Pc gaming is done. Return to board games

[mortal grail]

JP you need a vacation

Lol

Go fly to tahiti for a week

[dusk knot]

Brazil

[mortal grail]

No I don't wish death upon you

Tahiti is fine

[dusk knot]

Too late

[mortal grail]

Ah welp

Good luck

[sage sluice]

Whats the fps cap on cs2?

[dusk knot]

Bought a ticket last night lol

[mortal grail]

Whatever you do, don't get in unmarked taxis dude

LMFAO

Pink taxis also sus

[dusk knot]

Don’t worry. I have many contacts down there

They know what I should avoid

If I die. I die

[mortal grail]

Here lies JP

He's in a better place now

With all the frame gen he ever wanted

[dusk knot]

[dusk knot]

A real shame I can’t really bring my camera

I wouldn’t want to get robbed

One of my friends down there told me soo. Rip photography channel

[icy ore]

5080 kinda disappointing

[mortal grail]

4080 Ti*

[proud jackal]

DISREGARD GD, AQUIRE 5090

[fresh timber]

If you can get it at Msrp

[proud jackal]

Gf*

[fresh timber]

Go find a girlfriend in Taiwan

[proud jackal]

Not sure

[dusk knot]

NO MORE, THEO. NO MORE

My pc isn’t enough 😆

[dusk knot]

Imagine

[fresh timber]

in taiwan the girls come to you

[dusk knot]

Also the tickets would be insane

[dusk knot]

Sounds sketchy

[fresh timber]

ur on the right track

[lone mango]

5080

The 4080 super duper

Its what the 4080 super should have been

[fresh timber]

lord give me a 7900xt or 4080

[devout forum]

Unironically I hope that even what little 5080 stock exists remains unsold

The 5080 is an insult at the price it is

[fresh timber]

its the same msrp as the xtx, and 4080 s

less msrp than the 4080

[mortal grail]

It's all gonna sell out

[misty sparrow]

Finally we’re on the same idea

[lone mango]

They finally released the 4080ti

[fresh timber]

frfr

if they didnt hype it up and just stright up said its a 40 series refresh we wouldnt be mad

and good prices

[devout forum]

And there are no words to describe my sadness about that fact

[fresh timber]

5090

i cant wait to see how fast people make the vram on it too little

an ai model prob

[dusk knot]

Noooooooo

[lone mango]

Not that deep

Just dont buy it

You probably dont need to upgrade

I get urges to buy new stuff but I dont give in

Because at the end of the day, its not needed

[lone mango]

Itll make any gpu suffer

The h800 has 80g of hbm3

[fresh timber]

I need new gpu

240hz

[lone mango]

Well the full one has that much

The cut down pcie one has 80g of hbm2e

2tb/s bandwidth while the sxm has 3.5 tb/s

[devout forum]

I'll just get a used 4080

And prosper

[lone mango]

I wonder what xtx is going for rn

I remember seeing heavy discounts months ago

[devout forum]

XTX is bad for me cuz blasting power

4080/4080S has the power efficiency and RT

[devout forum]

Though yes the XTX is technically cheaper

But not by a whole lot

[dusk knot]

5090 is the 4090ti

[devout forum]

50 bucks difference doesn't feel quite worth it for the power usage and RT difference

[lone mango]

Its not that bad its like 35w more

[devout forum]

Uh

XTX regularly goes to like 400

IIRC

It spikes lime crazy

[lone mango]

Bro my micro center doesn’t have any 4080s in stock

People done snatched those up

[fresh timber]

thats what im looking at

[chrome portal]

Is this a relevant switch?

[devout forum]

I'll have to grab used too

But that's fine

I can actually afford a used 4080

Used 4090 starts at like 175% of the 4080s

But like

You can get the cheapest used 4090 for roughly MSRP

[fresh timber]

yeah i dont wanna suffer in the summer *i dont excatly have the right cooling in my home to even handel my current pc

[devout forum]

Yeah I have no AC either

And my room is both tiny as well as facing east

[fresh timber]

we have a ac.. its just in the living room

😭

[lone mango]

Brutal

[devout forum]

So both for power and heat concerns I have to be strategic

[fresh timber]

one summer my my mom complained that my GAMING laptop was making the ac kick on too long making her room cold

[lone mango]

True

[devout forum]

160 on a 9800X3D and 280-320 on a 4080 is right in that threshold that MIGHT still be bearable

[fresh timber]

my options are looking, used 7900xt, 4080, or 5070ti kek~4

[devout forum]

Another 90 watts or so of heat might still be okay-ish

Though

[fresh timber]

ima just get a fan to exhast the hot air in my room to somewhere els, maybe out my window?

[devout forum]

More like 140 with the CPU power bump

[fresh timber]

you think that would work

hot air from room, going to hot air outside

[devout forum]

Might
But it'd have to be a big fan

[fresh timber]

a window fan

[devout forum]

I'm actually gonna solve my heat issues different

[devout forum]

By upgrading my

Keyboard

[fresh timber]

wow

[devout forum]

Because you see
My current keyboard is loud as heck
So my stepdad gets mega annoyed and complain

So he always just arbitrarily shuts my door on me

[fresh timber]

ima try the window fan first, if that doesnt work ima grab a fan and exhast the air out my room to the living room kek~4 .. now my room gets warm

[devout forum]

Trapping the hot air inside

[fresh timber]

real

i wish my asppartment had atleast air circulation man

[devout forum]

So if I build a quiet keyboard

I can keep my door open and let slightly cooler air into my room as well as the hot air out to the rest of the house

K10 Pro with reds might do the trick

Or failing that K Pro Silent Browns

[fresh timber]

they closed my door alot last summer

[devout forum]

I'm going to start complaining if he keeps shutting my door

Anyhow

That's my solution

[fresh timber]

i should have a bacbook pro by then

if i get too hot ill just go on mac

[devout forum]

Get the keyboard to be quiet and open my door to let air move

Might help a little

[craggy shoal]

I got a Mac Mini for that purpose. Super low powered compared to my desktop

[devout forum]

But it does get fairly stuffy for me when things are happening

[fresh timber]

i wanna do a dual pc setup where i get a thunderbolt dock for the mac, but i dont wanna deal with the wireing

[devout forum]

I'm just gonna keep it simple

[craggy shoal]

Worth it for a cool room

[fresh timber]

having my pc asharing keyboard and mouse, and monitors while keeping my monitors full capabilitys.. too hard

[craggy shoal]

I have like three computers at my desk lol

[devout forum]

Desktop for home
2in1 laptop with eGPU for work

[fresh timber]

i need to do 1440p 240hz on one display, 1080p 165hz another

and they only work with displayport at full speed

[devout forum]

Chuck my keeb, mouse and a controller in my bag and take them with me

[devout forum]

That's honestly a big thing with the K10

Can work BT, 2.4ghz and wired

[proud jackal]

4090 for ultimate ray tracing

4k60

[devout forum]

So I can just disconnect the cord and use it BT while at work

Or just not at all and mess around with a controller

[dusk knot]

Smh

[dusk knot]

What about 3080ti

[craggy shoal]

that's actually not too bad compared to other games wtf

[dusk knot]

Less than 60 at 1440p on medium ….bummer

[craggy shoal]

my gf's old PC could run that

[fresh timber]

Just play on ps5

[mortal grail]

Bro got the grease filter

[dusk knot]

Theo only plays on the best hardware

[fresh timber]

[proud jackal]

I need to sell my ps5

[fresh timber]

ima play spiderman on my pc

ima really try to run raytracing 60fps

I can't tell if JP is talking about a GF or 50 series rn

☠️

[fresh timber]

lol

[dusk knot]

Gf lmao

[mortal grail]

Hahahah

[craggy shoal]

get a gf

[misty sparrow]

Only time I was heartbroken was when I played The Last of Us 2

[fresh timber]

omg i got a funny idea

[dusk knot]

Oh god . Lmao

[fresh timber]

what if i turn this s9 into a glorfied chromecast

an android tv

[misty sparrow]

Did you mean heartbroken in terms of relationships?

[dusk knot]

Yes

[misty sparrow]

Oh, no

Never been in one never plan to

[dusk knot]

Alrighty then

It’s not for everyone

[proud jackal]

Also

[dusk knot]

Whatever makes you happy

Ff7 rebirth is so beautiful on pc

[dusk knot]

On OLED

if i can get 4k 60 out the s9 id make it a tv box..

i think it can too.. ooo ideas

I dont know whats worse the fact that was a thing or the fact it was a thing

[dusk knot]

I thought it was great lol

[lone mango]

I lowkey might get a 5700x3d in the future

There is this 5800x3d bidding for $100 because of bent pins

I actually think I can fix it

Bro what did this man burn a hole into it

Whats up with that bottom corner

Oh dang a pin is supposed to be there that black spot is

yeah my ass is not fixing that

Wait that missing pin is a single ground pin

I think it wont matter

[unreal trail]

what did he do, comb his hair with the cpu

[sinful blade]

I wouldn’t risk

[lone mango]

Rest of the pins arent bent that badly though

[lone mango]

fr

[lone mango]

You have to rotate this 180

From this view its that bottom right middle vss

Plus I have straightened pins before. when I was building my first computer, i remember my dad screwing in the stock cooler where he screwed in one corner completely and 3 pins on the corner were bent

[idle nexus]

netflix keeps getting blocked... heck

I'll just let it figure itself out on its own then lol

generic waterblock & a few old Pokemon cards to remove the heatspreaders are probably cheaper lol

C*****r makes one. I have it (don't like to admit it tho)

[rancid juniper]

I think this is like one of 3-4 Cor***r things I own https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cmdaf2/dominator-airflow-platinum-rgb-fan-cmdaf2

there used to be a cheap PC Case that looked like that ram cooler

it had a model number that was like the same as a Mercedes Benz

My poor 3080ti

[rancid juniper]

😔

[lone mango]

I think it can do it

[dusk knot]

My poor baby 😭

I hope it can run high at least

Not ultra

[lone mango]

Ultra vs high is indistinguishable

Waste of resources

[rough zinc]

I'll probably just design my own ngl

[dusk knot]

Also when they say 60fps, the game will run higher with those requirements

[lone mango]

Unless ultra textures then maybe

[rancid juniper]

what a goofy guy, if bro have seen what Batman does he would've been livid

[lone mango]

But even still

[rancid juniper]

thats like every other hero

[idle nexus]

just get like two 35mm fans & some zip ties

maybe an L bracket or something

[rancid juniper]

i mean system requirements sometimes are underestimated

[fair onyx]

😍

[dusk knot]

Underestimated

But yeah

[fair onyx]

It has arriveedddd

[rancid juniper]

oh myb

[dusk knot]

5090?

[fair onyx]

3060ti 16GB lol

[dusk knot]

😔

[fair onyx]

I wouldn't own a 5090. Not now at least

[dusk knot]

16gb... holdup

[fair onyx]

they are not worth it

[fair onyx]

Its modded

[dusk knot]

Oh wow. From who?

[fair onyx]

A friend of mine. he runs a business doing it

He does all sorts of VRAM mods

[dusk knot]

Wow

[fair onyx]

and they are a great price too

[dusk knot]

Maybe he can mod my 3080ti

To 20gb

Hahahha

[fair onyx]

I got an EVGA FTW3 refurbished with upgraded cooling, and 16GB of faster Samsung GDDR6 over the 8GB Micron GDDR6, all shiped and taxed for $309

I sold my 3060ti FE for $240, sooo lol

[pliant berry]

I feel like this is where unified memory can come handy

theoretically

[idle nexus]

you must be really good at soldering

[fair onyx]

it can on some systems, yeah

[fair onyx]

Not me, but he is haha

After he did the re-soldering

[dusk knot]

Very clean work

[wispy knot]

24 should be doable just by swapping to 2Gb dies

[fair onyx]

Hes very good at what he does. I know 4 people with 9 of his GPU's, and they all work great

[fair onyx]

20, not 24

oh wait, is the 3080ti 12GB?

[dusk knot]

Yes

[wispy knot]

Yes

[rancid juniper]

Yes

[fair onyx]

Ok yeah, then 24

[dusk knot]

Yes

[rancid juniper]

you said Yes twice, invalid

[dusk knot]

Aw

[fair onyx]

Though he told me he has not modded higher than a 3070, cause on the off chance something is damaged, thats a big loss

He has never had a card fail to this day, but if he does, it would be a big loss for him

[idle nexus]

okay I need quotes for: (1) EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080ti; (2) EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3070; & heck... umm can an (3) EVGA SC2 2080ti jump from 12gb to 24gb? lol

[fair onyx]

His most popular is actually 22GB 2080ti's

[wispy knot]

3080 ti is what, $450 right now? Not that bad

[rancid juniper]

hotswappable vram mod

[fair onyx]

I can get you in contact with him, though his work is pretty slow, cause he usually buys bad cards, fixes them, and then sells them. He can upgrade cards sent to him tho

for the 3060ti it was gonna be $100 plus shipping

He can obviously only mod cards with 1GB chips

[fresh timber]

\

wot

wot

[rancid juniper]

discord client tearing apart

[wispy knot]

48GB 3090???

[fair onyx]

Not possible

the 3090 already has 2GB chips

[wispy knot]

That's the ti

[fair onyx]

what?

[wispy knot]

The regular 3090 uses both sides of the PCB

[idle nexus]

dude this must be so hard to do

like damn

[wispy knot]

The ti uses one side and higher density mem

It was a major change really, it meant no more need for an active backplate

[idle nexus]

3080ti with 24gb would be such an upgrade

[idle nexus]

will the stonk vBIOS even know to take advantage of the increased memory??

[wispy knot]

I can't believe it happened so soon but I have maxed out my 12GB on multiple occasions at 1440p

[lone mango]

Nah you need a diff vbios

[lone mango]

Brutal

What games are taking up all of that

[wispy knot]

3090 with 48GB would be an AI workstation monster

[misty sparrow]

i wonder how bad it would be on cards like the 3060ti with 8gb vram

[idle nexus]

has someone made a vBIOS already?

[misty sparrow]

maybe if they had more they'd be better

[lone mango]

There probably is one yeah

[idle nexus]

@fair onyx just got exactly this lol

[misty sparrow]

i know

but they're using it for AI stuff

[idle nexus]

oh nvm sorry for ping

[wispy knot]

Modded Skyrim typically hits it pretty easily, black myth, a few other recent titles.

[idle nexus]

modded fallout 4 is VRAM monster lol

[wispy knot]

That too

Esp with large settlements

[idle nexus]

Sim Settlements Chapter 2: Part 3

I dunno what system can play that well ngl

oh that reminds meee

[lone mango]

Ah

Unoptimized games

[idle nexus]

I was in the middle of something then got interrupted

[lone mango]

True

unreal engine games

[idle nexus]

was about to try to get this working actually https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/502?tab=description

[lone mango]

Scam in gaming and gym

[wispy knot]

Yeah I got em

[fair onyx]

yessir

very few card models won't be able to handle more VRAM

SOME can't

[rough zinc]

It would be a workstation monster, CAD and rendering was so fast back when I was running dual 3090s

[fair onyx]

but then he just re-solders the old mem and sends it back

Also, this is the modded 3060ti running fur mark @misty sparrow

Does anybody know how to set preferred power modes for individual GPU's?

[wispy knot]

I only know of the global and per game setting

On nvidia at least

[fair onyx]

Damn

so this 3060ti needs to be in maximum power mode to work. He did at least tell me that

but the problem is, it seems when I set it to max power, it only does that on my main 3090, and not the 3060ti

[lone mango]

7900xt for $550 this sounds bussin

[idle nexus]

on Afterburner?

there's a thing to switch to the other card

heck I don't have it installed

[fair onyx]

Does that allow me to set it to prefer maximum power?

[idle nexus]

but the option to sync with other card probably won't work since the cards aren't the same

[fair onyx]

I need the 3090 to be set to normal power, and the 3060ti to max

[idle nexus]

that's in nvidia settings

oh uh

maybe nvidiaprofileinspector

[fair onyx]

hmmm

[rough zinc]

You should be able to in nvidia control panel shouldn't you?

[fair onyx]

It only lets me pick it globally, and then it only sets on my 3090 and not the 3060ti

[idle nexus]

I can't remember if you can do separate controls for both cards

if you really wanna run it hard, there's an option in nvidiaprofileinspector to disable force P2 state iirc

[fair onyx]

Oh, lets try that

Thank you, good sir

[idle nexus]

I dunno if this would affect it

[fair onyx]

always fun to see lol

[idle nexus]

lol that's badass ngl

[fair onyx]

hey uhm... Do you have a link to profile inspector? I just downloaded one from a site and I think its a scam-

[idle nexus]

if you're using profileinspector, at the top you might be able to find the program you're using

[fair onyx]

the file is called 'rewards'

[idle nexus]

profile inspector is kinda weird these days I dunno why

[fair onyx]

OH

my bad, this is something else 😅

[fair onyx]

oh, thanks

[idle nexus]

I'm pretty sure that's the latest one I have

might be newer

[fair onyx]

Apparently it downloaded something I tried many days ago lol

[idle nexus]

sometimes it's just called inspector & it looks like heckin GPU-Z for some reason

[fair onyx]

ok, lets see if we can get this working

[idle nexus]

what program are you using it for?

[fair onyx]

Sorry?

[idle nexus]

I was gonna scroll thru the profiles to see if there was a dedicated thing for whatever program you were gonna use

but iirc you use it for AI models so probably not lol

[fair onyx]

oh yeah, no

hmmm, I am in now

but it also seems to not have different settings for each GPU

[idle nexus]

what do you use to set overclocks?

[fair onyx]

Afterburner

[idle nexus]

heck let me install it right quick lol

I use Galaxy's derpy version

with the default skin you click that white arrow to select GPU

[fair onyx]

Oh yeah, that much I know, but this doesn't let me set my GPU to prefer maximum power. Thats what I really need to be able to do

[idle nexus]

might need to do that too if you haven't

[fair onyx]

Ok, just did that

I am trying to get info on why prefer max power is needed

[idle nexus]

ohhh heck so it doesn't give you options for each GPU here?

[fair onyx]

it does not 😭

[idle nexus]

extra juice to drive the denser memory? lol

[fair onyx]

Ah, maybe, yeah

I could try underclocking the mem and see if that will work for just now

ok, did a -500mhz VRAM clock, and lowered the core clock as well

Hopefully I don't blue screen lol

if I do, not the end of the world

I am a very resilient person lol

[idle nexus]

is your display connected to it or the 3090?

[fair onyx]

Okay, it blue screened again

The guy who did the mod said at some form of timing issue or something

It loaded everything into VRAM, and then after about 5 seconds, my entire computer stopped responding

[idle nexus]

this is probably not useful but lol

[idle nexus]

ah crap that can be rough

& I have no idea how to set timings on a 30 series

I tried on an ancient HD7970 with this BIOS editing tool & had to use a separate card to unbrick it lol

which card is it btw

I wonder if there's a tool that lets you control voltage

aside from the physical difficulty of swapping the ICs, getting BIOS to actually take advantage of them is probably just about as difficult

[fair onyx]

Its the EVGA FTW3 3060ti

Okay, so he had me disable the 3090, plug a monitor into the 3060 TI and check if it's doing the power thing correctly. And it is

So it seems that the matter is because the 3060 TI has absolutely nothing loaded into its memory because it's not being used for displaying things, it's not actually preferring maximum performance, it's all the way down at the lowest idle clocks, and when it clocks up, it desyncs things and then because of the low power it's not able to provide the VRAM with adequate power

So he suggested that I just get a dummy dongle for it, so I'll end up doing that

[idle nexus]

ah I see

did you disable that P2 State?

I think that prevents it from like powering down lol

[idle nexus]

this I mean

[wise wigeon]

man 5080 uplift is meh, but unfortunately its still the best card at that range in terms of msrp

if i was almost willing to pay 900+ in december for a 7900xtx then the 1k for the 5080 isnt far fetched

[sweet phoenix]

$830 xtx :p

[wise wigeon]

I wish it was better but for that price

[fair onyx]

I did, but the problem is is that that doesn't seem to work if no display is plugged into it. So it idles all the way down because nothing is in the memory

On paper he said that I could get a dummy dongle, so I think I'm going to do that. But the bigger problem out of everything is that I can't afford to have my 3090 set to max power, because that's just insane

The idle power draw on my 3090 went from 30 watts to 130 Watts

So I need to somehow find a way to set only the 3060TI to max performance, and then have the 3090 not set to max performance

[sweet phoenix]

https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-pulse-11322-02-20g-amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-24gb-gddr6/p/N82E16814202429

[wise wigeon]

like there is just multiple factors too, its still way less power and has all the nvidia goodies

oh a saphire one is 830

i thought it was the crappy blower

hmmm

[sweet phoenix]

We could have some good sales after 50/9000 series launch, no saying if this is the best we'll see or not

[wise wigeon]

yeah

[sweet phoenix]

Or if smthn else would be better value later. It's really a guessing game, but $830 xtx in current market is good value

[wise wigeon]

i'll make a pass it the 5080 but we'll see how the deals go

[idle nexus]

wow that's a heck of a jump

[wise wigeon]

its just i've used both fsr and dlss and its unfortunate dlss is so much better

and i dont have my hopes high that fsr4 comes down to 7000 series

[fair onyx]

Yeah, its gnarly

[idle nexus]

if you connect the display to the 3060ti, will the 3090 still stay at 130w?

[wise wigeon]

dlss4 is nuts

like seeing it on even 300 cards

3000*

[fair onyx]

No, if I just have it on the 3060ti, the 3090 also goes to low idle cause there is nothing loaded on it, but I can't run my system like this

[wise wigeon]

i was like pfft no way is it better than native but i mean in some cases it just does

[idle nexus]

what if you change windows power profile to ultimate performance?

[fair onyx]

I need my 3090 to use normal optimal power, and the 3060ti to use max power. Thats all I need

This feels like it SHOULD be possible

[idle nexus]

to keep the 3060ti from idling without a display I mean

not sure if windows would override the driver tho... heck

which 3060ti is it again?

[wise wigeon]

aw man nitro + is out of stock from non third party

if the nitro + was 830 probably would hopped on it

[fair onyx]

3060ti FTW3 Ultra

The 3060ti idling is much less of a problem than the 3090 using 130 at idle

[idle nexus]

you did this already right?

oh wait

force constant voltage too

[wise wigeon]

welp time to record myself opening my newegg box as a precaution

it was sitting out for like 2 hours before i got home

[idle nexus]

you could also try (after those options are enabled)

(after AB restarts)

[wise wigeon]

i miss evga

[idle nexus]

keep this at 100

heck you might even wanna mess with this thing

[idle nexus]

raise minimum voltage

the thing is, that's gonna affect voltage for the GPU but not sure if it'll do anything for the memory

since memory voltage is not the same

[fair onyx]

hmmm

[idle nexus]

some cards (HOF, Kingpin, Matrix) have voltage settings you can adjust otherwise you're at the mercy of the driver voltage

but that's one of the reasons those cards are so expensive

[wise wigeon]

ballsy mods

[idle nexus]

like I can set my memory voltage but that's not common

[idle nexus]

does it have dual VBIOS?

[idle nexus]

you're probably better off using EVGA Precision X1

oh what the heck am I saying of course you are

I forgot

[mortal grail]

@idle nexus ampere voltage setting in afterburner does nothing

[idle nexus]

boost lock the card so it stays in like P0 or P1 or whatever

[idle nexus]

even for the V/F curve?

[mortal grail]

It's probably different on HoF

[idle nexus]

ya I think that "extra voltage" just gets added on at 100%

[mortal grail]

But on afterburner nada

It works on ada/maxwell

[idle nexus]

you saw @fair onyx got a 3060ti modded to 16gb?

[mortal grail]

Yes

[idle nexus]

so heckin cool ngl lol

ah okay

you don't think EVGA X1 can keep voltage up so the card doesn't crash? lol

[mortal grail]

Voltage controls at least in my experience with every ampere sku, don't work on afterburner

[fair onyx]

Ok, so I am a little overwhelmed at the moment, but I was able to fanagle things in a way thats letting me at least use my AI to test it, and its not bad at all

[mortal grail]

No it's all perfcap power for ampere

That's why it does nothing

[fair onyx]

for being on a PCIE 1x gen 3, this is not bad at all

[idle nexus]

but X1 keeps the clocks up. I used to use it for benchmarking 3070/80ti

[fair onyx]

running the model on just my 3090 with low context gets me 4 streams at 24t/s, using 23 GB VRAM

Running it with big context gets me 19t/s on 4 streams with 23GB on the 3090 and 9 GB on the 3060ti. So barely even a slow down, but now I can run it with 6x the context

[idle nexus]

well wait, does the card crash at idle only?

[mortal grail]

Clock lock is different

It's not increased volt

[idle nexus]

won't that keep voltage higher? lol

[fair onyx]

The problem is the ramp up from idle to higher speeds he said. Its like it doesn't give enough power in the ramp

[idle nexus]

cuz at idle it drops down?

[mortal grail]

No

It'll pull what it needs but ampere is extremely power limited

Voltage is not an issue

[idle nexus]

2080ti was reallly power limited

but when I flashed the 1000w VBIOS for 3080ti HOF onto my FTW3, it barely increased performance

[mortal grail]

It'll boost and use the voltage it requires to hold the clock but not go over that

Yes

Cos you hit the top of the curve

[gentle canyon]

Does Ryzen 9000 X3D exist outside of the 9800x3d?? i dont remember hearing anything unless im just blind

[mortal grail]

Same thing happened on my 90

[mortal grail]

Yes

R9

[hoary zodiac]

9950X3D I think?

[gentle canyon]

when did that launch?

[idle nexus]

hasn't yet afik

[hoary zodiac]

It hasn't

[gentle canyon]

oh

[idle nexus]

I wish Nvidia had a policy

where like

when cards have been EoL long enough that there can't be any still under warranty

they just release a driver where you get voltage control unrestricted

[rough zinc]

Liability

Morons would download the driver, brick their card, and then complain about "Nvidia killing their card" nonstop

[idle nexus]

ya but if all warranties are expired why not?

[mortal grail]

There are (And you would know this given your career) multiple laws based around consumers in multiple countries where that would completely fly in their face when people start breaking cards

For example

[idle nexus]

lol I wonder if 3060 12gb vBIOS would be better

[mortal grail]

Here we have something called "Fit for purpose law"

[hoary zodiac]

https://youtu.be/nShh_j4s2YE?si=5Bxcy-Y9tusgTfxS

[mortal grail]

And it extends to protect goods like a warranty does, but it extends way beyond a warranty

i.e if something is clearly preventable in foresight, it likely can be included in fit for purpose definition

[idle nexus]

we have "fit for a particular purpose" as one of the implied warranties under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The problem is, all those implied warranties can be waived so they're effectively useless

[hoary zodiac]

Wait

Does the 5080 MATCH the XTX?

[mortal grail]

Hmmm bit different here, manufacturers pay out really quick when that gets claimed here

[hoary zodiac]

AHAHAHAHAH IT'S ACTUALLY GARBAGE

[mortal grail]

Depending on the item you can be covered up to as much as 15 years lol

[idle nexus]

lol we have to wait for the class action to roll around

[mortal grail]

Ye we have representative bodies instead

[idle nexus]

the thing is

[mortal grail]

So I don't think voltage unlock is warranted

[hoary zodiac]

Best 5080 is a 4080

[idle nexus]

like when G.Skill, etc. say that a product is "gauranteed for life"

[mortal grail]

There are exceptions ofc

[idle nexus]

what they mean is for the "lifetime of the product" not until you pass on

[mortal grail]

I guess if you consider like an affidavit

Say you unlock it "WARNING: this can destroy the card" yada yada

[idle nexus]

so then the question becomes how long is the lifetime of the product

[mortal grail]

Maybe it's valid

[mortal grail]

Yes indeed

Had a huge run of this end of last year

I learned a boat load

Lol

[hoary zodiac]

Is AMD going to price gouge the 9070XT

Now that they have a free market

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/8ball-bart-simpson-shaking-shake-magic-ball-gif-17725278

[idle nexus]

I don't think it would be reasonable for me to claim that my HD7970 from 2013 should still be covered by manufacturer's warranty

[mortal grail]

Not manu warranty

Fit for purpose

Here it extends beyond a warranty by definition

It's mutually exclusive

[idle nexus]

Also, does the lifetime of the product end at the same time for every single one manufactured or does it start the minute you purchase it new as a consumer

[mortal grail]

New as a consumer

[idle nexus]

"fit for purpose" sounds so simple but so open to interpretation

[mortal grail]

You don't know how long it'd be on the shelf, but you purchase it "new" you'd assume the condition that it's new such like pristine when you leave the store with it

[mortal grail]

Ofc but I think we both know a 5 year warranty doesn't start on a product if you buy it new 5 years after it releases

[idle nexus]

for example, RAM: if it came out when Zen 3 & 10th gen Intel were the new, is it "fit for purpose" that the RAM no longer works using it on a 14th gen Intel DDR4 board?

[mortal grail]

Depending on the circumstances yes

Particularly if it worked but then it now doesn't, no?

[idle nexus]

so "fit for purpose" has to include forseeable future uses?

[mortal grail]

Here it's defined yes

Open to interpretation but defined in the situation per reasonable expectation of the arbitration

Can we pause a second

[idle nexus]

so if I managed to find a package of DDR3 at some large store that sells components, it would be "new" since I am the first person who purchased it, even if it was manufactured 15 years ago? lol

[mortal grail]

I'm impressed I'm able to hold conversation rn

[mortal grail]

If it's listed new yes

That's specifically categorised under ACL

(Aus consumer law)

Items sold here must be clearly defined as to the condition, also to the type of merchant

[idle nexus]

oh so it becomes the responsibility of the manufacturers not only to distribute & sell new products but to snatch back anything really old so they don't end up losing way more than they earned on it? lol

[mortal grail]

Yes

Yes haven't you seen that before?

Lol

Some brands actively pull stock when they discontinue something

[idle nexus]

we only have a single definition of "merchant" & the rules are different for merchants & non-merchants

[mortal grail]

It's a liability to keep it out there

[idle nexus]

some rules are different--not all

[mortal grail]

Fair but for the sake of being able to continue discussion I'm pulling ACL rn lol

I wouldn't be able to keep up if it's all american law

[idle nexus]

lol this is an interesting discussion of comparative law to me rn

[mortal grail]

I'm glad I peaked a lawyer's interest

[idle nexus]

not quite there yet but thanks lol

you know what the rule was in many states before the UCC & other consumer protection?

the "common law" rule

[mortal grail]

I wouldn't the foggiest man

US law is still somewhat elusive to me

[idle nexus]

"Caveat Emptor"

Latin for, "let the buyer beware"

as in, you bought it, you assumed that risk, it's broken? your problem sorry

[hoary zodiac]

Common law rule the waves

[mortal grail]

So basically no warranty if they knew the issue

[idle nexus]

even if they didn't

unless the seller misrepresented the condition of the product

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

Vengeance users beware

[idle nexus]

& then you had to split hairs about whether the seller was stating the condition or "mere puffery"/an opinion

[mortal grail]

Law is a fun place

I actually bought a sprint locked s10 and replaced the mobo with an unlocked s10 mobo that a friend gave me lol

[fresh timber]

[idle nexus]

lol get the S10 for like $10 less

[fresh timber]

what im finding is, i like samsung phones but apples software

i cant live with out imessage and facetime

[gleaming rivet]

aye, cost me $50 for the phone since the guy told me it was unlocked and had me drive 3 hours to get it.

Which iphone you got?

[idle nexus]

I got a 5000D for like $99 on there

[fresh timber]

a 14

lol

it ight

[gleaming rivet]

aye, same. A white one like 2 or 3 years ago

[tranquil pebble]

ik someone who runs Windows 11 on less than 8 GB of RAM with HDD, no SSD. The boot time is approximately 15 to 20 minutes

[fresh timber]

battery life mid, screen size small

[idle nexus]

I got a black one but ya same lol

[gleaming rivet]

yeah. I enjoy some features on my 14, but I reach for my s22u much more often

[frigid stag]

Nah that has to be a skill issue

[idle nexus]

the only thing is didn't have airflow panels but I got top & front from Cors**r for like $15

[frigid stag]

I had 4gb ram and hdd from 2014, 30 to 40 seconds boot time

[gleaming rivet]

They sent me the airflow panels for free lol

[tranquil pebble]

system has DDR3 memory

[gleaming rivet]

I have the original sitting around here somewhere.

[idle nexus]

wth? enable hibernate

[frigid stag]

So did mine

[idle nexus]

well heck ig they know I don't like them lol

jk I didn't even ask customer service ngl

I just ordered them when they came in stock

[frigid stag]

It was pretty short boot time for hdd. About the same as am5 boot time with ssd

[fresh timber]

so far iv been using both for the same things, discord mainly, i do like how androids are more free for what u can do, iv been monitoring wifi channels and networking stuff, doing what ever i want with it really, i use my iphone for consuming tiktoks and such tho

[idle nexus]

lol memory context restore helps

[gleaming rivet]

I just called them and said "I got this case and people in the corsair discord server were telling me you guys would send me airflow panels for free" xD

[idle nexus]

but I disable memory context restore because afik you have to in order to disable power down

[fresh timber]

did somebody say windows with 8gb ram??

[idle nexus]

& I don't want no heckin latency

[frigid stag]

True

[idle nexus]

heck I should've done that

[tranquil pebble]

Windows 11, with full bloat... on 8 GB RAM... plus iGPU... so more like 7 GB available

[gleaming rivet]

I use the iphone for Pogo. For some reason it runs much better. I think it's a conspiracy.

[tranquil pebble]

plus ms office always running

[gleaming rivet]

nyk 😛

its fine if u set ur expectations and know u cant have 80000 tabs open

[tranquil pebble]

after it installed updates

[fresh timber]

im rebooting discord

[tranquil pebble]

before the updates it was like 3.9

[gleaming rivet]

Using a hacked discord client I bet /s

[tranquil pebble]

nah, Discord has a memory leak in the JS VM last I checked.

[fresh timber]

wtf

[tranquil pebble]

Thing probably ran out of allocated memory, and thus failed

[fresh timber]

i rebooted discord

whats ur problem

[fresh timber]

no idea

[idle nexus]

btw I learned a hack from Level1 Tech

not that it applies

but if you have two non-identical sets of DRAM

and you're using all 4

you should put the identical sets on the same channel

instead of like half & half

[fresh timber]

aay uh that makes sense

[idle nexus]

it makes me so sad when I see a PC for sale or something

& it has two sticks & they're both in the same channel

I wanna drive over there & put them in A2 B2

[lunar nymph]

1080 😭 upgrading to 1440 soon tho

[tranquil pebble]

I mixed DDR3 and DDR3L once

[fresh timber]

that would do it

ugh

i need to remember to save my money for macbook

[idle nexus]

1080p usually puts a lot of the load on your CPU rather than your GPU

which is why, iirc, reviewers test CPUs in games at 1080p

have you lowered the settings at all?

you could enable PBO on your 7800X3D but that's gonna beat on it even harder

Also, ray tracing is required in that game & I think that puts heavy load on CPU also

[fresh timber]

yup

its required

[idle nexus]

not sure how not/legit this website is generally but they attempted to optimize settings https://deltiasgaming.com/indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-pc-optimization-guide-best-settings-for-optimal-performance/

[tranquil pebble]

tfw rays have to be traced

[idle nexus]

another thing you could do is let the Nvidia app optimize the settings for you

at least that'll give you a baseline & you can start messing with settings after that

have you enabled DLSS?

[worn wave]

I'd go watch the Digital Foundry settings/optimization video. That being said, a 4070ti struggling that much seems off

[dusk knot]

I have to agree with you on that one

[idle nexus]

you think the GPU utilization at 60% is because it's at 1080p? that's my guess. Video is on YouTube?

[idle nexus]

I mean... Palworld & STALKER2 UE were... tolerable-ish

[icy ore]

Ok look dumb question but why are GPUs so much more expensive than CPUs when CPUs are significantly more powerful? Is it just cos of the VRAM?

[worn wave]

If it's in an area with a lot of NPCs maybe

[idle nexus]

GPUS have lots of cores I think

they're designed for parallel something I forget

[worn wave]

It's by Machine Games who did Wolfenstein and Quake, and on the same engine as Doom Eternal (id tech 7)

[icy ore]

Hmmmm

[idle nexus]

oh so it's not the same as my arch nemesis, Fallout 4's engine? lol

[icy ore]

Okay, I wasn’t sure if it was just cos people pay for it no matter what or if there were a particular reason

[fresh timber]

a cpu is justs a cpu, nothing els, a gpu is the gpu, pcb, vram, vrms, memory, cooler, etc

a gpu is essentialy a computer that plugs into your computer

[worn wave]

For a fully raytraced title it's actually quite well optimized. Vram hungry tho

[icy ore]

Ah I guess this breaks it down too

[idle nexus]

well heck maybe I should look into it. I only played like the first 3 minutes just to see how hard it would beat down my system with path tracing lol

[worn wave]

make sure you aren't going over the VRAm budget

I wouldn't ping. Maybe DM but I think customer support is the preferred method lol

[fringe sequoia]

Seems a bit extreme for such a small question though

You’re more likely to get an answer from customer support because it’s directly there for that, customer support, whereas staff are likely out with friends and family currently. Just shoot customer support a message and ask to see. They’re all very friendly

Does anyone know of any good external hard drive enclosures. Using my gaming PC as a media server might have been a bad idea.

[idle nexus]

they already had this issue a few months back iirc

[idle nexus]

lol maybe in like 3-4 months we'll see

[rancid juniper]

shhhhhhhhh

[dusk knot]

Oh...cool cool. What model?

[pliant berry]

like multi drive enclosures or just a regular 3.5" drive enclosure

[idle nexus]

lol dunno yet tbh

I haven't even tempted myself with it yet

[dusk knot]

Yet. Gotcha

[chrome mirage]

Multi drive. I already have a single drive that I'm using for my Xbox 360

[idle nexus]

but ig once you go HOF you never go back

[rancid juniper]

HALL OF FRAMES

😳

[idle nexus]

& apparently Kingpin is sitting this round out

[dusk knot]

Rip EVGA

I'm going to sell my 3080ti at a high price since it's the last of its kind

Huh

[mortal grail]

Bad yoke nvm

[dusk knot]

L

[mortal grail]

My cousin used to say the normal phrase lmao

[idle nexus]

I the rumor was he was going to do a card for PNY

but apparently they couldn't work out a deal

[idle nexus]

I should probably do this too before it's too old to be relevant

[pliant berry]

so there are some of these that I just found.

you might also want to consider how you want to use them though. if you are looking to setup an array or just single disks

[mortal grail]

Do you think my zotac is worth anything

[chrome mirage]

Thanks I'll probably have to get a dual drive one since the higher capacity ones are pretty expensive

[pliant berry]

yeah the problem is at some of those prices you might as well start building out your own nas

[fresh timber]

i build my own cause i can control the software

[chrome mirage]

I have a PC that I use as a NAS but I'm too lazy to figure out how to get Plex to work with a NAS

[fresh timber]

best advice i got was, nas is for nas only, if u want plex do it on something els

[chrome mirage]

I just noticed theres a 5 drive Ugreen one that is on sale for $200 CAD

[pliant berry]

I would just watch the raid controllers that some of these offer. usually you use raid to add redundency or expand single storage pools but if you plan on using zfs instead for that than you probably don't want a raid controller.

then again unless you just want separate drives as if you are plugging in 2-5 drives into your desktop

plex with a nas... there are a few ways to do it just depends on your setup

[chrome mirage]

I don't mind having separate drives but this Ugreen one says it supports a bunch of different types of raid

[pliant berry]

yeah you might want to look into raid and the differences between software and hardware raid a bit more

[hoary zodiac]

the youtube algorithm likes videos talking about how much the youtube algorithm sucks

[pliant berry]

or maybe it's just you

[hoary zodiac]

💀

alright time to manipulate the algorithm into giving me something to watch

[tranquil pebble]

some of them might byte though

[pliant berry]

here is something to watch https://youtu.be/FSy9G6bNuKA

I need to build myself one of these

[fresh timber]

I saw that on the TikTok app

[hoary zodiac]

👀

[pliant berry]

get outa here with tiktok

[hoary zodiac]

ok that is actually useful

might actually consider making one of these

[pliant berry]

right? would at least stop me from killing the scroll wheel in my mice

There's only one RAID that you should use for a nas (or maybe 2 or 3, I guess technically 4)
Raid 5 is probably the best choice for a 5 disk nas
One drive can fail and you can still rebuild
2nd option is raid 6
2 drives can fail and you can still rebuild
3rd option is raid 1
This is just mirroring and will make you lose half of your storage
4th option is raid 10, which is striping and mirroring, but not really feasible for a 5 disk nas (same with raid 1 since you have an odd number of disks)

[fresh timber]

raid 1 with three disk would be intresting

loose two drives before u loose ur data

[velvet summit]

It would be silly

[fresh timber]

waht i got out from some datacenter techs, skip od number

2-4-6-8 drives etc

two drives worth of data, two drives of redudent for 4

so two mirrior

[velvet summit]

5 disks is fine with raid 5, but it "supports a bunch of types of raid" doesn't make sense for a 5 bay NAS since you wouldn't even be able to use all of the supported types of raid properly

[fresh timber]

yeah thats weird

[hoary zodiac]

I really want a 3d printer now...

sigh
