[hoary zodiac]

If you're just hanging around already generated chunks it's probably not gonna use much resources

[lone mango]

Maybe it gets worse with all of them rendered with distant

[hoary zodiac]

eh

[lone mango]

Once it renders all of them it starts tanking

Idk

[hoary zodiac]

I was running it on my igpu

With shaders

[frigid stag]

automated benchmarks run fine lol. seen plenty of those when you try use on in the real world you see the nuances

[hoary zodiac]

Wait

Oh

You LOST performance over time?

Ok that's strange

[storm narwhal]

Selective reading

[lone mango]

Its so weird ill be getting 30 fps and have like 30% usage after a while

[lone mango]

Yeah lol

[storm narwhal]

Benchmarks on the internet can include gameplay bro

[lone mango]

Gonna reboot and see

[hoary zodiac]

Hmm

[storm narwhal]

Or I guess it's selective understanding?

[hoary zodiac]

Show resource utilisation

When it starts tanking

[frigid stag]

denial

[storm narwhal]

Wow that's rich

[frigid stag]

just one small aspect

[storm narwhal]

Okay, one data point

Proves it all, eh?

[frigid stag]

test one for yourself lmao

[storm narwhal]

No source, no validation

You do it lol, I'm not made of money

[frigid stag]

show me one reviewer showing day to day usage

[storm narwhal]

Unfortunately

Wish I was

[hoary zodiac]

Doesn't that go both ways

[storm narwhal]

I was about to say

[frigid stag]

kinda doesnt when theres no one to test it but yourself

[storm narwhal]

What?

You literally asked to show a reviewer who does a day to day review of GPU

And now you say no one does it

So...

[hoary zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/moving-goalposts-goalposts-changing-requirements-gif-25214446

[idle nexus]

is this really necessary?

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/soccer-soccer-ball-gif-26197367

[idle nexus]

WindowsApps is hidden by default

[hoary zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-imposter-imposter-among-us-sus-among-us-sus-gif-158167910449982651

[frigid stag]

thats the point. there is none. except testing it yourself

[misty sparrow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/331316693941092362/923991142750646272/image0.gif

[storm narwhal]

And well, if anything

[frigid stag]

was telling you that cause you asked for a “source”

[storm narwhal]

Gameplay reviews is my source

[idle nexus]

lol yoo

[storm narwhal]

And it's not exactly apples to apples

[idle nexus]

I'm pretty sure it added it lol

DLSS 2.1.16? ancient

[storm narwhal]

But with a 7840HS that has a 780M igpu

[frigid stag]

its fun testing things tho u see a lot

[hoary zodiac]

ooooo

[storm narwhal]

Its been able to run my games without needing me to do a ddu since I got it

[idle nexus]

the thing is, where is the option to enable DLSS In MC settings? does that exist? lol

[storm narwhal]

My 3050M has needed several ddus cause halo infinite wouldn't load cause newest drivers broke the game

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe nvidia just forgot

[storm narwhal]

Among other issues

[hoary zodiac]

Or didn't care to

Microsoft actually but

[frigid stag]

i have no experience with gaming laptops tbh

[hoary zodiac]

🤷‍♂️

[frigid stag]

theyre a whole different rabbit hole

[storm narwhal]

The halo buddies I still play with complain a lot about nvidias driver stability cause that's all they have

[frigid stag]

should switch to amd and see

[hoary zodiac]

How tf are you windows users getting more problems than me on a linux nvidia laptop

[frigid stag]

pro tip though is to be one version behind

[storm narwhal]

Bro don't even ask idk

[hoary zodiac]

This is a certified radeon moment

[lone mango]

I have been using all amd since 2018 on a windows installation thats been cloned 4 times and im fine

[storm narwhal]

My 780M hasn't had a single issue with games yet and it's been about a year or so

[frigid stag]

i dont even use geforce experience. only profile inspector

[hoary zodiac]

How

[storm narwhal]

Igpu isn't dgpu but it's the closest thing I have

[hoary zodiac]

How have your windows not broken itself

Wtf????

Some of y'all are lucky as hell

[frigid stag]

i think they switched to nvidia app now though its a bit weird

[lone mango]

I even changed platforms

[storm narwhal]

4 clones is insane

[lone mango]

Hahaha

[hoary zodiac]

DJDNEJDND

[storm narwhal]

Wtf

[hoary zodiac]

10?

[lone mango]

Yeah

[frigid stag]

my windows did break but cause of ms edge lol

[hoary zodiac]

damn

Even with updates?

Updates didn't kill it?

[dense locust]

In bedrock not Java

[hoary zodiac]

You are one lucky bastard

[idle nexus]

this is bedrock

[storm narwhal]

I removed Edge with revo

Screw edge

Hate it

Didn't break my install so I should be fine

[tranquil pebble]

Microsoft is an lord

[lone mango]

I had a 2600 with a b450 and a 128gb ssd, went to a 1 tb ssd, went to a b550 board and a 5600. Then I moved my 1tb partition to an external hard drive and then cloned that again to a 2 tb ssd

[idle nexus]

I kind hate Edge but it beats Chrome imo

[frigid stag]

i tried through registry

[hoary zodiac]

I use Librewolf

[lone mango]

And still chugging

[storm narwhal]

I hate chrome and Edge so brave it is loll

[hoary zodiac]

Oh ryzen to ryzen

[dense locust]

Should be in settings where raytracing is I’m pretty sure

[hoary zodiac]

That's not too bad

Still

[idle nexus]

did you use Macrium?

[hoary zodiac]

That's impressive

[storm narwhal]

And then yeah now I'm on librewolf

[lone mango]

Yeah i did

[hoary zodiac]

I usually just dd

[idle nexus]

I think I found it

[lone mango]

I use zen browser

[hoary zodiac]

Clones everything

[storm narwhal]

After Louis' vid on mozilla just recently

[hoary zodiac]

Hmmmm

Cloud how much FOSS do you use

[frigid stag]

they changed the terms now apparently

tweaked them a bit

[hoary zodiac]

Do you still use linux?

[lone mango]

I had to reinstall nobara because macrium didnt clone it properly

[tranquil pebble]

what's wrong with mozilla now?

[lone mango]

Yeah I havent used windows for like a week or something

[storm narwhal]

Removed policy about selling data

[hoary zodiac]

You can probably copy over some of the old directories

[frigid stag]

some new contract agreement

[storm narwhal]

To comply with CCPA but

[hoary zodiac]

I'd be interested to know your Linux experience

[frigid stag]

was the new agreement only in america?

[storm narwhal]

The way they use telemetry, sponsored ads and other incomes they could still be in trouble with the CCPA

[lone mango]

Leadership and privacy policy switchup

[hoary zodiac]

I'm cooking up something in my homelab

[idle nexus]

not entirely sure what to do with this yet

[lone mango]

Pretty good and I learned a lot by fixing some issues that weren’t that bad

[storm narwhal]

I think it was worldwide

[lone mango]

Some intuitive thinking and looking things up

Learned a lot and now im full linux

[storm narwhal]

I didn't check I moved to librewolf so I don't have to think about it anymore

[hoary zodiac]

Basically I'm thinking of making a wiki for linux

[idle nexus]

all the graphics stuff is here ig

[hoary zodiac]

In the spirit of the arch wiki

Being beginner friendly while providing lots of information

[lone mango]

Yall should try zen it also uses gecko but is really smooth and stylish

[hoary zodiac]

Hmm

[lone mango]

It also will unload tabs that arent used

[hoary zodiac]

I might make VMs

To test out different distros

[lone mango]

I had 30 tabs and only took up 1.6gb ram

[hoary zodiac]

My expertise is mostly limited to arch and debian

[lone mango]

And scrolling is sooo smooth on zen

[lone mango]

I was in a whole vm era before I switched bruh

Vm this vm that

lol

[tranquil pebble]

All this nonsense only applies to binaries of Firefox released by Mozilla. Build from source if you want to avoid it

[hoary zodiac]

Or use a fork

Librewolf

Librewolf-bin

[storm narwhal]

That's exactly what Louis said

[hoary zodiac]

I ain't compiling a whole browser

[tranquil pebble]

for me the forks are not a good enough alternative

[storm narwhal]

Just go to librewolf if any of mozillas stuff upsets you

[frigid stag]

i doubt 99.9% of people using it know how

[storm narwhal]

You just lose all the sponsored content

And pocket

[hoary zodiac]

Depends

If you use linux

[storm narwhal]

Which is still sponsored content

[frigid stag]

linux users can definitely figure it out

[hoary zodiac]

It's as simple as sudo pacman -S firefox-git

[frigid stag]

even if they dont know

[dusk knot]

Hm

[storm narwhal]

Oh and I guess profile sync between your phone and PC

[hoary zodiac]

Linux lets you choose between compiling or installing a binary

Linux package management is based

[tranquil pebble]

Arch package manager is great

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's why I recommend arch based

In my experience it makes package management a breeze

[idle nexus]

I accidentally entered big picture mode on Steam

I had no idea how to get out

it was traumatic

[storm narwhal]

HELP IM STUCK IN BIG PICTURE MODE

[idle nexus]

exactly

[storm narwhal]

Bottom left

[idle nexus]

okay let's see

[storm narwhal]

The steam button then there's the power button

[hoary zodiac]

Step gaben I'm stuck

[storm narwhal]

Then there should be exit

Steam sales are coming

[idle nexus]

heck I guess I gotta take ownership of the stupid folder first

[tranquil pebble]

small picture mode when?

[opaque sedge]

When… i’m sick of trying to get thru dark souls three in my deck… still haven’t cracked thru high wall of lothric

I want dave the diver ngl

[storm narwhal]

Balatro

[opaque sedge]

And yakuza games

All the yakuza games

[idle nexus]

heck with me will you

[storm narwhal]

Steam deck is balatro deck

[opaque sedge]

Could technically play it on mobile too yk

[storm narwhal]

Yeah but that's paying twice

[opaque sedge]

Huh is balatro on sale rn

[storm narwhal]

It was like

4 days ago I think it's still on

[icy ore]

Very good

[opaque sedge]

Looks like its not but the slay the spire bundle seems to be nicely priced

[lone mango]

About foss i try to find as much as i can

[hoary zodiac]

Turns out writing a wiki by yourself is a lot of work

💀

[storm narwhal]

Rip

[lone mango]

I installed onlyoffice which is imo better than libreoffice

Also foss

[opaque sedge]

What the fook is onlyoffice

[hoary zodiac]

It's pretty new

It's got better ms office compatibility

Than libreoffice

[opaque sedge]

Why the name gotta be so sus

[hoary zodiac]

I still prefer libreoffice because customisation

And plugins

But yeah onlyoffice is good for ms office workflows

There's also the ms office 365 electron webapp

But obviously that's more limited

[idle nexus]

hmm it still won't let me write to the folder even running as admin but I found the DLSS .dll file

[fresh timber]

hey

[hoary zodiac]

With all these foss options I should definitely spin up a couple vms

[fresh timber]

@idle nexus guess what happened

[hoary zodiac]

To test out software

[idle nexus]

you got rid of DSL? lol

luckily

[fresh timber]

the system my mc servre was on ran out of storage, my server corrupted, backup also was corrupted, but diffrent files was corupted so i was able to piece the backup and main files toghter to make a working server

[idle nexus]

gonna see if I can manually replace the DLSS .dll file https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/

[fresh timber]

main files had broken world data so i took backups,

luckily mc makes a backup of the world by default so i was easily able to recover that

[idle nexus]

how heckin big is this world?? lol

[fresh timber]

7gb

maybe 8

ill check

[idle nexus]

oh... how did it run out of storage then?

[fresh timber]

i corrupted world data and pokemon data

but i fix

[fresh timber]

uhh

so the backups i was making

having a few 7gb backups add up

and the system hit 1gb of storage left and boom it crashed

[idle nexus]

heck it won't give me permission either... okay back to the drawing board

[idle nexus]

can you set it to overwrite previous backups?

[fresh timber]

yeah

i didnt realise i was using so much lol

[idle nexus]

ya for real that's a lot of MC backups jeez

[fresh timber]

i downlaoded this from my server

kek

[pliant berry]

that.. if your mc server?

[idle nexus]

lol it's like 1/10 of my fallout 4 folder

[fresh timber]

yup

[pliant berry]

a lot of server management panels have limits to how many backups you can make so you aren't just taking up infinite storage

[fresh timber]

that was um.. that was 5 backups

[pliant berry]

what

[fresh timber]

i was able to assemble this

[pliant berry]

wtf do you have on this

[fresh timber]

40gb is the server+5 backups

and i didnt give the vm alot of storage thinking ill be fine kek

[pliant berry]

my mc server is taking up like 1-2gb lol

[fresh timber]

lmfao

[idle nexus]

heck

[fresh timber]

ima slap this world on a usb stick to transfer between computers

[idle nexus]

do you need to set up NAT/Gaming whatever thing (Port Forward I think it used to be called?) for MC server? or would doing that help with latency?

[pliant berry]

ye you need to port forward for it to be publicly accessible. or you give friends a vpn to access it

[fresh timber]

speaking of latency, turns out all my issues was cause my isp was having issues for the past few days

they claimed to have fixed the issues at 4

[idle nexus]

ah okay so nvm I'm useless lol

[fresh timber]

lol

you kow i should prob zip the file first

[idle nexus]

ya or .rar or somethiung

dunno which is best?

.7v or something also

whatever 7zip's is

make sure you're using a USB 3.0 port if the flash drive supports it too

lol

[fresh timber]

i just use a zip

[fresh timber]

i think it is lel, my pc is so new i dont even think i have anything slower than 3.0

[pliant berry]

.zip is more universally compatible. though with some linux systems you might want tar

[fresh timber]

i broke my linux 😦

well mostly crafty

[pliant berry]

😦

[fresh timber]

and i dont feel like fixing it

[pliant berry]

oh yeah

[fresh timber]

crafty spits out an error

[pliant berry]

I used crafty before but for some reason it deleted everything so I stopped using it xD

[fresh timber]

alot of stuff got corrupted kek

[fresh timber]

oop

i should be able to dynamicly use my ram now atleast

it wont use all 8gb 24/7

[pliant berry]

Lately I've been using pterodactyl and it has been working nicely. bit of a pain to setup at first though

[lavish stag]

Will replacing my stock intel i5 12400f cooler reduce noise lvl signficantlt?

[fresh timber]

https://help.forestracks.com/panels/pterodactyl/install-pterodactyl

shilling my friends host

https://github.com/ForestRacks/PteroInstaller

[idle nexus]

it could depending on what you replace it with

[pliant berry]

your friend made a guide?

[fresh timber]

better yet, he also owns a host

he owns servers in datacenters

[pliant berry]

lol nice

[fresh timber]

yeah

very nice guy

i recommend them cause u wont get some bullpoop support from those big host

[pliant berry]

oh its install script

[fresh timber]

u can just dm bro and he will help me

plus i get discounts

[idle nexus]

heck wth

I made myself owner of all program files on C:\

gave myself full control permissions

applied to all subfolders

[pliant berry]

now purge everything

[idle nexus]

& it STILL won't let me copy & paste the DLSS .dll file into Minecraft lol

it was easier changing the "hosts" file in System32

why does Windows protect Minecraft more than it protects System32? lol

take over my PC but not Minecraft ig

[fresh timber]

minecraft has dlss?

[idle nexus]

actually

apparently yes

I had to manually add minecraft launcher

sorry

I mean the .exe for Minecraft

not the stupid annoying launcher

[fresh timber]

id like a fsr mod

[fresh timber]

useful for shaderpacks that are heavy

[idle nexus]

it already has 2.1.16 apparently

which I can confirm is in the folder

I downloaded latest .dll file for DLSS 4 https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/

[pliant berry]

I kinda want to add create mod to my mc server the new update looks sick. can setup a whole shop and mail system

[fresh timber]

u should see my modpack

createmod+cobblemon

[idle nexus]

but it won't let me replace the file even after I took ownership from Trusted Installer lol

[fresh timber]

i need to add more mods but i dont feel like uploading aupdate

[tranquil pebble]

DRM nonsense

[fierce grove]

chat hows the Noctua NH-D15

[pliant berry]

I try not to add too many mods because it gets complicated

[idle nexus]

I can't give myself permission or something

[fierce grove]

maybe ur user that you are on, is not set as an admin user

[fresh timber]

mincrosfot really htes when u touch their files

[idle nexus]

pretty sure I am

also, how to run File Explorer as admin? lol

[tranquil pebble]

you might be able to bypass this by logging into the Administrator account

[fierce grove]

Press Win + R, type explorer, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open File Explorer as admin.

[wise wigeon]

pixel 9 being 600 at BB rn

[idle nexus]

would this work? lol

[fierce grove]

or u can do what i just typed

it works

[idle nexus]

my idea was borked anyway so hold up lol

[idle nexus]

you: 1
me: 0

lol

[fierce grove]

deed it wark

or naurh

[idle nexus]

ya it did UAC warning

[fierce grove]

thas prattty skibidi

hopefully u can delete those microsoft files

[idle nexus]

I'll say

[fresh timber]

im kinad tempted to raid 1 the usb sticks and run the server off them

[idle nexus]

Destination folder Access denied

[pliant berry]

umm I typically don't recommend it but I have seen some people run server OS' off of thumb drives

[idle nexus]

and with that

I officially don't care anymore heck it

[lone mango]

Main reason I switched is because it has more of that ms office look

You know how some foss programs dont look good

Like you can tell libre office is foss by how it looks

[fresh timber]

Killing usb speed run

[lone mango]

I just like how onlyoffice looks

[fresh timber]

Maybe if backup the mc server off the thumb drive to the internal ssd it would work

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's why I use libreoffice tbh

The aesthetic fits more with my foss layout

I mostly use FOSS these days

Some are closed source but eh

[idle nexus]

I thought flash drives weren't really designed to be constantly read from & written to like regular storage

[tranquil pebble]

that is correct

[fresh timber]

Correct

I will kill it if I run server

[pliant berry]

that is indeed correct

[lone mango]

Is it true that the more flathub apps you download the smaller they are or am i thinking that because the order of apps i downloaded were just smaller in size

[idle nexus]

lol well if you do RAID, get some backups ready ig

[hoary zodiac]

They shouldn't be

[fresh timber]

I need to finish my nas already

[hoary zodiac]

They're all sandboxed so

[fresh timber]

What I want to do is backup my entire 2nd pc to a nas

[idle nexus]

I kinda have a server now

I used my 10700KF as a pihole/serverkinda

I have a 2tb HDD that syncs with my OneDrive so dunno if that counts lol

but I can access it over the network & it's way faster than stinky OneDrive

it was a hecker to get working on Ubuntu tho ngl

[fresh timber]

Backu?

Brain hurt

[idle nexus]

lol same

what?

[fresh timber]

I abuse college account for 1tb

Me upload backup

Me happy

[idle nexus]

I used sambashare on Ubuntu

[fresh timber]

Nice

I just use thumb drives now

Need file somewhere els? USB stick it

[idle nexus]

you gotta use this cuz the onedrive package you get if you do sudo apt-get install onedrive (or whatever I still suck at Linux commands ngl) is really old supposedly https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive

[tight agate]

so exited for thursday, might be able to finish my pc

[lone mango]

Last night when I had minecraft and my server open my virtual ram usage was above 2 gigs, but why is it using the storage when the ram would usually be faster

Is it because of caching?

[idle nexus]

what's left to finish?

[lone mango]

Like in that instance it would be faster because of caching or what

[idle nexus]

lol great. I have to restore default permissions to Program Files

[fresh timber]

ugh

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

im rebooting the 2nd pc again

java wont work

[idle nexus]

cuz now I get some borked nonsense when I try to open crap

[lone mango]

Which version you on

[tight agate]

the graphic card.

Legit that it

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

idfk

[tight agate]

Never add my 7900XTX that I got refund today since 1 month

[fresh timber]

i installed the same verson on gaming pc and 2nd pc

works on gaming

[lone mango]

1.20.1

[sinful blade]

I’ll never mod mc again on pc

[lone mango]

So java 17

[sinful blade]

Curseforge is the biggest headache ever

[fresh timber]

same exact verson works on pc tho

[idle nexus]

oh bananas

[lone mango]

Bro I downloaded prism launcher and it trivializes everything

It so goated

[fresh timber]

i use gd launcher

[idle nexus]

heck gotta restart I think

[lone mango]

Like every version is its own instance which I think means has its own version of java

[idle nexus]

er wait... should do that as admin maybe first

[lone mango]

prism automatically downloads the correct version of java for each instance you have

Cant believe I was doing modding the old way back then

I always thought those launchers were silly

slept on them so hard

[fresh timber]

please just work

[lone mango]

Idk man

I mean I guess because of the current situation

it doesnt even have ddr5 6000

graphics card is probably half the price of that computer

Oh it also says out of stock

[idle nexus]

what are the odds those 83 of 111,979 files keep this borked? lol

heck restarting

any of these worth playing?

[idle nexus]

aren't all of them?

[pliant berry]

well balatro is a chronic addiction for many people I know

[misty sparrow]

second one, fourth one (because it has warhammer on it idk), i liked the seventh one, ninth one because it's sniper elite and might be good

[idle nexus]

the card game??

[pliant berry]

ye

[misty sparrow]

yeah people are surprisingly hooked on balatro

apparently it plays nothing like actual poker

[idle nexus]

sounds like something I should play on my phone tho

[misty sparrow]

basically the Uno Flip of poker

[plucky stratus]

Why are left for dead 2 Xbox discs so expensive lmao

[pliant berry]

I wanted to take a look a avowed, Mostly because I know Venus Theory did the music for it

[misty sparrow]

it's free on game pass so why the hell not play it on PC with a bigger screen

[idle nexus]

I only play stuff on my phone when I I can't use PC

lol why are these updated so heckin frequently

[idle nexus]

I mean me too ig but it seems to need a lot of updates

[lone mango]

I want to find a good linux alternative

[idle nexus]

Linux is an alternative...?

ChromeOS? lol MacOS?

like an alternative Linux distro?

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-burn-letitburn-gif-11493949

try the witcher 3 2015 game ray tracing ON ULTRA

[hoary zodiac]

is anyone good with bios troubleshooting?

[twin laurel]

4060 or rx7600?

[idle nexus]

you can install ChromeOS using Linux Mint. I did it before on an old laptop. I dunno if you can still do it cuz this was many years ago now. However, I can tell you that it's a mission & almost entirely pointless lol

[lone mango]

Maybe

[lone mango]

Damn you were deadass

[hoary zodiac]

guy is bootlooping in #building-and-recc-chat

[lone mango]

I meant an alternative to the clock app

[hoary zodiac]

could use some help

[idle nexus]

how much are you looking to spend because there might be better options tbh

[twin laurel]

under 300 defo

for both @bitter haven and @twin laurel

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=6700+xt&_sacat=0&LH_ItemCondition=3000&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1

actually I'll just post a search link so y'all don't fight over the same gpu

the low end market is absolutely atrocious right now if you buy new

[bitter haven]

I'd love to save money but I'm unsure if the 8gb vram will hold up to newer PC titles

[hoary zodiac]

it's not until the 7800XT where you get only slightly-overpriced

[mortal grail]

It will at 1080p

[hoary zodiac]

6700XTs can be found for $300-$400

[mortal grail]

For quite a while longer

But I would go higher if you can

Don't go hunting 16gb

[twin laurel]

aint nvidia got that program tho

[mortal grail]

Just like, 6700XT

7700XT

[hoary zodiac]

what program?

[mortal grail]

12gb ones are good

[bitter haven]

Yeah 12gb is probably as high as I'd go I'm trying to keep a budget

[hoary zodiac]

how's the 7700XT on the used market tho

new they're practically 7800XT price

it's amazing how the 7800XT is still under $600

[twin laurel]

like their drivers

[hoary zodiac]

eh

[lone mango]

Hahahahahaha

[hoary zodiac]

these days radeon software really isn't a big issue

[hoary zodiac]

wtf that's overpriced as hell

it's an MSI too

💀

[mortal grail]

One of the last decent cards at this very moment

9070 save us

😭

[hoary zodiac]

I'm seeing decently priced used 6700XTs but not 7700XTs

[twin laurel]

Is there a prebuilt w/o a gpu that u can buy seperate?

[hoary zodiac]

what is this market jesus

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

but it'd be pretty hard

to find a higher end prebuilt that also doesn't come with a gpu

and even then you'd get ripped off with the parts

[twin laurel]

im tryna build a pc but idk if parts r gonna work with each other

got any tips for that

[hoary zodiac]

budget for the whole pc?

[lone mango]

yeah and they design the system without having a gpu in mind, like they would put a lower wattage psu and like a 8700g for example

[twin laurel]

650

[hoary zodiac]

looks like we are going am4 lads

[twin laurel]

spent a boatload on all the periplerials

[lone mango]

But if you put a graphics card in that you would get less perf because the g cpus arent as good as the non g cpus

What you would want to look for is a normal system without a graphics card but thats counter intuitive because the point of a prebuilt is to not touch it

[bitter haven]

What brand should I be looking for with an AMD card? Asus?

[hoary zodiac]

not asus

sapphire,xfx,powercolor are generally good

[twin laurel]

yall got any good 650 customs?

[hoary zodiac]

I'm working on it

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

used gpu?

[lone mango]

Someone is getting a good deal

[bitter haven]

👀

[twin laurel]

All off trusted sites

[wary orchid]

how do yk it doesnt have ddr5 6000?

[lone mango]

Says in the listing it has 5600

[wary orchid]

also is backordering that bad

[lone mango]

I guess you could just swap the ram and sell the kit it came with

[wary orchid]

[velvet summit]

since he only does family friendly music, the only way he was able to play this song was through silvagunner https://youtu.be/b9KOLX-p6xk

[wary orchid]

this gotta be better for the extra 100

[lone mango]

I think most of the time it is

But I never backordered before

Just what I have heard

[wary orchid]

wb this

[hoary zodiac]

are you ok with aliexpress?

[velvet summit]

honestly ali is as trustworthy as amazon

which isnt saying much

[lone mango]

Honestly nah

Oh wait for 100 more

Yeah

[storm narwhal]

Amazon arguably is worse

[velvet summit]

but if you trust amazon then you should trust ali

[lone mango]

I thought it was 200 more

[wary orchid]

alr thx

[lone mango]

[velvet summit]

also backordering isnt inheriently bad; all it means is that the retailer is out of stock, of a product that sold out specifically, and is going to be back in stock (this is different from a preorder, which is buying something before the product is made or ready to be sold)

[storm narwhal]

Amazon not moderating platform in any way, selling and recommending products that are inherently faulty and hazardous

[lone mango]

Gahh 5500

Basically a 3600

[hoary zodiac]

does anyone know if it comes with a tray or box cpu

[hoary zodiac]

budget

so

💀

[misty sparrow]

why does it look like there's markings on the screenshot?

[lone mango]

Wait for 150 that is worth

[hoary zodiac]

I've set my windowrule to transparent

[velvet summit]

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JskpDj

first draft

I tried...

what do y'all reckon

[misty sparrow]

it looks strange, like there's smudges on it

[hoary zodiac]

better gpu option?

[misty sparrow]

why would you enable that

[dense locust]

damn you getting the mobo for free?

[velvet summit]

i assume it's a bundle

[misty sparrow]

oh god no

[velvet summit]

(this doesnt explain anything)

[hoary zodiac]

my terminal is transparent

so I made my browser half transparent too

[dense locust]

nono it clearly says free

therefore its free

[velvet summit]

this just makes me feel like i have like cataracts or something

[hoary zodiac]

are we still recommending 5700XTs or

[velvet summit]

afaik still decent value used

[dense locust]

its a bundle so its just the individual items shown here

[hoary zodiac]

eh? sus?

[velvet summit]

only 3 eggs paste 💀

[dense locust]

3 eggs by 1 person

nobody bought it

[sinful blade]

Bad deals

[velvet summit]

wait was cyrofuze the one that one paste that seperated easy by coolermaster

[sinful blade]

$50 delivery for a 2lb item

[dense locust]

they didnt even write a review smh

[sinful blade]

[velvet summit]

iirc there was one coolermaster paste that had bad longevity

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not sure if it's registering my australian address

[velvet summit]

forget what one it was though, might be something else

[hoary zodiac]

oops

just doxxed my postcode

[dense locust]

damn was looking for a 9800x3d bundle on newegg
but all they have is amd gpu bundles

[pliant berry]

alright I got boeings address now

who wants to send him some mail

[tight agate]

Nice

[lone mango]

Send poop package

[hoary zodiac]

I put in a US zip code

[sinful blade]

[hoary zodiac]

[pliant berry]

[dense locust]

[hoary zodiac]

[hoary zodiac]

@twin laurel

[lone mango]

di jit go hard frfr

[hoary zodiac]

gpu might get bought

but other 5700xts will still fit in the budget

[sinful blade]

The one where we all send memes about all the nerds in the chat? That one

[hoary zodiac]

I have no idea what you are talking about

[velvet summit]

[lone mango]

Cloud gets clowned

[hoary zodiac]

huh

[fresh timber]

I SAVED MY CORRUPTED MC WORLD

[hoary zodiac]

wtf is going on with my internet

building wifi sucks

[storm narwhal]

There never was any internet

[lone mango]

Bro how do you not have the 100gb datacenter fiber optic

[hoary zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/australia-flag-gif-gif-27458159

now I'm confused how tf am I chugging with this speed

it feels more like 5mbps

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/3cAZg_zjH4s

[hoary zodiac]

is everyone in the building streaming or something wtf

[dense locust]

[hoary zodiac]

oh

there's the issue

[dense locust]

no i dont know why my upload is so bad

its just how it be

[hoary zodiac]

average isp cashgrab

I wish I could afford a 4G modem so I don't have to put up with this crap

oh are we back?

no still chugging

[fresh timber]

we doing speedtest?

[hoary zodiac]

maybe my mum is streaming a movie off my server from halfway across the world

[wraith fern]

since when are you a techie

why is everyone a techie now

[hoary zodiac]

we bought 1000 theocoin

[fresh timber]

i really should figure out whats eating my upload

[dense locust]

why is your upload so bad lol

its worse than mine

how is that possible

[fresh timber]

idfk man

my isp been messing up for the past few days

they claim to have fixed it

[storm narwhal]

complain more

[fresh timber]

and its fixed again

[storm narwhal]

If even on the one speedtest all ISPs optimize their speeds for it doesn't work

Something's wrong

(It's also why speedtest.net is really not accurate for real world speed tests)

[fresh timber]

i mean

i do get the speedtest results on steam and such

and i can upload at 24mbps when it works

they had infrastucture fail recently, they had a few outages this week and such

[storm narwhal]

My speedtest stuff is higher than what I actually get so

[fresh timber]

i think they finally fixed all of it

[fresh timber]

i think im cpu bottlenecked or something, depending on what i can pull 70MBps or 60MBps on steam

to ollama servers i can pul 70MBps easily

[velvet summit]

my speedtest stuff is also higher than what i actually get as well (though most servers limit upload speed to 1gbps or lower)

[storm narwhal]

I think that's just internet overhead

[velvet summit]

[fresh timber]

steam can do my speeds

[storm narwhal]

Intranet transfers I get 101MB/s

or a little higher

[fresh timber]

speedtest is accurate for me atleast

[storm narwhal]

Truly limited by a gigabit connection there

[fresh timber]

i wish i had gigabit upload

hosting my mc server right now is rough

[velvet summit]

real

[storm narwhal]

Oh so real bro

definitely get those speeds

[velvet summit]

honestly i wouldnt even know
i cant even use up all this bandwidth

💀

my drives are too slow

[fresh timber]

lol i have faster than average speed in my area

[dense locust]

priorites

[hoary zodiac]

you can run a small scale datacenter off it

wtf

[dense locust]

who needs 2.3 gb/s

[hoary zodiac]

depends

[pliant berry]

yes please

[hoary zodiac]

if you self host

343 does

[dense locust]

ok what average person need 2.3gb/s

[hoary zodiac]

so he could use up that bandwidth

if he decides to

[dense locust]

how much does that much speed cost

[velvet summit]

well, i cant because of the contract saying "Reasonable amount of data usage" or whatever or else they may limit your speeds lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

what

that's bs

[dense locust]

funfact at this speed ill use up my datacap in about 30 seconds

[velvet summit]

technially it's supposed to be 3gig but my nic is also too slow for that

[pliant berry]

wait what reasonable amount of data?

[velvet summit]

they also dont say what the cap is before they lower the speed though i havent reached it

[dense locust]

i think its 1.2tb or something i forget

[hoary zodiac]

so reality you don't get what you pay for

if you go over

[dense locust]

1.25 terabytes

[hoary zodiac]

that's a couple games

that's nothing

[storm narwhal]

NAS would be extremely happy

[dense locust]

yes i love datacaps

[pliant berry]

I think the highest usage I had in a month was like 10-13tb

[velvet summit]

price has gone up a bit and now it's currently like 85 or something cad a month?

[hoary zodiac]

💀

wtf

[storm narwhal]

time to install games on NAS so it takes 20 years to load cause they're all HDDs

[dense locust]

this makes me sad

we pay like 50 for ours

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it's fast but still

[dense locust]

and i get 150 up 15 down

[storm narwhal]

Data cap plans should just not exist

[velvet summit]

just note that i was also suffering with terrible isp pricing before they installed fiber like 2 years ago now

[storm narwhal]

They're stupid

[velvet summit]

highest speed was like 40 up 4 down for 65 a month

[dense locust]

i wish so too
every single plan has a datacap

no non datacap plan

love it

[hoary zodiac]

is this an american thing or

region specific isp thing?

[dense locust]

even the highest plan still has a 1.25 tb cap they dont even raise it

[storm narwhal]

lmao

[dense locust]

i love isps

[storm narwhal]

that's not even that much and there's no reason for them to do that nowadays

[velvet summit]

i've been liberated from the terrible internet and now i bask in the glow of high speed internet (that i cant even utilize fully between my drives being too slow and the isp technically disallowing high amounts of data usage which isnt specified and is up to them to decide)

[storm narwhal]

oops, i watched like 8 hours of netflix this month guess I'll die

[dense locust]

they charge like $10 per 50gb over i think

[storm narwhal]

the hell

bruh

[hoary zodiac]

scam?

[dense locust]

isps are a scam yes

[velvet summit]

i've apparently watched like 3tb of youtube in the last month??? i have not downloaded anything

[storm narwhal]

Oh scam for sure but you're forced into it

[velvet summit]

what unemployment does to a mf

[hoary zodiac]

i hate how telcoms have monopolies

[fresh timber]

meeeeee

[pliant berry]

I think the caps are stupid. and you can easily use more than that. on average I use like 1.5-2tb a month lol

[storm narwhal]

Oh yeah easily

esp if you're not alone

[fresh timber]

lol

[fresh timber]

we pay for moer than a 1.5tb cap

[storm narwhal]

if you share with people or it's a family home you can easily go past it

[dense locust]

hmm i guess maybe you can add it?

[fresh timber]

typicly 1.5b is enough, but theirs months where i use alot of data

[dense locust]

[storm narwhal]

Unused does not roll over 💀

[hoary zodiac]

scam +1

[fresh timber]

o god

[storm narwhal]

Doesn't even China's phone cards all have data rollover or something

[hoary zodiac]

depends on how scummy it is

I know Australia has rollover

[storm narwhal]

Oh I see

yeah I just heard it from a friend

[hoary zodiac]

but yeah literally most of the world's providers have rollover

there are bad apples everywhere

[storm narwhal]

Like it's a super normal thing

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

the data still capped

just non linearly

and the customer has the option to pay more for extra data

[velvet summit]

20gb of youtube (and a bit of rtings and such) in the past 24 hours ong

[dusk knot]

[storm narwhal]

[rancid juniper]

[dusk knot]

I mean yeah that's AMD for you what's new

[rancid juniper]
