Yrag what's the metal sapphire plate look like

Does it look gaudy

I see it in pics and it just looks out of place lol

[wise wigeon]

Usual pulse stuff

Mainly black with the ekg line

And text saying sapphire pulse

In the non gameplay segments the clocks just jump around so much

[mortal grail]

Radeon be like

[wise wigeon]

Is that normal?

[mortal grail]

That text tho, does it look weird on the card

[mortal grail]

Ye

Sometimes you can have an idle demand that bounces around 2 power states

So clocks will go up and down like a yo yo

Depends on the architecture but many cards do it really

[proud jackal]

How are we already mid march

[mortal grail]

Time

[proud jackal]

[wise wigeon]

Explains the run variance I guess

Idk man it’s so weird

[limber crane]

thats how i feel when i realize how old i am already

[wise wigeon]

Barely an uplift uving now

5070 ti I gotta return arrive tomorrow

[mortal grail]

You need to up power limit for real uplift

[wise wigeon]

Tempted to test it but

[wise wigeon]

It’s at +10%

[mortal grail]

If you get only a few % then it's luck of the draw

Pulse was one of the better chances of it but there's always mid asic

[wise wigeon]

Idk it’s just the clocks jumping around really tanks some portions

[mortal grail]

Are you completely gpu bound?

If you hit those sections and clocks drop then it's a cpu intensive section

[wise wigeon]

Probably that I guess

[mortal grail]

MHW is also ass optimisation

[wise wigeon]

Idk if changes per run really

[mortal grail]

Huge spikes in frametime on that game

It's fundamentally flawed

[wise wigeon]

It’s the 4k textures

When you drop to high the framtime spikes flatline

[mortal grail]

Man

That's so busted lmao

[wise wigeon]

People are thinking it’s the version of direct storage used by default

Apparently a mid fixes it

Mod*

Idk maybe I’ll run the bench with textures on high to see if it’s more consistent

Hmmm

Was highest textures even available when I ran benches before?

[mortal grail]

Idk

[wise wigeon]

Oh yeah the clocks are much more consistent

But it’s def still not completely pegged on the gpu

[mortal grail]

So the frametimes were causing clock bounce

[mortal grail]

Ram and cpu OC maybe

[wise wigeon]

9800x3d is a locked 5225

[mortal grail]

Or just a different benchmark tbh cos MHW is unoptimised lol

[mortal grail]

Doesn't matter if cpu bound

[wise wigeon]

The util is hella weird

[mortal grail]

If you're held back by cpu render then you're held back

[rancid juniper]

@wary fjord its becoming possible https://youtu.be/VEo7066YoVo?si=_Al8zigr0_0ctDt5

[wise wigeon]

I’m just wondering if it was correct for me to compare my old xtx scores because the 4k textures download didn’t unlock til the launch

[mortal grail]

In terms of raster the XTX goes much higher

XTX is a good 10%+ higher in raster

[wise wigeon]

Not in everything

[proud jackal]

Must be nice to be young

[mortal grail]

But 9070XT makes up for that everywhere else

[mortal grail]

For a good number of cases it's very much quicker in straight fps

It's the RT work that the XTX fails on

[wise wigeon]

Should have ran a run friday before it swapped

[rancid juniper]

dayum this steam sale have HEAVY discounts

dang it

[wise wigeon]

this is more in line with my xtx results

but that was like 2 weeks ago

i remeber the XTX was more consistent as well i'm thinking it was the 4k textures

[fierce grove]

my setup gets 90 fps on fortnite 🥀

[wise wigeon]

this was the xtx a day or 2 after launch

[limber crane]

not sure id classify 40 as young but its subjective

[wise wigeon]

I cannot remember if i downloaded 4k textures right away

this was the xfx's score

so def before a time with the 4k textures

or at least before i downloaded it

there was always at least a lil run variance

[dusk knot]

Hm

[wise wigeon]

also a xfx score

maybe its just the 70xt beinggoofy

[mortal grail]

What's the 9070XT score with standard ultra settings

Stock

[wise wigeon]

depends

lemme run one now

i

m thinking i might just run it stock -10 pl

Yeah the highest res option was a thing back before launch

[rancid juniper]

imagine if AMD extended the PL limit to -20%

would be a good challenge to OC the card near stock scores

[wise wigeon]

70 xt for me has minus 30 I think

[mortal grail]

MPT

[rancid juniper]

RDNA 3 😭

[mortal grail]

Ikr

[rancid juniper]

RDNA 3 is locked down af

[mortal grail]

Amazing software lost

[rancid juniper]

loved mpt when i had my 6700xt

[fresh timber]

Help

I found a place with Nvidia sheep

[rancid juniper]

thats huge

[fresh timber]

They are calling amd trash, bad drivers, can’t raytrace, said 9070xt is 3% slower than 4070 super

How are people so dumb

[wise wigeon]

Maybe in rt

It’s about the 4070 super in rt

[rancid juniper]

sounds like userbenchmark fan group

[fresh timber]

Xtx is even slower??

Cause it’s 20% faster than the xtx

[mortal grail]

No that'd be if they said it was slower than a B580

[wise wigeon]

It’s barely 3080 territory at times lol

[rancid juniper]

oh

thats true

[fresh timber]

Good enough for me kek

[mortal grail]

I'm tempted to go back to win 10 after the latest news that it's faster again

If not proton

[fresh timber]

No

Uh supported soon

[mortal grail]

They can get stuffed

No one cares that win10 is retiring

The adoption rate on Win10 keeps going up

[wise wigeon]

ok stock settings

[mortal grail]

Yeah that looks about right

[wise wigeon]

but there is some run variance sometimes i get under 200

sometimes i get 204

honestly the clock boost from just uv arent that crazy

it already boosts to 3100+ peaks

[rancid juniper]

big boosts

[wise wigeon]

and the -50 gets it to a lil over 3200

[rancid juniper]

my 7800xt can clock up to 2750mhz+

[wise wigeon]

i mean the stock clock is like 2970

[rancid juniper]

thats high

[mortal grail]

Getting anywhere near 3300 in real benchmarks is actually quite good

[wise wigeon]

it generally runs around like 3070 though

i guess its just weird to me because wilds is weird

in game i'm locking it to 144 anyway for consistency

but if you want real consistency dont use the 4k textures

at least not until you install that mod that apparently sawps the version of directstorage

think i might do my windows reinstall today

found my usb lol

-20 co has been consistent these last few weeks so i'll prob stick with that

and might drop the max temp to 85C

[devout forum]

@sage sluice Are you playing MW3 rn?

[kind turtle]

Mac or PC? Windows 11 GUI better but errors a lot. Mac works better but bad GUI.

[wise wigeon]

For what purpose

[sage sluice]

Me?

I dont even own mw3

[wise wigeon]

I got burned buying mw2

Also just burnt out camo grinding

[sage sluice]

I think modern cod is mid asf and that dookie ass company deserves to fall apart

[wise wigeon]

Yeh it’s just not that many good feeling arcade shooters

[sage sluice]

Using ai art in-game, rushing devs like hell, pushing advertisements in-game, pushing cosmetics constantly

[sage sluice]

Ultrakill

Doom 2016 is still a great game

[keen jackal]

chat what gpu should i upgrade to from my 1660 ti

it would be paired with my 9900k and a 750w psu

[frigid stag]

5070 ti

[devout forum]

Cuz I just met someone with your name lol

[frigid stag]

Honestly anything would be better

Depends on your budget

[lavish stag]

i just activated windows 11 w/o a product key from a yt video

has anyone else done this before?

[frigid stag]

Nice u discovered power shell

[lavish stag]

feels illegal

XDD

[keen jackal]

300$ usd or less would be nice

because all i play is minecraft with shaders and iracing which is cpu heavy

[frigid stag]

Maybe a used rx6800

[keen jackal]

it would

[lavish stag]

it feels weird using windows 11 and not being able to see your graphics card drivesr when you right click on the home screen

[frigid stag]

But ye 6800 or 6800xt would be good too though they’re mainly on used market

New would be like a 6750xt for 300 or less

[keen jackal]

oh actually bet

thx

[frigid stag]

no problem

[dusk knot]

Same

My 3080ti is my gf

Jk. That just cringe

There's nothing good enough rn

[pliant berry]

but... what if your gpu could be..

https://tenor.com/view/neuro-sama-neuro-sama-nwero-neuro-ai-gif-1446067686331404366

[dusk knot]

Well not like her. But you got a point 🤔

[fresh timber]

chat

whats your opinion on EGPU docks

[dense locust]

One of the graphics solutions of all time

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/J8fbXv2BzCA

[velvet summit]

better than nothing but desktops are way better

[fresh timber]

mhh

i have a funny bad idea

[acoustic palm]

Do I fr rewire my entire pc for the funny

[fresh timber]

NGL

do it @acoustic palm then ask why your cpu is at 100%

[acoustic palm]

FRRRRRRRR

[fresh timber]

i ddid that with the 5500 yesterday

so fun

i think the laptop im saving for has a better cpu than my desktop

[acoustic palm]

Bro

I dropped my cookie in my coffee

🥀

[fresh timber]

u drink coffee?

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

[fresh timber]

damn

this thing is super simiar to my desktop

[mental yoke]

guys i have i7 9700 its good or not for gaming only

[acoustic palm]

8mb l3

[fresh timber]

o god

so gaming might not be it

but its still very performate kek

[acoustic palm]

What game

[dense locust]

20% is similar?

[fresh timber]

yes

[dense locust]

20% is a generational uplift

[fresh timber]

i wont notice it

[fresh timber]

nah

5% is

[mental yoke]

like gta

[fresh timber]

9700x vs 7700x 🙂

[acoustic palm]

5?

[mental yoke]

yas

[fresh timber]

im ng

[acoustic palm]

Uhhhh

[fresh timber]

i wont notice the difrence

[acoustic palm]

What gpu

[fresh timber]

compared to my old laptosp atleast, its fatster

[acoustic palm]

It’s only 30$ shut up

[mental yoke]

gtx 1650 super

[fresh timber]

it might beat my cpu in ram intensive things just cause ddr5 beats ddr4

[acoustic palm]

You should be fine

On like 1080p medium? Idk gta intensity

[fresh timber]

quok

..

[acoustic palm]

Wts

[fresh timber]

egpu dock

u just bring ur own psu...

Lmfao i wont do that

i should focus on getting the fund for the damn laptop first

[acoustic palm]

I was looking at a vertical mount for my gpu

Then I looked at my bank account

[fresh timber]

lol

m hoping i can get this laptop before i graduate

i was going to get agaming one, but it doesnt make sense

id rather a nice screen and apu

[acoustic palm]

If I can sell this pc and I really like the design of the gpu I’ll get one

[fresh timber]

OLED

QUOK

the laptop im getting has a 3k OLED display

[dusk knot]

Yesss

[acoustic palm]

Dang

[dusk knot]

But....how bright is it

[fresh timber]

looking it up

And bro

it only cost 1.2k when its not on sale...

I CAN easil sAVE

[acoustic palm]

Oh wait

Did I tell you what my dad also gave me

🙂

[fresh timber]

no..

did i tell youw hat mines geting me

[acoustic palm]

A 200$ monitor stand 🙂

[fresh timber]

lucky

[acoustic palm]

Ikr

[fresh timber]

mines are waiting for my graudation to give me stuff

;/

[acoustic palm]

Idfk if the us will be around till I graduate

😭

[fresh timber]

i hope the ai 9 365 is good for video editing and st uff

if not ill do afun thing called remote desktop to ur pc at home

[acoustic palm]

Damn

I’m gonna have my pc for like

A bit over 2 years

[fresh timber]

the most u can upgrade for your pc is the cpu dawg

ur set

FULip

im praying 24gb of ram is enough kek

[acoustic palm]

I’m not getting an rtx 90 series so yeah

Lmao

Well ram too

[fresh timber]

im using 32gb

im done upgraidng my desktop unless its storage

and ram

[acoustic palm]

I have funny storage

🙂

[fresh timber]

im making a nas

[mental yoke]

oh is good

[fresh timber]

ima be that kid in colelge that goes overkill

i will record 4k 60 video just for a assigment

i will make sure its over 500gb big

[acoustic palm]

It’s not… great but it gets the job done

[mental yoke]

why

[acoustic palm]

It’s an old cpu

[mental yoke]

iknow is like no money

bad contery

[acoustic palm]

Are you building a new pc?

I’d go for amd

[mental yoke]

is expisve here

[fresh timber]

bruh

[icy ore]

[fresh timber]

2080ti price 🤮

[acoustic palm]

Damn 280 ain’t bad

[fresh timber]

id rather a b580

[acoustic palm]

Wait one for 200?

[acoustic palm]

Fair

[fresh timber]

they better fix the linux drivers

calso when i can afford this laptop theirs a 80% chance im wiping the windows install and putting bazzite on it

[acoustic palm]

Uh

Oops

I ate like

650 calories in cookies

[fresh timber]

big bac

[acoustic palm]

I’m 200 pounds and 6’3

That’s not bad

[fresh timber]

UR HOW TALL>

[acoustic palm]

6’3

Did I not tell you

[fresh timber]

no

ur a monste

[acoustic palm]

6’3 200 pounds at 15

🔥

[fresh timber]

i wonder how long 512gb will last me in that laptop

[earnest ferry]

That’s all the disk space you have?

[fresh timber]

no thats the disk space for the laptop im saving for

o goodie, a normal ssd

[earnest ferry]

So long as it’s upgradable. 512 isn’t much considering the size of some AAA games plus you have to have room for big updates

[fresh timber]

one cod update

the most id put on it is fortnite anyways

rest goin be small stuff, roblox, minecraft, anyways

steam local transfer is fire, i can get gigabit transfers between pcs

[acoustic palm]

Vex

I’m not gonna do the funny

It’s not worth it

3x the worth for a quick joke

[rancid juniper]

this guy is a plague

[acoustic palm]

Crazy

[rancid juniper]

i swear every post he puts out is deranged

[acoustic palm]

Idk who he is but I think I’m glad I don’t

[rancid juniper]

yea its best NOT to know

[lavish stag]

guys, i was messing with adrenaline and now my fps is capped at my monitors refresh rate. How can I fix it? (ik it won't make a difference). I only get fps above my monitor's refreshrate when i turn on frame generation

[rancid juniper]

make sure these are disabled ig

and also check freesync settings

[lavish stag]

alr

oh i had enhanced sync on

does that limit your fps? (ik my fps should be above 165 even if its on tho)

is this fine?

[earnest ferry]

Going above the refresh rate of your monitor can cause image tearing. Doesn’t mean you necessarily need to enable that setting, but not sure there is a benefit to having 200fps when your screen can’t display that many frames

[lavish stag]

yeah i know. I'm just curious because i was getting over my monitors refresh rate (frame gen off), and then all of a sudden after messing with frame generation for fun, its capped at my monitor's refresh rate once frame gen is turned off

i was wondering what happened

[rancid juniper]

should be fully on

but its fine either way

[fresh timber]

im ngl

i use amd optmised

[lavish stag]

figured it out i had this turned on

thanks yall

what does vsync really do?

[acoustic palm]

Oh also I gotta question

[rancid juniper]

yuh

[acoustic palm]

When I get my 9070xt should I undervolt it

[fresh timber]

no give me it

[rancid juniper]

just an option to elimate screen tearing by capping fps to your monitor's refresh rate

[fresh timber]

im ngl

i never notice screentearing

vrr+240hz is godsend

[rancid juniper]

freesync helps

[fresh timber]

yeah

i get more than 240 sometimes and dont notice it

[acoustic palm]

Nah I’m good

[acoustic palm]

But should I

Is there any major downside that I’m not knowing about

[fresh timber]

@rancid juniper does his 9070xt bottleneck his 3600x

[acoustic palm]

🙂

[rancid juniper]

at 1080p of course

1440p and up maybe but not much

[acoustic palm]

For real ong

[frigid stag]

3600x is a huge bottleneck

[acoustic palm]

It’s a joke

[fresh timber]

but u tecnicly have that right now

[acoustic palm]

I’m getting my 9070xt way before any other component

[acoustic palm]

No

[fresh timber]

i dare you

put the 9070xt in with current psu

[acoustic palm]

No

[frigid stag]

800 😬

That better be a good psu

[fresh timber]

um

[acoustic palm]

For 9070xt and 850w psu

[fresh timber]

bacca said its a good psu

[acoustic palm]

I mean either way it’s a good deal on the 9070xt

10% above msrp while in a shortage

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah its either b+ or A tier I forget which

[rancid juniper]

either way it wont explode

[sweet phoenix]

Cheapest white psu atm is rm750x at $120

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-explodes-gamers-nexus-power-supply-gif-23202345

[sweet phoenix]

Basically $680 for the gpu

[fresh timber]

why are psu prices so bad rn

[sweet phoenix]

For a white gpu thats pretty average

[fresh timber]

i was looking at corsairs and they soo expensive

[acoustic palm]

B+

[sweet phoenix]

$80 over msrp for an aesthetic is valid

[fresh timber]

theirs a reason my entire setup is black

[sweet phoenix]

Even if we weren't in a shortage, or whatever tf this is

[fresh timber]

im cheap

[acoustic palm]

I could not find any other 9070xt for a decent price

[sweet phoenix]

Mine is white and black, I kinda like the aesthetic I just went for whatever was cheapest and good

[sweet phoenix]

Oh 100%, you got a good deal with availability rn

In normal times, paying $80 over msrp for a white gpu is very average

[fresh timber]

if i had the cash id go with a white motherboard ram, black gpu and case

[acoustic palm]

Yeah and the funny thing is that bundle is still up

[frigid stag]

I’m getting a used psu 🙃

[sweet phoenix]

It doesnt show available when I go on newegg

I have a B stock psu

Its lasted three years so far

[frigid stag]

I’m too broke for the new one it seems

[sweet phoenix]

850 GT was $50, B+ tier

[gentle canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-meme-scared-gif-8945708057941935739

[sweet phoenix]

Replaced an rm650x

[acoustic palm]

Oh it doesn’t now

[frigid stag]

This one should be like less than 50% of the new price

[fresh timber]

bacca do u like the new ryzen a9 chips that give you 4 P cores and a bunch of 4c cores

[sweet phoenix]

I've seen nothing abt it

[mental yoke]

what

[fresh timber]

iv seen good reviews on them

[sweet phoenix]

Idrc about efficiency cores

[fresh timber]

like the Ryzen AI 9 365

[sweet phoenix]

They dont matter for what I do

[mental yoke]

yea the whole core switching is honestly TRASH for OS's

[sweet phoenix]

I have mine disabled for better stability on games

[fresh timber]

cause ur cpu is dead

[wise wigeon]

its good

[fresh timber]

laughs in not borked

[rancid juniper]

[frigid stag]

E cores on truly is the way

[sweet phoenix]

I mean either way they just don't matter for me

[frigid stag]

E cores on ht off

[sweet phoenix]

The 6p is enough for me

[fresh timber]

i wanna test

[sweet phoenix]

Is it 6 or 8?

I forget

[fresh timber]

6

[frigid stag]

6

8 e cores

[fresh timber]

honstly i love my e coefs

[frigid stag]

Ye they’re nice

[sweet phoenix]

Most i run at a time is a game, discord, Spotify, and chrome

[frigid stag]

You have a free 9700k stuck on your cpu

[sweet phoenix]

Maybe one or two other small apps

[fresh timber]

i benfit from having a bunch of apps

[sweet phoenix]

I haven't seen any performance difference in games since disabling them, aside from less crashes on rivals

[fresh timber]

u get more fps technicly

[acoustic palm]

Crazy

[fresh timber]

i think its better to disable Hyperthreading tho

[frigid stag]

It is

[sweet phoenix]

Eh

[frigid stag]

But good luck if you have a 6core

[mental yoke]

what we talking bout?

handheld something?

[sweet phoenix]

Hopefully it won't be in my main rig for much longer

[frigid stag]

8 cores is almost necessary if you disable ht

[sweet phoenix]

Lmao

[frigid stag]

?

[fresh timber]

if u dont have E cores id just leave HT op tbh

[devout forum]

Wait

Is like hyperthreading bad now or something?

[frigid stag]

The game doesn’t run on them

[frigid stag]

Always has been

[fresh timber]

anything els can

[frigid stag]

It’s a bandaid fix for not having enough cores, for gaming at least

[frigid stag]

Ye it’s made for background tasks. Very few games can use them afaik

[fresh timber]

i might disable hyperthreading tbh

[frigid stag]

Beameng does iirc

[fresh timber]

but my cpu isnt broken soo

i wanna ovreclock my ram more

[frigid stag]

And r6 if you turn on APO or whatever it’s called

[devout forum]

I paid for 12 threads
I will use 12 threads

[frigid stag]

It’s basically virtualisation

[fresh timber]

honestly

if i could id swap to a EGPu setup and get rid of my pc

but thunderbolt dont got enough bandwith

[mental yoke]

t5?

t5 can push a lot

[fresh timber]

not maintsream enough

AMD barley got thunderbolt 4

[mental yoke]

its on all the main cpu top offerings, no?

[fresh timber]

not amd

aka the only ones that matter

[mental yoke]

its there if you want it

apple

[fresh timber]

sir

we was talkng about gpus

[frigid stag]

I still thought tb3 was mainstream

Lol

[fresh timber]

apple does not let you do gpus

[fresh timber]

more popular because of usb 4

[mental yoke]

m3 ultra prolly do something tho

[frigid stag]

I kinda want a 16 inch MacBook Pro

But the notch annoys me

[mental yoke]

i got the 14in and love it

notch is weird

[fresh timber]

idk if i wann buy another 15 inch laptop

theyseem to big

iv had 2

[frigid stag]

Apparently there’s a widget that can darken part of your screen to imitate bezels

[fresh timber]

thats why im going for a 14 inch

[mental yoke]

im gaming on an m17r4 though

[frigid stag]

But idk how well it works

[mental yoke]

macos does it automatically on the newest

[frigid stag]

Oh

That’s neat

[mental yoke]

it integrates fine

i thought i was gonna hate it but it works around it well

[frigid stag]

🤔

[mental yoke]

best part of the mbp is the speakers though

[frigid stag]

Ye true

The 16 inch has bigger ones iirc

[fresh timber]

i need to see what other apus amd released

the ryzen ai ones seem like their budget option

[mental yoke]

amd isnt doing tb5?

am5?

[fresh timber]

no tb5 is a intel thing sir

intel made and developed thunderbolt

the fastest AMD gets is usb 4

only intel and macs get tb5

[mental yoke]

whats .... ah nvm

lame

[frigid stag]

Lol it’s funny how thick the new ones are

[mental yoke]

can mobo's integrate tb5 on board?

[frigid stag]

They went from thick to thin to thick again

[mental yoke]

or maybe pcie express but i dont even know what we talking about now

[fresh timber]

LOOK HOW THIN THIS IS

[mental yoke]

i do wish i had one more usb-c port but it works

[fresh timber]

u think 24gb ram is enough for 4k video editing

[mental yoke]

i think i got the 24

but id rather get the better chip i got this for free

[frigid stag]

Could always get one of those usb hubs

[mental yoke]

i got one

[fresh timber]

lol

[frigid stag]

At least you don’t need one as much for the newer ones

The older ones you basically needed to carry adapters

[fresh timber]

i feel like 24gb ram is a nice spot for laptops

more room compared to 16

[mental yoke]

my alienware is beefier but the macbook actually.... does more

better

[sweet phoenix]

24gb is weird, above 16 it runs in single channel so if you're doing anything intensive it's slower

[mental yoke]

honestly, the battery life

:chefskiss:

[sweet phoenix]

Alienware laptops are... certainly there

[fresh timber]

ddr5, dual 12gb exist

[sweet phoenix]

The Dell g15 line has been solid recently

[fresh timber]

not really useful for desktops, but mobile devices :0

[frigid stag]

Would an i9 be worse for a laptop in terms of temps and throttling 🤔

Compared to an i7

[sweet phoenix]

I thought it was only 24gb and 48gb, didn't know 12gb existed

[fresh timber]

for laptops atleast

[sweet phoenix]

It'll still perform better to some extent, but yes it'll be hotter

[frigid stag]

If it’s not being stressed at 100% that is

Like for daily usage

[fresh timber]

whats ur daily usage

[sweet phoenix]

Oh yeah looks like it's laptop only

12gb doesn't exist for desktops

[fresh timber]

yuh

i think for laptops its a good compermise if u get it at the right price

[frigid stag]

Various things, some web browsing with a lot of tabs, a few programs open. Sometimes video editing

[sweet phoenix]

[fresh timber]

[sweet phoenix]

I want to build him a pc but he doesn't do intense gaming

I think the most was far cry 4

Or fallout

[fresh timber]

unironcily if i did a egpu dock id wanna get a 2070 or something for it

[mental yoke]

i just use laptop when traveling otherwise ill stick to desktop. but i like that laptop to be set up and ready to go and basically the desktop

[fresh timber]

I wish i could only use desktop

[sweet phoenix]

I was on a 1240p mx550, that thing was pain

[fresh timber]

its starting to get annoying to torubleshoot stuff when i dont have a laptop

[mental yoke]

yea its worth having multiple devices

[sweet phoenix]

I bought a 6800u 3050 ti laptop for $450, and sold that laptop for $400

[fresh timber]

when i troubleshoot my networking i littlrey have to haul a desktop to the router

luckly my 2nd one is small

[mental yoke]

gross

[fresh timber]

then doing iperf3.. if its not in the same room i dont even attempt

[mental yoke]

i bought this refurb lenovo thinkpad for like 100$ off amazon and used it for school, but theres some cheap laptop options out there

[fresh timber]

i alr have a few acessories

[mental yoke]

came with like win 10 pro and some other goodies

[sweet phoenix]

Def, for high-school I used a $45 laptop i got off fbm lol

[fresh timber]

i ahve a usbc to ethenet adapter

[sweet phoenix]

Screen and battery life were terrible

[mental yoke]

laptops are really nice for troubleshooting though if you like plugging into routers and stuff

[fresh timber]

yup

another reason im going light 14 inch

1 handed

my old gaming laptop, bulky, heavy, jsut ew to try using

and it would be too hot to use

[mental yoke]

i was using the mbp playing a game on a 4k tv and doing work on the laptop screen on battery and was going for like 4-5 hours

[fresh timber]

damn

[mental yoke]

but i was eyeing those samsung ultrabooks before i got this for free

[fresh timber]

for 4k gaming id just use moonlight tbh

4k 60 150mbps lowkey

[mental yoke]

the battery wasnt even half way gone

but thats just apple stuff

[fresh timber]

i really recommendd game streaming and a apu laptop if u have a dekstop

if ur network can handel it of course

[mental yoke]

rather just have 10 desktops in each room personally

[fresh timber]

lol

i lowky wanna make a portable network

[mental yoke]

o7

[fresh timber]

i go to my dads house sometimes and he does not have good wifi at all

what i got is a small pc

goin bring a extra router, repeater mode, plug desktop into it and when i get laptop easy remote gaming with out the will of his trash network

[surreal comet]

Finally got my car back on the road

Just to realize my tires are cracked

I cannot win

[earnest ferry]

Ouch. That sucks man

[surreal comet]

Gonna have to limp it to the garage when the new tires show up

Used it as an excuse to buy actually nice tires for once atleast

[unreal trail]

[wise wigeon]

Oh damn $140 gigabyte b650m with free ram

Not good ram but free ram is free ram

[rancid juniper]

samsung drive is drowning

[icy ore]

putting in work

[rancid juniper]

heck yea

[wise wigeon]

I forget is brave browser decent

Ublock being disabled on chrome has pissed me off but I do need some of the extensions from webstore

[sweet phoenix]

The mobo isn't good either

5+2+2 vrms, could probably handle a 7800x3d max

Throttles at 100w

[wise wigeon]

Ah damn

[sweet phoenix]

Fine for a budget build like a 7500f or 7600, and I'd replace the ram when possible

8gb sticks on ddr5 suck sadly

[wise wigeon]

I was considering it because I would need a matx board for the Dan a3

[sweet phoenix]

B650m pro rs or b850m pro-a rn

[wise wigeon]

Yeah I figured

Oh well

[sweet phoenix]

What cpu were you planning?

[wise wigeon]

I was just thinking of it as an option to swap between with my 9800x3d

[sweet phoenix]

Ah yeah I'd do smthn better for that

[wise wigeon]

Yeah 9800x3d pumps like 20more watts over the 7800x3d

[sweet phoenix]

Maybe with a uv itd be alr

[wise wigeon]

Reminds me that now that I’ve finished my reinstall I gotta go do that

Wish there were more updated uv guides

[rancid juniper]

make 13600k pull 100w max without performance loss challenge: EXTREME

[wise wigeon]

At least from YouTubers I trust

[lavish stag]

If i use a new ram kit, i need ro re-enable xmp right

[rancid juniper]

[heavy dew]

ITS JOEVER

[pliant berry]

it is indeed, joever

[heavy dew]

I got a 360 arcade, as soon as i press the power button, green light turns on then off and the power supply light goes red

The power supply works fine with another 360 arcade

[fresh timber]

[sinful blade]

Get me a new gpu pls

[fresh timber]

im buying my self a new laptop and maybe a 5080 if i can get msrp kek~5

[opaque sedge]

must be nice my dad instead took 5k from me

[rancid juniper]

heavy hits

[fresh timber]

umm

what type of laptop does $4000 give you

[rancid juniper]

you know, one thing i realized is that when people think of gaming pc's or pc parts in general its mostly the gpus

i mean every video you come across talks more about gpus than anything else

does x can run this?

and so forth

[hoary zodiac]

Did he take the meat too?

[opaque sedge]

parts remind me i just received my new controller

[opaque sedge]

my parents dont eat beef

[rancid juniper]

👀

[fresh timber]

will a 13600kf bottleneck 5090

[rancid juniper]

lol

[hoary zodiac]

L

[fresh timber]

if i was irrisponsable i would totally do it

[rancid juniper]

quite insane but alr

cant imagine spending thousands on some fat sand brick

or whatever is in it

[opaque sedge]

4 extra remappable buttons

Elden ring and poe2 gonna be lit on this

[pliant berry]

that doesn't sound good

[hoary zodiac]

Play among us on it

[fresh timber]

im responable so i wont do it

[rancid juniper]

that looks nice

[opaque sedge]

The stick centering is also on point

Just as good as potentiometer sticks on my steam deck

[rancid juniper]

real question tho, is it good enough not to stick drift?

[sinful blade]

Just get 9070xt

Ez

[opaque sedge]

Tmr joysticks

[rancid juniper]

✅

mmm

[fresh timber]

real

[opaque sedge]

Also comes with this pretty neat charging dock

[fresh timber]

a 5080 would be neeter tho, just one cable

[sinful blade]

But twice the cost

[opaque sedge]

For 60 bucks sheesh this is quite a nice controller

[fresh timber]

but im not spending $2000 on a damn gpu and laptop so 9070xt

[hoary zodiac]

I read that as meat charging dock

[opaque sedge]

And low latency 1000hz polling rate on the wireless dongle

[sinful blade]

I honestly just want myself a nice 2080ti and then I’ll be fine for years

[opaque sedge]

Yes you read that right on wireless

[hoary zodiac]

Real

I've been on a 2070s for years

[fresh timber]

bro i was looking at used 2080ti prices if i was to make a EGPU dock

a nvidia card just makes more sense for that

[hoary zodiac]

And the longer I've had it the more I've realised how overkill the gpu is

[opaque sedge]

@rancid juniper

[hoary zodiac]

I could use a better cpu tho

[heavy dew]

My dad gone

[opaque sedge]

Alright time to launch a game and test out the controller

[rancid juniper]

Nice

[heavy dew]

Also why the bombo clat is your name conquest

[opaque sedge]

Actually now i dont know what i should do with my wired one…

[heavy dew]

He saw that ONE episode of invincible of conquest being a certified freak

And he’s like hey that’s me

[hoary zodiac]

NOOOOOOOOOOO

GROCERIES ARE GOING UP

[fresh timber]

im ngl

[opaque sedge]

hello again old friend

[fresh timber]

if i upgrade my rig id just go overkill with 128gb ram kek

[opaque sedge]

i have come back for suffering

[heavy dew]

You know what’s not going up? The cost of this segue to our sponsor!!!

[lone mango]

[sinful blade]

It’d be a massive upgrade for me, and I could give my 5700xt to the wife

But I am too poor

[fresh timber]

i feel ya

i was on a rx6600 for the longest

[hoary zodiac]

To be fair

[sinful blade]

Gaming

[hoary zodiac]

The 5700XT had a msrp of $399

Gaming used to be a lot more affordable

[sinful blade]

I got mine for $100

[fresh timber]

damn

ima make a list of hat i wanna do with money

i wonder what $4000 pc gets u

[pliant berry]

why spend 4k on a pc

[fresh timber]

im not but im bored

mc server is getting boring

i think my plan is laptop, 2tb nvme in it, 4tb in pc, call it a day, maybe more pc ram

[sinful blade]

Peak 4090 build

[fresh timber]

lol

how are oled prices doing these days

[sweet phoenix]

Meh

[surreal comet]

Was gonna make a whitty comment but I forgot

[fresh timber]

woah

WOAH

THESE PRICES BETTER STAY NEXT MONTH

[surreal comet]

They won't dw

[fresh timber]

as long as its below $250 im happy kek

[surreal comet]

Calling them rn to make them 260

Just to spite you

[fresh timber]

cry

2tb makes more sense lookingat these prices kek

[sweet phoenix]

4tb and 2tb are about equal in price/tb

[hoary zodiac]

They are?

Nand prices are getting better now huh

[sweet phoenix]

They've been sitting still for a little while

Few months or so

[opaque sedge]

Ok this controller is frigging sick

Super responsive

The sticks feel awesome

The buttons feel great

I absolutely recommend it for 60 bucks

[fresh timber]

i only need $1400 to get evrything i want, then ill save everything els kek

[fierce grove]

the 9070 non xt is actually so good wtf

5 min togenerate a pic of an apple

im not sure how this is an apple

but yeah

[dusk knot]

You have to believe it's one

Jk. That's some very colorful static

[rancid juniper]

if you're running stable diffusion you want to go with one that uses ZLUDA

[nocturne flicker]

ZLUDA go vroom

[brittle lynx]

you have to arrange the pixels yourself

[surreal comet]

These new captcha tests are insane

[dusk knot]

https://youtu.be/wNSeGONn9wc?si=-2Im04H8uMpF9Rj9

Ffuuuuttttuurre.

[pliant berry]

robotics in the age of ai is really interesting. one of the issues with robotics is just how complex they are to program. machine learning and ai I would imagine can help a lot.

[pliant berry]

wait is that the same voice actor as the snake in ninjago

[mortal grail]

It's the same voice actor that played frieza lmao

[pliant berry]

oh I think they also played the snake in hazbin hotel

[dusk knot]

Yeah. It's a great time

Still waiting for the time when AI can start designing themselves

So that they can greatly accelerate progress in every field

I need the future NOW!

[pliant berry]

I think I'd be ok without that

[dusk knot]

Humans are what we should really fear

[sweet phoenix]

Uhhhhhh

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/robot-chef-gif-10946521240892606223

[hoary zodiac]

Yesh they've been saying that since the 60s really

[sweet phoenix]

Pretty sure self aware ai is just as bad as humans

Ai designing itself is a very clear road to disaster

[hoary zodiac]

AI is as bad as the person making it

[sweet phoenix]

Ai has access to everything that is online.

Well, it can

[dusk knot]

Assisted progress where the machines have their interests align with humanities...the best possible outcome from AI.

[sweet phoenix]

Including the worst of humanity

Thanks auto correct

[hoary zodiac]

Well yeah that's why AI needs to be properly designed

[dusk knot]

It would be fun

[lone mango]

This has got to be meat canyon

[dusk knot]

[sweet phoenix]

...

[pliant berry]

heck if I could live in Stray they would be epic

[dusk knot]

Yeaaaaaahhh

But the humans died

[hoary zodiac]

https://youtu.be/Q-FNPRfkOg8

[dusk knot]

Just transfer your mind into a machine..ez

[pliant berry]

wasn't there something like that in the movie chappie

[dusk knot]

Man....they have soo.many interesting topics in the originals

[dusk knot]

Yeah

Also I highly recommend everyone watch the show Pantheon on Netflix. Thanks

It's about uploading people into computers

[pliant berry]

that reminds me I need to watch 2001

[dusk knot]

For the first time?

[pliant berry]

yee

[dusk knot]

Smh.

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah the ideas were pretty deep for 60s sci fi

[dusk knot]

The movie's been around for 57 years, ghost

[hoary zodiac]

Feels like these days sci fi can lean too much towards realism

[dusk knot]

Why current star trek is cooked

[hoary zodiac]

Theatrical movies and shows should make a comeback tbh

[dusk knot]

I agree all the way

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah it's so boring

They have nothing to say

[dusk knot]

Nothing

[hoary zodiac]

It's always about war between who and who

Strange New Worlds does try to experiment with new ideas

Which I'll give them credit for

Show is still a hit or miss overall tho

[dusk knot]

Truth

[hoary zodiac]

Even in voyager which I consider to be a hit or miss show

Voyager was confident in what it was

[dusk knot]

Hhmmm

Yeah

[hoary zodiac]

And explored a lot of interesting ideas

[wise wigeon]

any browser peeps in here? is brave an ok browser?

[hoary zodiac]

Had some really bit misses but a lot of great hits

[dusk knot]

totally

[hoary zodiac]

That's what made voyager great really

It was bold

[dusk knot]

My favorite one tbh

[hoary zodiac]

Sometimes it can get silly but man it's nice to just have a villain of the week sometimes

[dusk knot]

Yeah

[hoary zodiac]

Equinox was a great two parter too

[dusk knot]

What made the show fun and the cast is Soo likable

[hoary zodiac]

Peak trek imo

[dusk knot]

Yeah. Those creatures from whatever dimension scare me

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah the had a lot of gold on their hands

The doctor was always gold

[dusk knot]

Always. my favorite doctor

[hoary zodiac]

Seven, Janeway, Tuvok

That cast was pretty stacked

[dusk knot]

Very

[hoary zodiac]

And if you contrast it to strange new worlds

Half the time they try to use legacy characters for cheap drama

Like I want to see the interesting sci fi scenario not the high school drama on a military vessel

Strange new worlds have some pretty good episodes but a lot of filler too which is holding it back imo

SNW does have some pretty interesting characters and it's kinda a shame they don't get more focus in the central story

I guess we'll just have to see what they'll do in season 3

Gonna hope the other cast members get more to do

[pliant berry]

I never really got into Star Trek but to me it doesn't look like a series that should be going on as long as it did

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah the franchise suffered fatigue in the early 2000s and just died

The recent revivals are a mixed bag

[dusk knot]

In comparison, Strange new world lacks professionalism, techno babble, seriousness, and stories that are almost borderline controversial and make you think right after the episode finishes. If They can just figure these out the show would be perfect.

[hoary zodiac]

Oh my god yes

The professionalism is one of the things that annoy me

[dusk knot]

Oh and please....no cursing

THERE'S NO CURSING IN THE FUTURE

[hoary zodiac]

They're supposed to represent the future of humanity

And yet they act like teenagers

In the episodes where they are actually being serious they really hit it on the nail

The season 2 premiere episode was pretty good

Although the subplot is kinda sus in the sense that they stole a starship and had no consequences

[dusk knot]

It shows you how childish people are in Hollywood in our decade.

American culture in general

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I think it's got something to do with the writer's strikes in recent decades

Less experience people in the industry

So this current generation of writers didn't have as much veterans giving advice

[dusk knot]

Yep ...It all happened before 2010

[hoary zodiac]

It's such a shame because on average

The shows from the 90s-2000s were bangers

If only they hadn't cancelled firefly...

You're not getting anything like that in 2025

Well to be fair we do have good shows

Just a lot less of them

[dusk knot]

Smh....Soo many great shows.....😔

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

[dusk knot]

Great shows do pop up, they just hardly happen now..

[hoary zodiac]

90s Trek, Quantum Leap, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Farscape, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Firefly

And that's just off the top of my head

[dusk knot]

Farscape... lol

[dusk knot]

We had V, Terra Nova, and Lost.

Enterprise.
..rip

[hoary zodiac]

Enterprise was a tragedy

They actually got it together in the last season

And bam

They're gone

[dusk knot]

Discovery....got more seasons....💀 💀

[hoary zodiac]

Discovery is a perfect example of an identity crisis

That show was all over the place

[dusk knot]

It was disgraceful

[hoary zodiac]

The only good thing that came out of it was strange new worlds

Anson Mount carried season 2

[dusk knot]

Discovery is what the sequel trilogy is to Star Wars

[hoary zodiac]

Doug Jones also gave a pretty good performance

Saru was the only person on that ship that acted like an adult

[dusk knot]

Yes!!!!the only character I didn't want dead lmao

[lavish stag]

how come the 6650xt core clock is this much when i'm only getting around 1200mHz when i play games at 100% utilization?

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I was pretty happy that he got a good ending in the last season

Everything else is pretty forgettable

[dusk knot]

I slept at season 2

I had enough..idk how you did it..

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah don't watch the next two seasons

It's not worth it

I'd rather watch season 1 TNG

[dusk knot]

😂

[lavish stag]

is core clock different from the clock speed in the image?

[hoary zodiac]

Depends on your model

[dusk knot]

It's always after three seasons or so they get it right

[hoary zodiac]

It also may be throttling

[hoary zodiac]

I went from Discovery to Orville

[lavish stag]

this is my model. I have it overclocked from around 1200mhz to 1560mhz. But it's no where near where it's listed online....

[hoary zodiac]

Massive contrast

The orville is

Well

[dusk knot]

But, boeing..it's getting Soo hard to find good shows nowadays that aren't anime. It hurts my soul as an avid movie and show watcher. @hoary zodiac

[hoary zodiac]

It's pretty much all the good ideas from Star Trek made into a new show

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I don't even watch new shows

I just go and look for old ones that I haven't watched

Which is pretty sad because there's going to be a point where I run out

[dusk knot]

You should maybe watch Pantheon on Netflix...I think you'll enjoy it

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I'll uhh

Hmm

[dusk knot]

Uuughh??

[hoary zodiac]

I cancelled my netflix a while ago

Gonna find a way somehow

[dusk knot]

AAAAAAGGHH!!!

ok

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I gave up on netflix

It's like cable

[dusk knot]

Good call

[hoary zodiac]

I watch like one show

it's a shame too

[dusk knot]

You have AMC+?

[hoary zodiac]

I have prime video

💀

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[hoary zodiac]

I can always buy the dvd and blu ray release

[rancid juniper]

stange thats real low clocks

[lavish stag]

psu issue?

[rancid juniper]

have you checked its power draw?

[lavish stag]

ik...

nope

[rancid juniper]

you should

[lavish stag]

alright

can i check that in afterburner?

[rancid juniper]

like afterburner's OSD?

[lavish stag]

yeah

[rancid juniper]

ye

[lavish stag]

ight

[hoary zodiac]

What gpu is it?

It might be throttling

[lavish stag]

6650xt

i have 700 watt evga psu

[hoary zodiac]

Which 6650xt

[lavish stag]

xfx qick 308

[rancid juniper]

does this occur on EVERY game?

like the gpu maxing out with low clocks?

[lavish stag]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

Hmm

[lavish stag]

even on overclock its at 1560

[hoary zodiac]

Not thermal throttling then

[dusk knot]

Imagine buying physical media

[lavish stag]

i noticed my gpu is hella cool thou

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's kinda the thing

[dusk knot]

Jk. When the Internet goes down it's a must

[rancid juniper]

can you open up adrenalin please?

and go to the performance tab?

[lavish stag]

before overclocking it was around 43C at max usage and after overclocking its around 48C

kk

[hoary zodiac]

Streaming services are getting so unappealing that physical media is unironically looking good again

[velvet summit]

when/if the internet completely goes down

[hoary zodiac]

I don't want the show I'm watching to just be pulled

[rancid juniper]

you should check hotspot too

[opaque sedge]

@dusk knot do u like rgb?

[lavish stag]

hotspot isn't usually more than 52 or so

[velvet summit]

i think we would have bigger problems than not being able to watch movies

[rancid juniper]

Hotspot is usually the temperature you should keep an eye on

the core temp usually stays cool
