yeah a lot of people just throw away knives

idle nexus
#

lol won't those dull quick tho? they're like cheap steel cuz they're disposable

wise wigeon
#

welp rip core reactor plan

razor blades rust so quick I hate that lol

wise wigeon

itas back to 130

pseudo patrol
#

true only 3 uses max lol

idle nexus
#

these don't really do anything for serrated tho

#

the only time I ever hecked myself was with a serrated cutting bread lol

icy ore
#

Man the feeling of a knife slicing skin makes my nerves crawl

#

Ugh

hoary zodiac
#

I probably should get a knife block

icy ore

Sliced the tip of my finger in half down to the bone once and ever since then I just

#

yes it was the worst thing ever

#

went right through my fingernail too

pseudo patrol
#

it’s like a paper thin cut but it feels so bad

hoary zodiac
#

the annoying part is that it's deep

#

kitchen knives are so sharp that the slightest cut is pretty painful

idle nexus
#

ya you gotta like tape it together or something lol

#

wait until it's kinda closed & superglue it

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

aren't liquid stitches just basically superglue without the bad stuff?

idle nexus
devout forum
#

I feel dirty for wanting it...

idle nexus
#

just when I think people can't get dumber

mortal grail

#

it's like 20% more expensive than the 4070 Ti Super

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder

idle nexus
#

what country uses ft for their currency? lol

hoary zodiac
#

what if you make a knife from Krupp steel

devout forum
#

and it's also a Ventus 3x so that's kinda not great

mortal grail

#

Isn't that like $950

devout forum
#

nah

#

Try 1100

idle nexus
#

that's insane

devout forum
#

Correction
1375.20 USD

idle nexus
#

if I paid $1100 for a 5070ti, I better get two of them

hoary zodiac
#

imagine using naval armour steel for knives

devout forum
#

I know

dense locust

It is disgusting

hoary zodiac
#

actually...

#

aren't pre ww2 steels higher quality?

devout forum
hoary zodiac
#

something to do with radiation

devout forum
#

and they're not really "higher quality" but they are special in the sense that they're not contaminated with radioactive particles

fresh timber

I see

#

so it's better for say

#

lab applications?

devout forum
#

Ye

mortal grail
#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

oh wow that knife was made from the Tirpitz

eternal fiber
#

ventus is supposed to be msrp, msi made a shadow card that is not found anywhere to fake it as the msrp card so that they can sell ventus higher

devout forum
fresh timber

that'd be a cool piece of history to own

Damascus is so pretty

idle nexus
#

50 series is ridiculous

mortal grail
#

Which is ridiculous

devout forum
idle nexus
#

dude if AMD has something half decent

#

& they somehow duff this launch

mortal grail
#

Asus got called out for not having an msrp card

hoary zodiac
mortal grail
#

They had to change one

devout forum
#

But it would be a big uplift from a 6700 xt and the market is already screwed

hoary zodiac
#

not in the sense that tourists can go there and trash it

#

but ya know

#

actually safe to visit

idle nexus
#

ya I think they made the Prime card reference

devout forum
idle nexus
#

they always do

icy ore
idle nexus
#

some doofus there convinces everyone that they have to launch it at a higher price

hoary zodiac
#

oh lmao

devout forum
#

watch the XT be 850 bucks and just be a 7900 XT performance

idle nexus
#

so they can sell way less of them & make the reviews suck

mortal grail
#

For the 30th time

#

Lmao

idle nexus
#

then they'll lower it like $50 when the damage has already been done

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder if there's like

mortal grail
#

9070XT = 7900XTX

eternal fiber
#

MSI is especially bad, at least we can find some Asus prime, Gigabyte windforce and Pny msrp out there, MSI shadow is non-existent

icy ore
#

nah you got me looking tho damascus is gorgeous man

#

I’ve never been out of the US

eternal fiber

literally named shadow

hoary zodiac

any Damascus steel produced in Damascus these days

9070XT needs to be 7900XTX for like $500-$550

mortal grail
icy ore
#

Exactly what I want to see

devout forum
#

That will literally never happen

hoary zodiac
#

I'd visit it if it wasn't in Syria

sage sluice

@mortal grail send me your build again my friend told me they had no leg room and i wanted to show yours kekw

devout forum
#

Watch it start at 850

sage sluice
devout forum
#

and go down to like 750 in a year

idle nexus
#

unless it does RT considerably better than 7900XTX & FSR 8 or whatever they're on is really close to or on par with DLSS 17 or whatever they're on

Cus

icy ore
#

I hate that dlss is a necessity nowadays

idle nexus
#

noice but where's this one going? lol

hoary zodiac
#

dlss is a cope for game studios for not giving devs more time and resources

mortal grail
devout forum
#

Honestly if AMD actually makes the XT like 550-600 starting price I'd be so shocked I'd actually take a loan to buy it

icy ore
#

Man imagine if they put as much time and resources into it as they did prior to dlss

mortal grail
icy ore
#

How much better dlss would be

idle nexus
#

I hate that they stopped making big improvements in raster so they just changed the standard (DLSS, FSR, etc)

I need to rationalise here I'd pay 650 for a 4070 Ti Super

idle nexus
#

which crypto do I mine? people still use NBMiner? Trex? what's going on

mortal grail

Lmao

devout forum

US is literally a protected market for tech

hoary zodiac

is crypto going up?

#

what?

#

is mining viable?

idle nexus

lol I have no idea

but I can't rationalize GPU prices otherwise

devout forum

You cant mine bitcoin?

crypto mining's not profitable these days

oh but for real

anyone who used to mine

log into your old wallets

I lost one my crypto wallet

ahhaahhaha

💀

idle nexus
#

I'm like wait whaaa

#

in 2021 I didn't even bother converting this or 2022

whenever the fun ended

hoary zodiac

I'll find it one day if I even still have it

#

somewhere...

#

I probably don't

icy ore
#

Still do not understand mining

hoary zodiac
#

ok so

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

you're playing minecraft

#

in a cave looking or diamonds

mortal grail
idle nexus
#

they issue a certain amount of crypto or something

devout forum
#

I could take a new 7900 XT for like 850 bucks

idle nexus
#

& whoever guesses the encryption key gets to keep it

hoary zodiac
#

ninja and xqc and jake paul

mortal grail
idle nexus
#

so people band together in pools

devout forum
#

but the used 4080 is quite a bit faster

idle nexus
#

& have all their GPUs start guessing the encryption key

devout forum
#

tis an alternative

misty sparrow
hoary zodiac
#

I wonder

#

what if you have ONE quantum computer

#

mining crypto

idle nexus
#

since all the GPUs are helping, it's split based on how much work you put in based on your hashrate

#

over time

misty sparrow
hoary zodiac
#

just instantly exhaust the entire world's remaining crypto supply

idle nexus
#

so in theory, you could set up your GPU to mine by itself

#

& if you magically were able to find the encryption key, you'd get the whole thing

#

like 1 ETH or KPOW or whatever I forget by now

#

something about an octopus? I dunno

hoary zodiac
#

what

#

octopus game?

idle nexus
#

but the odds of you getting it by yourself are low, so you join a pool to increase them even tho you only get your proportion of the 1 ETH based on the total hashrate it took to unlock it

#

wasn't that the name of a crypto or something

#

it changed so much

#

one week it's like mine KPOW

#

ETH going down mine octopus

hoary zodiac
#

Something something fast vram

idle nexus
#

blah blah I'm confused

hoary zodiac
#

gddr6 go brr

idle nexus
#

it's funny cuz

#

mining crypto was probably the thing the RTX3070 was best at

hoary zodiac
#

didn't nvidia cap it?

idle nexus
#

like considering hashrate to wattage

#

they did but you could get like 75% or something of the hash rate without the limiter kicking in

hoary zodiac
#

that's during the gpu shortage too

#

so even if you paid inflated

#

your gpu can pay back itself

idle nexus
#

then someone at NBMiner or another mining thing figure out how to unlock LHR

hoary zodiac
#

I miss it when you could practically get a free gpu

#

good old days

idle nexus
#

ya it was awesome

#

I squandered it by using my 3060 to get a 3070 then using my 3070 to get a 3080ti

#

cuz I was stupid & impatient

hoary zodiac
#

why not use both

idle nexus
#

should've waited for 3090 oh well

#

oh ya I tried 3060 + 3070 on my 10900K system lol

#

it worked

#

but maaan it was a mess

hoary zodiac
#

what if

#

enthoo pro 2

#

think about it you can get a crap ton of gpus in that case

mortal grail
#

DUDE THAT CONTACT THO WTF

hoary zodiac

in a hypothetical 2021 scenario that is

That's like

I got one of those cheap risers off amazon

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

you only need x1

mortal grail
#

Paste print is super consistent

hoary zodiac
#

what if you mine with bifurcation

#

hmmmm

idle nexus
#

this was my record using that cheap crappy riser lmao

#

how many PCIe errors per second is 1.67 billion in 21 hours & 18 minutes? lmao

#

I was getting PCIe errors like the US Debt clock

devout forum
#

something like 21700/sec if my math is correct

#

assuming 1.67 billion is 1670000000

idle nexus
#

close enough it was like 1.676blah (see picture) lol

#

kinda crazy it even worked with that many errors

#

you only need like x4 or something for GPU to do mining tho

craggy shoal
#

@fresh timber do you prefer Ad Guard or Pi Hole and why?

idle nexus
#

I use adguard on mobile cuz it has a browser & Adguard player so I can avoid all YT ads

#

Pihole is good but I was slightly disappointed that I couldn't block ads in smartTV apps

#

I know that question wasn't for me but

#

lol

fresh timber
#

adguard has ab etter default adlist

wise wigeon
#

@mortal grail do you truly the rm850x is truly better than a decently performing 1000w like the c1000>

idle nexus
#

fair enough. I mean, you can for sure set it to 1:1 but most people don't get into the weeds like that

craggy shoal
#

I might host Ad Guard just to try it

fresh timber
#

i use tailscale

craggy shoal
#

Yeah same

fresh timber
#

so i just set my dns server in tailscale and have my subnet passthrough

idle nexus

you can add AdGuard's lists to Pihole from github

I have to link this vid just to conclude this. Here is active proof that 7200 is slower.

Let's test some low latency CL28 6000MHz (overclocked to 6200MHz) vs 4800MHz CL40, some other CL34 I have here and the top speed 7800MHz CL38, just how will this affect AM5 Ryzen 7 7800X3D Gaming Performance, and also Ryzen 9000 the Ryzen 5 9600X? Let's benchmark and test!

I said no that isn't how it works and got chastised

6200 vs 6400 is less than 1% and 7200 is slower than 7800

#

You gonna argue with me again or use the source to learn?

idle nexus

for me, 6200c28 was way faster on ycroncher than 8000c34. like not even close. the issue might've been that I have no idea where SCLs should be at 8k lol

I used to be able to run up to 60x all-core on some benchmarks & 58-59x on lighter ones

wise wigeon

i bet

idle nexus

I got it when it came out in like early 2023 or something

it's a hard knock life

the worst part is, I can't RMA it because I delidded it

well until I get some convincing glue at least

wise wigeon

is this the cracked one?

idle nexus

wym like 13/14th gen stability issues? ya it's in the group

AMD RX 9070 reference design not for sale The company has reinvited us today for the upcoming Radeon RX 9000 launch event, confirming one important detail. AMD has only once confirmed that there is something that looks like an official reference design. The so-called Made-By-AMD (MBA) design is usually only offered for a limited time […]

im glad all cores/clockspeed/instructions are all fine

lone mango

At first i was like finger but this is a good thing

wise wigeon

hope amd has that nvidia deal with aibs going where they are forced to have a msrp model

idle nexus
lone mango

Nah its good

idle nexus

oh nvm then

lol

lone mango

Amd wont be competing with board partners

Intel B580 has 20 compute units. Supposedly there's a 32 compute unit version. I hope they launch it lol

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

lets have some fun

proud jackal
#

Unless we have a monopoly

wise wigeon
#

having a ref model at least guarantees msrp models

idle nexus
#

for example, 5090 has no competition so you have to pay $8000 for it bundled with all the crap left on the Asus shelf cuz you can't get it anywhere else & they only made 56 of them

rancid juniper
wise wigeon
#

unless tey have a stipulation like nvidia's

rancid juniper

thats insane

nocturne flicker
idle nexus
lone mango
#

a fear people had was that amd was following novideos footsteps when it came to competing with board partners

#

but amd ref models were never as good as aib

fresh timber
#

id take a b580

lone mango
#

so i guess it was ok for amd ref cards to be made

wise wigeon

@mortal grail oi finish up that build we gotta split some heads in chiv 2

i mean in performance they are progressing fast

lone mango
fresh timber
idle nexus

they need to let Afterburner have access to their API too

wise wigeon

but issue is that they use a lot of space to get that performace

lone mango
fresh timber
#

nope

#

im staying windows

idle nexus
#

cuz Intel's OC thing is trash

wise wigeon
#

what xtu?

idle nexus
#

the GPU OC thing

#

my buddy says if the clock you set fail, you have to DDU & reinstall driver

wise wigeon
#

they couldn't bundle it together?

idle nexus
#

he has one so I assume that's accurate lol

#

they should integrate it

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

but ig keep a standalone for AMD CPU users

fresh timber

or rock the default one

idle nexus

I only run OneDrive on occasion

fresh timber

their default one seems wayy better than pihole

fresh timber
wise wigeon

cant believe ublock is ded

fresh timber

idk then, niche

lone mango

Hardware unboxed shows that there is quite some variance in performance when it comes to boards, even in gaming

lone mango
#

Higher price does not automatically mean better

wise wigeon
fresh timber
#

im just getting low on money

lone mango
#

Some boards are cheaper and outperform others

Asrock for example

wise wigeon
#

and what are you even doing on this pc that require more than a bare min board

fresh timber
lone mango
#

What price are you looking to buy at

fresh timber
#

im liking the a520m pahntom gaming for that 2nd pcie slot, easy slot for 10gig ccard or what ever if i ever do that

To be fair in the b450 eras boards were a bit more of a mixed bag

Nowadays they're surprisingly good for how cheap they can be

wise wigeon

Pff

that's the only one of the 10 million uninstalled apps that seems like it might've been the one lol

wise wigeon

i merely said that because you seem to blow up when you ask a question without using an @ so its hard to tell you you're talking to man

fresh timber

lone mango

Feels like a lot of the times you're paying for the plastic rather than actual quality
