nvidia giving only 6gb of vram on base gpus

as well as limiting them to just 92 bit is insane

[opaque sedge]

Whats a good industry or major to study rn or work and learn skills with ease of entry in your guy’s opinion?

[languid drum]

What ?

[languid drum]

Only pcie5 option poor game developers

[wicked oriole]

mass effect trilogy is $5. its basically free

This would actually have me switch back to AMD if they can prefer similarly to Nvidia

That means that AMD do have the resources, imagine a top end RDNA 4 card @craggy shoal

Not in this universe

[young matrix]

Intel needs an engineer as ceo not financials 😭

The company is cooked

[velvet summit]

to be fair

a good engineer doesnt make a good ceo

but a good ceo needs to know what their employees are doing at a deeper level

[atomic mist]

Intel needs a cook at the helm

[velvet summit]

imagine gordon ramsay becoming ceo of intel

[young matrix]

Real

[atomic mist]

If the ceo knows nothing about running a business or engineering the product surely they’ll figure out how to turn the company around

[velvet summit]

i would probably watch a show called silicon valley nightmares

just a guy trying to fix the startups

Actually an incredible show

Just increase your fan speed and open your side panel

Let that heat out

[sinful blade]

Can I have your old one

Will give you 11 random cords from around my house

[devout forum]

7600X doesn't generate enough heat for that

[craggy shoal]

Oh you mean for a new build

[mortal grail]

You could just wear another jacket

[craggy shoal]

yeah go for the 14700K 💀

[craggy shoal]

yeah but you could be naked if you had a better space heater

absolute freedom

[rancid juniper]

alleged switch 2 joycon leak

[mortal grail]

I swear you must've hesitated typing that

[craggy shoal]

This looks like as if somebody told AI to "make a video of the Nintendo Switch joycons, white joycons, video, best quality" (etc.) and then just screenshot the video. Looks like the exact same quality as AI Minecraft

[rancid juniper]

😂

[craggy shoal]

Nah because how do you have triggers when holding it sideways but you can also lay it flat

I'm not believing that photo

Hands don't even look right lol. That's bound to be fake

AI. I'm calling it

ur mothers

[rancid juniper]

the only time i ever used joycons was with my friend's switch back in 2022 so i forgor how they function

im not believing this either but posting it here as a rumor

[craggy shoal]

I think they're sick and I wish Xbox and PlayStation learned from Nintendo

especially Xbox because they're still making the same controller that came with the original Xbox

[rancid juniper]

They both making handhelds btw

[craggy shoal]

Is PS making a new handheld, one that you don't have to stream from your PS5 or the cloud?

[mortal grail]

PS handheld pro

It no longer includes a disc drive

[craggy shoal]

I doubt that's gonna go well. They're going to engineer it, give it a garbage price after it already costs more than what they sell it at, and it's still going to perform poorly

I expect the same but worse from Xbox

[rancid juniper]

yea that one will have its own hardware

[craggy shoal]

oh okay bett

[rancid juniper]

i dont think they'll capture the same vibe like what the psp/vita had

[craggy shoal]

Man I kinda hope they do though

[rancid juniper]

its probably going to get cherrypicked ps4/5 games to run

[craggy shoal]

idk though. Not many people bought a PSP or Vita

[rancid juniper]

not some portable exclusive

[rancid juniper]

hmm? i thought PSP sold well

[craggy shoal]

Yo if I can dock it though, I might ditch my PS5 and just get one of those if it can run GT7 lolll

[craggy shoal]

It sold decently but not great (I think?). I remember seeing mostly Nintendo DSis back in the day, well more than PSPs

"When I was a younglin'"

[rancid juniper]

well its nintendo, they gonna win on that front

i remember playing Gran turismo on psp emulator

[mortal grail]

Next to the DS it wasn't even close

Every PSP there was like 4 DS/DSi

[rancid juniper]

ofc, they got slapped to the stratosphere

[mortal grail]

Ironic tho

Cos in the end the PSP was the better console

[rancid juniper]

lol yea

[mortal grail]

The DS just had a way better IP set

[rancid juniper]

the game library was pretty good

https://videocardz.com/newz/seasonic-lists-unannounced-amd-radeon-rx-8800-xt-as-220w-graphics-card

thats...

thats actually pretty good

putting my gpu's power slider to the lowest only hits up to 238w

(7800XT)

[unreal trail]

bru

[rancid juniper]

at stock it caps at 263w

lmfao

[unreal trail]

2 pins lol wtf

[rancid juniper]

just like my gpu

XD

tbh it would've been better if it hit 4080super levels of performance for the same power target

[craggy shoal]

I'm about to go insane by explaining why people should care about this lmao

[rancid juniper]

you see, less power = good

[craggy shoal]

yeah people are gonna be like "my parents pay the electric bill. why should I care?" and then complain that their PC is overheating because "my room is super hot while gaming" (they have no idea that their GPU is really good at cooling 263W)

Competing with 4080 though. Not the Super? Sounds kinda weak imo

[mortal grail]

4080 and 4080 Super are ±2% apart

[craggy shoal]

oh gotcha

[mortal grail]

[rancid juniper]

ah

[rancid juniper]

thats why i undervolted my pc

[craggy shoal]

You kinda had to anyways lol

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO

cant let the 13600k suck up the wall

[craggy shoal]

💀

[rancid juniper]

same thing for the 7800xt

i was a bit jealous that the 4070 was more efficient

[craggy shoal]

kinda wanna do the same with my build, both GPU and CPU. Would probably be my most efficient build other than the four servers in my room and the one that's out in the living room

[mortal grail]

4

[craggy shoal]

I agree but I like the number 5 better

4

Dis U?

[craggy shoal]

yeah

basically

[craggy shoal]

After seeing that photo so many times, I just noticed the box fan that's sitting directly between the monitor and the keyboard

[craggy shoal]

The nicest thing about this setup is the Brother printer

[mortal grail]

Lmfaoooo

[rancid juniper]

actually imma try an occt power test to see how much my system can consume

[rancid juniper]

all parts combined

[mortal grail]

Glad I skipped that one phew

I went for small file size

[craggy shoal]

nvm here it is
#build-pics message

I just posted it rather than embedding it

I should've used the embedding service I made lol

better quality that way

[mortal grail]

[mortal grail]

Year of the rabbit

[craggy shoal]

only 260W more of a reason to get naked (it's hot in my room)

[lone mango]

Still 260w of energy being dissipated

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

Motor keeps bringing up being naked

[craggy shoal]

;)

[lone mango]

Bro prob naked rn

[devout forum]

TBF

[mortal grail]

Maybe that's why Theo's been gone

[craggy shoal]

yeah I'm just naked at work rn

[devout forum]

I'd unironically not mind having an Intel-branded space heater in the winter

[lone mango]

[devout forum]

The issue is that during the summer my room would become boiling hot

It gets to 32-34 centigrade ambient during the summer
With no AC to speak of

[craggy shoal]

I have hot room issues in the Fall. I would explain it but it comes out to be a phat paragraph

[mortal grail]

Just wear more jackets and don't get a hotter cpu

[craggy shoal]

you shall invest

[devout forum]

Can't

[craggy shoal]

worth it

[devout forum]

No space to mount it anywhere in the room

[craggy shoal]

trust

ah :(

[devout forum]

I guess I can technically mount it on the wall behind myself when gaming

But then it'd be right over my bed and that's not good to sleep under

[craggy shoal]

I should really be mounting a DAS enclosure to one of my servers rn but I'm over here talking about taking my clothes off

I am very smart :)

(Due to the rules of this server, this is a joke)

[lone mango]

common mod L

[languid drum]

@mortal grail how does this make you feel

[nocturne flicker]

[dusk knot]

I'm glad that I don't use ticktock

[velvet summit]

for those who dont know

the headphones they called "tiktok headphones" are headphones designed in the 80's by koss

several decades before tiktok even existed

and they called them tiktok headphones 😭

[opaque sedge]

Just heard abt it today from you and alr wish i could personally strangle all who call those headphones tiktok headphones

[velvet summit]

[safe cape]

the tiktok sound good

[dusk knot]

Ew

Ticktock emerged from the downward trend of intelligence in society

[random osprey]

tiktok is good for its tiktok shop and deals that it has at times

and for that one guys videos that does roll for sandwich

[dusk knot]

Hmm

Ig

There are some solid advertisements

And products

After that, brainrot and misinformation

[nocturne flicker]

[dusk knot]

Nah

You'll have to look for that, it comes right to you on ticktock

[quaint folio]

hey

I bought a bunch of items from newegg and they just got delivered. All my items had a plastic cover or some sort of seal except my gpu. Is that normal?

[velvet summit]

that is strange

[quaint folio]
