Cl14 is pretty low tbf

past jasper
#

MT/s is not the only thing that matters, latency does too.

#

$450 without the gpu

past jasper
#

What if I told you that the 5800x3d doesn't have ddr5

#

Which is why it can't be used

#

12900k has both

#

Early ddr5 was unstable and not as good as 3200 cl14 ram

silk sonnet
#

I just really need a cheaper gpu

past jasper
#

They have it in the 12900k benchmarks. It's the same results

#

5% win in this game

#

Sir, go look up DDR4 videos. 3200 cl14 is very fast for DDR4.

#

It's better than DDR5 6000 cl32

#

You don't know what you're talking about

#

Respectfully

#

You don't even know what XMP vs tuned is.

#

Okay and do you know how much gains RAM OC gets?

#

And how can you possibly say it's not tuned from just seeing 3200 cl14.

#

You really need to stop repeating what you read

silk sonnet
#

3070 is way cheaper than 3080

past jasper
#

That's 3200 cl16 vs 4266 cl16

#

I promise you those results are not repeatable.

silk sonnet
#

@past jasper What do you think about a 3070?

pliant berry
#

Time to tune my 9900k

past jasper
lone mango
#

Theres way more than just the first number

acoustic palm
#

Ok then go test that

lone mango
#

I think a gain that large is dependent on which title you are running but you will see gains regardless, and they get amplified when you are more cpu bound

#

Buildzoid says primaries dont matter

#

Its all in the numbers you dont see

#

Or mostly, at least

pliant berry
#

What is this argument

lone mango
#

It depends on your system configuration and the game. It probably is a one time thing yes but its still worth tinkering with

#

Idk im late to it

silk sonnet
#

How does a 3070 outperform a 4060

worthy meteor
#

XOC is completely separate from just ocing for something for daily lol

silk sonnet

Makes no sense

Pascal*

past jasper
#

Sure, Pascal. But Ampere was a return to form

#

Then it got even whackier

lone mango
#

Pascal was a time to be remembered fr

pliant berry
#

Yeah I guess, it was just overshadowed but the constant stock issues

lone mango
#

Its been almost a decade bruh

worthy meteor
#

Pascal was also kinda overshadowed by the first mining boom lol

pliant berry
#

Ye

worthy meteor
#

we have a good generation whenever we have a mining boom smh

pliant berry
#

Man, maybe instead of sprinting to catch a train I should’ve sat down for an hour and have a drink

lone mango
#

That was a time when games had to be made well

silk sonnet
#

I assume there would be any gpu bundle deals or combos or whatever because of the shortage and tariffs?

past jasper
#

Weird, I go into the OC discord with enthusiasts and this is what they say

#

Pretty sure those people OC the GPU and CPU and RAM and claimed it was only RAM.

#

They do

#

Bro you are actually delusional

fresh timber
#

you gain 30%

#

at 1080p

#

low

past jasper
#

You don't even gain 30% fps at 1080p low.

fresh timber
#

ycruncher, yes y cruncher can gain 30%

pliant berry
#

There are so many factors that play into it. I think maybe its possible when all the stars align, but generally speaking no you probably won’t see those gains in your average game

past jasper
#

just an FYI this is saying "tuned" it's including the CPU

#

back in 9900k days you could actually tune your CPU and see real results

#

It's not just the RAM, it's the CPU, GPU and the RAM

#

The RAM you might see low single digits of perf gain.

#

So you tried to argue it was the RAM when it was the CPU and GPU giving most of the results KEKW

#

so disingenuous

lone mango
#

So its ram and cpu sobbing sobbing sobbing

past jasper
#

No it wouldn't, even XOCers say you should focus on GPU and CPU

pliant berry
#

You mean you don’t oc your mobo?

lone mango
#

My power supply running at 110%

past jasper
#

bro +400 mhz memory clock on GPU, +300 mhz on CPU and 2.4 ns on RAM and you think the RAM only is why he gained 30% fps

pliant berry
#

Alright we don’t need to keep hanging on this

past jasper
#

sorry it was mem OC

#

that's VRAM clock

#

I can't really read it's in 144p

lone mango
#

You can see the z they are both 10k

past jasper
#

anyways 9900k was known for being a beast overclocker and gaining real results

#

and you think its the ram 💀

I don’t want to sell my gpu either, besides what is there even to upgrade to derpyBlob

Guys.. this isn’t reddit. We aren’t in a competition to see who is wrong. Friendly open discussion here only

fresh timber

I will put this out, i did get like 200% gains in my 1% lows tuning my ram kek

worthy meteor

it's possible but uh

#

it's not flat 30% increase in performance

they test games too

they will run the most unstable ahh oc just for the higher performance for like 5 mins

i gained more than 30% tho

you want some cl16 20 20 38

@frigid stag i have four ddr4 corsair ram sticks, if I had to make a new build what parts would u go for

#

idk if i would go cheap am4 or cheal lga1700

#

thinking the ame thing

#

in my opinion lga1700 has bettre upgrade path, id rather 14900k over 5800x3d

#

14700k or 7800x3d new platform 🤔

ever sense i upgraded it iv been chilling

i cant wait to retire my lga1700 platform, 13600kf in a 2nd rig would go crazy

#

platform wont be upgraded any time soon unforuntly, most ill do is a new cpu

acoustic palm

#

i would not upgrade within the same gen though

fresh timber
#

I want a Igpu I’m tired of not having one

#

Upgrading within the same gen is fine the

#

Like 7500f to 7800x3d

tranquil pebble

13600kf to 14900ks, all depends on what u do

acoustic palm

I upgrade when ever something feels slow, rn that being my gpu

CPU is only cause I want quick sync lmfao

Ima stream this summer

pliant berry

N o

pliant berry
#

Cheap low power addition for quicksync

fresh timber
#

It is not recommended by OBS

pliant berry
#

Shhh

#

Obs don’t know nothing

#

Wait a minute why u want quicksync for obs?

fresh timber
#

I used it before back when I used a 11600k for streaming

#

I liked it

tranquil pebble
fresh timber
#

I’d have to see if it will even fit when I do my 9070xt and vertical mount upgrade lmfao

pliant berry
#

I mean intel has really nice encoders but isn’t it better to use the gpu that is playing the game for obs to avoid overhead?

dense locust
#

I think intel beats a gpu

#

For some things

pliant berry
#

Second pc, cpu encode ez

fresh timber
#

I didn’t have issues with quick sync, it’s not like it’s using more pcie bandwidth compared to dual gpu

lone mango
#

There is still overhead for obs. At least for recording idk about streaming

My mom bought a nice tv just to say: nah you can’t use the living room

pliant berry

I only use tv if I want surround and to lay down

I would have made a HTPC too

I have a tv in my room that’s 1080p slop

When I get the 9070xt ima try 4k frfr

#

Somebody help me justify a itx pc

Efficient use of space and easy to move

While retaining most functionality

You'll lose an m.2 or two, but depending on the case you choose you can still have additional sata drives

fresh timber
#

I need to downsize my nas, main rig will always be big, I like my 2nd rig to me small

lone mango
#

Nr200 has two 2.5 mounts but you can make it 4 by pushing out the ssds a little bit to make space for ssds on the other sides of the grommets

tranquil pebble
#

wonder how long it would take to download all of Steam over dial up

lone mango
#

Acutally make that 5 because there is a mount on the power supply mount too

Nope.

So does that mean the Pc won’t boot?

Is something shorting the pc

Is anything getting power at all?

more of a theoretical coding/creation question, but I've noticed something when playing minecraft java, specifically ith shaders. that being, that there is no way to see reflections behind you, or really outside of your FOV at all.(this doesn't apply to the Bedrock RTX thing, but i do not care about nor wish to play it.) the question, then, is: is it possible to render things outside of your fov without showing them? is this even practically possible?

dense locust
#

You can try rtx shaders

#

Performance will take a hit ofc

worn wave
#

Depends on your definition of render maybe? If you can't see it on screen is it really being rendered?

#

Or do you mean "there's no way to see reflections of objects behind you"?

worn wave
#

The shaders are likey using screen-space reflections

royal crow
#

i think so

Honestly idk lol. I know screenspace reflections only show what's already on screen but idk if you can like spoof things behind you

Windows being so broken than Linux can really "just work" better

misty sparrow
#

i wanted to use linux to play my games but most of my games required so much tinkering to do things i wanted to do on linux, things that windows did better

hoary zodiac

Depends on the specifics but Microsoft is screwing up so hard that it's actually a common scenario

hoary zodiac

Well to be fair

frigid stag
hoary zodiac
#

Sometimes windows just works

misty sparrow
#

a few months

frigid stag
#

Thoughts? 🤔

hoary zodiac
#

It depends heavily on use case

misty sparrow
#

like for example Epic Games Store isn't supported on linux so I had to use an alternative launcher for them, and some games wouldn't work with that launcher because they needed EGS authentication, like GTAV

hoary zodiac
#

GTA V is broken on steam too

dense locust
misty sparrow
#

Lutris has never worked for me so obviously I tossed that out

misty sparrow
hoary zodiac
#

Rockstar unironically broke GTA on linux

lone mango
frigid stag
#

I wouldn’t be surprised tbh

hoary zodiac
#

It's CNBC so

#

I wouldn't trust a mainstream media outlet on reporting tech news

misty sparrow
#

the thing is with GTAV on Epic, whenever I tried launching the game on Linux, Rockstar's awful launcher thought I didn't own the game and refused to start it

#

really had to dig on the internet to fix that issue

frigid stag
#

Clearly they don’t care about latency

hoary zodiac
#

See the solution is

#

Use windows

misty sparrow
#

at least I can say I did try Linux

hoary zodiac
#

I use Linux because it gives me less headaches than Windows

dense locust
#

how tf did microsoft mess up w11 so badlyt

some games on win11 run better than win10 so i think i'll stick to my debloated windows 11

What are you gonna do about it lol

#

Not use windows?

#

Ha

misty sparrow
hoary zodiac
#

Sadly Windows 7 isn't supported anymore

Do i just keep windows 10 and pay the $30 per year?

hoary zodiac

$30 per year?

#

Huh?

oh, the fee to keep getting security updates on windows 10?

Yeah but we don't have the Us military budget

#

You dont want to spend more, yes? update now finger finger

Yeah well here is my reaction

They did the same thing for Windows 7

I'd rather donate to wine development

I'd donate $100 to wine devs out of pure spite

"upgrade"

nocturne flicker

Except Windows 7 the update program was limited to Pro and Enterprise editions

This time around they extended it to Home users too

by historical logic windows 12 should be the better windows update

The UI does NOT need to use so much resources

misty sparrow
#

i don't know why windows uses nearly half the memory at all times

lone mango
#

I havent checked again but last time I saw it was 55/45

#

Something close to that

dense locust
#

unused ram is wasted ram
or something

lone mango
#

Damn bruh

dense locust
#

thats also only gamers

misty sparrow
#

even if they wanted to upgrade to win11 some people cant do it because of TPM requirement

dense locust
#

i imagine a lot of old business systems still run windows 10

hoary zodiac
#

LOOK AT THIS

#

this is a KABY LAKE SYSTEM

lone mango
#

Or hardware is just too old

hoary zodiac
#

yet it's running butter smooth

nocturne flicker
#

About 3 or so percent of desktops are still using Windows 7 iirc

lone mango
#

The hardware bypass is getting more sketch

hoary zodiac
#

KABY LAKE QUAD CORE BTW

#

windows 11 will actually lag so much

dense locust
#

microsoft locked a lot of pcs out with the tmp requirement

misty sparrow
#

dont know what the hell those graphs mean but i can vouch for linux running buttery smooth on just about anything

hoary zodiac
#

microsoft has no excuse

nocturne flicker
#

It was like, 11% before they ended the upgrade subscription program a couple years ago iirc

misty sparrow
#

i ran linux off a thumb drive the size of a mouse dongle

hoary zodiac
#

the fact that linux is semi-usable on hdds

misty sparrow
#

buttery smooth

#

even if i ran GTAV on that mouse dongle drive it still ran mostly fine

hoary zodiac
#

that's the thing about linux

dense locust
#

too bad i wont ever use linux

hoary zodiac
#

If it works it works

lone mango
#

Whats cool about lenovo laptops is that they let you buy it with linux installed and its at a lower cost than windows

dense locust
#

windows without the bloat would work so well

hoary zodiac
#

the funny thing is that the NT kernel is actually pretty solid

#

We need open source NT

#

like it'd be a net positive

#

even for microsoft

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

le tiling

#

Whoever came up with the idea of tiling windows is a genius

dense locust
#

why are they formatted like how mac does it

lone mango
#

Wym

hoary zodiac
#

because I formatted it like that

#

I do

misty sparrow
#

why did you add transparency to all the windows

lone mango
#

Cuz

hoary zodiac
#

I'm a linux user

#

of the arch variety too

#

The whole point of arch is to customise the hell out of everything

#

so that's what I did

#

all this is two config files btw

#

~/.config/hypr/Hyprland.conf and ~/.config/waybar/style.css

#

I do need a windows vm on this thing tho

#

or maybe I'll just use my other laptop

#

My SSD with windows died so

#

🤷‍♂️

#

Haven't bothered to reinstall

#

You know what....

#

I might get a mini pc and run a remote windows vm

lone mango
#

Why not use vmm

hoary zodiac
#

Well the thing is

lone mango
#

You can do gpu passthrough with it

hoary zodiac
#

It does have advantages

#

Like running a blender render

#

Saves on battery life

#

When I'm not at home

#

I have the infrastructure already

lone mango
#

Oh ok

#

Yeah thats the better choice then

hoary zodiac
#

And plus

#

I could remote into it on any of my computers

#

Including my phone

#

Plus it's an excuse for me to spend a lot of money on a computer

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

Does blender work with QSV?

#

Ryzen is cheap but I don't want Ryzen

#

Damn

#

I wonder if Ryzen work with intel gpus

#

not sure how the linux drivers are for running intel dgpus

lone mango
#

They a little iffy

hoary zodiac
#

tbh I'm leaning towards ryzen

#

for lower power consumption

#

plus better used market

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

streaming

#

I could just stream without transcoding

lone mango
#

So idk why but for some reason my encoder wont be used for playback

#

Which is different

#

But still weird that it uses 3d instead

hoary zodiac
#

do you have ffmpeg

lone mango
#

Ooo idk

#

I have to see on my laptop

#

If i dnt know then probably not

hoary zodiac
#

prob something like this

#

might be cheaper to source from aliexpress

lone mango
#

Windows on my laptop forced me into doing updates

#

Showed the shut off/restart and update

hoary zodiac
#

windows moment

lone mango
#

Tried to get around it by holding the power button and turning it on so I can go to boot override

#

Then it boots really fast and updates

hoary zodiac
#

reee

#

no ryzen 7 aliexpress bundles

#

I mean there's zen 4

#

but I don't want zen 4

#

there's this I guess

lone mango
#

Page doesnt work

hoary zodiac
#

oh that's JUST the motherboard

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

these ryzen bundles are making me want to buy skylake

#

ah yes I want a cardboard box

wraith fern
#

i'd buy that

#

worth it...

lone mango
#

Like why not keep it for when you resell the processor

hoary zodiac
#

screw it

#

gonna look for coffee lake

#

ngl this is actually good

#

ooo they do mini pcs too

#

I do want the SFF for 3.5" tho

#

my nas gets choked by the 32 bit cpu so

lone mango
#

So ffmpeg is installed

hoary zodiac
#

could use a better cpu lmao

#

oh look it has a whopping ONE drive bay

lone mango
#

Linux taking up 2.6 gigs with discord open

#

We love to see it

hoary zodiac
#

I'm at like 4.7 gigs

#

with

lone mango
#

Yeah I have nothing open besides discord and updating rn

hoary zodiac
#

Onlyoffice, a bunch of chromium tabs spread out across two windows, a bunch of librewolf tabs spread out across 3 windows

#

5.82GB

#

windows uses more idle

#

wtf

#

i5 coffee lake is so cheap

lone mango
#

Woah

#

Kde power management has a charge limit

#

This is crazy

hoary zodiac
#

ok I'm actually tempted now

#

coffee lake is pretty affordable

lone mango
#

Nutty

#

That looks like it is wide enough to take a low profile card

hoary zodiac
#

it is

#

I'm mainly after the 3.5" bay

lone mango
#

a380

hoary zodiac
#

I'm looking for an upgrade over my uhh

#

i5 4570T

#

and my nas with a 32 bit cpu

lone mango
#

Thats crazy

hoary zodiac
#

that cpu bottlenecks the hell out of the transfer speeds

#

every time there is an NFS operation the cpu jumps to 100%

#

the 4570T is a mini pc so

#

couldn't fit a 3.5" there

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

plus

#

the better single thread would help me run a minecraft server

#

and the 2 extra cores will help me run vms and stuff

lone mango
#

Very true

hoary zodiac
#

coffee lake is the sweet spot in the market where it's dirt cheap

#

because there's just so much enterprise machines getting dumped

lone mango
#

Yeah schools have lots of mini desktops too

#

Colleges at least

#

Mine for example

hoary zodiac
#

I could also run the 4570T alongside the 8500 as well

#

Mini pcs are great

#

Haswell still good

#

I decked out my mini pc with 16GB of ram

#

It was a brand new DDR3 kit

lone mango
#

This is random but would cl32 6400 and cl26 6000 perform the same in games

#

I think they would be quite close

hoary zodiac
#

honestly the CL26 might be better

#

For games

#

I really want something cheap and compact with 2 drive bays cuz I got 2 8TBs

#

I suppose I'll just use the second HDD as a backup

#

On the crappy nas

#

Can't have both small AND cheap

#

Now I just need to find $200 from somewhere

worn wave
lone mango

So a little better then

I believe latency is more important than speed for gaming, not completely sure

Yes

UHD630 supports HEVC right?

#

I know my Haswell doesn't

#

The coffee lake also has a DVD drive which is a huge bonus

#

would prefer blu ray tho

#

these things are stupid expensive for some reason

#

the Japanese are obsessed with blu ray still for some reason

#

most of the blu ray stuff are shipped from japan

velvet summit

You'd think BD drives would be cheaper in 2025

Well thats with 12 5090s

Ye a drive is a drive but some nas use sas interface. Servers with sas controllers can use either sas or sata but desktops pretty much exclusively use sata controllers which will not work with sas drives

hoary zodiac
#

Don't sas me

pliant berry
#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

tfw all my hardware uses sata

pliant berry
#

Your drive apparently has different versions for both interfaces. But I don’t think attempting to put a sas drive on a sata controller would kill it anyway

hoary zodiac
#

I drool when I see all the cheap sas drives on ebay

pliant berry
#

I was thinking of expanding my nas but backups are getting really expensive and my nas still has a cpu problem I can’t quite figure out

hoary zodiac
#

I'm thinking of replacing my nas entirely

#

I got a 32 bit cpu

#

NFS is enough to choke that thing to death

pliant berry
#

Tbh I might get something with lower power consumption and simpler and use this system for experimenting

hoary zodiac
#

I have to move files via usb

#

Really tempted to get a coffee lake sff

#

Cheapest 6 core I could find

pliant berry
#

Maybe I use my 9900k for a nas when I upgrade my personal rig lol

hoary zodiac
#

Cheapest that doesn't use up a crap load of power that is

hoary zodiac
pliant berry

Yeah

hoary zodiac

Coffee lake is really nice

#

Doesn't consume too much power

#

Cheap on the used market

pliant berry

I also have a few spare xeons laying around

hoary zodiac

Power consumption tho

#

Are they 2011 xeons?

pliant berry
#

Old ones, prob not very efficient

hoary zodiac

Coffee lake IPC is probably going to blow it out of the water

Really tempted to get an optiplex

And then replace the fan with a noctua

For a quiet nas

Oh wait it's got no rear fans

Probably gotta settle for a cpu cooler replacement

Something like this tbh
