You could boot up a 15 year old game and it’ll just run
there's a quote from GN's latest video
think i got my brother's xfx 6800 for like 360
about that
people used to buy nvidia because they were the "just works" option
I ordered the new tmr joystick controller but missed the batch that had next day shipping 💀 had i ordered an hour earlier i would have had it in my hands today
Apart from no physx they’re fine
uh
My favourite comment of this launch "Nvidia could burn your house down at this point and people will still never pick AMD"
how nice of them to provide warmth in a time like this
I can bet u half my bank account I can buy a 5080 rn and it would be fine without any issues
Coldest summers on record over here, good timing
Aside from no physx obv but I can deal with that. I can run a 2nd gpu
or just turn it off
do it then
but no we're talking blackscreen and rops issues mostly
Like probably? But don't doubt the problem with 12v 2x6 as a spec potentially running 15A down one of your cable strands
I play older games sometimes but haven’t needed physx in any of them in years
Last physx game I played was probably 9 years ago
It’s overblown like most things
we gotta see how well this ages with the new nitro plus
I'm interested to see how they did it
I mean I can pre order one for non extortionate prices so
Alright I'll take that bet
Imagine AMD did proper balancing
Cuz nGreedAI is outright scarcity market
It takes a month to arrive though so that’s nice
only xtx that had a 16 pin last time was the creator from asrock iirc
I’ll probably forget I ordered one by the time it arrives
The GPUs exist
But it makes more money for nvidia if you can't buy it
I might take a look at it tbh
you wanna nab a blower card?
lucky
if i could get a 70 ti for 750-800 i would but thats not in the cards rn
Well it’s arriving 1 month later so it makes sense why it’s cheaper than usual prices
not the case for everything
If I were to get one right now as in next day delivery I’d probably need to pay at least 1500 to 1600
i mean i been waiting 2+ weeks on this xtx
😦
@mortal grail bruh
i cant believe they started that promotion literally the day after amazon charged me
apparently GN talked to amd people and they have no idea how to price the cards
HOWWWW
you've had 2 months
Yes I reinstalled newest drivers for it
Nah not buying a 3rd lol
how is it a day or 2 bfore announcement ya'll still dunno what price you want
Throwback to 7600 when mid-review they kept changing the price until the last couple hours
if they fumble again i won't be surprised
but like its the fumble of the decade at least
Mentioned this before
If they slip up this time, that's it
I don't think they'll give us another gen
$2.84

What about now
Now I want $4,985.99
still cheaper than the bucket
Lol
It is done
lol
i forgot about that
lisa save us please
lisa is jensen's cousin lets see if it runs in the family
silicon valley habsburgs
you never know

They're probably closer to the Hohenzollerns tbh
Or the Bourbons
Actually Bourbon would be a perfect fit
no ROPs? just get a RTX 5090
I'd say he's referring to the stagnation of that period
4c/8t
that's just my interpretation tho
Intel 2016 was when Intel was sitting around doing nothing, allowing AMD to cook up a big comeback swing
kaby lake moment
is that when ryzen launched
Yes
Well, Ryzen launched March of 2017
Coffee lake Q4 of 17
Kaby lake was Q1 of 17
I wonder what would've prompted that coffee lake launch hmmm
khaby lame
14nm+++++++++ era
Funny how ryzen was like 4 gens behind intel
Was getting gapped by 22nm 
3770K go brrr
Ryzen was 4 gens behind Intel because that is basically where they left off with FX 
fx 8350 ftw fym
Ryzen being 4 gens behind still posed enough of a threat for coffee lake to become a thing
The environment naturally favored AMD. Because everyone was annoyed with Intel and AMD coming back was an underdog fighting back against the titan
I mean if you needed a cheap workstation cpu then ye
but it was good enough to catch people's attention
1800x was much cheaper than 6900k
It basically was. They were so much worse for gaming
I remember zen being quite popular with streamers
But techtubers just spammed 1440p/ ultra settings benchmarks to show how “small” of a difference it was
Even then the difference was pretty large, took them a while to find a use for it
They were cheap for Black Friday sales at least
I think you are exaggerating on how bad ryzen actually was
Early ryzen was that bad
Zen 2 was ok and then from there they’re fine
zen 3 and up are decent
you're making it sound like that the only thing propping up ryzen was fake numbers
define most people
Games were heavily single core
Most people still don’t use 8 cores let alone 7 years ago
because they didn't have 8 cores
Ye so why does it matter for them
Like what’s the goal of having 8 much slower cores for a task that needs fast single core
It was an improvement from fx 100% but I don’t think they were worth buying personally
I think you're missing the entire point
the point is that it was a disruptive product
they gained market share because they made something that consumers wanted
simple as that
it wasn't a marketing conspiracy
they made a good product
Ye that’s where I disagree on the last part
you can argue about specs and real performance all you want
let's agree to disagree
Sure
I’m not a fanboy of either btw, I’m actually a fan of the 9800x3d
It’s a solid option
Oh
same with nvidia and intel for that matter
They make good CPU’s now at least they’re available
I just don't agree with what you said
At the time 1600af was amazing value for gaming and for a platform that lives on to this day
I’ve tried a zen + pc and almost everyone who I know that did said the same thing when they upgraded
Early ryzen still has a lot to offer
sample size?
Once new generations came in, yea
again that's not the point
the point wasn't raw performance
they had no chance of going up against intel head on
Where your average fps was high but the 1% lows would dip so hard
the point was to create a disruptive product
that would appeal to the mass consumer
zen and zen + was extremely successful in that case
I mean for it to be disruptive it either has to be price or marketing
But Ryzen was very competitive for the time, especially compared to pre-ryzen AMD, the market share increase was huge
you can argue about gaming performance all you want
Or some special feature
but that's not the entire story
and even then the am4 platform has a lot of benefits
like say
Ryzen was disruptive with a long lasting platform, high core counts, and cheap price
overclocking on B boards
Well yeah in the long term you could get more out of it
I'm trying not to include hindsight
but even in 2017 there were a lot of benefits of going ryzen
again
gamers are not the entire market
I mean they were decent for multi core especially at the price
Hindsight says 9 years on, am4 still lives
Intel didn't have anything that could compare to 1600af at that time
Or 3100/3300x
Yea it just took 4 years to get the same performance you could’ve had in 2018 with ☕ lake
The near and sub $100 CPU option
here's the thing
With a ddr4 platform
you could not get a 6c/12t for that cheap
9100f+board and 8350k+board were more expensive
9100f is stretching it
Especially with how cheap you could get a320 boards
that's getting close to zen 2
We're in the range of iirc $75 for 1600af and ~$60 for an a320 board, brand new
It wasn't something you could do with Intel without going used
All of the lga1151v2 boards were $80+
again
They weren't that bad for gaming. The 1600x was rather close to the 7600k. The biggest reason why 4 gens behind Intel was a thing was not because Zen 1 was really bad, it is because the stagnation of Intel and OC potential for the older higher end chips was really good
here's the thing
computers aren't solely for gaming
let's say you're a twitch streamer
or a 3D modeller
It wasn't just appeared good, they were competitive where Intel didn't offer anything at that price
There weren't any z370 boards as cheap as a320 boards
narrowing ryzen down to poor performance in gaming does it a massive disservice
Again, that's not $60
Zen 1 big issue was the imc just couldn't do anything really
Zen + at least 3200 worked
Zen+ was competitive for being cheaper and offering equivalent workstation performance for significantly cheaper
Gaming wise Zen+ was just cheaper but behind
exactly
you can't measure ryzen by gaming performance alone
that's a terrible metric
Problem with Intel at the time for low end was non-Z boards locking memory frequency which kinda took away their advantage
Do I grab a used 4090 FE for 2k plus tax?
you can't say that ryzen is a garbage product because it didn't offer good gaming performance
A320 limit was 3200 iirc
that ignores the entire purpose of ryzen
Intel anything before b560 was 2400/2600 iirc
It was i3/i5 got 2400, i7/i9 get 2666 on most of them
3200c16 was the standard way before that
There was also the 3000c15 aegis kit back then that was popular
I think that's got more to do with ram pricing than anything
I paid like $70 for 2x8 3200c16 iirc
Late 2018 or so, I'll have to check when my order was
there was a ram shortage?
It was under supply
Prices were high but I would not call it a shortage like anything we've seen since
Afaik global
Was like Samsung hynix and co underestimated demand for a bit
Honestly not really
It was like $60 or so for EVGA BR
$70 for CX
isn't that bomb tier
or near bomb tier
Granted it was 550w but that was also before 30xx power draw became an issue
true
Nah D tier iirc, more than usable for low end
make sure you use a 2018 list
It was back during the LTT forum tier list not the cultist tier list
2023 list probably isn't accurate
LTT forum tiers are different from cultist tiers
It'll only explode in the future
older models were more usable back then
Low priority C tier, more than usable :p

a s12iii would've been a decent budget psu back then
today it's probably a bomb
thermaltake
I hated s12iii from the beginning lol
Where's the newest PSU list
I know s12iii was one tier below br
None updated from cultists, ztt people are trying to make a separate one
at least for 2018
Whole brand F tiers are generally lying in advertising and lying in reviewer samples so there's no way to tell what piece of crap you get
Iirc gamemax sent different samples for 80+ verification than what was shipped to consumers
wait why are people saying linux is better than w11
I mean the problem that put gamemax into F tier is pre-2021, I don't keep track with what has happened since
it's a crappy product
you have to pay money for windows
and your data is monetised too
with all that money
I thought it was a free upgrade, im still on w10 lol
and they still can't deliver a good consumer experience
w11 is pretty crap
in fact
it just broke itself randomly trying to force an update
there are documented cases where games on linux run better than on windows 11
Just had to reinstall it
and yeah, linux with proton compatibility supports a lot more games now
it should not be in the state it is
It's a problem with the credibility of the company, they can't trust gamemax after it came out reviewer samples were different from what was sent to consumers iirc
If you can't ensure what product is sent out to customers, that's all that matters to the consumer
Upgrade to get more intrusive advertising and more intrusive data collection :)
doesn't matter if someones copying your brand
I'd say even a bloated 7 install is usable
at least more usable than a bloated 11 install
win 10 you can probably get by
maybe...
I've also seen people could pirate LTSC for windows 10 to allow a further security support past the due date
I hate what we've made this world
i will run on w10 until my pc just doesnt work unless i go to w11
Debloated w11 is fine for now but who knows what Microsoft will add next
LTSC is not the same as normal windows
Why only record your screen when they can record your voice at all times or smth
the problem is charging people money for the OS, directly or indirectly through OEMs, then MONETISING their data, and deliver a crappy product at the same time
same, it jus sucks that new motherboards dont allow wireless wifi components
missing a few consumer features and games might need extra installations to work
people are willing to jump into the linux rabbit hole because they're sick of microsoft's crap
I'll jus keep running ethernet tho
And gets much slower updates than general release
yeah w11 got so many bloated background running programs it'll be so much slower in the future
there is so much bloat that you can just uninstall with revo
despite the fact that for a lot of games you have to run a compatibility layer
it's like, 5-6 random microsoft apps
like
it's not just the bloat
it's the bloat and the data collection and the os just being annoying to use in general
oh and it's unstable too
data collection and instability for sure
but I mean, it has things that just don't even need to be there
I had a dual boot linux and win 10 install for the longest time
now I don't bother anymore with 11
it's more hassle than running a windows vm
More people would use Linux if they knew what it even was 
They probably think it’s some hacker os
I mean
a lot of academics at my uni use linux
that says a lot
especially for institutions that's been traditionally entrenched in windows
I mean it’s not that hard to pick up as a beginner
As long as you’re semi savvy with windows
I'm more talking about using linux professionally
Ye it’s much more popular there
Just do about an hour of searching and you'll probably find the solution you're looking for
Most servers and things run on Linux I’d assume
it's a lot more difficult to use linux in a professional environment
than just using it personally
90% of server things run on linux
Can do more with it though
yes but however
the internet relies on linux
a lot of applications are windows exclusive
especially with science and engineering
Wonder how much market share % windows server has compared to Linux
it's gotten a lot better recently
Ah
which has in turn helped linux adoption
I'd say linux adoption has surged in the past couple years
line that up with the launch of windows versions
Can't wait till SteamOS officially releases
maybe there's a pattern
Technically there is bazzite
I'd say it's more
microsoft greed
windows itself isn't bad
the NT kernel is decent
it's what microsoft decides to put on it
like windows is a great platform
if microsoft actually did something with it
depends
some "normies" never used a pc
or are mac users
in that case linux is possibly as easy to learn as windows
nah
windows is just the de facto standard
They want you to use crappy w11
a lot of infrastructure runs on windows
So they have more data to sell
i mean technically if you have a decent anti virus and stay away from malicious sites W10 will be the ultimate home instead of being forced to migrate
In theory it should be fine
Until there's a critical vulnerability that is like kernel level or something
my downloads have changed since I was a young one
I used to download those roblox exploits on my old laptop which had malicious items lol
but now that i'm older I stayed away from allat
yeah don't download Star_Wars_Ep7_x264.BDRip.moviedealer.mp4
stuff like that you could easily find on a 3rd party website
jus avoid zip files
torrents are a lil skeptical
Window was committed to make everyone hate windows 8
ok
Just try downloading a Minecraft mod
I’ve never had any more sketchy sites than I did when looking up anything relating to Minecraft modding
I’m glad we got actual modding hosting sites now



you right tho fr
Dude what is he doing on that black screen
😭
Firefox focus goes too hard
adblock
Firefox mobile is the only one that can install addons as far as I know
The screen: sudo rm -fr /*
Also the FBI literally reccomends you use an adblock
Ive actually never used it
i love firefox
That does not look like official minecraft forums lmao
I can watch youtube without ads, no paying for premium haha
nurse joy is pretty tonight
that minimap goes hard
that's crazy it looks like that
From my memory ios cant enable add ons w firefox
fr, i spent 3 days making a mod pack with my friends, we like to add more stuff every once and a while
today we added like 10 more mods
Nurse joy awakening a sleeping bear in me
i wanna get a dedicated server for this but self hosting is fine, i got a server for a reason
On ios you cant have multiple tabs open but on android you can
Its weird
But since you can have multiple tabs open on android it was my main browser
Firefox focus is basically private browsing but with some more hardening
Look at what you just told me

Anyone notice this year that manufactures of electric clothing dryers are no longer listing if dryer is 110v or 220v? Did some kind of set standard take place?
I consistently reach 100+
Everytime i close tabs
I dont understand
I somehow open over a hundred in days
I have no clue
I have never bought one before

It already kills me when monitors like hide their panel type in the deepest darkest pits of hell
And the finishing blow is va
Hey if its miniled va ill tolerate it
Least I didn't buy a new dryer and find out the hard way. Unlike 2023 where I bought all new parts for 3 gaming server systems, each in a $300 glass case, and got suprised when the Blu-ray tray kept trying to come out and hit the front glass panel, and stood looking at it 10 minutes before I realized most cases don't fit DVD players anymore 😳
Unironically just buy like a PS3 for a dvd player
Had to jury rig all 3 systems to use sata. For some reason, using USB was causing some old game titles copy protection to kick in and not run the game. Old origin cds for one that ran off the cd.
You'll laugh. I spent 3 hours+ jury rigging all 3 new systems, to find out a week later that the monitors had a blu-ray player built in them.
🥹
Not a waste of time though. Those $129+ anime rpgs sold in boxes come with dvds and USB. But dvds seem faster.
I bought a disk drive specifically to read PS3 discs 
How you didn’t have one already is kinda concerning 
You need a specific model to read and dump PS3 discs on PC
I don't know about PS3, but I do have PS1 titles like Lunar I &II and the emulator plays them flawlessly. Better than the ps1, and I can cheat easily now. Hated having to rely on game shark codes when I can just use a memory editor and make my own changes.
Im addicted to cobblfmon
There are about 53 blu-ray disk drive models capable of dumping PS3 disks
Some of them are not sold anymore and some on have specific revisions capable of it
Oh, I also own a lot of PS2 RPGs. My two favorites are wild arms 2 & 3
Can't recall if I ever tried to run a ps2 game on my pc.
When my bulky TV died, found out the ps1 and ps2 won't work on my flat screens. Bought a switch, but didn't help.
PS2 disks are unencrypted so any drive can dump the games
Never got back to it because I kinda get distracted and got caught up making plug-ins for Starbound and Ultima Online emulator.
That's good to know. Any good emulator? Or if that's a nono, forget I asked.
PCSX2 is the best and pretty much the only one
I also got caught up promoting multi player games for a bunch of titles. Kinda funny how I left that line of work, which was promoting Ultima Online for EA, then years later my kids got into gaming and somehow they pulled me back in.
I think there is like, one other for PC and one for mobile
Have you ever seen the Steam Deck? I own one but use the Linux it came with. Some choose windows, but I prefer using what it came with, in case of issues.
I'm not a handheld computer guy, but iirc PCSX2 also works on the Steam Deck
Nintendo switch also works on steam deck so I think it can handle ps2 just fine
Switch titles I don't like messaging with. Each of my kids and my wife own one, and several incidents scared me into not trying. Year after it was out, someone used a game shark type device on a single player game rental. It resulted in their deck getting locked and banned. Once they returned it, the next renter used the game and it resulted in their deck getting locked out as well, and his children's as well that were linked. Nintendo is not to friendly when the switch is concerned. My Nintendo 3dxl I could care less about though heh.
Rune Factory titles are my favorites. I got them on Steam as well, though game play on the deck is annoying. My windows pc runs them better.
Sorry. I'm saying before I started talking about the 3dxl, is that all my familys switch games I wouldn't risk trying to play on my steam deck, because I'm worried of triggering a Nintendo ban on the games and my familys Switch systems. We own both Nintendo switches and Steam Decks, though I slip up sometimes and all my Steam deck, a Steam Switch lol
This really doesn't help my migraine 😕
Emulated games couldn’t even attempt to connect to the internet
The only way to try to even get banned by Nintendo is by using the mig switch to play a copy of a game at the same time as another switch and go online
Also mod chip but that should be obvious
I don't play the Nintendo switch like rest of family so don't know much. If you wanted to cheat on a legal multi-player game, that I can do with my eyes closed. Legal meaning the person who is hosting says it's OK. I don't make them for games like TF2 and now a days only make plug-ins on Steam Workshop. Got tired of people yelling at me they got banned when my utilities clearly have check agreements before running, only to use on title it's made for. I'm on steam under same name so all my workshop titles are listed, though not updated in a year. Kinda got burned out for a while.
.
I made a lot doing repairs back in the days on the ps2 and wii systems, from people who failed moding and knocked off surface mounts in the process. Can't do that now. Half blind.
👍
Ran a BBS in the 80s, first on a C128d, then Amiga C-Net. Called it Video Game Mansion. I almost put one up on my PC 7 years ago, but person who took over, kept running into issues and didn't have the code for 2.0.
Yeah you can emulate gt4 on mobile
Pretty cool
No salt will be taken
That kind of perf has been shown a good bit so you can assume at this point that it will be at that level
Bigger thing is price. I still think its gonna be 650 but real world price may be higher
I lowkey might get a 9060 xt
12 gb vram 
Great
That's honestly not awful
It's still 50-100 bucks more than it really should be to ACTUALLY win major market share
I mean if it’s the same leak a bit means $699
I’m hoping the ones I. The right are placeholders
That's so ass
Anything over 700 for XT is bad value
Especially when in some cases a 7800 XT beats the 9070 XT
If they priced the 9070 like the 7700 XT was
They'd be massively winning rn
Thought the general performance was 7900xt to xtx tier
But instead they managed to fumble even when every star aligns
For the XT
9070 is GRE tier iirc
And it costs like the same the GRE went for
It's stagnation in it's purest form
AMD seems like they truly can fumble any GPU launch even when they're literally offered a win on a silver platter
I hope it’s not a complete fumble
But considering AMD is asking YouTubers about prices
And still doesn’t have a concrete one after a 2 month delay
Yeah it's an absolute fumble
Is like disheartening
I have zero doubts that they will fumble now
At this point I am convinced this is another fumble
9070 red devil costing 1099 is WILD
Ikr???
It's stagnation in it's purest form
Unless you can OC the XT to beat a 4080
That's just craptastic
If the general street price of a xt bleeds into 850-900
100% will
it will
It's just inevitable now
the asrock cards will run outta stock
Ray tracing isnt likely to be like 40% better
Ironically if AMD actually cared they'd have lowered MSRP by 200-250
And you lose 8 gb vram
the msrp priced cards
Then they'd get GLOWING reviews even if the prices are actually like 650-700 bucks
well
I mean hub thought 550 was reasonable
let's just wait until amd realizes they have fumbled and barely get any sales
because the 5070ti got a chokehold on it
For current market
But an MSRP of 700 means street price of 900
And at 900 the XT is practically a waste of silicon to me
In general it’s a worse value than a msrp 70 ti
AMD as a whole is cooked
At this point, there's no hope left
Single-digit market share come here
Like I’m ok with the xtx but if I’m able to get like a 70 ti at msrp to 800 I’m willing to return
no one cares about radeon if it costs the same as its competitor
more vram? sure, good, but they will buy nvidia regardless
It's joever
Not even though
compared to 5070ti i think
Radeon is done for
Ti has 16
...oh
Ok doomposting is crazy
it's over
what about when there's a surplus vs a shortage when it comes to Radeon and nvidia
so over
well, a supposed self created shortage
amd knows they can get away with this shortage thing
Just means they get early sales but when stock normalizes they’ll get overtaken
AMD managed to somehow screw up so monumentally that there's nothing short it nGreedAI getting slapped with a billions-large class action over the 50 series to save AMDone
It's legitimately impressive how big a fumble this is
people will happy pay the extra $50 to get the nvidia
AMD has to shave off another $50 in discounts in the first three months
First 3 months
50 bucks over 3 months is nothing
50 bucks in the first month MIGHT make a difference
An almost 20% discount so soon is gonna piss off aibs
Are we doomposting again
i don't think amd is done

it's just gonna be a moment for amd to go
They’re going kinda crazy with the doom posting
"oh! let's dump the prices!"
AMD is doing the same thing again tho
which is a great thing
just funny lol
they just need to chop the 9070 and come up with a better gpu. we know they can
Let’s just wait a day and see if they took any feedback from creators
wait a few months and prices will be what we want
Way too high launch prices leading to middling reviews meaning nobody will care to buy them anyway
if it had 20gb vram or more, it'd be worth buying
It's 16
xtx was eeeehhh value at launch
yeah that's what I'm saying
Arguably a regression
Have fun guys I'm going to watch a movie
Like the 7900xt at 900
sales made it good to buy
maybe
It was fine
damn, bought mine last year for 699
fine is the right word to put it
It was $200 cheaper than its competitor
I no longer believe AMD actually intends to make competition
9070 series was literally getting a win offered on a silver platter
And AMD somehow manages to turn it into a disappointment
Yeah it was only 100 dollars cheaper than the xtx
just bag chasing tactics
So you sell a significantly inferior product at prices that don't reflect that inferiority while also not having the market share to have leverage?
so is intel and nvidia really
I shoulda probably got an xtx but it was my first pc build 
That just sounds like trying to kill a company
The 7900xt was def priced that way to incentivize spending the extra 100 for the xtx
yes, but there's the option of price dumping
it's always worked for amd
wonder if Microsoft will start making gpu's
Imagine if Microsoft buys Radeon
They can barely get any hardware right
We don’t need Microsoft to make gpus
it's something called pushing the envelope then dialing it back
not good long term
but it is reality
They about to ask us to upgrade while we install drivers
Imagine it being called Macrohard
It’s why they lose every generation
:3
Microsoft Office vs Macrohard Onfire
Like I genuinely dunno how they lost the ps3 generation
with this treasure I summon 🫰 majorana
hand
the rrod issues did not help
Anyway let’s hope Asus took the hint on the 1 k 70 it’s
they put all their budget into halo 3 odst
True
but wait
keith david isn't cheap
the ROPs mishap might dent nvidia's sales hopefully
Remember when people were popping their 360s in the oven?
ngl I should've invested some money in nvidia
I mean I assume they’ll let you rma for those lol
nvidia before the ai bubble
But yes very unlucky
but will you get a replacement card?
that's the question
then I'd have enough to buy an ebay 5090
Depends on you going through vendor or manu
fair
Vendor probably refund
i can't imagine how much of a pain it'll be to only get a refund
If no stock is available
manu gonna send you the missing parts and gonna tell you how to put it together yourself
Still I don’t see it hurting Nvidia that bad in the long run unfortunately
It'd be really funny if then they turn around and sell the same GPU as new again
With like a 10 dollar discount
Makes me wonder how best buy is gonna sell that xtx I returned
Used 50 series market is gonna be even worse than used 40 series/used 13/14th gen
vendors or manus often use refurbished or open box stamp
Idk how easy it is to unmangle three dp ports
yikes for the refurb market on 50 series in the future
They can most definitely solder on new ones
or them open boxes
If the port itself is damaged
they'll just replace the ports
Probably
An hour work with a soldering iron probs
Or just put it through a machine at the factory
I mean the port was functional it was just hard to take in and out
for $100 less
But I payed msrp for it so I’m not getting a damaged product
That's fair
I mean the io shield was bent too
Wack
Which probably cause the display port deformations
But it also prevented me from installing the support bracket correctly
Got spare parts and spare ports
Take it apart, get the connectors off if need be, solder on new connectors if you have to, new IO shield, package and go
Thing is whether Best Buy or manu care enough
I say yay
i think so too
I'd do unspeakable things for that
Arch Linux says yay too
Is it at least guaranteed Hynix range?
Wasn’t there like 700 dollars like 9800x3d bundles with a ssd too?
lemme see
If it is
I'd 100% say yes
Might have had doodoo ram
Ah, coarse hair ram 👍
vengeance kit more like poo poo kit
sad
what’s hynix
well 599 is still yay
I know 6000CL30 is guaranteed Hynix

i thought there’s thousands, so what you’re saying, for the most part every brand is just a name attached to it, nothing actually special?
Msi has multiple mobo bundles

Like this
Has the 9800x3d at 430
And you can add a 2 tab nvme for 75
ooooo good deal
Pick a ram kit you like
With the ssd added it’s 655
Cl30 6000 is like 80-90 bucks
Without the ssd it’s. 580
There is cheaper and more expensive mobos
Like a x670e
im jealous of how cheap 4050 laptops get in the US rn
650 gets you competent cpu
and enough ram
not terrible amount of ssd storage either
ofc if you splurge 1k you can get 4070 easily
Think I saw a 900 Lenovo 4070 laptop
650 is roughly what I paid for mobo + 9800x3d
a solid purchase IMO
Ebay
Bruh effing amazon is edging me
You ordered something with long shipping lol
my drill press is arriving today
probably being handed off to USPS
carriers make it so difficult to do this lately
I don't think it's worth the double price
That’s not double
Closer to. 80%
same thing

hi balou
AMD FSR4 incoming, only for RDNA4 cards AMD is just about to announce the Radeon RX 9070 series, and one of the questions, besides the new cards’ price, is also FSR4 support. We have some information that you may find interesting. First of all, FSR4 support will depend on whether the game already has FSR […]

Very kind of them
im sure its because of the good will in their hearts and not because it means people will be more likely to buy from em
(it is in fact not from the good will of their hearts)
