for non-professionals, 1440p180hz >> 1080p240hz
worn wave
And I'm telling you, and them, that 1440p at a lower refresh rate (165/180) is way better
fresh timber
why not both
worn wave
Oh I mean sure lol
fresh timber
1440p isnt mind blowing like i thought it was 
worn wave
But that guy seemed like he was operating within a budget and 1440p240 is probably outside of that
fresh timber
if he wants 1080p 240hz he shall buy it, his money

I saw something similar to this, where you were able to plug ethernet and USB-C power on one end, and on the other side was a USB-C cable to plug into a computer
It was pretty low build quality but I can see why my work ordered them, so that they could order them in large quantities
worn wave
I saw something similar to this, where you were able to plug ethernet and USB-C ...
this seems less sus
cause afaik barrel connectors don't communicate how much power is flowing so I'm not sure what would happen if the USBC side tried to send too much power
hoary zodiac
I think the higher quality ones have a chip that spoof the usb c into providing the wattage they need

Do you already have the parts?
mystic cedar
Do you already have the parts?
nah not yet
hoary zodiac
ok good
hoary zodiac
What do you mean by what you have so far
Do you have these parts in your possession
hoary zodiac
Or do you have it on a shopping list
mystic cedar
havent bought nun yet
hoary zodiac
Ok good
mystic cedar
ye list
hoary zodiac
$600 budget?
mystic cedar
yuh
hoary zodiac
Ok hold up I'll give you the whole package
mystic cedar
bet
mystic cedar
yyuh
mystic cedar
is it added??
mystic cedar
so get the stuff from the list u sent me
mystic cedar
what would the 100 be?
hoary zodiac
6750XT
ehhh
I'd still look for used 2080tis or 3070s
I'd secure a listing for that first before you buy anything
mystic cedar
hollon we can go over 700
hoary zodiac
wait really?
mystic cedar
ye
hoary zodiac
oh just found a 3070
the $600 budget still works
there's a bunch of sub-200 3070s around
mystic cedar
so is it finalized?
mystic cedar
🤣
hoary zodiac
sub-600 you're better off with a used video card
there are a lot of used 20-30 series on the used market
you'd get better performance
mystic cedar
that the one in the video right?
hoary zodiac
no
never trust parts recommendations from some random tiktoker
I mean the list isn't outrageous but
not really optimised either
also that list is likely outdated
parts price change within a week
hoary zodiac
depends on what you can find for the best price
here's another one
5700XTs are normally pretty good for budget builds
they're pretty cheap in general and there's a decent availability
hoary zodiac
yes
hoary zodiac
hoary zodiac
and u said go with thte 5700xt?
that is one of the options yet
but if you come across a better deal on used cards
mystic cedar
what the best option
hoary zodiac
the used market fluctuates a lot
I can only speak generally
the 5700xt is generally solid
but it might not be the best option for the price
worn wave
used 3060ti/3070/6700xt/6750xt would be a nice bump over the 5700xt if you could fit it into the budget
hoary zodiac
used 2080ti should be cheaper no?
worn wave
oh or that yeah
mystic cedar
so a used 3070?
mystic cedar
yes sir
hoary zodiac
used 2080ti/3070/3080/5700xt
whatever you can find the best deal on
the answer is the best deal you can find
mystic cedar
and look on ebay for used gpu's right?
hoary zodiac
yes
or facebook marketplace
but with marketplace make sure the seller tests the card
worn wave
I can help look on ebay real quick - the build without GPU is $377 rn. what's the total budget?
mystic cedar
yes sir
hoary zodiac
$600
worn wave
so 223 for gpu
hoary zodiac
That's a pretty generous budget
mystic cedar
ah
worn wave
ok, in order of increasing performance on the chart:
5700xt - $149, good seller
https://www.ebay.com/itm/196927694263
2080 super - $220, good seller
https://www.ebay.com/itm/126864876979
3060Ti - $240, great seller
https://www.ebay.com/itm/196927439382
2080Ti - $250, great seller, blower cooler
https://www.ebay.com/itm/176767221561
6700xt - $230, no reviews on seller
https://www.ebay.com/itm/186873667776
3070 - $275, great seller
https://www.ebay.com/itm/135405330560
mystic cedar
oooo
worn wave
out of those options I'd probably lean towards the 2080Ti or the 6700xt
hoary zodiac
Blower tho
worn wave
the pics of the 6700xt look legit, and every seller does need to get their foot in the door at some point
the 2080ti will likely be loud, because of the cooler design
mystic cedar
what does the blower
mystic cedar
so 6700xt?
hoary zodiac
Seller could be sus
mystic cedar
oh that too
hoary zodiac
But it is the best priced gpu
hoary zodiac
They do have buyer protection
mystic cedar
ye the protection
hoary zodiac
Usually they favour buyers
mystic cedar
so what do i get?
mystic cedar
that okay
worn wave
might make the 3060ti slightly more enticing value wise
hoary zodiac
Ehhhhh
mystic cedar
hm
hoary zodiac
Yeah sure actually
hoary zodiac
3060ti isn't too bad
It is the better performing gpu per/$
5700xt is next
It's quite a bit slower but still solid perf/$
worn wave
I wouldn't do the 3060ti for a 1440p build but I'm guessing this is 1080p
hoary zodiac
With this budget I wouldn't go 1440p
sweet phoenix
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p6cmC8
Id change this a bit
the 5500 is really mid
the list is fine aside from that honestly, just swap to 5600/x
theres similarly priced case options with fans, but that one is fine
id check out r/hardwareswap for gpu personally
and 2080 ti or similar is solid for 1440p
hoary zodiac
ok yikes

Ngl if it's an inexpensive return for this, I don't think there's a single tuf monitor worth buying rn
It'd have to be like, 150 or less to be remotely worth keeping
Given travel costs and taxes
mortal grail
I don't know the specific model here
But generally speaking none of the tuf monitors are relatively good
It's IPS though which is at least a good start
The VA and TN ones are just plain awful
So you did well on that part
mystic cedar
Ah

Ye
I'm nitpicking btw
So don't think you messed up
But in terms of like, the best for the cost the TUFs always lose to something else

Assuming you can move it back far enough yes

Yup

Tuf military grade itvwont break of you run a tank over it.

Who wants a military grade psu
nocturne flicker
I had to rma my first one because of the PCIe slot failing, the top rgb header on that board had also died, someone jabbed a hole into the box during shipping and chipped the corner of the pcb, got a replacement after arguing with ASUS over it, randomly has a M.2 slot fail, random system crashes and pepeg cpu power reporting after a year of use then kills itself after having a CMOS battery removed
Truely the most military grade. Overly expensive junk that breaks itself
Military grade PSU. The military needs grenades afterall

misty sparrow
stupid question, i just installed Temu for a buddy of mine because he gets referral rewards for doing it
tranquil pebble
bad idea
misty sparrow
why does it seem like this app is entirely a scam
tranquil pebble
because it is scummy as hell
misty sparrow
started it up for the first time and it's throwing free gifts my way and 100 fortune coins or something
pliant berry
its like the wish.com of china except they are even more intrusive with the giveaways and such to lure you
tranquil pebble
and the app is known to be borderline spyware
pliant berry
Not sure how long they will last. apparantly their retention even with all the adverts has been horrible
misty sparrow
it is giving me four free gifts though
essentially along the lines of pick any free item and we'll ship it out
hopefully there IS something useful here i can get
then uninstalling
tranquil pebble
yeah, dont leave that junk installed
misty sparrow
don't know what to look up
misty sparrow
lmao
mortal grail
why does it seem like this app is entirely a scam
It's supposed to be warehouse seconds, stuff that's like, scheduled to be destroyed basically? But I can't vet it at all
It's like when amazon first came out
Everyone was sus of that and stuck to ebay lol
I want to see someone else try it lol
misty sparrow
I just uninstalled it, i'm not even going to bother
looks way too good to be true
app itself looks sketchy
friend got the referral so i'm not going to get anything from them even if it is free

What's the minimum cpu that can do av1 encoding/decoding?
hoary zodiac
hmm
mortal grail
If you want cheap av1 go get an a580
hoary zodiac
What's a good format for haswell-skylake era then
mortal grail
X265
hoary zodiac
This is completely different from what I was talking about hours ago
Different project now
Repurposing a skylake laptop for a media server
For someone else
mortal grail
Well x.265 is the next best thing
hoary zodiac
Yeah alright
since it's software I should be able to run it off say
Sandy bridge?
mortal grail
That's like 4th gen isn't it
hoary zodiac
2nd
mortal grail
Check for x.265/x.264
hoary zodiac
It'll be slow to a crawl
mortal grail
Pick one of those two
hoary zodiac
X265 is software right?
mortal grail
Oh you're right
pliant berry
I also learned very recently that higher bitrate av1 is unplayable even on more modern cpus
hoary zodiac
lol
Basically with the sandy bridges
I currently have access to a crap load of old laptops
So I might use one of them to help digitise some dvds I also got my hands on
mortal grail
I also learned very recently that higher bitrate av1 is unplayable even on more ...
Many have decode, but encode is very new
hoary zodiac
So that's where the sandy bridge cpus come in
pliant berry
this was on 9th and I think 12th gen intel
pliant berry
ye makes sense
mortal grail
UHD was literally ass lol
hoary zodiac
I can have:
Sandy bridge i5
Haswell i5
Kaby lake i5
Skylake i5
Ryzen 9 5900HX
I can have all these machines encoding at the same time
pliant berry
but hey if you just needed an output or quicksync they did fine
mortal grail
I can have all these machines encoding at the same time
I think you're looking at h.265 at least for the newer ones
H.264 will look pretty meh at high res
hoary zodiac
x265 possible on sandy bridge tho?
mortal grail
H.265 lol
hoary zodiac
Or is it going to murder it
mortal grail
I'm not sure but possible
H.265 is actually very old
Sandy bridge is still fine for a nas
If you ask me...
pliant berry
in general h265 is considered slow. this is why you still find h264 more often (that and licensing costs)
hoary zodiac
The sandy bridge is just to copy the dvds onto an iso
hoary zodiac
in general h265 is considered slow. this is why you still find h264 more often (...
h265 is more space efficient tho
Is it harder to stream?
pliant berry
much more cpu intensive on playback
pliant berry
direct might be fine. if you are transcoding then probably not
hoary zodiac
ah
worn wave
DVDs aren't 1080p anyways
hoary zodiac
yeah just future proofing a bit
Speaking of which
Skylake should be able to stream 480p fine right?
Even if transcoding is involved
tranquil pebble
yes, easily
pliant berry
hopefully
fresh timber
are we talkin about transcoding
pliant berry
well over the internet 265 would take up slightly less bandwidth as you had mentioned regarding file sizes
fresh timber
Get a310
hoary zodiac
the budget is $0
We're working with what we have
Holy shoot
Just found a treasure
It's a seagate nas
I wonder if it can handle 2 8TB drives
pliant berry
it's a start
fresh timber
I wonder if it can handle 2 8TB drives
Put 12tb drives
hoary zodiac
it's a start
Is the nas itself reliable tho?
I don't trust seagate drives but what about the hardware?
pliant berry
I have no idea I didn't even know seagate made NAS enclosures. my guess would be the software might not be the best
but you can run NAS' on pretty low power hardware. for just storage it really doesn't require a lot
I've seen a lot of builds with intel celeron and atom chips that run well enough
hoary zodiac
hmm
Update
There's another pc
This one's got a gpu
Kaby lake i7 with a GTX 1060
Is the 1060 worth keeping in or is the igpu just better at transcoding
tranquil pebble
pliant berry
pascal has a lot of codecs but the geforce cards can't do a lot of concurrent streams. (though I don't think that would be an issue for you)
hoary zodiac
hmm
So it's worth keeping in over the kaby lake?
Here's the thing
The psu is dead
Kinda thinking of selling the 1060 for a RM or a AGL

nice cheeky 1000 cpu nas
for instantaneous usage
none of that pesky waiting 2 seconds

Since the cpus have to communicate to each other
However
Some of the xeons have hundreds of megabytes of cache
You could probably stream a movie off that cache

wonderful

ssd nas are for the poor, i have a RAM nas
get ur self some u.2, and a backup server and anything can be a nas

Can a GTX 1060 transcode h265 1080p with nvenc?
I assume it's better than a kaby lake igpu
fresh timber
Can a GTX 1060 transcode h265 1080p with nvenc?
mhh
sell it and get an a310 or intel 12th gen or newer tbh
even an n100 can transcode
hoary zodiac
no
tranquil pebble
Can a GTX 1060 transcode h265 1080p with nvenc?
try it
hoary zodiac
I'll have to run some benchmarks when I get a new psu
