"PULL"

I guess the actual halo announcement would be "Combat Evolved"

[opaque sedge]

Ups i delivering my steam deck this week and i see this crap…

[still sun]

As someone who had a seasonal job with them back in December, that really sucks. I can promise thats not how they strive to deliver things

If I had to guess, that probably occurred during loading, because while in transit, stuff really doesn’t move around much

[storm narwhal]

Holy god

[surreal comet]

You will use a gt1630

And you will like it

[still sun]

Nvidia honestly needs another 16 series but i know they wont do it lol

[balmy solstice]

it'd be too hard to commit to what consumers want

Johnny was right, all these corpro scum are the same

😔

[storm narwhal]

Also funny they had to censor the word kill on Twitter lol

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/johnny-silverhand-cyberpunk-2077-gif-1282984467117982678

[still sun]

Ideally it would just be like 3-4 different 10 gig models priced pretty low with good 1080P performance

[balmy solstice]

they probably wouldn't be able to be 2 fan gpu's anymore though

and if they did anything like it, it'd probably be called the 32 series

and it'd be longer or thiccer

[still sun]

Ahh

Why no 2 fan? Memory?

[craggy shoal]

I've found this site not to be accurate

A quieter userbenchmark

[worn night]

Did you screw the cooler down all the way? Did you remove the plastic peel? And also try getting FanControl or going into the bios to set the fan and pump speed

[craggy shoal]

go to #building-and-recc-chat

[worn night]

[craggy shoal]

Who even are you?

This chat will be flooded with tech support all day if y'all treat #general-chat as a tech support channel

Happens way too often

[twilit ibex]

[craggy shoal]

mfs will see #building-and-recc-chat and go "yeah lemme slap my issue right in #general-chat" and then complain when you tell them to go to the help channel

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's pretty good

[twilit ibex]

Will it overkill some games

[craggy shoal]

I'd upgrade the memory to 6000 MHz when you can though

[twilit ibex]

Or no

[ancient swift]

I was about to ask if my flux capacitor was causing thermal throttling on my techno doohickey

[twilit ibex]

Idk how to do that stuff i bought pre build

[craggy shoal]

Overkill? Nah. But it'll last you a few years

[twilit ibex]

How much will i get on Fortnite

[craggy shoal]

There's tutorials on YouTube. Just see what memory modules people suggest (basically any reputable pair of 6000 MHz sticks) and lookup a tutorial on YouTube. Actually the easiest thing to swap in a PC

[twilit ibex]

I want Atleast 400 fps

[craggy shoal]

bruh

you act like we'd know

[twilit ibex]

bro tell me

now

[frigid stag]

just overclock it its fine

[craggy shoal]

man I just woke up what even is #general-chat rn

[frigid stag]

well uh

in royale?

[craggy shoal]

400 fps is a goofy requirement ngl

[twilit ibex]

No

In performance

[craggy shoal]

400... fps?

[twilit ibex]

I wanna be like clix

[frigid stag]

but in br?

[twilit ibex]

Yes

Yes

Hes

[frigid stag]

uh maybe

[craggy shoal]

400 performance isn't a metric lol

[worn night]

I said one sentence that’s not arguing

[twilit ibex]

[craggy shoal]

Anyways

[worn night]

Rip

[frigid stag]

idk if u can get 400 on a 7700x

u should probably get around there

[fresh timber]

You can

Just not consistently

[frigid stag]

nice then

[craggy shoal]

Does your monitor even do 400 Hz?

[frigid stag]

he said 180

1% lows matter

[craggy shoal]

400 fps is pointless if your monitor can't do 400 Hz lol

[worn night]

Then you should only aim to get 185 fps

[frigid stag]

1% lows wont be 400

[fresh timber]

You don’t need 400fps lows

Get good at the game

[worn night]

What resolution is he even using

[fresh timber]

https://tenor.com/view/satoru-gojo-domain-expansion-muryoo-kuusho-six-eyes-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-2102848127558680877

[frigid stag]

even if u get 400 average

1% lows should match refresh rate at least

[fresh timber]

They can at a lower fps if your good

[frigid stag]

theres tweaks that can get u there

but ram overclocking helps a lot

Fire hazard

[craggy shoal]

[devout forum]

5080 shouldn't be

[balmy solstice]

I'm an arsonist

[devout forum]

IIRC it's only 4090, 4090D, 5090 and 5090D that's fire hazard

[fresh timber]

All 50 series has poo connector, might as well ignore them

And they suck

[balmy solstice]

5080 or 4080 doesn't pull enough power to cause that

[devout forum]

There goes the 9070 hype

[fresh timber]

I wouldn’t be suprised if they can catch fire but it rare

[devout forum]

7900XTX/used 4080 might just be my next upgrade

[fresh timber]

They locked me in a room. a rubber room

[craggy shoal]

Man Nvidia just can't figure out why their GPUs catch on fire. Remember the 2070 incidents?

[fresh timber]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-family-guy-peter-griffin-insane-crazy-gif-21485232

[devout forum]

Used 4080 is unironically slightly cheaper

[craggy shoal]

I think even the 1070s

[devout forum]

So I think that's a fair enough deal

My smart 500w is more safe than 50 series

[devout forum]

I wouldn't go that far

[fresh timber]

I will

[balmy solstice]

my 4k monitors need fuel

[devout forum]

Smart 500w is pretty high up on the fire hazard list

[fresh timber]

It’s been 3 months and it hasn’t cought fire, 5090? Week one

Coincidence I think not

[craggy shoal]

Bruh I wouldn't pair any GPU above a 200W TDP with a 500W Smart PSU

[devout forum]

Do you have a 5090?

[fresh timber]

No

[devout forum]

Then you can't actually compare

[fresh timber]

Why would I have a smart if I had a 5090

[devout forum]

Heh

I guess you want double fire?

[fresh timber]

Why not, I see reports of boom boom fire

Now if i got it for free theirs no fire

https://tenor.com/view/youre-your-gif-22328611

Smart PSU line is pretty famously bad

[fresh timber]

Yes

[balmy solstice]

check your dms btw :)

[fresh timber]

It’s free so it’s good

[devout forum]

But yes

[fresh timber]

Atleast it cost $40 unlike the 5090

:))

[devout forum]

4080 is gonna have to do for my upgrade along with a 1440p OLED

[fresh timber]

$40 hazard or $600999999 hazard

Just get any A-tier 750W and you'll be good

[fresh timber]

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[fresh timber]

I’m over budget rn

[craggy shoal]

but when you get money

[devout forum]

Or 850 if you're crazy enough to get a 4090

[fresh timber]

That’s already in my main pc

[devout forum]

I'm fairly sure that not all are fore hazards

[fresh timber]

You hear about my dead ram channel?

I have to buy a new motherboard now smh

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that sucks

[fresh timber]

Yuh

It’s $80, in fine

[craggy shoal]

Is it for sure the motherboard? Did you try sticking the dead stick into another slot?

[fresh timber]

Yeah I already tested everything

[fresh timber]

Want a dead board

Also want my old cpu

[craggy shoal]

I already have a 1300X that I'm probably never going to use again

First Ryzen CPU lol

[frigid stag]

will it even be enough

[devout forum]

Should be

With a 7800X3D it's enough for sure

[fresh timber]

Why not upgrade to a 2300x

[fresh timber]

13600kf is in my rig

[devout forum]

Yeah not with that lol

[craggy shoal]

because my weakest CPU that's currently being used is a 12100F 💀 I'll let you compare those two lol

[devout forum]

Even the 600k is power virus

[frigid stag]

i mean itll cut it

[devout forum]

That can go over 220w too iirc

[frigid stag]

500w + 200w

should be good

[devout forum]

Eeeeeeehh

[craggy shoal]

181W (from Intel)

[devout forum]

And in actuality?

[frigid stag]

in gaming it doesnt use over like 120w

[craggy shoal]

yeah that's the part I wanna know 💀

[frigid stag]

if youre running like prime or cinebench itll hit 250

but most people nah

[fresh timber]

I ran my 13600kf and 7700xt on the 500w smart and it kept shutting off

[craggy shoal]

More than likely won't reach beyond what Intel states when gaming lol (especially if undervolting). @rancid juniper would know (sorry for the ping)

[frigid stag]

yep

even 14900ks is like 130w in gaming

you can't just migrate your configs?

[craggy shoal]

I tried that before. It's weird

You can do a full backup on the original host but all of my HACS stuff is gone (but still functioning? idk it's weird)

I'd rather just make an image of my installation and put that onto Proxmox

[pliant berry]

I found an ancient piece of history in my phone

(im finally backing up my phone to immich)

[craggy shoal]

found this image in some Discord server lol

I should make an Immich installation

[pliant berry]

my mom was complaining about iCloud storage so I figured it's about time. my server seems to be pretty stable now

[frigid stag]

oh my icloud ran out too

it is not enough storage

[pliant berry]

odd, did you do a docker install or baremetal

[craggy shoal]

I've seen a lot more people using Immich now. Is it finally stable? I remember them saying that it wasn't very stable and shouldn't be relied upon

[pliant berry]

there are some features like templates that apparently can be unstable but that you can just disable. I haven't noticed anything yet but I only just installed on truenas yesterday

you also have people like hexos making one click install preconfigs of immich

you do have to watch the file permissions with immich though, some of the folders require specific perms

[devout forum]

Apparently one to one comparison

if its only for the deck get iems

yeah been wanting a pair of oevr ear headphones i can take out but its not a need rn and iems are more cost effective

[opaque sedge]

lol pretty sure the gre even tops the 4070 super

[paper verge]

yep iems are cheaper + better audio really

[sage sluice]

Lol yeah it does, its between super and ti

[frigid stag]

LOL this is so wrong

7800xt is at or below 3080 let alone the Ti

No idea how they got those results when literally every other reviewer shows the opposite but 🤷

[sage sluice]

Why cant we just have one good solid benchmark list this big 😔

[lone mango]

The 5090 with missing rops is so crazy

novideo has to be sued bro enough is enough

[frigid stag]

Oh this isn’t as rare as you think

A few people in another server have varying Rop counts

One has 168 the other 176

[lone mango]

The 5088

[frigid stag]

They both have 5090s, one is gigabyte the other fe or zotac

I forgot

It’s most likely vbios reporting wrong

[devout forum]

in what loads?

[rancid juniper]

too bad that the company is so damn big that no one would do anything about it

[frigid stag]

In gaming

[lone mango]

Nah the guy even downloaded another vbios and still shows 168

[frigid stag]

Also 6900xt btfos all of them

[rancid juniper]

give them a fine? Nothing
sue? likely nothing

[frigid stag]

But somehow they have it shown worse than7800xt

[mortal grail]

Cos they have an RT graph and the raster of a 7800XT is near or above a Ti like the 6800XT before it

[frigid stag]

Exactly

[devout forum]

7800 XT is consistently ahead at 1440p but behind in 4k

[frigid stag]

This checks out

[mortal grail]

Again

Raster

RT

[frigid stag]

The 1440 is also higher on the 3080ti tho

[mortal grail]

<<<<

[devout forum]

LMFAO

58 is above 51 but okay

it also depends on the game itself

[frigid stag]

That’s 0.1% low

[devout forum]

COD would vastly favor AMD anyway

[frigid stag]

I was looking at the averages and the current

[devout forum]

I'd say that is much more important than averages

[rancid juniper]

isn't 7800xt slightly faster than 3080 in raster?

[devout forum]

it is

Not by a lot

But it IS faster

[sweet phoenix]

It's probably the vram difference

[rancid juniper]

ok

[frigid stag]

using 7600 cpu
Yeah dips check out

Need good cpu like x3D for op 1% lows

[devout forum]

that's an entirely reasonable setup?

[sweet phoenix]

Cpu will not noticeably affect either of these gpus at ultra settings 1440p/4k

[devout forum]

and it's the same CPU so it is valid

[frigid stag]

Cpu/ ram affects 1% and 0.1% especially the most

[sweet phoenix]

Thats fair

[devout forum]

Doesn't matter as long as you use the same items everywhere else

If you put the 7800XT on a 9800X3D bench while the 3080 Ti was on a 7600 I'd be inclined to see your point

But that ain't the case here

[frigid stag]

A lot of those YouTube benchmarks are sketchy too

[devout forum]

This is as apples to apples as it gets

[frigid stag]

There’s a few I trust that actually show the hardware

[devout forum]

Tomshardware confirms it too

so like

[frigid stag]

Hardware unboxed and tpu show 3080 and ti better

Also 6900xt should btfo all

[devout forum]

I'd love to see that because that is not how I remember

[devout forum]

That's like

Literally margin of error?

[lone mango]

[worthy meteor]

TPU has the 3080ti barely ahead

[frigid stag]

Yeah that’s a regular 3080

Not the ti

[frigid stag]

Old benchmark

[devout forum]

doesn't matter lmao

[frigid stag]

Driver updates?

[devout forum]

Driver updates usually favor AMD

[frigid stag]

The 7800xt isn’t even in that 💀

[rancid juniper]

lol

[frigid stag]

It’s a completely different arch

[lone mango]

[worthy meteor]

the review you're pulling from is on the same day as the review i'm pulling from

or rather, the data from it

[devout forum]

Yeah bro just can't accept it

[worthy meteor]

techspot/hub got their 3080ti data from launch day

same as tpu

[mortal grail]

💀 why are they inconsistent

[rancid juniper]

am i late on this?

[frigid stag]

Wdym

[worthy meteor]

techspot/hub just has a less diverse range of games that end up favoring Nvidia a bit more

[mortal grail]

Nope the party just started

[frigid stag]

They’re 2 different videos

Dunno why though

[rancid juniper]

ah ok

[mortal grail]

Here's his last suite

[devout forum]

Wait so after the terrible launch stock, the scalping and the fire hazard
Now effectively any 5090 could ALSO be the victim of an nGreedAI QC screwup?

[lone mango]

What even started all of this bruh

[devout forum]

Can a generation of GPUs get any worse?

[rancid juniper]

yes

XD

[mortal grail]

Idk going based off of what I know the 7800XT has the raster advantage of like 5-10%

[worthy meteor]

oh I just noticed they keep adding games to it, that's prob why

it went 12 game average to 15 to 17

[lone mango]

the 3080ti is a few percent faster than the 7800 xt is what im getting from this

[devout forum]

And that's likely to do with driver dev

[mortal grail]

It also depends on variant

[frigid stag]

Ye obv but 6900xtx btfos all

[devout forum]

Eeeh, not really

[mortal grail]

Some have 3x8

Those are quick

[devout forum]

At like atrocious power draw and heat output

[mortal grail]

Some have 2x8

[frigid stag]

350w to 400w?

[mortal grail]

Even the 2x8 3090s were mid

[frigid stag]

That’s perfectly normal

[devout forum]

"perfectly normal" when you trip 1000 watt PSUs with transients

[frigid stag]

It gets close to 4080 perf if you oc it enough

[mortal grail]

You'd be talking a 450W one to be beating a normal 7800XT

[lone mango]

That was more of a 30 series thing tho

[devout forum]

Oh my sweet summer child

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

Lemme make it clear there's a BIG difference to the 2x8 vs 3x8

[devout forum]

6900/6950XT was also awful with transients

[lone mango]

I guess 6900 was the exception then

[devout forum]

Like potentially even worse than 30 series

[craggy shoal]

My 4070 Super is good enough. My 4070 Super is good enough

[mortal grail]

It's near-ish 80 Ti in raster

You could argue above or below Ti given the model

[sweet phoenix]

Whether I keep it for another two years is up to my pay and the economy

[craggy shoal]

I should've gotten at least a 4070 Ti Super given some of the AI stuff I do

[mortal grail]

Some 80 Tis were awful

Getting this TV

[frigid stag]

Ik someone that got a c2 for like 600 last year. Brand new

[rancid juniper]

the performance is still near similar @viral plover

[viral plover]

Samsung S95D OLED
Why it’s great: Often hailed as the best overall OLED TV for 2025, the S95D uses a QD-OLED panel (quantum dots combined with OLED) for exceptional brightness (up to 1,700 nits) and vibrant colors, paired with perfect black levels. Its anti-glare matte screen makes it ideal for bright rooms, a rare strength for OLEDs. HDR performance shines with HDR10 and HDR10+ support, delivering stunning contrast and detail in 4K content.
Pros: Four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 144Hz, low input lag (around 8.9ms), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and a sleek design with a One Connect Box for ports. Excellent for gaming and movies.
Cons: No Dolby Vision support (a notable omission for some HDR enthusiasts), and its premium price (around $3,099 for 65-inch) may stretch budgets.
Best for: Those wanting a bright, versatile OLED for mixed lighting conditions and gaming.

[craggy shoal]

This guy acts like I have $3000

[viral plover]

Best Value: LG C4 OLED Evo for a balanced mix of performance and affordability.

[craggy shoal]

I already ordered a TV lol

[viral plover]

thanks

[rancid juniper]

no problem!

Lowkey a good idea lol

The spec sucks ass but at least the fan would be useful

4070, because it's better for ray tracing

[devout forum]

Blergh

[crisp patio]

i was thinking 4070 super/7800xt x 7800x3d. i’m abit of a noob, what do you think haha

[gentle canyon]

if you can find A 7900 GRE the msrp was only 50$ more than the 7800 XT's but I haven't looked at gpu pricing online at all really so idk what is selling for what besides 50 series being oos

[devout forum]

I don't even bother recommending based on RT cuz RT is STILL a gimmick like a decade after the "RT revolution"

[viral plover]

4070 ti super

[viral plover]

Which One Should You Get?
Choose the RTX 4070 Super if:

You want better ray tracing & DLSS 3 support.
You need CUDA for productivity.
You care about lower power draw & better efficiency.
You prefer NVIDIA driver support & stability.
Choose the RX 7800 XT if:

You want the best price-to-performance ratio.
You need 16GB VRAM for longevity.
You don’t prioritize ray tracing.
You want to avoid NVIDIA’s 12GB VRAM limitation.
Final Verdict
If you're gaming at 1440p and don’t care about ray tracing, the 7800 XT is a strong value pick.
If you want ray tracing, AI upscaling (DLSS 3), or better efficiency, the 4070 Super is the better choice.

There's #building-and-recc-chat to get direct advice

[crisp patio]

ah ok, preciate it man

[crisp patio]

makes sense, i personally use a 1440p monitor, will take it into account🙌

[sage sluice]

1440p monitor id say gets used from between about a 6700xt to 7900gre (or about a 2080ti and 4070 ti)

Thats my recommended range anyway

6700xt is stretching it a bit with more modern titles but

Kinda stay in that ballpark

[crisp patio]

do you mind helping me in dms if you have 5 minutes? can send you some eth for tje help

i dont have a good idea of what im doing

easiest way would be installing atlasos

they both work, atlas even though way more popular messes up with my graphics

[mortal grail]

Better value than a $150 MAG PSU

[wise wigeon]

Flubba

Gimme a sanity check to

Real quick

That 70 ti bundle is less than the xtx I’m returning

If I return my rm850x it saves me 135 overall

Worse power supply though

Middling performance but like just behind the 850x shift in overall performance
