why are humans so fragile

[storm narwhal]

Also speaking of doom, when Tony hawk pro skater 3+4 remake showcased doom guy skin, some bozos called it woke?

at this point i cant say if they're trolling or actually dumb

😂

[mortal grail]

Ye

But that fan does help

Like unironically so much

It's still the best trash connector implementation

The gaming OC 4090 also has a fan underneath it

[fresh timber]

uhhh

[mortal grail]

But it's offset

[fresh timber]

why cant they make it so the gpu shuts off if its pulling too mcuh from other pins

[mortal grail]

Good question

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDolGQkrAU8

ofc it would run well

it's a 10+ year old game

[fresh timber]

My rx6600 system raytraces this game fine

30-40fps

If I lighten it I could get 60 easily

[elfin mural]

legacy edition runs much better tho

[fresh timber]

I’m ngl

I can’t tell

Both does 100+fps if I don’t rt

[elfin mural]

ye

but you lose like a ton of fps

[fresh timber]

I need to bench again

I swore my 7700xt system struggled past 100fps on legacy

[elfin mural]

the 1630 gets 150 fps or so in legacy

[fresh timber]

Oh

[elfin mural]

minimum settings 1080p

[fresh timber]

Oh that’s why

Lmfao

[elfin mural]

it drops down to 100 in enhanced

[fresh timber]

I mean it’s enhanced kek

Ima test my gpu Tommrow

[elfin mural]

i guess

thing is it doesn't look any better

[fresh timber]

7700xt go brrr

[elfin mural]

unless you turn on rt

which is funny

[fresh timber]

lol

I turn it on, main system can pull 100 fps

[elfin mural]

no idea what rockstar did

but the game is heavier

[fresh timber]

It’s fine

It’s not like we can’t pull good fps anyways

[elfin mural]

true

[fresh timber]

I can test the differences Tommrow on my main system

If I’m not cooked after school that is

[elfin mural]

it's still very easy to run

[fresh timber]

If a rx6600 can raytrace it so can you

Not like you can’t play legacy anymore

[elfin mural]

tru

[fresh timber]

Same exact game

Kek

I’m ready for gta6

I got my ps5 just for it

[elfin mural]

oh so you can still play online too with legacy

meh i won't upgrade then

i already get dips as low as like 55 fps at times

[storm narwhal]

Imagine they release the ps6 before gta6

[fresh timber]

Bruh

I’m running maxed out graphics 1440p 😭😭

No upscaling

[fresh timber]

lol

If gta 6 runs 30-40fps on ps5 I will buy ps5 pro

[storm narwhal]

💀 💀

Its barely better

[elfin mural]

why even use upscaling for my case tbh

if the game is gonna run worse

im on 1080p

[storm narwhal]

They just added racing stripes and jacked the price for the pro

[elfin mural]

i think it might have something to do with my ram, or just my gpu being a bottleneck

all i got is a 4050 after all

gotta set my expectations straight

[rancid juniper]

GTA 6 on pc will defintely use Framegen on by default

[fresh timber]

Better enough

[elfin mural]

cuz it benches like a 1080

[rancid juniper]

jkjk

[elfin mural]

just with way less vram

[misty sparrow]

PS5 Pro is basically the equivalent of having two similar CPU models, except one is capable of doing slightly more than the other

[elfin mural]

and yeah less bus width

[storm narwhal]

Not really

[fresh timber]

Is it slower than a rx6600

[elfin mural]

very much so

[storm narwhal]

Have you seen any reviews?

[elfin mural]

it's only as fast as 1080 desktop

lol

[fresh timber]

Yes,

[storm narwhal]

Couple fps faster

Amazing

[fresh timber]

Depends on titles, some can gain a stable 60fps now

[rancid juniper]

PS5 Pro ain't worth the jump if you already own a PS5

like at all

[fresh timber]

If it means gta 6 runs better

[storm narwhal]

That's not an achievement

[rancid juniper]

at 30fps you mean

1440p

[misty sparrow]

it's barely gonna run better because it's mostly a CPU upgrade, not a GPU one

they don't upgrade GPU at all

[fresh timber]

If it runs 30fps I will revolt

[rancid juniper]

That CPU gonna hold it back

[storm narwhal]

It will run 30fps

[rancid juniper]

just you wait

[storm narwhal]

Dont worry

[fresh timber]

If it runs 30fps I’m selling my ps5

[misty sparrow]

actually i think i got it the other way around

[fresh timber]

I’m not playing 30fps slop

[misty sparrow]

it upgrades GPU but not CPU

[misty sparrow]

it probably will let's face it

[storm narwhal]

In your own words

[fresh timber]

If it does I’m not buying

[rancid juniper]

i know rockstar wants to flex their NPC advanced pathfinding and such

[storm narwhal]

Only some titles run 60fps even on the pro

[rancid juniper]

its gonna be taxing af on the CPU

[fresh timber]

Better than non pro kek

[misty sparrow]

No, all the frames are gonna get lost in the club if you know what I mean

[storm narwhal]

Think about what that means for newer games

[fresh timber]

Ps5 pro gpu is close to my damn desktop,

[rancid juniper]

bruh LOL

[misty sparrow]

Game begins, people immediately drive to the club

[storm narwhal]

If it can just manage 60fps now

How will it handle newer games

[misty sparrow]

that's probably what im gonna do, just go there, see stuff in the club, then refund the game

[fresh timber]

Monster wilds 🙂

Alr sucks

Theirs a reason my ps5 is a YouTube watching machine only

[misty sparrow]

i don't mind 30FPS if the game doesn't feel sluggish at 30FPS

i know lots of games that feel smooth on 30

[rancid juniper]

if the frametimes are super flat then yea 30fps is viable

[fresh timber]

I was playing 30fps gta in my ps5 and I’m ngl, I never uninstalled a game super fast

Choppy asf

[rancid juniper]

bro would explode if he played one title on the base PS4

[misty sparrow]

you ever consider that it may be a you problem?

i played all my stuff on base PS4 back then

[fresh timber]

How

[misty sparrow]

i can tolerate 30

[fresh timber]

Theirs a difference, that was acceptable back then

I have a ps4 too

I grew up

[misty sparrow]

okay then lmao

[rancid juniper]

i mean to each their own, after getting hit with high refreshrates its hard to go back

[misty sparrow]

if it pushes graphics really good and plays well i can see why it will push 30

[fresh timber]

Lmfao my displays freesync doesn’t even go to 30fps

[misty sparrow]

in my opinion the standard shouldn't be 30FPS, it should be 40FPS

some games set it to that when VRR is turned on

[rancid juniper]

like if im running a game at 30fps the resolution has GOT to be atleast 4K or above to justify

[fresh timber]

Id love to see a setting that lowers graphics in favor for higher fps, spiderman did that

[misty sparrow]

pretty sure they said it won't happen

[fresh timber]

Darn, flop

Goin wait for pc port

[misty sparrow]

I'm gonna buy it just for the club

[rancid juniper]

least sus GTA 6 player

[fresh timber]

I’m so glad I swapped to pc

Real fps

240Hz!!

[misty sparrow]

At least I don't watch anime, have you seen those people?

"People" in quotation marks

[rancid juniper]

💀

[fresh timber]

Not

My friends uncle would play gta at their house, iv never seen somebody get ddosed so often

[misty sparrow]

They're probably skinwalkers who simp for every anime girl they see on screen

[fresh timber]

It got so bad I had to help them vpn the ps4

Side note, amd beats the 5080

9070xt faster than 5080!!

[storm narwhal]

I

Yes

[fresh timber]

Yes

[storm narwhal]

More vram helps with the ai

[fresh timber]

5080 and 9070xt have the same amount

[storm narwhal]

Nvidia anemic with 12gb

[fresh timber]

Yeah

I’m suprised the 7900xt is slower even with its 20 gig

[storm narwhal]

Architecture

[fresh timber]

7900xt prob can run bigger models

[fresh timber]

I have a feeling rdna4 is faster than Blackwell but AMD isn’t doing higher end sooo

[sweet phoenix]

This is basically what nvidia wanted 16 series to be

A generation focused on efficiency and value

[fresh timber]

I used to have a 1660 super

My friend uses it now and it’s still a good gpu

[rancid juniper]

man the 16 series did not last

lmfao

only like 4 cards or sum?

[sweet phoenix]

I've got a 1650 in my emulation pc

I paid $210 for it on amazon for my friends pc during the shortage

Now they have a $90 5700xt (that I also paid for but we'll ignore that)

[rancid juniper]

Nvidia give us GTX 1690 ti

A very expensive paper weight, well 5090 is more but you get the point

[wise wigeon]

dude really is spoiled rotten

[fresh timber]

What, I have standards and 30fps is poo

Just use a ps4

I saved for years to buy my pc to escape

[storm narwhal]

Buys a ps5 just for YouTube and one game

[wise wigeon]

you know a ps4 barely had a consistent 30-40 fps for mh world right?

[fresh timber]

Ngl I only played need for speed and Fortnite in it

[fresh timber]

Yuh

[rancid juniper]

imagine if switch 2 came with crazy fps numbers, imagine the minds it can ruin after that

they could never go back to 30fps

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fresh timber]

Fr

[wise wigeon]

there are games at 60 fps already

[fresh timber]

The switch 2 seems to be around steam deck

[rancid juniper]

i know that

[wise wigeon]

the vast majority just run at 30

[fresh timber]

How many? Like 5

[rancid juniper]

but we talkin fps at like 90 or above

[fresh timber]

I tried Fortnite and apex, hell even Mario kart 4 player.. rip

I emulate switch now, easy 60

[wise wigeon]

ik smash at least is one of them

[fresh timber]

Smash, and Mario kart are the only switch games I care for now ngl

They don’t run like poo most the time

[wise wigeon]

doom 3 apparently lol

skyward sword

[fresh timber]

Ima jailbreak my switch later and turn it into a game streaming box

[wise wigeon]

splatoon

[fresh timber]

Best game ever

I’ll litterlry buy a new switch just for it

I love solatoon

[rancid juniper]

any console that doesn't allow you to add themes to your home start menu is garbage

[wise wigeon]

minecraft, i think most sidescroller mario games

[rancid juniper]

i rest my case

[fresh timber]

Minecraft on switch lowkey sucks

[wise wigeon]

so like all of the current gen?

[rancid juniper]

yes

[fresh timber]

Just play it on your phone or something

[fresh timber]

Ps5 has themes

I use the retro theme

[wise wigeon]

not good ones like the ps4

[fresh timber]

True

[wise wigeon]

the persona ones were pretty good

[rancid juniper]

is playstation still keeping them?

[rancid juniper]

i remember that

[fresh timber]

Idk

Idc about the themes that much, I just load an app

[storm narwhal]

[storm narwhal]

I'd just save their money on the console

[fresh timber]

I’m ngl, the ps5 just appeared at my door

[storm narwhal]

Cause it'd not be worth paying for if my PC does the same thing

[fresh timber]

I didn’t even ask

[storm narwhal]

Ohh

[fresh timber]

My dads weird

[storm narwhal]

Okay thats fair enough

[fresh timber]

Yeah, I just say I bought it cause yuh

Now he regrets it and ask if we should sell it

[wise wigeon]

I bought one because I had disposable income and sony was like ayo? you want to buy one?

[fresh timber]

Nah bud, it’s my YouTube machine now

[wise wigeon]

and in the end it was my jrpg machine

[fresh timber]

I can’t buy poop after my prom tickets

I gotta wait for my checks to come

[wise wigeon]

but also like it was the reason i tried monster hunter lol

[fresh timber]

Why does the game feel so blurry

And the keybinds are soo weird in keyboard

[wise wigeon]

?

[fresh timber]

Buttons I press don’t do what I think they do

Like combat related stuff

[wise wigeon]

skill issue?

[fresh timber]

It’s a keyboard problem

It’s prob better in controller

Seems like a controller game

[wise wigeon]

its a controller game but people def play on mkb

[fresh timber]

Pain

[wise wigeon]

its like souls games

[fresh timber]

But why does the graphics lowkey suck

[fresh timber]

Never played a souls ngl

[wise wigeon]

built around controller mkb slapped on

[fresh timber]

The game feels blurry to me

[storm narwhal]

I think monster hunter wilds is a controller game

[wise wigeon]

thats on you ngl

[wise wigeon]

all monster hunters

[fresh timber]

I load in and idk, looking far is just weird

[storm narwhal]

Crank some settings

[fresh timber]

It feels like my glasses are off

[wise wigeon]

i'd stream my game but i was taking a short break

also the area i just got too is grey and foggy

[fresh timber]

Yeah I’m not tripping

Alot of people agree it’s blurry

[rancid juniper]

they said that for the previous game (MH: world)

[fresh timber]

Lmfao

[rancid juniper]

FXAA + TAA

yuck

[fresh timber]

I just wanna be able to look far and it be as clear as my monitor allows

New meme unlocked

[rancid juniper]

CAN IT RUN WILDS???

😳

[fresh timber]

I’ll buy when I can pull more than 40fps kek

[wise wigeon]

i mean i could stream if but i'm in a part where i'm talking to people and exploreing a oil town

[wise wigeon]

thats on your cpu

[fresh timber]

A 13600kf bottlenecking 7700xt confirmed

[wise wigeon]

oh you swapped the gpu over?

i mean i'm watching beta footage of a guy getting 90-100+ with frame gen on high

[fresh timber]

Main system 13600kf 7700xt, second system, 5500 rx6600, 3rd system 2300x no gpu

2nd system gets 7700xt when I travel

And when I’m bored

But hey, the game doesn’t crash like spiderman

[wise wigeon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoTW-z6fNBc

dunno what drops are like in a fight

[fresh timber]

He’s pulling that fps at 1080p

No wonder mines worst, I’m 1440p

Also no wonder they recommend frame gen

[wise wigeon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NJhFRVBbs8

1440p

korean dude with a 7700xt and a 5600x

pretty sure it has frame gen

cant read korean though

[fresh timber]

Can’t tell if this is YouTube compression or not but this is what I mean by blurry

I should sleep

It’s 12

i mean i guess the 4k textures came out at launch

GOOD NIGHT FRIENDS

SAY GOOD JIGHT OR ILL BITE

[wise wigeon]

good jight

[fresh timber]

ugh the AIO in the 2nd system is buggin, I can hear the pump make like a sound like the bios decided to make it run too low of a rpm

I hate Msi bios making it difficult to set 100% fan speed

Ok good night

[worn wave]

Modern games: here, we undersampled all the effects so you'll need TAA or they'll break. Oh and since it's not true native res anymore and has temporal artifacting we might as well reccomend you use an upscaler for a performance boost (it'll still have less detail in motion than true native res). Oh and uhh this game is actually extra demanding because we made it look 15% more realistic than the last one but don't know how to optimize, so you'll want to make some fake frames to get a smooth experience

[wise wigeon]

wait was november really 4 months ago already

christ

[elfin mural]

ye

it has been

pretty sure this is towards modern gaming in general but

that fur is so 2008

[wise wigeon]

this some bf2 level of foliage

they put more effort in character and monster models

[wise wigeon]

the left is world and the right is mh rise

pretty detailed for switch

[rancid juniper]

ok thats funny af

[worn wave]

thank you

[elfin mural]

can we

settle with same graphics as before

but add rt?

pls

is it that difficult

[wise wigeon]

?

[elfin mural]

im just speaking about games in general

[wise wigeon]

rt aint gonna fix a lot of games

[elfin mural]

the general trend it's going is blurry taa

i know

[worn wave]

I mean that's what nvidia remix or whatever it's called is supposed to do

[elfin mural]

but why push rt when the image is blurry as all hell

why go for extra fidelity when you start with a blurry smeary ghosting taa frame generated mess

[worn wave]

cause it's very expensive to do RT, volumetric particles, etc

[elfin mural]

true

that's why i don't want rt

at least not yet

not in 10 years

[wise wigeon]

thats really on the devs

[elfin mural]

i'd blame on the publishers

[worn wave]

I will say, while I love to hate on smearing in movement, the DLSS transformer model is a huge leap in that regard

[elfin mural]

yeah

i mean i agree

im all for more image clarity

[wise wigeon]

hoping amd does some fine wine with fsr 4

or at least gets more games on fsr4

[worn wave]

Right now it's about equal in quality to DLSS CNN model, with a slightly harder perf hit

[elfin mural]

at least fsr will be driver based now

i think

cuz it begins to auto update now

[wise wigeon]

to get fsr4 forced it needs to be a fsr3 supported game

[elfin mural]

ofc

amd just needs to get fsr3 in more games

[wise wigeon]

iirc dlss4 just needs 2 support to force it

[elfin mural]

ya

it just needs dlss 2

[wise wigeon]

man now that ublock is ded i forget how bad ads are on pc

radeon reddit is flooded with aib prices from around the world

search rx-97 on BB

man

this blows

if this is what its gonna be its MSRP or bust

[nocturne flicker]

Hey, at least the overpriced models have that terrible looking RGB strip on it, so nobody'll buy them. Surely

[tight agate]

I meaned which you got to to see the coming soons

[wise wigeon]

the mercs for the xtx wer only 100 more than msrp at a 1k msrp

and BB pretty much only sells xfx

what does this mean BB? what does this mean?

[nocturne flicker]

We wanted to upcharge it to 729.99, but XFX requested we honor MSRP temporarily 😊

We'll raise it to $850 in a week 😊

[wise wigeon]

so this was the real price then

[nocturne flicker]

Says 'deal' ends tomorrow

So that means they'll probably jack it up to that

[tight agate]

Can I have the link, can't find it on BB

[wise wigeon]

search rx-97

[wise wigeon]

on the BB site buddy

[tight agate]

It best buy...

[wise wigeon]

search rx-97 on the best buy search bar

[tight agate]

Or I am a dummy

[wise wigeon]

not google

go into the best buy site

and search there

if you dont see it might not be up but on my end this is what I see in the US

[tight agate]

Ok, next?

[wise wigeon]

thats just a screenshot from me

[tight agate]

Yeah, well I guess I can't access it

[wise wigeon]

might not be up on canadian

[tight agate]

Ah

Make sense

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, it'll be MSRP for maybe an hour and then go to $20 less than the white model

[wise wigeon]

no way AMD clutches defeat while at the finish line

[nocturne flicker]

I can see it now. Steve going on a 45 minute rant about AMD blowing it

I eagerly await the blast

[wise wigeon]

AMD please

I beg you

dont let the meme be real

[tight agate]

I am suppost to get the one from aorus

[nocturne flicker]

The meme is always real

[wise wigeon]

because if this happens its waaaaay worse than fake MSRP from nvidia

[tight agate]

Oof

[wise wigeon]

because this and them talking to creators gave us hope

and then poof

which is way worse than going in knowing MSRP is a lie and stock is bad

because they hyped up supply

and the price

[sinful blade]

Get this one

I should be asleep
It’s 3 am

[restive reef]

hi everybody im new to this server

[sinful blade]

Welcome

We hope you enjoy it

It’s kinda nice sometimes

[restive reef]

quick question i got recommended this server so that i can learn to edit videos

is this the right server for that?

my dreams to edit and become a youtuber

but i gotta learn how

[sinful blade]

Not quite

We can help you find the parts to make a streaming computer
But guides on YouTube will help far more than we do

[restive reef]

oh ok

well

could you tell me the best type of laptop/ computer i could buy to edit?

[sinful blade]

What’s your budget?

[restive reef]

my price range would be idk give or take 1200

[sinful blade]

Okay.
USD?

[restive reef]

yea usd

[sinful blade]

Lemme cook a quick list

[restive reef]

id love that

would you mind shooting it to my dms?

so i dont have to keep looking back

id appreciate it

[wise wigeon]

@tight agate

loos like it lines up on the canadian side

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WkntNz
@restive reef I don’t use dms unless it’s important, apologies

Probably not the most optimized list

But someone else can do better that isn’t half asleep

[restive reef]

well i appreciate you

im gonna take a ss of this and get to work

[wise wigeon]

ill fix up a list

how much storage do you need

[restive reef]

1 thing i will say is id have to watcha video on how to set this up lmao

uhh

just enough for youtube videos tbh

ill be editing and recording

and posting them

[wise wigeon]

like idk what kind of stuff you'll be making so idk what kinda space you need

like different vids will have different sizes

[sinful blade]

4TB is usually the minimum

[wise wigeon]

6800xt still available?

[sinful blade]

Short form content that is

[sinful blade]

Used

[wise wigeon]

ah

[sinful blade]

$400-450 on eBay

[wise wigeon]

i was just asking because the only card around that performance i can think of new is the 7800xt

but thats like 500-550 rn, i mean it comes with monstetr hunter so if you were gonna buy that anyway its ok but not a good price rn

[opaque sedge]

… (I am def not looking at my 4070super’s microcenter warranty and the driver update page…def not)

[mortal grail]

Shoulda kept that 7900xt

[wise wigeon]

you see those merc price?

hmm yeah couldn't really hit 1200 without a used like 6800xt

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JCPXh7

[mortal grail]

Swift looks ok

[wise wigeon]

if it stays that price

that "deal ends in 24 hours worries me"

[mortal grail]

Cos retailers had a $50 rebate

They're literally giving the launch cards away at msrp

Retailers are making basically nothing

[wise wigeon]

soooo fake msrp

[tight agate]

Working live

[mortal grail]

Quite possible yea

[tight agate]

At 3am

[wise wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/crashout-skeleteon-skeleton-meme-skeleteton-crashout-screaming-gif-2819917983570648755

[mortal grail]

But that makes this a chance you can't miss

[wise wigeon]

honestly worse than nvidia fake msrp at least we all knew it was happening and coming

[mortal grail]

610 9070 cards in one MC store man

[wise wigeon]

i cant drive 4 hours to microcenter unfortunately

[mortal grail]

They have stock unlike nvidia

Lol

[mortal grail]

But you can order a 9070xt quite readily

People are gonna camp the hell outta this

[wise wigeon]

i'm betting on wegg i guess

because pulse

not really vibing with what xfx is dealing now

also BB only really sells xfx cards

amazon is def a crapshoot

[mortal grail]

Honestly the xfx cards look better irl

The pics do zero justice

Like the 3rd generation where they can't make the cards look nice in promo lmao

The rgb is completely hidden on those cards, they somehow managed to emboss a light bar into a completely solid colour shroud

[wise wigeon]

its less that more i'm not vibing with the upcharge for other models

is centrecom big in aussie land?

[mortal grail]

Not really much different to what a brand like asus does

MSI

Oh wow did I really just forget like every other aib for nvidia

[wise wigeon]

wasnt going for a tuf anyway

[mortal grail]

Wtf

[wise wigeon]

aint msi ditch amd?

[mortal grail]

They did

Their last cards were garbage

Like total garbage

[wise wigeon]

hoping this is just a fluke for ya'lls end https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1j4qu0c/centrecom_australia_wide_pc_store_9070xt_prices/

[mortal grail]

HAH

If it's that much I'm hard skipping

[wise wigeon]

is centrecom a major store?

[mortal grail]

ROFLMAO

[mortal grail]

One of the big ones

1500 forget it

You can literally buy a gre for 899

Why the hell would I buy a 1500 9070

You could buy XTX FOR 1400

[wise wigeon]

when its only like 30% ahead

[mortal grail]

What a joke

[wise wigeon]

welp odds of me keeping this xtx just increased

[mortal grail]

If that's actually the price I'm done with buying gpus for the next 8 years here

[wise wigeon]

lets hope its not

[mortal grail]

I can literally ask a friend to buy one in US and ship it to me for less than that

[wise wigeon]

fr

how much is the usual TUF overcharge rn

[mortal grail]

I hope the consumer watchdog catches that dumb stunt live

[mortal grail]

I'd expect 750

[wise wigeon]

because i'me seeing 960 euro for italy

[mortal grail]

Asus is not gonna be a good pick this gen

[wise wigeon]

was it ever that good

[mortal grail]

Gaming oc or pulse for best msrp cards it looks like

[mortal grail]

Yes the tuf xtx was great

They had strix top too

[wise wigeon]

ik it was a chonker

lemme set up both my cards for BB and wegg

if i can get one at 600-maybe 700 great but

over 700 is a hard sell

[mortal grail]

He so right tho

I would buy for that price

1500 forget it

[wise wigeon]

arent reapers also msrp models

1200 is a smidge above msrp assuming you have a fat VAT

[mortal grail]

10% GST so 1069 approx.

But shipping to location in bulk

1150 to 1200 is actually ok

1500 they're milking us and they won't bloody sell

[wise wigeon]

i mean desperate people

but yeah 1500 is 950 usd

[mortal grail]

XTX here 3 months ago was $1399 AUD

So yeah no, that price ain't happening

@wise wigeon apparently the best way to get msrp here is a powercolour reaper

[tight agate]

Hm

[mortal grail]

Whoa ok apparently the reaper stays quite cold

Ok

I have a plan B

[wise wigeon]

no xfx merc now huh

[mortal grail]

This is actually great

Ok ima watch for reaper then

[wise wigeon]

looks decent

[worthy meteor]

9070xt coolers are really big in general for some reason

[frigid stag]

How is ti super faster than the 4080 super

[worthy meteor]

most of them are extra tall triple slot designs

[wise wigeon]

some reason?

[frigid stag]

They’re meant to be 15 -20% slower

[wise wigeon]

its a a 300-350w card

[mortal grail]

Cos it's not speed

It's temp and sound

Lmao

[wise wigeon]

lmao

[frigid stag]

My bad

[mortal grail]

I could hear that pause

[frigid stag]

I thought it was fps lmao

[worthy meteor]

as in bigger than some 5080s, which have a higher tdp lol

[frigid stag]

I’m tired ok

[mortal grail]

"Wait a minute"

Lmfao

[wise wigeon]

5080 tdp is overshot

[worthy meteor]

I'm mainly still thinking of 3090 sizes, which are quite a bit smaller for a higher tdp

[wise wigeon]

its like 325 with a pretty fat OC on HUBs end

[mortal grail]

Ok so I'm watching for a reaper ig

[frigid stag]

I didn’t read it I just saw numbers that sorta aligned with how they perform

[mortal grail]

I could dig a powercolor

[frigid stag]

Taichi looks nice

[mortal grail]

Pulse, reaper, gaming oc, pure, quicksilver, nitro

[wise wigeon]

16 pin

[mortal grail]

16pin

[wise wigeon]

and i trust asrock less than sapphire

[frigid stag]

Pulse is cheap at least

[wise wigeon]

for a msrp model i would hope so

[frigid stag]

I think I’ll just get xtx for under 900 for now

And see if I keep it

[wise wigeon]

you can get one for under 900?

[frigid stag]

If something better shows up I’ll return

[frigid stag]

Barely under 900

[mortal grail]

Given the numbers 9070 xt looks way better

[frigid stag]

Local store has some and I know one guy who has a new one still

[wise wigeon]

must be nice

[frigid stag]

Well it’s not a high end model

It’s a merc iirc

[mortal grail]

That is high end what

Thats class 1 vbios and binned

It's the cheap high end one

Also

[wise wigeon]

merc is highest end xfx

[frigid stag]

Is it?

[wise wigeon]

yes lol

[worthy meteor]

Nitro + 9070 is 330.8 x 128.5 x 65.68 for 245w tbp
5080 FE is 304 x 137 x 40 for 360w tbp
granted a bit biased since they're using the same design for 9070 and 9070xt and aib 5080s get much bigger, but still, these are quite beefy for the tbp compared to Nvidia's higher tbp

[mortal grail]

I own one I know my own card lmfao

[frigid stag]

I thought high end were like the taichi, nitro, Red Devil etc

[mortal grail]

It clocks better than my nitro

[wise wigeon]

for xfx

[mortal grail]

Merc has the best bins

[frigid stag]

Ngl I just thought that based on the cooler design

The rest are more flashy

[wise wigeon]

its much thicker in person

[mortal grail]

Merc has the highest vbios apart from aqua

And also asic binning

[wise wigeon]

it was the one i had to return

[frigid stag]

Merc310?

[mortal grail]

Xfx was known for stupidly low asic bins (lower is better) for xtx

Yes

Merc310

[wise wigeon]

yes lol

[frigid stag]

Ye same one then

[mortal grail]

You are vastly undervaluing a merc rn lmao

But even then the 9070xt trumps that for value by a mile

[wise wigeon]

tahts what it looks like in the case

[frigid stag]

Nice

[mortal grail]

Red devil was worse than merc

[wise wigeon]

i dont have it anymore

[mortal grail]

Lower vbios tdp

LD was better than merc

[frigid stag]

🗒️ noted

[mortal grail]

RD worse

You could ch341a an RD but it wasn't always successful

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail never got around to asking

That’s just cosmetic right?

[mortal grail]

Normal

I know what its about

The missing finger

Normal

Lmao

It's not terribly noisy but it is louder than others

[wise wigeon]

Limite it to 60%

[mortal grail]

It'll run just fine if you use it properly

[wise wigeon]

It’s louder at high speeds

[mortal grail]

3.4K rpm fans lmao

[wise wigeon]

Not evga loud though

[mortal grail]

Evga brrrrr

[wise wigeon]

If I could get a merc for 900 I would

But alas not in the cards

[mortal grail]

Go get a 9070xt for msrp man

[wise wigeon]

Didn’t get a free copy of the olds either

[mortal grail]

Like fr it's such a good buy

[wise wigeon]

Ik I’m just saying

[mortal grail]

Literally giving them away tonight

I'm hyped af

[wise wigeon]

If I coulda have gotten the xfx at that price

At the time

trying to get it because its similar performance at a much lower price

[mortal grail]

Reaper actually got me hyped a bit

[wise wigeon]

but i aint buying no $850 xt

[mortal grail]

Those temps are crazy good for the tdp

I was shocked

[wise wigeon]

arent they all real low

[frigid stag]

If I can get one but xtx seems better tbh

[wise wigeon]

In general the Easter is close enough

Raster*

[frigid stag]

The vram and bandwidth though

[wise wigeon]

24gb of vram is nice, not $300 nice

[mortal grail]

Damnnnn

[mortal grail]

Not 300 better

50% more money for not 50% more value

[wise wigeon]

Wdym finger

[frigid stag]

1k for a xtx pulse 😦

[mortal grail]

The gold finger

[wise wigeon]

I meant the scuffed pcb

[mortal grail]

No way

[frigid stag]

Ye that’s way too much

[mortal grail]

Oh that's also fine

[wise wigeon]

yeah uh way too much

[mortal grail]

I always get asked about the gold pcie fingers

Lol

[frigid stag]

They were below 800 a month or 2 ago lol

[wise wigeon]

Dunno what people are thinking

Ahahaha

[wise wigeon]

Not really

Just the pulse

[mortal grail]

830 is the lowest I recall

That was pulse or merc

[wise wigeon]

Maybe Black Friday

[wise wigeon]

Pulse

[mortal grail]

7900xt got to 615 at its lowest

That was black friday ye

[wise wigeon]

Different card though

Xtx is not a xt

[mortal grail]

Pg, pulse and merc all bounced around the lowest price

[wise wigeon]

Think I saw $650

[mortal grail]

Ik but xtx at it's lowest was about 830

[wise wigeon]

But never lower than that for a xt

[mortal grail]

I was asked to find this a few weeks ago

It was def $615

[wise wigeon]

Think there were hellhounds for like 780

But microcenter only I think

[frigid stag]

Well can’t find Red Devil xtx

[wise wigeon]

merc and puls better

[mortal grail]

@wise wigeon

[frigid stag]

Might try get 9070 red devil

[mortal grail]

620

I remembered slightly off

But def existed

[wise wigeon]

thats gotta be like 800 bro

if a merc is 850

though i guess a nitro was like 730 or 750

[frigid stag]

Bruh

[mortal grail]

Oh I didn't know this but for like a day the merc310 was $788

[wise wigeon]

you thought you were getting the premium model for 600?

[mortal grail]

Ok so I was wrong for 1 day lol

[wise wigeon]

welp i should get some sleep

gotta wake up in like 4.5 hours for launch

[mortal grail]

Ok you had the hellhound for 800 for 3 days

Merc310 for 788 for 1 day

But every other time 820 minimum

I must've missed both or forgot

I vaguely recall the hellhound one now

[wise wigeon]

ahahahhaah

no remorse

[frigid stag]

[mortal grail]

Oh wow ok, the prime and swift are not terrible either

I misjudged those coolers

Amd bois are up to something with these 2 slot cards

[frigid stag]

Any 3 slots?

[mortal grail]

Guess I play it by ear and I'll aim for a pulse but anything else will do

[mortal grail]

Gaming oc is msrp

I'm honestly tempted by the gaming oc

[wise wigeon]

Gigabyte cards do look good

[frigid stag]

The design looks kinda weird

With those angled corners

[mortal grail]

They aren't bad at all if you use a support

[mortal grail]

3x8 and thick card tho

My only concern is bins will suck

GB never bins crap

Swift and pulse lowkey looking like the best rn

[wise wigeon]

That’s def at least 800

[mortal grail]

Reaper could also be nice

Guess I gotta wait for prices

It's different here

How long is the swift

[dense locust]

Everyone: “amd you got a win!”
Amd: “no wait! I can still mess this up”

[frigid stag]

800?

[mortal grail]

YO SWIFT FITS IN NORTH

[wise wigeon]

Aorus is their top line buddy

[mortal grail]

YOOOO

[wise wigeon]

You already bought the north?

[mortal grail]

Nope but want to

[tight agate]

(Going to get hated by mods)
Huh. You guys sure the aorus elite good?

[mortal grail]

Here it wouldn't be terrible at the right price

In US GB warranties suck so I wouldn't

In AU they are ok

[tight agate]

And CA?

[mortal grail]

Same distribution probably

[tight agate]

(Asking to many questions)

[wise wigeon]

Got an alert for a 1200 7900xtx on wegg lol

[wise wigeon]

Depends on price lol

[mortal grail]

Ahhh I really hope the xfx swift is msrp

I will snipe that

SO FAST

[frigid stag]

2 gpu setup?

[tight agate]

I really need to listen to a tutoriel on what everything means...

[mortal grail]

Wym i have like 8

[frigid stag]

Based

[mortal grail]

Brother I got a gpu for every day

And one extra for friends on weekends

[frigid stag]

I thought u sold them

[mortal grail]

I sold a lot of them

I still have more

[frigid stag]

Ah

[mortal grail]

Tomorrow is friday so friday game night is 6900XT night

Tonight is tiring so gtx 1650 lp night

[mortal grail]

You'll love coming over on rx 6600 Wednesdays

It used to be 6700xt wednesdays but I moved on

[frigid stag]

which day is 4090

[mortal grail]

Summer sundays

[frigid stag]

Nice nice

[mortal grail]

I need to feel the sweat beading off my back

[tight agate]

Summer. Prefer winter

[mortal grail]

That'll be winter sundays with 9070 xt

[tight agate]

Nice

[dense locust]

Well I’m glad I got my 5080 early even if I overpaid
I don’t have to deal with these over inflated prices that somehow keep rising

[mortal grail]

Fr tho I just have a bunch cos I used to buy to mess with them

I am slowly selling them off

And have I learned my lesson - no

I'm getting a 9070 cos I can

Lmao

[tight agate]

I hope you can.

[mortal grail]

I have money at the ready

I will get one

I will cancel so fast if it's 1500 tho

Just straight up forget it

[tight agate]

I just got back 1,5k, so I should be fine.

[frigid stag]

If they’re too expensive I’ll go with xtx or xtxh

[tight agate]

Plus I am sitting on luggages

[wise wigeon]

Are xfx swifts binned too?

[wise wigeon]

It’s msrp or bust on my end

Ain’t paying no 1200+ for a 5080

[dense locust]

Amd doesn’t have the brand recognition as nvidia does so dunno if they’ll sell quickly tomorrow

[frigid stag]

Looks really nice

[dense locust]

It’s the reference png

[wise wigeon]

Render of the nonexistent reference yes

[mortal grail]

If there's any chance of it, then xfx will be the one
