lol

[royal crow]

What if we just cool our cpus to absolute 0

That way they don't heat up

[lone mango]

quantum computing

[royal crow]

Hmmm

[tacit quiver]

nice new wallpaper from apple

[tranquil pebble]

UIs will return to monochrome

[royal crow]

I wish

[dense locust]

Why this that so bright

[sinful blade]

Zach likes bright stuff

[craggy shoal]

White on LCD = bright

[craggy shoal]

They don't put wrinkles on brains anymore I guess

[dense locust]

It’s kinda blinding me

[sinful blade]

Let’s type more

[craggy shoal]

Would it not be HDR?

[tacit quiver]

that is an HDR video

your ipad has a nice display!

and my iphone has a nice camera

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-old-man-dancing-disco-stepping-step-gif-1787924727892494944

[tacit quiver]

i thought discord kinda ate the HDR part out though

guess not

also lightmode >>>>>

[dense locust]

[craggy shoal]

This guy uses light mode

what

[dense locust]

I didn’t know hdr videos worked on discord

[craggy shoal]

I wish that wasn't the case

Mobile screens shouldn't have HDR imo

or let you turn if off in system settings

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

I'd be fine with light mode if there was a darker shade of white

and the accents were a bit better

[pliant berry]

I think it’s fine, the hdr only really works for hdr coded content. So some of your photos and videos, movies etc

[craggy shoal]

nah

lemme turn it fully off

too many apps don't let you turn it off

[pliant berry]

But why

[misty sparrow]

wouldn't HDR not work outdoors?

[craggy shoal]

Because I'm not trying to blind myself

[pliant berry]

Prob won’t be able to sustain it

[craggy shoal]

HDR still works outdoors

It's just hard to notice it

[tranquil pebble]

fortunately the phone can't just go to 1,000,000,000 nits and burn your entire face off

[worn wave]

The only app I've ever had issues with HDR flashbanging me is Instagram and I know it lets you turn it off

[mental yoke]

sad

WHAT

I LOVE BABYMETAL

[sinful blade]

[grand kernel]

wasn't me

unfortunate though

hope you got it figured out

[mental yoke]

wow orange recommending it twice

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

[nocturne flicker]

Thats what happens every time you jump into a system in Elite Dangerous

The star flashbangs you

[mental yoke]

eve online had some pretty stars

[nocturne flicker]

I tried getting into eve like 7 years ago, it wasn't for me

[mental yoke]

it was good about 16 years ago

[pseudo raven]

putting my 9070 xt to good use

and how terribly is the game optimized lmao

[frigid stag]

Lol

Makes sense

[frigid stag]

It’s really cpu/ ram dependent

That gpu is probably at like 0.2% usage

[pseudo raven]

i have a 5600x and 32gb of ram

not great but we're talking about a 15 year old game

16 actually

[frigid stag]

Well not harder to run but harder to get more fps

[pseudo raven]

ikr

i get double the fps in valorant

[upper wedge]

The gpu shortage is so real for the 9070xts rn

My microcenter hasn’t had a new one except for the 300+ msrp ones for weeks

[fresh timber]

Is the 9070xt good

[pseudo raven]

shortage is real for pretty much everything

i wouldnt pay as much as you paid but

i mean its good yeah

[mental yoke]

What game is hard to run? League?

[pseudo raven]

yes

its not actually hard to run

but its poorly optimized

[mental yoke]

Seems fine to me.

[fresh timber]

He’s running like 500 fps

[mental yoke]

You can play it on integrated graphics

[pseudo raven]

yeah no i run it just fine but

with my settings i should be getting like 500 fps lol

not 150

[mental yoke]

I cap it at 144fps on a mobile rtx 2060

Never dips below 144

[lone mango]

https://youtu.be/CD3CAPErRa4

[slate ice]

Am I gonna have any other problems with this build?

[lone mango]

prob not

[slate ice]

Should I even use this mini tower or is it bad for it to be so cramped?

[grand kernel]

seems fine otherwise

[slate ice]

Airflow fans etc etc

[fresh timber]

I’m swapping to Nvidia bro

I can’t with this

[slate ice]

If I buy a nicer gpu, will it be smaller or bigger than this one?

Cause this one’s a monster

[upper wedge]

I heard the 5060 performs worse than a 3070 💔

[upper wedge]

Also is your screen not working

[pseudo raven]

thats insane lmfao

[fresh timber]

yeah my gpu crashed

i just get black screen

[fresh timber]

@grand kernel im getting blackscreen too

[fresh timber]

im about to reinstall my 7700xt just so i dont crash

[upper wedge]

What is this

[lone mango]

I sent the wrong pic look at 2nd

[pseudo raven]

yeah sounds about right

[upper wedge]

Genuinely insane

[pseudo raven]

30 and 10 series were the last gen with real product segmentation

[lone mango]

10 series is still the best gen in my heart

[pseudo raven]

and 20 series seems better actually

[upper wedge]

Cuda makes the gpu important right.. I’ve been blasted in the face with up scaling, ray tracing, dlss, afmf

[lone mango]

Big perf increases and the gpus were pretty efficient too

[pseudo raven]

i mean upscaling is nice but

it should be a bonus not a replacement

[upper wedge]

@fresh timber what model, plus what were you doing?

[lone mango]

Also what refresh rate

[lone mango]

See thats how it was when it first came out

[upper wedge]

I mean wouldn’t the cuda affect power consumption too?

Or am I just not knowledgeable on this

[mental yoke]

Just think of a cuda core as a CPU core but for a GPU

[pseudo raven]

no one cares about power consumption on desktop

its desktop

[lone mango]

cuda is an api that lets software use gpus for accelerated tasks

[upper wedge]

Ah

[pseudo raven]

cuda is also just what nvidia calls the cores

in gpu

[lone mango]

yeah

[pseudo raven]

amd calls them like

idk

[mental yoke]

In this context, it's cuda cores

[lone mango]

[pseudo raven]

compute units

[lone mango]

Nah those are clusters of shaders

[fresh timber]

playing videogames

[lone mango]

I think they just say shaders

[fresh timber]

240hz

[upper wedge]

Which ones

[fresh timber]

click on my profile

im in ranked i cant type

[upper wedge]

Ah marvel gooners (jk)

[lone mango]

https://tenor.com/view/true-truth-nuke-super-truth-nova-truth-meme-gif-16889273424352737553

so true

[grand kernel]

💀

on 165hz?

[upper wedge]

240hz

[grand kernel]

oh dear

[upper wedge]

I mean I assume he’d be on 1440p

[lone mango]

damn and i said 180 and 240 are king

[upper wedge]

Possible too much power?

[lone mango]

i have been proven wrong

[pseudo raven]

i havent got a single blackscreen

for a while now

[upper wedge]

Well we don’t know if it’s undervolted or OC’d

[lone mango]

I think he on stock

From what I remember he runs stock now

[upper wedge]

Still don’t know model either

Ah

[lone mango]

9070 xt

[upper wedge]

Manufacture model

Not chipset

[pseudo raven]

well we were having blackscreens from running

at 170hz

[lone mango]

Oh I dont think it matters because him and orange have different models

[pseudo raven]

i was earlier as well but i dont think ive really had one in a while

[upper wedge]

Oh wait orange was black screening?

[pseudo raven]

yes

we all were

its something with all 9070xt

[upper wedge]

maybe I shouldn’t buy a 9070xt..

Probably drivers lowkey

[pseudo raven]

good luck finding one

[lone mango]

I wonder if rolling back helps

[pseudo raven]

idk

but its like

0.5s

once a week lol

[lone mango]

Because lowering refersh rate is brutal

[pseudo raven]

not really a big deal

[upper wedge]

Are you guys able to open Adrleain afterwards?

[pseudo raven]

lowering it to 144hz fixes it

[fresh timber]

that sounds like a cope

[upper wedge]

Idk how to spell driver software

[lone mango]

It is

[pseudo raven]

it blackscreens for half a second

and then its as if nothing happens

[lone mango]

Adrenaline but without the last e

[fresh timber]

mines requires i press the reboot button on my pc

[pseudo raven]

idk if thats what happening to him though

ah ok

[fresh timber]

litretly only my gpu

[pseudo raven]

hes special

[upper wedge]

So a flicker?

[lone mango]

You know whats crazy

My brother gets a black screen too recently

[pseudo raven]

well a flicker is when it turns on and off repeatedly

[lone mango]

I told him to ddu and it worked for like one or two weeks

[pseudo raven]

but no it just stays off for a second or two max and then comes back on

[upper wedge]

What if it was called a flick 😭

[pseudo raven]

just a flick

yes

[lone mango]

Now its back

But he has a 6600 xt

[upper wedge]

It’s just AMD

I had a 6650xt with constant PA 300 errors

[lone mango]

I told him to roll back to an older version but he probably wont do it and then will continue complaining

[upper wedge]

Had to either DDU, restart my pc multiple times, or remove the “gpu” from my settings

Otherwise I was running window drivers for display

[fresh timber]

i love how evreyting stock = gpu crap out

if i wanst far id return the gpu and go 5070ti smh

[upper wedge]

Lowkey I’d ship you a 5070ti (if you bought the difference) for the 9070xt

[fresh timber]

wmy 9070xt cost $800 soooo

it was $850 with tax or more i forgot

[misty sparrow]

oh god

did you really pay $850+ for it

[fresh timber]

YUP

[misty sparrow]

return it

that thing is pricey

[mental yoke]

keep it and never let ur love of amd falter

do not be weak

[upper wedge]

Did any of you guys update windows recently @fresh timber @grand kernel @pseudo raven

[grand kernel]

no

[upper wedge]

Ah

[grand kernel]

brand new build

[upper wedge]

Well inconveniently I booted my pc up and bam, I get a flick for 2 seconds, then another one a minute later

[lone mango]

Something I find intriguing is that a lot of 9800x3d deaths come from windows pcs in sleep and restarts

[mental yoke]

i always turn hibernate and sleep crap off

[upper wedge]

It’s the non power hungry cpu getting turned off and on pretty fast

[fresh timber]

wno

[lone mango]

I am a sleep user but I dont use windows

[upper wedge]

I use lock

[fresh timber]

i dont turn my pc off

[upper wedge]

Keeps the pc running n my displays off

[lone mango]

Just turn the pc off lol

[sinful blade]

I do not understand why people don’t just turn it off

It saves money, and most pcs boot in under 10s

[upper wedge]

I have roblox running for afk farming

like some people pay me IRL money for off brand anime characters 💔

[fresh timber]

My Intel pc idles at 200w.. I’m going to burn power for fun

[upper wedge]

Guys. Woot just refunded $200 off my order because I asked them if they could contact MSI themselves about the stalker 2 promotion redemption time frame

holy amazon glaze customer support

[worn wave]

👀

[upper wedge]

Then I have a buyer @ $950

issue is, jawa fees 💔

[fresh timber]

jawa fees

thats why im going to list higher on jawa and lower on local

im increasing price for those fees

[upper wedge]

lowkey what if I asked him to like paypal buyer/seller protection for it

[fresh timber]

did u sell it on jawa

[upper wedge]

Not yet

[fresh timber]

if u sell on jawwa u have to use jawa

[upper wedge]

He asked me like 20 minutes ago if he could get it 950

[fresh timber]

if u sell elswhere u follow their rules lol

[fresh timber]

what specs

[upper wedge]

my 4070ti Super stalker 2 edition

[fresh timber]

im selling a rx6600+5500 pc for $700 jus cause ima pack it with fake lian li fans

[fresh timber]

wow

[upper wedge]

If I drop to 950, I only get paid 836.

I only gain like $150 basically

[fresh timber]

is that really bad tho

[upper wedge]

I mean I could be up 300 dollars

[fresh timber]

also 4070ti super for $950... whats special

[upper wedge]

limited edition + free deluxe edition game

[fresh timber]

oh they just want the special gpu they totatlly couldnt make at home

[upper wedge]

People buy a GPU with a woman on it for an extra $100

whatever gets their neurons pumping

[fresh timber]

true. i wanna get one for a flip

i want

[upper wedge]

7650..?

[fresh timber]

china sepecial

[upper wedge]

also no woman on the back

[fresh timber]

i think its under a 1080ti

[upper wedge]

ah hell no

[fresh timber]

im confused on why this exist

its the same performance as a 7600

[upper wedge]

I mean is that before or after import taxes

[fresh timber]

whats the point of these china exclusive cards

[upper wedge]

cause ali express calculates import tax

if you plugged in your zipcode

a 130 7500f is like 320$

[fresh timber]

i might buy a 3d printer but i don wanna spend $200

Holy moly I’m about to flip

MSI came in clutch with the after the promotion time frame codes

And I got 8 codes technically to redeem? Whatever though I just saved 200$ 😭

[velvet summit]

how does it feel to be closer to 2050 than we are to y2k

we've passed the halfway point of 2025 by a few days

[elfin mural]

i don't feel anything

we're all cooked tho

and it scares me that i'll be able to live to 2050

[paper verge]

bruh what

[elfin mural]

im only 21

i doubt i'd die in 2050

[icy ore]

Shoot at least one of us is confident

[paper verge]

you're ok, the only one that should be concerned with age is motor

[lone mango]

I am 21 too

[upper wedge]

We ain’t making it past 30

What I ain’t making past though is my decisions

650$ 7900xtx, 750$ 9070xt (after tax), $860 4080S (after tax), or $850 5070 ti (after tax)

[pseudo raven]

the new control center looks so

crazy

too cluttered imo

glass looks really cool though

watch all the chinese android skins copy in a few months

[dense locust]

wtf is it cooling?

Maybe I’ll be cooler when my disappointment hits

[fresh timber]

Hi

[tranquil pebble]

3,050 reasons the card sucks

[fresh timber]

3,050

[dense locust]

“We made the text illegible, come again next year”

[fresh timber]

3050 🙂‍↔️ 3,050 🤘🤘

[fresh timber]

Looks legible to me

Get better eyes

[tranquil pebble]

probably made for overclocking

[fresh timber]

Who’s overclocking a 3050

[dense locust]

People who can’t afford to buy a 3060+

[fresh timber]

They don’t need a pc

[tranquil pebble]

if it exists someone will try to overclock it

[dense locust]

People have overclocked the og switch so yes

[tranquil pebble]

people have probably overclocked a Cisco switch

[elfin mural]

i like the ios glass

pls everyone, copy it

im nostalgic but windows 7 glass was great

but why apple named their os 26 is..

why?

i seriously wanna know lmao

[opaque sedge]

Wait they finally made smth new?!

Gosh its been decades…

[craggy shoal]

26 because of 2026

I didn't know people asked that genuinely

[opaque sedge]

Thats… kinda corny ngl

[craggy shoal]

You're corny

yo mamma

[opaque sedge]

…

[craggy shoal]

Man I’m already seeing people complain about the new iOS beta. Beta. Beta. Beta. Beta

Beta

It's a beta btw

Betas have issues

Beta

[elfin mural]

i know it's for 2026

but it just doesn't make sense to me

like how samsung jumped from s10 to s20

[craggy shoal]

I swear if it's not Android nutters saying iOS is bad, it's the iOS beta users

[elfin mural]

i want apple even if repairability is questionable

at least there's a ton of parts since it's iphone

even years later, there's good aftermarket parts for even iphone 11

[craggy shoal]

We'll get used to it by the time they release the iPhone 18. The same went for going from GTX 1000 to RTX 2000

[elfin mural]

fair enough

just another naming to get used to

[craggy shoal]

I get that complaints are inevitable, but I don't get the hate over all of it

[elfin mural]

same

i don't hate it myself

[craggy shoal]

Like it's just a glass UI that's more about transparent backgrounds. The UI looks nothing like Windows Vista/7. and even then, why complain? I thought we loved Windows 7

[elfin mural]

just confused

any glass designs is good for me (im nostalgic as hell)

[craggy shoal]

I just like out it looks

[elfin mural]

and i think apple does it right

looks like frosted glass, smooth protuding edges

[hoary zodiac]

Honestly better than the crappy corporate oversimplified crap aesthetics

[elfin mural]

it looks like a glass table

and im all for that

i hate minimalistic designs with a passion

[craggy shoal]

BRO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING

[hoary zodiac]

Windows 7 my beloved

I should probably make my UI more glossy for the memes

[elfin mural]

minimalistic design honestly

just feel cheap

[craggy shoal]

Everybody: we don't like flat

Apple: okay. Given that everybody copies us, we'll change it up a bit

Everybody: tf is this dumpster fire

[elfin mural]

because it probably is cheap

[hoary zodiac]

My UI looks kinda bland ngl

[craggy shoal]

Nah I like it

[elfin mural]

if you don't want horrible ux design, avoid vivo at all costs

settings icon is an app icon

[craggy shoal]

Tbh I wish Apple took notes from some Linux distros though

[elfin mural]

there's no settings icon in the qs tiles

[hoary zodiac]

What apple should do

Is allow customisation

[craggy shoal]

I love how the desktop version of Bazzite OS feels (sounds and looks)

[hoary zodiac]

That's the biggest advantage Linux DEs have

They're hella customisable

[elfin mural]

i lowkey enjoy windows 11's ui

but it's so inconsistent

[hoary zodiac]

See

When Win 11 dropped

I've been using linux for several years

So when I first used the UI

I was like

"oh look they added Linux features"

[elfin mural]

why won't ms just fully replace control panel

[craggy shoal]

True but if me customization like on the same level as Linux, you'd have a lot of iOS normies complaining when they break something (I'd imagine)

[elfin mural]

jesus

[hoary zodiac]

Because they're a multi million dollar company

They just want your data

They don't care about ux

[craggy shoal]

Trillion*

[hoary zodiac]

Skill issue tbh

Can't even click a reset button

[craggy shoal]

That’s why I miss jailbreaking 🫠

[hoary zodiac]

I'd unironically buy MacOS

[elfin mural]

with how little android offers now

im unironically liking ios

[hoary zodiac]

Android is pretty mid tbh

[elfin mural]

i hate iphone 16e tho

looks like a joke of a phone for 699

[hoary zodiac]

It's not barebones enough

And the bloat it does have

[elfin mural]

and im spoiled by high refresh

[hoary zodiac]

Half of it is pretty useless

[elfin mural]

so 60hz will not do

if i want a small iphone i'd have to get a 16 pro

which is so expensive

[hoary zodiac]

Meanwhile

I just get the cheapest phone

With a decent SoC

There's just no point really

[elfin mural]

i want smaller screens so badly

[hoary zodiac]

The only thing I'm looking for is battery life

Cameras are a joke on mobile

[elfin mural]

6.4 inches of my current phone is annoying to use one handed

[craggy shoal]

imo phones don't need 120Hz. I don't buy a phone to play games and I don't see another reason to use 120Hz. It just drains battery for me

[elfin mural]

i don't see why not :p

[craggy shoal]

I NEED TO SCROLL THROUGH TIKTOK BRAINROT IN 120Hz

[elfin mural]

with how large batteries are growing

[hoary zodiac]

My brain don't really care that much about 120Hz

I am unironically saying this

[elfin mural]

them chinese phones are cramming in 7000 mah batts

silicon carbon tech

[hoary zodiac]

I do not see the difference between 60Hz and 144Hz most of the time

That may be because of my brain just not caring

[craggy shoal]

I mean I guess everything else is moving to 120Hz

[hoary zodiac]

Or literally none of the things I do needing high refresh rate

[elfin mural]

i don't even mind 90hz, it's good

[hoary zodiac]

I cranked Minecraft to 90Hz I guess

[elfin mural]

but 60hz just feels slow to me

[hoary zodiac]

But I don't even notice it

[elfin mural]

all my devices are at least 120hz

i kinda hate using my laptop on battery cuz it's locked to 60hz

[hoary zodiac]

I'm just one of those people that just can't appreciate high refresh rate

I have absolutely zero need for it

My brain doesn't seem to care

[elfin mural]

if you can't appreciate high refresh, ur lucky ngl

cuz that means you can buy anything lmao

[hoary zodiac]

And the games I do aren't really the type to need quick reflexes

So there is zero incentive for me to go above 60Hz

Occasionally when I play a FPS game I might crank up the refresh rate

But that's like

Never

[elfin mural]

high refresh for me is a must

it increases fluidity to me

[hoary zodiac]

I only start noticing below 60

[elfin mural]

in day to day task and everything else

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe I do subconsciously notice 90Hz

[elfin mural]

ngl

[hoary zodiac]

But like

[elfin mural]

in a few years

[hoary zodiac]

Not big enough of a difference unless it's over a very long period of time

And I get headaches

[elfin mural]

i may lowkey get an oled laptop

[hoary zodiac]

Same

I don't need the refresh rate so

[elfin mural]

by then oled would be more common

[hoary zodiac]

Tho I don't think anyone is gonna make 90Hz oled gaming laptops

It's all going to be 120 and expensive as hell

Especially with the price bracket I usually aim for

Although since it's OLED

Maybe someone will make a 60Hz version

Tho I can't imagine that being a rational product

As a gaming laptop

[elfin mural]

in china there's 5090 mods that gives it 48gb

3gb gddr7 samsung modules are now available for anyone to buy

[slate fractal]

you guys see that guy who mods old gpus and doubles their vram

[remote geode]

yeah, seen it

[icy ore]

Need

I think my 9900k might be crapping the bed finally smh

Only been 5 years smh

[tranquil pebble]

honestly even 70 Hz is a noticeable improvement over 60

[paper verge]

thats an interesting take

i honestly dont see any diff between 75 and 60

its good to note my eyes suck aswell but still

[mental yoke]

why would anyone even want this

oh i was way scrolled up

[mental yoke]

what lol?

[cursive oasis]

Do refresh rates over 240 even matter?

[mental yoke]

only if your eyes are real

[cursive oasis]

Ive been seeing monitors getting to 480 and even higher then that

Like, is there a point where even the most dedicated monitor fans wouldn't notice a difference

[mental yoke]

ive got a 360hz panel and i prefer resolution over refresh rate usually

also why i have 8k

[viral heron]

anyone familiar with equalizer apo

does it need to be open 24/7?

[wary fjord]

no

if u talking about client

no

it runs at the background it has its own service

u only open client if u want to change something

[elfin mural]

in china

[wary fjord]

on eyes no.. on reaction time yes it can compensate a skill issue just tiny bit xD

it wont still get you a chicken dinner tho

some people are rrealy just good gamers must be nice even they playing at 60hz and 250hz pooling mouse on a cafe shop they still hitting the shots

[solemn galleon]

480 and above would probably be that range in theory. Whether it matters to your gameplay or not is a different topic

[wary fjord]

the only whoa factor is when u using 60hz your whole life then u got 144 and above

everything is so smooth hehe

[solemn galleon]

Yeah that was my reaction when I first switched

Always thought framerate was a gimmick before

[wary fjord]

some monitor so fast.. on their screen you already on their crosshair

visually

so they can click faster than slow monitor one

[solemn galleon]

On 60hz you're pretty much always 17ms behind

[wary fjord]

yeah

isnt it 16

[solemn galleon]

16.67

[wary fjord]

ah round up

[solemn galleon]

If you look at it from that perspective, the advantages for higher refresh rates becomes easier to understand

480hz is ~2ms per frame

[wary fjord]

https://www.tomshardware.com/monitors/gaming-monitors/tcl-demonstrates-4k-gaming-monitor-with-a-1000-hz-refresh-rate

deym what gpu can reach that

[dusk knot]

But is it OLED?

[upper wedge]

It says LED sadly

[elfin mural]

480hz oled is better than 1000hz led

[dusk knot]

Truth

[elfin mural]

fps is not all there is to a display tbh

[dusk knot]

Yep

[elfin mural]

response time of oled is unmatched

[upper wedge]

Plus it’s probably not going to be any clean to have a 1000hz 4k monitor over any oled tbh, it’ll probably be really choppy

[dusk knot]

The 480hz OLED should appear smoother than a 1khz LED

[upper wedge]

Unless you have an absurd amount of 5090s

[elfin mural]

it'll be ghosting

even if you have a good gpu

like a future gpu a few years later

[upper wedge]

True, the 9090ti super

[dusk knot]

The amount of power, dear lord

Still would struggle with a mid UE5 game with mid graphics from 2016 lol

[frigid stag]

You need like a 2060 or 1060 to run that monitor

It’s for esports games

High refresh was never meant for single player

[upper wedge]

Nah the 9090ti super will only consume 5 watts of power

[elfin mural]

this is 4k tho

idk if a 2060 can hit 1000 fps at 4k

[upper wedge]

With the amount of upscaling, RT, and probably DLSS 10

[frigid stag]

I meant the 480hz one

[elfin mural]

yeah that's doable

480hz at 1080p

easy

[fresh nova]

Guys

I’m at the airport

[tranquil pebble]

maybe in Minecraft with Sodium and render distance set to minimum with all effects disabled

and an 8x texture pack

[tranquil pebble]

120 hz Persona 5 still goes hard though

[upper wedge]

They won’t know what’ll hit em 🤫🤫

[frigid stag]

Ye I mean these days it’s more doable

[fresh nova]

What if I want them…wait

[tranquil pebble]

[upper wedge]

I remember playing persona 5 on the first edition of a switch

It was so choppy

[fresh nova]

[tranquil pebble]

P5 on PS3 was pretty smooth so why would it be choppy on Switch?

[fresh nova]

[sharp charm]

Great news,I finally upgraded from my potato pc to a steam deck

Plus I can emulate Windwaker HD so I have another reason to not get a switch 2

[upper rain]

nice, enjoy

i want to play through the Skyward Sword switch remake. i found the motion controls really clunky on the original Wii and never got very far into it because of it

[sharp charm]

I have a wii and a wii u so I personally would go get the original game

But HD remakes are nice too

I think the only way nintendo could sell me the switch 2 is if they brought back f zero,but even then I probably wouldn't buy

I wish my bro would turn off parental controls on my steam account, cause it blocks me from accessing some stuff like some steam workshops

[sinful blade]

Proud of you

What was your potato

[sharp charm]

Some hp it had like 4 gb of ram and an Intel celeron

Struggled to run bedrock mc

[sinful blade]

Ew

[sharp charm]

I know,I have a job now so I should actually be able to afford stuff

But I'm happy with what I have rn

I just want a vr headset to play simpleplanes vr

[frigid stag]

It just crashed when I didn’t cap the game fps

I had to cap it at around 60 and now it’s chilling. I wanted to play the game so I had to

[upper rain]

weird

are you still running funky XOC bios or a normal one?

[frigid stag]

Nah I always ran the normal one

It’s like 300 something watt power limit on the normal bios on this card

[upper rain]

ah

[rigid sinew]

good morning 😦

[upper rain]

hmm

[upper rain]

why the frown

[rigid sinew]

i had to get spacers for my braces and my teeth hurt so much 😦

[upper rain]

ouch

[rigid sinew]

i never shouldve done braces

[upper rain]

what are the other options? i thought you just got braces or you didn't

[rigid sinew]

i got them in october but i didnt need them to fix my teeth, it was either braces or surgery so i did braces

[upper rain]

ah i see

[rigid sinew]

but this pain sucks 😦

[rigid sinew]

bc of work ??!?!?!

[upper rain]

he just goes for the cavity searches

doesn't even board the flights

[upper wedge]

Either this might be the greatest flip of all time or really really sus.

[upper rain]

if it's local just arrange to see the system working before sale

if it's shipped then it's a scam

never buy shipped stuff on FBM

[upper wedge]

Sadly it is shipped through fbm, it’s through some pc group.

I did do a “background check” on this guy though, where he lives checks out

Just I don’t want to fall for the brick inside a gpu box 🙏

[upper rain]

yeah absolutely not lol, there is no recourse on shipped items on FBM

i would never buy anything shipped on that platform

[upper wedge]

I mean even if it went through PayPal & UPS?

[upper rain]

paypal might cover you i guess

still it's not something i would do personally

[upper wedge]

I’m still debating it personally

[wary fjord]

u need bring a car with a pc

and test it

Facebook is just low ball hell now

[upper wedge]

He doesn’t live same state

[upper wedge]

I had an immediate offer of $450 on my 7800xt, after lowering the price from 550 to 515 😭

[rancid juniper]

eBay is full of lowballers too

[upper rain]

tbf that's what they solde for new for a while. these days i think even used they sell for higher tho :/

[upper wedge]

Ya that’s what I’m kinda going for atm

Since the tariffs, the 7800xt brand new is like 600-700, used is from 500-550

I got it brand new during 2023 for about 500$

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind as stock dries up prices will rise.

[paper verge]

bro had this guy telling me a whole story about how hes a teacher and i should give him $200 bucks off

Lol I figured

Nah I fixed it

[upper rain]

glad to hear it lol

[copper fable]

It looks quite sharp but the lenses are meh like

They are so sharp when I look at the direction I want

[upper rain]

oh really? i thought the G2 had pretty good lenses as far as fresnels go

[copper fable]

The sweet spot

Noo it is quite good

I mean

In the edges

[upper rain]

hard to compete with pancakes tho. it;s a shame the quest 3 still relies on USB 3 for PCVR, otherwise it would be killer. the compression is kinda meh tho

[copper fable]

No but like the quest 2 uses them too and it looks better in the edges

[upper rain]

hmm interesting

[copper fable]

A bit better

Of course it's not pancake lenses

But I mean the sweet spot is good but it's not good when looking at the edges

I would say it's better than the Quest 2

And yeah text is very easy to read

The thing I hate about it is that there is no dial so it doesn't sit as tight on the head

Got it today by the way

Pretty impressed but sad at the same time cause I can't really use it

I need prescription lenses

147$ used

In a very good condition

I'm looking to buy new replacement skates for my G604. Anybody got any recommendations? I am just after low friction for a reasonable price, if possible

[frigid stag]

Gas prices are ironically lower

Probably some old tweet

[copper fable]

Yeah HTC have tried that approach but their headset wasn't pancake...

They have Hybrid headsets

[copper fable]

The first thing I could notice other than the graphics is the input lag, it was very smooth and didn't have lag spikes like with the Quest 2, and don't get me wrong, I've got a pretty good internet with a pretty good upload and download speed...

I assume it has to do more with the router and upload speed

this one's a lil cheaper

for the same performance

actually faster cpu

[cerulean nexus]

Thanks. I just don't really know AMD as well as Nvidia, I rely on the internet for anything AMD

[elfin mural]

amd is fine gpu wise nowadays

shouldn't give you too many driver issues

is this a gaming pc btw?

if so, the i9 is slower in this regard

[cerulean nexus]

Yes

[elfin mural]

yep

the one from sky tech will do then

[frigid stag]

The i9s faster

Worst case it’s the same with better 1% lows

[lone mango]

The i9 with 6000 will not be

I mean there are some outliers that dont benefit from vcache but thats usually not the case

Speaking of case

[atomic current]

Is nr200 popular now

Every time I look at this server I see nr200

[potent dune]

gang there's an LED on my mobo which shines red whenever pc is on, it's near the front panel header and it's been like that since I built my pc but everything runs fine

That's the "everything's fine" light

[worn wave]

it was on sale for $60

but real ones know that the sama IM01 >>>

[atomic current]

Do you know the model board?

[potent dune]

let me check the box

[atomic current]

[potent dune]

kk

[atomic current]

so I guess something's going wrong with something going wrong with the gpu

it thinks it's not working when it's working

maybe

[potent dune]

should I take it out and put it back in?

because my system detects it always

wouldn't hurt to try I think

it just let's me overclock my gpu and sheet right?

hard drive

[potent dune]

that's a pretty hard drive there.

Memory integrity doesn't block that, you can oc stuff through MSI afterburner, throttle stop, amd adrenalin, or bios

basically software for my mobo

lets me update all my drivers etc from it too

[rancid juniper]

Sounds like something every other motherboard maker does

[potent dune]

should I stress test my pc fr

adrenalin let's me do it right?

using ryzen mastee

master

temperature got up to like 73 or something like that degrees

70 to 75 but mainly 73

[mental yoke]

dude wtf.

i needed to pack

the party poppers 🎉

[mental yoke]

i dunno why furmark is my goto but prolly cus u can do them super micros or whatever

also benchmarking and stress testing are two wholly different things

[dusk knot]

Hard drive

I don't see what's wrong with that post. It is indeed a solid construction that is hard to the touch and it does drive graphics.

[lone mango]

some matx can fit in nr200 believe it or not

[worn wave]

oh I thought it was itx only

[lone mango]

For the most part yeah

But there are matx builds in the nr200

[craggy shoal]

I got the NR200P V2 so I could fit a chonky GPU

I still haven't gotten photos of the build yet

[fresh timber]

Should

I

[lone mango]

If it can fit

sure

[fresh timber]

Idm can it

Idk

[lone mango]

Not all of them but they can

You also have to mount the psu to the side

That is one of the more compact matx boards

That board has a more traditional size

[atomic current]

they should make three slotters

more of them

my Lenovo rot computer is a 3 slotter

[lone mango]

He had to cut the bottom

[lone mango]

I think meshroom d has three as well

[atomic current]

wish there were more 3 slot boards

no that's my motherboard

my gpu is asus

[fresh timber]

Oh.. and guess what.. the small MATX I have is broken 😦

[lone mango]

Best bet is to get some used itx board in case you want to get anything even smaller

Imo you should get meshroom d

[fresh timber]

Idk what I wanna do after I sell this pc

Itx MATX atx

I’m ngl I think MATX saves shipping cost

Oh yeah

Intel boost which is basically a safe memory controller oc

Then 8000 ddr5

Then oc the cpu

[mental yoke]

gib moneez

[cedar compass]

idk why ultra series got that much hate but it's actually good lol

I mean still have good single core , and great multicore with OCable E cores

[fresh timber]

because ryzen is unforuntly better

you get 9950x33d 9950x3d and u dont have to swap motherboards after a single generation

i think the not having to swap motherboards part is a big one

[cedar compass]

ultra is usually cheaper and better performance honestly . yeah if you add those gaming cpus yeah amd wins

[fresh timber]

they are CHEAPER?

oh

eh not really

285k and 9950x3d cost around the same going off amazon

nvm scam listing

9900x3d cost the same ish

which obviously is slower

[cedar compass]

currently 9900x is 370$ while 265k is 300$ with free aio . 265k slight better single core and 9900x have slight better multicore ( which intel can pass it with slight OC on E cores )

[fresh timber]

9900x sucks anyways id rather that intel over it

i aint using a 6+6 ccd

[cedar compass]

but if you add mobo prices yeah they getting for same price. but you can find z890 mobos for 130$ at ebay so not best

[fresh timber]

atleast with ryzen u could get something like a b650 and still oc ur 9950x3d

the platform costt on ryzen goin end up less

[cedar compass]

yeah intel mobos are usually expensive but currenly ebay floated with cheap z890s ( thanks to newegg combos )

[fresh timber]

id rather go lga1700 unforutnly persoanlly

14900k 👅

[royal crow]

Can we get a wegg server tag

[fresh timber]

oh look a 265k user

[cedar compass]

z890 aorus elite is for 130-140$ at ebay currently

[fresh timber]

hello so, can we intreview you

[royal crow]

🤫

[fresh timber]

the value dropped and this platform isnt even old

[royal crow]

Sure

[fresh timber]

do u enjoy your intel cpu sir

[royal crow]

Hell yeah

[fresh timber]

do you regret not getting a AMD one

[royal crow]

A bit

[cedar compass]

yeah demand and newegg combo with those boards made it lol . thats why I building with 265k mostly . its currently one of best value for multirole PC

[royal crow]

Intel xe is the best igpu I've ever seen tho

[fresh timber]

intel has better igpus than AMD unfortunly

[royal crow]

RT perf is good enough for fairly fast blender renders

[fresh timber]

why ru going radeon

you sound like nvidi would be better

[royal crow]

20gb vram at $680

[fresh timber]

would u not benfit more from nvidia if ur using blender

[royal crow]

I won't need the rt as much, not gonna be gaming with it

[cedar compass]

I still hanging out with my 4090 . still waiting for white strix 5090 desperately

[cedar compass]

for blender nvidia is bae

[fresh timber]

i suffer with AMD

[cedar compass]

6950xt were performing worse like 4060

[royal crow]

If I'm being honest I'm gonna mostly use it for Minecraft and rivals

And a couple other things but nothing really rt heavy

[cedar compass]

I using my gpu for fashion design lol

[fresh timber]

rivals runs?

[royal crow]

What?

[cedar compass]

I do fashion design lol 2d and 3d modelling , CAD , photo video editing idk everything is involved in this stupid process

for that workload nvidia is bae

[fresh timber]

im assuming marvel rivals

im suprised the IGPu runs it
