[chrome mirage]

You can find a good 900W UPS for $320 Canadian

[tranquil pebble]

Xbox should add Doom Slayer as a Forza outfit ngl

[icy ore]

yeah isnt he in the new tony hawks pro skater lol

[mental yoke]

Forza is dead. Ripperoni

[chrome mirage]

It's been bad for a while anyways. I didn't like horizon 5 or the newest motorsport game.

[mental yoke]

Well those are the latest in their respective entries

[chrome mirage]

I think horizon 4 was worse than 3 as well

[mental yoke]

But, I don't see them improving on the motorsport series after how hyped 8 was and how bad it ended up being

Horizon will remain the same slot machine trash

[chrome mirage]

I'm glad I have a backup of horizon 1 on a hard drive so I can play it on my 360 even if the console's hard drive dies

I should try and find a disk version of it because it's my favorite forza game

[mental yoke]

If there's a game im going to go through the trouble of trying to replay, its Gran Turismo 4

[elfin mural]

i emulated that exact game

[lone mango]

the feeling of despair when gran turismo 5 went offline

[sinful blade]

You rn

[wary fjord]

Just playing cs go alone

22/32 ram? The hell

Or 22 is free mem not usage?

[fresh timber]

Oh no I’m using 22

I give 0 shots on how much ram my desktop uses

If my games run I’m happy

When 32 isn’t enough I’ll buy 64

[sinful blade]

I’m still on 16

[fresh timber]

Sorry

I know that’s not enough too

16gb is enough for my laptop after a reinstall

The stock windows install was bloated to hell

[wary fjord]

He probably background apps xD

[fresh timber]

I’m littlerry doing hella stuff on my laptop now and it’s not complaining

I want a oled portable monitor for it

[lone mango]

Bruh

[fresh timber]

Lmfao

Gimmie a usbc one that gets power from the laptop

I’ll use it in class as main display

I want egpu, portable monitor, uhh thunderbolt dock

[craggy shoal]

Man you really want the TikTok Special

[lone mango]

spoiled ass

[craggy shoal]

idk man a whole setup with properly mounted monitors and a whole computer on the side looks much more impressive than a laptop and a tiny monitor that sits on the floor of your desk

[fresh timber]

But I already have the first setup

[frosty sinew]

ok undervolt is stable

less power more performance

[wary fjord]

nc

[wraith fern]

yo wtf

i cleaned my case and now my cpu is idling 10c cooler

[half gale]

I love that my pc sometimes doesnt turn on when I push the power button so I tap the sides and it turns on ❤️

Too busy to fix it

[random osprey]

just how much dust was in your case

[wary fjord]

https://youtube.com/shorts/RdHYX_9u52A?si=nge5h_ld5OZfmCBQ

Hmm interesting.. i wonder if its comfortable

[half gale]

My windows 7 coughs in pain

[frosty sinew]

fr

cpu is a beast

[fresh timber]

Free

[wary fjord]

Sometimes it do be like that xD mine too won't start unless i slowly push it down

[half gale]

For me its near the RAM it loves those pressed

Dont know why

[wary fjord]

Its nice my sister cant use it

[half gale]

Checked the connections everything's fine

[wraith fern]

not that much!!

[wary fjord]

No one knows at home how to start my pc

[wraith fern]

well it might also be that i moved a fan from blowing hot air from my psu into my gpu to be actually useful

[half gale]

Its incredibly good

[wraith fern]

i also ordered 2 more fans

now i'll have 11 total

seems like a lot

[half gale]

Start doing a dark web site and when the fbi confiscate your pc, they cant start it

Win win

[wary fjord]

Yeah

[half gale]

(Jokes btw)

[wraith fern]

thanks i couldnt tell

[half gale]

Ay some people cant

[wary fjord]

The 10 fan i clean.. using just big brush xD took me 30 mins for all 10 fans.. 5 years they all still spinning well

[half gale]

Ngl

My grandma's windows 7 was worse

Idk how

[wraith fern]

mine are about 2yrs old and theyre all doing fine

[half gale]

I decided to take it all apart just to completely clean

[wraith fern]

getting some more, theyre definitely cheap fans but i dont care

im not paying 35 bucks a fan for noctua when i could get 7 dollar fans that do the job almost as well

[wary fjord]

Yeah mine cheap too

[wraith fern]

i have some decent ones that came with my case and aio but the other ones are cheap generic fans and the others i got from a coolermaster aircooler in 2021

[wary fjord]

I think i bough 10 fans for 50 bucks

And the config is mid

Fan Speed: 1000-2000 RPM ±10%
Airflow: 72 CFM

Good enough

[wraith fern]

@wary fjord i got thermalright c12s argb 1550rpm 💀

1550 is trash now that im thinking about it

i think my others will do at least 2000 or maybe more like 3

[fresh timber]

tomieai

[wary fjord]

good enough.. aslong its 1.5k

[fresh timber]

ai chat

[wary fjord]

• u mot gonna run that fan at 2k at constant anyway xD

Unless its trying hard to push out the hot air out

1.5 is enough imo

[dusk knot]

Hello, fellow earthlings

[remote geode]

just pull the fans out

XD

[fresh timber]

im a from Venus

[dusk knot]

Hmmmm

[dusk knot]

Oh my god…..why rooomba

[half gale]

Where's this roomba i can buy at my local store

[olive plaza]

hello fellow eggs

[wraith fern]

yeah i know but if it cant run past 1500rpm it doesnt really indicate quality 😂

[half gale]

Eggy

[sinful blade]

Yes

[dusk knot]

[fresh timber]

weggers

we are weggers here

[arctic lily]

the hard w

[fresh timber]

eggies

unironcily if i had a capturecard id use my laptop

[sinful blade]

I added two more @dusk knot

[dusk knot]

I do see them

Oh these. I like them

[wary fjord]

Its all about cfm xD how good it is on pushing air hehe

[wary fjord]

Why it looks bedrock now

nvm Microsoft bought it anyway

[wraith fern]

prolly not good

@wary fjord 66.2cfm

[frosty sinew]

alr

played some games on undervolt

stable

[wary fjord]

We need to ask @idle nexus if thats good xD

[wraith fern]

seems to be decent

[frosty sinew]

and i didnt realize how much cpu had to do with fps

[wraith fern]

found an artic p12 that only gets 56cfm

[frosty sinew]

like 2x in most of the gamnes

same gpu

[wraith fern]

what matters more is whatever bottlenecks

[frosty sinew]

that may also be the ddr 5

[wraith fern]

@wary fjord A good CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) for a 120mm fan generally falls in the range of:

40–70 CFM for a balanced or quiet fan

70–100+ CFM for a high-performance or high-speed fan

sooo its seems like 66cfm is fine

[frosty sinew]

always will be a bottlneck

[frosty sinew]

prob

i like around 75 for rads

[wraith fern]

i dont know what mine is

i dont even think i could buy mine anymore

[frosty sinew]

buy what

[wraith fern]

my aio

[frosty sinew]

ah

[wraith fern]

mine get 62cfm

but theyre also 28db, theyre actually quite quality fans

[frosty sinew]

what brand

[wraith fern]

deepcool

[wary fjord]

40cfm + 2k rpm.. hot air probably just spinning on the middle until it decided to go out xD.. you have oven now

[wraith fern]

lol

[frosty sinew]

yeah i like deepcool fans

[wraith fern]

i like deepcool

i have an ls720

but i think theyre sanctioned in the us rn 🔥

[frosty sinew]

i switched to corsair tho cuz my case and stuff had to match

[wary fjord]

Artic fan and Noctua fan are nice..

Theres black edition of noctua now btw

[wraith fern]

noctua are overhyped!!

[frosty sinew]

chonk rad

[frosty sinew]

nah

[wary fjord]

True

[wraith fern]

yeah it doesnt really fit in my case

[frosty sinew]

noctua prob best brand

[wary fjord]

My LT720 also have chonky rad

[wraith fern]

anyways its great because my 12700k idles at 28c

[frosty sinew]

my corsair one is small

[wraith fern]

i would probably get another aio

theyre really easy

and come with fans

[frosty sinew]

im idling at 46 lol

[wraith fern]

my gpu idles at 40

[frosty sinew]

tbf thats 65w

[wraith fern]

cpu at 30ish

[wary fjord]

Thats fine .. depends on your fan curve

[frosty sinew]

they are all slow until its a load

and the pump ramps up before everythign else

[wary fjord]

And inner house temp

It should be +7 ~ +10 delta

Above room temp

[wraith fern]

my pump isnt plugged into the pump header so i have NO idea what it is at

im going to assume its the one that has the lowest max rpm]

[remote geode]

meow

[wraith fern]

i should dial it in more

[frosty sinew]

nah pumps typically higher

[wary fjord]

Pump always run 100% i think

Should be

[remote geode]

I know there's a Chinese noctua knock-off that I've been meaning to buy for a while now... I just forgot the name

[wraith fern]

ill have to figure out which one is the pump fan

[wary fjord]

I dont think u should put curve on a pump xD

[wraith fern]

it doesnt matter

my cpu never gets past 45

[wary fjord]

Thats great

[wraith fern]

well it got to 60 today, thats the hottest its gotten since ive gotten it

i was having issues and usage was hitting 100%

lmao!

[wary fjord]

Understress at cinebench it should not reach above 75c

[wraith fern]

ok ill reset my pc and plug my aio pump into the actual aio pump

🔥 then ill go into bios

[frosty sinew]

ok shorter bracket designed

[wary fjord]

Your aio pump should be under your cpu or maybe thats not universal

[wraith fern]

my pc boots too fast to boot into bios so i need to set it to boot into bios in the windows settings

[frosty sinew]

i will cut out of poly carb tommorow

[wraith fern]

mine is above my cpu

[wary fjord]

I have extra cpu and fan pump below the cpu

[wraith fern]

its top right

[wary fjord]

Ah i see

[wraith fern]

anyways ill figure it out

[wary fjord]

China always has carbon copy of something xD

Patent whats that??

Sometimes they did it even better than original

But sometimes they cut corner

And it end up on temu

i have no idea what’s broken it won’t move

i don’t want to take my gpu out…

[deep parcel]

Just found out that amazon is scalping pokemon cards

[wraith fern]

@wary fjord my cpu just hit 24c

dang thats colder than my room 💀

[wary fjord]

Yeah thats better

[fresh timber]

rate my game

[wary fjord]

I dont know xD i play "the finals" and valorant and cs.. this type of games like overwatch tickles my brain

Its marvel stuff right?

Why you get 45% accuracy

I think its great good KD

[fresh timber]

43 to 8

[wary fjord]

Should make a frag video out of it

[nocturne flicker]

Amazon, the third biggest online retailer in the world, scalping? Shocked, absolutely shocked

[fresh timber]

whos second?

[nocturne flicker]

The first and second are two of the Chinese ones

Taobao and Tmall

[fresh timber]

nonames

[nocturne flicker]

They are Chinese exclusive

Taobao and Tmall are also owned by Alibaba

[fresh timber]

wwhy do they need two

[olive plaza]

Just to make sure I'm understanding this right. Is the $59.99 price from the official Pokemon Center website an exclusive price because they're literally The Pokemon Company? or

[nocturne flicker]

Tmall is business to consumer, Taobao is consumer to consumer

Different types of platforms

[olive plaza]

I'm just asking because for other products (not even just Pokemon) there have been times where there's a particular store exclusive price

[deep parcel]

price should be $60

[olive plaza]

As an example from recent memory, the RX 9070 and 9070 XT launch. Only Micro Center had MSRP cards in the US

I just want to make sure we're using the word "scalping" correctly here because bad price =/= scalping. Which is a difficult argument to make without sound like a scalper

but scalping is when someone goes and buys up all the stock of something and then resells it at a big markup

idk if that term applies to stores

I think it's just a bad price

[fresh timber]

im a scalper on amazook

[olive plaza]

granted third party sellers are a whole other story

they can be scalpers

[fresh timber]

scalp

ima scalp dough

[olive plaza]

I just am not familiar with the background of how pricing works for distribution on pokemon cards, but I can tell you that distributors for GPUs like D&H, ASI, they were experiencing higher prices

[fresh timber]

ooo

[olive plaza]

So when you'd walk into micro center and see a 9070XT at $729

[lone mango]

Upgrade tomorrow

[olive plaza]

it wasn't because they were scalping. They were being charged more by the distributor

[fresh timber]

take a loss like intel 🗯️

[lone mango]

[olive plaza]

granted it's still a crappy price

[fresh timber]

oooo stuff

[nocturne flicker]

In otherwords Tmall is Chinese Amazon and Taobao is Chinese eBay. Roughly

[olive plaza]

I know MTG tends to do a lot with smaller card shops where they'll send stuff below MSRP and let the shop make some money

but idk how the pokemon company works on that front

[fresh timber]

why does cardboard cost so much

[olive plaza]

MTG is great. They want their cards in the hands of players

[deep parcel]

generally ETB on amazon have been around the $60 MSRP direct from amazon... heres one I bought recently that was MSRP direct from Amazon

[olive plaza]

wow this sentence threw me for the biggest loop

look at my pfp

LOL

[deep parcel]

lol sorry I meant elite trainer boxes

[olive plaza]

my brain could not grammar

then I figured out it was elite trainer box

[deep parcel]

I didnt even realize either

[olive plaza]

It sounds like this is corporate greed

[deep parcel]

yep pretty much...

[olive plaza]

which again is different from scalping

[deep parcel]

also because that specific box is super desirable right now

[olive plaza]

because

scalpers, as far as I'm aware, can go uh... insert expletives

companies that have corporate greed

well they're all companies

what can you do

[deep parcel]

Indeed...

[olive plaza]

it is what it is

I'm also solidly in the camp where I feel there are certain things that are considerably worse for corporate greed to affect

[fresh timber]

no its just 2.4ghz

[olive plaza]

[olive plaza]

better than a constantly interrupted 2.4

Hot take, windows should always run the bare minimum so windows runs smoothly with out impacting performance

[tranquil pebble]

Windows should not be doing stuff like this on its own

it tends to bug out so hard

I love that they had to put the "due to people's complaints and that we could ACTUALLY FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE RELEASE (like most companies, but they don't do it), we have fixed the issues for people's happiness" message super nicely. But you know what they implied. W movie producer tbh

It cost 20 bucks for premade design then 30 bucks for custom design xD

Good enough to hide a boring card

[frosty sinew]

Worth it

It looks so much better

[wary fjord]

😂

But why tho

[wary fjord]

Ow u cut it?

[frosty sinew]

Kinda

Cnced a new one

[wary fjord]

Ywah looks better now

[frosty sinew]

Idk why its so tall

What case is using that

[wary fjord]

Tower cases

Can anti sag 3 ple card

XD

[frosty sinew]

LMAO

[wary fjord]

I saw a case yesterday with 6 fan on front.. and top and bottom.. and 2 at the back

It fits 3 cards

Probably that's what for xD

That's like 20 fan

That probably gonna fly

[frosty sinew]

How are you supposed to power it

[wary fjord]

Theres some psu can handle it xD

I dint see the vack yet if it has 2 slot for psu

If it does thats lit

[frosty sinew]

Wr are approaching the limit of us breakers lol

[wary fjord]

ah indeed it can pop your breaker

Even 3090 can do it

I guess need to upgrade those breakers 😔

[frosty sinew]

Noo

Upgrade wiring and plug

Then breaker

Lol

[craggy shoal]

breaker is probably failing

[tranquil pebble]

or there are other things on the circuit and the upgrade was just enough to sometimes push it over the current limit

[frosty sinew]

^

The rgb

[craggy shoal]

RGB isn't doing much lollll

[wary fjord]

We dont have that breaker thingy i think i have fuse box..or what ever that battery looking like

60A on each side

[craggy shoal]

The RGB in my PC only pulls lik 30 extra watts

[frosty sinew]

Ignore the fact it took me 4 attempts

Oh frick my sign got in the pic

[frosty sinew]

Is that a challence

[craggy shoal]

lollll

[frosty sinew]

Incandescent rgb

[craggy shoal]

Incadescent RGB would be wild

[frosty sinew]

Forget cpu power

60w bulbs

[craggy shoal]

"ayo how much TDP your RGB got?" 😭

[tranquil pebble]

tfw Teslas are Twitter cars

[wary fjord]

1200w xD its like a flashbang when it change color

[tranquil pebble]

imagine a 1000W LED

[frosty sinew]

No

I cant

I have a 200w flood light

And its like the sun

[atomic current]

twitter car lol

[tranquil pebble]

I should put one of those in my lamp

[wary fjord]

We have that light that can show circle on the clouds hehe

[frosty sinew]

Let me just chill out and read

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-flash-cat-betterttv-gif-10690574645280585754

[wary fjord]

https://youtu.be/LT5_-A0m8_U?si=Wh6cieIaswZGxuX_

[frosty sinew]

Yep

[craggy shoal]

Home Assistant

[wary fjord]

If intruder comes turn every light red

[craggy shoal]

(And no it's not 88F in my room. The thermometer wasn't calibrated before it updated. It's actually like 77F in here lol)

[wary fjord]

And play alien asmr sounds

[craggy shoal]

Make the lights strobe lol

[frosty sinew]

no

rgb

[tranquil pebble]

if I was rich I would just have all the lights cut and use military grade night vision to scare the hell out of the intruder

[wary fjord]

Idk they might start dancing

[frosty sinew]

exactly

[wary fjord]

Might aswell drop a disco ball

[frosty sinew]

thats the plan

[tranquil pebble]

and ofc something like a Beretta M9 with laser sight in case things go south

[craggy shoal]

The last thing the intruder sees

[tranquil pebble]

also would be best doing this in a state that is home defense friendly ofc

[wary fjord]

Those laser that can cut human

To a tiny cube

I love that to be my security thingy

[frosty sinew]

geneva convention

lol

[tranquil pebble]

more like it would be a fire hazard to the home

lasers strong enough to cut through things tend to make a lot of heat where the laser makes contact

[frosty sinew]

true

mirror house

[wary fjord]

Probably since its a laser maybe it doesnt heat up if it can go point a to point b ... But if something is blocking

It starts to heat up

Until it passthrough point b

[tranquil pebble]

it is a highly concentrated beam of light... not unlike sun + magnifying glass

[wary fjord]

Or lead them on a empty room where jewelry is at

[tranquil pebble]

so yes it takes some time for heating

[wary fjord]

Just put laser there

When they go out

It activated

[tranquil pebble]

depending on the power of the laser that time could be seconds, or milliseconds...

[wary fjord]

Also since they are in cube size.. its easy to just feed them to the dogs

[tranquil pebble]

your energy bill would also be... insane

[wary fjord]

Fr

Ow wait

How about sand

Sand blaster room

Not fire hazard right?

[tranquil pebble]

not to mention good luck justifying having deadly traps to the court

[wary fjord]

It just evaporste everything whos inside that room ahha

[wary fjord]

😂 tell them u put a sign outside.. they dint listed they get what they deserve

Same as if your dog eat your neighbor

U need to put a sign outside

[tranquil pebble]

Realistically I would be doing everything I could to prevent anyone getting hurt, but if it came down to me or the intruder... well it isn't going to be me.

[wary fjord]

True

Sometimes they hurt them even tho they got everything

[frosty sinew]

are u joking

lol

800 cad

[tranquil pebble]

so if I were rich you could expect a surveillance system that I see from my phone, and maybe even a PA system to tell the intruder to leave or face the consequences lol

when you know where they are but they dont know where you are, that is a massive upper hand lol

[wary fjord]

Other store has one way door rooms incase if introders comes

So they call a cop next day if they manage to capture one

[tranquil pebble]

yeah having doors I could remotely lock would also mean... yeah that intruder is getting taken by the cops lol

and none of that is even that hard with modern tech

[wary fjord]

Or a dart with sleeping drug on it

U can aim remotely

[tranquil pebble]

those can easily be lethal

the point is to avoid lethal force unless your life is in immediate danger... which is what a firearm would be for

[frosty sinew]

till wifi goes out

lul

[wary fjord]

Hmm how about methane gas slowly filling the room

Let them sleep

[frosty sinew]

and then one spark and ur both dead

and ur house is gone

lol

[wary fjord]

Ow hahahaha

Is it flammable

[frosty sinew]

yeah?

[tranquil pebble]

villain levels of home defense

[wary fjord]

Ow sad

[frosty sinew]

methane is literally natural gas

lol

[wary fjord]

Because theres plannet with pure methane one spark that planet go boom,?

[tranquil pebble]

No, because it likely lacks oxygen

[frosty sinew]

no oxygen on planet to burmn iot

we habe oxygen here

[wary fjord]

Fair.. so we remove oxygen and release methane?

[frosty sinew]

i mean

[wary fjord]

Nvm that will kill the introder

[frosty sinew]

youd be dead still

bruh

[tranquil pebble]

Remember you need 3 things for a fire: fuel, a heat source, and an oxidizer such as oxygen

[wary fjord]

Ok just bunch of racoons then

With rabies

[frosty sinew]

that would work

[wary fjord]

Jk no rabies xD that could backfire.. nust normal racoons.

[frosty sinew]

dog

[wary fjord]

Haha

Yeah bunch if this

Charging at u

[tranquil pebble]

or do it Florida man style and use a gator

[wary fjord]

Ow yes those spinning gator do when they want to rip a limb is perfect enough

[frosty sinew]

exacty

[frosty sinew]

Wish me luck

Wisdom teeth

[olive plaza]

Ah dang they're removing your wisdom

[frosty sinew]

Fr

Wisdom sucks

[olive plaza]

I experienced something pretty crazy just now

going one end of the PC speed spectrum to the other

[frosty sinew]

Lol

Welcome to the club

[olive plaza]

I built a PC at my day job yesterday afternoon. Core Ultra 7 265KF, 64GB of DDR5, 2TB PCIe4.0 NVMe SSD from Silicon Power, RTX 5080

[frosty sinew]

Dang that's nice

[olive plaza]

it was a pleasure to work on installing stuff bc it's so fast

[frosty sinew]

Yep

[olive plaza]

then today I finish the last few driver installs

start a few stress tests

[frosty sinew]

Ahhhh

I don't wanna do this

[olive plaza]

and then go to work on a local repair. customer's laptop from 5 years ago, Core i3 with a conventional hard drive.

[frosty sinew]

Pita

[frosty sinew]

Oh no

[olive plaza]

I downloaded Lenovo's official diagnostic tool from their website to check the hardware

when the download finished and it started the installer, the user account control sound played

a solid 10 seconds after that is when the Yes/No buttons actually appeared on the screen

[frosty sinew]

Lol

[wary fjord]

now all your teeth will move xD

[rigid sinew]

did i say good morning yet ?

[royal crow]

Idk

[royal crow]

Good morning

[rigid sinew]

morning !

[wraith fern]

anyone here know a good method to bind fan speeds to gpu temps

[acoustic palm]

fan… curves…

adrenaline will do it for amd gpus

[wraith fern]

dont have adrenaline

is it possible in bios?

im not a fan of having 50 different softwares binding fan controls

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7q2tal1gBLQ?feature=share

gg insurance?

[wary fjord]

15 mins past new day.. so nope not yet xD

[rigid sinew]

hahaha good morning tomie

[acoustic palm]

@wary fjord hai can you look in #building-and-recc-chat, some guy openly admitted to making fun of mental disabilities, sorry for ping

[acoustic palm]

hi naht, gm and sorry to bother you but could you look in build chat, thanks

[wary fjord]

hes already muted .. xD change topic there now to lessen the heat

[fresh timber]

Morning everyone

[acoustic palm]

i think he left

[acoustic palm]

thanks btw

[royal crow]

done🙂

[rigid sinew]

i was, also you need to learn how to avoid arguments as well ... you both could have stepped away sooner.

[fresh timber]

I learned that the hardway

Breakfast cake

[acoustic palm]

damn even i am

[olive plaza]

I think tonight is when I'm gonna be doing the rebuild on my PC with the quiet stuff

I got some new fans from Arctic

and some rubber fan mounts

I'm also swapping back from my 14900KF to a Ryzen 7700X

14900KF is a bit much for my uses

[acoustic palm]

i wanna get a vertical mount

and maybe new ssd

[upper rain]

what state are u in?

if ur in a place where you can just roll the window down in the summer, then for sure lux car. you can fix the AC when you have the money for it

and heater is separate from the AC unit usually, so presumably you'd be fine in winter

i live in FL so shitbox all the way lmfao, but highly geographically dependent imo

[fresh timber]

dough boy

[fresh timber]

IL

its 90 outside

[upper rain]

AC unless ur going to be employed very soon

if you'll be getting a job once you have the car, i'd just suffer for a bit and spend the first couple checks on getting the AC fixed

bc even if ur like me and don't care too much about cars, it's probs going to be worth more that way

[fresh timber]

NO AC

Ur cheating

[upper rain]

oh u mean hypothetically?

[fresh timber]

yes

[upper rain]

i thought this was a legit choice you had lmfao

yeah AC all the way then lol

[fresh timber]

im handing you two cars you can pick frmo, or you can say nvm and take neither

[fresh timber]

LOL NO

[olive plaza]

You know this could be considered fat shaming

[fresh timber]

and youre not fat soo

[olive plaza]

you don't know that

[fresh timber]

excatly

at worst youre bigboned

[olive plaza]

ok

I just don't understand why you misspell my actual name every. single. time.

there isn't a single H in my entire name

first middle or last

I know when I first realized it was you Vex, you mentioned your frontal lobe had developed

[fresh timber]

and how far do you think it developed

[olive plaza]

Please try acting like it just a little

because so far you've demonstrated no development

[fresh timber]

it started with autocorrect spelling dough instead of doug

[olive plaza]

that doesn't happen unless you're on iPhone

[acoustic palm]

i have both a luxury car and ac lmao

[fresh timber]

uhh, highschool degree

[fresh timber]

Im on iphone

[acoustic palm]

youre on highschool?

[olive plaza]

he's on highschool

[fresh timber]

listen

im at the point of typing that i will spell the wrong word if it crosses my mind

[acoustic palm]

[fresh timber]

quok, remmeber what happened last time

[olive plaza]

"It was an autocorrect"

"i'm on highschool"

https://tenor.com/view/rigbycat-rigby-cat-tongue-gif-18357263336141773644

[fresh timber]

no it was my brain going.. ooo i want to spell highschool instead of iphone

is this muscle memory or something

[olive plaza]

just like your brain said I want to spell dough

[fresh timber]

fine

DOUG

ru happy now

[olive plaza]

I mean, not really, but that's one less thing to be annoyed at

So have you sold off the R5 5500 yet

[fresh timber]

oh sorry

[fresh timber]

no its sitting in the pc

fully built minus gpu and storage

[frosty sinew]

guys

my jaw

is so numb

this sucks

[wary fjord]

detach jaw

place it on drawer

and go to sleep

[frosty sinew]

i wish

[wicked oriole]

Is it worth to upgrade from a 9800x3d to 9950x3d for $300? Buddy said he would buy my 9800x3d for 400 so it is a $300 difference for the new cpu

[frosty sinew]

i mean not rlly lol

[wicked oriole]

I would like to get into streaming and have been playing a lot of tarkov

[frosty sinew]

its so overkill for like 99% of stuff

[wicked oriole]

Didn't know if itd be nice to have the extra cores even tho the extra half aren't technically x3d cores

[sinful blade]

No

[fresh timber]

my father is just jealous

[sinful blade]

[worthy meteor]

Pretty sure tarkov isn't optimized well for multicore performance

Performance might decrease rather than increase

[fresh timber]

just overclock the ccd

or lock the game to one ccd

[opaque sedge]

@wary fjord i got the oled ultrawide and it looks incredible

[red tree]

Dumb question, anyone familiar with laser printers? specifically an HP MFP MF281cdw? I Have full toners that are HP originals, but printing is entirely washed out. All colors and black are all way too washed out. printing from multiple laptops/desktops and even running reports on the printer itself are all wrong. Are there more consumable parts I should replace?

[opaque sedge]

I dont remember red lookinh this good

[red tree]

I even tried a firmware upgrade/downgrade, nothing seems to chagne print quality

[red tree]

so pretty, I need a new video card before I get a new monitor, but a new display is on my list of things to get

[wary fjord]

turn the gas pedal hit that x4 dlss

yeah def nice at widescreen it doesnt look stretch out at all

they implement it well

[opaque sedge]

Its a 40 series so no multiframe gen and i hate fg

[fresh timber]

sad

[opaque sedge]

Jesus game looks detailed af now even tho its prolly the same ppi

[wary fjord]

use LSFG

[fresh timber]

i wish real games supported ultrawide

[opaque sedge]

I’m good with 80-90 frames on decent settings, im somewhat input lag sensitive

[opaque sedge]

I wish elden ring nightreign would

Those fromsoft devs apparently dont support ultrawide cuz it gives players an unfair advantage

They too high up their asses ngl

Sekiro and elden ring are games i dont mind modding because i alr completed elden ring many times and sekiro doesnt have many online features and doesnt use easyanticheat iirc but modding usually removes online features

[fresh timber]

if its not a competitve game it doesnt matter, idk why devs care

your game already scales for the 50 different reses people use, what more is ultrawide

[opaque sedge]

It aint fromsoft devs def have some form of ego where they see their every choice as genius

[fresh timber]

pirate software old friends

[opaque sedge]

Also the thing is their games actually render in ultrawide resolutions

[fresh timber]

unfair. mf its a single player game

[fresh timber]

prob cause of the engine

:/

[opaque sedge]

But they went out of their way to put black bars on the side to make the aspect ratio 16:9

Deliberately

And if u try to change that

[fresh timber]

what was the point

[opaque sedge]

Eac detects it and ur banned

[wary fjord]

fair on but on dota 2 they implement it.. and it has huge advantage u can see alot on birds eye view.. like ur map sense will be higher

than regular people

[opaque sedge]

They want u to experience the game based on their vision ig

[fresh timber]

regular people should buy a ultrawide

[opaque sedge]

See what i mean by some form of ego issue

[fresh timber]

fortnite lets you use ultrawide on non comp modes

;/

[opaque sedge]

Banger game designs but they too high up their asses

[fresh timber]

who tf cares what you use on a casual mode

unless they have comp elden ring

[tranquil pebble]

ultrawide would be a disadvantage for me because I don't even see much detail out of my left eye

[wary fjord]

ultra wide vs normal monitor

[fresh timber]

sounds like eye problem then

[atomic current]

Constantly look left

[wary fjord]

not much but def u can see them faster xD

[fresh timber]

my displays look blurry to me, they should make monitors bigger

thats a me problem

[tranquil pebble]

the eye is fine but my brain ignores a lot of the image

[fresh timber]

buy a new one

so u have a neurological issue

[wary fjord]

a friend of mine not fond with widescreen because hes moving his neck alot.. and he hates it

[tranquil pebble]

multiple of those lol

[frigid stag]

Monitors 32 inch+ are for boomers anyway

[opaque sedge]

The clarity is duckinh insane

[fresh timber]

how tf

sore

how

you should be muted for 10mins

huhhh

[tranquil pebble]

that said my left eye still provides me with stereoscopic vision so I can enjoy VR just fine

[opaque sedge]

There is no way I’m believing people who say they dont see any difference between ips and oled

I am seeing the difference

[fresh timber]

i dont notice it

and iv seen oleds

its not mind blowing to me

[frigid stag]

Probably had a shit monitor before

[tranquil pebble]

high end ips can come shockingly close to oled

[fresh timber]

i want a OLED monitor

[opaque sedge]

Dude this clarity and contrast is insane

[icy ore]

Hax

[frigid stag]

^

[fresh timber]

i men laptop

[tranquil pebble]

ik because i have both oled and high end ips

[opaque sedge]

The frames look smoother as well

[fresh timber]

when i get a J*b i unirocnily would buy a new laptop with same specs but oled

[opaque sedge]

Using dlss to get it to 100frames what i used to get in 16:9 and it looks even smoother

[frigid stag]

Spot the differences

[tranquil pebble]

my oled has worse text on Windows than my IPS despite higher pixel density though

[fresh timber]

black isnt as dark, wont bother me sense my games arnt dark

[opaque sedge]

Yh thats an issue on 2nd gen oleds and some “cheap” 3rd gen ones

[tranquil pebble]

I attribute this mostly to Windows ClearType or whatever just being trash

[fresh timber]

all i care about is the picture not being shit, good response times, and high refresh

[opaque sedge]

Mine doesn’t have the text clarity feature too

[fresh timber]

LOL mines a lil spotty but NOT that bad

[tranquil pebble]

I spent $600 on it

[opaque sedge]

Whats a high end ips?

[frigid stag]

I have an older tn monitor with better contrast than those

[opaque sedge]

Like a miniled ips?

[frigid stag]

Idk the exact models

[tranquil pebble]

and it doesnt have the text issue anywhere except with Windows text

[frigid stag]

Monitor brands give them some long names

[fresh timber]

mines is high end

240hz

🙂

[tranquil pebble]

i have a 240 hz IPS with such a crazy response time I can't tell a difference between it and my OLED in that area

both are Acer Predator variants

[frigid stag]

If it’s that 270hz one I can see why

Well 270hz with overdrive

[tranquil pebble]

240 hz Acer OLED

no overdrive

[frigid stag]

I mean the ips one

[tranquil pebble]

oh yeah i don't use overdrive on that either

both have the delta e color accuracy sticker

[fresh timber]

im ngl

im happy with 240

[tranquil pebble]

same... hard to afford a GPU that can push higher anyways even at 1080 or 1440

[wary fjord]

i will avoid any monitor that has overdrive past 240 xD

[fresh timber]

my laptop pog

[fresh timber]

why

[fresh timber]

my 9070xt does it just fine at 1440

[tranquil pebble]

until you play AAA slop probably lol

[fresh timber]

i play AAA

[tranquil pebble]

9070xt is also a monster of a video card ngl

and it won't even burn your house down

[fresh timber]

urs is prob faster

[tranquil pebble]

6900 XT is not faster, especially in RT

[wary fjord]

how much TOK/s does 6900xt does in https://github.com/aidatatools/ollama-benchmark

[opaque sedge]

Sadness coming soon

[wary fjord]

this is unfair xD vega is on the list but not rdna1 xD

[honest birch]

No oleds have overdrive lol

and they dont need it either

their g2g pixel response times are much faster than LCD

already exceeding the refresh rate

[opaque sedge]

Ngl the smoothness of motion is insane too

[honest birch]

thats because of the 0.1ms g2g

no ghosting

or artifacts

[opaque sedge]

Icic even 60 fps looks smooth as heck on it

On my ips 60 fps did not feel that smooth

(Cough cough elden ring)

[honest birch]

yeah unlike lcds, oleds look good at lower refresh rates, they keep g2g constant whereas LCDs degrade g2g performance the lower the refresh rate

[honest birch]

u can uncap btw

[opaque sedge]

Yh disables online features tho cuz eac

Those floor messages add so much personality to the game

Yk the job well dones after beating a boss

And ofc

Try finger but hole

[honest birch]

finger butt hole..?

[opaque sedge]

Yh thats a popular elden ring joke players made by using the preset words in the message recording system

Lol even wilds looks smooth af at 60 frames on an oled

Man i cant wait to play optimized slightly older games on higher frames

[honest birch]

oled is just simply better. you will have TNtards try and sell you a TN esports panel bc "its better"

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber AS:OJKDAS:LKASD:LASDK:LASDK:ASKLDJFASLK
