5900HX/3070

[surreal comet]

Nice nice

I have a g14

[hoary zodiac]

Specifically picked it because of non soldered ram

[surreal comet]

Good platform

[hoary zodiac]

And the heatpipes

And also it's not a troll 65w gpu

[surreal comet]

Asus phone Asus laptop but not a single Asus part in my main PC

[hoary zodiac]

Based

[surreal comet]

[hoary zodiac]

Asus is overpriced generally

[surreal comet]

Y'all got any 2050s

[hoary zodiac]

Their laptops and phones are solid

But motherboards are extremely mid

[surreal comet]

Their GPUs are kinda ugly tbh

[hoary zodiac]

It's cheap plastic

[surreal comet]

I've Always just used MSI motherboards

[nocturne flicker]

ASUS mobos are pain

[hoary zodiac]

Not worth the price

[surreal comet]

They're bland but they get the job done

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/yall-got-anymore-addict-dave-chappelle-drugs-gif-14177910

[surreal comet]

And that's all I want a mobo to do

[mortal grail]

💀

[hoary zodiac]

I want an intel build

To replace my mini pc

[surreal comet]

How mini

[hoary zodiac]

That's going to be years down the line tho

[mortal grail]

It's just ryzen but a little less glitch prone

Ultra 200 looks cool tho

[surreal comet]

I wanna do some kind of Itx build with a 7900xtx

[mortal grail]

Super efficient

[surreal comet]

I want that thing to cook

[surreal comet]

🙏

[hoary zodiac]

I'm mostly after the igpu

[mortal grail]

Quick sync?

[hoary zodiac]

For transcoding

Yeee

[surreal comet]

You could probably strap this to the back of a decent sized monitor tbh

[mortal grail]

Aw ye

[surreal comet]

Would look clean perhaps

Desk I mean

[hoary zodiac]

There are n100 SBCs btw

[surreal comet]

Do y'all actually recommend buying PC parts off AliExpress

Never tried it

[hoary zodiac]

Depends

[surreal comet]

Seems fine if you do research

[mortal grail]

Can't rn

It was ok until tariff wars

[surreal comet]

Ah, right

[mortal grail]

Now they're doing suspended trading

[hoary zodiac]

Is it screwed here too?

[mortal grail]

And frozen shipments

[hoary zodiac]

Or just the US

[surreal comet]

[mortal grail]

We're ok

[surreal comet]

Back to eBay I go

[hoary zodiac]

Phew

[mortal grail]

Ye just the US rn

[surreal comet]

Wonder if I can snipe 7900xtx for under 1k

And shove it into a fractal case

[hoary zodiac]

They are under 1k

Did the price go up???

[mortal grail]

I'd aim for $800-ish used

Higher they aren't worth

[surreal comet]

Sell my 4070 for 400 dollar

🙏

[hoary zodiac]

Is there a scarcity on XTX now?

[mortal grail]

Cos new 7900XT's are regularly 650 rn

[surreal comet]

I need more vram Minecraft doesn't like my

12gb of vram

Or when I use high res textures in emulation in general

[hoary zodiac]

Vanilla?

[mortal grail]

And 116% of a 7900XT is like, not even 800, be like 750 lol

[surreal comet]

Nah usually swapping between different packs

Plus at 1440p the odd time I wanna run something kinda demanding the 12gb isn't exactly a great thing to have

[hoary zodiac]

Oh do you use a RT pack or something

[surreal comet]

Sometimes for scenic builds and whatnot

[hoary zodiac]

For me Minecraft just eats up my cpu but I mostly run vanilla with slight modifications

[surreal comet]

The only part I really like about the 4070 is the power efficiency

I think it's really good

[hoary zodiac]

I run the game on my igpu with shaders

[surreal comet]

I can UV the card and draw only 140-150 watts

Without any real noticable gaming losses

I think Nvidia did a decent job on that front

[hoary zodiac]

wait until you see 50 series laptops

[surreal comet]

Y'all got a 5050 in your laptop?

[nocturne flicker]

500 watt laptops

[mortal grail]

I wouldn't mind a 5050 if it had 8gb

[hoary zodiac]

Apparently they're really efficient

[surreal comet]

The 4060 in my laptop only draws 120 watts if im plugged into a wall?

Less I think?

Idk I mainly use the igpu

[mortal grail]

Usually peak about 96W

[hoary zodiac]

It better

[surreal comet]

For emulation the igpu is great

[mortal grail]

Even the highest skus

[surreal comet]

Ty

[mortal grail]

Not really over 100

Even if the tdp says 150

Actual draw 100-ish

[surreal comet]

Gotcha

[nocturne flicker]

Oh yeah, that is right, their mobile is efficient, can't do the funni stupid high power meme

[surreal comet]

I'm just uniformed

The usual ....

[hoary zodiac]

What about 3070?

[mortal grail]

Ye cos ada is mostly vrel perfcap

[mortal grail]

It'll draw 500W if you allow it

[hoary zodiac]

wtf

The plastic will melt on my laptop

[mortal grail]

Different perfcap reason is why

Ampere is power limited

Ada vrel

Blackwell vrel too (mostly)

[nocturne flicker]

Need aluminum chasis, then you can fry egg on it instead

[surreal comet]

How ....

[hoary zodiac]

I want a zephyrus

[surreal comet]

I have one of those

Good laptop

[mortal grail]

Cos the architecture will pull more by the way it's coded

Ok I need to clarify here

[hoary zodiac]

I'm basically just using 2 laptops

[mortal grail]

500W is exaggerated

[surreal comet]

I'm not tech literate

[hoary zodiac]

My gaming laptop and my work laptop that I bought recently

[surreal comet]

[mortal grail]

But it's basically whatever power it wants

[nocturne flicker]

I like my basic as heck Clevo chasis rebrand laptops

[mortal grail]

300W wouldn't surprise me

[nocturne flicker]

The thicker ones with the external battery

[surreal comet]

I wish the g14 didn't have that ugly design on the front

But whateva

[hoary zodiac]

Like ~$130 for a i5 8250u laptop

Got it because I don't want to lug around my main laptop

[misty sparrow]

Add a storage compartment inside the case to cook fried chicken

[hoary zodiac]

• better workflow

[surreal comet]

Okay okay I will say

If you get one

Change the wifi card

Stock they're terrible

Idk why

[nocturne flicker]

KFC console already fills the fried chicken market

[hoary zodiac]

I have a Ryzen so

I'm pretty limited in choices

[misty sparrow]

it never released sadly

[nocturne flicker]

Needs to have compartment for baking pizza

[surreal comet]

I got mine brand new and it was only getting some 50mb down

[misty sparrow]

they skimped out on their promises just like they always do

[surreal comet]

I replaced the card with a cheapo 14 dollar wifi card and got my normal 500mb down

[hoary zodiac]

Tbh I'll probably get a desktop next

[mortal grail]

Tmw can't grill egg cos chip too efficient

[surreal comet]

Unsure why they're putting such cheap wifi cards in a "premium" product

[mortal grail]

Gdi amd

[hoary zodiac]

Since now I'm separating my gaming and work setups

[surreal comet]

I never got having two setups for gaming and school

And whatnot

[mortal grail]

Imagine being only able to concentrate specifically in two different places

There you go

[surreal comet]

I see ....

[misty sparrow]

for a PC build? well, i can understand it if you have school software that is really invasive like Respondus Lockdown Browser

but for general use no

[surreal comet]

Y'all like the airflow

[surreal comet]

I've heard of stuff like that

Absurd tbh

[surreal comet]

The lockdown software anyways

[hoary zodiac]

Easier to carry around than my strix too

[misty sparrow]

i mean it does what it does, locks down the whole operating system until the test is done

[hoary zodiac]

• very lightweight OS without all bloat

[mortal grail]

Actually based build

How much was the mobo

Was it an mc combo

[surreal comet]

Not mine I thought it was funny from Twitter

[mortal grail]

Oh

Lol

[surreal comet]

Feel bad for the sag mount

[hoary zodiac]

Strix 💀

[surreal comet]

Y'all use a strix

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry YumYum can make the Pizza Hut Box

[hoary zodiac]

Strix motherboards have no value

[surreal comet]

My main PC build is but that's ugly and I can't find pictures of it

[hoary zodiac]

I'd rather get a gigabyte

[misty sparrow]

Imagine if someone takes this statue and turns it into a sag mount

[mortal grail]

I mean if it was a strix in that mc combo from a couple months ago I'd have gotten it

They gave that away

[nocturne flicker]

Nobody outgames the Hut

[mortal grail]

7800x3d plus a strix for like $100

It was worth 1000%

[misty sparrow]

Papa Johns in a call of duty match with Pizza Hut wouldn't go down well

[mortal grail]

They have the ripjaws ram too to match it

That would've likely been the mc strix combo

Then a new 5080

[hoary zodiac]

My old rig

[mortal grail]

It's not bad provided that 5080 wasn't 1200+

[mortal grail]

Bro's pc had space for a sheep paddock and a cow paddock

[hoary zodiac]

I was going to put a server in it at some point

[mortal grail]

I remember this from somewhere lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

Life had other ideas

[surreal comet]

I can't find a picture of my PC and that's prob for the better

[mortal grail]

That would've been amazing

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I still want to do that some day

Phanteks please make an Enthoo Pro 3 🙏

[nocturne flicker]

I only have pic of the pepeg PC

[hoary zodiac]

With 2 psu mounts

And a crap ton of drive bays

[misty sparrow]

it's like Sisyphus pushing the boulder, but instead of the boulder it's the GPU

[hoary zodiac]

Enthoo pro 2 has 2 motherboard mounts but only one psu for some reason

I mean you can mount 2 psus but not with 2 motherboard at the same time

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe I'll take a pic of my actual PC one day

[mortal grail]

He's pushing the gpu to new heights with AI

[nocturne flicker]

You'll get to gaze in awe at my red electrical tape on my gpu light strip

[misty sparrow]

he loses his grip on bad performance

has to push it back up

[mortal grail]

TOO REAL

TOO REAL

BAD TIMING

[nocturne flicker]

And cringe at my dusty fans

[mortal grail]

JENSEN WILL BE SEETHING

[mortal grail]

He is pushing the gpu up the hill

[misty sparrow]

the hill represents our wallets

and like our wallets, the hill has its peak

and then from there the hill declines

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry the more you buy

The more you save

[mortal grail]

[Muffled Sisyphus sounds]

[surreal comet]

Couldn't find my PC sucks

[hoary zodiac]

Voting with your wallet doesn't work

[mortal grail]

https://youtu.be/l7l9QmtiXHU

[hoary zodiac]

Because it expects a level of intelligence not present in consumers

[misty sparrow]

aliens are probably laughing at us saying "look at these losers lmao" as we keep buying gpus with incremental price increases yet lower performance gains

[surreal comet]

But guys

[mortal grail]

Jensen is laughing in his ufo

[surreal comet]

They said the 5070 was faster than the 4090

[mortal grail]

He fooled us all

[misty sparrow]

jensen's a skinwalker

[surreal comet]

I trust them

💔

[misty sparrow]

12GB > 24GB

[surreal comet]

I should just get a 7900xtx and never look back

[misty sparrow]

clearly 5070 wins

[surreal comet]

Do y'all think I could cool a 7800x3d in one of them small fractal PCs

[nocturne flicker]

Quit the diy game while you are ahead, come back when your PC dies, maybe things will be a little better then

[hoary zodiac]

Zen 4 is pretty efficient

[surreal comet]

My air cooler is pretty good on mine

But it's a higher end (?) air cooler

[hoary zodiac]

PA120?

[surreal comet]

I know those fractal cases use tiny fans

[surreal comet]

It's some noctua air cooler

NH12u or sum

[hoary zodiac]

D15?

[mortal grail]

It's not even a question, yes

[surreal comet]

Thought it was supposed to be high end idk

Looks pricy

[hoary zodiac]

The PA120 probably outperforms it

Not that the NH-U12S is a bad cooler or anything

[mortal grail]

You can cool a 7800X3D on a stock cooler and it's ~3% slower than a 360mm aio

[hoary zodiac]

Just a tad overpriced

[mortal grail]

An LP cooler will work perfectly fine

[hoary zodiac]

It's still good enough to cool it fine

[surreal comet]

I got it for a Christmas present so price wasn't my issue

[hoary zodiac]

Zen 4 is pretty cool

[surreal comet]

🙏

[hoary zodiac]

Oh sweet

[surreal comet]

Its the model with black fans too

[hoary zodiac]

Their main attraction is acoustics really

[surreal comet]

Yeah it's really quiet

[mortal grail]

https://youtu.be/lgiBcD7bBaw

[surreal comet]

For a meme I tried to use the stock AM4 cooler on a 5800x3d

Didn't work out well

[hoary zodiac]

Does it come with one?

[surreal comet]

No

[mortal grail]

5800 is much harder than a 7800

[surreal comet]

Had one lying around

[mortal grail]

7800 you could do the stock cooler on honestly

[hoary zodiac]

You could probably stuff a 7800X3D in a laptop

[mortal grail]

You can

They literally did do that

They did the 7950x3d even

[misty sparrow]

anything is possible with technology

[surreal comet]

I am wondering

[mortal grail]

Look up 7945hx3d @hoary zodiac

It's 7950x3d just 65w

[surreal comet]

Would the 7900xtx even fit in the smaller fractal cases

Wonder how temps and noise are

[mortal grail]

Yes

Reference and pulse fit in the small fractal itx

Wtf the name again

Uh

[surreal comet]

Your guess is as good as mine

[hoary zodiac]

Are they the same bins too?

Or cherry picked bins

[mortal grail]

Terra

[surreal comet]

A 7800x3d and a 7900xtx would be a killer 1440p combo

[mortal grail]

Idk never played with one ask forks

[misty sparrow]

What if I told you they had an even smaller one?

[surreal comet]

Especially so I can run super smash Bros melee at 60fps

[misty sparrow]

the Ridge

[surreal comet]

🙏

[hoary zodiac]

Ridge?

Wallet?

[surreal comet]

Looks like hipster office PC

[mortal grail]

Isn't ridge bigger

[misty sparrow]

looks small if you flip it horizontally

[surreal comet]

A PC build where zero cables are showing

[mortal grail]

It is bigger

11.4 vs 16.3

[misty sparrow]

hm

interesting

[mortal grail]

Ridge is like smallest you can go if you want a large card with an lp cooler

[surreal comet]

Interesting

[mortal grail]

At least as far as mainstream

[surreal comet]

Hope we get more LP cards

[misty sparrow]

i'd say 7900xtx can fit

[mortal grail]

It can

[surreal comet]

Super tiny cases aren't my thing but I see the appeal

[mortal grail]

You have 2 slot XTX cards

XTX def fits

[misty sparrow]

terra can fit up to a 322mm length gpu

[surreal comet]

Nvidia give us 5060 low profile 12gb of vram thank you

[misty sparrow]

thats what it says

[mortal grail]

Ref, turbo, pulse are usually the best fits for sff

On xtx

[hoary zodiac]

Pulse

👀

[mortal grail]

Pulse is the best one

[hoary zodiac]

Pulse gang???

Ayo

My 5700XT was a pulse

[surreal comet]

Kinda dumb question

Is sapphire a reference card

Or

Different brand

[hoary zodiac]

Depends

Wait

They don't make reference models?

Based?

[surreal comet]

I'm still newer to PC builds so anything before like 2019 is the wild west for me

[hoary zodiac]

Wait

They do

Ughhh

Depends on generation????

[mortal grail]

Ah I'm slightly wrong, pulse won't fit terra

[hoary zodiac]

Sapphire Pulse/Nitro is generally what you want

[mortal grail]

Hellhound does tho

[hoary zodiac]

Sapphire usually always make solid cards

[surreal comet]

I've only ever had hellhound AMD GPUs

Edgy looks aside they had nice cooling

Heavy as sin because of it though

[hoary zodiac]

Think of Sapphire as like the EVGA of Radeon

[surreal comet]

The 6800xt I had felt like a weapon

[surreal comet]

Gotcha

[hoary zodiac]

Every sapphire card I've had

Great thermals

[mortal grail]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jXFKKq I only don't like the mobo tbh but nothing would have issues here

[surreal comet]

The next AMD GPU I wanna get is the reference model(?)

I think they look really good

[hoary zodiac]

Although, with the 7900XT/XTX they're all really well built

So you can't really go wrong there

[mortal grail]

New 9070 ones look like they're decent tbh

[surreal comet]

Quite pricy, but you're paying for the form factor

[mortal grail]

Ye

I mean

Not much you're actually overpaying for tbh

Psu, case, mobo (a little)

[surreal comet]

I'm a cheapo I see a case over 100 bucks an I am mildly scared

[mortal grail]

Terra is just that expensive tho lmao

[surreal comet]

They seem kinda

What's the word

[misty sparrow]

$189

good lord for a case that's pricey

[mortal grail]

If you want budget small go d32 and matx

[misty sparrow]

it's probably the metal accents

[mortal grail]

Terra is a special kind of expensive

[surreal comet]

190 dollar for less case

[hoary zodiac]

My enthoo pro 2 costs less than that

[surreal comet]

Worth waiting out for seeing pricing you think?

If they even have any in stock on launch that is

[mortal grail]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wdgQcx here's more budget friendly smol

[mortal grail]

Tbh no

[surreal comet]

Wait am I just not seeing it

[mortal grail]

Despite promises of stock I guarantee scalping will go wild

[surreal comet]

Is there not a 90 tier next gen?

[mortal grail]

There's not

[surreal comet]

Only seeing up to 9080

[mortal grail]

9070

Eh

9080?

[surreal comet]

Thought i heard about 9080

Maybe I just misheard something though

[mortal grail]

No they cancelled it a long time ago

[misty sparrow]

wait are they really going with 9000series for amd?

that's the actual name?

[mortal grail]

Ye

[misty sparrow]

did they really just skip 8000

[surreal comet]

Y'all got a 9070xt

[mortal grail]

8 is unlucky in asia

[surreal comet]

9070 sounds so bad

Why not just do 9700

Are they purposely making it confusing or something

[mortal grail]

Yeah they did that cos they wanted people to be able to compare to nvidia more

[misty sparrow]

so what happens if you're born on the 8th of any month in asia, or in August

you just

[mortal grail]

It doesn't help when nvidia has gained 2% market share year on year every year

[mortal grail]

You're genuinely unlucky

Lol

[surreal comet]

What, compare to Nvidia and get laughed at because amd dropped out of the top tier market

[misty sparrow]

couldve tried to get marketshare through value

[mortal grail]

Ask me how their mind works I won't have the answer lol

[surreal comet]

Surely we should compare ourselves to Nvidia

[mortal grail]

They're down to like 8% desktop market share vs nvidia at 90%

[surreal comet]

Even though we're seemingly doing the bare minimum of

[mortal grail]

It comes across desparate imo

[surreal comet]

Similar performance at slightly lower cost and a worst feature set

Like don't get me wrong

I do not care for RT or DLSS

But having worse options for both is still a bad look for a buyer

Especially when these things are the price of a mid tier PC build

[mortal grail]

Ye which is why they're, at least supposedly, going for an aggressive price approach

That is

If the big bingus boasting promises can be trusted

They should be able to recognise by now that creating a similar performing card and slightly undercutting just doesn't work

They're losing market share even when last gen was so good

[surreal comet]

I am sorry but promises mean nothing with no actual numbers to back it up

[mortal grail]

Ofc

[surreal comet]

get one gen that has an actual following and is pretty good on its own
Mess it up immediately next gen

Sure copy Nvidia, ignore the fact Nvidia is able to price at whatever they want and we can't

[mortal grail]

For a lot of people that was rdna 2 and 3

Yet 3 was arguably way more comparable

But that's the issue

Even when it was comparable and much much cheaper

Not enough

They're still losing market share

[surreal comet]

You can't do a good job you gotta do a great job if you want longevity

[mortal grail]

Exactly

[surreal comet]

One spark isn't enough to keep people buying lol

[misty sparrow]

AMD = Absolutely Mediocre Decisionmaking

[mortal grail]

So them just undercutting the equivalent 70 cards isn't nearly enough

[surreal comet]

It's like if Honda made the first gen civic, saw it was popular and went "yeah make it worse"

[mortal grail]

They need to really make these cards look like a bargain

[surreal comet]

We got into their good graces

[mortal grail]

Like the b580 did

[surreal comet]

Surely they're stupid enough to just keep buying

[misty sparrow]

Imagine if you get your wish, but it's dollar-store bargain

[mortal grail]

And that said despite that the b580 is actually rubbish to game on if you don't play mainstream stuff

[surreal comet]

I get why amd doesn't chase the top tier Nvidia cards for performance, but I think it kinda shows they're not really trying?

[mortal grail]

B580 has worse issues than the 5700XT in some situations

[surreal comet]

At least the 6900xt was trying to compete with the 3090ti

If I remember right anyways idk

For this generation they just threw in the towel and gave up

[mortal grail]

*3090

[surreal comet]

Doesn't inspire confidence in the rest of the lineup

[mortal grail]

Hmmm

Everyone sees that part different I think

Me I see a likely XTX at a big discount

Many see it as you do, no high end, means stupid mindshare

[surreal comet]

I understand why they're not trying to compete with the 4090/5090
Just think it's kinda a throw in the towel moment

Maybe I just don't see the market correctly

[mortal grail]

Their official reason is to focus on the mainstream market

[surreal comet]

mainstream
700 dollar cards

[mortal grail]

Since the highest end is a small fraction of the market

Well yeah

Man 5090 is 2 grand

Lmfao

[misty sparrow]

It's kind of hard to breach a market when products are expensive, so many consumers probably won't want to gamble hundreds on something that is not from someone as reputable as the company they've already been buying from

that's my take

[surreal comet]

Ignoring the fact I just saw one on Facebook for 5 grand

[mortal grail]

Lmao

But yeah you think about it

They put countless hours into an xtx

Then the xt

Gre

7800 xt

7700xt

7600/xt

Now instead

They halve that

[surreal comet]

I think that whole xtx, xt and gre only really confuses people more than anything

Dunno

[mortal grail]

9070, 9070xt

9060, 9060 XT

That's half as many skus

All that RnD

Into half

[surreal comet]

Bleh

It's all so confusing

[mortal grail]

The logic is at least there anyway, lol

[surreal comet]

This whole market kinda stinks tbh

[mortal grail]

It does

[misty sparrow]

is it AI's fault like many have been saying

[mortal grail]

It makes last gen look stupid good rn lol

[surreal comet]

But hey we can all just buy a 5070 because it's better than a 4090

Clearly

[mortal grail]

Kinda yeah cos the market value is hyperinflated by a.i boom

In the big picture, gaming market share makes up less than 10% for these guys

We aren't that important anymore

[surreal comet]

Gonna try to get myself a 7900xtx and hunker down

[misty sparrow]

no wonder 3080 refuses to go down in price on ebay despite 4070 being available

its value should not be that high

but the vram gets people

[mortal grail]

I wouldn't rule out a 7900XT. Only 16% slower and regularly 620-680 new

[surreal comet]

3080s are still like 600 bucks here on my facebook market

[mortal grail]

7900XT is unusually well priced rn

[surreal comet]

Wouldn't be too much of a bump from the 4070, granted a 7900xtx probably isn't either

Just want more vram

[mortal grail]

I mean, near 4080 raster?

[surreal comet]

Got the 4070 for pretty cheap

So meh

[mortal grail]

It's a pretty big bump tbh

[surreal comet]

Like 400 bucks

[mortal grail]

20K to about

[surreal comet]

Around there

[mortal grail]

30K

28k?

[surreal comet]

I see

[mortal grail]

It's 40-50% raster bump give or take

[surreal comet]

Really?

Wow

[mortal grail]

RT it's about the same

Yeah

It's more than it looks

[surreal comet]

I don't care much for RT tbh

[mortal grail]

Cos the RT averages it out

[surreal comet]

I do have a higher refresh rate monitor

Would be nice if more games could hit the 240hz

[mortal grail]

XTX RT is like, 3080-3090-ish

7900XT is 4070/3080-ish

[surreal comet]

RT just, doesn't look much different?

I don't know

[mortal grail]

No I agree

[misty sparrow]

RT is like putting pepper on food

[mortal grail]

It's a minor change

[misty sparrow]

barely noticeable

[mortal grail]

RT is making my puddles look glossy

Lmao

[surreal comet]

Granted I play doodoo old games

Like

Melee
And
Team fort 2

What do I know about lightning I don't even think melee knows what a lighting is

[mortal grail]

Lol

[surreal comet]

All AMD build on paper just kinda reads nicer as well dunno

[mortal grail]

Both XTX and XT are often misunderstood for raw perf

[surreal comet]

I'll keep my eyes open for a 7900xtx

[mortal grail]

The XTX raw perf is near 5080

[surreal comet]

That's all I care about tbh

Raw frames

[mortal grail]

XT is just under 4080

[surreal comet]

High settings now a days looks great anyways

Imo

Yeah Forza horizon 5 isn't a good game but it's pretty without RT

[mortal grail]

Same can't be said about FM8

[surreal comet]

I seldom see a difference between high and ultra in most games to begin with

[surreal comet]

Built from the ground up

[mortal grail]

Game looks worse in higher settings lmao

[surreal comet]

Such a disappointment

I've never been so disappointed in a modern release

[mortal grail]

It's still bad

[surreal comet]

Besides maybe bo6

[misty sparrow]

The ground was unstable

They should've used flat ground

[surreal comet]

Granted I was dumb for thinking they actually made a good cod game again

[misty sparrow]

they release them every year

[surreal comet]

Back to bo2 we go

[misty sparrow]

can you even play online on the pc version anymore?

doesn't it leak your IP?

[surreal comet]

Plutonium servers

Otherwise yeah steam is ruined for any cod game before like

Bo3?

[mortal grail]

Vpn les go

[surreal comet]

Bo3 has community patches

But people literally only play zombies on bo3

[misty sparrow]

and it has steam workshop

[misty sparrow]

if it works it works, and i'm surprised it did

[surreal comet]

Gonna try to find a reference card for sale

They look good

[mortal grail]

I want that apple man

Lmao

[mortal grail]

Just beware they're noisy

Other than that perfectly fine

[surreal comet]

The red apple takes money the green apple gives you money

[surreal comet]

Really? I see

[mortal grail]

Yeah small af card lots of power

[surreal comet]

What's on the quieter end?

[mortal grail]

No surprises there

[surreal comet]

If any of them are really "quiet"

[mortal grail]

Nitro, pulse, hellhound, red devil, liquid devil, pg, taichi, aqua

Uh

[misty sparrow]

pc builders tend to go crazy when their pc produces a miniscule amount of sound

[mortal grail]

Xfx mag air

Uh

[surreal comet]

Just turn the speakers up

Duh

[surreal comet]

I see I see

[mortal grail]

Am I forgetting an aib

Xfx, power colour, sapphire

Msi doesn't exist as of rdna 3

Classic was ass

[surreal comet]

XFX cards look kinda nice

[mortal grail]

Biostar was ass

[mortal grail]

The mercs are honestly, but they're not quiet

They're otherwise amazing tho

Not reference loud but not quiet

[surreal comet]

Can't even find any 7900xtx on eBay

Maybe my eBay settings are messed up

[mortal grail]

Yeah all 7900 cards are in high demand rn

[surreal comet]

Makes sense

[mortal grail]

Can't find the pic

[surreal comet]

Considering it's probably the last 9(?) tier amd card

Whatever the hell they call them idk these names suck

[mortal grail]

Found it

[misty sparrow]

wow

is this in USD?

[mortal grail]

Ye

[surreal comet]

Damn

[misty sparrow]

i think the closest nvidia card to $700 is 4070ti i think

and they give you 20GB?

wow

[surreal comet]

There is a 7900xt on Facebook near me for 600 bucks

A gigabyte model

[surreal comet]

Never heard of the 4070ti hold on

[mortal grail]

Gaming oc is fine

[surreal comet]

[peak heart]

Any good extension cord to connect pc and monitor + phone charger?

[surreal comet]

20 gigabyte woaw

[peak heart]

The respect ive got for this after rtx 50 launch 🫡

[surreal comet]

Never had a gigabyte card tbh

[peak heart]

Giga byte vs msi vs asus which is best?

[surreal comet]

I'm unsure, I'm not too versed in thayb

[peak heart]

Msi > gigabyte > asus?

[proud jackal]

[surreal comet]

It is what it is

It's 6am nearly time for breakfast

[hoary zodiac]

lol

[surreal comet]

I could go for a 7900xt instead of the xtx but I feel like if I just wait it out it'll be better in the long run to get the xtx

Wait it snowed

That's annoying

[hoary zodiac]

Oh yeah it's winter for y'all

[surreal comet]

For us east coasters

[mortal grail]

Do y'all really just wake up and the snow is just there

Nice fortnite pal

[tranquil pebble]

@mortal grail Gigabyte B650I AX worth getting?

as far as I can tell it's the same as the A620I AX save for a Type C

https://fixupx.com/skooookum/status/1887150300617736432

Most of the time I am using obsidian or notability

[hoary zodiac]

I went from ms word to notion to ms word to libreoffice to vim to libreoffice then finally to zettlr

I'm slowly transitioning over to FOSS

[pliant berry]

I liked obsidian because its just markdown and has a lot of plugins available for more advanced features. Chapter and tag organization is also nice. Though I only like that for taking notes on a laptop not phone or tablet

[hoary zodiac]

I like zettlr because it seems to have the best features for a FOSS option

My workflow is optimised for quick note taking so I don't need everything in one app

Basically I'll use zettlr for lecture notes and then recompile everything in a comprehensive LibreOffice document

[pliant berry]

Tbh for lectures I just record the lecture and generate bullet points using the transcripts, then I modify that summary slightly afterward to highlight certain points

[lone mango]

Had someone offer 500 bucks on a PC I built and had listed for 650

Cause "they need it"

Ok I need to pay my bills

Idk why people think you'll give good discount if they just say they need it

Not by me

I don’t got 5 G’s to drop on a resurfacer

[velvet summit]

You don't need 5 grand to polish plastic

You just need like 20-80 bucks pretty much

Maybe $100 if you're gonna do that many disks

$20 for the compounds
$80 for the tool

Just a few hours of work

[frigid stag]

TMI bruh

[nocturne flicker]

I only want the finest Polish plastics

[pliant berry]

Tmi

[surreal comet]

You don't have a "tummy" you're 45

[lone mango]

The ones that are really bad are the ones in the bottle

[velvet summit]

So it looks like it spilled a little more

[frigid stag]

It’s still a decent difference

Either lowballs or fake listings

Guy near me has a 7900xtx I wanna buy but he don't respond

Brother it's a Sunday there ain't nothing to do

[frigid stag]

Many people have plans on Sunday meeting with people or other stuff 😭

[surreal comet]

It's a snow day ain't no one planning nothing

Frauds

He has two 1 star reviews as a seller

And zero other star reviews

[frigid stag]

I suggest not buying from that one then

[surreal comet]

He hasn't responded in hours so I probably won't

Will find my GPU elsewhere

Found one in eBay at 900 bucks

Hmmm ....

Okay price I think? I think it's better to aim more towards 800 if I recall

Nvm he literally made his account today

[rancid juniper]

what gpu

[surreal comet]

7900xtx

An asrock phantom model

Seller don't accept returns but there is the eBay money back guarantee

[rancid juniper]

hmm i wouldn't risk

[surreal comet]

Yeah

New account selling a gpu people want way under other listings generic description

[rancid juniper]

I'd say wait a few extra months, seriously its bad right now

[surreal comet]

Yeah I noticed

Never seen it this dry for AMD cards usually no one wants em

[rancid juniper]

after the rough launch of nvidia's offerings it seems people are fed up

I've seen posts of people jumping from the green team

[surreal comet]

Fine I'll buy the one with muh bad drivers if I get more than 12gb of vram

[lone mango]

[surreal comet]

People saw the 5080 and lost hope

[rancid juniper]

the bad driver fiasco is long gone

Intel is just more stable

Never had any problems

[surreal comet]

I wanna get a 7900xtx and have it in a 1440p rig I just let stay solid for a while

Get a high airflow case that has alot of room for storage

[lone mango]

If you don’t play games made after 2022 you could prob do 4k ngl

[surreal comet]

I don't tbh

Just have the nice 1440p monitor anyways

Wanna drive it with something really good and call it a day for a while

I don't rt anyways so might as well go amd

[lone mango]

I wonder why there are those rebranded ref cards

Thats literally the amd card but from powercolor

[lone mango]

[velvet summit]

Random friendly reminder to check if your microphone is a condenser if it's not working, and make sure phantom power is turned on if it is

I had 3 mics working and one wasn't
Turned out one of them was a confenser

[surreal comet]

I know the XT isn't too far off from the XTX

[velvet summit]

Condenser

[surreal comet]

I feel like if I'm spending this much might as well wait a bit longer to get an xtx

[rancid juniper]

yea

[velvet summit]

I was bamboozled

[surreal comet]

Unless I get an xt for dirt cheap, I'll wait this out

[lone mango]

Yeah the price when it launched was silly but i think now it segmented itself more from the xtx

[rancid juniper]

truly you guys trust this right?

[lone mango]

When it launched it was almost like it existed to upsell you to the xtx

[surreal comet]

I'd buy 50

artifiacting didn't seem too much worse than just dlss upscalign on its own. Latency feels fine, until you try to aim a weapon and it feels wayyy to floaty
