Joe Medicine Crow really was a badass

devout forum
sage sluice
#

that would explain it

#

thats definitely badass as hell

devout forum

To quote:
"Medicine Crow completed all four tasks required to become a war chief: touching an enemy without killing him (counting coup), taking an enemy's weapon, leading a successful war party, and stealing an enemy's horse. He touched a living enemy soldier and disarmed him after turning a corner and finding himself face to face with a young German soldier.

He also led a successful war party and stole fifty horses owned by the Waffen SS from a German camp, singing a traditional Crow honor song as he rode off."

sage sluice
#

ah wait i remember this story

devout forum
#

He was a scout leader and led his squad so well none of them died during his leadership

#

Which is bloody impressive during WW2

sage sluice
#

when anything could kill you at any moment

#

if only those people got put in positions they could make full use of their potential

#

instead of.. our current leaders lmao

devout forum
#

So yeah
He was a unit leader (leading a war party)
Strangled a German soldier into submission without killing him and disarmed him to take as a POW (counting coup, take an enemy's weapon)
And then stole like 50 horses from a bunch of SS officers and rode off on one of them (steal the enemy's horse)

#

One of his relatives (I think nephew) managed to achieve 3 out of the 4 feats during the Korean War iirc

#

Sadly he only found an elephant to steal, so the tribe's leaders decided that "didn't count because it was not a horse"

sage sluice
#

that's actually insane

#

bro shouldve got the war chief dlc

Radeon RX 9070 MSRP will go up AMD MSRP won’t last long. The suggested retail price AMD announced last month isn’t expected to be honored by board partners for too long.

there's a little thing

fame is another form of wealth

money is the byproduct of fame

ok imma stop yapping fr, this is making less sense the more i read

im tired

nocturne flicker
#

Capitalism is not a system of free enterprise, free enterprise is merely one way in which a capitalistic system is set up

#

Capitalism is any system defined by private ownership of the means of production (assets and resources) and the use of those means to produce profit

#

Free entreprise is a series of legal rules regarding commercial interactions. Capitalism is an economic system that deals with the distribution and production of resources

#

It does not require free enterprise

#

Capitalism is not required to be laissez-faire

between them, cuz if you are losing 30 fps like that example shows, kinda defeats the point

idle nexus

9070 v. 9070XT 4K

so how does it hold up against the 5070 with DLSS3

I would never buy a 5070ti because I hate the name when Super comes out

I haven't seen anyone test that so far

I wonder what the delta is when you use a setting people will actually use

Like quality or balanced

vague atlas

I think performance is fine

at 4k

considering that's still more internal res than 1440p quality

I just want to see numbers between 5070 ti CNN vs 9070 xt FSR4

4k render resolution is peak

I want to see CNN as that is actually pretty interesting

#

true, although that $600 MSRP is looking a bit bs

seems its only for the first wave of cards

mortal grail
#

Stock is still there tho

worn wave
#

Here: instead of making guesses we can look at a real test

#

Just how good is AMD's FSR 4 upscaling and to what extent is Nvidia upscaling advantage mitigated or even nullified by the Radeon team's machine learning based technology? Let's just say that the Radeon team has delivered something very, very impressive here.

The fact that 5070 took hours to sell out says something

vague atlas

I've been staring at it for a while today

worthy meteor

Every reviewer says they're working on FSR testing

#

Also doesn’t the 9070 amd 9079xt have a week until it raises in price

vague atlas
#

I tried to buy at launch

#

newegg just straight up crashed lul

mortal grail
vague atlas
#

and it doesn't seem like they are going to restock at MSRP

#

so ggs

idle nexus
#

if I don't get a 5090 HOF, I'll probably just stay with my 4090 for awhile

frigid stag
#

They were there in stock a few hours ago

vague atlas
#

for MSRP? I didn't even get notified ngl

idle nexus
#

I play 4k 144hz so all that fancy DP & HDMI stuff doesn't really appeal to me

mortal grail
#

MC seems to have quite a few msrp cards

frigid stag
worthy meteor
#

Yea in person microcenter still has stock

vague atlas
#

so not MSRP

worn wave
#

so at least from what we know now, FSR 4 is like the quality of CNN DLSS but at the perf cost of transformer model. Big leap but sort of unfortunate because the transformer model is so good clarity wise you can drop a resolution "tier" for extra perf

worthy meteor
#

For most locations

mortal grail
#

Lol

frigid stag
#

Models of gpus

vague atlas
#

like I said, I've been staring at them lol

#

by the time Newegg loaded for me they were gone

Dlss 4 is still ahead but the thing is that fsr 4 really is not too far behind. I think it will improve not that long from now

😔

Seems pretty nice

worthy meteor
mortal grail
#

Yeah the decent priced ones left are in store choices

vague atlas
#

I'm sure I could have spent more time just afking the stock but I also had work

velvet summit
vague atlas
#

so my point is the $600 MSRP is abit ehhh

idle nexus
vague atlas
#

its about as existing as the 5070 ti $750 MSRP lol

worthy meteor
#

$600 MSRP is going to disappear in a week as far as we know

vague atlas

frigid stag
#

I thought msrp was 699 given the prices kekw

velvet summit
worthy meteor
vague atlas
#

suddenly the value proposition is a lot more iffy

mortal grail
#

Gave a good number of people cards tho while it lasted

frigid stag
#

699 was the cheapest I saw

mortal grail
#

For a good value

vague atlas
#

cuz would I go AMD if its $50 less than a 5070 ti? No probably not

worthy meteor
#

We went from 5 5070tis per microcenter to 25+ even 50+ 9070xts per microcenter

vague atlas
#

I would have done $100 though

idle nexus
#

you know when you think you're going to spell something wrong but you try anyway then just sit there waiting for Discord to give you the squiggly red underline & when it doesn't come you think something is broken?

This statement is way too accurate

A 5090 is 5800 here

Hey can we get game devs to release nothing but dookie games for the next 5 years so demand goes down

#

thanks

vague atlas

I need a gpu

nocturne flicker
worthy meteor

I mean 5070ti stock that was within $200 of MSRP disappeared within 5 minutes when that launched

mortal grail
#

5080 is 2400 here

Yet the xtx and 9070 xt were sub 1400

9070xt lasted about an hour

Would you buy the 5090 if it was 2k

vague atlas

And like I could have bouht the $720 9070 xts but yiiikes

mortal grail

It costs nearly double to buy an nvidia card in australia now and these aren't even scalped

at $720 that's just not very good

Msrp in AU is a joke

isn't RDNA 4 the only one that can do FSR4 or something tho?

you aren't making up rendering at like 60% res in any world

even with the performance overhead that upscaling has

three quatrains & a couplet ftw

60% render res dang

That’s like 768p

ABAB CDCD EFEF GG or something lol

I can get a v8 commo or rx 8 for the price of a 5090

#

Make sense of that

frigid stag
#

😭

dense locust
# misty sparrow Really why?
VideoCardz.com

Radeon RX 9070 MSRP will go up AMD MSRP won’t last long. The suggested retail price AMD announced last month isn’t expected to be honored by board partners for too long. According to some retailers, only a limited number of cards will sell at MSRP, then the price will increase depending on the board partner […]

idle nexus

what's a commo? Camaro? lol

lone mango

it just occurred to me

worthy meteor

You can see they're going up on the best buy listings earlier

#

I'm still listening to the kakariko village song

For 1140 aud instead of 5800 aud I can buy 50% of a 5090 perf with 9070 XT and not spend 5800 aud

idle nexus

I’m glad I don’t have to worry about a gpu for years

Nvidia has abandoned Australia

I still haven't killed a GPU

now a CPU... that's a different story

I’m sure my 5080 will last a while

5080 should've been 24gb

5070 should've been 16gb

vague atlas
#

I was playing with a 3080 at 4k

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

until that thing broke lmao

idle nexus

5060 should've been 12 (I'm sure it'll be 8 cuz derp)

#

broke how?

lone mango

And its doa

vague atlas

thanks Intel lol

lone mango

I think 9060 is too

idle nexus

where is it now?

or right

LMFAOOOOOOOO

currently using a modded 5700

mortal grail

DUDE I CAN AFFORD A SKYLINE NOW FOR A 5090

idle nexus
#

what broke on it?

mortal grail
#

WHAT A JOKE

lone mango
#

Apparently the 9060 xt has a 16 and 8 gig variant

vague atlas
#

Not entirely sure what pert of the VRAM but something in there

#

most likely a solder broke apart

#

its super finnicky

#

too expensive to repair would rather just get a new card

#

I don't particularly have a reballing station

mortal grail
#

@idle nexus hope you realise seeing the astral price how I won't touch a 5090

#

Like ever

icy ore
idle nexus

ya that's insane

mortal grail

Nvidia can suck eggs

vague atlas

and I've already tried to diagnose it as much as possible lol

#

I'm pretty much done with the card I'm just going to frame it and put it on my wall lmfao

mortal grail

My 4090 suprim was 3.2K

Pretty sure that poor PCIe 6 pin connector is screaming at me

Watch this space

put a solid 80 or so cycles of just plugging it and out

idle nexus

damn so there's no obvious physical damage & stuff ig

you're obviously far beyond some noob so nvm lol

lone mango
#

How much you think I could sell a 5600, b550 itx board and 32g ddr4 for

idle nexus
#

I really wouldn't be surprised if 5090 HOF is like $7.5K

vague atlas
#

and honestly the full reballing is just way too pricey

#

too much for a 3080 at least

mortal grail
misty sparrow
#

For the price of that 5090 what would you all buy anyway?

mortal grail

Which is a new car

That's a new bloody volkswagen

somebody hype me up

do they all match? lol

Match, no their SLIGHTLY diffrent, but if the Mitch match in my server can do it I belive in my Corsair

idle nexus

you shoudl be able to do like 4k in G1

#

btw I learned

if you have 4 sticks

& they don't match

#

put one set in A1 A2 & one set in B1 B2

apparently that works better

fresh timber

I can do that

idle nexus

my poor 13900KS

heck it doesn't even wanna do 62x on a single core with HT disabled anymore

what are XMPs? was this the Micron memory from a few days ago? I forget lol

lone mango

that's what the glue is for

lone mango

# mortal grail Nice

have you ever used RadeonMod? I'm pretty sure it's like NvidiaProfileInspector for AMD

lone mango

After long enough I would have like 8g taken up idle

or get 2x16gb DJR & run Gear 2

at like 5000

idle nexus

gear 1 probably better tho tbh

fresh timber
idle nexus

I'm using it for an ancient HD7970 so no clue if it'll work on more modern hardware

I need another gpu to setup my nas, after that I can remove it

Wow you've really never touched rdna have you

does that "extend limits" thing work in settings?

nope

this HD7970 is my newest AMD card lol

mortal grail

Amd doesn't let you go beyond safe spec for voltage

fresh timber

Rdna2 lets you

idle nexus
#

this ancient card has a program that you can use to edit vBIOS then resign them so it'll let you flash

fresh timber
#

:))

mortal grail
#

You use mct/mpt or adrenalin

fresh timber
#

I edited my rx6600 to have a pl of 150, amd drivers only allow 120 so I have to mpt it

#

I made the mistake of not increasing clock speed with it tho

#

Yes

idle nexus

at the bottom

mortal grail
#

Admittedly not much

#

But also

#

Trixx just works

#

I don't need to think with trixx

fresh timber
#

I wonder with enough tuning if I can get my rx6600 to perform like a 6600xt

idle nexus
#

my only issue with Trixx is it won't show voltage for memory

mortal grail
#

You don't have like 2/3 of all the sliders

mortal grail
#

AB is an nvidia pick not amd imo

fresh timber
#

It gets HOT

mortal grail

Not sure about pre rdna but def rdna I wouldn't do AB

idle nexus

Maybe deshroud it

lone mango
fresh timber
#

Ngl I wanna try that mzxt AIO thing

lone mango
#

Honestly surprised it doesnt throttle

fresh timber
#

Side note, why does my ryzen computer boot and turn off a lot faster than my Intel one

idle nexus
#

you know afterburner has a command line thing to try to try to locate the i2cd bus thing for the voltage controller?

mortal grail
#

I vaguely remember this yeah

idle nexus
#

I think after 900 series you couldn't do that anymroe with nvidia dunno about AMD tho

#

heck so I should be using Adrenalin instead of AB for this card?

#

isn't Adrenalin like the driver or something lmao

#

I think you need RadeonMod program so you can set Tessellation & LOD levels

that's for hwbot clowning not actually anything useful afik
