amd having hyperthreading murders me

@elfin mural FOXYYYYYY UR ONLINE WHOOOOOOO

[frosty sinew]

Thats itttttttr

[elfin mural]

hi

[frosty sinew]

I get 70k hehe

[fresh timber]

;/

its a lapotp dawg

ai 240 is fastre but i have faster graphics

[sinful blade]

16GB

[frosty sinew]

Ik im just fing with ya

[fresh timber]

i have lower TDP too

[sinful blade]

@fresh timber also fsr4

[fresh timber]

o

fsr4 isnt wokring for me

it went away on rivals

[elfin mural]

i really want ryzen 7 250 but no advanced optimus on amd low

loq*

[fresh timber]

i smoke it

[elfin mural]

the 60wh battery on intel has a meh battery life

3 hours if ur lucky

[fresh timber]

now i know why foxy doesnt want pc

room

foxy, get pc with screen on it

[elfin mural]

lol

electricity bills are still a big concern tho

going from like a 200w laptop to a desktop that easily consumes more will put a dent to that

[fresh timber]

9060xt, uhhhh 9600x in eco mode

[fresh timber]

i used $40 worth of power every month ish,

prob more cuase gaming and i never mesured with 9070xt yet

[elfin mural]

we got high rates here

[fresh timber]

bypass meter

[elfin mural]

changes in consumption is noticeable

[fresh timber]

same

i went from lapotp to desktop

rip bill

[fresh timber]

my bill might decrease lol

m using laptop more

[elfin mural]

i want this so badly

[fresh timber]

i want egpu so baddd

my cpu is veryyy similar to my old 11600k

so im happy

im in the kitchen

wyd

[elfin mural]

slower single core on the intel huh

[fresh timber]

think about it foxy

[elfin mural]

im just doing my usual stuff of looking at random bits and bobs lol

[fresh timber]

mroe cores

[elfin mural]

true, and the existence of e cores

[fresh timber]

im exited to get thunderbolt egpuuuuuuu

[fresh timber]

ngl people talk too much shit about them

they are like SO Useful

i be running programs on my ecores and theirs no affect to gaming performace at all

[elfin mural]

that's sick

[fresh timber]

and when i max my P cores out on gaming my pc isnt sluggish asf cause.. ecores

i never once had a problem with cpu usage unless im doing stupid

[elfin mural]

amd has the big efficiency edge tho

sometimes i do need the batt life

when power goes out

it's kinda spotty lol

[fresh timber]

UPS?

[elfin mural]

one time i found full use of my amd lappy's batt life potential

[sinful blade]

NEW GPPPPUUUUUUU

[elfin mural]

it went 8 hours unplugged

[fresh timber]

roomba

your order number

[sinful blade]

Shut

[fresh timber]

somebody might social engineer their way to address

[fresh timber]

my laptop has a always on usba port and my backpack has a usba port for charger...

laptop is now the battery bank

[elfin mural]

nice

[fresh timber]

i wonder if i can jerryrig a setup to charge laptop inside bag

[sinful blade]

Yes

[fresh timber]

maybe a 20v barrel jack or something that carrys 20v PD or something

or usbc passthrough idk

too much efford

[elfin mural]

i might actually run 1600p with dlss if i can't find a reasonable deal on 1080p 5070 powered options

[fresh timber]

i have lunar lake, my batte last forever

[elfin mural]

1440p and higher should run dlss pretty nicely

[fresh timber]

egpu funna be lit

i can use lossless scaling

two gpus

[elfin mural]

i don't see the point of going above 1080p on a laptop myself

but alas

can't choose much

[fresh timber]

7700xt, goes thorugh 130v, 130v lossless scales framegen, tv plug into the laptop

boom 4k 60 frame gened

ill prob get more fps with a 7700xt by it self tho

[fresh timber]

holy

foxy, how fast would you crash this

bro this is a mad scam

[chrome mirage]

I saw a guy that looks just like him at a wedding I went to last week

[uncut mulch]

Would you rather take a laptop with 4050 and 32 gigs of ram or laptop with 4060 and 16 gigs of ram?

[misty sparrow]

depends on if laptop has user-upgradable ram

i'd take 4060 laptop

[elfin mural]

4060 always if the ram is upgradable

[wary fjord]

Whoa u still alive

That is nice pc

[exotic ingot]

Walked my little brother through his first personal build ronight

Fx 6300, 20gb DDR3, and a 960 2gb

Nice little Minecraft box

[sinful blade]

My first gpu was a 960

[dense locust]

My first gpu is a 1070

I still have it

I’ve only been using a desktop for 6 years

[misty sparrow]

first one was a 10606GB from a prebuilt I have

it's still in the prebuilt

[wary fjord]

nostalgic build

[uncut mulch]

I think my first GPU was a GeForce 4MX

Or something along that line

[wary fjord]

mine ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB

boxes back then haha full of 3d girls

[fresh timber]

My pc

Runs terraria

Tommie

The and terraria

[wary fjord]

deym that gpu is 44w hehe no wonder it still work without a fan on

the fan quite melted but still working

[fresh timber]

terraria is super easy to run lmfao

[wary fjord]

yup

[fresh timber]

its time @pliant berry

[dense locust]

I would make that blade if I had the patience

[exotic ingot]

my first real PC was a FX 6350 with a GTX 770 4GB

so honestly, pretty close to the performance of his first PC

lol

[proud jackal]

how is it sunday already

[velvet summit]

I finished shift on Sunday

And I'm starting my shift on Sunday

[lone mango]

I have never use thermal putty before

idk how much to put

this container is really small

[wild peak]

More is better than less

[lone mango]

Right

I just dont want to put too much

[elfin mural]

like a glob that's smaller than the actual surface area that you wanna cover

that should do the job

it'll squish down and possibly ooze out

just clean the excess

[lone mango]

This is hard to apply

Its almost like thermal paste

But the putty I saw in this video is almost like play-doh

[fresh timber]

i wanted 2

[elfin mural]

yeah there's a lot of putty kinds

the play-doh ones are easier

since you can basically make a line across the vrms

[lone mango]

yea or use a ball

i tried the ball but it just stuck to the gloves

[elfin mural]

sadge

[lone mango]

Is this good

If I could make balls or logs this would be easy but the stickiness makes this a lot harder

[elfin mural]

looks about right

some people double checks it by mounting

then removing again to check contact

[tranquil pebble]

video card PCBs are so cool looking ngl

[fresh timber]

fr

i might take appart all my gpus rn and take a group photo

[wary fjord]

what is that putty?

i mean brand

[hoary zodiac]

Wrigley's

[elfin mural]

lmao

[frosty sinew]

Yall think its worth it to put 200 bucks in storage, psu and gpu into my old pc build to sell it as a whole?

[sinful blade]

The forbidden cotton candy

[frosty sinew]

what

[frosty sinew]

nah thats fiberglass insulation

[royal crow]

Are you quite alright

[sinful blade]

No, not at all why

[royal crow]

Ok just wondering

[dusk knot]

Gam-ers

[royal crow]

Huh

[frosty sinew]

[sinful blade]

[royal crow]

[upper rain]

they have a nickname hehe

[teal topaz]

Anyone ever have trouble getting their ram to post at the advertised speed? Even with xmp my 3600mhz stays at 2133

Driving me nuts

[wary fjord]

Did u hit apply

Does ur board/cpu supports it

[cedar compass]

Sometimes rams blue screening which xmp but it works fine when you tune it manually

And ofc some rams sux and blue screening anyways 🤷🏻‍♂️ like corsair

[wary fjord]

Sometimes that just board being incompatible to that module

Or ram sucks yeah

[sinful blade]

Tell

[arctic lily]

yo you got a gpu?

Nicee

[frigid stag]

“Forever” XD the game didn’t even last a year from launch

Don’t cod games from the 2000 still work with multiplayer

[arctic lily]

Yeah Xbox 360 stuff too like Minecraft

[pliant berry]

Ye that’s why we have channels like this one #networks-security-and-home-servers

[frosty sinew]

evidently

[sinful blade]

We are now poggy woggy

[arctic lily]

W

[wary fjord]

it takes alot of money to keep them alive xD

[arctic lily]

Hey not bad

[sinful blade]

Now I just need to get my 32gb of ram

I’m still on 16GB of 3600mhz

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[wary fjord]

xD looks large

[frigid stag]

That’s good though

[rancid juniper]

and you got ea putting 400 mil into battlefield 6

[frigid stag]

16 @3600mhz is nice

[frosty sinew]

are 990 pros still a no go

[rancid juniper]

breh

[wary fjord]

games that doesnt have hype.. eventually dies

not making money = gone

[rancid juniper]

thats what a ceo would say

[wary fjord]

yeah

[nocturne flicker]

Games that don't game eventually don't game enough to game

[remote geode]

I'm looking to get those... 1tb enterprise SSD options selling on AliExpress for 100usd a pop

they slot in on an x4 pcie slot

[wary fjord]

also they keep firing a dev teams.. that work on certain project..

no one wants to moderate adead game

their salary is base on how much that game makes

if no one plays it.. they gonna choose to work on incoming game under dev

[sinful blade]

Not as good at 32 at 3200 though

[frigid stag]

Faster is better if you’re not running out

[wary fjord]

32gb is hella cheap now

[frigid stag]

Ig you can overclock them

Back to 3600

[frigid stag]

No why

They were expensive but I don’t think they were ever bad

[frosty sinew]

they had a point where they kept failingfor no reason

[wary fjord]

i got t force cl 14 .. 32gb

last mem upgrade on am4

now i need to work on my cpu and gpu

[frigid stag]

Dang

That’s bdie ram

[sinful blade]

It’s going up since ddr4 is out of production

It’s like $55 for 32gb of 2666

[frigid stag]

You can always add 16gb more

[frigid stag]

😬

That’s insane

[wary fjord]

yeah but its only 3600hz i dont oc it yet xD

because thats sweet spot for my cpu

[frigid stag]

At cl14 that’s hella fast

Some newer ryzen can do like 4000 apparently

[wary fjord]

yeah

[sinful blade]

I’ll take a stable 3600 rather than testing up to 4200

[wary fjord]

if it works it works xD

[sinful blade]

I just want 32gb of 3200mhz, and then I won’t need a pc upgrade for years

[wary fjord]

it probably can do cl14 at 3800

[frigid stag]

Yeah I mean xoc is fun

Probably not the best idea if you want stability on your main pc

[sinful blade]

I gotta get some good die before I do testing

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WGcxv4

This is the ram I’m using atm

[wary fjord]

but 3600 is good enough.. for my r5 3600

it matching the name xD

[frigid stag]

Must’ve been expensive

[wary fjord]

kryanaut paste on gpu is really worth it xD the paste that gigabyte put as default idle at 50-55c

now it stays 40-45

[sinful blade]

Free with a trade

I went down from 8500g am5 to an am4

Couldn’t afford doing am5 upgrades with how costly it was

I needed a new mobo, ram, cpu

[frigid stag]

Isnt 5700x faster

Iirc 8000 ryzen are slow

[sinful blade]

So I just went down to a 5700g, that died, so I went to a 5800, that was locked behind Alienware, and then I went to my current 5700x

[wary fjord]

u killed a cpu?

ive never had that.. i will freak out if i do

[sinful blade]

Nah, went I went to transfer it to a new board, the pins snapped

[tranquil pebble]

2005 one at least didnt cause a real fire

[wary fjord]

thats not broken

[sinful blade]

Directly to ram 1, 3, and 4

[wary fjord]

solder it back in

[frigid stag]

[sinful blade]

I sold it, and the guy who bought it, within days, fried it

[wary fjord]

buy those square thingy that has bunch of holes .. but for cpu pins

its like the same when they do bga reballing

[sinful blade]

So that cpu died

[wary fjord]

so the pins stays in place

[tranquil pebble]

Firewire vs USB 2.0 was a no brainer, but USB 3 made it obsolete

[wary fjord]

aslong you dint rip the pad of the cpu pins

its ❤️

[sinful blade]

The guy I sold it to fried the cpu

[wary fjord]

deymm

bad mobo

i say that when cpu fried its mobos fault xD

hehe

[sinful blade]

Tried to do some weird OC with a bad motherboard and died

[wary fjord]

it should be the one who just stop it before it burn it self..

[sinful blade]

No sweat off my back

[frigid stag]

My friend’s board melted his cpu

[sinful blade]

But I’m happy where I am

5700x holds up to a lot of games very well

[frigid stag]

They didn’t want to replace it, said it was user error

[wary fjord]

deymmm

[frigid stag]

He’s now an intel fanboy 🗿

Was some kind of msi b550 or x570

[wary fjord]

ow hes that .. one experience and it gave them ptsd on said brand?

[frigid stag]

Yeah

Tbh people are the same with gigabyte boards

[wary fjord]

be honest we buy mobo sometimes because of their looks xD and if its under our budget

[rancid juniper]

i check mobos for OC/IO/Ratings

[wary fjord]

yeah thats a plus

max oc my board can do is 5100

wont run in cl 14 tho thats for sure xD

its gonna be super loose timing

[rancid juniper]

oof

[wary fjord]

after cleaning my pc my bluetooth is not disconnecting anymore ❤️

i probably hit the spot.. because since last year it giving me yellow icon on device manager

[rancid juniper]

probably reseated some BT chip without notice

[wary fjord]

i dont even use it ngl xD its just im annoyed when theres yellow warning on device manager

[rancid juniper]

real

[dusk knot]

Hhhhhmmmm

Yes

[tranquil pebble]

I have 5700x3d and it does too ofc

[upper rain]

ass🐓

[wary fjord]

why no 5800

how much diff they have anyway xD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_UeQnfSqEQ

not that much its fine igues

[dusk knot]

Goated CPU

But we always need MORE POWER

[royal crow]

Get a 14900k

[frosty sinew]

nah

9950x3d

[royal crow]

Fire

[wary fjord]

what happen when it hits 10k

10950x3d something?

[frosty sinew]

no

they pull an intel

and go back to 0

[wary fjord]

0x3d?

[frosty sinew]

no

0050x3d

[wary fjord]

lol

[frosty sinew]

or like smtg stup[id

like 51x3d

[cedar compass]

Or they will steal Intel's naming and call them 365k3d

[frosty sinew]

prob

[sinful blade]

[dusk knot]

Old

[royal crow]

Why did intel do that

Why wasn't 15 a good number

[upper rain]

sorry little bro ur card is already obsolete, probs going to explode should have spent $500 on a 505060 ti

it's all good, asrock GPUs are pretty solid

i am not a fan of their boards tho

[nocturne flicker]

That was supposed to go to my personal server but I guess you can have it too

[lone mango]

Ok so I think I messed up the putty

I know the heat from vram is concentrated in the middle but basically the inner corners that face the gpu are not covered

I should still be ok though because this vram runs cold anyway

The putty moved like that because I goofed and thought that what my screw hit was the threading but it was next to it, so I had to lift up the board and then got it correctly

[tranquil pebble]

scalpers is why

[lone mango]

With the 9600x being $150 at micro center, 5700x3d aint worth it

It still holds its own against it and on average is clost to as fast but you can part out your old platform and end up with the same amount of money spent

[silver sparrow]

i have no real reason to uprade my computer, im happy with its performance in all accounts, but i still yearn to build more pc stuff, i want to upgrade my pc just to do tech stuff again

i feel like i would have to do a complete upgrade, new like everything, new theme, new challenges, i want this to actually take a decent amount of time. ive been wanting to do custom water cooling, but i feel like i should just build a cheaper grade pc and attempt water cooling on that before i actually just do my actual new build so i can learn a bit

[acoustic palm]

i wouldnt “try out” water cooling ona cheaper system

watercooling is way too expensive and part specific for that

[rancid juniper]

fr

[upper rain]

yeah, if temps are good it's a moot point

and not like you have some hotspot thing to worry about since the actual IC is quite small and lives in the middle of the package anyway. package it's particularly conductive either tbh

[lone mango]

Yeah I know that it is small I just dont know how small it is

Ima plug it in soon

Main thing is the core

100c while undervolting goes hard

[upper rain]

hotspot?

[lone mango]

yeah

[upper rain]

gotta get some PTM homie

or liquid metal ig

[lone mango]

the paste was so bad

I could see the cooler and die through it

[lone mango]

Yeah thats what I got on there rn

[upper rain]

o

is hotspot better now or still sitting at 100C?

[lone mango]

I am expecting it to be really cool

[upper rain]

ahhh

[lone mango]

idk havent tested yet

[upper rain]

gotcha

[lone mango]

i chose a bad time to do this

finals week starts tomorrow

[upper rain]

ngl i'm maybe kinda cooked rn

[lone mango]

i wanted my brother to get the putty yesterday so i could keep doing school and then get right to this, but then he slept literally all day so i had to get it myself

that was a lot of time wasted

[upper rain]

arbitrary saturday due date that i didn't see instead of sunday like every other week on an assignment worth half my grade. i did not finish it on saturday

[lone mango]

bc i had to get more concentrated iso too

[upper rain]

he's just like me fr

i work at like 4:30 in the morning tho so i have an excuse

[lone mango]

luckily my finals are 10% so what i get is what i get

you lose money unless you HEAVY upsell, which no one will buy a low end pc with watercooling for a lot of money

[silver sparrow]

if i cared to make all the money back i wouldnt be doing experiemantal water cooling practice on it

[pliant berry]

omg i remember these things

[sinful blade]

You’re getting bug bucketed

[fresh timber]

i read tht wrong

mr boomba wheres 9060xt

[acoustic palm]

nowhere

[fresh timber]

did u buy one for your wife?

[misty sparrow]

oh my god he got an upgrade

[fresh timber]

If you are serious about trying a custom loop then reach out to @idle nexus . Also, do it on a system that can actually benefit otherwise your looking at dumping a grand just for looks and multiple headaches.

[fresh timber]

https://tenor.com/view/suit-up-men-black-suit-gif-2421368187829713807

me and quok

alpha 9070xt when

[tall pine]

Also yes, expect to spend about $1,000 if you're looking to do a proper custom loop.

[silver sparrow]

really? wheres most of that cash going?

[tall pine]

RTX 5090 or RTX 6090 for me.

[fresh timber]

5070ti

dont waste ur money alpha with your ESPORTS pc

[sinful blade]

On its way

[sinful blade]

I did

[fresh timber]

i could have gotten this

[sinful blade]

ASROCK challenger model

[fresh timber]

i have better graphics than that but its cpu beats me

[silver sparrow]

doing a waterblock on a 7900xtx and messing it up would def make it aexpensive watercooling

[sinful blade]

You could give me the 7900xtx

[fresh timber]

i could waterloop my entire pc minus gpu for like 400

[sinful blade]

[fresh timber]

i alrady know 9060xt is going in wife pc for oblivion

[silver sparrow]

you wouldnt want its stupid idle power

[sinful blade]

My goal waterloop is a Star Trek ship core

[tall pine]

Cost for a decent but not necessarily a great loop.
$150-200 - CPU block
$150 - radiator
$100 - fittings and tubes
$200 - pump & reservoir combo
$50 - tools
$30 - TiM

[fresh timber]

LOL THATS NOTHING

my 9070xt and 7700xt both do that

[sinful blade]

Nah, she can borrow, but it’s mine

[silver sparrow]

it goes up and down

[sinful blade]

I don’t pay for utilities so I’m fine

[fresh timber]

u dont?

wow

i dont either

[silver sparrow]

i dont want to keep the phantom gaming air cooler on it since the RGB broke on it forever ago, its stuck to a cyan blue

[tall pine]

A cheap water loop performs like a good AIO for double the cost + maintenance and headache issues.

[fresh timber]

to be fair u can get a good block rad and pump for like $500-400

@idle nexus proved it

[tall pine]

He is also buying used and from eBay though.

So keep that into account for the costs.

[fresh timber]

yeah, whats wrong with that?

half the damn time when u buy from the right people its not even touched

[tall pine]

Nothing wrong with it.

[silver sparrow]

anything can realisticly be refurbed. id rather go used and just do some maintenance on it for cheap

[tall pine]

Just more realistic to base prices off new.

[silver sparrow]

not like i get much for buying new anyways

[fresh timber]

why? thats now the price your paying

i think u should price it based on what YOU pay

[tall pine]

I budget for new than look for used/refurbished where I can.

Leads to a much better shopping and building experience where corners aren't cut.

[fresh timber]

look at bank, see if u can afford, buy

[tall pine]

But yes if you shop it right you can make a decent beginner loop for about $500.

[silver sparrow]

my take home yearly income is going to be basically doubled, so im preparing to do some things ive been wanting to do since some stuff is aging

[fresh timber]

lucky you have multiply income sources

[tall pine]

@silver sparrow what are you even trying to watercool?

[silver sparrow]

since no realistic gpu id care about has come out recently i would be going for a asrock phantom gaming 7900xtx, with a 9800x3d

[tall pine]

Solid choice.

Do you dare do a Delid?

That would make custom water cooling worth it.

[fresh timber]

o cant even buy my GPU waterblock :/

tarrifs

[tall pine]

About 30c average drop in temps compared to a very good AIO.

[fresh timber]

i dont wanna know import cost

i want itttttttttttt

[silver sparrow]

no other real want to have it water cooled other than

1. its a challenge and i like challenges

2. it gives me a chance to finally have RGB choices for my gpu again as my gpu color has been stuck at cyan

and for 3. i dont care about any kind of performance improvement, this pc is a art piece i look at on my desk, whatever i do could decrease the performance, but i am at such a level to where i am getting so much fps, theres no difference in perception . i stopped caring about perf improvements when i had a 3600x, and a 3070. i have since upgraded to a 5600x, then a 5800x, and from the 3070 to the 7900xtx, have i seen any real improvement since doing that then? Nope, i just do it for the enjoyment of the process

[fresh timber]

lmfao hellhound user

[silver sparrow]

hellhound?

[fresh timber]

stuck cyan, thats powercolors thing

[tall pine]

Alright well if your going to do a water loop without delidding the CPU then I insist on getting one of these two blocks.

[silver sparrow]

yeah idk, the gpu software just stopped interacting with the RGB siding of it, so my theme is stuck at blue

[fresh timber]

reinstall

[tall pine]

1. Alphacool AM5 Apex CPU Waterblock (best block without Delid because the fins are physically shifted to where the hotspots are for AM5)

2. Alphacool AM5 Core CPU Waterblock of budget becomes a issue. Similar performance.

[silver sparrow]

nah you dont get it, this cant be controlled with any rgb softwares i try and use with it, not even the custom ones can alter the color anymore, it broke

[fresh timber]

intel block when

my 13600kf wants to pull 260w with out throttle

[silver sparrow]

ooooo apex 1? that thing looks nice

[fresh timber]

omg its a wild umbreon

[lone mango]

my 9060 xt idling 3w

[silver sparrow]

i wonder how much idle the 5090 has

if its a lot less, it might be actually worth it for me to get it, since the 7900xtx has such a large base usage, i could switch to save electricity cost

[fresh timber]

howw

my 9070xt and 7700xt idles at 50w+

they need to fix the stupid idle problem

[lone mango]

Are you overclocking you vram

[fresh timber]

no this is just stock

vram never downclocks

like.. never

[lone mango]

how many monitor

[silver sparrow]

3 monitors causes it to just run a stupid amount of power, which imo is just stupid

[fresh timber]

two

[silver sparrow]

any more than 1 causes my 7900xtx to run more power

[fresh timber]

i have 4 outputs, ima use two

how hard is it to run a 720p 60hz display AMD

[lone mango]

the vram elevates to a higher power state because of the amount of pixels that it would update

if it was at idle clocks the amount of data wouldnt "fit" is the best way i can put it

so it runs at a higher clock

[fresh timber]

you have to update a static imaeg?

[lone mango]

no

[fresh timber]

i understand why my idle is high when im using my 240hz and 165hz monitor, but not the 240hz and 60hz

[silver sparrow]

yeah thats just stupid, any other gpu wouldnt start using that much power running 3 monitors

[fresh timber]

fr

my 9070xt is ALOT more powerful too

it shouldnt struggle

[lone mango]

i am kinda cheating though

[silver sparrow]

the 9070xt isnt more powerful than the 7900xtx iirc

[lone mango]

integrated graphics on second monitor

[lone mango]

and amd fixed the high idle issue so idk why you still have it

[silver sparrow]

radeon chickened out and didn't go for a 5090 competitor

[fresh timber]

CAP

[fresh timber]

its getting closer with recent drivers

[silver sparrow]

they did until it broke again

[lone mango]

reviews show the 9060 xt using low power with more than one monitor hooked up

[fresh timber]

yeah 9070xt doesnt do that

[lone mango]

i havent looked at 9070 xt yet i only know of my card

[lone mango]

brutal

[lone mango]

they literally cannot because of the architecture

rumor has it that this was a failed chiplet generation

[fresh timber]

its funny, the 7700xt had a high idle power when it released, they fixed the problem and it was still high for me

[lone mango]

if you had a 5090 competitor you have to add a third 9060 xt to the two 9060 xt dies on the package

it would be a ridiculously long die

[fresh timber]

then i got a 240hz monitor and uhhhhhh, yeah

7700xt cannot do 1440p 240

i dobuht 9060xt can

[lone mango]

hotspot deltas are already kinda high with this generation. cant imagine what 3 navi 44s stuck together would be like

[fresh timber]

mines is lower than my 7700xt tho

7700xt hit 110c :))

[sinful blade]

My 9060xt is gonna do 1080p for now

[lone mango]

they would have to design a completely new die and they will probably not do this

[fresh timber]

ur 5700x will work overtime

[lone mango]

tru

[lone mango]

if it has good response times it should be good at lower refresh rates still

at least you will have very smooth desktop experience

[sinful blade]

Why

[fresh timber]

1080p

[fresh timber]

NOT ENOUGH

i paid for 240 I GET 240

[silver sparrow]

i do both 1080 and 1440p with the 7900xtx, i really need the cpu upgrade to push for the refresh rate im trying to hit though, the m27q has 170hz, and getting that its kinda difficult with only a 5800x

[lone mango]

with what i play i could prob do 1440p 240

i cap at 200 with my 6700 xt i should increase

[fresh timber]

i need a new cpu to get 240

alot of games are capping at 200fps

[lone mango]

zen 3

[arctic lily]

what up chat

[fresh timber]

5700x isnt slow

just your playing 1080p

[sinful blade]

I only want 1080p at 144hz

[silver sparrow]

i kinda wanna try like a high refresh rate 4k oled display

[lone mango]

couldnt a 6700 xt do that

before i got my 1440p monitor the 6700 xt was lightning fast at 1080p

[frosty sinew]

1440p 144hz?

I mean like probably barely

I do 1080p 165hz at all high

[lone mango]

i was saying for 1080p

[lone mango]

it is pretty fast for 1080p yeah

[fresh timber]

1440p when

[lone mango]

https://a.co/d/dB5k8z5

it is pretty smeary so you gotta turn on overdrive but i dont see any ghosting at level 2 and it is pretty clear now

even at low refesh rates as well

[fresh timber]

my friends gf got that

is overdrive on by default

[lone mango]

no

only issue i have is the menu it has aint that good

[fresh timber]

LMFAO

so she doesnt have overdrive

[lone mango]

but if you dont switch between inputs a lot then it doesnt matter too much if the menu is bad because you just set your settings and forget it

[lone mango]

yeah she basically has motion blur on without actually having motion blur on

[fresh timber]

she thinks its smoother

i mean its better than 144hz buttttt

i told her boyfriend to turn it on

she struggles to plug usb in

[lone mango]

it is smooth and crisp because 25" but yeah the blurriness is brutal

[lone mango]

it may vary between monitors

maybe hers will ghost more at level 2

[fresh timber]

why cant they tune this automaticly

she knows less about tech than naht

like alot less

[lone mango]

idk still worth it though because from what i remember level 1 didnt do much

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

lol idk but they calibrate in the factory at least

the colors are so deep its crazy

[fresh timber]

my monitor had wack settings when i got it

by default it was super dimn,. no overdrive 🤮

[frosty sinew]

yeah its fine lol

[fresh timber]

i had to go ahead and change everything

[lone mango]

what if i changed the graphics card while the computer is in sleep

[fresh timber]

try hibernation its turned off

[lone mango]

i think that might still trip it up because it is saving the previous session

is there?

[obsidian warren]

I have 0$ and I want to buy a gaming laptop with this budget

[tall pine]

It's a lot more power efficient at lower speeds.

[lone mango]

chromebook

[tall pine]

So it's a trade off, you can have high speed and ridiculous power draw during use or moderate speeds with very good efficiency.

[obsidian warren]

its a good deal lmao

it is

its just that it is discounted so much

the fact that it is that low means they were banking on people buying it

you

hate them cause of how they look?

huh?

you pay 300 but to get the "discount" you have to get something else

[acoustic palm]

the encoder?

[fresh timber]

lmfao fake deal

[lone mango]

i think he means fsr

[acoustic palm]

(vp4300 lite on newegg)

thats a monitor or a color gradient thing

yes

[lone mango]

the only difference is that either one of the two have a slightly more greenish tint but this is nothing

[acoustic palm]

thats a model thing

that literally isnt

amd vs nvidia

imo hellhound spectral is the single best looking gpu

and thats amd

[lone mango]

the monitor is slightly warmer, its not a big deal

you can turn down the green one or two clicks on your monitor settings

i can tell

[acoustic palm]

for gaming value? no

for the best card ever? sure

[lone mango]

i am not

[acoustic palm]

ok?

so

get a 5090 then

or an rtx 6000 pro

for what

rt?

only high end cards can run that

and 5070 and lower dont got the power or vram for that

same on my card

thats not rt

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

ok, im just saying nvidia is overpriced

cause it is

my card preforms the same as a 5070ti for 200$ less

?

[lone mango]

me getting 30% performance increase in minecraft because linux and can overclock on linux because amd support is

there is no reason

You have to get an api key with whichever provider you want to use and the offline everything ai thing is not available on linux
