i played HL:A and it looked really lifelike on a 1060 6GB in a VR headset (which is harder than rendering a normal flat display)

why devs struggle with games that don't look as good as HL:A on a flat display is beyond me

[fresh timber]

man

[misty sparrow]

it's probably the ray tracing

[mortal grail]

Just stalker imo

[wise wigeon]

I’m not at 4k or anything

[mortal grail]

Lol

[fresh timber]

starfield

[frigid stag]

Ye your gpu might be close to done then

[hoary zodiac]

Studio execs are stupid and don't let devs work on games properly

[frigid stag]

Could be dying vram

Or something else

[wise wigeon]

If I can max it out and get good frame rates I’ll do it, if now I’ll turn things down

[misty sparrow]

we should go back to baked lighting, raytracing kinda mid

[hoary zodiac]

Here's the thing

[idle nexus]

I only used 16 mods for STALKER2

[mortal grail]

No we should go derper

Cities skylines 2

[hoary zodiac]

RT isn't the issue here

[fresh timber]

i bet 99.9% of these new games could run high fps if the devs optmisesd

[frigid stag]

Idk if you mean like 60 + fps at max settings or

Cause a 3080 can easily do that

[hoary zodiac]

RT is already resource demanding

[mortal grail]

We need RT on every human model and all their teeth

[hoary zodiac]

Now we're adding unoptimised games on top of that

[idle nexus]

tbh STALKER2 was a decent game but I can't imagine replaying it anytime soon

[mortal grail]

PATH TRACED civilians

[fresh timber]

if they optmised their games to run good, then add rt to it, i wouldnt have a problem

[mortal grail]

5 fps is too many

MFG will give us 200

[wise wigeon]

I’m a high refresh person, but with gsync 70-90+ feels fine enough

[idle nexus]

Starfield is such a headache to run & the game is so meh

[hoary zodiac]

I'd argue that it's actually too early for RT now since the industry's actually regressed

[fresh timber]

lets go back to weak hardware so des had to optised their game

[mortal grail]

The irony in this that VRAM usage wouldn't even be a discussion either

[misty sparrow]

i remember playing cyberpunk 2077 and for some reason the game would lag in the character creator, and of course it got to the part where my character was.....well

fill in the blanks

[dusk knot]

Huh?

[fresh timber]

fr

[misty sparrow]

what, do you want a hint or something?

[idle nexus]

check out this channel. The dude knows a lot (or does a really good job faking it at least) & explains why games suck https://www.youtube.com/@ThreatInteractive/videos

[dusk knot]

I already know

Smh

[fresh timber]

why doe the game need to load 8k textures if your using a 1440p monitor

[misty sparrow]

sounded like you didn't

just saying

[dusk knot]

Why CDPR did it was stupid

[hoary zodiac]

We don't want to see your meat we have sore for that

[idle nexus]

from what I understood, UE is supposed to be modified for each game but devs just take it as it comes & smoke & mirror it into disappointment

[misty sparrow]

especially when you can't see it yourself in-game

that part made me sad

i actually tried doing it to see if i could get the police to notice

[mortal grail]

More importantly why does 20% of the game need to sit in vram when I'm in a scene that takes up 2% of the game itself in content

VRAM issues are mostly just devs messing up allocation

[fresh timber]

forza would give me vram errors at 12gb vram sometimes like i have 12gb i shoudlnt be full ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mortal grail]

Historically most of these have been patched

[frigid stag]

Wasn’t there some journalist / Dev keyboard warrior who worked for them saying he wanted to punch gamers on Twitter 💀

[mortal grail]

Exactly my point

[wise wigeon]

I mean there are plenty of good looking games that run well

[mortal grail]

Forza was half baked trash

[idle nexus]

for the most part, everything is now

[misty sparrow]

is indiana jones one of them

[mortal grail]

They have a new gen graphics mode that's half finished in the game files

[fresh timber]

if games where optmised 12gb would be plenty for alot of people

[hoary zodiac]

Plenty that doesn't as well

[wise wigeon]

Yeah unfortunately

[hoary zodiac]

Plenty that are funded by massive studios

[frigid stag]

I can run forza at max settings it’s pretty easy

[hoary zodiac]

That have no excuse

If it was an indie sure

[fresh timber]

same, but it would claim my vram is not enough

[idle nexus]

it's this culture of pump the game out asap; release it half-baked; & only bother to fix it if there are indications it'll be a success

[wise wigeon]

And one of my hyped 2025 games is one of those unoptimized games

[hoary zodiac]

Early access indie? Definitely give them some space

[mortal grail]

Everyone got stuck with graphics from the 2017 game cos they couldn't finish the next gen graphics settings

[misty sparrow]

i dont think forza should be the type of game that drags a 12GB vram graphics card to its bare knees

[hoary zodiac]

But AAA?

[misty sparrow]

it should be something more demanding

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not buying your slop

[misty sparrow]

-# Ark sitting in the corner be like

[hoary zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/babylon5-go-to-hell-sinclair-gif-18996903

[wise wigeon]

Then again mhw was pretty awful on release

[frigid stag]

4k goes crazy

[mortal grail]

It took them months to even get mildly playable lmao

[wise wigeon]

And there is a reason why a performance mod is one of the most downloaded mods

[hoary zodiac]

Which just shows that releasing unfinished games is somehow acceptable nowadays

[mortal grail]

Except it does and medium vs ultra basically the same in more than half the situations

[misty sparrow]

hm

[mortal grail]

They killed their fanbase

[misty sparrow]

i still think ark is worse

[mortal grail]

Like it's dead

[misty sparrow]

it's probably the worst of them all really

[hoary zodiac]

They don't just need patches

They're actually UNFINISHED

[wise wigeon]

Ark game folder size was nuts

[fresh timber]

why do games include ultra settings if i cant run them?

[hoary zodiac]

MONTHS AWAY from finished

[mortal grail]

Horizon still lives but motorsport is dead

Like totally dead almost

[fresh timber]

WHY DOES ARC RUN LIKE DOODOO??

[frigid stag]

It worked ok for me

[fresh timber]

That game would run 30fps on my old pc

[hoary zodiac]

I have the original FH on xb360

[wise wigeon]

Ark having 300+ gb game folder is nuts

[misty sparrow]

I should mess around with Crysis Remastered because it has that "Can It Run Crysis?" setting

[mortal grail]

I played a lot of FM8. That game, any session for the first few months was a crash every hour

It was rubbish

[idle nexus]

I wonder if someone sat you down in a room & had you play a bunch of modern AAA games, each for like 10 minutes then guess whether it's an "Indie" or "AAA" game, how many we'd get wrong guessing Indie lol

[mortal grail]

Even now it's still a basket case

[fresh timber]

ark would run 30fps on a rx6600 and 11600k, it does slgithly better on my 13600kf and 7700xt

[hoary zodiac]

Pretty easy tbh

[fresh timber]

its pretty easy, id reconise the game

[hoary zodiac]

AAA runs worse than indie these days

While looking worse too

[idle nexus]

on a lighter note, has anyone tried Nvidia remix thing?

[misty sparrow]

that's almost all of the base Series S storage space what the hell

[frigid stag]

I’ve never tried fm8

[hoary zodiac]

There's this one Chinese guy who made an entire game that looks like AAA

What's your excuse?

[wise wigeon]

Just look at the UI and for the most part you can tell, the AAA game UI generally looks worse

[mortal grail]

You're not missing anything. Horizon was easily better

[idle nexus]

but just for the sake of the hypothetical, you didn't recognize any of the games

[mortal grail]

FH5 is solid

[frigid stag]

Might be an amd thing though. Some older games have issues with them

[mortal grail]

Makes FM8 look like kindergarten

[frigid stag]

Cause devs don’t optimise

[fresh timber]

id look at the fps, how the game runs, the engine it uses

[idle nexus]

like how often would you think some $50 million game was just some Indie startup thing lol

[misty sparrow]

"I'm American" -AAA dev

[mortal grail]

T10 in particular just rehashed with FH5

[idle nexus]

lol you're fighting the hypo here

[hoary zodiac]

I haven't bought a single AAA game in ages

[mortal grail]

FM8 they got halfway done rehashing and released it

[fresh timber]

pirate?

[hoary zodiac]

I've just been playing my decade old map game

[wise wigeon]

You’re missing out on some bangers

[misty sparrow]

the last AAA game i bought was probably uhh

does helldivers even count?

[fresh timber]

i own very few games

[misty sparrow]

it's technically indie but financed by sony

[idle nexus]

for me it was CyberPunk

[mortal grail]

Yesn't

[hoary zodiac]

Nah

[idle nexus]

I played others cuz of GamePass tho

[frigid stag]

Eh

[misty sparrow]

if helldivers 2 doesnt count then mass effect LE would

[hoary zodiac]

Nothing worth my money

[misty sparrow]

that's AAA

[fresh timber]

i mean look at fortnite, live servie aaa title, went thorugh many graphics overhall

[hoary zodiac]

Ehhhhh

[wise wigeon]

There are quite a few good AAAs

[idle nexus]

STALKER2 pretty decent; Starfield straight trash

[hoary zodiac]

That's sort of sort of not

[wise wigeon]

Just there is a lot of slop

[fresh timber]

for fortnite being a game released in 2017 does not look like a 2017 game

[hoary zodiac]

nope

[idle nexus]

I wanted to like Starfield

[hoary zodiac]

Not paying for them

[idle nexus]

I invested a lot of time

[wise wigeon]

Like you can mostly ignore anything from Ubisoft

[hoary zodiac]

Until they stop putting out slop

[misty sparrow]

a lot of people like to make fun of fortnite but it's actually technically impressive under the hood

[idle nexus]

heck I even had like 100 mods & couldn't find a way to love it

[frigid stag]

Cuz they added nanite and lumen and what not

[fresh timber]

bro its such a nice looking game

[misty sparrow]

it's a shame all of it is used....for hatsune miku hitting the griddy with master chief in a japanese world

[mortal grail]

Every time I see fortnite I remember sea of theives

[fresh timber]

forntiet looks very nice at higher settings

[hoary zodiac]

10+ year old game 👍🏻

[mortal grail]

[frigid stag]

And a bunch of other graphical bs which no one asked for

[idle nexus]

lol it's such an easy game to make it look nice because it's a cartoon

[fresh timber]

and? for the people who like it it looks nice

[tranquil pebble]

lol so true

[frigid stag]

It runs so badly

[idle nexus]

& UE5 works well for it because UE5 was basically made for it

[misty sparrow]

the technical advancements make it so much better than its OG 2017 counterpart

[frigid stag]

No hardware can fix the skill issue of epic devs

[misty sparrow]

but still correct

[fresh timber]

it the shadows and higher graphical settings didnt distract me and made it harder to play the game, id use higher settings on fortnite

[wise wigeon]

I mean I prefer stylized art over realistic

Ages better

[misty sparrow]

-# I thought halo infinite looked good for this reason

[fresh timber]

real, if i wanted realistic id go outside

[idle nexus]

lol fair but they've had 8 years to work on it

[mortal grail]

Sea of theives still has some of the best looking water I have ever seen in a game and that was a 2017 release

[idle nexus]

I mean that's going to high school twice

[mortal grail]

And it's not running RT

[idle nexus]

think about how long that is lol

[misty sparrow]

crysis 2 looks like it came out in 2018

the OG version

[mortal grail]

I think WT could compete for good looking water now

[wise wigeon]

Considering how often it’s on your screen it better look good

[frigid stag]

Epic: preventing cheaters ❎
Epic removing windows 7 support ✅

[fresh timber]

man i play wt then get upset

[mortal grail]

It only took other games nearly 10 years to catch up to SoT water

[misty sparrow]

to be fair removing Win7 support is understandable

[fresh timber]

are we really getting to a point where release date of games dont reflect the graphics now

[misty sparrow]

everyone's doing it

[mortal grail]

Cos art >>>>> stupid fps taxing graphics

[idle nexus]

Fallout 4 with ENBseries & mods for me isn't really that much worse looking than Stalker2 or Starfield imo

[hoary zodiac]

There are games that look worse than GTA V btw

[frigid stag]

That doesn’t make it good

[misty sparrow]

Win7 is an end of service operatings ystem

[hoary zodiac]

It is a security issue

[misty sparrow]

no service no support

[fresh timber]

why keep windows 7 support?

[wise wigeon]

Depends on which version of gtav you’re looking at

[fresh timber]

theirs no reason to

[hoary zodiac]

It's morally acceptable

[misty sparrow]

but anyway GTAV looks surprisingly good but the PC port doesn't do it justice

[frigid stag]

Cause everything else runs worse

[fresh timber]

windows 7 came out in 2009, its time for it to go

[wise wigeon]

PS3 gtav was rough

[idle nexus]

case in point: if you play Fortnite on Nintendo Switch (you can; I tried; it's awful), many players are shown as default characters even tho they actually have skins lol

[frigid stag]

Yeah if they actually came out with a good os after that

[misty sparrow]

PC port suffers from a bunch of jagged areas with bad antialiasing no matter what graphics settings you apply

[hoary zodiac]

Runs on an igpu too

[fresh timber]

thats because the switch can barley run its own games

[hoary zodiac]

Could scrape by with a UHD630

With GTA V

[fresh timber]

and overwatch is ass

[mortal grail]

Switch is too low end imo for that lmao

[fresh timber]

play rivals

[frigid stag]

😭

[fresh timber]

to be fair the switch also struggles to do more than 50mbps on wifi

[misty sparrow]

yeah i ran it on a school laptop that had an 8th gen chip...not sure what model, but it had a "U" at the end

[idle nexus]

I know. I played Pokemon Sword & it was just terrible, even on the dock

[mortal grail]

OW is a demonstration of what devs are doing but they're failing at every step lmao

[frigid stag]

Rivals would destroy my gpu. I don’t want to play at like 60 fps

[misty sparrow]

of course couldn't run it at 1080p

[wise wigeon]

That’s on gamefreak

[misty sparrow]

ran it at 720p and was playing it in class

every day

[mortal grail]

OW2 is like every next gen AAA release in a nutshell

Same game but worse

[fresh timber]

?? my friend plays at 60-70 on a 1660 super just fine

[frigid stag]

Ow runs at 40p to 500 fps 😌

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

I should try running GTA V on a Kaby Lake laptop

[idle nexus]

1080p just doesn't looks great upscaled to 4k on a large TV

[fresh timber]

just play at 1080p and sit back

[wise wigeon]

Botw and Totk are technical marvels considering the hardware it runs on

[mortal grail]

Isn't 600 the engine cap

[frigid stag]

Yeah

My pc isn’t optimal yet

[idle nexus]

lol then explain Breath of the Wild

[frigid stag]

I could hit 600 if I tweaked it

[misty sparrow]

I'm actually impressed Crytek fit Crysis 2 on there considering the specs

[mortal grail]

Perfect example of why we don't need stupid hardware requirements to get something genuinely good

[idle nexus]

the worst part about playing games on PC is everything else looks so meh

you become a game snob

[fresh timber]

ursj

[wise wigeon]

?botw runs well for the hardware

[frigid stag]

Don’t most people use pc for gaming

[fresh timber]

yes

it runs very good

[mortal grail]

Biggest market is in fact mobile nowadays

[fresh timber]

im shocked how well bowt runs

[frigid stag]

Even in some 3rd world countries its more popular just lower end hardware

[idle nexus]

can't associate with those console caveman people anymore

[misty sparrow]

-# i keep mentioning Crysis 2 but no one in 2025 has probably ever heard of crysis lmao

[frigid stag]

Ye that makes sense

[wise wigeon]

I mean I’m still gonna buy a switch 2

[idle nexus]

ya but imagine how it would've looked on PC

I didn't realize how truly bad Switch was until I tried playing Fortnite on it

[hoary zodiac]

There are probably indies that looks and runs better than AAA

[mortal grail]

Phones can basically run like PS3 level graphics now

[cursive oasis]

i hope botw and totk get 60fps patches on the switch 2

[wise wigeon]

Just look at it running on cemu modded

[fresh timber]

only consoles i like rn are my ps5,

[misty sparrow]

...and all of it is wasted on RAID Shadow Legends or some other dumb game

[fresh timber]

my nintendo switch lives in my dresser dead

[hoary zodiac]

GTA V port when

[idle nexus]

Fortnite on Switch is a 17gb download. Fortnite on PC is like 104gb lol

[mortal grail]

Hey it's the biggest market end of the day

[fresh timber]

no?

[mortal grail]

[fresh timber]

u can get fortnite to be smaller

[frigid stag]

Ye the iPhone 15 pro has ray tracing 💀

[idle nexus]

it streams the textures ya

[frigid stag]

And can run resident evil idek what number it’s now

Probably 8 or smthn

[misty sparrow]

iphone 15 pro can run re7, re8, re4 remake, re2 remake, re3 remake

[fresh timber]

this is with almost everything installed

[misty sparrow]

and also a bunch of others

[mortal grail]

I love how apple boasts game support then shows literally 2 pc games and that's it

[idle nexus]

on Switch it's only 17gb

[mortal grail]

"SO MANY ACTIVITIES"

[fresh timber]

this is with everyting uninstlled

[hoary zodiac]

Like using tiktok

[misty sparrow]

"here's no mans sky and resident evil 8, go have fun bye"

[fresh timber]

they had to fit forntite within a 64gb console

[hoary zodiac]

Tiktok is the only game you need

https://tenor.com/view/moving-spiral-weaving-pattern-optical-illusion-gif-17167631

[tranquil pebble]

Meanwhile Valve with Proton...

[frigid stag]

I remember playing that cod game on phone when I was 12. Think they got rid of that on App Store now

[fresh timber]

fortnite on switch prob has the lowest possible graphics, everything not important stripped out, streaming skins into its ram prob

[hoary zodiac]

Not to mention that one guy on github

[frigid stag]

I haven’t seen someone run fortnite on a switch in years

[tranquil pebble]

list of games that dont run is far shorter than the list of ones that do

[misty sparrow]

"Tick-tock, heavy like a Brinks truck-"

[wise wigeon]

World at war zombies

Good times

[pliant berry]

it's because they dominate the mobile game market and are starting to support those games on desktop as well

[frigid stag]

Yes! that

[fresh timber]

i want a legion go 2, best handheld console ever

[pliant berry]

that is the only way they can really brag about game support

[hoary zodiac]

Black Ops II is peak

Played it on the Xbox 360

[fresh timber]

my head hurts lookingat my monitors

[misty sparrow]

a friend played Fortnite on his Switch on a big screen when I was using a PS5, we both just played together and it was fine

[mortal grail]

Personal view

[misty sparrow]

he actually did really great on switch it wasn't a bot lobby

[hoary zodiac]

Wanted to get it on pc but activision is too greedy to lower the price

[mortal grail]

If every game ran like xbox 360 graphics

[wise wigeon]

Man Xbox, how the mighty have fallen

[mortal grail]

I reckon we'd have way more fun these days

[hoary zodiac]

I don't even care about graphics anymore I just want a good game

[fresh timber]

the switch 2 lowkey is the frist nintendo console in a while that impresses me

[frigid stag]

Tbf it is pretty easy to run

[mortal grail]

Fr

[hoary zodiac]

Everything about AAA is trash these games

[fresh timber]

fortnite ez

[wise wigeon]

Aren’t like 3:1 or 5:1 in sales compared to PlayStation rn?

[hoary zodiac]

Games run like trash, plays like trash, costs too much

[frigid stag]

Depends on the game

[hoary zodiac]

I'd rather better gameplay and mid graphics

[fresh timber]

want good ame?

[frigid stag]

There’s some I do want to play like black ops 6

[misty sparrow]

honestly what is this ad campaign

[misty sparrow]

this ad campaign is so laughably bad

[hoary zodiac]

Xbox series X

[wise wigeon]

I mean if you wanna get technical, considering inflation games are technically cheaper

[hoary zodiac]

Xbox s-

[fresh timber]

that ends my good game list

[tranquil pebble]

one of the most memeable things to come out of Xbox marketing

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah well everything else isn't so

Gotta pay rent

[frigid stag]

PC’s are cheaper if you compare it to like the 2000s

Needed to replace a 3000$ pc in 2 years 💀

[misty sparrow]

This is an Xbox that goes in your garage

[wise wigeon]

Pc gaming was a true hobbyist thing in the past

[mortal grail]

Instead of gaming being more expensive, now food is more expensive

[wise wigeon]

Just stop eating so much smh

[frigid stag]

Was better cuz it filtered out the worst players

[mortal grail]

Let me just skip 2 meals instead of 1

I'll live

[hoary zodiac]

Xbox Live chat was natural selection

[tranquil pebble]

This slowed down toward the Core 2 era

and especially with the first i7

[wise wigeon]

Eh being rich doesn’t give you skill

[frigid stag]

Yah probably around there

[idle nexus]

lol for real. How does it load games from the stupid SD Card I got? aren't SD Cards like not designed to be accessed that frequently?

[fresh timber]

i want a xbox series s just for its form factor

[hoary zodiac]

I was using a core 2 in 2018

[idle nexus]

Also, Resident Evil 4 was pretty good imo

someone mentioned that before

[mortal grail]

Tbf games were actually so good that you got more than 2 years of play time tho

[frigid stag]

Not just that, it actually took knowledge to make a pc work

[misty sparrow]

they are actually pretty fast all things considered

[tranquil pebble]

I was using a Core i7 920 in about 2009 or so

[misty sparrow]

i used ubuntu off an sd card and was surprised at how well it was doing

[wise wigeon]

Difference between like just loading stuff and running a whole OS

[misty sparrow]

it wasn't perfect but it was working

[fresh timber]

so the switch, steamdeck, legion go, rog ally etc, they let you game off sd cards, load time are a bit higher compaed to internal ssd but all this considered games like cyberpunk run fine

[idle nexus]

ya but the concern isn't really speed but the constant reading & writing like a typical storage drive. I don't think SD cards handle that well

[frigid stag]

Ngl I think most people were on Xbox. Back then

[fresh timber]

if ur just loading games and not really installing alot and stuff your fine

the sd card for my switch is a few years old

[misty sparrow]

Wii, actually

Most people were on Wii

[frigid stag]

Like you hear about these mw2 lobbies and they’re all basically on xbox vc

[mortal grail]

We were and halo reach was the best game ever

[frigid stag]

Very few pc players in those recordings

[misty sparrow]

but Xbox 360 nearly beat PS3 and it was crazy

in terms of games

imagine that now where Xbox was actually pumping out good games

[hoary zodiac]

Consoles?

[fresh timber]

im glad my parents bought me a ps4 over wii u

[frigid stag]

Yeah and I somehow picked the ps3 💀

[hoary zodiac]

Having games?

[wise wigeon]

Somehow the ps3 had a second wind and beat 360 out by the end of the generation

[hoary zodiac]

Ha

[idle nexus]

same here but I was under the impression that, at least in comparison to SSDs, M.2s, & maybe even HDDs, SD cards wear out quicker because they're not really designed for constant use the same way

[misty sparrow]

PS3 was great in later years just not in earlier years

you still got Uncharted

Uncharted is great

[frigid stag]

Idek when I got it must’ve been like 11years ago or something 💀

[wise wigeon]

Xbone was that hard of a flop lol

[mortal grail]

Tons of games were amazing. Thing is back then devs had much less work to do in not quite as much time

[tranquil pebble]

Xbone flop so hard it causes harm to both previous and next gens lol

[wise wigeon]

Yeah you can’t really get away with making majoras mask in a year type development anymore

[frigid stag]

What’s wrong with xbox 1 💀

[wise wigeon]

And even then that was heavily supplemented by reusing OoT assets

[idle nexus]

heck how do they measure life of a storage device... let me figure this out lol

[wise wigeon]

Tbw

[mortal grail]

But accountants back then also weren't gutting studios like they do now

[misty sparrow]

"We have a device for people with no internet, it's called Xbox 360"

CEO at the time was not intelligent

[wise wigeon]

In terms of ssds tbw

[idle nexus]

okay so it's measured in TBW or terabytes written

[wise wigeon]

Terabytes written

[tranquil pebble]

How to plummit your stocks speedrun

[idle nexus]

a 500gb SN850 has an expected life of 300TBW; 600 TBW at 1TB; & 1200TBW at 2TB

[wise wigeon]

And you’d be hard pressed to wear out a ssd warranty from just that alone

[frigid stag]

Same guy thought the windows phone would beat the iPhone.....and they thought iOS would flop compared to black berry 💀

Not the best track record

[hoary zodiac]

I should probably get my SSD rma'd tbh

it might still be under warranty

[tranquil pebble]

I bet shareholders just loved him

[worthy meteor]

That's just what the warranty covers, can do a lot more or less

[misty sparrow]

and immediately dipped to go work at Jynga

[frigid stag]

Tbh the windows phone could’ve worked if they didn’t drop it

[misty sparrow]

i think that's the company name

[wise wigeon]

It’s really just what runs out first, time warranty or TBW

[worthy meteor]

the nand flash cells themselves are usually rated by program/erase cycles

usually around 1000-3000 for tlc/qlc

a lot higher for slc

[idle nexus]

a WD Purple microSD card has an expected life span of 256TBW at 256gb; 128TBW at 128gb; 64TBW at 64gb; &--you may have guessed by the pattern emerging here--32TBW at 32gb

[hoary zodiac]

Is SLC even worth it these days

[frigid stag]

Idek if u can find it

[idle nexus]

I have no idea where WD purple sits on the heirarchy of microSD cards ngl

[wise wigeon]

That’s like not bad at all

[tranquil pebble]

only as cache lol

[idle nexus]

yes but nowhere near the endurance of an M.2

not to mention read/write of 100MB/s/60MB/s

[frigid stag]

Optane endurance is peak

[wise wigeon]

Uh it’s better than a 970 evo lol

[tranquil pebble]

RAM endurance is peak

[idle nexus]

lol cuz volitile or whatever? I dunno

[wise wigeon]

It at least seems to scale liniearly with the sad cards

Sd*

[tranquil pebble]

sad works too

[wise wigeon]

Or at least that’s what they guarantee

[idle nexus]

970 EVO has worse read/write than 100/60? heck

[frigid stag]

Wait what

[idle nexus]

I thought like 4000ish was typical

[idle nexus]

did I misunderstand what you meant there? lol

[frigid stag]

Yeah they should be like 3 to 4k

[wise wigeon]

No in terms of endurance lol

[tranquil pebble]

~~it can if you put windows 11 on it ~~

[frigid stag]

970 pro endurance 🗿

Gigachad ssd

[idle nexus]

I put Windows on my Acer Predator 2tb this time

[wise wigeon]

I mean it hasn’t improved much either 990 pro

[idle nexus]

before I had it on SN850 1tb

[wise wigeon]

That’s 600tbw on the 1tb model

[idle nexus]

& before that on P41 platinum

[frigid stag]

Speeds are faster though so I guess there’s that

[idle nexus]

I install windows a lot ig

[wise wigeon]

Something like 7500 now

Which is like way more than any average person will reasonably use

[idle nexus]

I don't remember mine

it's gen 4 but runs almost as hot as gen 5 lol

[wise wigeon]

I mean I don’t have a 990 pro I was just looking at the numbers

Current pc is a mp34

Cheapest dram ssd at the time

[idle nexus]

kinda spicy no?

[wise wigeon]

How long have you had it

[frigid stag]

Do you have a heatsink on it

[idle nexus]

the motherboard one

I got it on 6/11/2024

[frigid stag]

Mobo one should be fine but that’s a bit toasty

[wise wigeon]

And it’s only done like 5 tbw

[frigid stag]

Ig it depends on the board or maybe the pads dried up

[worthy meteor]

just have to figure out where the temperature sensors are lol

[idle nexus]

it's definitely the hottest

but it is the OS drive so I dunno

heckin RAM almost hit 50C

on water lol

[frigid stag]

Water cooled ram?

Damn that’s fancy

[fresh timber]

YE

SCHOOL CANCLED

WHOOO

[idle nexus]

heck these are pretty bad temps for CPU only hitting 92.7w

tbh it's probably because of SOC voltage to force 1:1 6200c28 on 2x32gb sticks

it says it hit 96.7C but highest core temp is 87.9C so that kinda makes sense I think

[fresh timber]

7900x3d

ew

[idle nexus]

lol got it for very cheap

[fresh timber]

o goodie, how much

no such thing as a bad cpu, just a bad price

[tranquil pebble]

I have a 9800x3d coming around the 10th

[fresh timber]

i forget i have my rad intalled on the top of my case so i be putting stuff ontop of my pc and it gets very hot

[tranquil pebble]

idk, Raptor Lake had some bad CPUs

[fresh timber]

??

[idle nexus]

eh...is "CPU VDDCR_SOC Voltage" actually my SOC voltage?

[fresh timber]

at the right price their good

🙂

like $10

[tranquil pebble]

A CPU that kills itself is a bad CPU no matter what the price is

[idle nexus]

not sure exact amount ngl

[fresh timber]

new microcode go brrrt

[frigid stag]

Tbf the raptor lake situation is kinda of an iq test

[tranquil pebble]

The latest i3 vs the earliest i9... and well... the i9 is gonna lose in gaming

[coral forge]

All 13th gen skus below the 13600k are still alder lake silicon not rpl

Just fyi

[idle nexus]

my i3 could beat some old i9s

not sure how stable it would be but still

[fresh timber]

my opinion is, if u built ur own pc u should be able to fix problmes activly

google counts as a way to fix problems

[idle nexus]

my i3 can do 5.5ghz with memory at 7200c32

but it still sucks relativley

motherboard with clock gen

[fresh timber]

[idle nexus]

look at my BCLK

it's at 128mhz

[gleaming sedge]

How good are recert hard drives?

[fresh timber]

if u cant do something as simple as a bios update, get a prebuilt so its their problem

[fresh timber]

good if u ge the right ones

[idle nexus]

oh there's that website

that Level1 tech plugs

look at me acting like I hate ads then saying this

dammit the ads worked

[fresh timber]

that server is full of horrible advice

[gleaming sedge]

Found some barracuda 8tb drives

[fresh timber]

do not get those

barracuda = loosing data

[frigid stag]

Tho there’s adults there too who don’t know anything

[idle nexus]

lol go to the Microsoft discord & see endless people with boot loops & no ISO to reinstall & didn't backup their files

[gleaming sedge]

K guess I'll spend the 400 dollars on one

[fresh timber]

i watched them recommend an arc card to somebody with a cpu too old and dosent have rebar

[fresh timber]

their so strict im scared breathing wrong will get me banned microsoft server

[tranquil pebble]

cursed CPU

[fresh timber]

real

[idle nexus]

I go in there with a question; don't get an answer; & end up helping like 4-5 people lol

[fresh timber]

theirs no point introubleshooting windows problems

just reinstall it

[tranquil pebble]

Same and I got unbanned within like a day in all cases

[idle nexus]

true but when your precious files are at stake lol

[fresh timber]

the microsoft server rules re so bad that even having lstc on ur system, it showing in a screenshot but not being the main point gets u warned

[fresh timber]

ur fault for trusting windows with ur files

[idle nexus]

I know

it's why I suffer through OneDrive

[fresh timber]

321 backup

[tranquil pebble]

have Linux in the screenshot

[idle nexus]

go on microsoft server & spam links to massgravel on github

[frigid stag]

I think it was cause I was arguing with someone cause I said streaming is easier than working a 50 to 60 hour week

[idle nexus]

I wonder if you get banned in less than like 3 minutes

[fresh timber]

i:kek

[idle nexus]

then again, doesn't microsoft own github?

[tranquil pebble]

most likely get banned by bot

[fresh timber]

i think i used masgravel to activte

my pc thinks its activted even from like 6 reinstalls sense i ran the oringal script

i dont complain

def paid $200 for this

frfr

mines worked kek

i think its when u swap motherboards u haev issues

[idle nexus]

lol eh let's move on since speaking of buccaneers outside historical, halloween, or gaspirilla in Tamps is frowned upon

it's linked to motherboard

[fresh timber]

i almst spent $60 on a 1tb wd drive at walmart

[idle nexus]

but if you change motherboards, it might get mad

[fresh timber]

i told my self, 2tb is enough for ur pc stop being greedy

[rancid juniper]

ok now done, changed trefi to higher values

[idle nexus]

then you click I recently changed hardware option

[rancid juniper]

very satisfied with ram oc now

[idle nexus]

do you have more than 1 PCIe port?

[fresh timber]

im using 3/4 nvme slots and i only have 2tb of storage.. dont ask why

[rancid juniper]

wHyY!?

[fresh timber]

i got two 512gb nvmes for free

[idle nexus]

I bought this. It works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MV6HYS7?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/joker-good-for-you-bro-heath-ledger-clapping-applause-gif-9702899

[idle nexus]

you'd have to check if it would reduce your GPU from x16 tho

[fresh timber]

is their a pcie card that takes 4 pcie lanes and lets you put like 4 nvmes on it

even if the nvmes run at like 1x per it sstill better than nothing

[idle nexus]

I should use that again

it's so convenient on bench setups fr

what board? I'll see if I can figure it out for you lol

[fresh timber]

i wonder if this would work with only a 4x slot

[lone mango]

1800 points in r23

[idle nexus]

lol let me show you the cursed CPU I have

[rancid juniper]

don't your motherboard need bifurification for it to work?

[fresh timber]

mines supports it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rancid juniper]

ok good

[idle nexus]

https://hwbot.org/submission/4951959

iirc hwinfo should tell you

or sysinfo

[lone mango]

l16g7 has 5 cores

1 sunny cove and 4 tremont

[idle nexus]

win key+R

then write msinfo32

[fresh timber]

wtf

[idle nexus]

& press enter

[fresh timber]

doesnt work

i cant type

dont ask why i wanted to do it too

[fresh timber]

its win+R

not win+x

[idle nexus]

lol I changed it my bad

[fresh timber]

rate mines

[idle nexus]

win+shift+S plz

lol

[fresh timber]

i used that i just used it to screenshot the entire window

[frigid stag]

Ah I’ll try that then thanks

[idle nexus]

msinfo32 tells you

[fresh timber]

ggood is coolest mod

jk

competiting between ghost, good and jp

[idle nexus]

heck did this thing reenable hypervisor enforced code integrity again

I don't remember why I disabled that but I remember I did gosh darn it

lol thanks btw

oh wait it only matters for benchmate or something

otherwise it like thinks you're in a VM or some nonsense

[frigid stag]

Wait they even make these ssd’s 😂

[idle nexus]

[frigid stag]

What even is this

[nocturne flicker]

It's the best of both worlds

[idle nexus]

lmfaoooo

[dusk knot]

Hahaha

[frigid stag]

Idk why the anime one is in the “unusual”. It’s pretty usual for Linux users

[dusk knot]

Wh

[idle nexus]

nvm let me not throw stones

I'm just jealous cuz I suck at Linux

[dusk knot]

No...just no

[frigid stag]

Is it hen- or something💀

[dusk knot]

No

[frigid stag]

Oh ok good

[dusk knot]

That's not it

😐

[pliant berry]

[frigid stag]

But it’s not the only Linux user type. The other one is the guy that wants to hack the CIA

[misty sparrow]

i want this one

but if it was updated

[nocturne flicker]

Amogos

[misty sparrow]

i don't even know what main distro it's based off so

[tranquil pebble]

gonna have to make a fumo theme at some point... FumOS

[fresh timber]

chat

i jsut had an amazing idea

what if microsoft sold nvmes with windows alr isntalled

and sold them at a good price..

[misty sparrow]

they would sell them for a lot more than just a normal Windows key

not at all a good price

[fresh timber]

grrrr

[pliant berry]

yeah that's very niche

[fresh timber]

lol

[misty sparrow]

i have an even better idea

honestly just make a Series S coaster

[idle nexus]

please don't say pineapple on pizza

[misty sparrow]

a coaster shaped like a Series S

[fresh timber]

I like the series s

[misty sparrow]

pineapple on pizza is only hated because the internet incites peer pressure

[fresh timber]

if the ps5 had a series s formfactor id like it more

[idle nexus]

I dunno I think the cool, refreshing, sweet taste of pineapple is inconsistent with the other things on the pizza

nvm

[fresh timber]

sidenote

i think the series s is a great console if u want somthing cheap, can play some video games and looks nice in ur living room

great for media too, put ur netflix youtube, what ever on and ur happy

[nocturne flicker]

I don't like pineapple. So putting it on pizza ruins something good

[fresh timber]

i like pineapple

just

not on pizza

[misty sparrow]

and devs say "Series S holds back games" lmao

no

it's bad optimization

[velvet summit]

i hate pineapple because it betrayed me

the enzymes make my mouth hurt after eating too much of it

[nocturne flicker]

I don't like the flavor or texture

[velvet summit]

yes, canned pineapple is cooked so the enzymes are deactivated

but it's just not the same

[fresh timber]

aint the consumers problem tbh

[velvet summit]

fresh pineapples are just far superior

[fresh timber]

thats more of a microsoft issue

[nocturne flicker]

Also the least ergonomic fruit

[fresh timber]

whats yal lfav fruit

[nocturne flicker]

I like bananas and specific types of apples

[fresh timber]

nice

im a grape guy

[misty sparrow]

why would you trust a very spiky fruit

[velvet summit]

dragon fruit

[misty sparrow]

honestly i wouldn't trust that either

[velvet summit]

durian

[nocturne flicker]

Durian

[velvet summit]

lychee

actually

arent chestnuts also technically a spiky fruit

[fresh timber]

when get girlfriend

[misty sparrow]

"I'd rather have a goldfish than get a girlfriend" -me, a few hours ago

[velvet summit]

chestnuts look kinda freaky

like... hairy...

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, tbf if I saw a big ball of aggressive fuzz I wouldn't trust anything coming out of it

[fresh timber]

What about boyfriend

[misty sparrow]

"Hairy? Hm, the thing that can fix that is this segue, to our sponsor-"

[nocturne flicker]

If I were put in nature the farthest I'd go is a kiwi

[velvet summit]

I feel like though

If a fruit has spikes

It probably means it's safe to eat? Because it's using spikes as a defense

Rather than like it being toxic

[wispy knot]

Spikes and bright colors

Those are things that nature uses as defense instead of toxins

[velvet summit]

What is this implying

[fresh timber]

Used work station better

For 99.9% of home users

I’m trying to get a few optiplexes, slap 32gb ram in them and make them a cluster

One day

Give me 2 years to do that

[nocturne flicker]

or any x3d cpus

[mortal grail]

You wanna look at mine

[tranquil pebble]

Everything above 60 class will be exclusively for scalpers and rich folks eventually.

[misty sparrow]

i wonder what they are going to do with the gpus

[nocturne flicker]

RTX 7070, MSRP $2,500

They'll put them in store built systems

[gleaming sedge]

Mines been a dell mini with i5 5th gen and 16gb ram

[hoary zodiac]

Low end does not exist at that point

Not even the mid range

"want to get into pc gaming? starting at $1k!!! For just the gpu!!"

Also game still run like crap

[sage sluice]

Im waiting for apple tactics with vram
"Want a 6070? Cool, your options are 6gbs vram for $500, 8 gigabytes vram for $750, and 12 gigabytes for a value of $1,100!!!!!!

[misty sparrow]

the cable is $100

[dusk knot]

Should I buy this? 👀

[misty sparrow]

i remember this case being sold on best buy drops in december

the day after i tried getting the 30th anniversary ps5 controller

dont remember the price being $300 for just case

[hoary zodiac]

Scam case

It would be good if it didn't cost more than an O11D

[fresh timber]

yes

i wonder if i can get a good deal on 64gb ram at the center

[unreal trail]

💀

[fresh timber]

to be fair

how much did the game cost them to make

[hoary zodiac]

Inflation

💀

The games industry is like McDonalds

[misty sparrow]

they can probably make a bunch of it back from gta6 online

but anyway i hope this doesn't happen

[hoary zodiac]

the price keep going up and the quality keeps going down

[misty sparrow]

because sports games will default at the highest price

[nocturne flicker]

No reason for a price increase, the actual cost to sell games has gone down due to online stores

[misty sparrow]

imagine if GTA6 is priced at $100 and that makes FC 2026 priced at $100 too

a sports game

[hoary zodiac]

it is 100% greed

[unreal trail]

game industry is slowly losing me

[fresh timber]

server on the corner ooo ooo ooo

[nocturne flicker]

Guys we are going to release a digital only game. We also are going to raise the initial price to $150 to make up for inflation 🙃

[fresh timber]

im stilll buying gta 6

i got a ps5 just for it

[weak cedar]

Isn't it easier to make games now 🤔 vs 2010

[nocturne flicker]

The only inflation going on is the inflation of their profit margins

[hoary zodiac]

Easier to make slop

[fresh timber]

serve on the conrner ooooreooo

[hoary zodiac]

studios get away with released broken and crappy games

[rancid juniper]

still hard to make "good games"
easier to make garbage

[nocturne flicker]

And the garbage still sells fabulously

[rancid juniper]

unfortunately

[hoary zodiac]

yeah because stupid people keeps buying them

[fresh timber]

roblox has hella good game on it

[rancid juniper]

if the cityscape looked this good in GTA 5 imagine what GTA 6 may bring

[weak cedar]

I mean the items like buildings and map but you still have the story and physics

[nocturne flicker]

Hold up need to spend 8 hours lined up for the next CoD game, CoD Advanced Modern Battle of War

2

[fresh timber]

just get gamepass

[misty sparrow]

I mean it looks good but you can definitely see the age

[hoary zodiac]

I don't trust rockstar tbh

[misty sparrow]

is this the PC port or?

[rancid juniper]

for sure

[hoary zodiac]

with how they've decided to milk GTA Online

[fresh timber]

just get a moddeed acc

i got one

it dope

[hoary zodiac]

Although

[misty sparrow]

GTA5 was made for PS3/Xbox 360 so imagine GTA6

[rancid juniper]

big money maker def gonna do it again

[rancid juniper]

pc

[hoary zodiac]

It's good that rockstar is not leaking too much information with GTA 6

[misty sparrow]

pc port has terrible antialiasing problems so

[hoary zodiac]

hopefully the devs get more headroom to develop the game

[onyx merlin]

how you all doing ?

[velvet summit]

$300 for that? hell nah

[rancid juniper]

i wonder if GTA 5 will bring that RT update to pc

its been a while

[nocturne flicker]

RT DLC $20

[hoary zodiac]

Hyte has one good case... and it's overpriced

[nocturne flicker]

To make up for inflation

[hoary zodiac]

the rest of their cases are practically NZXT level crap

[misty sparrow]

the ray tracing is subpar anyway you're not missing out on much

[rancid juniper]

alr

[misty sparrow]

just some reflections on buildings that's it

they couldn't even place ray tracing on side mirrors/inside car mirrors for attention to detail

[hoary zodiac]

not surprised

the engine is ancient

[velvet summit]

for $300 you can get the case AND a wall tapestry no way

https://tenor.com/view/dokibird-huh-rejected-live-gif-3859302371757875364

[nocturne flicker]

The only reflection we need is for them to reflect and think about the morality of their business practices

[hoary zodiac]

for $300 you can get a better case

[onyx merlin]

That case looks like it will melt

[misty sparrow]

for $300 I can get several twelve packs of mug and a new monitor

[onyx merlin]

under pressure

[hoary zodiac]

ironically the Y70 is the only one with good thermals

[misty sparrow]

mug root beer > case

[hoary zodiac]

the rest of their cases are hotboxes

or just bad in general

[nocturne flicker]

They made iceburg ships, what about iceburg PC case

[onyx merlin]

Iphones are better in general then Androids for most part.

Change my mind lolz

[velvet summit]

damn that's crazy

though the mori one includes braided cable extensions

[hoary zodiac]

the Y40 is literally an NZXT case

the thermals are abysmal

[velvet summit]

(you wont even be able to see it through the art)

[hoary zodiac]

and overpriced

[nocturne flicker]

The bigger the boba the more expensive the case

[hoary zodiac]

at least NZXT has less shame

[misty sparrow]

to be fair weebs will buy it

[hoary zodiac]

in pricing these cases

you can get a Monteh XR and custom print stickers

[misty sparrow]

it's their own damn fault if they buy it

tbh

[hoary zodiac]

and it'll cost only a quarter

[velvet summit]

well, for these specifically, it would be some hololive fans would

[misty sparrow]

whats hololive

[nocturne flicker]

Why even have a glass panel if you are going to plaster that trash on it

[misty sparrow]

is that bad that i don't know

[velvet summit]

[hoary zodiac]

holo what?

[misty sparrow]

-# dont know what a vtuber is either

[hoary zodiac]

vtuber

aren't they the uhh

[rancid juniper]

vtubers lowkey profitable

[velvet summit]

kinda?

[hoary zodiac]

seriously there are femboys who make more money than certain female streamers on twitch

[velvet summit]

model costs are very high

you can buy a new car for some vtuber models

[rancid juniper]

._.

[misty sparrow]

"Hey, Vsauce michael here! Your home security is great."

[velvet summit]

call it a coincidence but that is precisely what a liar would say

[hoary zodiac]

core ultra is a terrible investment even for a marketing expense

They discontinued the Celeron but made the N100 and everybody loves it

[nocturne flicker]

They were fine in low end laptops like chromebooks
