And gpu

[frigid stag]

even for gaming it works

[fresh timber]

I forgot how powerful my 7700xt is compared to the 6600 until I was having a 140fps difference at 1440p

[frigid stag]

Ye 1440p is tough to run

[fresh timber]

I wanna get a b580 or something and a 5700x3d but money

What do yall do with your stock coolers? I have 3 of them and yeah

[pliant berry]

I think some of the workers here are crazy. Ive gotten some packages that are addressed to houses in completely different towns

[fresh timber]

That’s just incompetence

[pliant berry]

Yeah

Sometimes we have stacks of mail that was mistakenly sent to us

[fresh timber]

The worst I have to do is walk outside

Where I live all you gotta do is open a mf door, walk up 5 stairs and put it by my door

But noooo you out my mf cpu outside

Your so smart

[opaque sedge]

Pcmr is funny for no reason 💀

Also

Anakin moment

[fresh timber]

Wait till they find out theirs still good ones

Conviently the good ones went on their so that’s good

[opaque sedge]

You goddamn chatbot that aint enough effing information to calm my nerves

[frigid stag]

It’s ironic cuz most of them think if you’re not on the latest windows you’ll get a virus or something. Ignoring that most of malware is just user error causing it

Chances of being targeted specifically for the average person is so minimal it barely exists

[unreal trail]

I have a 1 tb in my Switch

[opaque sedge]

Guys if i stop waiting for the ups van will it come like waiting for stuff to load and buffer a decade ago

[frigid stag]

I remember when I paid this much for 128g

[dusk knot]

[wise wigeon]

Amazon has a major fake as card issue

I try to buy as cards in person if I can

[dusk knot]

Hm

[misty sparrow]

[dusk knot]

Too low for me.

[misty sparrow]

[dense locust]

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

[dusk knot]

[ancient swift]

Good luck lul

[misty sparrow]

probably going to be harder for you to get a 50 Series card compared to Sore trying to get a refurbished OLED Steam Deck

[dense locust]

I think I broke one of the cpu channel pins on my 2700x

[opaque sedge]

OMG ITS HERE FINALLY

[misty sparrow]

[opaque sedge]

Omg its beautiful

Guys should i put a screen protector first

[fresh timber]

Can it run Fortnite

[opaque sedge]

Or boot it up as is

[dense locust]

Technically it can

[misty sparrow]

yeah put a screen protector on first

[dense locust]

You just gotta install every Linux users worst nightmare

[misty sparrow]

i would NOT want to scratch that screen

[unreal trail]

can it run Skyrim

[craggy shoal]

Yoooo congratulations

[misty sparrow]

can it pay taxes?

[fresh timber]

Can it run Valorant

[opaque sedge]

Trying to apply the protector but noticed this tiny speck and its not coming off…

[fresh timber]

Return deck

[fresh timber]

But something good

[opaque sedge]

Could it be a factory defect

[misty sparrow]

well it IS a refurbished steam deck

you bought refurbished, not new

[opaque sedge]

Oh no i got a new one

[misty sparrow]

what

[opaque sedge]

Wasn’t able to grab the refurb

Got a 512gb new

[misty sparrow]

but all that time we spent talking about the refurb you got it new? thats a surprise

[opaque sedge]

It was sold out

Again

[misty sparrow]

you almost did get it

twice

[opaque sedge]

Nope when i got to the page that asked for payment

It would come up as out of stock

[opaque sedge]

What do u guys think? Should i return?

[pliant berry]

What is that? Dust?

[opaque sedge]

Dont know but it aint coming off

[velvet summit]

Contact steam support I guess

Probably won't affect the operation of the device though lmao

[pliant berry]

I don’t think something that small would be covered

[opaque sedge]

I could return it since i just got it

[fresh timber]

Make it bigger

[misty sparrow]

it could always be worse, anyway

could be like the Valve Index Controllers

[fresh timber]

Could have gotten a z1 non extreme

[worthy tapir]

[fresh timber]

umm

[worthy tapir]

What did you upgrade to?

[fresh timber]

5500

[worthy tapir]

Nice

[fresh timber]

now i have a spare am4 cpu

[worthy tapir]

My sister had the 2300x in her ibuypower and upgraded her to a 3600 similar performance and it was a nice difference

[misty sparrow]

use it to create a PC for your girlfriend

one that is really tiny and compact

[fresh timber]

wanna know whats funny

the bios would say IBUYPOWER before booting

i got this motherboard and cpu from a friend

[fresh timber]

i woudlnt wish this cpu on anybody

its really bad

[worthy tapir]

A320m?

[fresh timber]

how did u know

[worthy tapir]

Think it's same model she had lol

[fresh timber]

mines has a dead ram channel :/

so im going out today to deposit money into bank to buy new one

that system has 8gb ram in it and its um.. interesting and limiting

[worthy tapir]

Yeah hers came with 8. Swapped her to 2 x 16 3200mhz.

[opaque sedge]

Eh i think i’m gonna keep it

Will see in a week if it bothers me too much i’m gonna return

[fresh timber]

was it also 3000mt

[misty sparrow]

It is a relatively minor....thing so

[fresh timber]

i have two sticks from my friend ones 3000 and ones 3600, idk which one came with it

[opaque sedge]

Also setting it up rn and goddamn its comfortable to hold

Def not gonna get a bulky case

[misty sparrow]

sore

[fresh timber]

how i picked a new motherboard

lol

[misty sparrow]

dont know if you know but theres a bunch of cool steam deck stuff in the points shop

[fresh timber]

sort by cheapest and call it a day

[misty sparrow]

keyboard designs and startup videos

[fresh timber]

whoop

you think a 5700x3d could run in this

[opaque sedge]

I got a ton of points so i will take a look def

[fresh timber]

omg if i get this new motherboard i can use old one and really make girlfriend a pc

ill just be missing a gpu and ram

idk if she should suffer with a 500gb kingston a400

[misty sparrow]

i think you got some designs for your profile because you bought a steam deck, not sure though

[worthy tapir]

I'd love to get a steam deck but im going to hold out until they make a second one

[rancid juniper]

SICK

[balmy solstice]

bless you

[balmy solstice]

yes

with a bios update

[devout forum]

Yo apparently 5090 VRAM also fails

[balmy solstice]

5080 is the way

how is your day going black hole

[devout forum]

Late
About to sleep

[balmy solstice]

you should

[devout forum]

@gentle canyon Bro it got worse

Astral 5090 VRAM burnt to a crisp

[balmy solstice]

I wonder if it'll catch flames running pokemon red

[fresh timber]

More like the vrms

[balmy solstice]

oh

[devout forum]

How is it even possible to get worse after everything???

[balmy solstice]

nvidia rolled a nat 1 when building the 5090

now all their gpu's take permanent DOT

[devout forum]

Nah bro

They rolled a d20 to see how many dies they roll for stats
Rolled a nat20 on it

Then proceeded to roll a nat1 on every single one of them

[balmy solstice]

they did not pass that intellect check

[devout forum]

It's like rolling eight nat 1s in a row

[trail nest]

OK chat! I did it! I decided to get this 1tb ssd for my game storage! So it will load faster!!!

[dusk knot]

Nice

Those write speeds tho

🤔

[trail nest]

It's still an ssd

Better than hdd right?

[dusk knot]

True.

Ye

I was about to say that haha

[north crescent]

Sad new GDDR noises.
Prolly just needs some freq/timings tuning

[trail nest]

I have a 500gb ssd for my OS, a 2TB hdd for my personal files, and decided to get this 1tb ssd for my games that I don't have to install games to my 2tb hdd cause it loads slow as hell when I play final fantasy 16

[lone mango]

It coming with an adapter is pretty cool

No other brand did that before

[fresh timber]

im bored, ventoy usb time

[balmy solstice]

little by little

[fresh timber]

i donated one of my 512gb nvmes to my server to hae a good boot drive instead of a a400

[lone mango]

They dropped the bag this time

[fair onyx]

I get that this whole thing isn't really their fault, but even just a bit of an update would be nice by now

[pliant berry]

I hate isp routers, was trying to connect my old router as a bridge for more ports and wifi for my vr headset but it will just not cooperate

[fresh timber]

Wot

Which isp

[pliant berry]

verizon

can't get it to disable the dhcp and even if it did the wan port is stuck at 100mbps...

[fresh timber]

O

[fresh timber]

Slap your own router and just set it into switch/ap mode

[pliant berry]

well no that is what I am trying to do

my primary router is a UDM SE but I want this for just one room, using the antenna

[granite stirrup]

Can anyone explain this asus m.2_1 link mode genratioms

My power went of last night my pc detects all my drive but my nvme m.2s aren't an boot option in bios anymore

I'm about to give up on this pc I stglol

[pliant berry]

hmm, that's pretty common to happen. Can't say I remember what to do perhaps someone in #building-and-recc-chat knows

[granite stirrup]

I see the cpu thing for the pcie lane

The thing even me flashing my bios it's not am option for ,e

I'm never buying asus again...

[lone mango]

"good condition" "used, has some scratches and dangs from normal use"

Man where the hell was this thing used

If thats the case then I could sell my stuff marked as new

Oh its public laundry

That laptop was never used inside

[fresh timber]

Ugh I want stuff

But they don’t got what I want

[icy ore]

[velvet summit]

damn i really like my mouse
it works so well, and feels so much better in the hand than the walmart garbage i bought over half a decade ago

[dusk knot]

Hmm yes

[velvet summit]

should've upgraded sooner smh

[dusk knot]

There will always be something better..

[icy ore]

Which one did you get

[velvet summit]

though i guess the m6 wouldnt have existed if i upgraded the first time the walmart mouse randomly showed signs of dying (then revived itself before i decided to)

keychron m6

the mx master clone

[icy ore]

Ooo

https://www.amazon.com/LOFREE-Bluetooth-Connection-Rechargeable-Compatible/dp/B0CT9VX5ZM/ref=asc_df_B0CT9VX5ZM? this one looks cool

[velvet summit]

the people who complained about the scrollwheel were right thoug
it's quite audible lmfao

but in freespin mode, it's smooth as butter

and the scroll click feels smoother as well (compared to the cheap ass walmart "Gaming" mouse)

and the thumb wheel on the side has proven to be quite nice when im zoomed in to an image

[dusk knot]

Rip

[lone mango]

$180 5700u laptop too good to be true

Hahahaha wtf

Ok a 5625u for 225

this is more reasonable

[sinful blade]

$140 for a not-supported 580?

The hell?

[fresh timber]

Yup

[pliant berry]

why is vr such a pain

I've had this headset for 4 years and can't get the performance with a cable to any usable level

[icy ore]

[pliant berry]

why is my pc just bricking itself today

-_-

[misty sparrow]

what are you trying to do with your headset

[pliant berry]

play a game

any game

[misty sparrow]

through quest link?

[pliant berry]

no forget it, I just want to be able to see my desktop

[misty sparrow]

hm

[pliant berry]

I have not got it to work at all for the past 2 years. this is why vr hasn't really exploded. I probably spent around 200usd in cables, couple hundred hours in troubleshooting over the years and it is totally unusable with pc

[misty sparrow]

okay so Quest Link is completely terrible, it isn't a you problem

infamous for being bad

[pliant berry]

yeah it's not known for being very good. at least not recently. Steam Link can be decent but wifi isn't the strongest here

[misty sparrow]

well

those wifi streamers are independent of wifi speed

[pliant berry]

yeah

[misty sparrow]

normally i'd say get virtual desktop but that wifi problem is probably something that should be fixed first

[pliant berry]

I just have so many issues with everything, this is why I hate sitting down at my pc

[misty sparrow]

could be worse

[opaque sedge]

Yeah i might do moonlight i tried the steam link thats built in and couldn’t get it to work at all and when i did it lagged somewhat

[pliant berry]

https://tenor.com/view/jeremy-clarkson-top-gear-still-could-be-worse-richard-hammond-james-may-gif-2335331948908363786

[misty sparrow]

you could have a GPU that burns up like with the 5090s

could have no wifi at all

-# actually, i don't even know if you're using wifi or ethernet

[fresh timber]

moonlight can do higher bitrate and is opensource

[worn wave]

I hate using my quest 2 with my PC

[opaque sedge]

Ohhh

[worn wave]

it sucks

[opaque sedge]

Cuz i think i have decent internet

500mbps on wifi

[fresh timber]

wait

your pc isnt on ethenet?

dont game stream

[opaque sedge]

Unless i drill some holes nah

[opaque sedge]

Oh

So it was that

[misty sparrow]

yeah i use moonlight

you should get ethernet if you use moonlight

[fresh timber]

i use moonlight on ethernet

the limit for me would be moonlights 500mb cap and my encoder

[opaque sedge]

Ic

Shucks unless i move da pc into my living room cant do that

[misty sparrow]

what happens when you use Q2 with your pc? for me it's pretty fine, ethernet hooked up to a wifi6 router

[fresh timber]

if ur going from wifi pc to wifi steamdeck your latency will be all over

[opaque sedge]

Makes sense

Guys should i install elden ring on my deck

[misty sparrow]

it's verified so

why not

and it would probably look pretty with the oled

[opaque sedge]

Yeah imma go for it

I have limited storage rn cuz no sd card

[misty sparrow]

you have 512GB what else did you install on there

[fresh timber]

bro

[fresh timber]

sd cards are soo baddddd

my sd card was to slow for my wifi lmfao

[misty sparrow]

at least its better than having eMMC storage on Steam Deck

[fresh timber]

true

[misty sparrow]

cant believe they even offered a 64GB variant with eMMC

[fresh timber]

cheap

just upgrade it

[worn wave]

randomly disconnects, or doesn't want to connect in the first place, or the game crashes, also the compression can be pretty noticeable at times

[fresh timber]

are u on ethernet

[misty sparrow]

what did you use, quest link?

[worn wave]

Like i would almost prefer my old Rift S, ecept on that the screen door effect is pretty bad

[worn wave]

quest link with a USB cable

It's usb3.2 and the speed test shows it having more than enough bandwidth

[fresh timber]

they should make a quest with usb 4

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cillianmurphygun-cillianmurphy-jazmincoded-gif-3811002643797340103

honestly quest link is terrible

no human being should ever use it

[fresh timber]

doesnt the quest have better bitrate over wifi

lmfao

[worn wave]

I can't do wireless, my wifi sucks in my room

[fresh timber]

nah 3.2 seems fast enough

[fresh timber]

get a dedicated router in ur room like me

my wifi sucked until i did that

[misty sparrow]

so here's the thing, streaming Quest has nothing to do with wifi speed

[fresh timber]

yes it does

it has nothing to do with wan speed

[misty sparrow]

you just need to use ethernet to hook up to a dedicated router that has Wifi6 or higher in your room

and those things can be found for pretty cheap

[worn wave]

well it needs to go from headset -> router -> PC

[worn wave]

yes i could do this

But I'm just pissed that the official cable solution is so balls

[misty sparrow]

the official solutions for streaming are terrible

[craggy shoal]

Did somebody say balls?

[misty sparrow]

do you need to borrow some?

[craggy shoal]

Balls

[misty sparrow]

balls²

[fresh timber]

a good wifi 5 is acceptable too

could put an ap in your room in repeater mode and just use the wifi to haev good speed between headset and pc

[worn wave]

also the cable route from router - router would be terrible

router is downstairs and you'd have to go through like 5 rooms to get to it

I'll likely not be living with my parents for too much longer so I'm not gonna bother with a solution for now

[misty sparrow]

hm

even though it isnt recommended i just use a mesh router

no physical connection to actual router, but i plug my computer up to the one in my room and still get all my speeds consistently

[pliant berry]

Yeah im pretty sure I will never buy a vr headset if it does not have some kind of displayport connection

usb sucks

[worn wave]

I mean, in theory USBC thunderbolt is pretty much just as capable right?

[misty sparrow]

Good luck finding a cheap yet good headset that has DP

[pliant berry]

thunderbolt has dp in it's spec

[pliant berry]

yeah exactly

just a shame I have a vr catalog on my pc I can't even use. I'm pretty sure the link drivers have not been maintained at all

[worn wave]

once in a blue moon I get some big update on the app and headset that fixes 1/2 the issues. By the time the next update comes out I have accumulated more issues

[pliant berry]

that is the issues with software driver products

[icy ore]

Oh my god 💀

[fresh timber]

use 2nd rout as an ap

its perfectly normal for people to have multiply acces points in their home

i have two

[opaque sedge]

Guys i might sound crazy for asking this but

[fresh timber]

ur crazy

[opaque sedge]

Are there like gloves or anything for people with hyper sweaty hands that are thin enough to comfortably play games on a gamepad with

[worn wave]

I know they make little fingertip covers for gaming on touchscreens, i don't think they're for sweat though

[pliant berry]

most likely. I know they sell thin gloves that cover pinky and ring finger for people that use drawing tablets to reduce friction on the surface so I imagine someone made a full glove

[opaque sedge]

Fingertips are the least of my concern its the damn clammy palms

[opaque sedge]

Ironic ik given my name

[worn wave]

oh just get some fingerless gloves then

[opaque sedge]

Yeah think imma do that

[worn wave]

https://sweat-guard.com/products/fingerless-gloves-2-pairs-by-sweat-guard®
no clue if these are any good but they were the first result

Could also look into biking gloves, but they often have gel padding on the palm

[opaque sedge]

Was looking at biking gloves rn lol

[opaque sedge]

Has anyone rolled back their nvidia drivers here?

[hoary zodiac]

@opaque sedge rate my meat

[opaque sedge]

Did u buy… pre made patties

[hoary zodiac]

maybe

[opaque sedge]

You lazy piece of good for nothing

[hoary zodiac]

😭

[opaque sedge]

Jk if i make an argument abt laziness an argument abt grinding beef by yourself could be made as well

Would have appreciated a bit more effort tho

[hoary zodiac]

yeah maybe the next time I buy mince

this time uhh

basically my hot plate switch decided to game end itself

and I just went "screw it, we're having burgers for the next several days"

[crisp patio]

anyone know a website where i can estimate the performance id get on a game with my specs

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.youtube.com

Use multiple sources

I'd check benchmarks from Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[hoary zodiac]

Tom's hardware site too

[rancid juniper]

Tomshardware + Techpowerup

[hoary zodiac]

Unironically YouTube is one of the best sources

[crisp patio]

bet thank u guys

[hoary zodiac]

Or rather

Youtube contains some of the best sources

[crisp patio]

jus wanna see if i can play cyberpunk with 7900xt and 7800x3d

if itll be 30fps no point buying the game

[rancid juniper]

what resolution tho?
are you going to play it with RT off?

[crisp patio]

1440p, RT undecided but idm

[rancid juniper]

my 13600k + 7800xt can run cyberpunk over 60fps @ 1440p ultra without RT

if you want RT you'd have to go nvidia but even then that feature is quite taxing

[crisp patio]

ah thats good then, RT isnt really too necessary but would be nice

[rancid juniper]

alr

[crisp patio]

thanks bro

[lone mango]

The card looks like a video game item in that picture

[fresh timber]

What gpu should I save up to pair with the 2300x

[dense locust]

Gt 1030

[fresh timber]

3050? Okay bet

[dense locust]

Well it’ll probably do physx better than the 5090

[fresh timber]

1030 was a funny joke

[lone mango]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/135546036994?_skw=rx+550&epid=9056138016&itmmeta=01JMRH0BN9T1Z8GRYC25YWN1Y0&hash=item1f8f2c6302:g:bdEAAeSwR9RnqrKI&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fih2BjEiYT%2BYA8t3GSWSO9mNkP8QRUBFwHWuVyrEqNYKHUtubzqoCXWQ%2F2fz0UoZ4kvAvyU5u10STtwNs84ewuHBf%2FSVoSDJlhFX7gtFxfiYjdLpMVU2dOenZv9LTNv4SZPXIulsUKQe9k%2B41rLvSR7zc9v4axQptHqAtyH5b5AAxDZ8I4hT3f%2BAGuVio7RTzUx7w%2FEg7IMEt06F0R4XmGll4dgxUoo9syb3mmrgVNzQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-i6gZGmZQ

[fresh timber]

Mhh

[dense locust]

My joke but amd

[fresh timber]

I think I should upgrade the cpu

Another r5 5500

[dense locust]

5000 would be a good upgrade

[fresh timber]

Wanna know what’s funny

[dense locust]

The 5600x is 50% faster than my 2700x

[sinful blade]

Go for a 5700 @fresh timber

[fresh timber]

I just bought a 5500 to upgrade the 2300x, now I have another computer with a 2300x

[sinful blade]

OC it to 5700xt levels

[lone mango]

I think the 550 has more vram than the 1030

[sinful blade]

2GB vs 4

[dense locust]

I bought a 5080 to upgrade my 1070

[sinful blade]

My old 8500g was a 1030 in power, without the vram

[dense locust]

I bought a Samsung 2024 laptop with 128mb of vram

[sinful blade]

So imagine a 1030 with half the vram

[fresh timber]

I could go crazy and install a b570

and another 5500

[dense locust]

On that cpu?

[fresh timber]

Yuh

It’s insane I know

[dense locust]

Doesn’t the card do worse on older cpus

[fresh timber]

Yup

Leaves room for upgrade

[dense locust]

I think I broke one of the pins on my cpu now half my ram doesn’t show up on my bios

We gaming

With no dual data rate

We just doing data rate

[fresh timber]

Now that I have a b450 motherboard for my 5500 I can oc it

[dense locust]

Insane how a cpu I paid $300 for is now worth about $50

Time crawls forward making my pc be worthles

[fresh timber]

Idfk what I’m doing

[sweet phoenix]

Hear me out
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004128836437.html

[fresh timber]

Ima just change it to enabled

[sweet phoenix]

Or a 7500f if you want to swap mobo and ram too
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008073076500.html

[fresh timber]

You want me to spend more money

Stop sending good deals

[sweet phoenix]

I wasn't talking to you

Oh

[fresh timber]

I’m jealous

Smh

[sweet phoenix]

Mb

[fresh timber]

Did you see what I just did Mr Jeff

Shark

Thing

[sweet phoenix]

Wow I'm a thing

Smh

[fresh timber]

I revived a thought to be dead motherboard

[sweet phoenix]

Oh nice

[fresh timber]

Yeah your Jeff the shark

You don’t deserve rights

[sweet phoenix]

Oh

[fresh timber]

I hate your ultimate

I hate you

[sweet phoenix]

The US government doesn't seem to think i do either

[fresh timber]

Ughhh

[fresh timber]

I will fight the government for your rights

[dense locust]

I paid someone $50 to get this today

[sweet phoenix]

I have lord Jeff

[sweet phoenix]

Oh nice

[fresh timber]

Anyways sense the old board had a dead ram channel. And I ordered a new one…

[sweet phoenix]

Plat 2 i think?

[dense locust]

Funny how this 6 core cpu beats my 8 core

[fresh timber]

I guess I’ll have two motherboards that work

[fresh timber]

Wanna know what els beats you

Two of my pcs

[sweet phoenix]

Whats funny is a 6 core 9600x beats the 12900k

[sweet phoenix]

Which is what 18 core?

I lied 16 core

[fresh timber]

16

I’m a 12900k in gaming I think 😦

13600kf gng

[sweet phoenix]

Same

[dense locust]

We destroying intel with this one

[sweet phoenix]

9600x doesn't really beat it its more of an even match

[sweet phoenix]

13900k/14900k does exist tbf

But 7800x3d matches them, and 9800x3d far exceeds them

[sweet phoenix]

7600x3d comes very close too

[fresh timber]

Flip

I need to set fan curve

[sweet phoenix]

I just use some pliers and bend my fans manually

[dense locust]

I wonder if the 7800x3d beats my 1000xm4

[fresh timber]

Does it beat a 96core thread ripper

[lone mango]

Maybe

I don't like the 7600x3d

too limited

not much of a point to it

[dense locust]

Imagine a cpu beating a gpu

[lone mango]

2 of them

Still crazy tho

[hoary zodiac]

on paper it's good

however the price tag...

[lone mango]

Yeah

[hoary zodiac]

you might as well get a 5700X3D

or hell

[fresh timber]

O no

My nvme isn’t detected

[hoary zodiac]

save up for a 7800X3D

[fresh timber]

Please tell me this nvme slot isn’t broken

[hoary zodiac]

paying R7 price for a R5?

ehhh

[dense locust]

Or better yet
Save up for the 9950x3d

[hoary zodiac]

meh

depends on the use case

[dense locust]

Or buy a 7950x3d to game while you render

[lone mango]

That tag got some weight to it

[reef grove]

Hey stranger! Been good. Kinda same old same old. Hope all is well with you

[hoary zodiac]

not even ram?

that's a pretty crappy bundle ngl

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

the worst part about the R5 X3Ds is that

you're paying for 3D cache

but in reality you don't gain much

[velvet summit]

💀

[hoary zodiac]

like the advantages gained from 3D cache can be gained by buying say

a 7700X

[lone mango]

I think its because the cores are worse but you also get less cache

Considerably less cache

Its noticeably worse than the 7 counterpart

[hoary zodiac]

It would make sense

if it actually gave performance for how much more you're paying

[mortal grail]

Nice

[lone mango]

nvm this is not true

still tho

it just aint it

and throw in at least one stick of ram for that price like those other bundles

[fresh timber]

By default Msi motherboards don’t seem to activate the nvme wtf

And it still ain’t booting

[dense locust]

[fresh timber]

My head hurts just BOOT

[sweet phoenix]

Have you tried kicking it

[dense locust]

Have you tried booting from it

[fresh timber]

That’s what I’m.. doing

It keeps going back to bios

[velvet summit]

have you tried french kissing it

[fresh timber]

Nah

[dense locust]

Maybe the os is corrupt

[fresh timber]

I’ll kiss it one more time

[fresh timber]

It’s not

It will boot on every other computer

I checked

[dense locust]

Then it’s the computer time to throw it out

[lone mango]

When you spend as much as the 7700x bundle after dual channel memory

[sweet phoenix]

Real

[remote geode]

soooooooo

if you're getting a 50 series card and you wanna play old games with physx, you gotta have an accelerator card now, say. like a low profile 1050 just to get that physx action?

xd

[fresh timber]

I’m so confused

So the windows 11 installer sees the nvme

But I can’t mf boot off it

It already has windows in it just boot god dam

[gentle canyon]

how much of a bump is there from 7600 to 9600x

[remote geode]

from technical city

[remote geode]

iirc some systems might need an intel rst driver to boot on an nvme

i encounter them on laptops but idk on your case

[fresh timber]

Omg it booted

[sweet phoenix]

Under 5% in most games

[hoary zodiac]

Not worth paying for

To call it a bump is an exaggeration

[fresh timber]

the ram is a bit slow

but its fine

[lone mango]

3200 is pretty good

[remote geode]

if there is SDRAM

there must be HDRAM

[wise wigeon]

well no, if you want to play it with physx yeah its gonna run bad, turn physx off and you're fine. So you're playing it like anyone who had an AMD card. Its a pretty overblown situation but it sucks it happened.

[craggy shoal]

Not to mention my parents wouldn't be happy to hear the door knocking and the dogs barking 😭

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.amazon.com.au/DigitConvert-Selector-Computer-Peripheral-Keyboard/dp/B0CNCLQKMZ/

does this look like e-waste

or something actually usable

[craggy shoal]

I use one of those daily

Actually a UGreen one that’s USB 2.0

[hoary zodiac]

this brand specifically?

[craggy shoal]

Nah not that brand

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

[craggy shoal]

I got a USB 2.0 one because it was back when I barely made enough money so I had to decide "hmmm should I spend $10 more for USB 3.0?"

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.amazon.com.au/UGREEN-Computers-Peripheral-Switcher-One-Button/dp/B01N6GD9JO

this is double the price but at least it's from ugreen

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that one

Been lasting me for years. Best ~$25 I think I’ve made that’s also lasted this long

[hoary zodiac]

it's actually around $21 usd for this one

Ugreen products are generally solid

[wise wigeon]

kvms work between windows and mac?

[craggy shoal]

Sounds about right

[wise wigeon]

never used one before

[hoary zodiac]

it's a hardware switch

no software required

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that’s my exact setup

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I'm finding myself multitasking between two computers

[wise wigeon]

i like their cables

[hoary zodiac]

this way I could not only switch my mice

but also my keeb

[icy ore]

avowed is pretty fun

not bad

it's def one of those games where you're just chasing quests the entire time which i typically hate but i think the combat is pleasantly fun

[wise wigeon]

i'm already drained on money

considering the new build and god i still gotta buy wilds

[icy ore]

luckily on game pass

[dense locust]

I got it for free

from getting a $900 monitor

[remote geode]

definitely ur getting ur moneys worth

https://tenor.com/view/fuyo-cloverfield-vtuber-idol-en-gif-27126810

[wise wigeon]

think i have game pass money?

[peak heart]

Broke my 13 pro max screen
Original cost $450 + labour, any alternative?

[sweet phoenix]

I just saw an iPhone 15 refurb for $500 yesterday

I think the sale ended, but there's 100% better options out there

[wise wigeon]

where are you in the world?

[sweet phoenix]

http://electronics.woot.com/plus/grade-a-phones-watches

$500 iPhone 15 among other options on there

Samsung/google would still have better choices but I imagine you're against non IOS

[wise wigeon]

and if you're in the states and ok with second hand swappa

[sweet phoenix]

^

Hell there's a $370 iphone 13

Cheaper than your screen repair lmao

[wise wigeon]

plus for hairline scratches just putting a tempered glass protector effectively hides them

[peak heart]

Hahaa😭

[wise wigeon]

its apple man

they make it outrageous so you buy something new

[peak heart]

Apple lately 📉📉📉

[wise wigeon]

lately?

[sweet phoenix]

I'm telling you

Invest in a good screen protector and case

[wise wigeon]

this

[wraith fern]

recently yea but its been goin back up

[sweet phoenix]

I had a solid one for like $10 but it broke, decided to use a cheap one i had that didn't shield the screen well and now have a cracked s23

[wise wigeon]

screenprotectors are so cheap

[sweet phoenix]

Not paying the money to repair it, since it's not bad

But I now have a much better case on it

And I'll now have a cracked screen until I upgrade phones

[wise wigeon]

people who bareback their phones scare me man

[peak heart]

Wtf i go through marketplace all day and get a dead (or locked) 13 max with working screen (if any chances) and replace its screen

[sweet phoenix]

Why

[wise wigeon]

i mean are you confident in yourself?

[sweet phoenix]

.

[remote geode]

if an iphone is being sold second hand locked its probably stolen

[sweet phoenix]

At that point just get one of the cheaper phones on there

[wise wigeon]

those ribbon cables are sensitive

[remote geode]

and depending on your country you might be liable to criminal charges

[peak heart]

I would rather go for a new one if that's the case

[sweet phoenix]

Hell $200 iphone 12 mini

[sweet phoenix]

I mean you do you but they have warranty

[remote geode]

?

[wise wigeon]

?

Did i miss something or are those replying to me

[wise wigeon]

deleted it

[sweet phoenix]

Mm

[wise wigeon]

anyway like

[sweet phoenix]

$400 pixel 7 pro

[wise wigeon]

if you wanna buy a new one go ahead i guess

[sweet phoenix]

$330 s22 ultra

[wise wigeon]

your money

[wise wigeon]

seems like a bit much for a 3 year old phone

did samsung resell go up?

[sweet phoenix]

I've no clue

I'm only looking at woot idk phone pricing

Phones and tablets I know next to nothing abt

[wise wigeon]

i mean check apple refurbished too

[sweet phoenix]

How's a $155 s21 fe

https://sellout.woot.com/offers/samsung-galaxy-s21-fe-5g-refurbished-open-box-2

[wise wigeon]

not as cheap as woot but they're probably pretty competently refurbished

fe is the fan edition

same soc as the 21 iirc but it drops some features

[sweet phoenix]

Homelander can check if he feels like it

[wise wigeon]

much more expeinsive

[sweet phoenix]

$350 iphone 14

[wise wigeon]

but you get apple 1 year warranty

[sweet phoenix]

https://electronics.woot.com/offers/apple-iphone-14-grade-a-refurbished-7

[wise wigeon]

man i was hoping for a se 4 ngl

16e is rather expensive

then again msrp for se was like 430

an extra -50 dip woulda made it nicer for the features you lose

[misty sparrow]

They need to make more phones with the same size as the mini

hell, even more Mini phones

perfect size for your hands, can reach top and bottom with your thumb

[fresh timber]

Mhh

[wise wigeon]

why am i looking at psus again

why am i like this

[elfin mural]

i got this phone myself

it's great, but loves to run warm

battery life is not stellar on 5g

[wise wigeon]

sd chips be a bit toasty

[elfin mural]

i have the exynos variant, but the sd 888 runs hot too

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/chwmP6/enermax-revolution-df-x-1650-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ert1650ewt

Pretty reasonable

[elfin mural]

however im sure 5g on battery would run better on the snapdragon tho lol

[sweet phoenix]

This is either a or b tier I forget which

[elfin mural]

android 16 beta 1 is already out and samsung hasn't released android 15 to its phones

[sweet phoenix]

ITS SUNDAY

NEW ONE PIECE CHAPTER TODAY

[elfin mural]

https://videocardz.com/newz/first-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-discovered-with-reduced-rop-count-88-instead-of-96

fun

5070ti affected too

loss of up to 4% perf is not okay, nvidia

[wise wigeon]

i'm just being indecisive again

the 850 is prob fine its just 1000w is rught there and people are like omg juicier psu helped my coil whine

jesus

i'm just a big ol baby when it comes to coil whine and going overkill on things like power supplies

[elfin mural]

we got ray tracing in gta v before gta 6

and upscaling

dlss, xess, fsr

[wise wigeon]

if only corsair wasnt so damn expensive

a 50 dollar difference to get the rm1000x is nuts

[dense locust]

I have the rm1000x and I felt it in my souls when I bought it

[fresh timber]

4%

Wow

[dense locust]

missing 8%
4% performance loss

Still it is a hardware defect

[wise wigeon]

like i know my rm850x is fine its just the extra reassurance

but the rm1000x is 189 rn

[dense locust]

Yeah

And it’s sold out most places too

[wise wigeon]

ah no i can just drop by my best buy and get one

[dense locust]

There was only 2 at my bb

Sold out on Newegg tho

[wise wigeon]

i'm in orlando

its a best buy dense area

[dense locust]

Yet theres still no 5090s

[wise wigeon]

but yeah like

i'm totally fine spending the extra 50 bucks but

[dense locust]

Anyways Apparently the 5080 is the full chip but the 5070ti is a cut down 5080

[wise wigeon]

because other nice 1000w + cable extensions are acombine around 160-170
