[fresh timber]

My issue is **Idfk what to do if I add stuff

[lone mango]

What used to be normal is now brushed aside

[devout forum]

NGL that's kinda better than my rig

[lone mango]

Its not good but not terrible

[devout forum]

My case's basement is stuffed full of cable slack

[lone mango]

If you can close the panel you good

[devout forum]

Barely

Just barely

insert joke about just barely fitting being ideal

[fresh timber]

I’m fixing it tn

[mental yoke]

U can do it

[lone mango]

The rear latch on nr200 back panel used to come out from a cable pushing on it

[fresh timber]

Chat should I side mount my AIO

[lone mango]

So I woule move the computer and the panel would try to completely cole out

But I finally tamed it

Hold it there and see if you like it there

[devout forum]

I'm probably gonna need to get a Cablemod kit for when I build my ITX rig

Cuz there ain't all that much space to hide cables in a 2000D

[lone mango]

L for me not getting the corsair psu

[fresh timber]

I use cable extensions

[lone mango]

I should have got it man

But it was like almost 200

Evga was 145

So it is what it is

Now sf750 is like 170 or so

And there is now a sf650 too

[fresh timber]

Ugh

Cable exertions are painful

[devout forum]

"8 pin 12V Power Connector (Hi-Density Power Connector)" is a standard 8pin EPS right?

[velvet summit]

cable extortion

[lone mango]

Nvm i got mixed up

There is a 600 but i dont think its made anymore

[fresh timber]

Is it bad to daisy chain a pcie for 7700xt

[wise wigeon]

It’ll work

[fresh timber]

Should I worry

I’m trying to minimize clutter

[wise wigeon]

1:1 cables is best but it’ll be fine

[fresh timber]

Works for me

I’ll daisy chain to save space

Extentons make it painful

[wise wigeon]

But prettier

[fresh timber]

Yup

[wise wigeon]

Ooooh noooo

[fresh timber]

This psu is lowkey kinda loud

[wise wigeon]

I didn’t get selected for the bundle

Whatever shall I do

[pliant berry]

Don’t offer services or products here, its not a marketplace

[fresh timber]

Time to suffer as I wire ARGB

[fresh timber]

I wouldn’t be proud of that

[frigid stag]

No but I need to upgrade some other things

[dusk knot]

Net worth. Net worth.

[dusk knot]

I need to upgrade my life

Who at the gym rn

[misty sparrow]

not me

[limber crane]

hey me too

[fresh timber]

I’m doing top mounte, the tubes are weird

Disgusting

[devout forum]

Alright hear me out

6700 XT
To 6900 XT
To 4090

For GPU upgrades

[dusk knot]

I'm working

I really wish I could go today

[devout forum]

JP would that be stupid?

[dusk knot]

Hmm

No?

If the 4090 is reasonably priced

[devout forum]

It's as reasonably prices as they can get here

2100 USD (for a Zotac model with their 5 year warranty)

[dusk knot]

Oh god

😭

Find used

[paper verge]

thought zotac was dead

[devout forum]

It IS used.

They're all used cards

Cuz that's all I can afford anyway

[dusk knot]

Well...you're in big doodoo

[devout forum]

I know lol

It's so much pain

9070 XT is the same price as a 7900XTX here

[dusk knot]

Maybe get into another hobby or something

[devout forum]

Almost one for one

[dusk knot]

Maybe get a 9070xt

There's nothing else

Everything is overpriced.... we're on the worse possible timeline for PC gaming

[devout forum]

XTX is the same price tho and available new

[dusk knot]

But lacks in features and RT performance

[devout forum]

Like a new 9070XT is priced the same as a 7900XTX

it should be 200 bucks cheaper

[dusk knot]

Hm

[devout forum]

Shops pre-scalping the cards be like

Like that's legitimately what's happening here

Anyhow

Buying used is how I could get a GOU worth having

[misty sparrow]

are they not doing stuff like one card per person

they should

[devout forum]

Or I just buy a PC with a 4090, extract the card and resell the other things

[devout forum]

They are

But the prices are already scalped

[misty sparrow]

oh good lord how

[devout forum]

Like there's obscene extra profit margins tossed onto them (not even mentioning the insane 27% VAT on top of that)

50 series gets scalped 3 tiens before any scalper buys it lmao

Scalped by nGreedAI
Scalped by the government
Scalped by the stores

That's probably why we don't actually have scalper problems here

Cuz the gap is already closed by others

Living here is truly awful

it would legit be cheaper for me to buy a plane ticket to the US, travel to a MicroCenter, build my PC there and fly it home in a suitcase

Or carryon

Like seriously though it's so bad

[rancid juniper]

[proud jackal]

Do I need 9950x3d

[pliant berry]

Yes

[fresh timber]

Ugh I need a Argb extension cable

[fresh timber]

$700 cpu compared to $550 cpu

Nice

[rancid juniper]

Expensive options for one chip

Better be tasty af

[fresh timber]

9950x3d can beat a 9950x in non gaming

Something something better binned something something level1texh

[pliant berry]

Off topic but how much does the average custom atx pc weigh

[fresh timber]

Define average

Cause mines heavy

But my other atx isn’t

[pliant berry]

But how much

[fresh timber]

Never measured but it feels like a good 10-15 pound diffrence

Nv5 vs cheap thermal take

[pliant berry]

Trying to get a bracket for my pc, im sure itll fit the limit but im trying to figure out by how much

[fresh timber]

Wall mount?

[dusk knot]

The 9800x3d is better for gaming

[fresh timber]

Use studs

[fresh timber]

I’m pretty sure they are the same

If the CCDs play nice in windows

In Linux theirs no issue

[dusk knot]

I'm never wrong

[dusk knot]

From what I've seen, it does more frames on average

[lone mango]

Well it is a little bit faster than the xtx if you turn on ray tracing

[lone mango]

It varies, sometimes a couple percent slower or faster

I think the 9950 is viable now if you really need the extra cores

And somehow it is also a little faster than the 9950x in some workloads

They really cooked up this time

[lone mango]

Still fasting

Dry ahh mouth

[dusk knot]

😔

[rough zinc]

My lancool III case alone weighs around 15lbs

Guessing full build would be around 25ish?

[lone mango]

I wonder what my computer weighs

I will put the scale on my desk so I don’t have to unplug it

[dusk knot]

Yes

[fresh timber]

Do yall also turn the psu on so u can test Argb

[wise wigeon]

Awww man

No flawless box this time

[fresh timber]

Dual gpu setup

Xtx and 9070xt

[wise wigeon]

Damn is in the upright side too

Can’t really hide that

[fresh timber]

Rma the box

[dense locust]

“My graphics card
box
Is broken pls fix

[dense locust]

For being $150 there is not $150 in terms of performance

[wise wigeon]

I know you guys are joking but I do keep the boxes around if not for rma purposes then for my wall

[fresh timber]

Also they compared it to last gen cpu too

Compare to core ultra so AMD wins more

[dense locust]

Disable a rop then rma it for new box

[wise wigeon]

Honestly I’m more curious on how it ripped like that

Because the packing was pretty well done

[tranquil pebble]

if I had the money I would run every single current gen card at once... obviously not in the same system though lol

[wise wigeon]

Jesus Christ dude

[fresh timber]

Don’t look at the price

[dense locust]

Someone tried to open to box to try to steal the gpu but didn’t have enough

[fresh timber]

Happy about your box now?

[wise wigeon]

Eh

No?

[wise wigeon]

They both deserved better

[fresh timber]

Do I need to show you mines again

[dense locust]

Guess you buy nvidia to get the better box experience/j

[fresh timber]

That’s what I hope

[wise wigeon]

My EVGA one is ok but not flawless

[fresh timber]

Iv been saving my 12v cable for Nvidia

[wise wigeon]

The nitro plus xtx was pretty much flawless

Thicker box too

Hmm what side do I wanna open from

[dense locust]

Break the other side too so it’s even

[wise wigeon]

I’ll open the busted side

I’m right handed anyway

[twilit perch]

looks sick just wish 5080s were cheaper its like 1300+

[dusk knot]

Shouldn't be more than $1000

[misty sparrow]

it shouldnt, but it is

[dusk knot]

Why can't.... NgreedAi lower all their prices for their gaming cards and just goes full steam on the enterprise side of their business which makes around 30 times more money annually. Slashing prices wouldn't affect their profitability. The AI bubble may never pop.

[wise wigeon]

I mean slashes msrp would be nice but as we can see from AMD launch that doesn’t stop AIBs and retailers

[misty sparrow]

Profits only matter to them

They don’t care that gaming is now smaller than data center market

they want the money

Jensen is probably Dutch from RDR2 in disguise

[dense locust]

To be fair partners set the prices for 99% of the cards

[dusk knot]

Bummer....

[dense locust]

NVIDIA probably doesn’t give much margin tho

[wise wigeon]

Which is why they wanna mark up prices

[dense locust]

I have seen people say they can get up to 2 digit margins

[wise wigeon]

Plus Nvidia also directly competes with FE

[dense locust]

If they sold at msrp

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/T68h6vAjNEM?si=knSvxstWCZky9cv4

[dusk knot]

Yeah. Make as much money as possible for their investors

[dense locust]

That one lawsuit where investors sued and won

Is what ruined everything

[misty sparrow]

Mr house was right all along

[dusk knot]

What happened?

[wise wigeon]

I keep forgetting how heavy this machine is

[lone mango]

amd still has time to make a ref model

[dense locust]

The Michigan Supreme Court held that Henry Ford could not lower consumer prices and raise employee salaries. Notably, obiter dicta (a non-binding remark) in the opinion written by Russell C. Ostrander argued that the profits to the stockholders should be the primary concern for the company directors. Because this company was in business for profit, Ford could not turn it into a charity

[wise wigeon]

Too much R&D

[dense locust]

1919 lawsuit

[lone mango]

Oh thats what set the precedent for the shareholder first term I forgot what it was called

Tech yes made a video about why the market is the way it is

[wise wigeon]

Plus making a msrp reference model on cards that probably already pissed off retailers and AIBs is I would say ill advised

[lone mango]

So dodge had a 10% share in ford at the time and ford wanted to lower their prices, but then dodge came in and said nah you gotta put us first and sued

Basically how it went

[wise wigeon]

Do I dare remove an 8 pin before knowing of the card works?

[lone mango]

Judge ruled in their favor and this set the precedent for publicly traded companies to prioritize the holders

[lone mango]

What do you mean

[dusk knot]

Well rip.

Truly despicable

[wise wigeon]

Size is similar but the weight is def different

[fresh timber]

I’m

[fresh timber]

Id kill for that xtx

Ngl

Ima plugin the rest of my system

CPU and gpu have no power right now

[earnest lagoon]

Yo newegg hurry up and pick me for a shuffle already!

[gilded kraken]

checked the newegg shuffle selection and got jumpscared by the 5080 price because I had forgotten about its pricing for a bit

[limber crane]

5090 pricing was even better

[dusk knot]

Three thousand dollars

USD

[wise wigeon]

Wdym it’s over

[limber crane]

yeah i was gonna say wasnt the window from 12pt to 2pt

[gilded kraken]

Yea I saw that and frowned so hard that I closed the page

[dusk knot]

Sigh

Pretty bad when all the tech heads in here air the feeling of bleakness for these cards XD. GJ nvidiar

[mental yoke]

no sad rolls

[dusk knot]

Still waiting for NgreedAi to message me for a fe 5080.....

[limber crane]

consumer gonna consume

[rancid juniper]

is this true?

[gilded kraken]

probably not, alcohol does more damage long term than simple sugars and carbs from soda

sodas can be bad for your teeth though

[limber crane]

and high sugar is also generally very bad for a lot of things

but alcohol affects the brain more i think

[rancid juniper]

id take bad teeth over liver damage/diabetes anyday

[gilded kraken]

I mean soda will give you diabetes too

[rancid juniper]

crap

[limber crane]

im thankful i kicked soda a few years ago

[dusk knot]

All that sugar..... truth

[gilded kraken]

If drank responsibly your liver will repair whats damaged as it regrows itself

[fresh timber]

I should get custom cables, this is insane

[rancid juniper]

drinking responsibly challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

[dusk knot]

Yeah....some people don't understand that alcohol is good in moderations

People who abuse alcohol on television give it a bad rep.

[gilded kraken]

so really its kind of a toss up, alcohol turns into carbs

sugar is in mass in soda

sugar is carbs

so...

[dusk knot]

I don't want diabetus

So I will do both...in moderation

[gilded kraken]

XD

all fair

[dusk knot]

Soda is worse

[pliant berry]

just drink water

[dusk knot]

Soda encourages weight gain and a bunch of other issues

[limber crane]

lol so many sold 9070xts on ebay for $900-1200

[fresh timber]

Rate

[gilded kraken]

I mainly drink water but I'll have a mixed drink time to time. Actually dont really drink soda

[icy ore]

drink melted sugar

[dusk knot]

Looks good

[fresh timber]

Only problem is how much slack I got but everything els is good

[pliant berry]

Most of the time im drinking coffee, tea, and water. soda and anything else only at parties

[dusk knot]

Yeah .no one's going to see it ...no one will care.

[fresh timber]

My brain cares

[dusk knot]

your conscience will get you for sure lol

[rough zinc]

Id never abuse alcohol, I love it too much

[short hinge]

on day 1 I saw 1150+$

[limber crane]

yep me too

Of course

[idle nexus]

extensions are your friend

it's way easier to organize cables that are too long than cables that are too short

[idle nexus]

first no Z790 Unify-X & now this!?

I kinda hate MSI & Gigabyte but I have both

then again I kinda hate Asrock & Asus too so

TIME TO MOVE TO BIOSTAR

[rancid juniper]

No don't lol

[idle nexus]

I left my game on while I went to pick up my son from school (wasteful I know)

& when I came home my computer restarted

[rancid juniper]

Not as wasteful as the 300w CPU you have

[idle nexus]

then I found this

seriously why didn't Microsoft just name that |1vhlwf Notavirus

at least it wouldn't look so suspect

[fresh timber]

I wanna swap with a corsair unit ngl

Or I’ll do a fan swap

Good old Noctua

[idle nexus]

I just tried a soda called "Milca"

[echo thistle]

PC builder: can I copy your homework?

PCPartPicker: sure but don't make it obvious

PC builder:

[idle nexus]

lol 360w

[rancid juniper]

so trash

☠️

[idle nexus]

I used to use Newegg's

I've only used PCPartPicker to estimate total cost

needless to say, I do my best not to look at that website now

[echo thistle]

It's good for easy compatibility and price checking

[wise wigeon]

Hmm not quite straight

[echo thistle]

Does that bottom fan actually get any intake?

[idle nexus]

go get two torpedo levels. Put one on the PSU shroud & one on the GPU & make the bubble relative to the two lines match on both

that's a reverse fan

blows upwards no?

[echo thistle]

yes, but where is it getting that air from

[idle nexus]

lol umm

front fans ig

[wise wigeon]

Only got one torpedo

[echo thistle]

technically front fan but atp it's useless

[idle nexus]

is the bottom perforated lol

[idle nexus]

gotta remember where it was when you put it on PSU shroud ig lol

[echo thistle]

it's not like the gpu is fanless

[idle nexus]

very level on one axis lol

[wise wigeon]

Case ain’t very level either apparently

[fresh timber]

my cable extentions are pissing me off

they wont bend right

[idle nexus]

I'd just eyeball it to look parallel to the CPU cooler tbh

[fresh timber]

ill buy new cable extentions latre smh

ugh my impusles are telling me to get a 14900k

[idle nexus]

sell D4 board & get D5 board

[fresh timber]

are cool are the igpus in intel

rn only thing i can think of is more displays i dont have

[dusk knot]

Perfect

[idle nexus]

I think they only times--except for when I didn't have a GPU in 2020--I've used my iGPU on desktop is when I bricked a GPU flashing vBIOS that didn't beling

[dusk knot]

Well near perfect

[fresh timber]

oop

[idle nexus]

that's pretty heckin good

[fresh timber]

ok my cables are pissing me off but i dont feel like taking the side panel back off

[idle nexus]

lol rule one of cable management: don't put any panels back on until everything is hooked up & confirmed working correctly

[wise wigeon]

?

[fresh timber]

wanna know what was funny,i put it back on and the gpu cables mess up

ugh ima fix them it bothering me that much

[fresh timber]

can u share

[wise wigeon]

?

[fresh timber]

ur gpu

u have too much gpu

[idle nexus]

it looks parallel to the PSU shroud but not the CPU cooler by a tiny margin lol

[wise wigeon]

I’m still waiting for the 5070ti to come in so I can return the bundle together

[fresh timber]

what gpus do u have rn..

[idle nexus]

lol I'm glad that question isn't for me

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

[wise wigeon]

Sanity check real quick

Anyone?

[idle nexus]

nice but use the cable combs

[wise wigeon]

Only came with 4 8 pin ones

And the eps cables needed it more

[idle nexus]

I'm surprised you can even see the 4+4s lol

Helps em stay in place really

how could they only give you four of those?

not cool

[wise wigeon]

Ask Corsair

[opaque sedge]

What games did u guys get on the sale?

[icy ore]

Just a couple

Put them all in one pc

[idle nexus]

really wish crypto was worth it rn lol

[wise wigeon]

Ain’t it’s time to test

[idle nexus]

can you bring them in like this

[wise wigeon]

Eh it’s a bit annoying because the psu is long

[opaque sedge]

Damn that the new 9070xt

[idle nexus]

ah okay

they only gave you one cable comb for 24 pin?

[opaque sedge]

Could also bring it from the 24pin rivet

[wise wigeon]

Yeah….

[opaque sedge]

The cables look nice and braided

[idle nexus]

did these come with the PSU or did you get extensions?

[wise wigeon]

Native cables

[opaque sedge]

Tuf psu?

[wise wigeon]

Even the new rme series has braided cables

[opaque sedge]

Huh interesting

I really wanted a psu that came with cables like those

[wise wigeon]

Rmx 2024 and rme 2025

[idle nexus]

$7 seems like a lot for that https://www.amazon.com/upHere-Pieces-Gesleeved-0-13inch-0-13inch/dp/B07QM7KBK9?

don't plug the 12vhpwr in all the way & run furmark

[wise wigeon]

Cables are rather nice

[idle nexus]

another reason to love Corsair

[wise wigeon]

12pin is slightly off from the others

[opaque sedge]

I mean they prolly had to make it somewhat beefy

For insurance purposes yk

[wise wigeon]

Well I mean it’s not glossy like the others

[opaque sedge]

Huh interesting

The individual cables also look thicker

[wise wigeon]

Good lol

[idle nexus]

that bothers me they cheap out on the cable combs

[wise wigeon]

Pretty sure it comes with 2 12 pin combs lol

[idle nexus]

LMAO!!

[wise wigeon]

Nvm

[idle nexus]

Corsair selling cable combs "on sale" for $17.50 LOL

[wise wigeon]

It has 1 12 pin and another 8 pin I couldn’t find

[idle nexus]

cable combs with a 2 year warranty?

[hoary zodiac]

What do we get now

[wise wigeon]

I guess they assumed you would only use one comb per cable because you have two eps and 3 8 to 6+2

[hoary zodiac]

Unoriginal slop that barely runs on top end hardware

It's joever gamerbros

[opaque sedge]

MuH MEAT

[idle nexus]

oh yaaa

[hoary zodiac]

DAMN THAT IS A LOT OF MEAT

I am so jealous

[opaque sedge]

It was a fair bit of money too…

[idle nexus]

I meant to try to use that remix thing on Fallout 4

[opaque sedge]

But still cheaper than other stuff

7.99 per pound

Was 9.50 and saw 7.99 and i grabbed one pack

[hoary zodiac]

Wait qhat

Isn't that half a kilo

[wise wigeon]

Less

[idle nexus]

wait is Fallout 4 DX9? it's newer than that I think

[wise wigeon]

Kilo is 2.2 lb

[hoary zodiac]

I guess it is a full slab of meat

But like

[opaque sedge]

around 2.2 pounds is a kilo i believe

[idle nexus]

okay ya FO4 is DX11

[idle nexus]

is remix only for DX8 & DX9 games?

[opaque sedge]

Two full slabs of meat

Choice ribeye was 14.99 btw

[wise wigeon]

Per lb?

[opaque sedge]

Used to be 11.49 just a couple months ago

[hoary zodiac]

How much is mince?

[opaque sedge]

Yh

[wise wigeon]

Not so bad

[opaque sedge]

Hmm i forgot but i usually see the big 88-12 mince packs in costco for 35-40 bucks

[hoary zodiac]

To be fair steak here is pretty much the same price

[opaque sedge]

So prolly 5 bucks a pound

[hoary zodiac]

Mince is usually half of steak

Yeah it's around the same here

[opaque sedge]

Mince is still somewhat reasonable thankfully

[wise wigeon]

About that yeah

[opaque sedge]

Lovely for families with growing kids

[hoary zodiac]

11 AUD for 1KG of beef

So that's around $7 in USD

[wise wigeon]

So cheaper than here

$7 for 2.2 lbs

[hoary zodiac]

That's a kilo right?

Damn

The US is a major agricultural exporter isn't it?

[opaque sedge]

Yh it seems like its prolly 5 bucks a pound, pretty sure they add like a dollar or two to the price for instacart

[hoary zodiac]

We do export our best meat too

Wait

That's costco meat

[opaque sedge]

Yh

[hoary zodiac]

Hmmm

Imma check how much in costco au

[idle nexus]

someone use remix on these DX9 games for the lols

[opaque sedge]

Costco should be a good choice for meat and stuff

They somehow seem to have some control and dedication over having their supplies

Like with eggs

[hoary zodiac]

9.89 per kg

[opaque sedge]

Aud?

[hoary zodiac]

So that's $6.26 AUD per kg

[opaque sedge]

Huh not bad

[hoary zodiac]

Oh crap doxxed my postcode

[wise wigeon]

Cheap meat

[opaque sedge]

Are living costs similar to the US?

[wise wigeon]

Look man

[opaque sedge]

In a tech server nonetheless tch tch a shame

[hoary zodiac]

Well if you factor in other costs

Yeah

[wise wigeon]

What 90% of Australia is concentrated in like the right coast ain’t it?

[hoary zodiac]

Rent is not fun

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

How much is rent in say

Hmm

Philadelphia

Or whatever y'all live

Let's say one bedroom apartment

[opaque sedge]

Hmm and Australia is mostly urban too

[fresh timber]

Can I borrow the 3080ti

[opaque sedge]

Right?

[wise wigeon]

I mean around my school is like 2-3k

[wise wigeon]

The part that’s populated

[hoary zodiac]

Suburban

Housing crisis is driving people to the suburbs

[wise wigeon]

Deeper in the more upside down it gets

[opaque sedge]

Suburban huh seems like its getting unreasonably expensive there too slowly

[hoary zodiac]

I pay $550 roughly pw for rent + utilities

[wise wigeon]

Cheap

[hoary zodiac]

It is not chill

[wise wigeon]

Cheap as hell

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it's cheap by well

By 2025 standards

[opaque sedge]

Lets ask him abt avg income first

[wise wigeon]

People in the us would kill for that

[hoary zodiac]

I have no income at the moment so

Average first year uni student experience

[opaque sedge]

Damn bro has loving parents

I wouldn’t know

[hoary zodiac]

I have one side of the family that is very supportive

The other side backed out

[opaque sedge]

Divorced parents?

[wise wigeon]

Around 7700 a month?

[hoary zodiac]

not exactly

[wise wigeon]

He’s in a student visa

[hoary zodiac]

Oh that too

[wise wigeon]

Family in HK right?

[hoary zodiac]

International fees are tough

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[opaque sedge]

Hong Kong?!

Goddamn

[hoary zodiac]

To be fair I don't really have a choice

It's either this or HK

[wise wigeon]

That’s fair

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not the rich kind of HK people too

[opaque sedge]

Being able to live in hong kong and still being able to send ur kid for an education abroad

[wise wigeon]

Crippling depression vs Australia is a hard pick

[hoary zodiac]

My family was the "fleeing from cultural revolution" kind

Earned their money from blood and sweat

[hoary zodiac]

Oh yeah the housing crisis is even worse

Also I'm living off retirement fund from my aunt

[wise wigeon]

HK is dense dense

[hoary zodiac]

Somehow they have saved up enough money

[wise wigeon]

I mean idk if it’s Tokyo dense

[hoary zodiac]

For a couple years at least

[wise wigeon]

Tokyo is genuinely absurd how large and how many people there are

[hoary zodiac]

Like it's a massive expense for them

[opaque sedge]

Prolly more

[hoary zodiac]

The HK government's also been stingy with benefits too

Economic downturn does that to social programs

[opaque sedge]

Never trust the government for ur retirement

[hoary zodiac]

Tourism is in the decline

And uhh

[opaque sedge]

Huh that rhymes

[hoary zodiac]

I'm lucky I got out when I did

Would've failed high school otherwise

[opaque sedge]

Tourism in china is going away?

[hoary zodiac]

More just HK

[wise wigeon]

City proper is like 14mil

[opaque sedge]

Damn times really have changed a lot since i came to the US

[hoary zodiac]

Recent events have made it less unattractive

HK tourism is mostly from mainland China these days

[opaque sedge]

I remember everyone and their grandma going to HK for trips and the like when i was a wee lad in south asia

[wise wigeon]

Greater Tokyo area is 37 mil which is like almost a 4th of the country’s population

[hoary zodiac]

Funny enough

There's been waves of emigration over the years

1997, 2019-2020 and probably a couple I forgot about

[opaque sedge]

HK is supposed to be this sanctuary state right?

[hoary zodiac]

On paper

[opaque sedge]

Oof

[hoary zodiac]

For 50 years

[fresh timber]

maybe a 5500 was a bad idea

[hoary zodiac]

Honestly it's turning into just any chinese city these days

It's kinda losing its uniqueness imo

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure alieexpress has 5600x priced similarly to 5500 on amazon and the like

💀

[hoary zodiac]

Especially with the recent push in the curriculum

[fresh timber]

i bought the amazon one cause im not buying stuff from ali

[hoary zodiac]

I mean I'm politically neutral on it but

Culturally speaking

It's just not the place I grew up in anymore

[fresh timber]

i could get a 5900x

[pseudo raven]

I did not know you couldn't mix modular cables between power supplies

thankfully the power supply refused to boot

[wise wigeon]

Well 9070xt turns on

[frigid stag]

Uh ...you can’t usually

[pseudo raven]

5600x runs fine on an 8 pin connecter

*connector so

I guess I'm ok

[frigid stag]

I plug in both cables just for peace of mind

Looks cleaner too

[wise wigeon]

Depends but generally a no no yes

[pseudo raven]

the evga g3 i got for 60 bucks

had one cpu cable missing

figured I could just use the corsair one I had from my old one but no

[wise wigeon]

Dear god

Huh it’s already detecting as the 9070xt

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, it’s AMD drivers but

[pseudo raven]

oh you're lucky

[wise wigeon]

?

[pseudo raven]

I was on 60hz till I got new drivers

it didn't recognize the 9070xt at all

[wise wigeon]

Hmm is that the fans I hear?

[dusk knot]

[dusk knot]

:/

[fresh timber]

this mc mod sucks

[wise wigeon]

Idk if my ears are just picking up on a noise or I’m crazy

[dusk knot]

Insanity properly

Or your house could be haunted.

[fresh timber]

Mhh I don’t think the bill was high because of the heat

[hoary zodiac]

I'm in your walls

[dusk knot]

Who knows

[wise wigeon]

It’s like a low trill

[hoary zodiac]

I'm coming to take your 7900XTX away

[wise wigeon]

Ima tell her

[fresh timber]

no ur not

[wise wigeon]

As long as you pay for it

[fresh timber]

i should probably buy more effiecnt computers

[hoary zodiac]

Msrp?

[icy ore]

$4000

[wise wigeon]

I mean if you wanna come to the states to get it

[hoary zodiac]

I'm already inside your walls

It's too late

[dusk knot]

I'm in all your walls

[hoary zodiac]

Hi JP

[dusk knot]

Hey boeing

Nice bed you got there

[hoary zodiac]

How do you know I'm in my room

[sweet phoenix]

Ill trade you my 2080 ti and all the money I have in my bank account

(Not enough)

[hoary zodiac]

Big JP is watching

[dusk knot]

All in your best interest

[opaque sedge]

From 1984?!?

[opaque sedge]

@hoary zodiac

[dusk knot]

Sorry..well done

[wise wigeon]

god fan control calibrating spooks me man

[hoary zodiac]

Reeeee

Ironically produce is gonna end up being more expensive than meat

Because of that bastard Alfred

[opaque sedge]

Some of em alr are

[fresh timber]

OUR BILL WAS $200 THIS MONTH

[hoary zodiac]

We just got hit by a cyclone so

A lot of crops probably got wiped out

[opaque sedge]

Ngl starting to think maybe the population is just too damn high

[hoary zodiac]

No

[dusk knot]

Mismanagement and the p word

[hoary zodiac]

The supply has been disrupted

By several factors

[opaque sedge]

Cuz if u try to remedy the current economic situation no doubt a significant portion of the population will suffer

[wise wigeon]

i know calibrating fans is important but gpu fans hella loud so its spooky calibrating them

[hoary zodiac]

That I can't talk about here

[opaque sedge]

In food

[hoary zodiac]

One of the world's leading grain producer is current in a conflict so

Ya know

That has a massive impact on food prices

[opaque sedge]

Oh… the us

?

[hoary zodiac]

Ukraine

[opaque sedge]

Oh crap

[dusk knot]

Hm yes

[hoary zodiac]

Is the distance between two points equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector?

[proud jackal]

IF DONE WHY NOT DONE

[hoary zodiac]

Windows moment

[wise wigeon]

ok

lets run a wilds benchmark

God rdna4 men temps make me uncomfortable

Mem*

[tranquil pebble]

Baldurs Gate 3 alone can completely fill one of my SSDs

[hoary zodiac]

How big is it?

[wise wigeon]

Bg3 is like 150

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

Smaller than flight sim

[wise wigeon]

Smaller than ark survival evolved

[misty sparrow]

Ark survival evolved and games like it probably take up the entire storage space of a 512GB Series S console

crazy how games can get like that

[lone mango]

So true

[hoary zodiac]

It also has to restart 500 times before it finishes

[tranquil pebble]

BG3 AFAIK also has a good reason to be big

not all large games do

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah it's a very in depth RPG

[wise wigeon]

k so card works

[hoary zodiac]

There's resource heavy games

And then there's ubisoft games

[icy ore]

Summer2017 got theos password

[tranquil pebble]

lol my 6900 XT is gonna rip right through this

[hoary zodiac]

Optimised game? No way

In 2025?

[tranquil pebble]

not a 2025 game

[hoary zodiac]

Technically 2023 but

still tho that's pretty good for 23

You don't need high end hardware to run it but it can still take advantage of it

[tranquil pebble]

x3d cpu and 6900xt... wont be any issues running that

[hoary zodiac]

It'd be interesting to see how BG3 benefits from X3D

Actually doesn't GN have BG3 benchmarks?

OH MY GOD

[tranquil pebble]

then you have the games that can run on a potato but at the same time still run like trash on high end too

[hoary zodiac]

This is an X3D title

Cache go brr

[tranquil pebble]

my Zen 3 beats a 285k in this game, absolutely hilarious

[hoary zodiac]

The absolute state of intel

[tranquil pebble]

gonna be even better once I do install my Zen 5 x3d

[tranquil pebble]

seeing an Intel 9 lose to an x3d that cost me 5-class pricing... is hilarious

[wise wigeon]

I mean if you've been to the lower city you can understand why

[tranquil pebble]

DX11 or Vulkan for BG3?

[wise wigeon]

okenough of this off to go celebrate a birthday cya nerds

[hoary zodiac]

Oh yeah I should probably ask for a birthday role in like 14 hours

[fresh timber]

kek

doesnt my 13600kf beat its ultra equal

[lone mango]

I think so

Unless its overclocked

Reviewers should show core ultra oc

But muh efficiency

Oh I forgot about ram

You also need ram cope too not just oc cope

But still

You can get big gains

[fresh timber]

lolllll

im not gonna lie

resist

i dont need more intel systems

[nocturne flicker]

Save money. We speeding into recession bois

[amber linden]

why there are no test for 9900x3d vs other 9000x3d

[gentle canyon]

amd didnt ship it to reviewers

https://youtu.be/kH6JGU7ZrWM?si=VwBSzFnKx85oe_lc

atleast the main ones

happened with the 7900x3d iirc

it has fewer cores per ccd so it obv performs worse

they want the main reviewers to review the better product

ex the 9950x3d

[tranquil pebble]

ok Baldurs Gate 3 is way too hard.

Even the first enemies are party wiping me and I am on story mode.

[sage sluice]

i hate to say it man but.. that sounds like a skill issue

[atomic mist]

Baldurs gate is a great game 10/10 would recommend to anyone

You might want to take your time in combat and look at your potential options. There’s usually a surprisingly large number of ways to approach a fight

Big old cliff behind an enemy? Push em off it. Got a weird oil filled glass thing? Light it on fire

[misty sparrow]

so basically fallout new vegas except medieval fantasy

[atomic mist]

Yeah

[misty sparrow]

ripoff 0/10

[atomic mist]

And turn based

It ripped off Star Wars the old republic 0/10

[fresh timber]

I can’t get hdmi out 😦

[tranquil pebble]

literally getting one shot, so clearly a balance issue. lol

[icy ore]

On the carpet is crazy

[tranquil pebble]

I just used a mod to get rid of that nonsense

[atomic mist]

[fresh timber]

It won’t show video out with hdmi

Scrap time

Free hdd for me

[tranquil pebble]

I recently got a cable I have never seen before. It is Displayport on one end, and HDMI on the other. I have seen adapters of this sort many times but never a cable like this lol.

It came with the HP ProDesk I got for $30

[small ridge]

Is the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ AMD RADEON RX 9070 GAMING OC 16GB DUAL better than the 4070 super?

[misty sparrow]

i think but take my words with a grain of salt

[fresh timber]

Hi

[brazen dome]

Might as well spend "$50" extra bucks for the xt and undervolt it to get close to 5080 performance

Allegedly

[storm narwhal]

5080 is 4070 super anyway

Wait nvm I'm dum

[grand kernel]

nice rig

[icy ore]

Scalp it

ITS FINALLY SHIPPED AFTER OVER 3 WEEKS SINCE I ORDERED IT

[wraith fern]

OHHHHHHHHHH THATS CRAZY

[pliant berry]

[devout forum]

It's supposed to be like 40% cheaper

[fresh timber]

ok

seriusly

im about to buy a new psu at this point

mf fan is oing brrrr

corsair time

[rancid juniper]

PC horror simulator

[fresh nova]

Arcane S2 is actually poppin.

[lone mango]

Yeah ik its over

[fresh nova]

It's sooo good

[rancid juniper]

binged that show, it lived up to the hype

[devout forum]

I despise living here
But it is what it is

I might unironically just get a flight to America one day for "tourism" (I'll be building a baller PC)

[hoary zodiac]

Funny thing about Arcane

It didn't achieve its goal of actually getting more people to play league

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

Because the meme around the league community is too strong

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

I honestly didn't see it that way lol

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it's a great show don't get me wrong

[devout forum]

It's crazy to me that I'd save so much doing that I can fund the trip and STILL come out better

[hoary zodiac]

But when league players tell you not to play league

[hoary zodiac]

Yeahhh

[fresh nova]

Ey I ain't finna lie tho shes hot as heck bro

[hoary zodiac]

The show was successful by itself

But not as what riot wanted it to achieve

[fresh nova]

I know she aint real

But listen

[rancid juniper]

its garbage, recently i heard its destroying itself due to the recent updates surrounding chests?

[hoary zodiac]

Not sure

I don't play league

[rancid juniper]

same

[hoary zodiac]

For very obvious reason

The name speaks for itself

[rancid juniper]

i can't imagine being sentenced to 1 year of league

[lone mango]

I have never downloaded it

[rancid juniper]

thats torture

[hoary zodiac]

It's funny how you can have one of the best shows of the decade

[fresh nova]

The whole relationship Mel & Jayce had going was fire

[hoary zodiac]

And it's based off one of the most hated games

[lone mango]

Yeah its worse than being a loyal destiny player in 2025

[hoary zodiac]

At least hated by their own community

[lone mango]

Like a lot worse

[hoary zodiac]

Like Arcane wasn't successful because it was a LoL IP

It was successful because it was just damn good

[rancid juniper]

it had good plot

[hoary zodiac]

That's based and tragic at the same time

It's one of the rare examples where the material outshines the source

[rancid juniper]

the characters and world building was awesome and the animation is stellar

[lone mango]

Like 2025 destiny players like being taken advantage of, but 2025 league players just have an unchecked problem that really needs to get checked

[rancid juniper]

I freaking hate this game
continues to play

[hoary zodiac]

Ngl

EU4 has the best lore

EU4 has a very in depth world

With a lot of interesting characters and backstory

Some of the plot is dumb like

Imagine a monarch inheriting an entire country and dominating Europe

Pff that'd never happen on real life

[fresh nova]

But the Jayce & Mel story tho
