[velvet summit]

but idk where it even would be

[elfin mural]

it just makes the milk condensed

[mortal grail]

Deep learning chocolate sampling

[opaque sedge]

Isnt the cocoa plant going extinct or something

[balmy solstice]

chocolate grass will make the milk chocolate

willy wonka did it

[velvet summit]

technically condense isnt the right word, it would be curdle

[balmy solstice]

gotta love willy

[dusk knot]

Imagine GMO cows that make chocolate milk. Lol that would be awesome!

[opaque sedge]

Tomasz Gawroński (@GawroskiT) on X

Sapphire nitro+ 9070xt has protections in place for the 12VHPWR connector.
Not only that they even covered the radiator FINS so the cable wont get damaged!
And on top of that magnetic back cover to hide the cable.
Superb engineering.

X · Feb 28, 2025, 4:47 PM

[frigid stag]

Amd doing the weird connector too

[sweet phoenix]

Protections for the new cable, who would've thunk

[normal violet]

Oh I missed that they changed to 12VHPWR

[frigid stag]

Probably only zotac

They added a light that shows when it’s secure

[elfin mural]

ew

it's a workaround for what is fundamentally flawed

[velvet summit]

I can't imagine this being any cheaper than using the older standard

[elfin mural]

yeah lmao

redundant as hell

[honest birch]

no, only sapphire

and it means itll perform best

higher power limit

sapphire on top once again

[elfin mural]

avoid sapphire then

[frigid stag]

Ohh only sapphire

[honest birch]

no

[elfin mural]

i do not trust the connector

[frigid stag]

It might be better we don’t know

[honest birch]

can u read lmfao

i can

[elfin mural]

a fuse can only do so much

the connector is the issue

[honest birch]

see how many reports there are, will be none

[elfin mural]

not the fuses

[honest birch]

just wait and see

[elfin mural]

ofc ill wait and see

but am i wrong for having doubts first?

safety matters

[frigid stag]

This guy might be right

[elfin mural]

this is what im concerned

i hope sapphire improves on this aspect too

[frigid stag]

It’s the board not the connector supposedly

[elfin mural]

the gpu meeds to know

no sense pin and you're cooked

[frigid stag]

Oh well I guess I’ll be beta testing it when I get a 5080 fe :)))

[honest birch]

i believe in sapphire

my xtx nitro+ is so amazing

[frigid stag]

They’re usually some of the best

[honest birch]

taichi oc from asrock and the sapphire nitro+ were the top two

besides the wb cards

[frigid stag]

Yea

At least they’re going back to monolithic on rdna 4 🙏

[honest birch]

now do it for ryzen

[frigid stag]

Real af

[elfin mural]

only fun for ocing ig

not even nvidia uses monolithic

[frigid stag]

And lower latency 😎

They do I’m pretty sure

They never went to chiplets afaik

[elfin mural]

amd just needs to do bigger CCDs

[frigid stag]

Yea 12 cores maybe

[elfin mural]

rn i think they managed 12 core per ccd

[frigid stag]

Intel’s doing the same for the real 15th gen

Bartlett lake 12 p cores

what the heck is that ???

someone can you tell me what's going on to newegg ??

[rancid juniper]

either that 5090 stock is depleted or some bug i have no clue

[worn wave]

also clown award bait. I hate that valve hasn't done anything about that

People when playing this game on SATA SSD/<6GB gpu:

[rancid juniper]

PS0.5

[frigid stag]

You need an nvme for this??

[fresh timber]

Yes maybe

Why wouldn’t you use a nvme

[rancid juniper]

believe so since directstorage is involved

and the way it does texture streaming is taxing

[frigid stag]

Sata ssd should be ok I guess

But idk

[worn wave]

likely runs off a sata ssd but has more texture popping or something compared to an nvme

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[worn wave]

cause it says direct storage is supported, not required

[opaque sedge]

@rancid juniper

Am i becoming a destructionist too…

[opaque sedge]

Monster hunter wilds aint it

perhaps

Dragon's Dogma 2 flashback

If it has near xtx performance… i might just update the drivers on my 4070super to those 572.xx ones which are currently breaking rtx cards

[rancid juniper]

😂

[opaque sedge]

Hypothetically speaking ofc

[rancid juniper]

i wouldn't go that far to kill a card lmfao

[opaque sedge]

But if my card does actually stop working microcenter will give me full refund for it

[rancid juniper]

😳

[opaque sedge]

They did for my 7900xt

[frigid stag]

Your gpu doesn’t have 2nd bios?

[rancid juniper]

heh, get to planning...

[opaque sedge]

Its cuz i got their warranty

[rancid juniper]

Load up those drivers

its refund time

[icy ore]

Prolly

this is funny, the epic game launcher is unreal engine 4

[sinful blade]

The amount of people I’ve seen complain about performance issues and how they “NEED TO BE FIXED RIGHT NOW” on Reddit’s and discords is wild

Like my dude, it’s been out for less than 12 hours

[nocturne flicker]

Want to talk about issues, LotRO had an update that changed the ui for the deed log. It made the deed log look very bleh and now whenever you complete a deed, there is good chance that it will crash the game

[opaque sedge]

AMAZON IS STILL EDGING ME LIKE WHY DID YOU HAVE TO USE A BAR

[nocturne flicker]

Because they hate you and everyone else that uses Amazon

[velvet summit]

did you buy from amazon

like, i mean sold by amazon

[opaque sedge]

Yeah

[velvet summit]

damn

was it a backorder

[opaque sedge]

Its just the batch that had next day shipping sold out immediately

[velvet summit]

why is it such a long weight

oh

so it was a backorder

[nocturne flicker]

Long weight

[velvet summit]

makes sense then

[opaque sedge]

On the same day it launched nonetheless

[fresh timber]

shoulkd have bought a dual sense

[velvet summit]

steel pipes be like

[opaque sedge]

People were thirsting for a good controller lol

[opaque sedge]

I mean for potentiometers dual sense is one of the good ones ig

[fresh timber]

i love the triggers on my dual senses

[velvet summit]

steam controller 2 is rumored to be soon ish though

[opaque sedge]

Potentiometer reminds me im worried for the day my steam deck starts drifting

But stick replacement is easy apparently since its solder free

Hear that microsoft and sony solder free joystick modules

[opaque sedge]

Hope tmr ones come out soon tho ngl

[balmy solstice]

can I really fix it

[rancid juniper]

this problem has been ongoing for 3+ months

[opaque sedge]

Yeah and gamesir is apparently collaborating with steam for one of their upcoming controllers too

[rancid juniper]

its warranted actually

ever since the first network beta test people have been complaining about performance issues

[opaque sedge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/HbeCn8YAya

It was leaked a while ago

[sinful blade]

I meant the full game

[velvet summit]

replace the e with a x

[opaque sedge]

Two back paddle shaped buttons and two extra shoulder buttons, tmr joysticks, hall effect to microswitch triggers, mechanical buttons and swappable dpad i believe

[nocturne flicker]

You must reset the Potentiometer to 50 Potents and reverse the polarity of the potent flow

[rancid juniper]

i mean, if a bunch of peeps are not having fun because the game is running terribly especially on a capable system then you'll expect this alot. Console players don't have to worry about that

[balmy solstice]

most of the time

[rancid juniper]

plus, this game is super popular atm

[sinful blade]

I can’t play it period, but all I’ve seen is complaining lmao

[opaque sedge]

Wilds? Its got 1 million STEAM players rn

[rancid juniper]

yea

[balmy solstice]

do you want to

😏

[opaque sedge]

Dude i dont i can just play it either this benchmarker here is using balanced not even quality but balanced upscaling on high 1440p

[sinful blade]

I have a 5700xt
Unless you’re giving me a gpu strong enough

[rancid juniper]

ok complaining probably won't get you nowhere but it shows the horrible state of AAA titles nowadays

[opaque sedge]

On an effing 4070super

[frigid stag]

You only need a 1660

[sinful blade]

I was complaining about the complaining

[opaque sedge]

With fsr framegen upscaling and hopes an dreams

[rancid juniper]

complainception?

[frigid stag]

5700xt should do it

[sinful blade]

Runs at 7 frames on 360p low

Probably

[opaque sedge]

Apparently mh wilds difficulty is really low for a monster hunter game maybe they made it easier in anticipation of the input lag

[sinful blade]

Idk, I only have a 1660 super and a 5700xt and no money for the game

[balmy solstice]

not impossible

[rancid juniper]

digital foundry was complaining about stutters on an RTX 4060 8GB

[balmy solstice]

you'll just be a time traveler

[rancid juniper]

and that was with the recommended settings the game provided his system with

automatically

[frigid stag]

Ye that gpu is gimped all around

[opaque sedge]

Its still a pretty capable gpu tho

[frigid stag]

Bad vram bus, vram less cores than the 3060

[frigid stag]

Eh

[rancid juniper]

i got some cash but no way im spending 70 on a game

lmfao

[opaque sedge]

Should be more than sufficient for modern 1080p gaming if games actually were optimized to look good and perform good

[opaque sedge]

I’m waiting for a sale to buy indie games lol

[wise wigeon]

[opaque sedge]

[frigid stag]

It’s a renamed 4050 but it is what it is

[velvet summit]

you're dry

[opaque sedge]

Kinda feels like i wasted my money spending 6 hundies on a gpu

[opaque sedge]

Your mom was dry

Wait

[frigid stag]

Play whatever game you want to play

[velvet summit]

it's not like your gpu will only last like 2 years though

[rancid juniper]

[velvet summit]

use your gpu as long as you need to

[velvet summit]

i mean, you were gaming on your pc before the steam deck 💀

[balmy solstice]

I can't say that site??

[opaque sedge]

Nah i actually kinda stopped gaming a bit 💀

[velvet summit]

you cant say grey market or black markets if that was what you sent

[opaque sedge]

Hadn’t gamed for almost a month before i got my deck

[opaque sedge]

The purple names always end up making me confused between the two

[velvet summit]

there are more than 2 purple names

[frigid stag]

Same with blue names

I get u confused with like 4 other people

Thinking it’s the same person

[balmy solstice]

[opaque sedge]

@velvet summit how likely am i to regret this

Was the last of two

Damn kinda wish i got it when it was 1 left

Cuz it would be final

[balmy solstice]

does it have free returns

[opaque sedge]

The final one

[opaque sedge]

Dont think so

[velvet summit]

i do not know many wireless

[frigid stag]

What’s your thoughts on tube amps

[velvet summit]

i like them
i'm not a purist, i think they sound cool

[frigid stag]

Fair they look cool as well

[velvet summit]

especially guitar amps, the tube type is just so much better for tone imo

[frigid stag]

💯

[velvet summit]

you can even diy a tube amp, i really want to get this but it's pretty expensive lol

[opaque sedge]

Ic honestly dont look into them based on my impressions the wireless headphone market on a spectrum from cheap to expensive seem to be dogcrap, dogcrap, dogcrap, serviceable, dograp, alright, dogcrap, amazing but not outstanding, outstanding but unattainable

[opaque sedge]

For 134 bucks it could be a steal

[balmy solstice]

I love crack

[opaque sedge]

Apparently its a rare good sounding closed back wireless headphone

[velvet summit]

i would love to try crack

[balmy solstice]

I think you should go for it

there isn't any companion app from the company for it tho

so you're gonna have to use your own audio mixer

voicemeeter should be fine for that

[balmy solstice]

I love when crack amplifies

that's how you know it's good crack

profile identity crisis

[unreal trail]

How bad can Ubisoft screw up.. dang man

[velvet summit]

why is my server pfp not in the screenshot lmao

just my regular ass discord pfp

[nocturne flicker]

I don't know

[balmy solstice]

blizzard would never

[dusk knot]

Lmaooooo

What a bunch of idiots

[nocturne flicker]

Discord mobile is pain

[velvet summit]

💀

discord moment

[dusk knot]

Idk why people want to support this company

[balmy solstice]

the identity crisis bug

[lone mango]

A week or two ago i took out my graphics card and this 2 pin came out and still don’t know its purpose

[nocturne flicker]

Funny thing is that this one has the proper pfp on my end

[balmy solstice]

asscreed wasn't so bad 😔

[balmy solstice]

its purpose was to decrease the value of your gpu

[lone mango]

Maybe wasn’t even part of it

Thats a long connector

[balmy solstice]

hmm

[hoary zodiac]

That looks like something that came out of your front panel headers

[balmy solstice]

it do

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe

[balmy solstice]

they usually use 2 prongs

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe it's a jumper?

[lone mango]

Right but it’s not labeled

[hoary zodiac]

That an engineer forgot to take out

Too big to be a jumper tho

[lone mango]

And my front panel connectors are all together in a tiny casing

I heard it as I was taking it out, so it was in there for who knows how long

Goofy

[balmy solstice]

might be from something you took out

since your panel is working fine, can't be the restart or power connector

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

Yeah idc anymore

Nothing changed before or after so it is what it is

[lone mango]

I found out about e4mc a couple days ago

Can play with friends without the essential slop

[opaque sedge]

Wait are the new 9070 and 9070xt pcie 5.0

It prolly wont matter much but still curious

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

[hoary zodiac]

yes and yes

imo the most useful thing about PCI-E 5.0 is the sheer bandwidth available

So you can have a HBA card that can run a lot of hard drives

In consumer hardware

[opaque sedge]

Explain the importance of bandwidth like a first level economics class

[hoary zodiac]

Bottleneck

[opaque sedge]

Mhm

[hoary zodiac]

If neck too small

Flow gets slowed down

[opaque sedge]

Mhmhm

[hoary zodiac]

however in the case of modern gpus

A 5090 roughly maxes out pcie 3.0 x16 so

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/uhm-meeting2-hmm-meeting-hmm-pepe-pepe-meeting-gif-18064240235739253690

[hoary zodiac]

In terms of gpu we have a long way to go before pcie 4 becomes an issue

But the attractive thing about pcie 5 is well

There is all this bandwidth here

You can run a lot of stuff off it

Combined with pcie bifurcation

[opaque sedge]

So more nvme slots

[hoary zodiac]

You can do a lot

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

Especially with bifurcation

[opaque sedge]

Is pcie compatibility on cpus important

[safe cape]

you talk about this ??

[hoary zodiac]

Some boards let you run one slot in x8/x8 or x4/x4/x4/x4

[hoary zodiac]

That has to be using 32 lanes

Without looking at the specs

[opaque sedge]

One slot only has 16 no?

[hoary zodiac]

A practical solution would to be run gen 4 ssds on gen 5

[opaque sedge]

So would the perf of those nvmes be cut in half or smth

[hoary zodiac]

You see

If those are gen 4 ssds

And you run them on gen 5

Theoretically there is enough bandwidth

[opaque sedge]

Man this is giving me calculus ptsd

[hoary zodiac]

Gen 5 has double the bandwidth as gen 4

M.2 uses 4 pcie lanes each

So on paper

16 gen 5 lanes = 32 gen 4 lanes

In terms of bandwidth

[opaque sedge]

Reminding me of the time when the prof just pulled out the chain rule on the derivatives chapter and somehow brought out three different functions from one

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not sure if that's how the card actually works tho

[hoary zodiac]

Chain rule is based nah

It's only the integration u sub that's annoying

[opaque sedge]

Or two from one like wtf do you mean i gotta compute the derivative of sin(2x) like its got two functions

[hoary zodiac]

To this day I still have no idea how to do u sub

[hoary zodiac]

Ok basically

d/dx f(g) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x)

[opaque sedge]

Its just 2cos(2x) but it was confusing at first

[hoary zodiac]

ok so what you do is

You differentiate 2x first

Well I mean

You treat f(x) and g(x) as two seperate functions

Derive them separately and put them back together

It does get annoying because it's mixed in with the trig function

Another rule to throw in the ring

[opaque sedge]

It get even annoying when you get to csc sec

[hoary zodiac]

At least with derivatives it's decently straightforward

Integration tho...

💀

[opaque sedge]

Man

I am not looking forward to life

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/math-madness-gif-25268021

[opaque sedge]

Yeah so for a simple example of sin(2x) its f(g(x) which is sin(g(x)) and the derivative of that is cos(g(x)) and then you multiply that with the derivative of g(x) or 2x which is 2 resulting in 2cos(2x)

Quotient rule questions get so hectic tho

And later on it started combining quotient rule with chain rule and…

Calculus is a nightmare

[hoary zodiac]

See derivatives is simple on paper

But they troll you by making the most annoying questions possible

[opaque sedge]

Yeah its hard to follow the notation system of modern mathematics tho

Really hope future mathematicians or idk the governing body of mathematics changes that

[hoary zodiac]

i use both Leibnitz and Legrange interchangeably

[opaque sedge]

Also rip to dyslexic people wanting to study engineering

[hoary zodiac]

Sometimes I use both in the same question

Really just comes down to which one is faster

[opaque sedge]

Legrange is the apostrophe one right

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

[opaque sedge]

Think i like that one more

[hoary zodiac]

I like Legrange for substitutions

[opaque sedge]

Leibniz is easier for derivatives of a function y with respect to x questions tho

[hoary zodiac]

f'(2) is just concise and simple

[opaque sedge]

So like dy/dx

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

They're both good for certain questions

[opaque sedge]

y’ got confusing for me

[hoary zodiac]

de/dn

[opaque sedge]

…

https://tenor.com/view/gus-gusfring-gif-24463299

[opaque sedge]

Cant take the derivative of a constant hah got you

e^x is a constant

Well u can but its just zero but not zero for e^x for some reason

Derivative of e^x is just e^x

Still never understood the proof

[hoary zodiac]

d/dx e^2x

[safe cape]

any videos ??

link

[opaque sedge]

Uhh (e^2x)ln2?

[hoary zodiac]

Uhh I've been talking therotically

[hoary zodiac]

2e^2x

Basically you just chain rule it

[safe cape]

nas ssd is also a solution to that ? no if u have an old mobo

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

Depends on the bandwidth

[opaque sedge]

Huh no natural log?

[hoary zodiac]

No need

You can just chain rule this one

[opaque sedge]

Got it

When do u use natural log again

[hoary zodiac]

I forgot lmao

💀

[safe cape]

so the max is 32 ssd in pcie gen 5

or what

[opaque sedge]

Makes sense

[hoary zodiac]

no

Nvme ssds use up 4 lanes each

With 8 ssds you are using up 32 gen 4 lanes

There is no single slot solution that can provide that many lanes

On gen 4

Go up a generation however

[safe cape]

so max is 8 on gen 5

[hoary zodiac]

You would now have double the bandwidth

noooooo

Wait

[safe cape]

just stop hhhhhh

i will search for it

thanks

[opaque sedge]

Looks like it was for constants

[hoary zodiac]

bro is taking the wrong messages

[safe cape]

yeah

hhhh XD

[hoary zodiac]

Ok

Listen very carefully

Don't jump to conclusions

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/my-brain-hurts-mindblowing-so-dumb-cant-think-shocked-gif-23941809

[hoary zodiac]

Please

Ok so you don't have the bandwidth to run 8 gen 4 ssds on pcie gen 4 x16

However pcie gen 5 x16 has enough bandwidth to run 8 gen 4 ssds

Because Pcie 5.0 x16 roughly had the bandwidth of 32 gen 4 lanes

[safe cape]

wich mobo can do this

[safe cape]

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-x870e-apex/spec/

if you use a gpu you cant use the second pcie gen 5 x16 ?

yes ?

[hoary zodiac]

Again I've been talking therotically

[plush gorge]

is anyone else having an issue with their order is in packaging but the shipping date is a week away?

[hoary zodiac]

On paper it's possible

[safe cape]

yeah agree

[hoary zodiac]

But whether someone's actually implemented it is another thing

[hoary zodiac]

One possible solution is that you can run the gpu at x8

Actually hmm

Gen 4x8 should have bandwidth for most gpus eh?

Assuming gen 4 gpu

[safe cape]

idk

[hoary zodiac]

One way I see this working

Is running the ssds at the full 5.0 x16

And then running the gpu at 5.0 x8

[safe cape]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-pci-express-scaling/29.html

not big difference

[hoary zodiac]

But here's the thing

[safe cape]

i think

[hoary zodiac]

Most practical solutions only have you run 4 ssds per slot

I don't think anyone's actually tried running 8 gen 4 nvmes in a gen 5 x16 slot

[wise wigeon]

Hmm there are not entirely offensive 5070ti bundles rn

But since I can no longer return my psu I would not be saving $130

[hoary zodiac]

oh look

valve hardware survey

nooooooo

[gleaming sedge]

Rx 6600 8gb pair well with ryzen 7 5700x? And is it worth 160 used?

[wise wigeon]

Not used no

Swear I bought one for $180 new a while back

[hoary zodiac]

7600 maybe

or xt

[opaque sedge]

It could get more popular soon yk bazzite and other distros seem to be getting a lot of momentum nowadays

And if people end up buying the new amd gpus it might incentivize them to try linux

[velvet summit]

"Arch Linux"

[opaque sedge]

Btw guys

Whats unix?

[velvet summit]

I think it was an acronym but I forget it

But it predates linux

[opaque sedge]

Icic

[hoary zodiac]

isn't macos still unix based?

[frigid stag]

you can get better cards used

like a 2070

[velvet summit]

It's as Unix based as android is Linux based

[opaque sedge]

Apparently nvidia drivers are holding back the full release of steamos

[velvet summit]

Aka barely

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

with android

[opaque sedge]

Ngl kinda wish valve would just roll it out for compatible hardware rn

[hoary zodiac]

with android there's more of a connection

since you can run both natively on each other

[opaque sedge]

Its so good on the deck can only imagine on pc

[velvet summit]

You can run a Unix shell on Macos afaik

[lone mango]

But wouldnt it still use 4 lanes even though its pcie 4? The drive would have to have pcie 5x2 so it can still hit the same speeds

[opaque sedge]

Is it true windows itself is just an application but the true os is smth called dos?

[lone mango]

Or maybe the spec doesnt matter

[velvet summit]

No

[hoary zodiac]

it would depend on the implementation

[velvet summit]

Windows is built on the windows NT kernel

[hoary zodiac]

I've been mostly talking about on paper bandwidths

not actual practical solutions

[lone mango]

True

[velvet summit]

I think the last version that windows was related to dos at all was MS-DOS?

[hoary zodiac]

win 98 iirc

[frigid stag]

ms dos is based

[lone mango]

In practice you would probably have to get 5x2 drives

[hoary zodiac]

then they moved to NT

[velvet summit]

Oh

[opaque sedge]

Damn so my old comp sci prof is stuck decades in the past

[velvet summit]

I mean

[frigid stag]

maybe google it to be sure

[velvet summit]

DOS is still used today

[hoary zodiac]

yeah some infrastracture probably still depends on it

[velvet summit]

Industrial automation has alot of tech from like the 70s

[frigid stag]

people are pissed theres old control panel in windows 11

[velvet summit]

There's also a huge amount of validation and other paperwork required for changing even a minor detail in something as complex and dangerous if mishandled as a whole ass nuclear power plant

[hoary zodiac]

[gleaming sedge]

Don't really have the money for 200 plus dollars and the drive to get it though

That's almost my entire 2 week paycheck so not ideal

You could get this

But $40 more

Or there's a $125 1080, pretty sure that matches the 6600 perf wise

[sinful blade]

@gleaming sedge look for a 5700xt as well

Not really good for RT, but will give a little less performance than a 2070 super for $100-120

[wise wigeon]

is that the new 70 xt?

because the card on the far right is def the 7900xtx nitro plus

[opaque sedge]

Yeah gamersnexus has sapphire sample cards it seems

Look at him flexing it on us

now the xfx cards though

i mean you can get the core reactor 2 1000w for 130 and on sale 110

if you ever feel the need

Bro just became a regular and left alr

no you are

[rigid sinew]

whats error code 43 in the device manager

[wise wigeon]

apparently just means it stopped a device for whatever reason

[balmy solstice]

its when windows stops something you got connected from running

[rigid sinew]

hmmmm

[wise wigeon]

could be drivers could be other stuff

[balmy solstice]

might be an incompatible usb or that ^

[opaque sedge]

Genuinely curious why they adopted this… could they be gunning for a partnership with nvidia

[wise wigeon]

dunno

[balmy solstice]

i know my headset only plugs into certain slots on my mobo without shutting off

[dense locust]

I love non descriptive vague error codes

[wise wigeon]

i mean ther blower style asrock 7900xtx had a 16 pin

[dense locust]

[wise wigeon]

that card is literally so cursed

[wise wigeon]

you try updating you 5080 yet?

[opaque sedge]

I think its very likely, i mean they’re a business and their interests lie in making sure they can sell more products

Jesus imagine a sapphire nvidia card

[rigid sinew]

so if someone has a gpu and they say it hasnt worked since day one - would that be cause of compatibility or something is wrong with the gpu

[wise wigeon]

theyll never be evga though

it would be nice but they would always be compared to them if they went nvidia

heckthey're compared now

[dense locust]

Should I update? My cpu was the issue the card works fine now

[wise wigeon]

oh ok

just read that there was a new vbios for the 50 series that would fix some people's black screen issue

whats the new cpu?

[balmy solstice]

could be DOA, could be that their bios needs to be updated to support the gpu, or the gpu is simply not compatible at all with the mobo

[opaque sedge]

Still doesn’t make sense if they’re not hoping for a nvidia partnership cuz many people are looking to get amd for the good old pcie 8pin slots this could drive the alr low sales of amd cards down given recent 12vhpwr shenanigans

[dense locust]

5600x

[balmy solstice]

you'll know if your VGA light is on

hmmm thank you

bit mismatched with a 5080 huh

It’s a temp solution
Will upgrade platform when I get more money

[wise wigeon]

makes sens i guess

[balmy solstice]

hot

[wise wigeon]

plus if you play 4k its gonna be less of an issue

[dense locust]

If it works it works

Dunno what cpu to get

[balmy solstice]

9800x3d

[dense locust]

I wanna get one that does both gaming and productivity

[balmy solstice]

9800x3d

[wise wigeon]

i mean 9800x3d is cool but it wont meet everyones needs

[dense locust]

Time to save for a year and buy 9950x3d/j

[balmy solstice]

i mean

the only good prices for them are at microcenter

[wise wigeon]

if you care more about gaming perf then x3d over reg

because the x3d is still ok at productivity just not as good

[dense locust]

Too bad the nearest microcenter is 6-8 hrs away

[wise wigeon]

msi has the bundles

i mentioned it yesterday

its like 580 for the 9800x3d and a ok b650

and you can add a 2 tb ssd for $75

[dense locust]

Trying to visit the store

I guess they did a drop

Site dead lol

[wise wigeon]

its because people are constantly refreshing for

50 series

[balmy solstice]

addicts

[wise wigeon]

5080 at 1300 just dropped

1250 actually

[balmy solstice]

yup

gonna be gone in 5 seconds

that 5070 ti bundle aint even that bad

its just i dont need a new psu now

and i cant return the rm850x anymore

[wise wigeon]

which is nuts because the 9800x3d is 480 msrp

[balmy solstice]

loading

[dense locust]

Do these sell out quick?

[opaque sedge]

Is ups threatening me?!?

[wise wigeon]

i mean apparently according to the post its not got an expired tag

[dense locust]

I can’t check if they’re in stock until 50 series bots stop spamming the site

[balmy solstice]

its mine now

[opaque sedge]

Do u even know what it is

[balmy solstice]

if you like it i love it

[wise wigeon]

a x670e plus a 9800x3d for 590 is nice

[opaque sedge]

@wise wigeon are you at all interested in the new 9070xt?

Is that the one to go for?

[wise wigeon]

i you want the extras

[opaque sedge]

What if ur parents dont like it 😈

[dense locust]

How many m.2 it got
