[lone mango]

I understand

[devout forum]

I regret buying AM5

[craggy shoal]

I would put Emerald Green on my GTI if I could

[devout forum]

It's not worth it when you have short funds

[acoustic palm]

Well yeah

[lone mango]

But full size kb on there is funny ngl

[devout forum]

Should've just went with a 5800X3D and AM4

Or even like a 5600 and a 6800XT

[lone mango]

Even if I sell my stuff Im still paying like 250 or something

[devout forum]

Really minmax and take advantage of X3D

I didn't know what I was doing TBF

[lone mango]

It would be like 450 to upgrade to am5

[devout forum]

It's been almost 2 years ago

I was stupid as hell

[lone mango]

Asrock lightning wifi is 200, aliexpress 9600x is like 180, and the tcreate ram is like 88

[hoary zodiac]

Good morning USA

[lone mango]

Bro thats like 470

[lone mango]

3 pm

Oh you mean for you

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

Is it March 17th over there

Or 16th

[lone mango]

17

[hoary zodiac]

Ok right

[devout forum]

AliExpress 7500f for like 80 bucks
110 dollar B650
50 for a decent 2×16 6000CL32

[lone mango]

Bro 470 and thats with going to aliexpress ononono

[devout forum]

It can be done
But I got shafted on a TRULY terrible board

[hoary zodiac]

2025 market

[devout forum]

Like it's SO EFFING BAD

[lone mango]

Am5 itx really expensive

[devout forum]

Oh no it mATX

[hoary zodiac]

Didn't we have a chad yesterday

[devout forum]

ITX is always more expensive because engineering

[hoary zodiac]

That got a sub-1k 9070xt build

[devout forum]

You CAN do it

[lone mango]

Hmm maybe it can fit nr200

Depends on board

[devout forum]

Oh you're attached to that NR200 lol

[hoary zodiac]

How did I wake up at 4:30AM

[lone mango]

Yeah but the price has not gone down yet

[proud jackal]

Do I buy a standing desk

[devout forum]

That's my plan too

[lone mango]

Kinda

[hoary zodiac]

Let the desk sit

[lone mango]

[pliant berry]

yes be like me

[lone mango]

I have a standing desk and I have never stood up with it

Hahahaha

[pliant berry]

mine ended up costing like 1200 but I still need a few mounts to properly mount my pc and speakers

[hoary zodiac]

How do you have that much money to spend on desks

[lone mango]

I completely missed that what the hell

[hoary zodiac]

I'm jealous

[wise wigeon]

i thought i would stand more with mine but standing through couple hours of lectures is a lil rough

[devout forum]

I'm gonna drop like 400 bucks on my desk lol

[wise wigeon]

people spend more on chairs lol

[devout forum]

@lone mango wait
I lied

[lone mango]

Mine was like 230-250 and thought above that was a lot

[devout forum]

Did I say 150cm wide?

It's actually 120

[lone mango]

Yeah

[lone mango]

[pliant berry]

this is pretty common, so far I have been using it a bit, especially for storing my chair under the desk and I plan to use for vr. I also get the urge to pace the room since I get sick of sitting for long periods

[wise wigeon]

i mean ya'll know i got that $60 clearance one from BB

[devout forum]

Cuz the new one will be 150

And that's gonna fill up THE WHOLE SPACE alright

[hoary zodiac]

I want a desk with hydraulics

So it can extend and retract

[lone mango]

Cable situation is not very good

[devout forum]

120cm is like

48 inches right?

[hoary zodiac]

That's what she said

[devout forum]

65 inches would be about 150cm

So that's quite the improvement

[lone mango]

I gotta get some tiny screws to have my power strip on the bottom of the desk rather than on the floor

[devout forum]

I COULD make the 120cm desk work with something like a Fractal Ridge

But even then it'd suck cuz the desk is so bad

[pliant berry]

yeah but luckily you can find a lot of high end chairs for like half price used

[hoary zodiac]

I'm gonna take waking up at 4:30 as a sign from the gods that I gotta study

[rancid juniper]

studying without distraction/procrastinating is pure skill

[hoary zodiac]

Alfred screwed me over so

I got a lot of catching up

[rancid juniper]

lol whos alfred

[hoary zodiac]

The cursed one

[rancid juniper]

ok

[hoary zodiac]

Even in death he still causes me pain

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-bring-it-over-here-now-do-it-gif-126315810905657151

[lone mango]

Yeah so maybe you can get a larger desk then if you gonna get a new one

Then you dont need to change the computer

[devout forum]

I will get a new desk anyway

Cuz this one is

Weeeeeeell

The particle board (I think that's what it's called in English, it's basically compressed sawdust glued together and covered with a plastic sheet)

It kinda swollen from water and potentially moldy

In my defense

We have been literally too broke to fix it

And by fix I mean replace

[lone mango]

Ohhh yeah you can tell by the look

Yeah thats that ultra cheap wood

My first desk I had my laptop on was the same material

[devout forum]

I've used it for

God, is it actually 20 years?

Very nearly that long

I'm old...

It's definitely over 15 years at ghis point

[lone mango]

Chad desk

[devout forum]

I've went through elementary school, middle school and most of university with it

[real zenith]

UNCCCCCCCC

Hella old ppl in chat imagine

Drink from the youth fountain

[honest birch]

my herman miller aeron that i got for free

🙏

[frigid stag]

Ye it’s insane

Can build one for so much cheaper and it’ll be real wood

[wise wigeon]

half priced on a 1500 dollar chair is still 750

[pliant berry]

well yes

[wise wigeon]

these people a lil too lucky man

with a $12 14900k i'd start a new build just for it

[devout forum]

I mean

You saved what, 500 bucks?

That's a really nice platform, AIO and cooler

Just need storage, a case, a nice monitor and a beastly GPU

[velvet summit]

WHAT

TWELVE BUCKS

[devout forum]

Return bins wildin'

NGL

Buying return bins might actually be legit

You can really get going with them

Buy a whole bin for like 500 bucks

Go through it, record doing so
Pick out the nice things and sell them

And then write off the bin on taxes because it's for your content creation business

[wise wigeon]

this was from an update post they brought it to a shop and it was tested and passed with flying colors

no degradation or nothing

[devout forum]

That's actually crazy

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-gun-spin-gif-26539097

[wise wigeon]

steal frfr

i thought the 99 dollar 7800x3d was good but 12 dollar 14900k is absurd

ngl seems like the nvidia supply is getting better

been seeing more people posting their nvidia microcenter hauls

[proud jackal]

Do I buy a standing desk

[pliant berry]

do you like to stand?

[proud jackal]

No but

[wise wigeon]

eh the elevation change is just nice overall

i change it depending on multiple things

[pliant berry]

it's probably not something I would use for gaming. unless you are using with a treadmill, you usually only stand few minutes at a time to wake up which is nice if you are working on something for a long time. if that sounds attractive to you then maybe

[pliant berry]

true

[wise wigeon]

well some games are just nice standing

and I like pacing during lectures so i def enjoy it

[rigid seal]

what should i do w my 7900 gre

[wise wigeon]

wdym

[rigid seal]

idk

[wise wigeon]

its a good card

[rigid seal]

yeah

really good

[wise wigeon]

if it fits your needs no need to dump it and upgrade

[rigid seal]

whyd they stop making them though

[wise wigeon]

i mean it wasnt even supposed to launch global

[rigid seal]

probably gonna keep it for a couple years

wait really

[wise wigeon]

GRE stands for great rabbit edition

or golden rabbit

whicever

something about a rabbit

[rigid seal]

yeah

wasnt it like a chinese exclusive

[wise wigeon]

yeah

and 2023 was year of the rabbit

[nocturne flicker]

Grilled rabbit edition

[rigid seal]

i got it like a few months after it was globally released too

[wise wigeon]

so like mid 2024?

[rigid seal]

yeah in may

got the gigabyte one for 550 usd at the time

[wise wigeon]

good deal

[devout forum]

Maybe I should start buying gear that's claimed broken

[wise wigeon]

?

[devout forum]

Sometimes you just luck out and thing you bought "broken" just
Works.

Or stuff that can be fixed
Fix it and use it

[velvet summit]

going to thrift shops is pretty cool

i'm gonna pop some tags, only got 20 dollars in my pocket
i-i-im hunting- looking for a come up
this is effing awesome
now i walk into the club like what up i got a big-

[devout forum]

Clock

[wise wigeon]

5070 ti i'm returning came in

kinda tempted to test it but

[devout forum]

Is the 5070 Ti good BTW?

Other than being pricey as hell

[wise wigeon]

yeah

[devout forum]

Or it's just a 4070 Ti Super Max?

[wise wigeon]

its a 4080 v3

[devout forum]

Huh

[wise wigeon]

lil faster than a 9070xt (raster), 20% faster in rt

considering the prices of non msrp 9070xts its really not that bad

[devout forum]

It's 480k HUF starting price here

[wise wigeon]

highest end 9070xts are like within 50-100 usd of the highest end 5070 tis

[devout forum]

5070 Ti brand new with full warranty
Used 4080 with no warranty goes for roughly 430k HUF

It's ALMOST competitive

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/kronii-crazy-wink-winking-fast-gif-26436263

[wise wigeon]

but yeah as tempted as i am to test the 5070 ti out

i want muh money back and between installing, ddu, and other testing

its a lot of time sink

[safe cape]

@devout forum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo9T8SlBUaI bad on low W

[wise wigeon]

also its like a special edition or something so i dont wanna ruin the unboxing experience for someone else

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/3PMD1flwExg

[devout forum]

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti EAGLE OC SFF for 480k HUF
Cheapest 5080 is 600k

[wise wigeon]

smaller difference than i thought

[devout forum]

Without watching
Initially no brakes, then Vaseline heats up and burns off, and brakes work again but worse than before

[devout forum]

Don't think it's worth it though

[wise wigeon]

nah

[devout forum]

Cuz you still only get 16 gigs of VRAM on the 5080

So basically you lose nothing going 5070 Ti

[wise wigeon]

just like the 9070xt you can OC the 5070ti to 5080 stock levels

i should open the outside package and film it though before i send it back to wegg

[devout forum]

And that's pretty much kind of enough for 4k atm

[wise wigeon]

just so i cover my butt

[wise wigeon]

enough yeah

but i think they shine more as high refresh 1440p

my 9070xt in mh wilds was something like 100-110 fps no FG

[devout forum]

Agreed

[wise wigeon]

i mean its not native but fsr4 looks pretty darn good

[devout forum]

That was the intention anyway

1440p OLED with it

Getting it would be going full hog tho

And blow out the budget significantly

[wise wigeon]

also i only do big boy upgrades every 4-5 years so

[devout forum]

I mean hell I can get a 6800 XT for like

A third the price

That feels WAAAAAAAAY smarter

[wise wigeon]

think my build is roughly 1700-1800

[devout forum]

Or like a 6900 XT OC Formula for like 35% the cost

That'd do way better for price to perf

[wise wigeon]

nvm closer to 1900 because i bumped up to a more expensive case after the 207 didnt work out

[devout forum]

And it'd STILL do high refresh rate 1440p just fine

Right?

[wise wigeon]

1900 for a 9800x3d and 9070xt build aint bad though

[devout forum]

That's cool

I'm gonna have to contend with massive VAT if I buy anything new

So basically buying used is all I can do

[wise wigeon]

i mean thats no tax

i was just adding the base prices so far

lemme applit fl tax

eh not that bad

2050

lil under actually but

[devout forum]

The good thing buying used is that with one or 2 gen older stuff

Prices are significantly lower and you don't pay VAT

[wise wigeon]

i mean for reference my previous build was like 1800-1900 in 2020/2021

[devout forum]

So I CAN actually squeeze performance out of limited budgets

That being said I intend to build ITX and that kinda shoots the value proposition behind a shed

It COULD work, but it's not easy

[wise wigeon]

that psu alone is a nutters price

[devout forum]

850w SFX-L

Ain't gonna be cheap

TBF
I can save like

[wise wigeon]

but in the sff game corsair is top tier stuff

[devout forum]

30% if I bought the same thing used...

Lemme check actually

[wise wigeon]

but yeah compared to my 2020/2021 build

its something like $200 cheaper

[devout forum]

The options used:

New SF850L would be 72k HUF minimum, probably more like 80k

IDK how good the V850 SFX is

[wise wigeon]

its ok

[devout forum]

But I do know it's the OEM PSU of the nCore 100 Max
So it has to be good enough

[balmy solstice]

feet

[devout forum]

. . .

Go be weird elsewhere

[balmy solstice]

not being weird

[devout forum]

It's never been a good joke

[balmy solstice]

???

ft is feet

[devout forum]

Forint
How many times do I have to explain it's not f*cking feet???

It wasn't funny even the first time
And it's never been funny the next 4739273 times

[balmy solstice]

do you feel better now

[wise wigeon]

this is aris' chart of top three psus in each perf cat

for sfx/l

its like 80% corsair

[balmy solstice]

mmmm loki

my goal 🫶

[wise wigeon]

brother had one in his build

it was ok

[balmy solstice]

better than a be quiet imo

[wise wigeon]

its just the ugly rgb

itsa very gaudy psu

[devout forum]

At least the V SFX seems to be quiet

[balmy solstice]

does it have an off switch

[devout forum]

I remember people complaining that Corsair SFX ones are like SUPER loud

Especially on startup

[devout forum]

Armory Crate 🤮

[balmy solstice]

ngl

id rather take apart the psu and replace the fan with a black one

[devout forum]

It's not the fan tho

It's in the PSU body too

That's why it's gaudy

It's legit designed with RGB embedded

[balmy solstice]

hmm

[devout forum]

Like yes the fan is also an RGB one

But it's not just the fan

[balmy solstice]

who even sees a psu outside of a fish tank

[devout forum]

It is also like

Incredibly expensive

[devout forum]

Lots of ITX cases have the PSU visible

Often right next to the mobo

Especially with smaller cases

Fractal Ridge
Fractal Terra
Uh
2000D
Uhhh
That's off the top of my head

[balmy solstice]

I'll have to see if I can get one from goodwill

[devout forum]

I could 100% find at least 5 others tho

If I looked

[balmy solstice]

ngl goodwill has some random ass stuff

[devout forum]

@wise wigeon just imagine tho
6900XT and 7700X in a Fractal Ridge

Supercharged game console vibes

I can even do a funni

[balmy solstice]

which case do you have

[devout forum]

And get like
Super long cables, stow the case under the TV cabinet, run the display to the desk monitors, use wireless keeb

[devout forum]

Rn?

[balmy solstice]

rnrn

[devout forum]

Montech Air X (the one with the two 200mm ARGB PWM fans in the front)

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/i0ikqz-Cicg

[devout forum]

But yes

I'll be building a whole new rig

And give the current one to my sister

[balmy solstice]

I think i had the non-x of that

[devout forum]

I don't think there is a non-X of this

Like it's just called Air X

No numbers

[balmy solstice]

oh

then it was probably that case

then the fan hub broke

[wise wigeon]

my brothers buid was my old 3080 and a 7600x

so not that far off

[balmy solstice]

waiting a month for a replacement led me to just getting an antec ft case

[wise wigeon]

yeah idk whats with lian li and montech but

[devout forum]

This one

[balmy solstice]

yeah that's it

[wise wigeon]

thats the reason i went with the antec flex onces the lancool 207 didnt work out

[balmy solstice]

I seem to just have bad luck with fan hubs

[tranquil pebble]

is there any way to mod a usb c port to be less prone to debris getting in it?

This has been a serious problem on all my phones

[wise wigeon]

is it really that bad?

[tranquil pebble]

yes it is, even actually killed my last phone's port entirely

[hoary zodiac]

You can have a cap on them

Both the cable and the port

[tranquil pebble]

I think I might have to look into a type c cap to leave in while the phone is pocketed then

[hoary zodiac]

AliExpress is your friend

[devout forum]

Or just

Buy a not-Magsafe cable

Wait crap

[balmy solstice]

https://www.amphenol-cs.com/connectors/usb-connectors.html?page=1

[devout forum]

I thought Magsafe is where you have the connector detach magnetically

[tranquil pebble]

idk what magsafe even is like I use Android

[balmy solstice]

ipv67 usb c ports

[devout forum]

It's a different thing

But yes

You can just get one of those magnetic cables that have the plug stay in the phone

That ought to protect it

[balmy solstice]

don't most newer phones have dust protection in their charging ports tho

[wise wigeon]

so the gpu of the 5070 ti bundle came in and i'm gonna return it, ya'll think its a good idea to open the outer box so I can take pic and record me showing its there

[devout forum]

I mean

I probably wouldn't

[tranquil pebble]

my older ones did but my new ones do not

[wise wigeon]

so when i do return it and if there are shenanigans i cover my butt

[devout forum]

Just snap pics of the outer box to have proof it's sealed as it was when you received it

At least IMO

You can
It's an option
I'd not bother personally

[wise wigeon]

i guess

just worried there would be shenanigans in transit and if they get an empty box i'm SoL

[balmy solstice]

odd

do you live in the us

[tranquil pebble]

yes

my last two phones have been OnePlus

[wise wigeon]

i mean most phones are ip68

so definitely dust resistant

[tranquil pebble]

that does not prevent the port from getting clogged enough to not allow a cable to reliably connect

[wise wigeon]

yeah but ngl idk what you're doing if that happens

my dad treats his phones like crap and the port was never a failing point

[tranquil pebble]

literally just happens from having it in my pocket

i don't think it is dust doing it, but more like lint

[devout forum]

Def lint

You can get it out with tweezers tho

[balmy solstice]

linnit innit

[tranquil pebble]

either way I need a way to protect my phone from it

[wise wigeon]

get a case with a cover

[tranquil pebble]

thinking a port cap would do the job

[tranquil pebble]

I'd have to 3d print one

[wise wigeon]

?

[tranquil pebble]

OnePlus 11 has like no cases for it

[wise wigeon]

averse to buying phone cases?

[tranquil pebble]

no but I use a phone that does have a lot of cases made for it

[wise wigeon]

i see a bunch just trying to find one with a port cover

type of case matter?

[tranquil pebble]

not really

as long as it isnt something absurd like $100 in price lol

[wise wigeon]

usually the ones with port covers are 2 piece with plastic screen covers built in

like this one https://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Mil-Grade-Full-Body-Shockproof-Protector/dp/B0BVB9KM5D/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=162RA9UNVLL7R&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VkAxJJsP1qsbhrdUKoZsovs2OhTelJNNQZ5QaAr3_R0KZPmAkoA6zlWbiiOSwhYbYYaIukAou1lN8TtMrrg8BKEuTNR7-wZLYMWT_Ko722a7EmcaO83vZz63ybYkWsbPU203JvmdoSxR32UZqxYxiy9qaApVJftnsFsQEJig2wqNFC8pL8iSUgNgqFYqwh8QaE42RxdHDjs7ry8tL1-xTKbiji8nZh7Mo8DfX6wYhlo.PwJ7V1UCc2PP2he74ZWVpg-1cdz07MW81qEPPymOuD0&dib_tag=se&keywords=oneplus+11+case&qid=1742245066&sprefix=oneplus+11+%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

[tranquil pebble]

ok thanks I was not able to find anything like that on my own searching

[wise wigeon]

there is one for the same price with a non see through back

[tranquil pebble]

idc about that lol

[wise wigeon]

usually the see through ones the back plastic scratches easily

[tranquil pebble]

as long as the phone is protected I couldn't care less tbh

[wise wigeon]

i used to use iblason cases because i was hella picky about screen protector installs

anyway np

easier to buy a case with one then finda a niche way to use a port cover

[tranquil pebble]

yeah fr, when I first bought this OnePlus there were next to no cases available for it

[wise wigeon]

is, is this the same bot from a day or two ago?

[devout forum]

Likely

Did a thing

[wise wigeon]

alirighty i took pics on two phones

and took vids of each box showing intact seals

oh damn

not a big sale but any money off it is nice

If you're still looking

[wise wigeon]

thats hella funny, I just returned the XTX and the 70 ti bundle and wegg just texted me about my package arriveing

huh the 5070 ti ventus is the #1 bestt selling graphics card on amazon rn

[sweet phoenix]

It was in stock earlier

[wise wigeon]

ik

top 3 are all 5070 tis

i just remember a bunch of dumb posts about how the 9070xt was all over the best selling on amazon and people really glazing amd about that

but if all it takes for the ventus to hit #1 is an ok restock one day the market really is awful and that 9070xt feat is not really as crazy as people thought

[hoary zodiac]

What

[rigid sinew]

ur sign

[hoary zodiac]

huh

[wise wigeon]

we arent aries?

[hoary zodiac]

Is this a piecewise function?

oh i'm an aries

[hoary zodiac]

f(x) = + ax or something

[wise wigeon]

just barely lol

[hoary zodiac]

What

Oh

Is this that astrology stuff

[wise wigeon]

as an aries

this is bs

this pretty true though

[sweet phoenix]

Its purely a matter of where things went in stock and how much there were...?

[rancid juniper]

ngl, this is kinda sad

[wise wigeon]

oh is it a by day thing?

figured it was an aggregate of like the last month or so at least

[acoustic palm]

Huh

Isn’t Ardenalin good

[rancid juniper]

this "bug" has been around for a while

it is good

when it works

[acoustic palm]

Oh

Interesting

[rancid juniper]

in some cases it may not launch outright

but that doesn't mean the drivers are terrible

[acoustic palm]

Oh wait

I need to do my research on building + installing windows + drivers

I was told the Linus video was good right

[rancid juniper]

yea thats fine

[acoustic palm]

also whats vrb on a monitor

[rancid juniper]

I dont think i have that enabled

[gentle canyon]

seems like it lol

[hoary zodiac]

No way

No way

I've been scratching my head over these physics questions

Turns out they were trolling with having different units all over the place

Whoever wrote these questions is actually evil

[icy ore]

[keen jackal]

nicee

one question tho didn’t those evga 2080 tia have fan issues

[frigid stag]

i wouldnt buy one without looking at the gpu z tab

some of them were failing for a reason

[sweet phoenix]

Mine is doing fine but it also has a 2070 xc cooler on it instead of the 2080 ti one, I'm not sure

There's a $260 3060 ti on newegg rn but the less vram will be a very noticeable downgrade for 1440p

[velvet summit]

yipee

[sinful blade]

I found my fricken monitor @sweet phoenix

Acer SB220Q

I could not find that for the longest time

[sweet phoenix]

Shouldn't it say in display settings?

[dense locust]

For my monitor it says in windows

[sinful blade]

It didn’t display it for a while

I had to update drivers

[onyx merlin]

Almost at halfway point on journey to get 2K games on Steam

[sweet phoenix]

Weird

[onyx merlin]

How many games you all got on Steam ?

[acoustic palm]

15

[sinful blade]

Not as many as I’d like

[onyx merlin]

@acoustic palm are you new to computer gaming ?

[acoustic palm]

eh

[sinful blade]

@sweet phoenix IPason E2728S-M on Amazon for $109

[acoustic palm]

ive had my pc for a year

[sinful blade]

How’s that look

[onyx merlin]

So yes you are new.... most Steam users these days got at least around 100-200 games I would say on average if they game often

due to all the sales and stuff

[sweet phoenix]

@keen jackal or a $260 6700xt on newegg

https://www.newegg.com/powercolor-radeon-rx-6700-xt-axrx-6700xt-12gbd6-3dhl/p/N82E16814131782T?Item=N82E16814131782T

[acoustic palm]

ok

[onyx merlin]

What GPU you all rocking ?

[acoustic palm]

i dont rly spend money

[onyx merlin]

I got 4080 Super

[sinful blade]

I’ve been on 6 years and have 43 games

[acoustic palm]

3060ti rn and 9070xt really soon

[onyx merlin]

@sinful blade wowsers.. to be fair I been on Steam Since May 8th 2012.... the golden age of Huge sales on games and back when Bundles were mega high quality and had tons of good stuff

[sinful blade]

Tbf, I’ve only been playing pc games as of the last few years

I’ve been an Xbox gamer for a long time

[onyx merlin]

@sinful blade all my games including my other devices I got around 2000

[sinful blade]

I own like 260+ games on that

[onyx merlin]

in total

[sinful blade]

I am poor

That is my reasoning

[onyx merlin]

I been gaming since I was 4 years old back in 2000 @sinful blade I am 29 now.

Just turned it back on March 12th

[acoustic palm]

i turn 16 today

[sinful blade]

I’m 25, and only started gaming in 2003 with the consoles of the age

[onyx merlin]

@acoustic palm nice happy birthday

[acoustic palm]

thanks

[proud jackal]

must be nice to be young

[onyx merlin]

Also my Very first gaming device my Fat Playstation 2 I got at launch back in 2000

still works great and is older then many people on here

[sinful blade]

[onyx merlin]

20 YEARS WHOLY WOWSERS

[acoustic palm]

i got a lot of issues with my body lmao

[onyx merlin]

on Steam dam lol

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/now-old-man-the-future-is-now-old-man-gif-9677657

[onyx merlin]

GG

I did get called old by some new Carrier in the office who is like 18

I was like if I am old at 29 what does that make the old time over their I pointed at them... the kid was like they are from dinsoaur age

[sweet phoenix]

Felt

Ive been in physical therapy for my back already

[acoustic palm]

im about to go to pt for my legs

[sweet phoenix]

Damn I'm sorry to hear

Whats going on?

[acoustic palm]

numb knees + my shin bone hurting easily

[sweet phoenix]

For me I have l5-s1 issues (disc's at the bottom of your spine) and just general back pain

[sweet phoenix]

Any chance it's tendon/ligament related?

[acoustic palm]

no clue

[sweet phoenix]

My brother has a tendon from his knee to his ankle he needed surgery on to lengthen, similar symptoms

[onyx merlin]

How much ram you all got ? I hope you all have at least 64GB like me

18-32GB is kinda dated

[acoustic palm]

how is 32 outdated...

[onyx merlin]

I mean 32GB is not that good for mulitasking aka multiple programs. at once

[sweet phoenix]

?

[onyx merlin]

I like to have tons of web browsers open and other stuff as wlel

[acoustic palm]

i know what multitasking is

[onyx merlin]

so 32GB is too little

[sweet phoenix]

I can run two games with multiple other things open with 32gb lol

[acoustic palm]

how many tabs do you have open...

[onyx merlin]

I also rock I9- 14900F processor 24 cores and 32 logical processors

[sweet phoenix]

I typically have a game, discord, Spotify, maybe chrome and a valorant tracker open if I'm on valorant. Sometimes I'll run two games at once depending on what they are

Like valorant with minecraft on my second monitor

Though I haven't tried that since I disabled my e cores

[acoustic palm]

idk how you can say 32gb is outdated tho

id say 8gb is outdated

[sweet phoenix]

I think she's joking?

Idk

[onyx merlin]

I got 6TBS of SSD and 4TB Hard drive

[acoustic palm]

i hope so

[onyx merlin]

you all got tons of SSD space right ?

[sweet phoenix]

16gb is just barely enough atm

[acoustic palm]

i got 1tb ssd and 6tb hdd

[sweet phoenix]

32gb gives plenty of headroom for most gamers

3.5tb of ssd space and a 4tb hdd

[onyx merlin]

basically my PC is the bomb for 1440P gaming

[sweet phoenix]

Gigabyte pgm

[onyx merlin]

4080 Super still amazing GPU

[sweet phoenix]

Nah 5080 or bust

[acoustic palm]

smh ngreedia

[onyx merlin]

lol I got this gaming PC last Nov

[dense locust]

4080 doesn’t explode it’s not the bomb

Is the psu the bomb?

[onyx merlin]

Before the Tarrifs went into play

I bet PC parts are starting to go up in price lol

[dense locust]

starting

Have gone

[sweet phoenix]

Gpu prices are wonky, aside from that no

[acoustic palm]

gpu prices are so bad

im glad i got a rly good deal on my 9070xt

[sweet phoenix]

Tarrifs won't affect stock thats already produced and in the US, so it'll take a minute before prices rise

[onyx merlin]

I mean yes obvious 5080 is likely better but I only game at 1440P and run most games on high settings easily

4080 Super is not dated for gaming at all

[sweet phoenix]

I was joking

Because you called 32gb outdated lmao

[onyx merlin]

ahh smart

I mean for me 32 was outdated

[sweet phoenix]

5080 is sad

[acoustic palm]

theres no reason to upgrade from a 4080s rn

like at all

[onyx merlin]

I could not do all the stuff I wanted to do on 32GB

[sweet phoenix]

10% better than the 4080

And costs $1300+

[frigid stag]

30 if you overclock

[mortal grail]

No

[sweet phoenix]

You do know a 4080 super can overclock too right

[mortal grail]

Not even

Lmfao

[onyx merlin]

I am not upgrading my GPU till 7000 seires is out likely

[frigid stag]

Less headroom

[rancid juniper]

9070 XT so strong it makes you think what their true flagship would've been on RDNA 4

[frigid stag]

Obv

[mortal grail]

30 would put it with a 4090 which does NOT happen

[sweet phoenix]

Clearly not a 30% difference

[acoustic palm]

i cant wait to test it out

[frigid stag]

It’s within single digit %

[rancid juniper]

you're going to love it

[mortal grail]

It's 10% average improvement

[mortal grail]

Nope

Absolute cap

Lol

[sweet phoenix]

You can keep making stuff up if you'd like though

[proud jackal]

do i put cpu and gpu on seperate loops, radiatiors and res

[acoustic palm]

quite an upgrade from a 3060ti lmao

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

🔥

[rancid juniper]

keep it on one loop and see what happens

[proud jackal]

its already on one loop

[rancid juniper]

oh, have you tried undervolting?

[proud jackal]

why would i

[rancid juniper]

because its good

Same or better performance with a reduction in power is a win

[frigid stag]

Reddit says “depends on binning” yet every 5080 can hit 3ghz

[proud jackal]

STOP SPEAKING TRUTHS

D:<

[rancid juniper]

lol

[acoustic palm]

for 9070xt if you undervolt and oc it can reach 5080 stock

[rancid juniper]

max power aint needed then

its a waste

[frigid stag]

Truly

[sweet phoenix]

So just to be clear

[rancid juniper]

if its a good bin

[frigid stag]

Can get so much more from it

[sweet phoenix]

12 does not equal 20

[frigid stag]

This is like the worst case normie oc

[sweet phoenix]

And again

[frigid stag]

Lol

[onyx merlin]

I heard more games are forcing you to keep ray tracing on

[sweet phoenix]

A 4080 can overclock too

[onyx merlin]

this is bs

[sweet phoenix]

LOL

[rancid juniper]

all that overclocking to not touch 4090 is an auto L

[sweet phoenix]

Go buy a 5080 and overclock it

Then I'll believe you

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/money-wallet-broke-gif-7855913

[frigid stag]

If you can fund it sure :))

[sweet phoenix]

well I won't because you'll prove yourself wrong

[frigid stag]

It’s not in the cards yet

Soon

[mortal grail]

The best 5080 in the wild gets just shy of a 4090

The single one

[frigid stag]

I beat the average 3080 with my 2080 titanium 🗿

They said it was “impossible”

Lol

[mortal grail]

It's absolute cap

[sweet phoenix]

Again

A 3080 can overclock too

[rancid juniper]

i wish Radeon didn't adopt that PBO based system

[frigid stag]

Again less headroom

[sweet phoenix]

Aight dude

[rancid juniper]

so annoying to find the best all rounder OC/UV

[frigid stag]

You’re not getting 30% more from a 3080

[sweet phoenix]

Its like talking to a brick wall, except a brick wall has slightly more intelligence

[rancid juniper]

compliment?

[sweet phoenix]

LMAO YOU THINK A 2080 TI IS 30% WORSE THAN A 3080

[rancid juniper]

😳

[frigid stag]

0 argument
resorts to insults
My cat is probably smarter than you lol

[frigid stag]

At stock around 30%

[sweet phoenix]

My argument is your own argument

[frigid stag]

20 to 30%

[sweet phoenix]

.

[onyx merlin]

I mean 2000 series is still good for 1080P gaming

[sweet phoenix]

Right there

[onyx merlin]

not so sure at 1440

[sweet phoenix]

Your own screen shot proves you wrong

[acoustic palm]

not really

my 3060ti works fine for 1440p gaming tho

[frigid stag]

I run 4k

Lol

1440p is a breeze

[rancid juniper]

2080ti can do 1440p

[frigid stag]

About 24%

That’s with launch drivers too fwiw

[onyx merlin]

@acoustic palm your GPU is roughly 6 percent better then a 2070 Super.

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[acoustic palm]

your using userbenchmark...

[rancid juniper]

bro...

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[mortal grail]

Why we pulling ubm

[frigid stag]

It’s like a 2080 super

[rancid juniper]

one of the worst sites to get a source from

[mortal grail]

Surely we're better than ubm lmao

[rancid juniper]

use TPU (Tech power up) or TH (Toms hardware)

[sweet phoenix]

?ubm

[topaz crown]

`UserBenchmark is NOT a reliable source of information and has been blanket banned in many hardware communities such as r/hardware and r/intel for what started as an anti-AMD bias but has spiraled into delusion.

In fact, they tried so hard to skew results in favor of Intel's midrange that they even cannibalized Intel's own high end. For example, according to UserBenchmark, the i3-9350K is rated higher than the i9-10980XE.

For a similarly convenient quick-and-dirty hardware comparison website, we recommend using PassMark instead of UserBenchmark.

PassMark CPU comparison: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleCompare.php
PassMark GPU comparison: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/singleCompare.php
Want to know more?: https://youtu.be/RQSBj2LKkWg`

[onyx merlin]

what sites u all use then ?

[mortal grail]

3dmark is the most reasonable

[rancid juniper]

heck even youtube is a better source than UBM

the owner behind it is deranged

[acoustic palm]

this is the 9070xt description

[rancid juniper]

(Doesn't talk about the card)

[onyx merlin]

In 3DMark benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti generally outperforms the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. Here are the key results:

3DMark Time Spy:
RTX 2070 Super: 8,806 points
RTX 3060 Ti: 10,907 points (+23.9%)
3DMark Fire Strike:
RTX 2070 Super: 18,208 points
RTX 3060 Ti: 17,085 points (-6.6%)
3DMark 11:
RTX 2070 Super: 34,964 points
RTX 3060 Ti: 37,941 points (+8.5%)
3DMark Steel Nomad Lite:
RTX 2070 Super: 10,044 points
RTX 3060 Ti: 11,990 points (+19%)
Overall, the RTX 3060 Ti shows a moderate performance improvement over the RTX 2070 Super, with gains ranging from 6.6% to 23.9% depending on the specific benchmark.

so 6 percent up to 23 percent better

[dense locust]

If you see User benchmark as a comedy website it’s a good website

[sweet phoenix]

3060 ti=2080 super

3070=2080 ti with less vram

[acoustic palm]

oh no...

[sweet phoenix]

3060 12gb=2070 to 2070 super, depends on the game

[mortal grail]

More or less yeah without the oc

[acoustic palm]

oh no........

[dense locust]

[onyx merlin]

@sweet phoenix and my 4080 super would you say is 70-80 percent faster then 3060 Ti ?

[rancid juniper]

i keep checking UBM because i really wanna see that 9950x3d review

[sweet phoenix]

No clue

[rancid juniper]

but idk it seems they don't wanna

are they okay?

☠️

[mortal grail]

Around there somewhat

[acoustic palm]

dude

read the bottom part of userbenchmark

[acoustic palm]

the

its so funny

[mortal grail]

Off the top of my head (and this is why TS is good) 3060ti is like some 14K to a 4080's 28.8K

[sweet phoenix]

The call is coming from inside the house

[mortal grail]

I opt for 3dmark a lot cos if you can remember the rough average scores you get relatively close estimates to general performance

It's not perfect accuracy but it's close

[onyx merlin]

thanks

[mortal grail]

I thought you said beat 3080

My 2x8 eagle got 18K stock

10g

[keen jackal]

thx it seems out of stock tho

[mortal grail]

Gpu score

Wym overall I had a 10900K at the time

[dense locust]

Gpus seem to fail a lot less than I thought

[mortal grail]

Lol

[sweet phoenix]

Oof

[mortal grail]

Need to note a lot of 3dmark averages come from users with bloat and cpu mismatches

Take the numbers with a grain of salt

[sweet phoenix]

And disabled xmp

Or just bad ram

[mortal grail]

Debloated, clocked to the moon you would likely beat the average, but a properly set up system will go higher

[dense locust]

Wdym my 5600x is a perfect match to my 5080

[mortal grail]

Even stock

[unreal trail]

https://tenor.com/view/salt-pile-of-salt-pile_of_salt-pile-gif-19467606

[mortal grail]

Ryzen apu lah numbers

No way he doing that on air and more than bench stable lmao

Probably also 1.65v dram lmao

And crashes if the ram passes 65C

Lol

What's his trfc

Yeah he'd crash at even 50c

Tight trfc = low temp headroom

[acoustic palm]

ive had my 3060ti go up to like 85c sustained

[mortal grail]

Talking his ram

[acoustic palm]

ohh

[sinful blade]

So I asked chat gpt to generate images for my name

[acoustic palm]

is 4 sticks of ram for amd like rly bad or kinda bad

[sinful blade]

Who wanna see them

[sinful blade]

Ideally you want 2

[acoustic palm]

well

if i ever decide to go into video editing i might need 64 if i find 32 isnt enough

[sinful blade]

32x2 6000mhz

[acoustic palm]

the mc bundle im getting has 2x16

[mortal grail]

It's not always bad, but generally it can be yes, especially if it's older ddr5 boards or 8gb ddr5

8gb ddr5 sticks are ass

[acoustic palm]

it would be 16gb sticks

[mortal grail]

2x16 is fine

[acoustic palm]

well yeah

but if i decide to upgrade to 64 ever

[sweet phoenix]

Lmao there's $1200 4080 refurbs on newegg

[sinful blade]

@mortal grail which one best fits me

[mortal grail]

2

Absolutely 2

[acoustic palm]

3

[mortal grail]

Yesss

It's so goofy

Lmao

[sinful blade]

This one’s smile is creepy as hell

[mortal grail]

The roomba's are rebelling against humanity

[acoustic palm]

"art"

[sinful blade]

Truly

[storm narwhal]

This one is the best onw

[south sapphire]

So local pc shop did a clone of my c drive and if I hear this right, I don’t have to Download anything. I guess it saves all programs and settings….is that called cloning? Isn’t there a backup/restore where you have to redownload everything and redo all settings

[mortal grail]

Clone completely copies a drive 1 for 1

So it'll be like the exact same thing from the other drive

[mortal grail]

^

[sinful blade]

Wife also likes this one

[mortal grail]

Yeah but you can't assume that the average is absolute unrestricted stock performance

That just isn't the case on there

Many discords use time spy for pc diagnosis lol

Get half baked scores

Then others like "look at my new pc upgrade"

4790k w/ 3090

Lmfao

Ok so why was my low end 3080 1.4k higher than average

I remember those numbers very well cos it didn't overclock higher than about 18.8K

It was the reverse for ampere

You had strix OC's barely stable at stock

Too little stock to go around due to crypto

My point is average ≠ stock

Ye but mine didn't do that

I saw 3080 10G's doing over 19K ambient bro

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WGnFHW @mortal grail found a case and monitor I’m gonna get

[frigid stag]

You’d need over 2ghz

Like 2.1

[storm narwhal]

Is that 3dmark

[mortal grail]

Uh yeah many did over 2ghz

This wasn't a 3090

Many 3080s did 2.1

It was the 90 cards that struggled to hit 2ghz

[proud jackal]

should i move my pc desk closer to the window

😩

[mortal grail]

Mhm

But mine never hit 19K lol

19K was about where my stock 3090 hit

Peaked 21.5K

My 6900XT meanwhile at about 22.5 cos it's not xtxh

I'm very familiar with the cards I own lol

Or owned

*24K

Xtxh most of the time went 24K and higher

24.5 was about the limit using normal means

[mortal grail]

Looks fine but no idea what the monitor is

I mean I worked with like 3 6900xt's

Both non xtxh hit 22.5K

Xtxh I saw many scores up to 24.5 on water

That was the plain advantage of binning navi 21 lol

You don't even use ln2 or sub ambient for navi 21

It hardly benefits

Ofc

You set them to unlimited and hit run lol

We deshrouded one and ran it at about 520W before the hotspot was breaching 105C

The xtxh's would hit the same score with minimal changes and less power lol

It was never needed

MPT gave you enough to work with

Rdna 3 you evc

As with rdna 4

Due to vbios lock

No point if it pulls whatever it wants

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

[mortal grail]

If you run an unlocked ada card for example you get similar results cos you can just set the slider to choose what the card limits are

It's the same thing with rdna 2

Mpt unlock was truly unlocked lol

Besides the vram limit for non xtxh

Rdna 2 was supposedly the most boring of gpus to benchmark because it was so braindead

I mean it did basically nothing anyway

Rebar off vs on the scores changed like less than 0.5% lol

If at all

I was there when it came out

[tranquil pebble]

margin of error territory lol

[mortal grail]

Basically yeah

Nvidia and amd have marginal impact from rebar, cos the use of rebar aids in a bandwidth limit that both brands don't really need

Think of it like pcie 3 vs pcie 4

Most cards see maybe 1% change

Intel leverages it as part of it's core arch

It makes up for years of not being in the gpu game like the other 2 (/ati)

You will get outliers depending on the api and translation layers within a driver branch* but those really are outliers to what is otherwise margin of error

Getting closer lol

[tranquil pebble]

imagine Intel ARC on PCIe 1.0 x1 with no rebar

[mortal grail]

Would be as good as unbootable lmao

[tranquil pebble]

or it would just be Intel GMA all over again

[mortal grail]

You'll probably be pulling like 800W with a mora at that point

I don't doubt the possibility at all cos I know a guy who's hit the 18K dude

Lol

2080ti has stupid scaling I already know that

You need to really go stupid with it tho

[mortal grail]

He even melted his pcie doing it

Card still runs

By getting 18k benches

He runs a dual 360 loop with deltas

Sets the card to pull whatever he wants

He's ran it with my unify x board

Think he's sold it now tho

[craggy shoal]

I need a PC for $2

[mortal grail]

It's 2x8 so more than typical spec by a fair bit

He'd be pulling like 360W+ per 8 pin?

I've not seen his pcie slot draw

[sinful blade]

It’s an IPason monitor, they make the #1 selling prebuilt on newegg(5600g)

From the reviews, the monitor is fine, the NITs are a little low but that’s fine

[mortal grail]

I just know he yeets it until it dies

350 is like 20W over 16awg spec lol

It's not impossible to do but yeah it gets hot if you aren't cooling the cables

And as happened to him it melted the connectors and fused them to the card lol

He doesn't care if it dies tbh but the card just keeps going

450W on a single 8 pin is hot

Temperature is not scalar with going over spec

@frigid stag here straight from the horses mouth, I asked him:

The pcie cables I think are still fused to the card lmfao

Like they straight up are melted on

The cables themselves are fine but the plugs are fused pretty sure

Yeah the plugs are fused

He had fans on them too

800W and melted

You really want water yeah

[craggy shoal]

man what is he yapping about

"About four wheels on average" is how that sounds

maybe five clouds per dog

could be yeah

maybe a ok yes table

[mortal grail]

He talking about his 2080ti

[craggy shoal]

oh

[mortal grail]

I'm not posting the whole chat it's private 💀

He's easy to find if you wanna ask him yourself tho

Ralic is everywhere

And also insane

[proud jackal]

convince me not to buy a nice standing desk

[acoustic palm]

you can gamble instead

[proud jackal]

i already do that with waifus

[acoustic palm]

then do it more

[proud jackal]

i should do drugs

[mortal grail]

Love how both a regular and a mod just openly encourage the new guy's degen response

And we're all cool with it

[acoustic palm]

ok but gambling is fun

[mortal grail]

He's right tbh

[acoustic palm]

i made money off it

[proud jackal]

felix, have you met half of your ban quota for the month yet

[mortal grail]

You should gamble theo

Not yet I'm a nice mod

[rancid juniper]

yo

[mortal grail]

Where's my theocoins

I haven't been paid for weeks

99.99% of gamblers quit before they win

[acoustic palm]

i won big so now i can quit

[mortal grail]

Role model for all

[acoustic palm]

just use the ultimate strategy

gambling squared

[proud jackal]

[acoustic palm]

100 pokemon packs tho

[proud jackal]

15 year motor warranty

[mortal grail]

Buy 9070xt instead

Join me with amdip

the goat gpu

[mortal grail]

Theo what's a "amd"?

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

[velvet summit]

Was this the exploding smart PSU

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

but that's 700W so you should be good (I think)

(Hopefully)

[hoary zodiac]

That is an IED

[mortal grail]

Is it the white label or rgb

Rgb is less explosive but still explosive

[velvet summit]

I don't think it's the RGB?

[hoary zodiac]

"less explosive"

[mortal grail]

HIT THE DECK

[hoary zodiac]

Cope

[frigid stag]

Ye I can get a 149kf for 300 now, I’m done with this low end hardware

Finally real gains

[mortal grail]

Might actually hit 18K with the new cpu

[frigid stag]

19k probably

That’s what someone else hit with the exact same gpu clocks

[mortal grail]

Clocks will vary per card and also how effective they are

You can get some cards that will go fast af on like 2200

[velvet summit]

It says 80+ gold it seems

[mortal grail]

Then others slow af on 2350

Same specs otherwise

Just sample variance

Good chance you'll do better but don't expect the same score

You'll notice this scanning 3dmark scores with identical hardware, clocks jump around a lot despite the scores barely changing

Be it graphics, cpu or overall

[velvet summit]

ABS prebuilt btw

How

[velvet summit]

Seems like it might be c tier?

[mortal grail]

I'm not talking specifically 2080ti, just hardware in general

[velvet summit]

Though the tier list only says 600w

[frigid stag]

🤔

[mortal grail]

My 3090 did 2985MHz and it ran faster graphics scores than others doing 3200MHz

It's just sample variance

Could be tied to a few conditions as well not just the clock when I say that
