If support gets good, I would get one of those dual B580 cards in a heart beat

hoary zodiac
#

Intel could probably have a AMD style comeback if they were 100% efficient with their resources

#

put the right people in the right positions

#

make a good product

#

and boom

fair onyx
#

Battlemage has been the only good GPU release in like... 4 years I swear

hoary zodiac
#

eh

#

I wouldn't say it's "good"

fair onyx
#

Battlemage? It rocks

hoary zodiac
#

just shows more hope for the gpu market than... whatever the hell nvidia and amd are pulling

wicked oriole
#

Ok all dumb question im rocking a 5090 and 9950x3d, have had it plugged into the outlet this whole time but I want a surge protector. Can I get something like this to get me by or do I need one of those UPS systems, and what is the point of it? https://a.co/d/iE0BPJy

Its on a 1200W psu as well

fair onyx
#

More performance than their well established competitors for 30% less, or more

#

Hell if all I did was game, I'd have a B580

hoary zodiac
#

I'd say the drivers need some work

#

Intel recently have just been "I'll wait until next gen" for me

#

They show a lot of promise but they're not really there yet

fair onyx
#

For sure, but they have made more progress there than AMD has in a decade 😅

hoary zodiac
#

yeah but I wouldn't really be an early adopter

#

just like I wouldn't buy a 1700x in 2017

fair onyx
#

It's incredible the speed of which Intel has improved their drivers

hoary zodiac
#

well here's the thing

#

I have a feeling next gen they'll have gotten their crap together

#

and the performance of their cpu/gpus would be way better

#

Imo it's a better investment to wait a bit

fair onyx
#

I think celestial is gonna be mean, yeah. I think if they didn't can the b780, they would be a genuine competitor this gen

hoary zodiac
#

Better be

fair onyx
hoary zodiac
#

Nvidia and AMD needs to be dethroned

fair onyx
#

Having 50+ cores on the i9 is insane haha

hoary zodiac
#

Arrow Lake shows a lot of promise

#

it's just a crap product

frigid stag
#

If it’s chiplets, can bet it’s doa for gaming

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

honestly don't really care about gaming

#

I'd rather have a solid overall chip than an x3d

#

If it's 50% less

#

for 80% of the performance

#

can't complain

fresh timber
#

9950x3d is solid

frigid stag
#

It might be because of the chiplets but amd CPU’s still struggle with running 8khz

hoary zodiac
#

it might or it might not

#

Either way I wouldn't really buy intel's higher end chips for gaming anyways

frigid stag
#

It probably is cause even am5 can’t run it stable, meanwhile any modern ish intel cpu can

hoary zodiac
#

I'd rather have the single threaded performance of an i5

#

than a bunch of cores that do nothing for a purely gaming use case

frigid stag
#

It’s just not as well known cause most people don’t buy high end mice with that high polling

hoary zodiac
#

I'm hoping for 9700x like performance on an i5

#

at least in gaming

frigid stag
#

I mean 14600k does beat that in gaming

#

Single thread and multi core cause of the 14 cores

hoary zodiac
#

does it now?

frigid stag
#

Yea

fresh timber
#

My 13600kf beats 9700x

#

Just run 5.5ghz

frigid stag
#

In gaming it’s barely any faster than a 7700x, that’s why they called it zen 5%

fresh timber
#

i love beating 7700x

frigid stag
#

It’s still lower ipc than 12 gen iirc but they have high clock speeds

fresh timber
#

and yet, if given a choice would swap to a 7700x

frigid stag
#

Why

rancid juniper
#

Best of both worlds

fresh timber
#

given a choice means its free or super cheap kekw

frigid stag
#

Lol

#

Inteldip chiplets vs zen 5%

hoary zodiac
#

I'm a bit skeptical tbh

#

Arrow Lake is a good proof of concept

#

it's just a really bad product

fresh timber
#

arrow lake is good for the right people

fresh timber
#

@royal crow is arrow lake good

royal crow
#

Yeah

dense locust
#

Don’t you know
5% is a generational upgrade now

frigid stag
royal crow
#

Best part is igpu tbh

fresh timber
royal crow
#

Intel xe is goated af

fresh timber
#

oo they gave you IRIS XE??

hoary zodiac
#

oh wow

royal crow
#

Yee

fresh timber
#

bro why are people doggin gon arrow lake 💀 the igpu is good and useable

hoary zodiac
#

the 14600K is actually within the 7700X margin

fresh timber
#

i know. i own a 13600kf

frigid stag
#

It’s faster

fresh timber
#

i told you already

hoary zodiac
#

I'd say depends

frigid stag
#

And a lot faster in multi core

hoary zodiac
#

I'd say it depends on the game

#

or use case

dense locust
#

I guess 3d vcache is the only reason amd wins in gaming

hoary zodiac
#

multi core it'd blow 7700x out of the water

hoary zodiac
frigid stag
#

Skylake ++ overclocked vs new CPU’s

#

Discord won’t load the image

dense locust
#

People do say get amd for future chip support

hoary zodiac
#

honestly

dense locust
#

Which is a good reason

hoary zodiac
#

I'm a bit skeptical on future chip support

rancid juniper
#

Intel gotta drop that 2 gen per socket crap at some point

#

They keep making new sockets like every 2 years or so

hoary zodiac
#

Whenever I recommend AMD for upgradability I make sure that the 7800X3D would be a upgrade from whatever chip the user's coming from

#

and it often is for a purely gaming use case* (depends on game)

fresh timber
#

7800x3d is a upgrad over a 7700x kekw

frigid stag
fresh timber
#

overclocking is free performance ngl

hoary zodiac
#

I've seen AMD do anti-consumer shenanigans

fresh timber
#

im almost 7900x level

hoary zodiac
#

I have as little trust in AMD as I do intel or nvidia

fresh timber
#

the companys dont care about your trust btw

frigid stag
#

Lagging

#

7900x is multi ccd

dense locust
#

Amd is the most anti consumer with gpus

fresh timber
#

your first mistake, trusting a for profit company

dense locust
#

They follow a lot of what nvidia does wrong

hoary zodiac
#

Here's the thing

rancid juniper
#

Still find it wild how strong a 5800x3d is, an am4 cpu

dense locust
#

Yet don’t have the market share to be able to do it

hoary zodiac
#

They tried to go back on the word on supporting zen 3 on b450

#

didn't work because... well

#

Asrock and MSI didn't care

fresh timber
#

arrow lake is shit huh? BOOM MARKETSHARE

hoary zodiac
#

While they didn't succeed

#

It still shows that they would if they could

dense locust
#

Would if they could
Describes most companies tbh

hoary zodiac
#

That's why I don't trust AMD

fresh timber
#

aint intel still 70% of the worlds cpu 💀

hoary zodiac
#

Whenever they reach the top they start pulling some crap

#

Intel has an incentive to not screw over the consumer for now

dense locust
hoary zodiac
#

So unless they're actually stupid they'd probably try to make an actual good product

fresh timber
#

the governemnt will make sure intel doesnt fail

hoary zodiac
#

8GB vram is the new quad core fr fr

dense locust
#

It’s like a quad core if amd also decided quad cores are ok

rancid juniper
hoary zodiac
#

AMD also made "quad cores"

fresh timber
#

hes choosing to pick on intel for some reason

rancid juniper
#

Once you reach the top why spend so much R&D money when people will still buy your stuff?

hoary zodiac
#

Well here's the thing

#

People trust AMD too much

rancid juniper
#

Build low, sell high

dense locust
#

I hope someone beats nvidia
Not out of business but just enough for there to be competition

rancid juniper
fresh timber
rancid juniper
#

These corporations first and foremost are not your friend

dense locust
hoary zodiac
#

I've also seen people just flat out deny that intel are decent options

#

which...

#

is just stupid

#

They exaggerate how bad intel cpus are

fresh timber
#

ill wait for AMD cpus to burn... and ill wait for their gpu to burn

dense locust
idle nexus
#

don't AMD CPUs burn on Asrock boards? lol

fresh timber
#

yeah kekw but thats not a flaw with the cpu or design

hoary zodiac
#

to be fair that's an asrock skill issue

#

not an AMD one

dense locust
idle nexus
#

lol right right

fresh timber
#

intel burning is a intel skill issue kekw and nvidia burning is nvidia skill issue

dense locust
idle nexus
#

I hate my Asrock board tbh

hoary zodiac
#

I also really hate the "just spend more money" motif that's going on atm

worn wave
idle nexus
#

first & last Asrock board fr

fresh timber
#

lol

hoary zodiac
#

"oh just spend another $100 for a ryzen"

fresh timber
#

id do it tbh

hoary zodiac
#

"just spend another $100 for a 9070"

fresh timber
#

id do that tbh

dense locust
fresh timber
#

i spent $200 more just for a 9070xt kekw i wanted the XT in it

misty sparrow
hoary zodiac
#

especially when spending that extra money... doesn't get you much in return

#

you're either getting the same performance/$

dense locust
#

I think they still don’t know what’s causing the cpus to fail

hoary zodiac
#

or not that much improvements

fresh timber
#

bros talking to a bunch of peopel who have over spent on something

frigid stag
#

Tbf the entry level cards are pretty mid

fresh timber
#

do you like my $800 9070xt kekw

frigid stag
#

5070 ti pricing

hoary zodiac
#

The only reason I wouldn't recommend intel

dense locust
#

I overspend on my pc

hoary zodiac
#

is this bs

fresh timber
#

why would i buy a 5070ti kekw

idle nexus
#

same

pliant berry
#

turns out i might have a dead dimm slot in one of my systems

rancid juniper
#

Tbh I picked an AMD mobile chip because of their efficiency "claims" and performance paired with a decent igpu to boot. I would've picked Intel unless it's core ultra 200

hoary zodiac
hoary zodiac
#

motherboard prices are stupid rn

#

for ddr5 boards

fresh timber
frigid stag
#

Cause it’s better, and more features

fresh timber
frigid stag
#

If they’re the same price everyone says the nvidia card

hoary zodiac
dense locust
#

YouTuber: amd is the goat
Also YouTuber: has nvidia gpu

hoary zodiac
#

out of curiosity

fresh timber
frigid stag
fresh timber
#

9070xt is faster technicly

hoary zodiac
#

10% more or less

frigid stag
#

5070 ti 10% faster

fresh timber
#

my 9070xt was $50 less than a 5070ti kekw

hoary zodiac
#

is it 10% for the cheapest model compared to the cheapst

#

because you could have price overlaps

#

and considering stocks

fresh timber
#

idk, i still find "msrp" 9070xts all the time

hoary zodiac
rancid juniper
#

Also YouTuber: "don't buy this!!!"

What they actually did after posting the video: buys

fresh timber
#

the price sgo all over to just say this

frigid stag
#

Idk sometimes they vary

hoary zodiac
#

realistically

hoary zodiac
#

you could get a week where they're the same price

#

just depends on stock

fresh timber
#

whats wrong with suggesting a amd card to your viewers but persoanlly prefering a nvidia one?

rancid juniper
dense locust
fresh timber
#

im greatful the youtubers got a foot out their ass and reocmmend stuff based of facts not opinions

hoary zodiac
#

Youtubers also shill harmful stuff like fum

fresh timber
#

FUM?

rancid juniper
#

Fum?

hoary zodiac
#

It's that stupid vape substitute

fresh timber
#

oh a vape with out vapor

pliant berry
#

well hopefully if i get no errors now ill just be stuck with a weird number

rancid juniper
dense locust
#

Honey is probably the least bad things YouTubers have shilled for

fresh timber
#

im ngl, fum looks more safe than a real vape dawg

#

it looks like a device made to help you quit

#

it is

hoary zodiac
#

or a scam water bottle

idle nexus
#

I should probably get one

#

heckin juul

dense locust
fresh timber
#

yeah fume is the least bad thing youtubers shill

hoary zodiac
#

honey doesn't give you health issues

fresh timber
#

its not even bad when used right kekw

hoary zodiac
#

so yeah I'm inclined to agree

rancid juniper
#

Vape is vape

dense locust
#

Remember that straight up scam where you bought like a foot of land and got to be a “lord or lady”

rancid juniper
#

It's bad

fresh timber
#

fume is clearly to help people quit vaping

hoary zodiac
#

You can rent Liechtenstein

rancid juniper
#

What a wild time

dense locust
rancid juniper
hoary zodiac
#

lol is he defending vaping

fresh timber
#

💀

rancid juniper
#

Aight bro

dense locust
#

Probably smokes

fresh timber
#

im defending fume because they even say its to help people quit

rancid juniper
#

That's what they all say

dense locust
#

Ah yes nobody has ever lied in marketing claims

fresh timber
#

way better than using a eletronic vape

hoary zodiac
#

The only reason I don't hate vapers as much as smokers is that at least they're not mobile cancer emitters

fresh timber
rancid juniper
#

What

fresh timber
#

if u dont belive fum get some nicotine gum so you can stop being addicted to a ciggerete or vape

dense locust
#

I got reminded of this meme

fresh timber
#

another way to quit

rancid juniper
#

Why would we want to try that?

#

😂

fresh timber
#

they are useful to help them get off

rancid juniper
#

Ok

dense locust
#

“There’s no tobacco”
ignores the 200g of nicotine

idle nexus
#

how is nicotine worse than caffeine

#

always wondered that

proud jackal
#

mmm drugs

hoary zodiac
#

depends on how you use nicotine

#

If you use it as a tool to quit smoking

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

With a highly regulated schedule

fresh timber
#

you can get addicted to anything

hoary zodiac
#

it can be beneficial

idle nexus
#

it isn't? lol how many people can't function until they have their morning coffee?

fresh timber
#

they have underlying problems with sleep that they are medicating with caffee 💀

rancid juniper
#

People thinking that others can get out of addiction easily

icy ore
fresh timber
#

how to become unaddicted to caffee, suffer and drink less and less

hoary zodiac
#

the vast majority of addicts can't just quit

rancid juniper
#

Your own body literally battles you to get that fix

pliant berry
#

I have a coffee addiction but I still manage to forget some days

rancid juniper
#

Hence the term withdrawal

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

ya doesn't your brain like create more receptors or something?

fresh timber
#

it may suck but you have to slow down intake over a period of time

hoary zodiac
#

At least caffeine is generally more beneficial than nicotine

dense locust
#

We conclude that the combined administration of caffeine and nicotine shows additive effects on cardiovascular parameters during baseline conditions but less than additive effects during sympathoadrenal stimulation
Ah yes, I have no idea what this is saying

fresh timber
#

people just happen to rely off it and brain now wants more

hoary zodiac
#

it really depends on your body

rancid juniper
#

And consumption

hoary zodiac
#

I limit myself to one cup of coffee per day

fresh timber
#

irrc people with adhd can get addicted to nicotine and caffine easier because the dopamine rush they crave from it

hoary zodiac
#

I can get by with not consuming coffee by having adequate sleep

fresh timber
#

youre not drinking enough to be addicted

hoary zodiac
#

Caffeine is significantly less addictive than nicotine

fresh timber
#

whats next? they put nicotine in monsters

rancid juniper
hoary zodiac
#

oh

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

I forgot that energy drinks are a thing

#

yeah no

#

just no

fresh timber
#

monster is amazing

#

coffee taste ass

hoary zodiac
#
  1. They have an excessive amount of caffeine
  2. They have an excessive amount of sugar
  3. Coffee is cheaper
rancid juniper
dense locust
#

I tried a red-bull recently

dense locust
#

This is when I realized

pliant berry
#

I don't think i've ever tried energy drinks besides a gatorade once every few months

dense locust
#

I don’t like energy drinks

hoary zodiac
#

the excessive amount of caffeine is a problem in particular

fresh timber
rancid juniper
#

I only drink gatorade

#

Nothing else

fresh timber
#

drink too much water and see what happens

hoary zodiac
#

pumping excessive amounts of caffeine into one's body would have adverse effects over time

idle nexus
#

lol every processed food is scientifically designed to addict you

hoary zodiac
#

compared to say

#

one cup of rational coffee

#

with say 15g of coffee grounds

rancid juniper
fresh timber
#

and coffee once again taste like shit

hoary zodiac
#

that's a safe method of consumption

rancid juniper
#

Why you think the obesity rate is so damn high?

hoary zodiac
#

and the side affects would relatively be not that adverse

#

and also won't have stupid amounts of sugar in it

fresh timber
#

or medical problems

dense locust
#

1 chicken finger at work is like 145 calories

rancid juniper
#

Massive amount of sugar

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

The sugar isn't the worst part

#

it's corn syrup

fresh timber
#

put the fork down

hoary zodiac
#

that's way worse than sugar

#

not downplaying sugar but like

rancid juniper
#

High fructose corn syrup

fresh timber
#

i live in america, when will i become fat

hoary zodiac
#

sugar's already bad enough

#

but corn syrup?

#

💀

fresh timber
#

i jsut consumed an entire bag of sour patches.. twice

rancid juniper
#

That's like in almost everything no?

idle nexus
#

been fighting it myself lol

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

Luckily I live in a country with rational ideas of nutrition

fresh timber
#

we have ratioanl ideas, nobody just follows it

idle nexus

Hello @trail dragon! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

fresh timber

american for 18.9 years kekw

hoary zodiac

When most of the affordable food has unnecessary and unhealthy crap added to it

It makes it really hard to eat healthy

Have you tried using ethernet

Dont need Oculus Link app for SteamVR. I use ALVR (free Virtual Desktop) which uses SteamVR as the VR launcher. Dont need the app open. Some of the Oculus VR services are running, but they are always running regardless of Oculus App, SteamVR, ALVR/VirtualDesktop/SteamLink, etc being open.

Valve put a Steam Link app on the Meta Quest store that allows you to stream SteamVR if you link it to a computer running Steam and it's completely free

POE ethernet to USB PD/FC/QC/etc with data is prolly some custom solution. Likely need to split out POE power and do regular ethernet to USB, then do a USB merging cable with power. Would need some DCDC step down converter for POE power to USB power.
It's probably better to just do smth like this img

fresh timber
# north crescent POE ethernet to USB PD/FC/QC/etc with data is prolly some custom solution. Likel...
#

prob not this one if 100mbps is too little for you

north crescent
fresh timber
#

combine both, easy

north crescent
#

The img I gave above already gets power in, so can just choose any random ethernet to USB adapter

#

Dont need some active power injector thing like that

fresh timber
#

at that point no use in POE, just run power and ethernet

#

id rather opt for seperate tbh, and zip tie the cables toghter or something

Dont need multi cable to HMD

now that setup makes sense

now you can stream to your hearts content with out issue

But still, I would go wireless. Cheap 160MHz/2x2 wireless access point like 1m/2m away from VR place and then just like a 50Wh+ battery in pocket

wireless kekw this is 6ghz

i love when 6ghz gets 5ghz speeds

i cant tell whats shittier, the ap or my laptop

north crescent
# fresh timber i love when 6ghz gets 5ghz speeds

You get 160MHz channel width regardless of 5GHz or 6GHz unless you're on WiFi 7. But yeah, you're prolly being killed by poor coverage signal (lowers QAM, basically how link speed is dynamic based on WAP connection quality)

fresh timber
#

haha, my router only lets 5ghz get 80mhz and 6ghz gets the 160mhz that i cant confirm on my laptop sense it reports it as 20mhz

#

but i know for a fact it supports 160mhz cause its wifi 7 💀

#

routr is 6e tho

yeah, but my wifi card supports it 💀

im replacing it for a intel 6e later, i gota make sure its not a laptop issue

wireless can never beat wired ping

velvet summit
#

That's why most people have a dedicated ap

fresh timber
#

that still wont mean the ping will be better

#

might even be worst with conjestion

velvet summit
#

It would be miles better than not having one

And the ping is usually still under 10ms

#

Plus the additional latency from the pc, but that is there with both wired and wireless

fresh timber
#

idk if miles better is the world youre looking for, depends heavily on your setup, in regards to ping, 10ms seems a bit high for vr use

#

proper wired can be under 1ms 💀

velvet summit
#

Index gets about 4ms

fresh timber
#

whats the jitter

velvet summit
#

Probably within 2ms

Anyone here drive electric cars ? i would not mind getting one someday but as it stands they are still pretty trash.... if they ever get solid state batteries they might be worth it... as those can go like 500-600 miles and charge to full in like 10-15M.

pliant berry
#

I am also waiting for batteries to get better

craggy shoal
#

I really wouldn't mind them as much if they didn’t destroy the power grid and if we could ever finish testing those solid state batteries

#

EVs are pointless atm

#

(I also still prefer the rawness of an ICE vehicle)

#

I like my GTI :)

pliant berry
#

ff

worn wave
#

Destroy the power grid? What?

#

Time of use pricing can relatively easily be implemented to incentivize charging overnight

pliant berry
#

well yeah evs use a lot of power. im pretty sure there were reports saying that most of the us power grid couldn't handle if a significant portion switched to using EVs

worn wave
#

Check myth 4

#

California has fairly high EV adoption and they use about 1% of total power. Obviously the mass majority don't have EVs yet but as long as the adoption isn't instant we'll be just fine

pliant berry
#

yeah but that kind of staggering can only go so far, to be clear im not saying it's going to collapse the power grid. but it ain't looking pretty considering the attempted switch to green energy and rise of ai along with it

#

exactly, more of a problem if it was an instant change

#

which it won't be, probably

worthy meteor
#

It's just a problem of the duck curve switching to renewables and adopting evs at the same time

#

Production just doesn't line up with consumption times, that's why storage is such a big issue

fresh timber
#

evs dont make loud gti sounds

so evs suck

My power supply smells like a grade one electrical fire and you want me to try and turn it on again?

fresh timber
#

if your breaker isn’t tripping while pc not plugged in, found the problem

fair onyx
#

It IS tripping. My dead power supply is tripping the entire circuit

tranquil pebble

The circuit breaker will likely prevent fires but better safe than sorry with electrical

So much for buying an A tier power supply

How long is Corsair's warranty?

velvet summit

Most PSUs are 3 years at least, usually like 5

I'd let that air out next to a window or something

I genuinely can't even think of what could have happened

especially based on the description of the smell

I bought Corsair so I didn't have a bomb in my PC

#

Lotta good that did me

tranquil pebble
#

I have an Enermax that has been serving me well

fair onyx
#

I don't even want to RMA it. I don't want another one of these PSU's if it's gonna happen again

tranquil pebble
#

I would check the system itself for any shorts too. A short on the mobo can do that to PSUs.

You can now use XeSS FG and its low latency feature (like reflex) on AMD GPUS and older nvidia cards
