[idle nexus]

then UE would make it hard lock

[grand kernel]

I'm still using that b-die you sent me

[idle nexus]

lol nice

[grand kernel]

with my funny ddr3 heatsinks

yeah my pc passes all stress tests

[idle nexus]

ig it stopped them from getting toasty so if it works it works

[grand kernel]

plays heavy games fine

but bsods a lot in one specific difficulty mode of one specific raid in one specific game

💀

I dunno what's going on with that

[dusk knot]

PC blue screened. Totally normal

[idle nexus]

during win11 install?

[dusk knot]

No.. gigabyte app center

[chrome mirage]

Had some coworkers come over for a party and beat them all at Wii bowling

[grand kernel]

alright my pc survived the drive home

[idle nexus]

any chance it says something like nvlddmkm.sys in Event Viewer?

[grand kernel]

let's see if the monitors did too

nope

no errors in event viewer

[idle nexus]

lol be careful it might try to install Norton

[grand kernel]

the stop codes are ones that I don't think are normally caused by OC

CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED and UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION

[dusk knot]

I unchecked it as soon as I saw it.

[idle nexus]

I hate critical process died

[grand kernel]

UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION is ram sometimes I think

[idle nexus]

never know what to do what that heckin thing

[grand kernel]

but it's a little rare from oc

[idle nexus]

wait it's in a game...

I think I got that one recently from STALKER 2

which has a massive memory leak

like insane

94.552 GB virtual memory use

[grand kernel]

everything else in that game works fine though even normal mode of the same raid

which is on the same map

[idle nexus]

hmm I dunno it just seems like so specific to be RAM or CPU OC to me but heck if I know

if you can't figure it out, I sure as heck can't lol

[grand kernel]

I will say that it was fine this week after I tried a bunch of stuff hoping one would fix it

[chrome mirage]

I usually get frustrated with a game before memory leak becomes an issue

[grand kernel]

but it's difficult to be certain cause I can only do it once a week

[idle nexus]

did you report to devs & send logs or anything like that?

[chrome mirage]

There's tons of games that people complain about bugs I don't experience since I don't play them for a lot at a time

[idle nexus]

I think I only played like 1-2 hours ish

[chrome mirage]

I don't usually play for more than 30 minutes at a time

[idle nexus]

lol I wish I had that problem

my favorite is when games crash because I forget to close OneDrive

[chrome mirage]

Sometimes I close it after 30 minutes and open it up again then repeat the process 4 times

[idle nexus]

so I save a game again too soon

before it's uploaded to that stupid My Games folder

& it can't write to the file cuz it's in use so it has a heckattack

[grand kernel]

there are no logs that I'm aware of

I'm just gonna hope it's fine next week

[idle nexus]

the only thing worse than that is when Outlook goes bananas because it can't access its stupid horrible giant PST or whatver file because that's also required to be in a sub folder in My Documents so OneDrive has to update it constantly

[grand kernel]

that one of the 50 things I tried fixed it lol

[idle nexus]

try App Data>Local or Roaming sometimes

[chrome mirage]

I have ADD so I get bored and distracted very quickly and it causes me to turn games off before I'm done playing them

[idle nexus]

games love to put folders with crashdumps in AppData>Local lol

the problem is most of the logs just come across as nonsense to me cuz I dunno what call stacks are

for example lol

[pallid willow]

Can someone provide me the best gaming PC pre-made build for my budget of around 2k dollars? I know nothing about PCs as i been a console player all the time but i got the savings for it now

[hoary zodiac]

might not be a bad idea to consider a laptop

most prebuilts are pretty bad value

this for example is absolutely not worth $1000

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HPf68Q

meanwhile with a custom built pc you can get something like this for $1550

[pallid willow]

I tried learning to build a pc but i just couldnt

Its too difficult

[hoary zodiac]

if you get a desktop prebuilt you'd be wasting a couple hundred dollars

[pallid willow]

I could try to build it myself but id need some kind of help at least

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-000J-02UY5?Item=9SIAEYJKE96158

this isn't too expensive

[pallid willow]

dont really want a laptop

[hoary zodiac]

you can plug it in and use it like a desktop

[devout forum]

Wow 24H2 is pain

Stuck on the welcome screen after unlocking for like 5 minutes at this point

[hoary zodiac]

know any good prebuilts?

trying to find one that's not atrocious

what is this come on

just when I thought I found one...

turns out it's a time bomb

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16883151535?Item=N82E16883151535
refurb but

oems usually don't blow up

ok that unironically might've been the best one wtf

@pallid willow are you ok with refurbished?

[pallid willow]

whats a refurbished?

dont know anything about pcs

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

[pallid willow]

Is the amd ryzen 7 good?

[hoary zodiac]

For the price yes

[pallid willow]

Is it the latest one?

[hoary zodiac]

You'd be lucky to find prebuilts with the latest part that don't try to rip you off

Ryzen 9000 is also really mediocre compared to Ryzen 7000 so

It's not bad for the price

[pallid willow]

Oh alright thank u

nice to have someone whos knowledgeable about this

[hoary zodiac]

Fal'cie also linked another list in #building-and-recc-chat

I would recommend you check that out as well

[pallid willow]

Nothing there

[bitter dust]

guys with prime the shipping and handling will be discounted?

[wind quail]

If you have Amazon prime you get free shipping with Amazon yes

[bitter dust]

like only the shipping handling or all of these?

or just pay the total before tax

[hoary zodiac]

Oh you're in saudi arabia

This might be a bit annoying

oh dear

Shipping whole pcs could be tricky

[icy ore]

Oof

[bitter dust]

The struggle is that everything is cheap and accessible to them, except for us

My brother is in America, and I thought about sending the items to him so he can bring them to Kuwait

[pallid willow]

whys that?

[hoary zodiac]

shipping a very large and fragile object across an entire ocean has certain risks

I'd recommend finding something local

[pallid willow]

wont they refund if that happens?

[hoary zodiac]

Not sure

[bitter dust]

@pallid willow
Infiniarc

better solution

Are there any discounts at NewEgg at the beginning of the new year

[pallid willow]

is it the same pricing?

[bitter dust]

Their specialty is building custom PCs

also maybe

[pallid willow]

oh okay

@hoary zodiac if its fine with u can u make the same build in infiniarcs website

i dont really know how to do it

[hoary zodiac]

I have no idea what that is

[bitter dust]

big famous site in saudi arabia

https://www.infiniarc.com/en

[hoary zodiac]

y'all will have to work this out on your own

middle eastern market is not my specialty

[bitter dust]

i really don't take any of middle eastern websites at all

except if there's any warranties

[pallid willow]

this is the same one right?

is this one good?

i dont know what these are

[pallid willow]

i have a question about something if i buy a new pc do i still have to get a new monitor?

my current one is an acer

this is it

[opaque sedge]

Only 75hz a new monitor with higher refresh rate and resolution depending on the pc specs would certainly be recommended

[remote geode]

raaaaaaaaaah

[devout forum]

I wonder tho

[remote geode]

I want to get an Arc B580 to replace my 1070ti

[devout forum]

is 8 native vs 10 bit DSC a major thing?

at the same res and refresh rate

[remote geode]

Not particularly versed with this unfortunately

[prisma mountain]

Ahhhhhhhhh I can't decide whether to wait for 5000 series GPUs and r9 with 3d cache, or just pull the trigger on a 4090 and r7 9800x3d now.... I want to be building right this second I don't want to wait. And there's no guarantee I'll even be able to get the new parts when they come out, and no guarantee they'll be available for purchase by January 😭

[hoary zodiac]

I wouldn't

this is the worst possible time to buy a 9800X3D

scalpers got their hands all over all available stock

[opaque sedge]

Guys

[prisma mountain]

I keep finding them for MSRP to $100 over MSRP, the 4090 seems wayyyyy harder to come by than the 9800

[hoary zodiac]

what do you need a 4090 for?

[opaque sedge]

My phone thinks pics of dissected frogs qualify as food

[prisma mountain]

Video games

I have top of the line money and am going to treat myself

[hoary zodiac]

right

[prisma mountain]

I've been rocking my 1080 for forever

[hoary zodiac]

I'd wait for the 5090 tho

or 5080

chances are the 5080 will outperform the 4090

5080ti*

[prisma mountain]

Yeah

[opaque sedge]

If i had f u money i would prolly wait too

[hoary zodiac]

it's so close I'd just wait

even if I had a million bucks

same with 9800X3D

[prisma mountain]

😭 not bad points

[hoary zodiac]

what cpu do you have at the moment?

[prisma mountain]

God I want to be building now though

r5 2600

[hoary zodiac]

if you have a 7800X3D I wouldn't even consider upgrading

what motherboard?

[prisma mountain]

I'm doing a whole rebuild

Brand new pc

[hoary zodiac]

oh wait it's am5 anyways

[opaque sedge]

Most upper mid range hardware rn are consistently out of stock and production rn prolly in preparation for new launches

[hoary zodiac]

ryzen 9000 is extremely mediocre

9800X3D is quite literally the only exception

9800X3D is the ONLY ryzen 9000 cpu worth buying over ryzen 7000 at the moment

so I'd either get ryzen 7000 or 9800X3D

if you have to buy right now I'd just get a 7800X3D

[opaque sedge]

Does he have a microcenter near him?

[hoary zodiac]

unless you can get a 9800X3D at msrp

[prisma mountain]

That's cause it's the only one with 3d cache which makes a difference for gaming benchmarks. R9 with 3d cache is estimated to come out in January

[hoary zodiac]

honestly R9's not worth it

[prisma mountain]

No 😔

[hoary zodiac]

if you're just playing video games on it it would not make a difference

especially with the X3Ds

[opaque sedge]

Yeah… ur prolly gonna have a hard time getting ur hands on newly released high end hardware at msrp

[hoary zodiac]

and the R9s WILL be scalped to hell

so I'd just stick to the 9800X3D and 5090/5080ti whenever that comes out

[prisma mountain]

Yeah see that's my concern with waiting, I wait and I might not even get my hands on the new stuff for MONTHS

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[opaque sedge]

Yeah 9800x3ds might catch up in production by then too

[hoary zodiac]

there are times where building a brand new system are a good idea

most of the year are a good time

but if you're looking at buying cutting edge

this is one of the worst possible times for it

[prisma mountain]

You're making very valid points and I'm realizing it just keeps coming back to I'm impatient. I'll try to reflect and be patient. Thanks for your input.

[hoary zodiac]

a 4090 might become outdated in a couple months

so

that's gonna really hurt

[opaque sedge]

Between summer and fall seems like the best time for buying right?

[prisma mountain]

It might become outdated but it's not going to not be able to satisfy my gaming needs, there'll just be something better.

[hoary zodiac]

I usually just wait until the aftermarket models come out

that's usually when I buy

[hoary zodiac]

outdated can be good

I usually buy a generation older

[opaque sedge]

Prolly wont be outdated but it will be a gutpunch when another newly released card performs similarly for cheaper or significantly better at the same price

[hoary zodiac]

80% of the performance for 3/4 the price

[hoary zodiac]

that's what I mean

the top end is really prone to getting destroyed by a lower tier next gen card that's half the price

[opaque sedge]

Yeah like the 3090 with current gen upper mid range stuff

[hoary zodiac]

If I'm buying top end

I'll buy when the aftermarket models are out

[opaque sedge]

7900gre 4070super 7900xt and 4070ti and tis

[hoary zodiac]

7900XT is still $699 btw

gonna get cheaper soon

I love that card idk how it's that cheap but I love it

[opaque sedge]

Man i was malding when those were 620 bucks a couple weeks ago

Since i paid 600 for my 4070 super

[hoary zodiac]

you bought an nvidia?

my condolences

[opaque sedge]

[hoary zodiac]

at mid range too

that's radeon territory

[opaque sedge]

Only nvida card worth getting at mid range and below is the 4070super

Unfortunately

[hoary zodiac]

ehhh

7900XT

I keep saying 6900XT

[opaque sedge]

Or the gre

[hoary zodiac]

7900XT is always cheaper for some reason

[opaque sedge]

I hope they release another gre

[hoary zodiac]

go a tier down

4060Ti still not worth it

6750XTs are like $400

[opaque sedge]

The 4060 and 4060 ti broke pcmr lol

[hoary zodiac]

7900XT and 6750XT are dominating the mid range at the moment

[opaque sedge]

They’re in their value for money phase rn

[hoary zodiac]

nvidia is only good at the high end

[opaque sedge]

7800xt too and the gre as well

The gre seems to have gone out of production tho

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

some retailers still have stock

not many tho

still available in AU market

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/yqJj2x

~$1150 for this whole thing

not my proudest work

aussie market is wack

this is not value optimised btw

it's more of a marketable pc than a best value pc

[frigid stag]

4070 super and higher

[sweet phoenix]

7600/x should be similarly priced

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/kC67XR

[coral pawn]

People try to suggest certain graphic cards but nvidia has so many settings stuff to screw around with

[frigid stag]

Ye they got a lot of features

[coral pawn]

I want to be able to run reshade with my nvidia card with a realistic graphics pack

Not all gpus can do that personal preference nvidia as a company i love their cards

[sweet phoenix]

Both my 3060 ti and 2080 ti have had issues specific to nvidia and I've not used a single feature from them in the four years I've had a pc

[coral pawn]

And willing to spend 800$-1800$ on their products

[sweet phoenix]

Their features are gimmicks

[coral pawn]

I say this either performance and cheaper price or better graphics and a card that you can use and have a smooth experience with everything

Im not a follower so im not going to go over to linux esp with a radeon bc I aint getting one my first pc was a nvidia card fantastic experience just built a 4 thousand dollar pc 4070 ti super buils with a 14900K

I use it

You don’t

Thats why I said it’s personal preference and choice

Oh right

Thats what im saying but they stay yapping bramd fan boys

All they use their gpu for is gaming

I do alot of stuff on my pc so why would I get a gpu thats mainly for gaming im trying to get into unreal eng

They say higher fps if they think fps determines everything ima laugh

They also said spend more on your gpu

Spend more on your cpu and gpu best decision i made

[frigid stag]

Ye both are important

[coral pawn]

Crucial

32gb of ddr5 30L timing

6000

I threw 1 tb stick in

I got a good distance on the samsung 990 pro

It was 100$ got it for 88$

Plus its fast booting yk

Real

It was good talking man

[sweet phoenix]

Lmao

[fair onyx]

ok, I know this is probably a really stupid question, but...

Do they make Sata to m.2 converters?

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah

[fair onyx]

oh, they do?

I would really actually like to get one, cause m.2 drives are so close in price to sata ones, I could have them be faster when I upgrade my mobo and move them to full m.2, and also they have much faster sequential, even if their top speed would be massively capped

Also, how is silicon power as a company? Cause they have a 2TB gen4 m.2 for $95, and I am really considering

[sweet phoenix]

Wait

I misunderstood this

As in you want to connect an m.2 drive to a sata port?

Idt that exists, m.2 to usb of course does

[fair onyx]

ah yeah, that was the goal

I guess I could just do USB to m.2. I'd prefer something a bit more secure tho

[craggy shoal]

@fading peak why the friend request?

[fading peak]

ummmmm just wanted to send it to u

[craggy shoal]

you don't want to be friends with me

I'm the worst persons you can be friends with

[fading peak]

[craggy shoal]

[fair onyx]

@sweet phoenixDo you know anything about silicon power?

[craggy shoal]

@fading peak TO THE BLOCK LIST YOU GO

BYE BYE

[fading peak]

[fading peak]

daym bro is a menace

[craggy shoal]

there's like two people in this server I have blocked now lol

[fair onyx]

I am not sure why, when you open and read all of their messages lol

[craggy shoal]

I think it's funny lol

[storm narwhal]

Lol fair

[devout forum]

It exists

[fair onyx]

no crap-

where could I buy one?

[devout forum]

IDK for where you live

[fair onyx]

I had a feeling it HAD to exist haha

[craggy shoal]

is that specifically for NVMe drives or is just changing from SATA to SATA M.2?

[devout forum]

but I can just order it here lol

[fair onyx]

US, California to be specific

[fading peak]

guys

[devout forum]

As far as I can tell it looks like an NVME keyed one

[fading peak]

i am willing to buy a new pc

[craggy shoal]

interesting

[pliant berry]

But why

[fading peak]

but i only have like 1100 $

[craggy shoal]

I think I have a couple of those I got from some work PCs. I wonder how good they work. I don't trust them lol

[devout forum]

B key is NVME right?

[fair onyx]

I just wanna be able to buy more nvme drives, cause I can put them into proper slots later

[fading peak]

so?

can u choose me the specs

[craggy shoal]

M key is NVMe

[fading peak]

cause like idk what to buy

i got to many options

[opaque sedge]

Guys look at this small ass watermelon i found

[velvet summit]

[fair onyx]

Yeah lol

[opaque sedge]

Its pretty darn sweet

[fading peak]

just tell me what to buy

[craggy shoal]

What do you want?

[opaque sedge]

Better than the normal watermelons imo

[fading peak]

what the specs to buy

[craggy shoal]

bro I just woke up

you're not even asking the the right guy

go ask in #building-and-recc-chat

[opaque sedge]

Its almost always u who deals with this lol

Even with me when i was having software troubles

[craggy shoal]

not even the right channel to start asking for build stuff

[fading peak]

tell me that already

[opaque sedge]

Lmaoo

[craggy shoal]

Then why ask again lol

[fading peak]

anyways ty

[craggy shoal]

np :)

#building-and-recc-chat lol

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah kinda

What abt them?

[fair onyx]

are they trust worthy? Like, would I be fien to buy one of their super budget drives?

[sweet phoenix]

Model>brand but I dont know of any silicon power ssds with major issues, even their cheapest ones

Like the nvme a55 is basically as bad as nvmes get and it's perfectly fine

[sweet phoenix]

What size are you looking for?

2tb?

[fair onyx]

yeah, the 2TB

[sweet phoenix]

Id probably do p400 lite or mp44l for 2tb rn

[fair onyx]

oh wow, the P400 lite is actually cheaper... would you look at that

[sweet phoenix]

Ud90 isn't bad but mp44l is slightly better

P400 lite is too i think, not like you'll notice it really either way

[fair onyx]

Yeah, i don't need super high speeds. All of my drives I have now are about 3GB/s and they work exceptionally well for what I need/do

[novel bramble]

Yall, how long should I use a mouse before replacing it?

(Currently using a Logitech G pro Wireless)

[tacit geode]

till it breaks

[novel bramble]

Say less

[tacit geode]

dont break it

[novel bramble]

*grabs hammer

[tacit geode]

i knew you were gonna say that

lol

[novel bramble]

Lmao, what would you consider as “broken”

[tacit geode]

lets say when you click and it double clicks sometimes

ive seen that happen with alot of my mice over the years

and in your case

battery life unless it uses batteries

[velvet summit]

which is easily repairable most of the time

[tacit geode]

if you have the soldering skills

and patience

most of the time its the wswitch itself

[velvet summit]

sometimes electrical contact cleaner works, but swapping out a switch is just 3 big pins to solder

[tranquil pebble]

switching it up

[tacit geode]

in my case it was cheaper to just replace

lol

i used to use cheap 30$ logitech gaming mice

now i own a mouse that costs more than I'd care to replace

[tranquil pebble]

I use a Razer mouse I got for about $30

[tacit geode]

https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/g903-hero-wireless-gaming-mouse.html this with https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mouse-pads/powerplay-wireless-charging.html

its awesome lol

never have to worry about batteries or wires since it just sits under my desk mat

all my peripherals are logitech

my keyboard is g915 wireless

then the g733 headset with logitech speakers too

lol

and a yeti microphone

[tranquil pebble]

wireless charging for a mouse is actually genius

[tacit geode]

yeah its nice tbh

[opaque sedge]

Guys i think its happening

Gpus are getting sold out

My local microcenter has barely any left

[tranquil pebble]

I don't even have a microcenter anywhere even remotely close to me

[pliant berry]

I want to start a rasp pi collection

[wary fjord]

u need a best buy and micro center employee friend

to hold stuff for u

xD

and just give him 20-50 bucks for doing it xD

[opaque sedge]

50 BUCKS THATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 7800xt AND 4070super

10 bucks or no bueno

[pliant berry]

That’s probably just the holiday season kicking in. I don’t see another gpu shortage happening soon

[opaque sedge]

Jk

[wary fjord]

i dont know xD in us 50 something u just eat in one day

xD

its indeed big on my country xD

how much u should tip a guy that hold stuff for u??

[pliant berry]

Ye 50usd is maybe 2 trips to McDonald’s

but you're paying more

[opaque sedge]

But it could reach like 300-350 if production doesn’t end and goes out of stock

But i think we might not have the market we had with the 6000 series this year with the 7000 series next year ngl

this is him

guys ill overspend on crap for a pc cause "i suddenly have money cuz crypto"

200$ cooler 560$ storage drive 379$ case and 500$ motherboard

like bro

[rancid juniper]

._.

[tacit geode]

even i had crypto blow up and got that kind of money i'd spend maybe 5k on the whole pc

[rancid juniper]

if i had good money on crypto id spend 2k max on a pc

[tacit geode]

but thats with monitors and other peripherals

[rancid juniper]

anything overboard is useless

[tacit geode]

im referring to whole setup

lol

[rancid juniper]

ik, im just talking about pc alone

[tacit geode]

also i have other things added to my pc that would need to be upgraded. like my networking

maybe 3500max

1.4PB of nvme

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

Buy it

[tacit geode]

@dusk knot can i borrrow 370,201.51

[opaque sedge]

And an ultrawide qd oled

Cant forget the ultrawide qdoled

[rancid juniper]

oh

[opaque sedge]

4k

Over 360hz

No card is reaching those frames

But when u have FU money

U need an ultrawide qd oled

Its a rite of passage

[craggy shoal]

4090 could probably do 1440p 480 Hz on COD

(After optimizing COD)

[opaque sedge]

Also that fancy very niche display port version

2.1

[devout forum]

Is there even a 480hz 1440p screen yet?

I don't think even DP80 can run that full tilt without DSC

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure there ones that exceed 500

[devout forum]

At 1080p sure

540hz 1080p LCDs are a thing

[opaque sedge]

No way this is 650 bucks now

[opaque sedge]

Looks like there’s a few

Well two

Lemme confirm if they arent those weird dual mode ones

[pliant berry]

Im just waiting for 27” 4k oled to be a thing at a reasonable price

[devout forum]

AOC has a QD-OLED at below 700 iirc

Though it might be 1440p

[pliant berry]

Yup

[safe cape]

there is +1000hz...

[pliant berry]

I think i saw one 4k 27” oled from asus but it was 60hz and like 1500usd

[opaque sedge]

Gotta until there’s an 12k market with another type of niche luxurious panel then

And you will prolly start waiting for that to be affordable too

[devout forum]

Kinda feels like began, the OLED Wars have

[pliant berry]

Maybe 5k display

[opaque sedge]

8k is alr a thing right

[pliant berry]

I might just have to settle for lcd

[pliant berry]

Yeah at least for tvs

[opaque sedge]

For those ultra luxury televisions

Yeah

Good for tinder

Because that build is fire

[dusk knot]

if it works. yes

[wary fjord]

Hmm tragic.
Why you need that to start a car

[proud jackal]

[lone mango]

I love electrification

We need more of it

Clearly

[nocturne flicker]

It isn't a fault of electrification, but rather computerization. Gib physical panel stuff and less computers

[dusk knot]

scary

shes stil alive tho

[nocturne flicker]

My 2015 Ford Escape has a simpler computer in it that doesn't require software updates and has both digital and physical panel stuff and it works fine, no reason they can't do that in modern cars except they want you to be more reliant upon them

[wary fjord]

Sli seems outdated now

[nocturne flicker]

That and they are too lazy to actually fully flesh out their software before launch

[opaque sedge]

bro didnt have bottom mounted intakes bro had botton mounted jet engines

[nocturne flicker]

What is the better option, spend the time and money to fully develop and improve the software for the speeding hunks of metal that can cause mass fatalities if they malfunction or let the buyer be our test dummies and roll out patches as they die provide valuable feedback to us for free

[wary fjord]

Soon u need subscription to use your car

Or u have to watch ads before entering ur car

But the pros is the cost of that car is cheaper

[nocturne flicker]

That is never cheaper. You trade upfront cost for long term costs and time sinks

Basically turning the car into something you have to purchase and then rent the rights to use

Just another way to commit legal theft

[wary fjord]

XD theres a movement going on now ... Where you dont own anything at all

[pliant berry]

Subscription for car already exists

[wary fjord]

Deym

Lol back in aday this is the price of this nvme

Good thing they calm down now adays

[dusk knot]

when was this???

[wary fjord]

No idea xD

Nice dallas ur on the news

[tacit geode]

hmmm

[dusk knot]

Oh my god. Makes these prices illegal, Newegg 😕

[tacit geode]

nice pricing

[dusk knot]

Right? Should be higher

[dusk knot]

The lowest price

💀

[rancid juniper]

heh

there are lower prices but the sellers either have low reviews or seem sus

[dusk knot]

Imagine the 5090

We will see 5 grand

[rancid juniper]

found this too

gpu still stupid expensive

[dusk knot]

By 1 grand

[rancid juniper]

ye

[dusk knot]

The 4090 should just be 1000 dollars

That would be nice.

[rancid juniper]

nah it will easily sell if so

[dusk knot]

Nvidia wouldn't mind

They'll drown in money

And go out of business

[rancid juniper]

why do that when you can squeeze every $$$ out of the customer

they love that game

[nocturne flicker]

Rent a 5090 for 200 a month

Fun

[rancid juniper]

-NZXT + Nvidia collab

[nocturne flicker]

Rentier economy go brrrr

[dusk knot]

Honestly

I'm going to pay monthly

I have a best buy credit card

[rancid juniper]

you're catching L's JP

[dusk knot]

What a world!

[wary fjord]

I have a guess... This is a diversion or excuse to make 5000 series 4k grand like i predicted

[dusk knot]

Oh god. You're making us lose hope

[dusk knot]

Sad how that's considered reasonable now

[rancid juniper]

gonna be worse when 5090 comes out

3k+ a pop

[wary fjord]

With this prices 4 grand on 5000 series will look like a normal price

[rancid juniper]

AND PEOPLE WILL STILL BUY

jp setting an example fr

😂

[dusk knot]

AMD isn't good enough for me

[wary fjord]

Yes because they can the only people that gonna be bothered by this is poor gang like me xD

[nocturne flicker]

5k for a 5090 or you can pay 200 a month to the all new Nvidia GPU rental service called Nvidia Share

[rancid juniper]

dont worry, intel will save us

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[wary fjord]

Intel cant even save themselves

[dusk knot]

At this rate ...no one in going to be able to afford a card in 2 gens

6080 will be 1600

[wary fjord]

If intel comes with gpu par with 5080 sub 300 then we talk..

[rancid juniper]

RTX 5060 6GB, now $950

RTX 5050 4GB, now $700

✅

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry as long as datacenters have questionably sourced money from investors to throw around they won't care about us not affording their cards 😊

[wary fjord]

Rtx 5010 dont forget

[dusk knot]

Intel is our only hope

[rancid juniper]

$500 minimum

[dusk knot]

500 for the heatsink only, broad, case, and fans sold separately

[nocturne flicker]

GTX version of the 5010 that has no RT and is 450 instead

[wary fjord]

U wont even main that xD u know u love green

[rancid juniper]

these gpus aren't consumer cards anymore, just workstation

[wary fjord]

The price of this gpus is like investment

Yet we only use them to play roblox

Minecraft

Memes

XD

Investment for maximum brain rot

[nocturne flicker]

Nah, with an investment I atleast have a chance of making money, gpu loses value the instant I open the box

[rancid juniper]

i still think about the $500 purchase i made for the 7800xt

kinda stings alittle

[wary fjord]

That gpu give u a good run

U know ur old card before that Right?

[rancid juniper]

that it did

6700xt

upgrade wasn't that worth it imo

[wary fjord]

Its night and day when u got that xD remember that feeling

Hahaha

[rancid juniper]

like it gave me extra frames for 1440p sure

and i can use av1 stuff

[dusk knot]

500 is nothing

[wary fjord]

Ow not that card then u have the old card

Whats that again

[rancid juniper]

CHUMP CHANGE??!?!?!??!

[dusk knot]

Lol

[rancid juniper]

jp loaded confirmed

[rancid juniper]

GTX 1060 before 6700xt

[dusk knot]

No I'm poor, Just mildly unreasonable

[nocturne flicker]

$500 is a paycheck and a half for me

[rancid juniper]

oh man...

[wary fjord]

Why 6080 aim for 6090

[dusk knot]

No way....

[nocturne flicker]

I get paid weekly tho

[dusk knot]

Oh

More money than me

[wary fjord]

Minum wage here is 500 pesos so guess what 500 dollar is for me xD but yeah different economy but still.. xD stuff i want has us price on it not ph Price xD

They should open a factory in ph

[nocturne flicker]

Minimum wage here is $7.25 an hour

[wary fjord]

We dont have hourly rate

We have daily

25 bucks a day

[dusk knot]

My pay per hour is good, just not the hours

[wary fjord]

XD

[nocturne flicker]

My pay per hour isn't that good, I just am full time

[wary fjord]

U need to be successful artist soon

[dusk knot]

You're right

[wary fjord]

[nocturne flicker]

[wary fjord]

On repeat

[nocturne flicker]

Sit in kiosk 40 hrs a week

Take money when customer comes up, do the trash and find something, anything to do in your free time or you just have to sit and stare

And there is a lot of free time

how do i ship a cpu

[random osprey]

in a box and then through a shipping carrier such as usps

[icy obsidian]

i mean without damaging the pins

[random osprey]

do you not have the original box and plastic cover?

[icy obsidian]

noo

[random osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-you-what-what-did-you-do-spongebob-meme-spongebob-squarepants-gif-19389913

[icy obsidian]

i already sold the cpu on ebay

i have 2 days handling time to figure smth out

[nocturne flicker]

Gg, game over

[icy obsidian]

where do i get old cpu packaging

[tacit geode]

ebay

[icy obsidian]

i dont have time for shipping

[tacit geode]

this is why you think of these things before selling stuff

[icy obsidian]

i didnt think it would be bought this quickly

[hoary zodiac]

it's a top of the line cpu

[nocturne flicker]

You might be able to slap together something similar with card board and some tape. Otherwise sol

[hoary zodiac]

ehhh

I'd rather just get a plastic cpu cover on ebay

and then wrap it in cardboard and bubble wrap

[icy obsidian]

no? is this sarcastic?

[hoary zodiac]

9800X3D right?

or was that the other guy

[icy obsidian]

uh no. im selling a 3600x

[hoary zodiac]

I'd get one of these plastic cases first

[nocturne flicker]

He has to ship it out within a limited time frame

[hoary zodiac]

how limited?

[random osprey]

2 days

[hoary zodiac]

bruh

is there even a way to safely get it shipped?

bubble wrap?

feels like a pin would get damaged somewhere

[nocturne flicker]

Slap together a cardboard cpu holder somehow, bubblewrap it and hope it works

[hoary zodiac]

that'd probably be the best

[icy obsidian]

tmrw im gonna go around to computer repair places looking for old packaging

cant ship tonight anyway since staples is closed

[rancid juniper]

[random osprey]

why bro stanced up like that

[rancid juniper]

game would be something you render on blender

each frame = 30 minutes

[rancid juniper]

saw his car totaled and stopped thinking

[velvet summit]

so anywhere from 14-120 years old

or even younger in some countries

[nocturne flicker]

There ain't gonna be a cop who pulls up and arrests you for letting your kid who is a pound under or overweight for a toy car, drive a toy car

Warnings like that are recommendations that obsolve the company of legal responsibilities if you don't listen

[sinful blade]

South Dakota has locations where you can drive at 14

[nocturne flicker]

You should listen, but they aren't legally enforceable limits

[sinful blade]

So that fits with discords 13 and older rule

[sonic breach]

where i live you have to be 16
