Oh wow 9070 series has two encoding engines
This makes sense though
as it is just two 9060 xts glued together
z270 boards are way too overpriced tho
at least the ones I'm comfortable stressing to 6GHz
Should I try using av1 on dvd transcodes
I'm using hevc 10-bit atm
av1 hits cpu really hard
My cpu went to like 85% with a game open
Without a game open though it was like 50 which is ok
But this is a current gen cpu with +200 pbo

not really a problem since I'm just running handbrake by itself
It's up to 30m now
lmao not worth it
gonna try a faster preset
ok decent
but will it be smaller
Oh thats nice
find out after this message from our sponsor
If it's actually smaller I might re-encode this batch again
It's going to be the third time I've encoded this same batch of dvds
first time I accidently left subtitles baked in
so I had to redo it
and if av1 is substantially better than hevc
you bet I'm re-encoding
another thing I have to figure out is if jellyfin supports playing back pal video correctly
ok installing vlc-plugins-all fixed it
yeah so
HEVC 10 bit
av1
Thats insane
that's on speed 4
you know what this means
I'm re-encoding everything again
after I do a couple tests
Yeah you can save even more but the encoding time exponentially goes up
It's about as fast as hevc
on speed 4
so
there really isn't a point to using hevc
I use CPU encoding since
I'm encoding for storage since I don't really need speed
What would speed 3 be like
Or are you gonna test that
17 minutes
now it's up to 18
I actually started it like a minute ago
It's pretty much double
speed 4
Nah the one that took 30 min
oh that was 2
Unless speed 3 comes out under 100MB
I'm gonna say it's not worth it
we'll know in 20 minutes
Probably like 150 is my guess
yeah
pretty mid
the annoying thing with hevc is decoding
or rather transcoding for devices that don't support av1
I have never played terraria
180
overclock it nerd
I gain almost 20 fps at the same power draw
Gaining around 10-11% or so
my 150w profile is 7-8% faster
wowzer
should i oc my 7700xt
youre under arrest for possession of illegal graphics
Performance loss is insignificant
we are diffrent people
i dump power, you reduce
I have both
i could make one thats stock performance using less but im lazy
what's the source on this?
I might or might not regret this
specs?
M1pro 16 gigs of memory
That's.... That's a MacBook 
Yh iāve had it for almost half a decade now
It looks pretty new
It's going to draw it's final breath when you boot up the game
Itāll probably run
Testing out what settings I could use to get Cyberpunk at a playable frame and a bit of torture test as well.
MPB Specs:
OS: Tahoe Beta 3
CPU: M4 Max 16"
RAM: 128GB
MODE: High Power
Tested:
- Ray Tracing + Path Tracing on Metal (with and without frame gen)
- Ray Tracing + no Path Tracing on Metal (with and without frame gen)
- No Ray Tracin...
Lol iām just curious abt the optimizations cdpr made
Wont game on it ofc
Game on it immediately
Oh and @dusk knot ur gonna love these 

God iām booting it up and i forget how good the speakers on mac are
Running the benchmark looks like its locked to 30
No dips
Medium settings it seems
But is it OLED??
ofc it is u dumbo
It ..looks like it
You make me proud š„²

I don't remember you getting....one....is this what being senile feels like!!??
Alright running the benchmark in 1980x1200 native medium settings
Oof it cant hit 30

Hey
Gonna try it with dynamic resolution scaling
I figured out Iām the cause for my moms high electricity not all of it but some
Turns out for a month I wasnāt their I had left something on draining 200w idle
I did math.. thatās $40 of electricity
Yh the game doesnāt run that good on m1pro 
Her house hasnāt seen a overclocked 9070xt yet
Lmfaooooo
Mf going to be $70 a month
Imma try fsr no frame lock
Yh 30-40 frames on the benchmark
On fsr quality
The dlc would cook this thing
Looks surprisingly good tho
Yh i got it this week
Complimentary honey clip
28 bucks xD
So how does it feel? 
I like how this app all the average even per day in cost.. like i spend $0.93 per day it says...
I cant go back to lcd anymore
HAHAHAHHA
There we go
Oled should be the standard, but the prices are still too much for most gamers
But when you have an OLED side by side, it's not good enough
Even monster hunter wilds looks good now with hdr despite the heavy upscaling
Nice
What monitor did you get?
š
TN to me always reminds me of early 2000s LCDs which were pretty awful, even for the time. I hope, and expect the tech is much better now.
Yea this is a pretty modern one itās got vibrant colors too
Most peopleās experience with tn is some office monitor most of the time
mine was with a PS one portable display
well I am not 100% sure it was TN but seems likely
Doomguy if he was a drag racer: Grip and tear
spending too much money again
Damn. Good price too
Now do the zero KWh challenge
Big family?
Cant mosquito
XD and spoiled food
Need electric
little bit
solar panels
No idea how it works.. and it probably get stolen xD
oh yeah we got solar
good morning everyone
havenāt paid an electricity bill in months
nahhh
ive been better, ive been trying to get rid of this dumb cough
better than a couple days ago?
Mornin
oh that sucks
fr š¦ idk how to get it better
Damn bro that sucks
yeah not ideal
did they give you medicine ?
Naproxen probably
Iirc 4060ti 8gb performs like the 5060 8gb which is $300 new so doesn't seem worth it at all
Compare it to a 1660 super
are you in pain?
i mean a litte
it just sucks not being able to eat
i have to drink all cals
oh yeah most def, i didnt even touch food for like a week but thats cause they messed up my surgery
i had kraft dinner but that wasnt fun
and the stiches are just gross
i can feel them
yeah i totally know what youre talking about
i used saltwater to clean my stiches though
my mouth would feel super gross
have you been able to sleep ?
like 10 hrs in 2 days
Close to double
not great
Pain; without love
Pain; I can't get enough
Pain; I like it rough, cause I rather feel pain than nothing at all š£ļø
try taking melatonin
iirc the tylenol had some sleep aid in it
So would it be worth to upgrade to it?
Itās tough finding a good $200-250 gpu at the same performance point as a 6700xt
but it didnt help ? i took melatonin when i had mine taken out
knocked me out for a good min
like i can get to sleep
its jsut i wake up at 3am and dont go back
so i read for an hour and try again
then wake up at 7
this is day 3 so it should get better now
i have sleeping problems so when i got my wisdom, i tried it and it helped me
it doesnt work on me anymore so now i just barely sleep but still
Important to note that you shouldn't use melatonin too regularly; only when you need to sleep at an odd time (rotating shift, jetlag, etc)
that sucks
yeah i dont wanna take melatonin kinda messes up sleep after
esp since i work continental shifts
good enough
A few times is fine but extended use will make your body produce less of it
yeah i dont anymore but now i have another way tht helps me sleep
Me just closing my eyes for a few secs and just falling asleep 
need to find a comfy spot.. that makes u drowsy kinda thing
i never thought of that drinking meds to sleep but i heard the effect wear off faster the more u take it?
so u doubling ur dosage
ugh im gonna spend soo much on storage
i have 3 nvmes rn and 3 hdds and 1 sata ssd
im prob gonna replace the hdds with ssds
but i need to find like cheapish 2.5 inch sata ssds
sell all 2tb below and replace them all 4tb
i have 4tb nvme 1tb nvme 500gb nvme (boot) 750gb hdd 1 tb hdd 1 tb hdd and 2tb ssd
im gonna replace the boot drive with a 2tb 990 pro probably
but i need to find where to buy 3 or 4 ideally 2-4 tb sata ssds
eBay time
might just buy 3 more of these tbh
no dram cache but 100$ less than the cheapest dram one
and its def faster than hdd
Stretch to 300 and you get into 5060/9060xt lol
But I still don't think any of them are worth it, if you stay on the lookout for deals, you can probably snag a better used card
maybe but finding 4 matching that are decent in canada
hmm the dramless 2tb is 98% now after 5 years xD.. and my 256gb ssd still 100% the hell xD
Something like a 3070 for $200 sounds reasonable
Iām hoping someone in here or at least someone I know can give me a deal
But I canāt advertise lmao
i was taking more speed wise tho
Prob just watch hws
also there sata
yeah just sharing health it seems sata ssd are more strong xD than my nvmes
lol
The typical operating temperature range for NVMe SSDs is 0°C to 70°C .. im still gucci
does anyone want to play among us later ?
im chair ridden all day so
gib steam
idk how
its a double heatsink
top and bottom lol
above it acc
blowing hot air on it maybe
somehow
mine is always 35-37 // i have b550 strix f wifi
get rid of the 3 hdds
it also has heatsink top bottom
and then swap my 500gb boot drive for a 2tb 990 pro
x870e maybe toastier
ow maybe room temp? because its 29c here?
maybe yours higher than mine idk sadly haha maybe that type of samsung is hot
hmm
screenshot me ur hwinfo mobo stat on temp
whoa
u got a software to generate that?
fancy
thats just gigabyes control utility thing
hmmm
there u go this is board temp right?
urs normal xD that 63c is just weird hehe
thats hotspot i think
Rumor: Intel Arrow Lake Refresh only with clock boost Contrary to what Intel has been sharing under the embargo, the comapny has opted to keep NPU without changes.Ā Barely a week ago, Korean news outlet ZDNET reported that the upcoming refresh of the Core Ultra 200 series, known as Arrow Lake Refresh, will focus on [ā¦]
š
yeah i have it like silent till a load is on
boom
i think thats what im going with
i gotta think abt it first lol\
cad
ow fair
true
i doubt it matters for sata tho
yeah
okay if you guys want to join our group the room code is : etsraf
since when did hdds get so cheap lol
read write not bad i wrote 28tb and read 40tb
they don't have desktop architectures rn and fixing arrowlake makes less financial sense than just releasing a workibg architecture on next socket. sucks that this is how it goes, but maybe we'll get even cheaper core ultras lol
me
hahahah yaaaay
who up jinglin they hive

eeber
canow we wait
it is pricey
whats the speed of the sodimm ur looking for?
Yeah because form factor
Laptop comes with 12gb installed and I don't think it'll be enough
does your laptop have two slots?
you can make an offer with this seller btw
Yeah, it's got two
Nice, thank you!
np
Wish I was a bit closer lol, I could pick up local
seller has good ratings but still be aware
Just put the sticks in one lol
Hmm
Unless he is not technical and just happened to get his hands on a pair lol
definitely the latter im guessing
The seller name alludes that it's a thrift store
If you gonna game on it then you are right
So I'm sure they get all kinds of stuff
it actually is
Oh ok that mkaes sense
fr
I thought about just getting another 12gb stick but then it'll likely be mix and match and I didn't want to do that
@rancid juniper 
kit is much better even if the laptops do jedec 99% of the time
Oh I thought some of the ram is soldered since it is 12
Surprisingly not lol
I was looking for something not soldered specifically
Lenovo also says it's got two m.2 slots which I feel is a lie
You can look up the model on the sticker and probably be able to find another
my acer does :3
i can hear the unnecessary loud incorrect buzzer
ngl that looks sleek
nice build
fr
I looked at it many times in the past but only just now am I seeing the side perforation
I thought lian li doing that was just a recent thing and not something from years ago
this build is pretty nice, case looks weird though specifically where the power button and the front connection ports are located
i've never seen a case put them in that location before
Lian li does it a decent amoutn
Some of their new cases they are about to release have front io on the side
I think if you have the computer in that orientation or on the right of your desk it works pretty well
Cables wont be hanging from the top
I love it
Clean build, itās nice seeing a minimal all black ox
Pc
That car once awe in gaze when it was out first on the dealership now it looks like that sad
we can do it again
Chat is dead
-_-
Gre
Lol
i know youre not



Waiting for that free 6090
Naht will deliver

XD
i really want to get rid of this
mfw I just want to turn off my pc and it stays on updating for another 20 minutes
looks like we're going to have to do this the hard way
I just restart it before I sit down
It's amazing how Microsoft will throw millions at copilot instead of fixing this crap
The reason why it's called Copilot and not Pilot is because the pilot is drunk
microsoft CEO is the pilot
That is when I don't have a bunch of explorer tabs open in a specific way, and reference images up so I can build the Minecraft things
Which is 90% of the time
Literally me when I play Minecraft
I haven't even been to the end yet
I've just built a town
What's the end
ladies

noooo
no

you shouldve made sure i wasnt on discord 
I'm trying to go to the aether
lmao
The real aether of the 2015 troll aether
Too bad this is slop
I have stacks of diamonds
But not a single netherite ingot
And half of those diamonds I found when mining for tuff
are pci gen 5 ssds worth?
its not a big enough price gap to not consider it for a boot drive
What is the use case
Unless you're doing very I/O intensive work
Neither of those are worth it
Yeah you can get away with even a gen 3
Imma give you a couple ssds
This is generally the cheapest option
HMB
no non name brand
This is a pretty good one
It has dram
For the low low price of $124
Eh
k thats also usd tho
?
How much in cad
250
This would be the cheapest in canada
T500 is still pricey but still well priced
25 less than the 990 pro lol
Slightly cheaper than the P41
The thing is
If you're not doing any intensive work on it
You really won't see that much improvements
i do cad, 3d rendering, some video editing and a little gaming
Although it is worth spending a bit more for TLC
yeah so 990 pro is prob worth it cuz the pcie 5 one didnt have cache
does it? it didnt say in pcpp
Yes
yeah see it says no caceh
yeah that what i was wondering
why does their site not say anythign about it
Pcpp doesn't always have all the information
i mean crucials site
1 tb sadge need 4tb
Most sources does agree that it has dram
Arguably you might not need the dram cache too
That's fair
and idek why i need 15tb of ssd in my destop
but
here we are
tbf tho
3 of my sata drives are hdds
so its a little justified
I think the T500 is like $20-30 cheaper in the us market
but ive got 2 1tb hdds, 1 750gb hdd, 1 2tb sata ssd, and a 500gb nvme and a 4tb nvme and a 1tb nvme
š¤Ø
a lot of things are like that here, its odd..
i cant even find a t500 from a genuine seller here
I'd just get rid of those HDDs and replace it with a high capacity one
yeah
Get a chonkier HDD
Or run them in raid
lol
ok but this is an actual reason
im going to uni soon
and im gonna be transporting pc often
in a car
soooooooo
5640rpm or something with cmr
esp since one of them is double sided taped on top
cuz 4000d doesnt have anough drive bays
You probably want some sort of support for the GPU
alr got one
When moving around
ill prob end up taking it out anyway or buying that foam
I probably wouldn't trust the gpu
Rest of the pc is fine since you have a liquid cooler
yeah
For me I just ditched my desktop entirely
It was cheaper than shipping
yeah thats later tho, i like performance of desktop
plus you can loan laptops at the uni
most of my gaming during the summer is just on steam deck now
idk about rochester ny, but im not paying power there
Mostly because I'm also running several other computers
Still somehow smaller than having my old desktop
I have at least three computers on at peak hours
I have a gaming laptop, work laptop, two mini pcs and a nas
One of the mini pcs is off
