[rancid juniper]

Can you change themes?

Like on the home menu of the console

[craggy shoal]

dawg what

[hushed harbor]

hey is there any way i could undervolt my nitro 5 an515 58 without tampering with bios?

what dawg

[craggy shoal]

oh okay a genuine question

I thought you were about to send some scam link 💀

[hushed harbor]

throttlestop doesnt allow nothing

i can send a link, let me just find some on twitter real quick

cuz my laptop throttles almost everytime i play anything

92 degrees just like that holy

[craggy shoal]

yeah that's just normal gaming laptop things

I let my laptop get to 92C when gaming though

[hushed harbor]

ikr but then games stutter and fps drops

[craggy shoal]

Anything higher than 95C and I'm starting to worry

[sinful blade]

@hushed harbor get a cooler for it

One of the lap coolers.

[proud jackal]

I have light mode and dark mode

[craggy shoal]

I also have a 3D printed stand that props my laptop up while gaming (better airflow obviously)

[rancid juniper]

😔 they got no customization fr

[hushed harbor]

world of tanks can get up to 180 fps, until it throttles, then insta drop to 60ish

but the bios gatekeeps me from undervolting

check this

cant do nothing

[craggy shoal]

I mean it's a laptop, it'll prevent you from doing stuff like that in the BIOS

[rancid juniper]

Maybe something to do with cfg lock?

[hushed harbor]

no idea tbf thats why i came here

[rancid juniper]

Since you're using throttle stop I'm assuming you have Intel.

Why not use XTU?

[hushed harbor]

xtu doesnt even open, it straight up bans me lmao

[rancid juniper]

Ah

[craggy shoal]

My Legion 5i let's me overclock the GPU lolll

Right in Lenovo Vantage, which came preinstalled with the laptop

[rancid juniper]

Overclocking a laptop is goofy but at least the option is there

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I don't OC anything on this thing

[rancid juniper]

If I got a gaming laptop I'd crank all voltages as low as I possibly can

[craggy shoal]

OC the GPU, maybe? The CPU? Nah, it's a 14650HX (an i7 that's power-hungry)

[rancid juniper]

Yikes

[craggy shoal]

I'm not constantly gaming on it though and I watch the temperatures

And if it dies, I have my MacBook with me

Rarely goes up to 90 unless the task is super intensive

[rancid juniper]

Bro said if it craps out it doesn't matter anyways

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[hushed harbor]

alr imma check the bios and if i find anything there

[rancid juniper]

Why tf are these 4060 laptops 900 and up?

What da hell

[craggy shoal]

Because you're paying for an overpriced GPU plus whatever else a laptop comes with

[rancid juniper]

The cheapest I can find is like a 779 one but it's paired with Intel...

[craggy shoal]

I technically got mine for free because Amazon "lost" mine but ended up delivering it anyways. They gave me a refund for a laptop I actually have and using rn

I got lucky lol

[rancid juniper]

I wish I had that luck

That's insane

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I wish I could do the same with a 5080 rn

[worn night]

dang

[elfin mural]

900 and up?

that's normal pricing

not on sale

it's always been like that since launch of 40 series laptops

[opaque sedge]

9 hundies sounds tame compared to what asus pumped out

1.2k 4060 laptops

I remember seeing one for 1.5

[elfin mural]

try me

[opaque sedge]

As well

[elfin mural]

1.2k 4050 laptop from asus

[opaque sedge]

Jesus

[elfin mural]

but i had no choice

it was either

gtx 850m or 4050

[rancid juniper]

😭

This market is so ass

[opaque sedge]

Barely any hardware improvements on top

[elfin mural]

next time im getting an amd laptop

..if i can even find one

availability's a mess

[opaque sedge]

Chips and gpus aren’t getting significantly efficient either

So steam deck 2 wont be coming anytime soon as well

[hushed harbor]

there is literally nothing in this bios 💀

[opaque sedge]

[rigid sinew]

good morning everyone!

[rancid juniper]

Mornin

Wait

It's the afternoon

[rigid sinew]

good afternoon too !

[elfin mural]

[rigid sinew]

gm jp! are you having fun

[dusk knot]

Afternoon for me

[rigid sinew]

good afternoon **

[dusk knot]

I am

Looking for a local gym. Walking though the city is fun

[rigid sinew]

[dusk knot]

[sharp sleet]

it seems okay now when i switch to new PSU

[rigid sinew]

i didnt need to cry this early

[opaque sedge]

I went there to see if anybody else was salty abt the switch 2 like me but… i only got hit in the feels instead

[rigid sinew]

i got chills so bad and i teared up ... reddit is such a crazy place

[rancid juniper]

these might be cheaper but beware of THIRD-PARTY sellers

[craggy shoal]

Man computers are expensive now. I'm glad I got into cars. Now I can pay 5090 prices but for stuff for my car and it's not considered overpriced

This and a stage 3 APR tune
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assembled-by-ecs-parts/is38-turbo-upgrade-kit/06k145722hkt2/

Still doesn't even come out to the price of a 5090 lol

And you get to have a lot more fun

[tranquil pebble]

Anyone know what ExitLag is on a technical level? It smells like snake oil to me and I'm curious.

[frigid stag]

Not sure I think they just change the routes

[craggy shoal]

I don't think it's needed tbh

Sounds like some bloatware

[frigid stag]

My ping is only high in one game

[craggy shoal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/dzypln/does_exit_lag_or_similar_services_actually/

[frigid stag]

It’s like 90 to 120. It’s unusable

[velvet summit]

Routing issues is a real thing but if you're playing competitive, you're using local ish servers

[frigid stag]

It’s not an fps game though so it’s fine to play on

[velvet summit]

Which bad routing is less likely to happen

[frigid stag]

Might just be normal for rocket league or I’m on the wrong servers

[paper verge]

you should use the vet discounts 😭

[velvet summit]

Bad routing mainly happens cross continental

[tranquil pebble]

so it might help for trying to play on European servers from the US?

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I wouldn't even bother with that program, however it got installed onto your computer

It relays data coming from your computer to their servers, then to the game's servers. When it could just be data from your computer to the game's servers. Doesn't make sense to me tbh

[paper verge]

sounds like a stupid way to try and prevent hackers

[craggy shoal]

Sounds like they're the one doing the hacking 💀

The fact that you have to pay for it
https://www.exitlag.com/pricing

I doubt it's any good too

[paper verge]

bruh

i thought you was talking about the actual game doing that

[craggy shoal]

Pay for a service that probably doesn't work, not to mention you're sending data to a third-party server. It's practically data theft and you're paying for it

[paper verge]

thats just how a DNS work dude

[trail nest]

chat! should i get the switch 2 or get the steam deck!?!?!?!?!?

[paper verge]

The idea is, your ISP routes you quicker to exitlags servers and from there it gets routed faster to the game servers

it makes total sense

This is usually done in middle eastern countries(where it has the most affects)

[tranquil pebble]

that is the logic I had going on in my head ngl

[craggy shoal]

Yeah big yikes

[tranquil pebble]

Discord is apparently promoting it too

[paper verge]

Wait you guys actually dont know how DNS works?

Funny enough i knew a DNS server that used to steal credit card creds but yeah

its still a very good concept that works

[tranquil pebble]

DNS and routing are not the same thing

[paper verge]

Exitlag acts like a DNS though ?

[tranquil pebble]

DNS only affects domain name look ups

if you know an IP address and use that to connect, DNS isn't even involved

[paper verge]

Well i mean isnt a DNS server routing at its core aswell?

[tranquil pebble]

and this is fairly common with games like gmod

[tranquil pebble]

No not really. It just maps domain names to IP addresses

[paper verge]

Im talking about dns servers

not the fundemental concept of a dns

there is either BGP or DNS routing

[tranquil pebble]

DNS servers do not direct your traffic through them though.

[paper verge]

Oh exitlag is a tunneling service

Again how are you guys arguing thats a flawed thing?

the concept is perfectly sensible

[hushed harbor]

is it possible to undervolt at least the damn gpu in this damn laptop?

i mean nitro 5

[frigid stag]

Thought it would be a bot ngl

[opaque sedge]

Guys why does downscaling or rather running a game at a resolution higher than ur monitor’s native usually fix the shimmer and blurriness from anti aliasing settings?

[craggy shoal]

I thought the same 💀

[hushed harbor]

thats the second time i shocked sb

dont flatter me so much <33

[craggy shoal]

Probably not even a girl too lol

[hushed harbor]

nada

[frigid stag]

It’s discord afterall

[craggy shoal]

figured 💀

[frigid stag]

It’s mostly larpers, catfishers pretending 💀

[hushed harbor]

anyway how do i undervolt a gpu

[frigid stag]

msi afterburner

[hushed harbor]

tried already

0.700 to like 0.850 raised to 1600mhz

did nothing

stuck at 1425

despite this

[frigid stag]

I’ve seen one mf doing it send a voice recording, dude had a deeper voice than me when I was 14 😭

Idk might be vbios limits

[hushed harbor]

i guess

annoying

as hell

ok something happened

[paper verge]

man you too old for that life my g

[hushed harbor]

went up to 1600

[paper verge]

god i love making fun of this old chap

[hushed harbor]

screen started stuttering and lagging as hell

at 1950

sht hit the fan

screen just went black for a bit

panicked

reset to default

[craggy shoal]

Talk to me when you put a tune on that Renault

[paper verge]

you realize UV can be worse than OV

[tranquil pebble]

It is essentially supersampling

[hushed harbor]

did it really carefully

~700 - 850 @ 1600mhz not more

[paper verge]

this dude 😂

what car do you have anyways?

[craggy shoal]

@paper verge which engine does it have? I need to know which flavor of underpowered to make fun of you with

[paper verge]

oh god, i really dont know

say its the 1.2L i really dont care dude

lol

[paper verge]

nice dude

you bike frfr ?

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[paper verge]

nice i love biking

[craggy shoal]

looking for parts for my GTI rn

I want a down pipe

[tranquil pebble]

lol those need turbos

[craggy shoal]

mmmmm

[tranquil pebble]

My Civic is a 1.8L, 138 to 142 HP roughly.

[tranquil pebble]

I have to ask... how is a 1.6 only making 90 HP? lol

A diesel I would get, but a 1.6L gas engine should be more than that

[paper verge]

lemme humble gramps real quick

[craggy shoal]

good luck I guess

[paper verge]

here kiddo

[craggy shoal]

Your neighbor has a very nice non-M car

[paper verge]

nah its my dads ion get it drive tho

i get the renault

[craggy shoal]

I mean I guess

[paper verge]

my neighbor has a gt63

[craggy shoal]

That’s unironically cool

This thing is craving a tune

[rough zinc]

blow it up

You know it wants to

[paper verge]

yeah its very dirty aswell, i can send a pic

[craggy shoal]

Man that's dirtier than my car rn

I thought mine was bad

that's cool though

[paper verge]

hes some lame old dude

ive seen him having an i8, gt63, a sf90 once

it was weird

[craggy shoal]

I just emailed this one shop that typically does maintenance on my car to see if they still do tunes. I thought they sold parts but it looks like most of their inventory went unlisted

The only thing they have for GTIs is a turbo muffler delete, which worries me because my main car friend who should be helping me is leaving town and now I won't have a car friend to help me with stuff like this 💀

I don't trust myself either. This is my first "moddable" car

I could probably do the tunes myself but I don't trust myself with a down pipe (nor do I even have the tools to suspend my car off the ground lol)

[craggy shoal]

Chat gone I guess

@paper verge Is it your bed time?

[velvet summit]

nothing to do with routing, it's just a domain lookup server basically
all it does is tell your device where the destination of any network resource is, but nothing about the path to it; that's the job of the routers in the path to determine the most efficent route to take to that location

[lone mango]

[velvet summit]

the most a dns can do is point you to a different location (such as a geo DNS) but that still doesnt do any routing, it just saying the address

DNS servers are basically a phonebook

assuming you know what those are

it hasnt been that long since those were still common right?

[lone mango]

[idle nexus]

DNS is like your secretary & you're like, "get that stupid advertisement on the phone" but secretary is all like, "sorry, sir, no one answered" lol

[velvet summit]

i remember being bored as hell as a kid and reading through phonebooks

[idle nexus]

but on purpose

cuz no one likes ads

[velvet summit]

ikr

bored enough to read ads

[idle nexus]

Ads are the enemy

except JG Wentworth ad

that's just classic

if I ever have a structured settlement but I need cash now, it's a no-brainer

same if I get long-term payments

or have an annunity

Rt in a game like that is pointless

It still looks old

[misty sparrow]

oh RT is on?

i can't tell

[rancid juniper]

yea its on, you have to look for specific areas/scenarios to see RT

honestly its hard for me to notice

[misty sparrow]

also I thought that, in the second screenshot, the guy with glasses was the character you were playing as

so I was about to say "your character's so beefy he brings your car lower to the ground" or something like that

I hope so too

ive been waiting on it to play TOTK

i'm waiting until the next zelda comes out before i get one. and if the prices are still abysmal i'll just uh- play on my super modded x86 based switch 2

[deep parcel]

eh who needs oled when you can dock it to a monitor that looks better

[upper rain]

true

[dusk knot]

But but

Handheld

[upper rain]

i never used the switch as a handheld really

[deep parcel]

meh handheld lol

[dusk knot]

Gasp

[upper rain]

it's just a home console to me tbh

[misty sparrow]

one thing i hate about switch is that the big games never drop in price

[dusk knot]

Brugh

[misty sparrow]

BOTW being sold at full price no DLC included on Switch 2 is basically a kick in the nuts

[upper rain]

i'd prefer if it was a box with better hardware rather than a handheld ngl, but i realize this precludes a lot of sales given what a big part of the market handheld "people" are

[deep parcel]

you can get copies of the games at pretty reasonable pricing used

like on FB market

also yeah BOTW is wild

[upper rain]

it's being sold for $0 with all dlc included on your x86 switch 2

[deep parcel]

the upgrade packs or whatever extra are fine though... I mean I get it but yeah... at least some of the upgrades are free

[misty sparrow]

FB Marketplace and eBay are some of the most unreliable sources of stuff I've ever seen TBH

don't get the popularity behind them

[deep parcel]

yeah true but its better than a pawn shop lol

if youre in a decent area then its decent

but yeah if your area sucks then probably not a great idea

[upper rain]

psst pssst

[misty sparrow]

I already got it for $0 on my Switch 1

[upper rain]

neato

i did too

iirc botw runs way better than totk for whateve reason

[misty sparrow]

totk has a lot more stuff apparently

i couldn't get into the game

i'm just amazed it runs on such weak hardware

[paper verge]

@craggy shoal is the retirement house closed today?

figured id drop by and give you some flowers

[upper rain]

i prefered botw gameplay wise, but really they are just very different games even if stylistically similar and i suppose similar in story

totk gives the player so much freedom that it sometimes becomes a drag to creativity imo, if that makes any sense at all. without really crossing that uncanny valley where you get to the point where you can be truly creative

[craggy shoal]

should I just uninstall BL3

[nocturne flicker]

If you have no intent of playing it sure I guess.

[misty sparrow]

I did want to play it but not with kernel level access

what the hell does it need it for anyway

it's not a multiplayer game

[rancid juniper]

wow cool

[lone mango]

I guess they added this after that new eula right

[nocturne flicker]

That was the entire point of the new EULA yes

[misty sparrow]

I wonder if rockstar games are affected by the eula

[lone mango]

I thought it was for more data collection

Because they were saying some nutty things

[lone mango]

Well it has online services even though shift is trash and eveyone just plays with a friend but we need to make sure everyone is a good boy, so we will collect a lot of data as well

[nocturne flicker]

Allowing kernel level access allows more data collection

They haven't actually added anything to the games in an update to take advantage of that new access from what I can tell but if they sneak it in in the future...

[lone mango]

New game is gonna cost $80 and it will have kernel access

Gonna flop so hard its crazy

[fresh timber]

my adblocker and other crap ends up fixing it within a day

i got that warning yerterday

i found new middle ground resolutins

[lone mango]

Waiting for ublock update that blocks the adblock popup

[mental yoke]

the enpoopification of the internet was inevitable when corpos bought there way into it

it is what it is tho

[upper rain]

2.5ghz 😭💔

[idle nexus]

I disabled Adguard extension for YT & just let uBlock handle it

[fresh timber]

i was vram limited

i dropped the res from 5k to 4k and i gained more than double the fps

[idle nexus]

cuz with ublock alone I never got that message

[fresh timber]

lollll

should o convice my dad to get a 8k tv

[idle nexus]

lol to watch what?

what 8k content is there?

I got 8200 to POST but 12900K doesn't wanna play ball with 8400 so far

heck

[mental yoke]

[lone mango]

[mental yoke]

ah i cant read lol

[idle nexus]

12900K would be really blue or violet as a color temperature

[mental yoke]

i wonder if my lightbulbs do that

[idle nexus]

6500K is already blue-ish white

[mental yoke]

i need to reconfigure my boujie led lights and mive them to areas i actually use

[craggy shoal]

@paper verge Make your Sandero sound like this

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

id upscale it kek

[idle nexus]

they've been saying 8k is coming for so long

I dunno just make sure it has 120 or higher refresh rate lol

[mental yoke]

id show you what i do with my 8k but its basically just 4 4k screens and each of those is like 4 1080p screens with a window in each one kinda like that scene in batman without the bezels

https://tenor.com/view/batman-dark-knight-surveillance-gif-21733581

[idle nexus]

that's a lot of K

[mental yoke]

so thats what 32 1080p windows?

16

i cant math

batman has 32 there

[fresh timber]

Imagine this

8k 24 inch

[frigid stag]

So borderlands 2 is free now apparently

Is it safe to add to library after all that stuff with the spyware

[nocturne flicker]

They haven't modified the game to add any spyware but they can at any time in the future, so proceed as you see fit

I've personally uninstalled any Borderlands games I have because I don't play it and don't monitor updates for them

[frigid stag]

So it’s just the new agreement?

From what I read, there’s a lot of shady things

[nocturne flicker]

Apparently it applies to all Take Two games

So Civ, Bioshock and etc

[north crescent]

It's just normal data that is found from any social platform you log into. It's basically just 2k account

[frigid stag]

It’s just these things

[north crescent]

Which is the same as literally every social platform out there

[frigid stag]

Not exactly, and games shouldn’t include this stuff

[nocturne flicker]

Most of that is due to the kernel level access Take Two maintains the right to employ. The games haven't been updated to include anything to take advantage of that. Yet

[north crescent]

It's for 2k account stuff

[frigid stag]

So are any of these things getting collected if I was to download it rn

[north crescent]

There is not a single thing there that isnt actually unusual for a social account with a payment thing

[frigid stag]

Isn’t borderlands 2 also like 10 years old

I doubt they’re updating it

And they’re trying to ban mods too

[nocturne flicker]

They are reserving the right to ban unapproved mods based on the wording iirc. I doubt they'd actually employ that right for anything not their current releases

That was tied in to the provisions against cheating

[deep parcel]

the actual game wouldnt be updated however the bootstrapper could be updated and would run the data scraper.

[north crescent]

If you do anything with 2K account stuff, yes. If all you're using is Steam, no. There is still info sharing tho on Steam, but idk to what extent

[nocturne flicker]

So I imagine it was meant to be they'll ban mods designed to directly impact the game in a fashion they deem cheating

[north crescent]

They arent actually running any data scrappers on your PC

[deep parcel]

im not saying that they are but im saying that they could

[north crescent]

Im too lazy to care, but I find it hard to believe that their clauses extends beyond 2k account stuff. As in, being able to put in a data scrapper

[opaque sedge]

https://youtu.be/a5-eDT1kvvM?si=n2YCWRB4iQV_5fGx prolly yt compression but… both look bad ngl

Not sure if spending 80 bucks on cyberpunk is worth it for such a mid experience 😭

[dense locust]

Isn’t it $70

[worn night]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dog-tax-evasion-baller-gif-15976099535771671347

[tranquil pebble]

turn them into fumos

[craggy shoal]

yor'e*

[worn night]

dang it

i misspelt yor'ue

[craggy shoal]

Ca'nt even read it

I’m having a stroke after reading that

(Deaded)

[worn night]

tha'ts crazy

[dusk knot]

Lmao..I'm liking these recommendations, YouTube. https://youtu.be/-PMBqMD21Z4?si=iLgxEIHRYznEexrG

[opaque sedge]

Oh looks like it is 70

[dense locust]

Still overpriced for a 5 year old game

[opaque sedge]

42 bucks on sale for a ps5 tho 😭

Similar pricing on steam during a sale

[opaque sedge]

Plus the nintendo key locks u to one device the switch 2

[tranquil pebble]

The consequences of a physics glitch irl could probably be catastrophic

[dense locust]

I’ll just play deltarune

[opaque sedge]

Damn man ngl i kinda want one just to compare it to my steam deck

[tranquil pebble]

from what I been hearing, there is no guarantee you will even be able to play games you buy on Switch 2 with the DRM nonsense

[opaque sedge]

Wait

They put drms on freaking console?!

[dense locust]

Consoles always have drm

Dunno what he’s talking about

[opaque sedge]

Drms r for anti pirating right?

[dense locust]

Yes

[opaque sedge]

Pcs get denuvo

Do consoles get denuvo as well?

[dense locust]

Even steam has default drm

Buy on gog if you don’t want drm

[tranquil pebble]

but in some cases you can get locked out of your games if you switch consoles multiple times

[opaque sedge]

Oh crap

[frigid stag]

How would you know if they did that

[tranquil pebble]

or so I hear.

[dense locust]

Are you talking about the virtual key cards?

[nocturne flicker]

It is all very laughable seeing as how most antipiracy solutions end up bypassed or broken within a week or so

[opaque sedge]

The time period drms usually check for swaps is every 24hrs right?

[opaque sedge]

The new elden ring game was cracked the first day apparently

But well it was from fromsoft

[tranquil pebble]

I might be, really dk. Lots of rumors going around rn.

[dense locust]

Only for popular games

[dense locust]

You can only play each game 1 per console

They changed it

Used to be able to use it multiple at the same time

They did this for all consoles

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, the big name games are the ones most likely to use them anyways so...

[opaque sedge]

Cdpr usually goes for no drms right?

[nocturne flicker]

My station is dead

Everybody came yesterday for gas

[opaque sedge]

Speaking of dead things

The ac in the house i live in died

[nocturne flicker]

[opaque sedge]

I am getting cooked alive rn

Getting reversed seared like i used to my steaks

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry, tonight I shall compress in handbrake for hours again so we shall both suffer

Theoretically I could turn up my ac but I am on cost saving measures

So no ac

[tranquil pebble]

Do it on a Netburst Celeron

[nocturne flicker]

Uh. No thanks

[fresh timber]

should i get a switch 2

for my birthday

[nocturne flicker]

No

[fresh timber]

that was quick

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[tranquil pebble]

switch 2

[nocturne flicker]

Electric boogaloo

[hoary zodiac]

Switch 2 a pc

[misty sparrow]

did you get the mario kart world bundle

[dense locust]

No

[tranquil pebble]

Things that are better than Switch 2 number idk lol

[misty sparrow]

you got any splitscreen games? i wanna come over and play something

just like early 2000s

[idle nexus]

GoldenEye. Stack. Pistols Only. License to Kill. No Oddjob

[misty sparrow]

[idle nexus]

haha ya

[misty sparrow]

the controls did not age well

games fun but my god

[fresh timber]

what do i ask for my birthday chat

[opaque sedge]

Get an oled monitor instead

[misty sparrow]

what the hell

is this your picture

[opaque sedge]

…

Betrayal

Jk

[fresh timber]

not me

[opaque sedge]

Enjoy it

[fresh timber]

i stole it

im not buying slop2

[opaque sedge]

😭

[misty sparrow]

id do it if the price was cut

[fresh timber]

i looked into it, its not worth, no games, and the games on it.. well i already own on steam

[opaque sedge]

Uh hopefully u didn’t just admit to it publicly

[fresh timber]

i stole the image

[opaque sedge]

And unlike buying it on steam ur locked to only one device technically with the switch

[opaque sedge]

Smooth

[misty sparrow]

I feel like a lot of the games on Switch 2 are games they couldn't port on Switch 1 because it was too weak

and a lot of the firstparty ones are getting released on Switch 1 anyway

[fresh timber]

this was already on sale before the summer sale

[opaque sedge]

Still it doesn’t feel that worth it ngl

Whens the summer sale btw i want to get the yakuza games so bad

[fresh timber]

not even a good deal, i got a key for $17

[misty sparrow]

BO3 is so bad on sales

[fresh timber]

do i

wait i own ark nvm

[misty sparrow]

lmao

but do you own survival ascended?

[fresh timber]

it ooks bad no

this game ran like poop last tie i played

[misty sparrow]

wait wait wait hold on

it got an animated series on paramount+?

https://tenor.com/view/skyviewray-scream-vanish-gif-21914363

[fresh timber]

9060xt is pulling more power than me

[lone mango]

Yeah look at its utilization

[fresh timber]

anything was a good replacment 😭

[misty sparrow]

i know its not necessarily a good card but at least 9060xt beats 5060ti

[lone mango]

I think its pretty good at its launch price

Its faster than my 6700 xt while using the same power

And one 8 pin connector

[misty sparrow]

wdym launch price

is it gonna go up?

[lone mango]

Of course, why not

Everyone will swoop in and take these

A micro center rep told jay that they are selling 4 amd cards for every nvidia card

And amd completely exploded in japan

Lisa su came out and said amd is not used to selling this many graphics cards

[misty sparrow]

are they finally winning

[upper rain]

5060

[lone mango]

I think they were just expecting less sales but got more, so they are out of stock

[upper rain]

they have limited fab capacity and share a node with their CPUs

[lone mango]

Yup

[upper rain]

CPUs sell for a lot more $ per mm^2 of silicon as wel

[lone mango]

So they allocate most of their allocations for ai because tsmc is bricked rn

[fresh timber]

okay chat

[upper rain]

yeah

[fresh timber]

my birthdays in 3 months

what do i put on my list

[upper rain]

enterprise CPU -> enterprise GPU -> client/pro CPU -> client/pro GPU

we are the least profitable market to service with that fab capacity lol

[lone mango]

Intel needs to get out to free up fab space for themselves and everyone else

[fresh timber]

ugh

[upper rain]

they're not using N4 afaik are they?

[lone mango]

Idk pocket it

[fresh timber]

idk what to put on my birthday list besides a better monitor.. and idk if im willing to ask my parents for a $400 monitor

[upper rain]

ig they have some N5 stuff don't they... same fabs usually. idk how that works with same family nodes

does having one family node take away max volume from other nodes in that family, or is it more discrete

[lone mango]

Thats right, their compute die is on n3b and the smaller dies are on other nodes like n5/6

[hoary zodiac]

What about a DS-N5

[lone mango]

Dont fall for it

[upper rain]

n5 is the only one that might be eating away at volume then, since N5/4 share a family. but N6 capacity is free and nobody is really using N3 atm

[fresh timber]

i need to get a new cooler for my NAS , the stock cooler gets too loud for my taste

[hoary zodiac]

Something something thermalright

[fresh timber]

thats what im getting kek

cheapest tower they sell is going on it

[hoary zodiac]

Only the OGs remember the Macho Rev B

[upper rain]

get a 120se for funsies

[fresh timber]

nah

ima get someting cheap

its a 2300x it doesnt need well.. much

[upper rain]

$30 is cheap

[upper rain]

oh fair lol

yeah 120se is a biiiit overkill

[fresh timber]

im only getting a cooler for it for sound

[hoary zodiac]

You can run it passive with a 120se

[upper rain]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

Hell you can probably run it passive with an assassin x

[fresh timber]

i can run massive wiht my 240mm aio

i ran it passivly for a month

[hoary zodiac]

What

[upper rain]

like pump going right

[hoary zodiac]

Excuse moi?

[upper rain]

just no fans

[fresh timber]

i put 240mm aio on it before i had my 2nd pc and ran it passivly no fans

[upper rain]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

🤨

[upper rain]

pump still going tho

[fresh timber]

why is the pump going

[hoary zodiac]

...

[lone mango]

He means pump is working

[fresh timber]

it just moves water

wanna know what that means

ill have a 360mm aio with only lga1700 hw sitting

i kinda loose the hardware

unless i magiclly find the am4 plates

[upper rain]

does it have am4 plates?

a lot of them just use the stock mount + some extra stuff

[fresh timber]

it uses the stock one, im issing the standoffs and bracket

[upper rain]

ahhh

bracket is a problem, standoffs no biggie

[fresh timber]

i only have the intel stuff

[upper rain]

can u 3d print or do you think the strain will be too much for the plastic

[fresh timber]

i can prob 3d print what i need, deepcool uses some weird standoff but nothing a cheap print cant replace

you think i can convice my parents i need a server rack

and a server

[upper rain]

get on govdeals.com and start bidding on skylake servers with terrabytes of ram

[fresh timber]

imagine i won one for cheap

ooo

[upper rain]

i used to know a guy who got one with a couple of off roadmap 48 core CPUs or smth and like 700+ GB of ram for a couple hundred bucks lmfao

[fresh timber]

i really should replace my 500gb hdds with 2tb atleast

i use 4 500gb wd blues

and a 500gb laptop hdd

sad four of these will cost me money

[misty sparrow]

or do two 4TB

[fresh timber]

that would be less storage

i can get slightly more with four 2tb

[misty sparrow]

yeah but

A: you dont break the bank as much
B: you still have room for more storage

[lone mango]

Gpu of death

[fresh timber]

downside, you only can loose 1 hdd

[lone mango]

Gpu of death

[fresh timber]

what happened to it

u got me wanting to uninstall mines

[tranquil pebble]

that looks like power indicator lights

[lone mango]

Yeah im curious on what my igpu can run so I unplugged

Very cool

[tranquil pebble]

what game?

[idle nexus]

not sure you should unplug it but leave it in the PCIe slot

it's still powered by PCIe slot up to like 65w or something no?

[tranquil pebble]

75W

[idle nexus]

ya that lol

[tranquil pebble]

modern cards detect the lack of PCIe power cables and do not run though

[idle nexus]

well nvm then lol

[lone mango]

Yeah its not even on rn

[lone mango]

Drg

[idle nexus]

12900K ran 8000c36 thru 7zip

& here I was thinking 12th gen couldn't do 8k

[tranquil pebble]

and igpu?

[idle nexus]

I really ought to take the 2x24gb mdie out of 13600K & try that

on newegg at least, all the 8400+ XMP kits are 2x24gb

but I think they also have clock driver or whatever so ye

there are 9000 kits on newegg now lol

[lone mango]

All low 20% resolution scale

[idle nexus]

lol exactly

[tranquil pebble]

what igpu is it though?

[lone mango]

The one in my 9600x

[tranquil pebble]

2 graphics cores... yikes... similar spec to my laptop's iGPU

(the laptop also has a 4060M though)

the iGPU struggles with Saints Row IV, so yeah lol

[lone mango]

Im surprised it can run

wtf

[nocturne flicker]

Rock and stone

[tranquil pebble]

it runs SR IV at ultra, but a bit choppy. Is fine on low. Ofc the 4060M makes quick work of the game at any setting.

Want to know what really sucks? Running a VR game on the Intel UHD graphics... or on the e cores.

Literal slideshow

4060m and p cores though and VR is good

[lone mango]

Quick question, is there a way to keep my bios settings after updating bios or will I need to go in and redo everything every time I update

[idle nexus]

sometimes old profile can be loaded if you save them to something external like usb drive but usually they load incompletely or just generally borked
