[frigid stag]

Has more character

[median frigate]

Looks don't matter only the fps 😇

[frigid stag]

Only thing is the different rgb software ig you can use signalrgb though

[median frigate]

Rich people activities

[frigid stag]

It’s kinda hard to find parts without rgb

[median frigate]

Most of my build has no rgb

Only the ram and cpu fan

Lowkey do want a gpu with rgb tho

[frigid stag]

Ye its one of the parts that don’t always have it

For cases and stuff like that even the cheap ones have it

[slate fractal]

very slight modifications to fit into my case

[dense locust]

I just noticed

Oops

Now I gotta edit it

[dusk knot]

O-O

[dense locust]

Nothing live getting an expensive case because it has the color you want

[dusk knot]

true

whats your full build list? @dense locust

[opaque sedge]

Gahdamn better have an oled monitor to pair it with as well

[dense locust]

Yes

Got it with the gpu

[median frigate]

If anyone gets there hands on a 5070 and are looking to sell it dm

Preferably a 2 fan one

Hmmm

F to f argb is cheap

[lone mango]

Wow a white card that doesnt have a ridiculous price

[median frigate]

👀

[dusk knot]

What ram did you buy?

[dense locust]

I haven’t bought one yet

[lone mango]

https://a.co/d/7PKJlut

Maybe

[tranquil pebble]

I am going to do a stupid one of these days and set all RAM timings to max to see what happens

[craggy shoal]

There's a random car in front of my house so I put a pointy bolt in front of its tire lol

"But that's super rude" it's suspicious that it's been here for more than half of today

[tranquil pebble]

hmm, I wonder if Windows has any issues when it is given more RAM than total disk space

[velvet summit]

i dont think it does

[tranquil pebble]

probably just cant hibernate

[velvet summit]

possibly

[fresh timber]

i woke up from yn nap

[fresh timber]

shoudlnt tbe a problem

us the right windows verson designed for that

[fresh nova]

Switch 2?

Less than what I expected.

At least it has 4K output to TV.

[fresh timber]

i hope it supposts 1440p so it can scale on monitors right

also easier to run cough cough

[proud jackal]

Can't wait for the secret price increases to hit it

[icy ore]

Neighbor just got a 75” qled tv, went to see it

Man

Might’ve sold me

[dusk knot]

but not oled

[icy ore]

Yeah oled still hella expensive lol

They got this tv for free actually

[dusk knot]

crazy

[icy ore]

Verizon did a special where if you buy two phones they give you free tv

[dusk knot]

well thats a shocker

they usally pair things with cheap items

[gilded kraken]

Bruh. The MSI vanguard 5080 is almost 1600 bucks now 😦 dude rip

[fresh timber]

I want oled tv but money

[storm umbra]

should i still be avoiding asrock motherboards for my 9800x3d still?

[frigid stag]

💀

[velvet summit]

i would avoid asus ||prime||

[frigid stag]

~~ could’ve not put prime and it still wouldn’t be wrong~~

[velvet summit]

real

[dense locust]

I’ll let you know

[north crescent]

i would avoid ||asus prime||

[storm narwhal]

I would

[north crescent]

I

[tranquil pebble]

it is primed to a sus mobo

[storm narwhal]

Sus mobile

[fresh timber]

my isp died

[tranquil pebble]

least they did not call it Switch U

[fresh timber]

ill do you a solid https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck/

[rancid juniper]

terrible

[tranquil pebble]

Build quality is top notch on those

[north crescent]

Well if they plan for Switch 3 or just easily saying the name, prolly pretty good they didnt go for that

[rancid juniper]

yea i get it

[rancid juniper]

true

but it makes me wonder if they'll ever like make a new design overhaul

i guess they found their perfect design

because i don't think nintendo will make a standalone box anymore

@icy ore u wanna halo? lol

[tranquil pebble]

imagine if the Switch 3's dock was an eGPU for the Switch 3

[rancid juniper]

ngl, when you think about it that way

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-hmm-thinking-smile-gif-12571277

[median frigate]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MV3bGJ

Yall think I should still get a 5070 for this

I've bought everything except gpu

All the reviews on the 5070 are so bad 💀

[fresh timber]

overlay sucks, turn it off

input latency

[fresh timber]

msrp sure

[rancid juniper]

noted

[fresh timber]

might affect fps, not sure tho, i just now its a thing comp players turn off

[median frigate]

Man its like damn near the same as a 4070

[fresh timber]

depends on price ttbh

unforutntly 5070 has good stock for me as well

[rancid juniper]

nobody really wants a 5070

[fresh timber]

if i can make it happen im honestly just going to get a 5070 sense they have stock

[rancid juniper]

5070ti more likely

[fresh timber]

its a like 30-40% improvment over what i got, ill welcome it

[median frigate]

Uses a diff die then the 5070

💀

[rancid juniper]

yep

thus much faster

how much the 5070 going for rn?

[median frigate]

What u got rn?

[median frigate]

550 msrp

[rancid juniper]

oh

[median frigate]

Idk if there is anything better I csn get for that price

[rancid juniper]

im cringing so hard

[median frigate]

Trash

[rancid juniper]

buying cards this year is not feasable

[devout forum]

Okay what's with the ghost ping?

[fresh timber]

7700xt

[fresh timber]

id unironcily spend the $700 if it wasnt a dual slot

[median frigate]

9070

[fresh timber]

no stock

[median frigate]

I might get that

[rancid juniper]

12gb

[fresh timber]

[fresh timber]

i have 12gb now, im fine with it

[rancid juniper]

u wanna spend $700 on a 12gb card?

☠️

[median frigate]

Bro not really

😭

[fresh timber]

u think i play vram intensive games

[rancid juniper]

its not that

[tranquil pebble]

I am keeping my 6900 XT for a while lol

[rancid juniper]

games going forward is gonna suck up vram

[fresh timber]

my most intensive game

[median frigate]

Comp what gpu would you recommend

[fresh timber]

you think i play the newest games

[median frigate]

Best price to perf atm?

[fresh timber]

the newest i play is b06 lmfao

[rancid juniper]

didn't say you do

[rancid juniper]

man...

[storm narwhal]

Not to mention missing rops

Burning your house down

[fresh timber]

RMA ez

[fresh timber]

only 5090

[storm narwhal]

Extreme instability out of the box

[median frigate]

Philosophical question

[fresh timber]

plus if it burns my house down thats a law suit

[median frigate]

These days

[rancid juniper]

9070 XT is the best price/perf card but the prices are real bad

[storm narwhal]

Because all their drivers broke

[fresh timber]

you sold me a fault firehazad, ill sue you

[rancid juniper]

what card u own currently? @median frigate

[storm narwhal]

Yeah good luck paying the lawyer fees against nvidia

[fresh timber]

if the fire department said my gpu was the cause theirs not much arguing that

the insurance will go after nvidia

i just sit and file a claim

[storm narwhal]

Never know what a corp might do...

Or can do

[fresh timber]

thats why you read ur contract with ur insurance

reading is a important skill you use to make sure they dont try skipping out on your payout

[storm narwhal]

They have the best lawyers money can buy they'll figure something out lol

[median frigate]

Nothing air

I sold my last build I had a 2070

[rancid juniper]

oh

[fresh timber]

all i care about is as long as my insurance doesnt find me at fault

[storm narwhal]

Nivida could be able to do that NGL

[fresh timber]

i dont think thats how it works

[median frigate]

I might just get a 5070 tho

[storm narwhal]

Somehow twist it on user error

[median frigate]

Perf diff gonna be huge for me anyways lol

[storm narwhal]

Like last time with the melting connectors

[rancid juniper]

alr if you can find one at msrp or lower then maybe its a cop

[fresh timber]

firedepartment makes report, report goes to insruance, insurance does insruance thtings and pays you out, and if needed they go after who the company who made firehazard

[median frigate]

Yeah it's been in stock recently

[storm narwhal]

"Oh it's your guys fault for not plugging it in all the way smh"

[median frigate]

Going in and out of stock

[fresh timber]

prove it, its all burnt

[storm narwhal]

Makes it hard to disprove too tho

How do you prove it was plugged all the way in?

[fresh timber]

how can they prove it wasnt?

[median frigate]

Do yall know why gpu prices went up a bunch?

Last year I was able to get a 6950xt for 400$

[fresh timber]

the 12vhpwr being a terrible connector is well documented

[fresh timber]

one word, politics

[storm narwhal]

Hm actually fair point

[velvet summit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/15hrD2c3tb0

[median frigate]

I ended up selling it tho before I ever used it

[storm narwhal]

I forgot about that

[median frigate]

Is it tariffs or something I haven't had my phone for the last two months

Basic training

[rancid juniper]

lol

[fresh timber]

okay.. HOW DOES TARRIFS AFFECT A DIGTIAL GOOD??

iv seen how game studios price things..

[rancid juniper]

listen, i really don't know if tariffs affected it or not but all we do know is how ass the pricing is

[fresh timber]

theirs a reason i wont be buing the switch 2

[rancid juniper]

either nintendo is becoming increasingly greedy scumbags or something else

[dusk knot]

Smh

[fresh timber]

the switch 1 is already ass

[median frigate]

Bro I just want to be able to buy a gpu for a normal price is that too much to ask for anymore

😭

[rancid juniper]

yea

XD

[fresh timber]

if i get greedy

[proud jackal]

i have a 4090 for sale

[rancid juniper]

sells it for $2k

alright theo

[fresh timber]

perfect 2.5slot. thats how I like my gpus

sersiosuly, i hate 2 slot cards in my current case

[dusk knot]

No one’s going to buy a 4090 for 2k

[fresh timber]

you would be mistakened

[proud jackal]

people on ebay are

[dusk knot]

Smart people

[median frigate]

Bro fr

[fresh timber]

thats all today

[fresh timber]

so your right, nobody will buy a 4090 for $2k, they buy it for 2.6k

[rancid juniper]

you underestimate how desperate some people might be

[dusk knot]

Shame on them

[rancid juniper]

lol

[storm narwhal]

500 dollar switch

[fresh timber]

i want to touch my screw driver on my active fanheadesrs for sparks

[proud jackal]

ill sell for $1849.99 + tax

[rancid juniper]

Canadians/Europeans after seeing the price tag:

[tranquil pebble]

cant wait for this to come in

[fresh timber]

lol

[median frigate]

Man if only consoles were as good as pcs

[fresh timber]

why doe the white strix look better than the black one

[rancid juniper]

closest thing is probably the next xbox

its literally just gonna be a pc

[fresh timber]

i like my pc

and ps5

[storm narwhal]

The next Xbox is already here bro

[storm narwhal]

Your phone is an xbox

Your TV is an xbox

[rancid juniper]

U RIGHT

WTF

[fresh timber]

the next xbox could deadass be a handheld console

[storm narwhal]

Your computer is an Xbox

EVERYTHING IS XBOX

[storm narwhal]

LMAO YEAH

[rancid juniper]

JDP's house is an xbox

[fresh timber]

:0

[rancid juniper]

now you can game anywhere

✅

[storm narwhal]

am I... An Xbox???

[rancid juniper]

👀

[fresh timber]

i asked my mom for a laptop instead of me buying it

[storm narwhal]

OPTIMUM PRIME EUUGHH AAA AA

[tranquil pebble]

wristwatch xbox

[rancid juniper]

can play angry birds

[storm narwhal]

Transforms into Xbox

[fresh timber]

now that i asked mommy for a laptop ima stop stressing about it

.. yeah im good

[storm narwhal]

What laptop

[fresh timber]

asus g14 openbox, i asked for it at graduation or soon

[rancid juniper]

these gpu prices make me question the economy every freaking second

[storm narwhal]

Zephyrus nice

[proud jackal]

i mean its nothing to question

[fresh timber]

yuh

[proud jackal]

this is reality

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-reality-is-often-disappointing-stone-infinity-stone-gamora-gif-14046382

[proud jackal]

[fresh timber]

honestly its ta laptop that ticks all my boxes, and it seems reasonable for.. GRADUATING HIGHSCHOOL

[storm narwhal]

Yeah it's one of those that you can trick work into thinking is a work laptop

[fresh timber]

EXCATLY, and it seems porttable enough.. and not gamer

i dotn wanna be walking into class with a gaming laptop lmfao

[storm narwhal]

You don't want a nearly 17 inch CHONKER?

[storm narwhal]

Exactly

[fresh timber]

im.. good

[storm narwhal]

Dellienware

[rancid juniper]

will it run crysis 4?

[fresh timber]

imagine having to go from class to class, or your like using diffrent college resources

[storm narwhal]

You'd get real swole

[fresh timber]

lmfao fr

i asked for the OLED g14 with a 4060

[storm narwhal]

What only a 4060

[fresh timber]

its $1000

lol

[storm narwhal]

Jeez

[fresh timber]

and frnkly i dont need more than a 4060, even a 3070m gives plenty of fps in the games i wanna play

[storm narwhal]

That's a little sad of a GPU for that

[fresh timber]

i frankly dont feel like brining my 2nd pc with me to my dads anymore

[storm narwhal]

You always have moonlight anyway

[fresh timber]

haha, no

[storm narwhal]

Won't matter too much

[fresh timber]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

it mattres

im not moonlighing cod

or fortnite

or on my dads unstable ahh internet

[storm narwhal]

Those you can run on 4060 anyway

[fresh timber]

excatly

[storm narwhal]

Just low graphics

[fresh timber]

no?

a 3070m can play ultra on cod and get 100fps

[storm narwhal]

Hm

[fresh timber]

i play low on my desktop anyways

competitive advantage

[storm narwhal]

Why settle for 100

When 200

[fresh timber]

i wont, ima just turn the settings down

4060m is overkill for me anyways

[storm narwhal]

Any competitive game yeah all settings go down

[fresh timber]

frankly i can probably run a 4k tv off it at my settings

oo and it comes with the 780m APU so i could run some games off the APU if i need to

hell i could turn the gpu off and get pretty long battery life from normal browsing

[storm narwhal]

Pretty sure disabling it in device manager just causes the dgpu to full blast

[fresh timber]

nah il use asus app

armory crate lets you "disable" it

[storm narwhal]

Oh yeah that's gonna work then

But ew armory crate

[fresh timber]

its okay on laptops

desktop one sucks

[storm narwhal]

Bloatware

I pass

[fresh timber]

how els.. are u going to control ur laptops fuctions?

[storm narwhal]

There's probably third party apps for that

[fresh timber]

just.. use armory crate at that point dawg

[storm narwhal]

Dell certainly has third party apps that do the same thing

Well not from dell but

Its one or two tiny program

[worn wave]

Dell does have stuff like that

[storm narwhal]

Taking up way less resources

[fresh timber]

i wish the g14 wasnt soldered ram

i wonder how long 16gb will last until i have to offload everything to my desktop

[storm narwhal]

Real

[fresh timber]

ill give it 5 years tbh

[storm narwhal]

Ooh but they need it for the faster speed

SHUT UP USE REPLACEABLE DDR5 RAM

[fresh timber]

i mean techncily soldered is faster

you aint getting 7500mt/s out of soddim

[storm narwhal]

Yeah but like I do not care and also most people won't care

[fresh timber]

but it.. is slower

[storm narwhal]

Faster doesn't mean it'll transfer to a noticeable change in experience

[fresh timber]

when using the APU its a noticable change

[devout forum]

It wasn't even the speed

[storm narwhal]

Unless you're doing like AI or whatever

Workhorse type stuff

[devout forum]

It was just stability

[storm narwhal]

Oohh

[fresh timber]

the new APu cant even use replaceable ram

[devout forum]

AMD itself couldn't get SO-DIMMs to be stable, allegedly at any speed

[fresh timber]

the desktop one cant even

[storm narwhal]

Didn't Dell release the new RAM standard for laptops

That doesn't work either?

[fresh timber]

its not stable enough

[devout forum]

This isn't the device manufacturers

[fresh timber]

framework and amd tried, it doesnt

[devout forum]

It's the chip itself

[storm narwhal]

Gotcha

[devout forum]

For ONCE it's not Asus being Asus

[fresh timber]

frameworked tried making their desktop have replacable ram

[fresh timber]

its a market trend

[devout forum]

Ye

[fresh timber]

fast stable ram, or slow less stable ram, pick

16gb is probably fine

[devout forum]

I believe Framework even tried like a single 8gb stick

And it hard crashed even at JEDEC

[fresh timber]

[devout forum]

So like

[fresh timber]

honestly if i had the budget id get the apu

strix point, but it cost too damn much for me to consider

[devout forum]

Strix Point's problem is the same as all cutting edge tech

It costs too much for the majority of people to buy

[storm narwhal]

But damn is it cool

[fresh timber]

LPDDR5x-8000, max 128 GB

run this on replacable dimms

[storm narwhal]

Maybe in the future

[fresh timber]

i want a Ryzen AI Max+ 395

[devout forum]

Yeah not happening anytime soon

[fresh timber]

doubt

unless they figure out signal intergety

or desing the chip to account for it

solderd all the way

[devout forum]

We'd need like

A paradigm shift in signaling and trace design for that to happen

[fresh timber]

the most they could do is unlock the firmware so u can replace it your self

[fresh timber]

socketable ram chips?

[devout forum]

8000 MT/s is such a fast rate that the very presence of an (even very well designed) actual socket is detrimental on laptops

At least for Strix Point

[fresh timber]

imagine they made the ram chips them self socketable

[devout forum]

Same problem

The problem is the socket itself

[fresh timber]

probably, less as bad

[devout forum]

Because it's NEVER gonna be as good as solid wire/trace

[fresh timber]

hear me out

[devout forum]

Any socket, irregardless of quality will be VASTLY inferior in signal quality. Period.

[fresh timber]

make it accessable for shops to purcahse and replace the ramchips

honestly, i wouldnt be apposed to doubling the ram in my laptop at a shop

[devout forum]

I mean

Even the mfg can't do it themselves

[fresh timber]

Mfg?

[devout forum]

Manufacturer

[fresh timber]

they replaced the chips on 3070s and stuff

just desolder it, solder it back on, easy

[devout forum]

You would need a whole new motherboard to UPGRADE memory

Cuz the controller and software both need replaced too

Straight replacement =/= upgrading

[fresh timber]

thats where manufactures can make the controller not.. locked

make it easy for shops to go in and tell it the new ram configuration

[velvet summit]

joe mama

[devout forum]

They're not locked down as much as highly integrated

[fresh timber]

why does this sound more complex than a gpu

sidenote, for some reason i want a used 3070 for my 2nd rig

[devout forum]

I mean if the manufacturer itself has to do it beforehand and can't do it later

Why would a random-ass repair shop be able to?

Again

[fresh timber]

i mean, they did it with gpus

[devout forum]

Once FRAMEWORK, the company of repairability can't do it

[fresh timber]

mf took a 4090, slapped it on a 3090 pcb and made it fastre

[devout forum]

You might want to consider that it won't work

[fresh timber]

i dont see how it wouldnt be fesable to replace the ramchips

[devout forum]

That's not upgrading that's necromancy

[fresh timber]

your soldering it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhHYhkx8RiQ kinda like this

[devout forum]

Yeah because the random repair shop has a BGA soldering machine for you

[fresh timber]

thats where making it more assesable comes into play, im sure the right ones do

[devout forum]

With the extremely specific templates for your specific GPU loaded into it
And the chips are all available because there's no new production of the card but somehow the parts are still produced 5 years after the EOL

That's sadly such an unrealistic expectation

[fresh timber]

yeah, now imagine the manufacture suppoeted upgrades on said devices

[devout forum]

Physics says no.

Like this is not about repairing at all

[fresh timber]

physics doesnt let you swap 16gb for 32gb of the same chips just higher density?

[devout forum]

It's literally just physics saying "Screw you, sockets will not work"

[fresh timber]

im not talking about sockets at all

[devout forum]

Very different thing

And also highly risky and USUALLY failing

[fresh timber]

Yes thats what im trying to get across

[fresh timber]

id love to give it a shot

[devout forum]

Like you're talking hardware necromancy

Which usually ends just permanently killing the device

[fresh timber]

id lowkey give it a shot if im bored and can find a ship worthy doing it at the end of the devices life when i replace it

[fresh timber]

if u find somebody trained and kows what they are doing it shouldnt be too bad,

[devout forum]

Then what's the point if you're replacing it anyway

And like

[fresh timber]

fun and expirmetation

[devout forum]

You're making a LOT of longshot expectations

[fresh timber]

technology, people do these type of mods for fun all the time

[devout forum]

Survivorship bias

thats fair tbh idk where to add it in my loop without completely draining the system

[fresh timber]

id custom loop once i get am5 and a better gpu

and like $1000 to blow on it

9070xtt 9700x loop would go crazy

[mystic ruin]

This was in the loop at one point

But then I got the flow meter lol

[proud jackal]

[mystic ruin]

STOP MEASURING. Lol I got 3 filters running around

[royal crow]

Stop measuring😂

[proud jackal]

i need to install my filter and then increase pump speed again to hopefully negate the flow impedance

[mystic ruin]

It's not about the size it's about the quality lmao 🤣

[proud jackal]

[mystic ruin]

I got 2 pumps going

Stg if you say you have 3 pumps lol

[proud jackal]

i should get my 2nd pump into my loop but i'm lazy and i dont want to buy a pump housing

i have 1 pump for over like 2 meters of tubing

[mystic ruin]

[storm umbra]

how has it been, with the whole thing of ppl saying their cpus were dying

like has anyone had problems

[honest birch]

its a small percentage all the builds i did worked as expected, passed stress test

[proud jackal]

[honest birch]

they said cleaning out the socket fixes it

and use newest bios

[storm umbra]

how do u even clean out an am5 socket lol

[honest birch]

air

[fresh timber]

why would u

i got thermalpaste in my intel socket and i ignore it lmfao

[storm umbra]

thats different tho

its nonconductive

if something else is in there and is conductive it can cause major issues

[fresh timber]

.. what can u possibly have thats conductive near your socket

[storm umbra]

not from u, from the company that manufactured it

unless you dropped a hair inside

which can cause issues

[storm narwhal]

Like they dropped an extra pin in it or something ?

[storm umbra]

potentially

[storm narwhal]

I

Don't know how they would do that

Pretty sure it was just Asus mobos being ass

Asus prime anyone?

[fresh timber]

rma it??

if you break it trying to remove it, your at fault

i would prob rma tbh

not techy enough to do that sh**

Sup guys , have a question my cpu normal temp was 75 then I updated my bios to last update after that my temp raised to 90 and 85 . Is it bios issue or something else?

Have gigabyte motherboard b550 ds3h

[fresh timber]

pbo

maybe

whats ur voltage at

o what cpu too

[hard flint]

5800x3d

Voltage don’t know will check later at home

[fresh timber]

i dont think 5800x3d has a PBO

it does, id just set it to default to doublecheck

85-90, is that under a gaming load or what

[hard flint]

Most likely it’s bios coz it all happened after the update

[hard flint]

Just steam

[fresh timber]

...

umm yeah id double check the bios and ur cooler.. maybe ur fancurve got reset

id make sure pbo is off, no overclocking features is on. ur cooler is mouted correctly

[hard flint]

Guys

Queen Victoria's eldest daughter was the Empress of Germany at some point

If the throne passed through to the eldest child rather than the eldest son

Then the British crown would have literally passed to Queen Victoria's daughter

And then when she died it would have passed to her son

So basically

There is a possible timeline where Kaiser Wilhelm II inherited the British Empire

Classic engineer’s dilemma

It’s funny when you complain about rounded corners and all this bs in “modern” ui, you get people trying to be smart asses like “oh you don’t know what you’re talking about, modern design philosophy says rounded corners are more ‘human’ and less ‘threatening aka better’

Like no I completely hate and disagree with the modern design philosophy as a whole

Or it will be

Maybe not I’m not an economist

[nocturne flicker]

It isn't going to go into compounding catastrophe mode like in the '30s. It is just going to be bear market season

[sinful blade]

@frigid stag go ahead and check up on your legislative history for the 1920s and 30s.

Find out what was one of the biggest beginners of the great depression.

[frigid stag]

Stock market crash, bank failures

And a drought

[sinful blade]

I’ll give you a hint: it rhymes with “exactly what is happening shmow”

[fresh timber]

😦

Why twrrkfsb

Tariffs so stupid

[nocturne flicker]

A long agricultural recession topped with natural disasters with a lot of small banks giving out easy loans to finance stock purchases combined with runs on banks leading to 1/3 of US banks closing

[sinful blade]

So the recent bank failures, stock market plummeting, and massive unnecessary tariffs that we’re experiencing now will lead to….?

[frigid stag]

News about public utility regulation and rising interest rates leading to panic selling. Investors liquidating holding and markets plummeting

Ye comparing it to the 20s is massive fear mongering, It’s not anything like that

[sinful blade]

Now combine the recent bird, produce, and wildlife epidemics…

[rancid juniper]

lemme see, the leader said that we will feel the pain "alittle" while

[tranquil pebble]

I said worst SINCE... not that it would be as bad

I was very particular in not saying worse than

[frigid stag]

Ye pretty sure egg prices dropped

[sinful blade]

And combine the fact that most Americans are barely scraping by, debt is at an all time high

[sinful blade]

They have not

[frigid stag]

They are lower

[sinful blade]

They have continued to increase

[rancid juniper]

weren't they thinking about eliminating food stamps too?

[sinful blade]

Correct

Social security is also being rapidly defunded, go ahead and look into that

[rancid juniper]

literally making struggling families struggle harder

[velvet summit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/uxQeuy6S47s

[nocturne flicker]

The regulatory environment to allow widescale bank closures doesn't exist anymore and the public is not anywhere near involved in the actual stock market as it was in the 1920s. It is more likely to be a repeat of 2008 than 1930s level

[nocturne flicker]

Stares at eggs being $6 a dozen here in rural TN

Public debt levels have been high for 20 years, the majority of stock assets are held by a tiny amount of people. The defunding of Medicare, Medicaid and attempts to blow up SS will impact the market significantly though, especially the healthcare and general goods markets

13gb ram on low 1080p

[fresh timber]

That’s not even a lot of ram tbh

[frigid stag]

I don’t think resolution matters for ram usage tbh

[lone mango]

Well that’s system ram

[fresh timber]

13gb could be 1% of a systems ram

My hommie got 128gb 😂

[lone mango]

Could be on windows 11 with something else open too

[frigid stag]

I mean I’ve heard people say it does but

[fresh timber]

I don’t really care how much ram I use

I have like 80GB across all my machines to play with

[lone mango]

I thought you mean 12 gigs of vram

Like how much difference does the binning make, can you run the 3200c14 at like 4800mts

[lone mango]

I just run ram at rated speed and call it

[frigid stag]

I mean if you’re paying this much you may as well tinker with it and max it

[lone mango]

It says prices are increasing 5%

Oh 12%

12 is something noticeable

I was about to say

[frigid stag]

That’s like 12 bucks extra on a 100$ kit

I just need ram and a cpu cooler pls don’t die on me market

[frigid stag]

I mean they’ll run the same as an ssd apart from load times no?

[rancid juniper]

That's ez

[rancid juniper]

Load times might be slightly longer but not much

[fresh timber]

I gamed off hdds on the crew motorfest

Off the network

[rancid juniper]

For a big game like that I'd definitely ssd

But it does work

[frigid stag]

Ye that’s fine then

[pliant berry]

im just going to end up usiung pikvm isntead of this stupid thing

[frigid stag]

As long as it doesn’t affect the performance like some games

[rancid juniper]

Definitely

It's all about striking a balance

[fresh timber]

Of course, but if the game isn’t complete doodoo it’s fine

[rancid juniper]

Don't want to see odd pop-ins and crazy stutters

[fresh timber]

Just use Zfs to cache the important files in the ram

Lmfao

Makes hdds feasable for AAA

[rancid juniper]

really?

[fresh timber]

Yeah Zfs using part of your ram as storage

[rancid juniper]

lol maybe if i installed 128gb ram ill consider that

[fresh timber]

Idk if windows supports using Zfs file system, but I know you can use it on Linux

I just use it on my nas and it makes accessing my files a lot better

It really smooths out the speed

When I ran one hdd the ram helped steam compression not kill the download speed totally

[rancid juniper]

lol

[pliant berry]

umm what
