it all went downhill

#

corporate greed, hurray

hoary zodiac
#

the enterprise users would just use proxmox

#

the average user

#

doesn't really care

lone mango
#

We love corporatism

hoary zodiac
#

hmmmmmm

#

it's kinda big and bulky tho

elfin mural
#

crypto pc

#

usdt

#

xd

hoary zodiac
#

wait

#

IS THAT mPCIE

elfin mural
#

i mean

#

fair

#

okay samsung just started debuting the s25 edge

#

the techtuber space is FILLED with videos about it

dense locust
#

its just a thin phone

hoary zodiac
#

oh wait's mxm

dense locust
#

nothing else

elfin mural
#

thin phone with worse battery life than normal

lone mango
#

Steam moment

hoary zodiac
#

sadge

elfin mural
#

very cool!

hoary zodiac
#

are there even any modern gpus with mxm

dense locust
#

apple is going to do the same thing this sep

elfin mural
#

most modern would be like what

#

a 2080?

dense locust
#

why are we going back to stupid thin

#

nobody wants that

hoary zodiac
#

I see a lot of keplers and maxwells

lone mango
#

Clearly

elfin mural
#

yeah maxwell and kepler is common

lone mango
#

And you will like it

hoary zodiac
#

T1000?

#

turing

#

nice

#

you know what

#

this has potential

#

as a compute machine

#

then again

#

haswell

#

it's 3x-4x the size of a mini pc

elfin mural
#

why do some gaming laptops still come with 8gb of ram

#

not vram, ram

hoary zodiac
#

mfw kaby lake costs as much as haswell

elfin mural
#

wat

#

that's just stupid

#

lmao

hoary zodiac
#

I'm looking for a cheapo that uses ddr3

hoary zodiac
#

got ram lying around

dense locust
#

even apple stopped 8gb

#

albeit for a stupid reason

#

one that cant even release

frigid stag
#

Like 1650 or 2050

#

With like an i3 or some older i5

dense locust
#

how much are these low end ones

elfin mural
#

500-600 new

frigid stag
#

Idk depends, usually 500 sometimes less

hoary zodiac
#

this comes with ram

dense locust
#

you can get an m4 mac mini for that
i mean its not a laptop but still

hoary zodiac
#

oh wait it's out of stock

frigid stag
#

People buy them even though an igpu could probably catch up

elfin mural
#

my igpu beats em

#

since they're stuck with 45w

lone mango
#

Waiting for rdna 4 igpu

#

igpu fsr 4

hoary zodiac
#

I just want a ddr3 machine

#

is that so much to ask for

lone mango
#

Laptop competition is done for

frigid stag
#

My laptop I got for 400 had 16gb so it’s not that rare anymore

hoary zodiac
#

now that I think about it

#

these barebones machine are all double the price of skylake platforms

lone mango
#

Now I can rest

dense locust
#

my igpu is a 9800x3d gpu i hear its bad

hoary zodiac
#

I mean the ryzen igpus aren't bad

elfin mural
#

cough

#

710M

#

it's slower than GT 730

hoary zodiac
#

in 2025?

elfin mural
#

...yes

hoary zodiac
#

maybe if it was UHD620 sure

elfin mural
#

in the desktop AM5 stuff

lone mango
#

So it has 1 wgp, or two compute units

hoary zodiac
#

but in 2025

lone mango
#

Quite small

elfin mural
#

it's just there to exist

#

nothing else

#

it's worse than even intel's igpu equipped in its desktop skus

hoary zodiac
#

why

#

wtf

lone mango
#

But can do 1440p minecraft with an ultralight shader at like 60-90 fps

hoary zodiac
#

that's worse then what

#

a 3400g igpu

elfin mural
#

vega 7 is leagues ahead lmao

#

so yeah

#

not even comparable

hoary zodiac
#

3200g even

lone mango
#

Apparently zen 6 will have a completely reworked iod

#

Apparently should have more compute units

#

Like 4 or something

hoary zodiac
#

gonna look on fbm for mini pcs

lone mango
#

We gotta see if it is true or not

elfin mural
#

9800X3DG where

#

it'd be hilarious

#

makes zero sense for a gaming cpu ofc

hoary zodiac
#

see

#

intel has quicksync

#

on amd the igpu can be a paperweight

elfin mural
#

tbh nvenc is just

#

better now

hoary zodiac
#

better than qsv?

elfin mural
#

yeah

#

especially considering that most gamers are on newer gpus

#

like at least 30 series

hoary zodiac
#

true

elfin mural
#

or 40

hoary zodiac
#

qsv is nice as a standalone

#

but if you have a dgpu

#

even better

#

actually

#

I wonder

#

if streaming with nvenc is more efficient than streaming with qsv

#

surely you'd reduce gpu load

elfin mural
#

and that's why streamers use capture cards

hoary zodiac
#

true

elfin mural
#

having a dedicated hardware to capture and stream stuff is even better

hoary zodiac
#

they can be quite expensive tho

elfin mural
#

ya

#

but if ur famous enough it's no issue

hoary zodiac
#

might be cheaper to just get a pc sometimes

frigid stag
#

Nice, I finally have a use for my haswell pc

#

Steaming pc

elfin mural
#

as a beginner you just use whatever you have

hoary zodiac
#

n100 is probably better

#

low power consumption and more codecs

#

...or you can just use the cpu

frigid stag
#

I mean I already have this kekw I just need to add a gpu

elfin mural
#

h264 and haswell qsv is enough

frigid stag
#

Does it even need one?

hoary zodiac
#

you only need it if you want hevc and other codecs

#

if you use h264

#

haswell works

frigid stag
#

I could throw in a gtx980

hoary zodiac
#

eh

#

depends on what codec

frigid stag
#

What does YouTube and twitch use

#

H264?

hoary zodiac
#

for streaming?

#

idk

#

I think twitch uses h264

elfin mural
#

you can use anything tbh

#

it'll get compressed either way

hoary zodiac
#

yeah anything works

frigid stag
#

I guess I could find a a310

#

Probably better than a 980 for that

hoary zodiac
#

yes

#

I mean you could try using the haswell qsv

#

it might not be bad

#

it's just that you'll need faster internet speeds

#

to stream it over the internet

frigid stag
#

Lol they’re tiny

elfin mural
#

okay now this is just sad

#

so haswell qsv is actually crappy

hoary zodiac
#

jesus christ software sucks so much

elfin mural
#

look at the 680

hoary zodiac
#

there's 2 4770k tho

#

I wonder if one's using software rather than hardware transcode

elfin mural
#

no

#

it's just better quality preset

hoary zodiac
#

wait

#

is lower better

elfin mural
#

nope

#

the chart is frames per second

hoary zodiac
#

hmm

elfin mural
#

so it is higher better

hoary zodiac
#

interesting

#

tfw my ddr3 is e-waste

#

with how much these mini pcs cost

#

I have spare DDR4 so

#

Buying any mini pc will use up my spare ram

Or did valve do something different with their anticheat runtimes

#

Duality of protondb

#

Just did updates in 30 seconds thank you linus torvalds

hoary zodiac
#

Or it doesn't work

#

It's contained in wine

lone mango
#

Thank you wine

hoary zodiac
#

That's why kernel level anticheats don't work

lone mango
#

So basically valves runtimes contain it so the game can still run

#

Make the game happy

hoary zodiac

Steam do have runtimes for anticheats ye

alienware released its "budget" gaming laptop

#

That's how much my 5900hx + 3070 laptop costs

#

With 16gb of ram

#

It was a used laptop from 2 years ago but still

#

3050 is worth nowhere near 1k

velvet summit

i would

even if it's gonna leave my wallet in stitches

Lenovo reveals LOQ and LEGION laptops with RTX 5050 GPU Lenovo is the first laptop manufacturer to officially unveil its RTX 5050 systems.

rancid juniper

not introduce horrid blurring

opaque sedge

I turned it off in Fortnite, instantly gained 100 fos

You can always super sample

rancid juniper
#

SSAA is like probably the hardest one

#

I'd take MSAA anyday

#

that AA solution just works

elfin mural
#

sometimes the simplest solution works the best

#

it just basically emulates rendering at a higher res

#

but with less than native res perf impact (if implemented correctly)

#

jagged edges will remain, but it's less prominent, and doesn't shimmer

fresh timber
#

Sometimes I double the render resolution on my monitors

Games be thinking run 4k

Then I slap fsr in it

Kinda funny cuz i remember them really hyping the rebirth port saying they got a crapton of settings to change better visuals yk like a reformed alcoholic parent but still ended up showing signs of that not happening kekw

Lol

hoary zodiac

#

the human eye cant see more than 8gb of ram anyways

lone mango
#

Wow 1 gig is insane

#

I thought 2.1 was good and my laptop using 1.7 is insane

hoary zodiac
#

I riced the hell out of my install

#

I use Hyprland

lone mango
#

Right

#

Super light

hoary zodiac
#

Most WMs are generally barebones

#

You have to do more work to get it to the point that it works for you

lone mango
#

Bro do I even need to upgrade ram for my laptop? lmfao

hoary zodiac
#

Nah

#

I'm on 8gb

#

Only because my second dimm slot makes my memory unstable for some reason

lone mango
#

I really think all I need if I do upgrade is an extra 4 gigs for my server if I ever move it to my laptop

hoary zodiac
#

I should get a 16gb stick

#

And then use my current ram in a mini pc

#

Hmmm

lone mango
#

Ngl

#

I thought of taking the 8 gig stick out of my mini pc and swap it with the 4 gig stick in my laptop because we dont use the mini pc anymore

hoary zodiac
#

Give me the mini pc

lone mango
#

n95

hoary zodiac

Oh

lone mango
velvet summit
#

Still fine probably

#

For basic uses

lone mango
#

Yeah just dont put it on a 4k screen

#

Gets a little choppy when scrolling

velvet summit
#

Or just use it as like a webserver

lone mango
#

Nowadays you can get a n150 for the same price if not even cheaper

velvet summit
#

Intel celeron CPUs are great for that

lone mango
#

Gmktek n150 for like 130 or something. Pretty good honestly

@grand kernel any updates on that EZ ram oc?

grand kernel
#

I'm trying to push 2200 FCLK rn

#

it's weirding me out how high my CLDO VDDP needs to be

#

but I've confirmed that it is indeed CLDO VDDP

#

I see other people doing 2133 at 1V

rancid juniper
#

not an open world iron man game? interesting

grand kernel
#

I need 1.15 for 2133 and 1.2 for 2200

#

nothing suggests that 1.2 is unsafe, just weird

rancid juniper
#

its how it is ig

grand kernel
#

or if it's just my chip being weird

#

cause I can boot 2200 with 1V and run some benchmarks

worthy meteor
#

The former is more likely

rancid juniper
#

2200 is like max FCLK?

#

or it can go higher

grand kernel
#

but it fails stability tests instantly

#

2233 is not unheard of on unicorn samples

#

but generally 2200 is the top end

#

I get no post at 2233

#

I want to say running 2200 FCLK on AM5 is like running 1967 FCLK on AM4

#

and 2133 is like 1900

rancid juniper
#

i see

grand kernel
#

some unicorn AM4 chips could actually run 2000 FCLK stable

rancid juniper
#

+5fps on minecraft as a result

Anyone here had their packages ripped open and stuff stolen? Wanna buy from newegg but they ship in marked boxes

grand kernel
#

I've ordered probably over 50k from newegg over the years

#

never once had an issue with packages

crimson scroll
#

The most ive bought was corsair rgb fans

#

Dont think the box was marked

grand kernel
#

boxes just come with newegg logo on them

crimson scroll
#

I think this one was blank

#

Ive seen a couple dozen 5090s stolen from newegg boxes

#

Dont wanr it to happen to me

worthy meteor

cause the delivery service knows what's inside lol

Its shutting down

#

I always cut my psu off

#

So i dont care that mines dors ot

sharp charm
#

So does the 4 in 4070 stand for the 4 in 2024

worthy meteor
#

Another thing is Nvidia drivers have a lot of bugs relating to sleep mode

#

The driver likes to hang when it sleeps with nvldmkm showing up in event viewer

tranquil pebble
#

yikes

#

unfortunately I have to deal with potential nvidia bugs with my laptop

sharp charm
#

Is steam os a good operating system

worthy meteor
#

It's a bug that has been around for years, once in a while Nvidia says they fixed it but it shows up again

tranquil pebble

#

Is a $500 budget reasonable

crimson scroll
#

Yes but likely would be pretty bad in newgen games

tranquil pebble
#

$500 might pay the sales tax on an Nvidia card

worthy meteor
#

Doable depending on what you're trying to do

#

It'll either just be iGPU or lots of used parts

tranquil pebble
#

or both

sharp charm
#

I just want anything that's good enough,I working with 4gb of ram and an Intel celeron right now

hoary zodiac
#

Used T3600 + 1080ti

hoary zodiac

Something like that

Chromebooks are bad

Dont get one

#

No steam

#

Just android games lol

sharp charm
#

I am gonna buy my brother's steam deck off him soon though

tranquil pebble
#

get Windows laptop and put Linux on it if you want a light OS laptop

hoary zodiac
#

So yeah it's not impossible to get a decent pc for $500

crimson scroll
#

Plays hood games

#

Good

sharp charm
#

But it might be outdated in a couple years so I wanted to learn about pcs

hoary zodiac
#

I've undershot the budget

#

You could probably get a 6750XT or something lile that

#

And still be around $500

tranquil pebble
hoary zodiac
#

True

sharp charm
hoary zodiac
#

But relative to what he has

#

It's night and day

sharp charm
#

I feel like I would screw something up badly if I tried

worthy meteor
hoary zodiac
#

Depends tbh

#

Some of these psus are oem 600w

tranquil pebble
#

the real problem with Chromebooks is that they are designed to trap you into Google's ecosystem more or less

hoary zodiac
#

Forgot the name of the oem

worthy meteor
#

Generally it straight up doesn't have pcie 8 pins for you though

sharp charm
#

My problem with them is no steam

hoary zodiac
#

Hmm

sharp charm
#

That's why I got windows

hoary zodiac
#

True

#

Still might be under $500

sharp charm
#

Problem is

hoary zodiac
#

Or around $500

sharp charm
#

Bad computer

hoary zodiac
#

But yeah if you don't chase the latest AAA titles as high settings

#

You can get a pretty playable experience

#

For $500

crimson scroll
#

@sharp charm just build your own pc

#

Do you have a case?

sharp charm
#

It so obvious now

crimson scroll
#

Bruh

sharp charm
#

No I don't have any parts

#

Starting fresh

crimson scroll
#

Buy them

hoary zodiac
#

It's not your money to spend

#

Besides building a pc from scratch isn't always the most cost effective option

crimson scroll
sharp charm
#

So prebuilt?

#

I don't have favebook

hoary zodiac
#

Depends on the budget

crimson scroll
hoary zodiac
#

On lower budget prebuilts + a gpu upgrade is a decent option

crimson scroll
#

Like ibuypower and best buy

hoary zodiac
#

Eh

sharp charm
#

Give or take

hoary zodiac
#
#

This is just an example

#

Don't actually buy these it's not the best you could get for this price

#

Just to show that it's pretty doable

#

I'm gonna look for a legit combination

grand kernel
#

every nvidia gpu I've ever owned (and that's a LOT of them) was always rock solid stable

#

and now I'm hearing about $4000 gpus struggling to display windows desktop without black screening?

i havent had an issue with my pc

and that happened to be 9070xt

but it seems i chose the worst parts imaginable

worthy meteor

I'm also on the 9070xt side, no problems yet

my 5700xts were a pain in the rear to tune but they never gave me issues once I got stable tunes on them

do y'all think an am4 list is possible for $150

grand kernel

sure

hoary zodiac

seems doable

worthy meteor

Used yea

hoary zodiac

I'm at $450 with a prebuilt already so

MSRP 5080....I couldn't lose the opportunity

hoary zodiac

used am4 desktop would probably be the best option really

I have an am4 test bench with a dgpu that I spent like $70 on lol
