Not my mood. I’m more in a calm state rn

Too upbeat when it’s almost 2 am lol

[onyx merlin]

10:41 PM for me might try to play some games soon or just escape this world which can be too much sometimes(Aka go to sleep )

[dusk knot]

The dream world. Love it

[onyx merlin]

yup and sometimes when I wake up just feel heavily dispointed especially when I had such a good dream but cant remember it for some reason

[velvet summit]

cpr is possibly one of the worst songs to send here 💀

[onyx merlin]

my bad but lol

[misty sparrow]

oh, it could always get worse

[dusk knot]

Me too…me too

Reality…

It’s unreal at times

[velvet summit]

[fresh timber]

I like banana

@dusk knot hi banana

oh what

10% perf loss on pcie 4

[tranquil pebble]

omg jc a bomb

[tranquil pebble]

probably because of being so vram limited lol

that combined with not being x16 is yikes

[fickle narwhal]

Haii chat!!

There should be a channel for MAC? :(

[sinful blade]

My 5800x hasn’t shipped yet

He created the label, hasn’t dropped it off

[fickle narwhal]

when is the expected date?

[sinful blade]

The 9th

I bought a 5800x on eBay, but the guy hasn’t even dropped it off to UPS

[viral plover]

hello gamers

Do you think it will still take 2 years for the 6000 series to hit the market, like the RTX 3000 and 4000 series?

It's scary to even think about it.

[crimson scroll]

Im pretty doubtful that the 6000 series would be alot more powerful than the 5090

[viral plover]

Why, can you explain further?

[crimson scroll]

The 5090 was like a 30% increase In performance than the 4090 i think

[viral plover]

It's 15 to 20% average.

[crimson scroll]

Ok

[sinful blade]

Probably. Unless they want to save face with the absolute garbage fire of a launch of the 50xx series

[tranquil pebble]

CUDA isnt enough of an advantage for 4060M to overtake my 6900 XT at Stable Diffusion loads. I am not surprised but it did pretty well for a laptop part.

17s on 4060m vs 4s on 6900 XT

[dusk knot]

Unless the 60 series starts stacking chips finally. I don’t see a huge improvement either

[fickle narwhal]

Used? How much did it cost and sorry for replying late

[viral plover]

How do you predict the future of Radeon?

[dusk knot]

No idea

🤷

[viral plover]

Do you think AMD will take Nvidia's place in the desktop graphics sector?

[dusk knot]

Never

They have the best tech

[viral plover]

Of course, in the long run, I mean

[dusk knot]

Amd is always one or two steps behind

[acoustic palm]

9000 gen did close a step tho

[dusk knot]

Yeah

I’m glad they focused on rt performance

[acoustic palm]

Mhm

And good raster still

[dusk knot]

For real

How do you enjoy your card so far compared to your previous?

[sinful blade]

All good. $99

And ye

[pliant berry]

MAY THE FORTH BE WITH YOU

[dusk knot]

Ew

Star Wars is dead

[fresh timber]

im ngl i wish

i would have gotten that

a 5800x would be nice in my 2nd rig

[acoustic palm]

Wayyyy better

Like it’s not even comparable

I can run c77 on maxed settings and Raytracing ultra at 80fps, my old system could run it at high-med settings no rt at 70

[fresh timber]

i want ur 3060ti

[fickle narwhal]

That's a really good deal :D

[fickle narwhal]

Gimme h100

[wicked oriole]

will an xbox fanatec racing sim set up work on pc?

[fickle narwhal]

What's stopping you from trying?

[wicked oriole]

nothing seeing as im stuck with it now lol not complaining

[dusk knot]

Intel. Lmao

My 5800x3d is better. No way

[fickle narwhal]

ryzen 7?

[dusk knot]

Yes

[fickle narwhal]

Imma move to ARM cpus now

cuz I am a soy developer always adopting the latest and greatest technology xD

[acoustic palm]

It’s 4k highest settings

[dusk knot]

Yes

At 1440p…It would be less

[acoustic palm]

In some games 5800x3d beats 14900k lmao

[fresh timber]

aye thats the cpu i want

but dont need

[fickle narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/intel-overclockersuk-arous-mcfixer-pc-gif-22253029

[sinful blade]

I need to get a cooler though

[fresh timber]

what cooler ru using right now

[crimson scroll]

Sum is seriously wrong wit my cpu the usuage is 100% when it is usual 30%

And my temps r high AF

[fresh timber]

[crimson scroll]

Ik its a i3 but it doesnt do this

And my fans are going nuts

[sinful blade]

An ID cooling single tower

[fresh timber]

ehhh it might be fine if u run eco mode

*it will still be fastre than a 5700g

[fickle narwhal]

get 360mm AIO from deepcool lol

[crimson scroll]

I have a spare aio if he wants it

Its a 240mm tho

[sinful blade]

I don’t have the money to pay shipping

[crimson scroll]

Ah

Its just the aio

Corsair will give you the power cable

But not the mounting stuff

They make u pay for it

My cpu is throttling from 60% usage to 100% usage

I am using a nonstop live wallpaper tho

[sinful blade]

Yeah; I’ll just go for this

[crimson scroll]

I have a cpu cooler like that in black lol

[sinful blade]

Meh, I don’t know if my case would support an AIO

[crimson scroll]

(Bought it but forgot i was gonna buy a aio)

Fixed my cpu

Turned of wallpaper and were at 5% usage mow

Great

[sinful blade]

Wallpaper engine tends to crank your usage

[crimson scroll]

I use wallpaper alive

Free

Might buy engine but dont wanna spend any money rn

Ima buy a new cpu(the same one) and a 3x8pin 12vhpwr cable(a 2 pack)

Next friday if i get any money from my mom

Hopefully i do

[silk sonnet]

Can someone recommend a cheap cpu cooler for my 9600x on Newegg?

[viral plover]

thermalright!?

☹️

[frigid stag]

I was going for that one but it’s too large

My ram is too tall

[viral plover]

https://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-retail

[sinful blade]

Yeah

[frigid stag]

Those are nice but expensive

[sinful blade]

Their coolers are fine

[frigid stag]

It’s like 100 bucks for a nhd15

[viral plover]

meh

[sinful blade]

Does this look like a dual tower

[frigid stag]

I like these

They don’t make them anymore though

[viral plover]

just forget about cooler master: (build quality sucks)

[frigid stag]

I’ve had stuff from them before it was fine

I mean it’s just a heatsink and some pipes

[cedar compass]

it's been ages I don't use air cooler

[frigid stag]

They’re remaking them apparently

[viral plover]

i had a pentium 4 system from 2004 with cooler master and that was terrible too

[frigid stag]

It’s been a long time since then

[silk sonnet]

Is this thing compatible with my 9600x, I think it is but I just wanna ensure

[cedar compass]

coolermaster aios are mostly sux too . at least they used to

[frigid stag]

I think i have a hyper212 somewhere from the old pc I can just use that for a while

[cedar compass]

idk maybe they fixed new ones

[sinful blade]

Yes

[silk sonnet]

Ima go with that the

[sinful blade]

Vetroo is decent, just a little awkward

[viral plover]

cooler master is terrible, avoid them even they give it to you for free

[silk sonnet]

it has rgb and is cheap

[sinful blade]

I’d go with ID cooling if you want a budget option @silk sonnet

[sinful blade]

I’m using a case of theirs from 2007

[frigid stag]

Cooler masters fine

[sinful blade]

[frigid stag]

The atmos is one of the best aios

[sinful blade]

Yeah I’m not sure what you’re talking bout phantom

Thermalright and coolermaster are fine

[viral plover]

cooler master psus even stop working mostly after 1 to 6 months max

[cedar compass]

I have very bad history with coolermaster aios lol

[frigid stag]

Their psus are like tier a or b

The gold rated ones at least

[cedar compass]

few of them dead in few months

[viral plover]

exaclty, me too with one 2 fan aio

[cedar compass]

coolermaster monitors also have dead backlight issues in few months

[cedar compass]

yeah same lol

[frigid stag]

Me with my gtx aio

[sinful blade]

Sounds like you guys just had issues

[viral plover]

im the end user of cooler master

corsair is great, and one of the best build quality brand

[sinful blade]

I’m having a fine time with a case of theirs

Coolermaster stacker 830

[frigid stag]

I mean what issues can you have with a case

It’s just a metal box right

[sinful blade]

Except their ram, and their pricing

[frigid stag]

I guess theres how easy you can build in it

[cedar compass]

I build to sell so when I hear fast dying products , I avoiding them because I don't want to lose my customers lol

[frigid stag]

Some cases have a piece of metal stopping you from mounting your gpu properly

Phanteks

[cedar compass]

that's why I avoid coolermaster aios and monitors

[sinful blade]

This was it before I did anything

Before and after cleaning the fan enclosure for the top fan

[cedar compass]

I using coolermaster case too lol

I mean what possible can go wrong with case

using dt500 white case

[sinful blade]

Quality issues

[fresh timber]

i kinda wanna itx swap my main rig but i cant justify ne wmotherboard

[sinful blade]

Compatibility

Ease of use

[sinful blade]

Come be part of the stacker club

[fresh timber]

then again i found a nice matx case i like 😭 zalman p30

[sinful blade]

My old case compared to my “new” one

[viral plover]

Usually, the more money you pay, the higher quality and specifications you get!

You know about the Chinese products! (AKA Chinesium)

[cedar compass]

honestly corsair ddr5 kits are alright

[frigid stag]

For Corsair not necessarily

[sinful blade]

They still have the same problems as the last gen

[fresh timber]

isnt corsairs highest end ram kits kinda good tho

[sinful blade]

Corsair is among one of the most overpriced

For medium quality

[frigid stag]

Their dominator platinum ram is like 200 bucks for 5600nts

Mts*

[sinful blade]

Ew

[frigid stag]

Rgb though!

[cedar compass]

hadn't real DOA corsair kit yet . only had one weird acting kit which were blue screening with xmp but it was working alright which manual tuning

[frigid stag]

You can get 8200c36 for less

From different brands

People still buy them for the aesthetics though

[cedar compass]

I had like 10 doa corsair ddr4 kits

they were totally sux

[fresh timber]

i overclocked my corsair k

[cedar compass]

my favorite ram brand is teamgroup now lol

[fresh timber]

i buy gskill for now on

[cedar compass]

although I buy lots of corsair rams from newegg becouse combo and gift deals lol

[viral plover]

Based on my personal experience, I say: most of the products Corsair produces are excellent, especially: keyboard, PSU, CPU Coolers

[cedar compass]

they didn't release royal gold 64gb kit so I mad at them

[sinful blade]

Those are the only 3 I can agree with

Everything else is meh at best

[viral plover]

After all, not all products produced by any company are perfect.

[sinful blade]

They are all overpriced though

Compared to similar quality stuff

[cedar compass]

I wonder why we don't have FSP psus around much . I like them so much

[frigid stag]

Their monitors are nice too

Xeneon flex

Still really expensive

[cedar compass]

I bought bunch of FSP hydro G Pro psus for cheap from local shop and I loved them

I still hanging out with miniled monitor

[viral plover]

because corsair is a high-end brand

But everything Gigabyte produces is trash, and so is Lenovo: especially Lenovo laptops!

[frigid stag]

Gigabyte has great boards

[silk sonnet]

I’m getting my first pc today. Can someone make sure I have everything other than my case?

[cedar compass]

I call them gigatrash lol

gigabyte have like worst quality control around

[frigid stag]

🔑🔑🔑

[viral plover]

you can always read reviews on google how trash are gigabyte boards: just search on techpowerup reviews

[frigid stag]

Yea the potato am4 boards from 2017

[silk sonnet]

Anyone?

[viral plover]

gigabyte is and was trash: just had a geforce fx 5900xt

[frigid stag]

Well ye thats like a 14 year old gpu

If not more

[viral plover]

my parent system of course

[frigid stag]

They’re not the same now as they were in 2010 or whatever

[cedar compass]

I got gigabyte mobo just yesterday that heatsing screws were loose lmao . i lifted mobo from heatsing and I felt it's loose . I tightened screws and hope thermal pads were alright

[frigid stag]

I don’t think anyone would call it trash

[viral plover]

Yeah, I know, gigabyte is even worse now!

[frigid stag]

Peak

[cedar compass]

their products is alright but their quality control sux

if you buy from place with easy return policy you're alright

[viral plover]

just 1 motherboard brand is good: asus rog strix and up

[silk sonnet]

Anyone?

[viral plover]

never buy from other brands or asus tuf

[frigid stag]

Evga is the goat

I’d buy from them always

[cedar compass]

yeah you're all set . good build tho .

[viral plover]

was, evga is dead now

[frigid stag]

Eh their last board is z790 so it’s pretty recent ish

Msi has good stuff too

[cedar compass]

tuf x870 is good . built 10x pc with tuf x870 and they're solid . I can agree like msi tomahawk z890 mobos feels like they made out paper . their pcb is so thin that I was nerveus when I Build it . it feld like it's gonna breake when I touch it

industry sux

[rancid juniper]

finally

[cedar compass]

stay away from their z890s . they have like 1mm pcb

[rancid juniper]

pain

[viral plover]

there The ASUS TUF series is no different from other companies' products. It's all a lie to say that it's military grade. With this lie, they're just adding a lot to the price of the TUF series products and deceiving people!

[fresh timber]

i have tuf

its cheap

tuf is cheaper than ROG

[cedar compass]

yeah their military grade stuff sux but if I had to choise between msi tomahawk and tuf I'd choise TUF lol

[viral plover]

ive a tuf case from 2018 is feels like a cheap chinese case

[viral plover]

go for rog strix and up

totally worth it

[cedar compass]

yup . stay away from prime as well lol

[viral plover]

but asus is really tip-off

just buy only motherboard/graphics cards from asus

[cedar compass]

their tuf psus sux tho

[crimson scroll]

Does this happen to anyone else here too? Fallout 4 freezes and crashes and loud buzzing noise and pc becomes unresponsive

[cedar compass]

anyways Corpos sux in general but we can discuss which company is more sux lol

[viral plover]

and oh, i forgot: buy asus's rog qd-oled monitors too: better than most of brands, especially samsung

[cedar compass]

everytime when I say this I sound like Johnny silverhand lmao

[viral plover]

😁

[cedar compass]

Currently using G9 minileds . still didn't swithc to oled but yeah samsungs oled sux

Samsung have good minileds

[devout forum]

Honestly

Cheapest OLED is best OLED

[cedar compass]

I have weird ussie with oleds . they reducing brightness when I open big white panel lmao

[devout forum]

Unless it's the really cheap (for OLED) AOC their firmware sucks and there is like a 25% chance you'll get one that has a basically unfixable red tint

Even calibrated
It's red tinted

[cedar compass]

cheapest OLED I could buy lol

[fresh timber]

get away from me

[cedar compass]

I sold it tho . it's image quality wasn't bad but everything else were sux lol

[fresh timber]

its better than what i got

[cedar compass]

non updateable firmware , weird acing abl

[fresh timber]

what i got.. cost the same...

[cedar compass]

I using regular G9 for gaming and G9 4K for working

I got rid of 2x27 inch setups

[viral plover]

Guys, I'm thinking of buying a gaming case. Which company has the highest build quality?

[fresh timber]

i use dual 27inch, i cant f it or justify a ultrawide

[cedar compass]

I used to have dual 27 setup but after getting G9 for gaming , I got rid of them at my workbench too lol . 32:9 is amazing

it's probably samsung have rapid curvature , you can easily see full 49 inch screen without moving your eyes

[fresh timber]

damn

most my games dont support uw anyways

[cedar compass]

yeah luckily it have local dimming so when sides are turned off you don't even see it's there

at dark room ofc lol

[crimson scroll]

I used DDU twice to uninstall my nvidia drivers im reinstalling them rn hopefully it works i dont want to buy another gpu rn

I dont think it worked my screen is black

Now my pc reset

[frigid stag]

Lol at least make the scam less obvious next time

[velvet summit]

Thanks for the fifty bucks loser

I'm gonna buy 500 vbucks now

[frigid stag]

Didn’t even hide the link

Bro thought he was smart with it

Scammers btfo

[velvet summit]

It was hidden

At least on my screen

[devout forum]

Wait what happened???

Did we just have another scammer?

[velvet summit]

Maybe it was just some setting or your discord acting wacky but the link was formatted

[velvet summit]

Average day on discord

[sinful blade]

Everyone just applaud dyno

Does anyone recognize this cooler?

[worthy meteor]

If there's a second fan, drp4

[sinful blade]

There is not

As far as I’m aware
This guy on fbmp has it

[frigid stag]

Ah another bonus of not updating my discord

[lone mango]

Yes

[lone mango]

Thats a dark rock pro 4 without the second fan

[rancid juniper]

[lone mango]

The missing fan is a silent wings 3

[dusk knot]

Kek

[velvet summit]

I keep my discord updated in hopes that it won't be buggy anymore....

Every other update or so maybe one bug disappears but then a new one appears

[frigid stag]

I don’t update it for the same reasons and the ui

[crimson scroll]

Dead cpu? Or dying cpu? None of my nvme slots work nor my top pcie

[elfin mural]

that's a gpu fault

[lone mango]

Thats really bad

[elfin mural]

most likely

[crimson scroll]

My cpu is officially dead

[rancid juniper]

This isn't incredible

[crimson scroll]

No post no nothing

And no im not using a gpi rn

[elfin mural]

so it is indeed the cpu

[crimson scroll]

Nvm i restarted and back

OH MY GOD

Cpus a goner guys

[lone mango]

Check this out

[crimson scroll]

Thats a gpu issue

But some games do that

[lone mango]

Kind of

[frigid stag]

Yous just need to stop buying ewaste 😭

[lone mango]

It was a certain software I was using

[crimson scroll]

The forest did something similar for me but it was all black

[crimson scroll]

Its my cpu im sure of it

I need 15$ to replace it

[frigid stag]

Probably

[lone mango]

Basically it sets manual power profiles on the gpu, and that creates instability

[frigid stag]

Just save up some money and get a working computer

[lone mango]

Then when it crashes it crashes hard

[velvet summit]

I'll pay you $15 for your mom's credit card number and the funny 3 numbers on the back

[frigid stag]

What cpu costs 15 bucks

[lone mango]

athlon

idk

[frigid stag]

😭

Lol my dad says those are like toys for kids 😭

[lone mango]

Oooo yeah atom

Yeah he gonna keep the jank setup and get an atom

[frigid stag]

I mean they kind of are, usually they use them at schools or what people give their kid as their first pc

Even offices usually go for at least i3 or some kind of i5

[fresh timber]

hes broke cause he bought ewaste so thats all he can afford

[lone mango]

Pentium igpu gaming

[fresh timber]

uhg

[crimson scroll]

I3-7100

[fresh timber]

i dont wanna buy this but i need to

[frigid stag]

😭

ATP just save up some money and get a real working computer

[fresh timber]

real

he has a y60 with that

[lone mango]

Yeah he gotta tough it out for a little bit and save for longer to get something worth buying

[frigid stag]

[lone mango]

Hacker screen

[frigid stag]

Priorities

[frigid stag]

Yea, can buy older stuff too but this cheap there’s bound to be some kind of catch

[lone mango]

On that third reboot he went into the matrix

[crimson scroll]

Stop hatin bruh it was my bday money was gonna spend 140$ on a o11 vision but i cluld afford the y60 so i got it

[crimson scroll]

That was a while back

[fresh timber]

ima still hate for how silly that idea was

[crimson scroll]

I love the case bite me

(I regretted it at first lmao!

[lone mango]

[crimson scroll]

)

[fresh timber]

ima lick you @heavy dew

[frigid stag]

The case isn’t the problem

[crimson scroll]

Lmfao what is that username

[frigid stag]

The problem is spending 400 on a case for those kind of parts

[crimson scroll]

Ironically these issues started happening after i swapped into this xD

[frigid stag]

Lol

It’s always better to prioritise performance over aesthetics till you hit a certain budget

[crimson scroll]

I like the case wouldve had it in December but i figured my pc doesnt work so i just splurged on stuff for it windows etc etc

This was for my first pc brw^

And yes it still works

[raven gulch]

is there a channel for general computer tech support kinda things?

[lone mango]

Can say here or build chat

[raven gulch]

sweet, is there some kind of free trusted program or something that could diagnose my pc? it's been running slow lately and i don't wanna reset my pc 😭

[frigid stag]

Reinstalling windows is the only way

All those programs if they exist are most likely scams or gimmicks

[lone mango]

Maybe task manager can show what is taking up your resources

[frigid stag]

That’s one of the pros of overspeccing a pc. So many cores and ram you don’t even have to close one game to start another 🥱

[lone mango]

Last night I was showing my friend who has an 8 gig w11 laptop what 32 gigs can do and thats not even that much in todays market

I had the minecraft server open, minecraft, browser, deep rock, some other programs and still had 25% space left

[raven gulch]

i see both discord and opera are using very high amounts of power but idk why

[frigid stag]

Pretty normal for discord

[lone mango]

I think that windows power thing is pointless

[frigid stag]

Devs rather add useless bs no one asked or cares about but not fix things like that

[lone mango]

Gotta look at the ram, cpu and disk usage

[frigid stag]

“We added more rounded corners though!”

[raven gulch]

nothing's being used like crazy but things like opera are running so slow i sometimes have to restart it

[crimson scroll]

Dont yse opera lol

It runs slow asf on my pc

[lone mango]

Maybe its opera then

[crimson scroll]

Had to delete it

[raven gulch]

i thought it was good

[crimson scroll]

Chrome runs pretty quick

[raven gulch]

what about brave or firefox

[viral plover]

hi again

[lone mango]

I think brave or floorp

Up to you

[raven gulch]

what the hell is floorp

[lone mango]

Lmaoo

Floorp is basically firefox+

[crimson scroll]

Neither ive never used brave tho

Just use chrome man

[lone mango]

Please do not use chrome

[viral plover]

any advice about the best build quality wired gaming mouse most for fps

[frigid stag]

Librewolf is better

[lone mango]

Use brave or some kind of firefox/fork of it

[frigid stag]

Brave just uses your data for ai, while pretending to be privacy focused xD

[lone mango]

Librewolf runs at 60hz and clears everything when closing

[frigid stag]

That’s why it’s nice

except the 60hz

I’m sure there’s a work around for it

[lone mango]

Its part of whats called resist fingerprinting

[viral plover]

👆

[lone mango]

Resist fingerprinting makes your computer blend in with other computers when it comes to things like refresh rate

Other identifiers

I use floorp and clear cookies on exit and strict settings

Good enough

[misty sparrow]

i do hate that it blocks some things you may prefer to have enabled

[lone mango]

Also runs nice and unloads tabs

[frigid stag]

Ye I think you can disable fingerprinting

[misty sparrow]

like dark mode

[frigid stag]

There’s other good underground browsers

[lone mango]

But thats the point of librewolf though

I just wanted something like firefox but better so I got floorp

[crimson scroll]

Guys

I have amazong news

My gpu is fine

Something is wrong with my current system

I checked with my old pc and she work’s just fine

Running a furmark on my main rig rn with my nvme removed and is doing perfectly fine

[lone mango]

Whats interesting about going to am5 is the fact that my gpu uses more power now

Earlier it would be like 145 max, now I saw it go above 160

[tranquil pebble]

probably removed a CPU bottleneck

[lone mango]

So I guess it is working harder because of more headroom

[lone mango]

Probably

Unreal engine 5

Well 6 is on the way

So games are gonna be even more cpu heavy

[misty sparrow]

i feel like for UE5 they need to fix poor frames

played a Fortnite custom game and that performance dropped really hard

[lone mango]

Dont worry make sure you get a 9800x3d because then they move it to 6, it will use all of its threads

Then it wont matter once you spend $500 on a cpu and spend another 500 2 years later on the next x3d

[misty sparrow]

I'm probably not going to get a game with UE5 unless it runs good or is demanding enough to have a valid reason to use a lot of resources

but if it struggles on 1080p High then we have a problem

[lone mango]

You will save a lot of money

[misty sparrow]

I'm already saving a lot of money

[frigid stag]

Needs performance mode

[lone mango]

Yeah low settings turns off the unreal stuff like lumen for example

I think the highest you can go is medium before it turns on

[misty sparrow]

a thing i noticed, a lot of UE5 games look too similar

don't know why

[lone mango]

Honestly I don't know exactly why either. I think its the lighting they use and how high fidelity they all look

[sinful blade]

Using the oblivion engine tweaks from nexus, wife’s 3600 and 5700 XT(mine)
Went from 6-10 frames outside of anvil to 70+

https://tenor.com/view/ateam-plan-together-i-love-it-when-hannibal-gif-15826333

[lone mango]

They probably all slap lumen and nanite and call it

[misty sparrow]

and another thing

Oblivion remaster looks good but I think the artstyle is a bit too different from OG Oblivion

[lone mango]

They need to make mods like this for all of the games, not just bethesda

[sinful blade]

Nah

[frigid stag]

I always turn it off individually but still demanding

[misty sparrow]

I feel like OG Oblivion had a bit more vibrance in the colors than remastered...to me, it feels like a Halo CE Anniversary situation

[lone mango]

Yeah it is a little duller for le photorealism

think theres an option to disable IGP on your bios

[crimson scroll]

What if my pcie lanes die

[rancid juniper]

if that happens you can reset bios by pulling out the cmos battery and placing it back in

are you telling me that all pcie lanes are affected?

Haven’t gotten a single one

[fresh timber]

I had it set to msrp

I increased

[acoustic palm]

Gg

Some guy is saying 5070ti is msrp

[fresh timber]

I got no alerts for msrp of $750

[acoustic palm]

Is 9070xt still like that 700–730 range

[fresh timber]

I had alerts set for $760

[lone mango]

I reoriented my fans for cable management and moved my mic to another usb port and now the computer is not turning on

How does this happen

[paper verge]

forgot to turn on the psu

[lone mango]

Nah psu is on

[acoustic palm]

I’m gonna buy a vertical mount after my exam tmrw

And some pcie 90 degree adapters to fully hide the cables

Then I might look into some cable extensions for only the mobo, maybe the cpu too

[sinful blade]

Fbmp has seen multiple listings at $650

But they’re usually gone in minutes/an hour

[acoustic palm]

Well… not that

[lone mango]

Maybe I shorted something? Im gonna switch the psu off for a bit

Makes 0 sense but it be like that sometimes

[lone mango]

True

[acoustic palm]

Ok so
Vertical mount (cooler master)
90 pcie adapters (idk what’s good)
Mobo and cpu cable extensions (idk what’s good either)

[fresh timber]

Quok

Do u have pcie gen 5 on that bowed

[acoustic palm]

Huh

[lone mango]

Bruh did my psu die or something

[acoustic palm]

WTH are you saying

Are you drunk again 😭

[lone mango]

Oh man I found the issue

[fresh timber]

Do you have pcie gen 5

[acoustic palm]

I don’t think so

[lone mango]

So the fan falling knocked my 24 pin loose

[acoustic palm]

How do you check that again

[lone mango]

Or where I let it sit and had the top panel sit, maybe pushed down on the connector

[lone mango]

What board you got

[acoustic palm]

Rog strix b650-a

Idt I do

[lone mango]

So you have pci 5 but only for one m.2

X16 slots are 4

[acoustic palm]

[lone mango]

Correct

[fresh timber]

gen 5 can matter when u design a bad card

[lone mango]

Nobody gon buy it tho besides SIs

[lone mango]

Or people who dont know

[fresh timber]

then people will buy from those SIs

and those SIS i bet you will use gen 4

[lone mango]

Ight but the 9070 xt will be ok

[acoustic palm]

Wait… would the 5060ti 8gb be worse then 4060ti/3060ti????

[fresh timber]

yes

[lone mango]

Probably

[fresh timber]

your gpu is faster

old

[acoustic palm]

💀

No way

[fresh timber]

yup

[acoustic palm]

That’s actually insane

[paper verge]

depends for what

[acoustic palm]

Gaming

It would be worse in gaming

[paper verge]

isnt the 5060 like 30% faster than the 3060 or wtv?

[acoustic palm]

Look at the graph

[acoustic palm]

.

[paper verge]

just cause some website puts some stupid graphs together doesnt prove anything

its like 8gbs of vram diff so that fs affects stuff but that much?

doubt it

[acoustic palm]

…?

That’s not what it’s comparing

It’s comparing pcie 4 to pcie 5

Unless you have a pcie 5 mobo 3060ti will be better than a 5060ti

[paper verge]

bruh

[lone mango]

Is it over

[paper verge]

nah if u rlly wanna check should plug everything in and out

but some weird stuff does happen with pc building

[lone mango]

Nah I was talking about the 5060ti

But

I fixed it

[paper verge]

nice

[lone mango]

So it turns out that the top left screw for the motherboard standoff was loose and the motherboard was moving around

Maybe the screw shorted or something

So I screwed it down more and pushed on the 24 pin just to be sure

And now we chillin

[acoustic palm]

Bro

I tried showing my friend this graph

And he kept saying this is only if it runs out of vram

😭

[fresh timber]

so why is the same card performing worst on gen 4 compared to getn 5

is he special

[acoustic palm]

Yes

[acoustic palm]

I have no clue

[fresh timber]

[crimson scroll]

No im talking abt th stock nvidia one it fits any psu

[lone mango]

I dont think it would be so bad considering the market right now

[fresh timber]

honestly id get one and give my gf my 7700xt

[crimson scroll]

Lol ye need it for my gpu

[acoustic palm]

Why not 9070/xt

[fresh timber]

5070 is considerable cheaper, thats if i dont have enough

[lone mango]

Well the thing is

[acoustic palm]

Damn

[lone mango]

That card is in such high demand that it is still over msrp after 2 months of being out

It is going down though

[fresh timber]

i can get a 9070xt for $750-760

[acoustic palm]

Aren’t they 700-730?

[lone mango]

Prob varies by location

[acoustic palm]

And you can maybe find one for msrp if you’re lucky on fb mp

[fresh timber]

i can get a 9070xt for $729 and a 5070 for $609

[lone mango]

Wait aint it 550 msrp

Yeah

Nah I wouldnt get it for 610

Only get it if its really at msrp

Otherwise, not worth

Guys, I bought a lenovo yoga 9i 2in 1 (9th gen) a week ago and the hinge has been making cracking sounds, but its still rotating fine. Is this normal?

I'm pretty sure it was making these sounds at first

Maybe something is stuck inside?

should i get a replacement under warranty?

LIDAR does the same thing with glass tbf

[hoary zodiac]

There's a reason that autopilot on aircrafts still require pilot input

[devout forum]

there is a reason why even with a "full self-driving" car

[hoary zodiac]

And that's in a controlled environment

[devout forum]

The occupant of the driver seat is still responsible for whatever the car does

[tranquil pebble]

yeah ik but none of this reduces the funny of this IMO

[devout forum]

honestly the fact that only the Tesla fail is talked about shows the deep flaw of the self-driving car industry

Everyone is praising LIDAR even tho it is the same sort of flawed tech as camera-based vision is

it's 1000% politically motivated at this point (even tho the coyote fail is hilarious)

[tranquil pebble]

self driving is kind of cringe

[devout forum]

Self driving is for the idiots

idiots who aren't rich enough to hire a chauffeur

[tranquil pebble]

unfortunately it can drag others into their crashes

[devout forum]

Currently self-driving still crashes twice as often per million miles compared to human drivers (and that is already accounting for the metric tons of awful drivers who have no business being behind the wheel)

but THEORETICALLY it should be possible to make it so that self-driving has like a quarter of the number of crashes per million miles

We're just nowhere near close enough to that yet

[paper verge]

bruh what

autopilot on planes is not at all like a self driving car

btw am i the only person that actually thinks that a lot of stupid lads would also drive into that fake wall

like thats just as stupid as you going get your license and them asking you which wall is fake

like bro i aint never driving into a wall thats painted exactly like the surrounding area

[pliant berry]

Well yes it is an unrealistic test but it was an extreme way to illustrate lidars advantages over computer vision and question why a company focusing on self driving would ditch it

[devout forum]

Unironically cameras and LIDAR cover for each other's mistakes

[pliant berry]

Yeah that was the point of having both

[fresh timber]

How many bits are you

[fresh timber]

That’s why you suppose to be alert even when ur not driving

[elfin mural]

people expect to not pay attention while the car is handling its driving

[fresh timber]

I bet somewhere in the agreement you say you will stay at attention

It’s a human problem not a car problem tbh, should be paying attention

[elfin mural]

yeah

i agree wholly

people make a fatal mistake of trusting in the car's systems too much

and car manufacturers always state that the systems aren't fully autonomous yet

and that the vehicle requires constant attention to maintain control in case the system deactivates or malfunctions

[fresh timber]

Yup

It’s simply a convience

[sinful blade]

I want a dumb car that’s smart for nature

Gimme an electric car that doesn’t have a 7 foot wide touchscreen and self driving

[devout forum]

I mean

EVs are really not smart for nature either

it MIGHT be marginally better if the resources for it were sourced in a sustainable way

But like

It's estimated that about 85% of the materials used for making EV batteries is sourced from places with at best highly questionable labor laws (or in many cases literal child slavery financing warlords committing ethnic cleansings)
