Why does 5060 ti get 16gb but 5070 get 12
pseudo raven
came out in 2020 actually
dense locust
lone mango
Why does 5060 ti get 16gb but 5070 get 12
Because of the memory bus
wise wigeon
Why does 5060 ti get 16gb but 5070 get 12
8gb or 16gb
lone mango
Allows for 8 or 16
dense locust
Because of the memory bus
Damn if only nvidia could change that
worthy meteor
prob terrible memory bus on xx60 again
wise wigeon
It was the same thing with the 4070 and the 4060 ti
lone mango
prob terrible memory bus on xx60 again
I think its 128
dense locust
Weird choice
dense locust
I doubt the 5060 could even take advantage of 16gb
lone mango
I doubt the 5060 could even take advantage of 16gb
Yeah 12 would suit it more, as well as the 9060 xt but whatever
wise wigeon
Yeah the 60xt is 8 gb too right?
dense locust
12 for 5060ti and 16 for 5070
lone mango
8/16
lone mango
12 for 5060ti and 16 for 5070
This is what a smart person would do
lone mango
Yeah but who is getting a 8gb 9060 xt
wise wigeon
We just need to see the actual perf
dense locust
Yeah but who is getting a 8gb 9060 xt
Everyone
Mostly
pseudo raven
i doubt the 9060 xt would also get 16
lone mango
It is
lone mango
Most likely
pseudo raven
if the 4070 super is a 5070
dense locust
At the current trend of 50 series it could be worse
wise wigeon
Well we have the 5050 rumors
lone mango
Whats cool is that the 9060 xt only has one 8 pin
dense locust
The 4090 slots pretty well between the 5090 and the 5080
Honestly they should’ve kept making it
dense locust
in actuality it should’ve just been what the 5080 was
pseudo raven
doesnt leave much space for the 5050
wait
ah
actually they could totally just make it
299
wise wigeon
5050 is prob in the battle age segment
pseudo raven
and make the 4060 399
dense locust
So many 50/50 jokes have been made
pseudo raven
5060 i mean
wise wigeon
Eh the trend seems to be -50 so far
So actually Nvidia is taking AMD’s pricing strategy
Instead it seems like 40 series minus 50
Huh if a 5050 is like 200-250 at around 4060 performance it wouldn’t be good but it wouldn’t be super bad
Considering battlemage kinda crapped the bed with the driver overhead issues
wise wigeon
Not really?
wise wigeon
Then a 60ti would be like a 4070
pseudo raven
are they confirmed doing a 5050?
lone mango
Huh if a 5050 is like 200-250 at around 4060 performance it wouldn’t be good but...
5050 at that price is doa because thats a b580
Give or take a little
wise wigeon
5050 at that price is doa because thats a b580
Yeah but battlemage still has its issues
pseudo raven
the one current gen gpu at the microcenter was a b580
wise wigeon
For a budget gamer
wise wigeon
Are they gonna pick a 5050 with no driver overhead issues
It a b580 with driver overhead issues on weaker cpus
wise wigeon
Are they gonna pick a 5050 with no driver overhead issues
Though I guess this isn’t guaranteed either lol
Like as much as I like xess
Dlss is still better
12 gb from battlemage is great
But a budget gamer prob ain’t doing nothing that is gonna push that 8 gb
5050 leaks have it at 2560 cuda cores
Honestly it’s hard to say because it’s not linear
The 5070 ti has like 13% less cuda cores than the 4080S and it’s pretty much a 4080 v3
5050 has a pretty similar deficit in cuda cores compared to the 4060 as the deficit that the 5070 and 4070 super have
Idk
Well just have to see
lone mango
5050 has a pretty similar deficit in cuda cores compared to the 4060 as the defi...
Apparently has a 130w tgp so it probably is 4060 v2 then
wise wigeon
Yeh
Which at 200-250 wouldn’t be the worst
Used is better but for a “new” product
It’ll get similar performance as the b580 and probably better with upscaling since idk man b580 has some issues
At least on low end cpus
lone mango
You know
9060 xt would kill b580
Like frfr
That thing is gonna be like a 7700 xt which is also ahead of it
wise wigeon
It’s gonna depend on price
lone mango
why

So 360 LF3 it shall be (cuz I can match the fans for my OCD)
Just warning you
Most SFF is made for 25mm rads
And small aio blocks
devout forum
I've already verified the LF3 fits
mortal grail
For those reasons many aios don't fit
And the lf3 especially so lol
LF3 has a 43mm rad
devout forum
2000D does fit the thickness
mortal grail
I didn't say that
I make mistakes all the time
I'm just checking
Peer evaluation you could call it
mortal grail
A concerned parent maybe lmao
Ok
I'm honestly surprised the LF3 gets so well received for all it's flaws lol
Like yeah it works, priced well
But that block is ass
devout forum
One thing I see someone who did it recommending fan grills for avoiding cables getting stuck in the blades
mortal grail
And that rad is unnecessary

So I'll make sure to do that

No it's just unnecessary
devout forum
And I wanna experience AIO mounting since I already did aircool heatsink
mortal grail
It's the cool thing
I'm saying it's worse than some 25mm rads 
devout forum
Wait really?
devout forum
I thought the LF3 was like a top performer
devout forum
I mean the price is right
mortal grail
That doesn't mean the rad makes sense
It's usable, but many competitors have better rads
devout forum
Arctic has a good coldplate at least right?
mortal grail
And cases are often made to accommodate 25mm
Not 43
It does for am4/5
Lga1700/1851 no way
Or rather
devout forum
Not as good I guess
devout forum
Ah the mandated contact frame
mortal grail
Don't expect to go 300 series intel if it's good, if you take an lf3
mortal grail
AM5 don't need contact frame/correction plate right?
Nope
LF3 has many good things about it, basic practicality is the WORST part about it by far lmfao
devout forum
Takes some work to make it check up
devout forum
I think it's cuz there's no RGB max fans
mortal grail
Max fans are their best product
mortal grail
I think it's cuz there's no RGB max fans
They could just make them
The hub is no bigger

I'm almost sure they tried
No their rgb fans just suck
devout forum
IDK specifics I'm not working at Arctic
mortal grail
P12 argb fans have some of the highest rma rate I have seen
devout forum
Welp
mortal grail
This is why I rarely if ever suggest them anymore

That's not great
My issue is that I kinda struggle with OCD
I want the fans to match
Actually no I need them to match
And Thermalright just don't exist for fans here which is pain
devout forum

wise wigeon
Why am I still anguishing whether I go for the 70xt bundle
pseudo raven
how much was your 70 ti
wise wigeon
The 70xt bundle is cheaper but
wise wigeon
I guess I’m finding it hard to pull the trigger on something that was supposed to be msrp
Vs knowingly paying the extra for a nicer model
pseudo raven
whats in the bundle
seriously though imagine telling someone in 2020 that the 70 ti sku would cost 900 in two generations lol
wise wigeon
Both are psu gpu bundles
wise wigeon
The ti has a better psu
lucid bay
sup y’all
pseudo raven
bundling is so cringe
lucid bay
how’re y’all doing?
pseudo raven
but its not even neweggs fault i think
lucid bay
bundling is so cringe
Have no clue what ur referring to so imma js ask for some context
wise wigeon
I mean I’m ok with an extra psu
pseudo raven
Have no clue what ur referring to so imma js ask for some context
a lot of gpus right now
are coming bundled with a psu for extra $
wise wigeon
I could either sell it or just keep it around
pseudo raven
forcibly bundled
lucid bay
why not just include the psu in the price tag..? and not add an additional charge like common sense…?
pseudo raven
i mean people can do the math on it anyway
lucid bay
Maybe it’s some overstock n they’re trying to get rid of it quickly
pseudo raven
no it literally is that
lucid bay
Butttt then again…
wise wigeon
It is in the price tag together
lucid bay
Why include it if ur just gonna charge for it?
pseudo raven
theyre selling something no one wants
lucid bay
Just include it in the price of the damn gpu
pseudo raven
by lumping it together with something that everyone does
wise wigeon
no it literally is that
Well apparently the 70xt psu is back ordered til like June so it’s still wack
lucid bay
Crazyyy
wise wigeon
Idk
pseudo raven
the epitome of predatory practices lol
wise wigeon
That’s prob another reason I don’t like the bundle as much
lucid bay
Newegg’s logic: “U want a GPU, oh hey, here’s a random psu that we just randomly had lying around for an additional $100 that’ll probably explode but we don’t care”
wise wigeon
backordered is insane
Why the rm850e is back ordered is beyond me
wise wigeon
thats actually a good psu no
Eh
lucid bay
Uh considering I have never used it
wise wigeon
You can get the x at pretty much the same price lol
lucid bay
Is it on the PSU tier list?
wise wigeon
It’s a b
pseudo raven
not bad
lucid bay
Thought so
pseudo raven
im getting a rm 750x for $50
lucid bay
Where?
lucid bay
Dang it, someone bought it 🥲
wise wigeon
The ti psu is the a850gs
pseudo raven
msi?

Oh nvm

that one is alright too
wise wigeon
Yeah
wise wigeon
that one is alright too
Better overall performance

About the same price

no i meant just the bundle

I mean the AsRock PSUs in the bundles are legit pretty good

AsRock makes PSU’s NOW?!?

I mean the AsRock PSUs in the bundles are legit pretty good
if someone wanted a psu theyd just buy it

I like the Msi a lil more
lucid bay
I haven’t heard that name in years

still bad
devout forum
850w Tier A iirc for the AsRock one
lucid bay
Since when did AsRock make psus?!?
wise wigeon
For the pg lightning
devout forum
AsRock makes PSU’s NOW?!?
Yeah and it's fairly good
lucid bay
Yeah and it's fairly good
Whattttt!!!?
devout forum
It's a crappy thing
But at the very least it's not an explosion-prone Gigglebyte one
wise wigeon
I just put a lil more weight on better RT because of the trend of new games
It’s still 5-8 % faster in raster
wise wigeon
In terms of pure value for performance this particular xt model is 16% more value than the ti model
From a general performance standpoint
The ti is a binned cards iirc
That model
So in terms of pure performance for price value % it’s honestly not as big of a gap as I thought
Thought the xt would be like 20-25% better value
So then it just comes to the other features
pseudo raven
at msrp?
wise wigeon
at msrp?
I thought it was just gonna be better considering the price difference
But I’m ok paying a lil more for Nvidia
But it’s a msrp model vs a high end sku
pseudo raven
i mean even high end skus tend to be low single digit % better than the msrp models
but you are still paying for something tangible i guess
wise wigeon
And the msrp card is like 41db at 60% speed
It it’s default speed has the vram kissing 90c which yeah is in spec but it don’t make me comfortable
wise wigeon
It’s a small card with not as much heat sink
The more closely prices ventus model I canceled was better in vram temps, worse in core
But similar fan noise
gleaming rivet
Ask <@913267599779971133> he had like 10 of them die on him
Aye. 9 out of 10 Lian Li ST120 I bought over 2 years ago are still going strong. The 1 had a bearing fail in the first 3 months. I'm pretty pleased with them.
wise wigeon
Meanwhile the ti in the bundle sits at like 55 core and 60 vram out the box
At a DB of like 25 or something crazy like that
So it’s just increbiky overbuilt
gleaming rivet
Aye. 9 out of 10 Lian Li ST120 I bought over 2 years ago are still going strong...
It still spins, but it has a god awful screeching noise so I just disconnected it. RGB still going strong and all the fans are set to white 100% of the time. No yellowing of the lights have occurred.
wise wigeon
@pseudo raven maybe it’s just that with the msrp card I’m paying 16% more for genuinely no reason
Vs like 17% more for a absurdly overkill cooler
I guess I could order both, see what meets my criteria more? I mean there is always a chance the ti I get has missing rops
Like
Maybe the sound or temps aren’t as bad as the reviews make it seem?
Though the temps are unlikely to be better

The more I search the more I see people talk about their reapers being loud with high vram temps
Ah screw it, I cancelled the ventus 5070ti because I didn’t like its thermals and noise why am I changing my tune just because it’s a 9070xt
dense locust
You got a ventus?
dense locust
I thought you got a different 5070
wise wigeon
Not a bundle just a single card on the Msi store
I didn’t expect it to go through because I like had time to create a new account and slowly put my info in

Im imaging you’re just gunna cancel every card you buy to buy another until your 7900xt passes return
wise wigeon
Im imaging you’re just gunna cancel every card you buy to buy another until your...
If the ti arrives with no issues then I return the xtx right away
dense locust
What’s the other ti
wise wigeon
It was either a trio or vanguard
wise wigeon
Think it’s cheaper on wegg but yeah I saw it at like something crazy on the Msi store
But I think the trio is only like $30 more than the ventus
Idk anymore it’s 6 am my brain fried
wise wigeon
But like I guess the sentiment is that even if I’m paying 16% more
Why wouldn’t it be for a better more capable cooler
Because the reaper is 16% more now
But it’s just because
It’s not suddenly better
And the bundled psu is worse
I hate being so wishy washy
Eh we’ll see
The ti shipped
So we’ll see
pseudo raven
Vs like 17% more for a absurdly overkill cooler
youre only paying 17% over msrp on the 5070 ti?
or 17% more because of the bundle
wise wigeon
the pulse jumped to $730?
wise wigeon
youre only paying 17% over msrp on the 5070 ti?
For a better model
pseudo raven
so 17% over msrp?
pseudo raven
im biased because i have an msrp 9070 xt but
wise wigeon
Yeah unfortunately no microcenter near me
pseudo raven
when price to perf of 5070 ti means that the msrp is inflated as is
its a little flawed to do just %s but that is whats available to you
wise wigeon
And wegg was pretty much the only source of msrp
pseudo raven
if i didnt care about money id get the 5070 ti
it is like 5% better and better at RT too
although there is something to be said about supporting an underdog
wise wigeon
Because now the pulse msrp model is $730
pseudo raven
geez lol
wise wigeon
So 21% over msrp
pseudo raven
my asus prime oc card
that i got for msrp
it had a 1000 dollar price tag on it

i wonder if there was actually a world where its that expensive 💀

if i didnt care about money id get the 5070 ti

pseudo raven
theyve already done that pretty much
wise wigeon
I mean that $850 merc is a 41% hmm better to say price hike
wise wigeon
Because the crazy thing is the merc was only $100 more than xtx msrp
marsh lynx
just buy ooone
You don’t think I’m trying lol it’s gonna completely sell out everywhere in milliseconds

he postponed them almost immediately for a month didnt he

speaking of sleep, brooklyn beeding has the plank firm luxe thats dual-sided/flippable

i hate how many mattresses now a days are one sided 
i think tempurpedic has a dual sided as well but its like 9k or something

Mattresses are crazy man

Eh
Keeping your body in decent shape and have a decent mattress >> spending 9k on a mattress

9k is a decent mattress

Pretty sure an average/midrange mattress is closer to 2k

how did your explorer break
fresh timber
umm
so
i was on computer, file exploer would crash, sometimes my taskbar refuses to even respond
then sometimes i couldnt boot into windows right
so i flashed a new iso real quick and went to new install
pliant berry
i see
fresh timber
now my issue is zipfiles i download keep corrupting for no reason, but z7ip unzips just fine kek

UBM's take on 9950x3d
😂
because they did this recently

If you’re just gaming the 9950x3d isn’t worth the $200 more
Dunno what’s wrong with userbenchmark
At this point I think it might be mental issue
Why does their 9070xt review talk about the 9000 series and then suddenly go back to gpus when they talk about market share lol
Also them talking about black screens and crashes since it’s now an nvidia issue

because they did this recently
where the part where nvidia bricks their own gpus with drivers

That's just an accident

you can basically ignore the ones that say Source DistributedCOM

I don't think TPM would cause the system to completely blank out
are there any that the Source says Power or something similar?

event log

look at Date & Time near when the system borked out

about accurate to when i crashed
idle nexus
it'll likely say something like "Kernel-Power"
but it would be next to one of those red Error messages
dense locust
Whats the wattage of the psu?
muted creek
i can find box, gimme a sec
idle nexus
the ones next to "Information" are just gonna tell you when your processor power state changed or something else that's likely unhelpful

nada

well... ig what you could do is fire up the game & try to make it happen again
