[fresh timber]

On my way! To overclock my 5080 to get hwbot points

[frigid stag]

in a few games but still

[mortal grail]

You should notice something

I'm not comparing to Ada or pascal here I'm comparing to Turing

[hoary zodiac]

Fermi

[mortal grail]

This is like fermi levels bad yeah

[hoary zodiac]

or kepler

... Kepler

Funny gpu...

[fresh timber]

I found another 50 use case, you get it for frrr so now you have it

[mortal grail]

For really really real?

[hoary zodiac]

I miss dual gpus

[worn wave]

Used 4080super?

[sage sluice]

I love how the reasoning they didn't continue that is the same reasoning they actively ignore for dlss

[hoary zodiac]

They could've taped two 4080s dies together like a core 2 quad and had something better than a 5090

[pliant berry]

I had a friend that bought a amd gpu a while back. Sold it and got nvidia instead. Apparently he had no issues with it but wanted nvidia just because lol

[hoary zodiac]

Apple user mentality

[worn wave]

Only thing 40 series doesn't get is 3x and 4x framegen

[sage sluice]

Honestly fair, his money his spending

[pliant berry]

He also despises apple

[mortal grail]

Oof.

The needle barely moved 100 points overnight

[fresh timber]

Real real, plus your a big influencer and got one for free

[worn wave]

Better dlss? Bro have you even done any research at all?

[fresh timber]

Fr

The 50 series doesn’t get an exclusive dlss

To give it value to min mixers

[mortal grail]

All gens get the dlss 4 updates

Only 50 gets mfg

[worn wave]

Dude is coping so hard to justify a 5080 lmaooo

[mortal grail]

50 basically added mfg and a new codec

That's all

[worn wave]

40 series gets the new model

30 series gets the new model

[fresh timber]

20 series has been forgotten

[frigid stag]

its the same price as a 4080 super for me why would i buy the old card

[worn wave]

Heck even 20 series gets the new model

[mortal grail]

This is your intervention

[sage sluice]

Used 710 coming hot on a plate

[mortal grail]

We're here to help

[worn wave]

"used junk" lmao

[mortal grail]

We can pull you from this nightmare

[frigid stag]

i dont buy used stuff unless its cheap

[sage sluice]

Used junk is just less overpriced hardware

[mortal grail]

Is that your car in your pfp

[hoary zodiac]

🍿

[fresh timber]

10 series?

[mortal grail]

Just as well cos you'd only find that one used now

[worn wave]

10 series doesn't have the cores needed for dlss

[hoary zodiac]

You can run RSR on nvidias right?

[sage sluice]

Old cards yep

[fresh timber]

Atleast it has fsr

[sage sluice]

Wait i think

[fresh timber]

He should add a 5090 next

[mortal grail]

Why are we not better friends

[sage sluice]

I know fsr

[mortal grail]

I drive what this bloke wants

[sage sluice]

Id google it

[mortal grail]

I grew up and don't mind used hardware tho

I do

Sedan golf

The new ones

Not the old clunky bois

[hoary zodiac]

I stopped caring about used when I realised "wait a minute I'm going to upgrade in a couple years anyways"

[fresh timber]

Nvidia has released good stuff recently, just not to us

[sage sluice]

My dream project car would be one of these bad boys

Bajas are so fun

[mortal grail]

Those are unicorns wtf

[hoary zodiac]

And that's how I ended up buying a $200 coffee lake work laptop

[mortal grail]

Bro wants a 1 in a million

[sage sluice]

Lmao

[sage sluice]

I want a truck as my first car

[sage sluice]

Lemme see this

[mortal grail]

2016 DSG

Well

2017

It is

I have everything I need

[worn wave]

Would probably be cheaper to get an old Outback and do a custom mod to cut out the trunk than it would be to get a baja lol

[fresh timber]

Stole you engineer

[mortal grail]

And I have a disc player

[hoary zodiac]

Blu ray player?

[fresh timber]

Remove it

Add car play

[sage sluice]

Doesnt have the same vibe as the baja for me

[fresh timber]

Spotify is live

[hoary zodiac]

You should run handbrake x265 transcode on your car's disc drive

[sage sluice]

Theres some used ones around me for 4k or so

Not too many miles

[mortal grail]

They use different names in different countries, mine was effectively 2nd top

So not R trim

[sage sluice]

Theres a new 2025 model of the baja as well and it looks so dinky imo

[mortal grail]

[frigid stag]

[hoary zodiac]

You should put geared steam turbines in the car

[frigid stag]

[mortal grail]

Have you looked at skodas before

[frigid stag]

somewhat

i dont really like the designs tho

[mortal grail]

Audi/VW but bargain bin, comes with DCT

[sage sluice]

I dont know car mechanics enough, id be doing google searches left and right to know what goes where 💀

[mortal grail]

Lmao

[fresh timber]

Should I buy the corvette from daddy

[frigid stag]

if i can find one of those from the 2000s

[mortal grail]

I hear they're a bit of a pain to own for parts

[fresh timber]

Guys

Chrsytker 300 or 5080

[sage sluice]

If i did an engine overhaul id probably just do an 8 cylinder

[frigid stag]

true but they can be found for kinds cheap sometimes

[sage sluice]

[mortal grail]

300 by a freaking mile

[sage sluice]

300 is cheaper ong

[mortal grail]

LOL

[fresh timber]

😭😭 that’s the sad part

[sage sluice]

Although the repairs i need to do on it arent

[fresh timber]

A entire car is cheaper than a 5080

How

[sage sluice]

The breaks are gonna take at least 1k to redo

Needs new tires

New lights

[mortal grail]

Dude why aren't we better friends

[fresh timber]

Worth

[sage sluice]

Air conditioning "functions"

[mortal grail]

I owned an E36

[fresh timber]

Stole your pistonsssssss

If your car won’t start, wasn’t me

[mortal grail]

Yeah I had the 6 cylinder

[sage sluice]

Ive got an uncle whos a mechanic, i might try and see if i can work with him to do some stuff

[mortal grail]

I could've bought the M parts made a fake m3

[mortal grail]

The 18 has a 4 cylinder, only model

[hoary zodiac]

Oh? You got a tesla?

I got a whole steam engine

[mortal grail]

It sounds wayyy different to the m3

The rest all sound similar

18

The 20+ were like 50K+ when they came out

Lotta money back then

[sage sluice]

The poor engine

[mortal grail]

We call this heavily optimised Boeing

[sage sluice]

I know she does 😭 i want to fix her up

I just dont know how much itd even help

With how many miles are on it

[mortal grail]

The small dings are on panels that come off

The head lamps you can clean for basically free

[hoary zodiac]

You need to turn on RT

[mortal grail]

Then a car wash

She looks new then

[sage sluice]

Im broke and just need something that can get me from point A to point B

[mortal grail]

Idk about underneath

[hoary zodiac]

Then the car will look shinier

[sage sluice]

Shes a fixer upper

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

[sage sluice]

Its a lot of money

[sage sluice]

Yeah

Almost worked

But then the rice turned green

[fresh timber]

Mama I’m chasing a ghost, do I look

[mortal grail]

Have you tried dlss

[sage sluice]

Frame generates a higher mile per hour

Or km/h for the weirdos

[hoary zodiac]

[sage sluice]

You should just tape a NH-D15 on the engine

[sage sluice]

Me when i get hot under my blanket

[hoary zodiac]

Noctua makes car run cool

[sage sluice]

Honestly it probably does

Get some liquid cooling in there too

NOCTUA CAR NOCTUA CAR

[sage sluice]

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/generative-ai-art-made-without-human-creativity-cannot-be-protected-by-copyright-laws

Something tells me using AI for game dev is about to be dropped like an anvil

[fresh timber]

Could have tried power efficiency smh

[fresh timber]

That’s art not dev

[rancid juniper]

nah we want performance

[fresh timber]

Ai for making games is useful, unlike art

[fresh timber]

In a laptop? I’d like to see the same performance but lower power draw

[rancid juniper]

still 50 series, mid gen, invalid

game never stood a chance

[craggy shoal]

Just OC the 5080

[rancid juniper]

still cant reach 4090

[craggy shoal]

True but it's close

[fresh timber]

Close enough for me

4090 ish for $500 less

[craggy shoal]

Seems worth it to me, coming from a 4070 Super

[mortal grail]

LMFAO

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[craggy shoal]

Bruh what's even the point 💀

[mortal grail]

@sweet phoenix

Look at the stupid 4070 got an even stupider brother

[mortal grail]

Dude the 4070M is BARELY FASTER THAN A 4060M

And now

MORE OF IT

✨

[craggy shoal]

bruh

just wow

[mortal grail]

I stg that all hinges on optimus giving us anything at all out of it

[fresh timber]

Worth a lot more to me with a 7700xt

[sweet phoenix]

checks out

its literally just going to run hotter

[fresh timber]

Funny, when CPUs have small gains people are happy, when you gpus do it.. oo nooo

[sweet phoenix]

lmao what?

who gets happy about stagnation

[craggy shoal]

yeah CPUs also don't cost $1000

[fresh timber]

When AMD is faster than Intel

[mortal grail]

I mean hey, it could be worse

[fresh timber]

May I introduce you to thread ripper

[mortal grail]

It didn't get SLOWER like last gen

Holy hell

This is disgusting

[craggy shoal]

Also talking about consumer and not prosumer CPUs lol

[sweet phoenix]

9000 series is a dissapontment, 9800x3d is about 15% better than the 7800x3d, but aside from that we dont recc it

[craggy shoal]

Nobody is buying Threadripper atm other than a small percentage of people

[sweet phoenix]

im very confused what your point is

[fresh timber]

The technology improved, give them time to execute it well,

[fresh timber]

O you don’t rec 9800x3d? Its price seems very good

[sweet phoenix]

at $480 i do

[mortal grail]

This'll be the 5th year of waiting at this point dude I'm well past waiting

[sweet phoenix]

i mean the rest of 9000

[still sun]

Corporate wants you to find the difference in these 2 pictures…

[mortal grail]

Optimus is the only thing that can save the 5070M

[craggy shoal]

I still want a 9950X3D (I don't need this)

[mortal grail]

Also this is fundamentally flawed, CPU's haven't slowed down, in fact they are getting in some ways faster each gen

[fresh timber]

O you don’t like this?

[mortal grail]

Just ignore the previous gen LOL

Oh yeah ofc I pay exclusive attention to a store with less than 30% nation coverage

[fresh timber]

I did send a micrometer link didn’t I

[elfin mural]

LUCKY WINNERS TO SPEND 3000 DOLLARS!!

[sweet phoenix]

9800x3d stock sucked until recently

idk what you mean

maybe your specific microcenter had stock

[fresh timber]

I was talking about micrometer this entire time

[sweet phoenix]

but that means nothing for the overall picture

[mortal grail]

Even if your store HAD stock that doesn't count for everyone

[sweet phoenix]

mc as a whole has not had good stock for it either

[still sun]

Yeah i don’t know anymore how people spend that much without financing

[rancid juniper]

🎉🎉🎉

[mortal grail]

Most micro centers had nothing for ages dude

[sweet phoenix]

your specific mc, maybe, idk im not you

And up their I sent a screenie containing the location I shop at

[mortal grail]

Micro center as a whole has had horrible stock

[sweet phoenix]

[mortal grail]

We aren't doing goal post moving

[fresh timber]

You do you pal

[mortal grail]

9800X3D in general has had ass stock for months

[fresh timber]

Tough for you

[mortal grail]

Not tough for me at all dude, I got one for msrp

[rancid juniper]

cant believe people are paying that much for a brick

[mortal grail]

Unlike 50 series charging 50% upmark

[rancid juniper]

but what do i know?

consumerism is on a different level now

[mortal grail]

That has to be like half the nation stock

https://tenor.com/view/car-sale-cars-sale-pickup-lowballers-gif-27074536

He knows what he’s got

[mortal grail]

Yeah 700-ish sounds right to me and that's generous

[craggy shoal]

I would start it at $750 and see if anybody bites. And then lower it if not

[fossil crag]

il do 595!

[craggy shoal]

nahhh too low

do like $700 if you wanna go that low

[opaque sedge]

R u running a charity 💀

U still need to benefit from this transaction remember

[mortal grail]

Cut the lad a break lol

[fossil crag]

i just need money ngl

[craggy shoal]

$750

[mortal grail]

Try 700 zoro

$725

[opaque sedge]

Make sure to say 699.98 or smth

Its a psychology thing that works for some reason in america

I still dont understand why stuff is priced here like that

[craggy shoal]

$699.99 makes it look like you're a company selling it

[fossil crag]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/405512729629

buy plz

im broke

[craggy shoal]

bruh I'm broke too

[opaque sedge]

Oh right i didn’t think of that makes sense

New to the server
"Buy my stuff"
Wrong way to advertise yourself 💀

Earning money isn't quick

[ancient swift]

What would you buy with 6500$+tax?

[craggy shoal]

oh no

[ancient swift]

I wouldn't buy an RTX 5090 thats for sure

[opaque sedge]

A car 💀

[craggy shoal]

I would buy a Miata from FBMP with that kind of money

[opaque sedge]

Used one ofc

Goddamn

GT86

A vacation to japan

[opaque sedge]

Where?!?

[mortal grail]

A vacation also to italy

[mortal grail]

Wym where

[craggy shoal]

Have fun with your oil starvation lol

[mortal grail]

Are they not available there

[ancient swift]

Food Vacations would be fun

[mortal grail]

That's GR

[craggy shoal]

:0

[opaque sedge]

Where tf are u getting a gt86 for 6500 dollas

[mortal grail]

Australia lolwat

[craggy shoal]

Australia probably doesn't have the same goofy car market like we have here in America

Probably could get a C6 for under 10K if you're lucky

[mortal grail]

Well a year ago they were that much

Idk about now

[mortal grail]

WHERE?

[craggy shoal]

idk

[ancient swift]

Yeah used GT86s are 28k when I do a search on google

[craggy shoal]

just kinda thought

[craggy shoal]

overhyped car fr

Unless you're looking at new GR86s

[opaque sedge]

I think wrx’s are pretty cool

[craggy shoal]

I still want a GTI

[ancient swift]

I see a 2020 GR86 for 19k. lul

[opaque sedge]

Somewhat practical too

[opaque sedge]

Def salvaged or smth

[elfin mural]

overpriced ngl

[opaque sedge]

Oh wait gr or gt?

[craggy shoal]

Even the base WRX isn't even that bad imo

[ancient swift]

Just get a hatchback and be happy smh

[elfin mural]

gt86

[opaque sedge]

Thought the gr came later

[craggy shoal]

Wagon

[elfin mural]

base wrx with manual is a way better buy

if you really want a sporty car

[proud jackal]

[ancient swift]

Wagons kinda died out for SUV's I feel

[opaque sedge]

Yeah used gt86 makes sense

[proud jackal]

Just get a plain civic

[craggy shoal]

yeah people have bad taste

[proud jackal]

[opaque sedge]

Outback and volvo’s are the only ones carrying

[elfin mural]

i blame cafe regulations too

[opaque sedge]

😔

[ancient swift]

Agreed

[craggy shoal]

Cadillac Escalades are just wagons on stilts

[elfin mural]

cars, not suvs are subjected to higher fuel economy standards

[ancient swift]

I think Hatchbacks and Wagons should be the go tos for cars for normal people

[elfin mural]

failing to meet the requirements means the automaker gets fined each year

[mortal grail]

They've appreciated about 3K AUD since I looked a year ago

6.5 wasn't unrealistic once

Not now tho ig

[opaque sedge]

Man and thats aud which is lower in value than usd

[mortal grail]

Cos they're everywhere dude

[opaque sedge]

Whats the avg yearly income there?

[mortal grail]

Like 55K

[craggy shoal]

Still overpriced imo

[proud jackal]

What's that in usd

[opaque sedge]

Ngl in a sunny place like Australia i would also like to have smth like a 86

[mortal grail]

About 10K now

9.5K?

[proud jackal]

My 2006 Acura rsx still trucking along

[mortal grail]

Around there

[ancient swift]

VW ID.7 Tourer is the closest we have to a Wagon EV, and they don't have the same style wagons used to have.

[opaque sedge]

And its prolly the only entry level manual coupe in the market i assume

[mortal grail]

The banger beaters here pick scoobies, commos, falcons or GT's that's why they're everywhere

[craggy shoal]

I'll continue to make this statement until I die

bruh I'm not wrong

Overly tall SUV fr

it's still tall when lowered like wtf

[mortal grail]

I'd say like

Tailgate my ass like i’m slowing down the left lane when the entire traffic is coming to a slowdown

[mortal grail]

"Alpha male" located

[mortal grail]

Nvm

[opaque sedge]

I effing hate interstates

[craggy shoal]

They're always slow in the fast lane. Like what's the point of getting a V8 if you're not gonna use it?

[mortal grail]

Good guy located

[mortal grail]

Cos it takes 10 years to speed up even with the v8

[craggy shoal]

True but you'll get there eventually lol

[mortal grail]

You forget it's a puny ass v8 also with 3 tonnes

This ain't a mustang

The v8 option reduces the acceleration to speed down to 7 years

Premium tier

[opaque sedge]

I dunno what i had in mind when making this i was too lazy 💀

[craggy shoal]

people are really buying a 4-ton SUV that has a V8 that only makes 420 hp and 460 lb-ft 😭

[mortal grail]

"With premium gasoline"

Tf

That's so out of place 💀

[craggy shoal]

💀

like 93 octane

or is it 91?

idk

My car takes regular lol

[mortal grail]

What if they start calling 91 premium

Which premium

[craggy shoal]

93 and 91 are both premium to me

89 is plus

[mortal grail]

Who tf writes that

Premium gasoline

[craggy shoal]

JUST GIVE ME THE OCTANE LEVEL

[mortal grail]

[craggy shoal]

I'M A MATH PERSON

[mortal grail]

REAL

[craggy shoal]

IDK WHAT "Premium" MEANS WHAT

[worthy meteor]

Some lead included

Very premium experience

[mortal grail]

Premium

Leaded

Gasoline

Yes

[craggy shoal]

THIS IS A CAR, NOT SOME LANGUAGE ARTS PROJECT

ENGINEERING

MATH

MECHANICS

[mortal grail]

This reads like a youtube roast lmfao

[craggy shoal]

I NEED IT TO SAY 91-94 Octane NOT 𝒫𝓇𝑒𝓂𝒾𝓊𝓂

And then your mom (who this car is for somehow) still puts regular 87 in it to "save money"

[misty sparrow]

Are you talking about fuel grades at gas pumps?

[craggy shoal]

no

[opaque sedge]

Americans

[craggy shoal]

not at all

yes we're talking about fuel

[mortal grail]

The cadillac article above

[craggy shoal]

this bs

[misty sparrow]

Yeah that’s premium graded fuel

[craggy shoal]

"𝒫𝓇𝑒𝓂𝒾𝓊𝓂"

[sweet phoenix]

you get to pay extra for gas

[craggy shoal]

JUST TELL ME "91-94 Octane"

[sweet phoenix]

yayyyyy

[misty sparrow]

I mean when you go to a gas station and look at premium the octane level is on the button

[mortal grail]

It's so true tho, they could just say which grade on the car

[craggy shoal]

I look for numbers, not letters

tf do letters mean

[mortal grail]

Lmao

[craggy shoal]

mfs think I can read

I'm American. What's reading?

[mortal grail]

I've got tears motor you're killing me

[craggy shoal]

I'm crashing out

I have a meeting in like 7 minutes (related to fuel btw)

[opaque sedge]

Reminds me my dad used to talk abt how very few vehicles would pass thru their village when he was growing up (it was very rural) and that he apparently found the smell of the gas they emitted nice… i checked when unleaded gasoline started distributing there and my dad was well grown up by then 💀

[mortal grail]

I think you're ready

☠️

[craggy shoal]

oh I'm prepared

[opaque sedge]

Btw he’s got issues which is the punchline of this story

[misty sparrow]

do cars actually need premium fuel or is it all marketing stunts

[sweet phoenix]

some do yes

wrong fuel will kill them

[craggy shoal]

Cars that state they need "𝒫𝓇𝑒𝓂𝒾𝓊𝓂" fuel actually need Premium fuel, can't go lower than that

[mortal grail]

"Btw I lived a messed up life" is such a brash way of ending it 💀💀

[misty sparrow]

I go to a nearby gas station and one of the signs says “Get premium fuel for higher fuel efficiency” and I don’t think it’s legit

[craggy shoal]

Dallas comes here every once in a while asking why he has engine knocking and then states "yeah I put 87 in my 91 engine. So what?"

(actually like twice, he's done this)

[opaque sedge]

Sigh

[icy ore]

[sinful blade]

OI

[opaque sedge]

I’ll type it again

[craggy shoal]

This guy typed a whole paragraph and Dyno shut him up 💀

[sinful blade]

No swear

[craggy shoal]

Anyways I have to go to this meeting. I'll see y'all later

[opaque sedge]

I remember putting in that gas option with 5% extra ethanol in it (most gas options have 10% i believe) and i was scared af thinking it would break the car

Fortunately nothing happened

[mortal grail]

Such a real feeling tho

It's an expensive thing

You're putting unusual thing into

[opaque sedge]

And a necessity for getting around

[mortal grail]

Natural to be anxious

Yeah it's not like you get time to think

It's straight away

Lmao

[opaque sedge]

This was quite good with rice ngl

Think imma get seconds

[proud jackal]

[sinful blade]

It’s good not to mix gas amounts

It’ll ruin your engine

@mortal grail

They’re sending the part

[elfin mural]

warzone prefers amd gpus a lot more tho

[fresh timber]

The 5080 will beat me

Kek

[frigid stag]

its a driver thing, if you fully tweak them theres not much difference

besides i try to always have full control of my gpu i dont even use nvidia app or geforce experience

profile inspector better

[fresh timber]

Wanna know what prefers nvidia

Ai stuff

Give 5080

5090

Anytbing

[craggy shoal]

5090 (more VRAM)

Just get a used 3090. Like a quarter of the cost

[fresh timber]

Too poor

Rn

If I get extra funds ima get a 3060

Maybe two

Without oc 5080 and half the price of a 4090 and people still complain

[gleaming sedge]

What would be a good hard drive to use for my plex server?

Looking for something that does not break the bank to much but has decent capacity

[worthy meteor]

X300 pro prob

[devout forum]

I mean
I can get a 4090 for less than a 5080

So there's that

[frigid stag]

Where

[devout forum]

Used in Hungary

[fresh timber]

Looks good to me

[frigid stag]

Here used 4090 costs around 30% more than new 5080 so

Some 5080s are overpriced by stores

[proud jackal]

All*

[fresh timber]

Some

Theirs one for $999

[frigid stag]

Found a suprim for 1699

[worn wave]

Comparing it to 4090 instead of 4080/4080 super, keep coping

[frigid stag]

Because that’s the flagship and this is stock no overclock lmao. Keep malding i guess

20% faster than a 4080 super if not more with oc xddd

For some reason it’s always people who weren’t gonna buy it anyway or could afford it complaining about it

[worn wave]

Yeah, I'm not gonna give ngreedia $ for a 5080 lmao

They keep launching terrible cards and stupid people keep buying them 💀

[fresh timber]

I lovr how the 5080 is cheaper than the 4080 and it gets hate

[worn wave]

Well... The FE is cheaper but good luck getting one

Good luck getting any 5080 for that matter

(for MSRP, I'm sure you can find scalped cards for more)

[fresh timber]

Your ignoring the other 5080 that’s msrp

[wise wigeon]

850w should be enough in general outside of like 5090 builds with like intel power hogs right?

[fresh timber]

How easy was the 4080 to get at launch? Same for 3080?

[worn wave]

3080 was covid chip shortage so doesn't really count. Not sure abt 4080

[wise wigeon]

4080 sold out iirc

[worn wave]

But also the 4080 was $899 and had a larger perf jump

[wise wigeon]

?

it was 1200

[worn wave]

Oh?

[wise wigeon]

tf you on about

[fresh timber]

Yeah..

[worn wave]

12gb was $899

[fresh timber]

Launch Price
1,199 USD

4080

[worn wave]

Oh wait was the 12gb also slower

I think it might be

[worthy meteor]

4080 super is the one with $1000 msrp

[wise wigeon]

the 12 gb never got released

[worn wave]

Huh

I was looking at an article, my bad

[fresh timber]

Yes it did

It got renamed to 4070

[wise wigeon]

thought it got released as the ti with more vram

anyway 5080 is a really bad generational uplift, but if there was stock at msrp for everyone

its still the best card in that range

we'll see what amd cooks up but thats over a month out

[devout forum]

50 series thus far is a disaster

[fresh timber]

Idk how low stock is a disaster

Wouldn’t a disaster like negatively impact your life or something g

[wise wigeon]

doesnt make a paper launch any less annoying though

man should i have just paid that extra 40 bucks to go 1000w instead

[fresh timber]

It seems annoying to the stupid people who wanted one

Other than that life has been the same

[wise wigeon]

how is neweggs policy on returns nowadays

i know in the past there was like a 15% restocking fee

[wind quail]

ooof

idk google it lol

[worthy meteor]

I think that was only on high demand items?

[wise wigeon]

like i bought the 2024 version of the rm850x

[frigid stag]

No one with a 4080 or 4070 ti is buying them it’s for people with older cards. And they’re still faster than 99% of cards out there. The “terrible” 5080 probably destroys your gpu

[wise wigeon]

but i mean i could drive to my nearest best buy for a rm1000x

[worthy meteor]

Currently no restocking fee on most items looks like

[wise wigeon]

its around $40 more

[frigid stag]

I have a gpu from 2019 wtf else is there. I’m not paying the almost same price for someone else’s used 4080 that’s slower than a 5080 and older

[wise wigeon]

normally I wouldnt be so afraid but gpus suck a lot of power nowadays

reallistically I dont think its an issue

[wind quail]

unless you got a 90 series card theres no need, even then a 850w is fine for most

[wise wigeon]

yeah i just hear some horror stories

[wind quail]

sorry xx90 that is

thats because they got crap PSU's

or it was the connector

[frigid stag]

Connector

Melted completely if you didn’t plug it in right

[wise wigeon]

cause even something like a 7900xtx pulls 400w on an OC model, looks like HUB's OCed 5080 only pulled like 325

[wind quail]

yeah but psu can die too if its a crap psu idk what exactly they heard

[worn wave]

I mean, I got a 4070 for $400. Price/perf it likely beats a 5080

[wise wigeon]

and its not like i'm using an intel chip

[wind quail]

a 400w gpu is perfect on an 850w

[wise wigeon]

its a 9800x3d

which for the most part sucks up sub 100w

[wind quail]

even if you did itd be fine

[wise wigeon]

ngl if another like 800 or 830 7900xtx pops up, I might just skip the rat race

[frigid stag]

It’s definitely around 100w

The 7800x3d is the low power one

[wise wigeon]

around it

7800x3d was like sub90w right?

[frigid stag]

Like 60 to 80w ye

Or somewhere around there

[wise wigeon]

still like 100w+ 400 to 450w +like 100w for everything else

650w

[frigid stag]

400w for the 5080?

[wise wigeon]

nah i'm just giving bad scenarios

like possible spikes

[frigid stag]

Ah

Yeah definitely possible

[wise wigeon]

I usually undervolt my gpus

[frigid stag]

An oc’d one is like 350w

[wise wigeon]

which is kinda nuts

users really found the 5080 ti upgrade before it came out

i mean I had a nice psu before but with a new build that could potentially have an nvidia gpu i fidgured shelling out for a psu with a native 12+4 would be nice

but 650w/850w is like 76%

so 25% left over

soI would want a better one?

rm850x was 120

1000x is like 160

how much headroom is ideal

[sweet phoenix]

The mwe gold is yes

[wise wigeon]

well its just the rm1000x i can just drive to bestbuy for

[sweet phoenix]

Idk how to compare without use tier list lingo, it's B tier vs A tier

And rmx is literally as good as psus get

[wise wigeon]

and psu cultist is like a year and a half out of date

[sweet phoenix]

[wise wigeon]

good cables

[sweet phoenix]

Rmx also handles transients incredibly well

[wise wigeon]

also the lancool 207 is up to 160mm

[sweet phoenix]

And yeah cables that can do basically twice their load

Corsair doesn't do much right

The RM line is one of the things they do

They've had a few variations of it

Rme and rm were worse than rmx

Rmx shift and 2024 are good

[wise wigeon]

they had the 2018, then 2021, and they launched the 2024 in like october

[sweet phoenix]

Woudlnt say that exactly lol

[rancid juniper]

i like my RMX 750w psu

[sweet phoenix]

Ah

It's still a great A tier

Just not rmx/hx/axi/sf quality

[wise wigeon]

if i were more reallistic about how muuch watts the gpu would suck it'd be more like 35% headroom

[sweet phoenix]

Cv is corsairs worst psu

Followed by cx 2023, cxm2018/2021, cx 2018

Uhh

Oh and cxf

It's also a better unit

A tier vs b tier ish

The gf3 1200 is either high B or low A i forget which

[woven turret]

ok now it either works and boots or it blows up

[wise wigeon]

on the cuklltist list it has the core reactor 1 as a tier

is there a more up to date

[woven turret]

OK ITS ON

whats D.O.C.P.?

[gentle canyon]

the cpu?

[woven turret]

yes

46

[wise wigeon]

core reactor 2 is b tier

[woven turret]

god the bios looks so good

[wise wigeon]

the speculative a tier was the cybercore 2

[gentle canyon]

wanted to make sure you weren't talking about a non existent gpu lmao

yeah 46 is fine i think, what do u have cooling it?

[worn wave]

Chat is price/perf cope?

[woven turret]

arctic liquid freezer 3 240

also where do I buy a legit key for windows 11?
