They also have a really good trade node so
I'd practically have almost full control of northern italy if I annex Piedmont and Genoa
Yeah there’s so much more he’s a former gang member but his old gang still respects him to a high degree, but in one of his jobs he tasks the player to take out a high ranking member of that gang… who respects the padre a lot btw… calls himself a man of god but the only god he knows of is the eddies
And its so conflicting cuz his earlier jobs are that of dealing justice
Slang for eurodollars currency in the world of cyberpunk
America’s economy falls cuz of corporations fighting with each other and think europe establishes the currency
For the world
I think the real world has the opposite problem
Corporations don't fight each other they just sit in their monopolies
Oh and the president of the version of the US in cyberpunk is technically the ceo of a corp which is in control of the US government btw
fun fact
Oh they fought fought in cyberpunk, with nukes and cyborg soldiers and such
Washington chose the title President because it'd be like the president of a company
a modest title
... for the era
Yeah but Washington wasn't power hungry
Is history repeating itself?
And it really was just supposed to be a modest title
August invented the title of princeps as a way for him to be perceived as a man of the people
Yeah apparently augustus was the same
Well no
Washington intended the position to be a more modest one
Separated from the image of a head of a state such as a monarch
Augustus had a facade
He took titles that were supposed to be modest but they were not in reality
Yeah he had to after what happened to julius
Well no
I’m listening
It's simply because he wanted the power
Every political action he took in that era was to weaken the senate
And consolidate power in himself
He still needed the senate for legitimacy
That's why he took on a "modest" appearance
That's why with later emperors they just dropped the act
His daughter’s story is wild tho ngl 💀
Because the senate at that point were quite powerless
@hoary zodiac do u have any generic belief some normal kid might have when he was young but then lost in adulthood
Need to make up smth for a stupidly personal assignment
Uh
Washington did not choose the title of President
More generic
Extremely boring
Npc level
Not some cyberpunk rebel path level belief
What?
Not radical
You shouldn've specified that
You asked a generic question and got a generic answer
Oh really
Only got an hour left bruh
Uh
See here's the thing
Anything radical I can't say
I lost those beliefs because they're unacceptable
Or just unrealistic
Gimme some
.
They might exploit that information in the future

If i put in my actual beliefs and why i lost those beliefs shits gonna look ducked and incredibly sad
I might even be referred to the dreaded therapist
Put in "Little Timmy"
Whats little timmy
Using the word president had been used beforehand for numerous positions. Governors sometimes went by president and Congress had a President before the Constitution was drafted. It is a more generic term for anyone who presided over something, so when the convention was going over names, they went with President because it was the most generic, least controversial name they could've chosen.
Generic placeholder character
Ah I see
So less controversial than say
Prime Minister

Ah duck it im gonna put in kindness and empathy

Generic enough and not incredibly ducked up and sad
That makes you sound like a sociopath

After the first election there was a debate over what to call the President when addressing them, with the Senate wanting to glorify the address and the House wanting to stick to modesty and eventually the House won out, which is why the President is addressed as Mr. President
I mean I have no empathy but still

I hate assignments that cross a student’s personal boundaries

Just make me read some shit romance poem like my westen civ prof did bruh
Imagine not being called "The Right Honourable, The Earl of Liverpool, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland"

Genuinely duck lancelot of the cart btw, the most incoherent story i ever read with equally as shit world building romance and character depths, my head was splitting by the time i was done with it and almost bombed my review essay on it

i made this
Have you considered just making stuff up
And yes i put in random bullshit on the essay
I have tried… idk how to make up stuff that are “normal”
Imagine not reading Pride and Prejudice
ChatGPT
Cyberpunk has weapons that are named those
And yes they have synergistic abilities with each other
literally watching it right now
They can work in tandem
How does this relate to Jane Austen
If u get a headshot with one weapon the other wont consume ammo
Who tf is jane austen
author of pride and prejudice
mon dieu
Oh duck 19th century england…
lol
borderlands 4 tomorrow.
No i mean like if its a romance story i think i alr have a inkling of what the plot maybe about

To honor we call you not press you like slaves (much)
The plot is "woman goes to houses"

So now women take pilgrimages to houses decorated up in Janeite fashion
Tis a silly fandom

Mmmm
clean

Oh sorry just noticed that you're a woman 💀
huh?
Disrespect unintended
Does TX require a front plate and you didn't have a mount?
Tbh I forgot front tow hook holes existed
I took it off for a second actually. Actually gonna take it back off but only until I put the bike rack on the back of the car (rear plate is basically invisible with the bike rack, need at least a front plate to stay somewhat legal lol)
There's holes in the front of the car now 😭
@trim bison you cross stitch?





I saw on the tiktok
How many times did you repost this? 💀
I’m nosy
Quality looks like it's been reposted on Instagram multiple times over the past four years lol
i took it on my 1080p secondary monitor
Oh also the screenshot is compressed I forgot

56 clams......

wifi 7 moment
lol I have a bunch of Wi-Fi NICs somewhere
(only like three apparently)
lol
I doubt most of the people in this server have seen a 2242 SSD
Very uncommon
Came from an Asus laptop
Actually I think there's another 2242 SSD in that laptop lmao
Imma open it up and see
Most people in this server prolly havent seen a 2280 tbh
Thanks Asus for using non-capacitive screws that are like three different sizes
I thought those were ants for a second
Bruh I thought it was a 2242
My apartment has very aggressive towing policies
And there’s this guy who’s been an ass for days with parking
Guess who got towed tonight
Oh wait that’s the Lenovo laptop
(Time to dig into that as well)
WOW THANKS LENOVO FOR BEING EVEN QUIRKIER
(I actually prefer these)
WTF IS THIS DRIED UP LIQUID
IT SMELLS
IT'S STICKY
😏
Found the 2242 though

All my laptops I have dealt with have only used phillips
Lowkey want a ThinkPad just to put Mint on it lol
how else can the poor thing breathe 
shid you're right
I have two asus aspires and an hp Chromebook I need to repair at some point
Old****
ASUS doesn't make an Aspire
acer
unembedded jay peg !
dull cord
ok now I remember why I quit playing Cyberpunk in the first place... the combat is too hard
Got a type-c Ethernet adapter and a 2.5 gig network switch and now my Internet is a lot faster
straight up couldnt get past the intro mission because I kept dying
his ass is NOT a gamer
🙏
Nice
I am I just have a very low skill ceiling
It's supposed to teach you stealth but I was bad at it and just blasted my way through while using cover.
I cant aim while using cover so yeah
There doesnt seem to be any mechanic to make that easier either
Just turn the difficulty down and you become a bullet sponge
everyone
's a gamer 😎
the game just needs cover based health regen tbh
how many dead bugs were in the loop?
I think you just need a $200 gaming mouse. That will fix your issues.
or an aim assist, that would help me loads too
Keep hacking enemies, that gives you more time to do stuff
that seems crazy to me since I have like 4 of them
between my desktop and laptop
I like 2280s because performance per dollar is good
not too hard to avoid honestly
or just overprice myself anyway because I want DRAM :3
pretty sure my latest SSD has like 4 GB of DRAM
You not alone here
I love wolfgang's input 
Imo the gun mechanics feel awful in that game, i basically either had to turn the difficulty all the way down or the graphics all the way down to make it playable
yeah fr
You game with your behind? Strange
I’ve played plenty of shooters and would say i am pretty decent but that one I felt was extremely unresponsive
you guys ever wonder if this pc hobby is ever worth it
The gunplay is weird yeah

Yes and i agreed to myself that it isn’t
spolerds
it isent :3
Cyberjunk 2077 plastic textures
yeah fr, you should give me your 4090 since its not worth it anymore
That why im still running my trusty 9900k + 3070ti
The more you buy
The more you save
Tbh im prob gonna upgrade my mac before i upgrade my gaming pc
Release your work so you can go to Borderlands 4
Game is probably mid anyway
It's probably going to be bad anyways
gonna upgrade my mom's, brother's, laptops before I upgrade my gaming pc
Some of that parkour 
I'm going to upgrade my financial status before I upgrade my PC
People keep telling me that but I'm bad at Hollow Knight and my attempt to finish it this week isn't going so well.
upgrade my old junk all in one pc I got for free before my gaming pc :3
do i need to upgrade my pc
I'll upgrade my PC when my 7900XTX feels slow
Lol ye you really have to grind it out
No, you upgrade too often
I keep dying to spikey walls and poison swamps.
do you have hardware to sell theo 
Same, the walls keep getting in the way of my car

world bollard association wins again!
Me when I crashed my parents Hyundai Elantra at the doctor's office.
a lot
Don’t worry, it gets a lot worse in silksong
can I buy some :3
i have a intel 285k system on an apex board and 4090 on a loop that is sitting unplugged in my house
I don't mind, it's just time consuming when I'm trying to get to that game.

Yeah
Arrow lake user spotted
U want be frens?
no


I have a ryzen 5 3600 in my closet waiting to be turned into a media server when my 2008 Alienware that I keep reviving fails
That Alienware has been on fire twice and exploded once but it's still going and still has the original AIO.
lol
you could extend its life by giving it light duty and transferring most of the work to the 3600
Nah, got that thing overclocked and I'm making it do work.
I do have a 1660Ti in it to do the video encoding though so the CPU isn't working too hard.
Turn to high and get free 15+% fps
Actually since it is a celshaded game turn it to like medium
Probably won’t notice anything
Hey Theo can I have one of your old GPU’s
no
Can I have your newest GPU
no
can I have your eyeballs
hiii
Can I have ** **
Did Youtube make the video control ui bigger or am I losing it?
TO WHAT?
fr
Blink twice if you’re not a bot
didnt realize this cause i just finished the battle pass, but the white ranger skin is a edit style for the green ranger instead of it being its own separate skin since in the show theyre both played by the same actor
kinda neat
Oh that’s a cool detail actually
Can somebody help me out within the new few days please? i bought a pc off new egg for 2 Grand and its just not meeting expectations for the specs that were on it, I think its getting bottle necked or something like i dont even know im not a pc guy, i got a friend who has a download to verify the specs but hes just being annoying and not responding and my brother told me to "bench" the specs to see if they're healthy and i dont even know what that means, if anyones willing to help it'd be greatly appreciated
Like if its not what i expected I'd want to be able to return it before the 30 days are up cause I'm not tryna just keep a suboptimal PC and just waste 2000$
DM me if you're interested in helping would mean alot to me! 🙏
Hello @raw forge! 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.
download the 3dmark demo on steam, run the free timespy benchmark that comes with it, and @ me with a screenshot of your score
👑
What a legend
Thank you for the fast response give me a little bit and will 100% do
i'm at work and my break is in like 2 1/2 hours so it might be a bit before i can get back to you, but plenty of people here are smart enough look at ur score and see if it's normal haha
What the hell it’s just some game lmaooo
There’s a game that just has bench mark built into it that’s funny
Let me know anytime if anyone has some 2nd opinions on this
uhhh yeah idk what im doing
i opened it and like
ide what imdoing
The fans turning into a helicopter
My PC is levitating wtf did I install bro????
Na I’m playing 😂
I’m running 50 fps so mid
I can't send images i have to dm you it
I got 5182 on steel nomad for score then 4969 when i ran it a 2nd time
is that any good
I'm just copy pasting what it says

did i get a Valid score for those Specs?
Like istg im getting rust at 120 FPS on a dead server that CANNOT be right
and im getting 60 fps FOR MINECRAFT? MINECRAFT??? WHAT?
somethings up
this is supposed to be 200fps+ for rust
stock minecraft runs pretty meh
you should get sodium
or whatever rendering pipeline optimization mod there is now that is the new one
also rust is pretty heavy on the cpu- you might wanna park some cores since your cpu is multi CCD
the latency penalty costs performance once the game uses more cores than one CCD has, requiring to use the second CCD
9900X has two CCDs, with 6 cores in each CCD
might wanna disable the extra six cores and threads to get more performance
im talking about like
minecraft
with optimization client side mods
like mods for shitter pcs to be able to run smoothly
it has to be getting bottle necked
its running same frames as my old pc that is like
basically dog shit
have you raised fps limit?
bro chill
lol
Don't know whether this has been posted here already

For 3 weeks everyone has been trying to figure out what is causing the SSD issues with the latest Microsoft Security Updates... We managed to fix ours and these new tests show the issue may actually be linked to AMD...

What abbreviations?
What is meant by "istg"
"I swear to God"
Just wait until somebody lays "6-7" on you
huh
It comes from a song and now people just say 6-7 (hand motions in the gif also signify 6-7)
idk they're just lyrics in a song
I'm former half of Gen Z so I wouldn't know 💀
It's always tiktok
And yes TikTok
The darkest pit of hell
TikTok has two sides:
- Annoying side
- Actual good side that isn't annoying (sometimes educational lol)
What always gets out and why people make fun of TikTok: the annoying side
^^ just trust me on that. TikTok actually isn't that bad lol
YouTube Shorts is worse tbh
meant for kids
Yeah but at that point I'd have to train the algorithm
Doesn't take long tbh
Fair 😭
I use it as a news source
Also it's gotten me into new hobbies
- YouTube Shorts: for kids (actually worse than TikTok tbh)
- TikTok: Either memes or hobby type of stuff (there's probably more sides idk about)
- Instagram: Racist
And then whatever Snapchat is doing 💀
I mean you can't get worse than instagram reels
Actually Facebook Reels aren't that bad either. A lot longer (I think?). Actually might be the best but then Facebook is stealing your data
Instagram comments are the best way to lose brain cells
lol yep
A lot of them are bot comments too
"😂😂😂"
"❤️❤️❤️"
"🔥🔥🔥"
The only thing you'll see in some comment sections
And then there's uh
Usually from low follower accounts too lol
People from all over the political spectrum
Usually on the ends
And never in the middle
And they're almost always equally braindead
People just hate TikTok because it used to be music.ly until ByteDance bought it (far worse than modern TikTok)
Nobody will tell you that's why they hate TikTok though
"Why do you hate TikTok?"
"It's a kid's app" (typical response)
"What's your thoughts on music.ly?"
"What's that?" (Also typical response)
Speaking of Instagram
I'm tempted to do a Stalin
And just purge my followers
Half of it are people I no longer interact with or people I have literally never seen
And I have zero idea how they even found my page
lol I purged my followers at one point
Don't regret it tbh
I actually used to have a lot of followers. But then I was halfway through getting my cybersecurity degree and I didn't like the thought that there were people who I didn't even know following me
lmaooo
I think that's about right. Best I scored with 7900X3D/4090 using slightly tweaked Win11 was 9780. I've been meaning to re-run that benchmark cuz I feel like I should be able to hit 10k at least.
lol why was I pinged for that
@grand kernel btw I think I've been overvolting. with timings on auto I've finally made it thru 3DMark11 Xtreme at 6200c52 at only 1.10 VDD/VDDQ/VDDIO with 2000 FCLK at 1.200v lol
to see if you thought that score made sense too lol
the 5070 one I mean
oh heck nvm then sorry for ping haha
the only other context I can offer is my 5900x/2080ti system my son uses scored 4067
lol no worries
6400 1:1 gets IRQ BSOD tho

Is that actually what the 17 pro is gonna look like?
Minus the colors obviously
yep, they even have their own cases as well dropping for the new series
raised island bar with raised camera bumps on the island bar
I like that
Finally got my science assignment done 🔥🔥
Oh god
dawg you name dropped

Hello Nathaniel Chat
sup
Yeah I do! I’m working on gen 2 and gen 3 Pokémon stitching right now
Gonna hang it up in my game room
The wife crochets
She has her own yarn room in our apartment 
I have a craft corner has my computer and my screens then a folding table for my diamond art and cross stitching
I have a small area where my pc sits lmao
lol my boyfriend and I have our gaming stuff set up in the living room since we don’t really just watch tv. He has 3 monitors I have 2 and we just sit opposite of each other

Those are probably fake weights lol

are we serious right now??
they are making it harder to distinguish
14nm is back on the menu
Comet lake? Wth bruh the last ones rolled off the tongue so well 😭
Also 2 hundies… wow
$200 for an i5 10400 refresh
you cannot make this up
Its joever

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
seriously though, that egregious price point + no improvements whatsoever
just a name change

lol
lmao even
What was the score? I don’t wanna watch the vid
People would be like but AMD does refreshes too and yes that's true but in ryzen's case look at the 5800x and the more recent 5800xt
5800x launched at $449.99 and the 5800xt at $249. Already a big jump. SO HOW COME THE I5-10400 launched at $200 and its refresh at $200 WTF?
With AMD atleast they changed the clockspeeds a bit.
Its an 8
Well it’s IGN so their score is probably exaggerated
indeed
AMD also released it for the same socket. That Intel refresh is going to be on the new socket 
It'd be like making a new Zen 1+ cpu and slapping it on AM5
wait what? Could've sworn the article mentioned that its gonna be on LGA 1200
I could go on about how AMD made the AM4 socket better by introducing X3D and yet intel does jack nothing to their older sockets
it is cuz who's buying this really?
Intel Sockets don't even have the lifespan of AM4
Ain't going to be any 1200 mobos on the market besides second hand
fr

did they just have a billion 10400s lying around unsold
12 Million cache sheeesh
MSRP $200
LGA1200
intel out here scamming people now
So not even compatible with the current sockets, only for people with 5 year old boards or willing to buy one on Ebay or something 
yeah
there's no point to sell this
other than being desperate as hell to get rid of inventory
but by then..
why not just RESUME 10400 production?
Now we have to wonder, will Intel relaunch 400 series chipsets as well
Also resume LGA1200 board production 
none of this makes sense
This is why they changed the naming
what chips were on 1200 normally?
LGA1200 held 10th and 11th gen Intel
10th and 11th
10-11th gen
it gotta be for OEMs
lol so it's the same cpu on the same board???
Although Comet Lake, which is what this is, was 10th generation. So it's limited to PCIe 3.0 only, and some of the slots may not work on a 500 series board
yes
nice
and bamboozled and flabbergasted and confused and perplexed and befuddled and bewildered and...
perfect
and lga 1200 boards are no longer produced
this isn't even april 1st
i fail to comprehend that this is real
What if Intel launched their own board - like they used to produce. Then they sold this as a bundle together. Maybe with an H470 chipset which they somehow had laying around
And to think, I was initially upset because I thought they were just slapping the pad layout on 10th gen cpus. Nope, actual 10th gen cpu in 2025 
Maybe Intel was jealous of AM4 having new CPUs for 8 years
"Oh yeah? Well LGA1200 ... uh, hang on. Here, have this new CPU"
They'll never leave the 14nm+++++++++++++++++ joke anytime soon
SKYLAKE FOR EVERYONE
There are golden sample 10900K chips out in the wild which came packaged with a phase-change cooler from Cooler Master (the cooler was terrible btw)
10th gen cpu in 2025 is a joke
They liked it when everyone was mocking them for this and not for their company swirling down the toilet entirely
Intel is going in the Bintel
They got bailed out and didn't learn at all
they should rerelease ivy bridge
yes
Optane needs to be revived
Intel needs to survive, but not while it's like this
nahhh optane would be too useful
Bring back 600 series SSDs 
Actually, bring back i486
Forget that, I want a Pentium II Overdrive for Slot 1 released in 2025 with a Tualatin core
I feel like @elfin mural having brought up i486 would know everything I just said
having to do tons of research on sata drives just to find stuff that is servicible and isn't qlc dramless trash or overpriced sux
hell yeah
or - hear me out
an overdrive kit for original Xbox
I only have two i486 chips at home - a DX/33 and a DX/2 66
I want a system/360,,,
if it doesn't overstress the structure of my house by having its weight in here is it even a computer
Unless you plan on plugging in a microphone to sing just get the xtreme
coolermaster?
randy,,
Daaamn dude
most of the negative reviews is tied to performance
Why is this positive
Figures, UE5 is poopy butt
Bro had to overclock his card to cope with the game being ass
XD
Overclocking a $1000 card and using DLSS just for 85fps is trash
If you use what epic markets, yes. But if you make the games like how you are supposed to make them, then it can run well
Most devs don't though
They lock themselves into epic's ecosystem of unreal "features"
thats pretty decent for ue5
Creating solutions for their own problems they made
But if you spend the dev time and make the games like how you should, it can still run well on ue5
The issue is that low vs ultra is not a large difference in frame rate
So you either run the game or you dont
Low and medium is like 3 fps difference
Probably perf upscaling at 1080p
probably 1080p 30 with dlss
HM
such high frames for a game with cartoon graphics
Sorry it was high vs low instead
Still though
yeah thats not ideal
not even high enough this is atrocious ITS 1080p
disgusting
lol yea
burn these devs on the stake
yooo chill 💀
Holy shit that literally looks like borderlands 2 which is a decade old
What the hell
Over a decade actually
SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Might as well run the game at low
he's now playing at 1080p fsr quality
UE5?
fps would go as high as 130fps but only briefly
yes bruh
HIGHER
another UE5 slop
i would imagine 160-180
too bad it aint
trash
wheres my 5080?
terrible. doesnt even have RT
Good becuase it would be even worse
i know 4060 isn't a beast of a card but cmon... Even 1080p low can't hit 60 https://youtu.be/wx0HG7599Mg?si=YdDmiTW_JNxwhKjx

textures look a bit strange to me
@upper rain Ok so the core offset increases clocks when under lighter loads
Or rather it will actually try hitting it when under 100%
At 100% I did see a very small increase but it will actually try to hit your specified frequency offset when it can
For example at a capped frame rate
Obv it wont be pegged at 100%, so it will boost higher
looks like the 3dmark basic version does have timespy
nvm im getting an iPad for that money
i don't know what the basic UI looks like if it's changed since i bought the paid version
and pursuing my artistic tendencies
Is anybody here really deeply familiar with battery backup systems
We have a customer who's using a 660W rated battery backup with his gaming PC - he's got the PC on the surge protector only side. He's experiencing some issues with the PC at home that we haven't been able to replicate at the store, and I'm trying to determine if the 660W rating is total output among all outlets, or if that only applies to the battery-powered outlets
I'd just approach that by logging voltages and power draw and then running either OCCT power test or furmark+p95 while using their backup at home, if it's something to do with voltage droop or running into a power problem, you'd be able to see it in the logs
But you might be able to find the answer to that by consulting the specific manual for the model of the backup
A mini-tower UPS with line interactive topology, the CyberPower S175UC provides battery backup (using simulated sine wave output) and surge protection for desktop computers, workstations, networking devices, and home entertainment systems. The S175UC uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to...
Looks like 120v x 12a, 1440w max with surge protector only
drops to 660w when using the battery on the battery outlets
So he should be fine
his PC is hooked up on the surge protected only side
it's his xbox, TV, monitors, all that stuff is on the battery backup
He's having some issues with the LAN connection dropping out and lagging. Running a 100ft Ethernet to another room so he can have a solid connection. Every time he's had the PC here at the store it runs perfectly including the LAN connection
It's gotta be something environmental we don't know about. And when he hooks that 100ft cable up to his gaming laptop, no issues
always worth blaming network drivers lol, they can be very finnicky, even after reinstalling
Or possibly something to do with the windows network configs
Something environmental affecting ethernet just seems a little unlikely
unless it's something like powerline ethernet and the extra power draw is somehow causing interference
real
what about it besides the molex connector?
and it being 20mm
must be old
old thermaltake packaging
I used to have some old riings that had that old logo
i was looking through my dads cord box and found it 😭
It's not Windows and it's not drivers. He was having these issues at home, brought the PC here, and then we had no issues here. Last time, we reloaded Windows and all the drivers for him, and he got it back fully working for a short time, then started having more problems. Could be one of his peripherals. Something funky is going on here.
dodes it work fine on the wall and not on the UPS
this is a line interactive UPS, which means they do not go through any power conditioning or battery power while it is on the grid, so it should be the same as plugging it directly in the wall
if something is failing (mainly the contactor to switch between grid and battery), it might have some dirty power issues which can cause instability
if they plug directly into the wall and the issues is still happening, it's likely to do with their power
and to solve that, they'll need a power conditioner
or an online ups (but those are generally more expensive)
i would recommend an eaton lc1800 or something for a power conditioner for a pc
OH!?
My friend has a 4060 ti and is getting 80 fps at 1440p with these settings in bl4
Oh with frame gen it was 120
off is like 80
You could ask them to bring it in with all of their peripherals, malfunctioning USB devices can do a lot of weird things, but I dunno how that would affect Ethernet and only Ethernet
Unless it's something really convoluted like it's causing voltage droop on only the 5v or 3.3v rails which isn't affecting anything else but the specific Ethernet chip is using that rail
And I know for a fact it's NetworkManager because when i type nmcli con up it reconnects right back
I feel like if it is a hardware issue, it comes down to something to do with the 5v or 3.3v rails, since PSUs are generally worse at regulating those rails and failures there don't affect major components that run off 12v.
1440p balanced dang
8 or 16gb?
835p low settings
8 but with a resolution that low i dont think it matters
perhaps. does that gave have dlss 4 transformer model?
Not sure
i'd have him look into it. runs a little heavier but looks wayyyy better especially upscaled from lower resolutions
well they did showcase the dlss cope before the game came out
so it probably is using 4
the CNN based 4.x models don't really look any better than 3.x. transformer model is where it's at
Its running better than mhwilds atleast 💀
720p+
lol that game hates all hardware
That guy who overclocked his 5080 to play it at 90 fps with performance upscaling pisses me off
people like him are why games suck now
yep, its the acceptance
like that gpu is currently the second most power consumer card out there and you're fine with those numbers?
with a game like that it should pull way more than it has to, the engine overall is actually a problem
because the consistency of constant performance problems persists on 99% of the titles made in UE5
Absolutely
The studios know they can get away with slop
with some exceptions like Fortnite, Valorant, The finals
Those games however are competitive so they really had to put effort into proper performance
That's why I make it a policy to not buy slop
I don't care if they optimize it after release
If it was a AAA title asking for the $60+ retail price
They have no right to release games in a slop state
yep
Fandom seems toxic af too
Just like the fandom of another game with shit performance
Cough cough mhwilds
fortnite also looks like garbage bc they undersample all the heavy effects
i wouldn't say it's super optimized, although definitely better than some
a lot of it is just that they don't use heavy effects/undersample the heavy effects
Given borderlands 4’s artstyle i am confused why they didn’t opt for unreal engine 4 if they were adamant abt using unreal
That engine atleast has acceptable performance
Fortnite frame time graphs go crazy
Witcher 4 and cyberpunk 2 is gonna be so ass 
bro but performance mode bro
it still runs really well, the graphics are just blurry bc that was the compromise they made
to be fair if you dont use lumen on high setting preset then it does run well
i get like 100ish fps on my b580 with a lot of the effects turned up. a lot of the effects just look a bit fuzzy bc undersampled
no
it runs the game fine, homie is up to some nonsense
even my a770 runs it okayish, nanite kinda screws them though
a770 moreso than b580
possible
Yea, since its created by epic themselves they know how to cut off some of the features that heavily tank performance despite having nanite and lumen as options
even with those features enabled they aren't as taxing as the rest of the games made in UE5
tbf nanite doesn't do much in that game, but lumen is nice when it's not smearing
talking to me?
heh
i've run this game on 9070, a770, b580, 4060 ti recently. it's not a hardware issue, the game is just not very crisp lol
7900 xt in the mail, will look exactly the same
on multiple pcs i might add
maybe because consoles are easily finetuned compared to pc
This generation of gaming is so ass bruh 
Sony’s got the decima engine to themselves and its got insane performance for its visuals on both pc and console… but they haven’t made many games with it
Apparently death stranding 2 is rendered internally at 1440p… for a 60fps target on performance mode
Absolutely insane
i don't have any current gen consoles but it looks kinda ass on xbox one x. probably moreso because it's a one x than because of the game atp tho
Isn't that like
RX 580 level
@arctic lily isn't the rx 580 good?
the one x is better than rx 580
weaker iirc but i forgor
it was great when I had one, good for starting out on 1080p
jaguar cores
didn’t handle 1440p very well so I went with the next thing called 580

what’s your problem
nobody should throw bricks at peoples hardware on here
They were talking about rx580 and he pinged you saying is rx580 good
But you have the b580 and not the rx580

I had an rx 580 before the b580 that’s why
oh i see
we need to get you a gtx 580 and complete the trifecta
i misinterpreted what you said that’s my bad but it was unnecessary insertion anyway
i will donate to this cause
yes plz
would you like a gtx 580?
high key i will keep an eye out for deals. would totally be down to grab us each one and do some competitive OC. iirc fermi had bios mods for voltage and stuff so it should be low skill ceiling
you got zelle? would be easy to just shoot you the listing and cash rather than buying it and then paying for shipping direct to you again lel. not necessary atm ofc, ebay is uh... scarce on deals
they used to ve liek $15 bruh now they're $30+
I have Venmo and PayPal
mom won’t let me get anything else lol
I see pny cards and zotac cards on eBay
paypal works. will hit you up once i catch some deals lol
bet man thanks
they're all blowers. i wouldn't mind one for myself since i'll probs put together an aio mount, but i kinda want you to have something that isn't going to choke itself to death at stock let alone oced 😭
geeze, $450 classified lmao
I hate to be a mod here
But this should be kept in dms
I’ll just overclock the fan 
Rule 3 and such
ok





bro was so hungry he phased through the door
ah yes, the famous restaurant teaffle hourcy tetre sted
His force field broke the wall
wtf
looks like fermi bios editor has voltage control and lets you desync clocks. very gud, that's basically all you need for baller oc
his face goes flat
this and his cap gets eaten
we just posted that one 💀
prob my fav
i was reading FBE documentation 😭




The foot hand
thats just what he looks like
made this last night
Roid abs
theres another one where he takes his shirt off but i dont know if i wanna post it
case
ffs
My OS doesn't wanna work
There's some I/O shenanigans going on between the SSD and the OS
I think besides the text this is probably the best one from a quality stand point
true, it looks the most real aside from the text
The gmod flying away one is still funniest
the first one?
Yeah
minecraft creative mode moment
Real
i'm stealing that
Bro typed /gamemode creative and flew off
Xbox Gamepass is the 2020s version of Sega Channel lol

Smallest russian pet
I suspect I trolled myself by just yeeting the linux cache
those creatures always look like their ready to maul their keeper, i think this is the first one i've seen that's pretty chill
how it feels when I play most games
Yeah I think I trolled myself by clearing the buffer cache ngl
Should've just bought a ram stick
my AM5 build is getting 96 GB of RAM
It's either that or an APCI error
just get an 8gb stick and download more ram
Whatever the hell's going wrong it's annoying
three chopsticks
8 GB DDR5 sticks are trash
ik lol, i'm the biggest hater in this server haha
OEMs is why
and i gave him some of my old ram
specifically my 2x8 kit of oloy warhawk which looked so good
i dont know what went wrong, but when i built the pc something started burning and i found that one of the stick's traces burned
like
i loved that kit
i dont even know why it happened but now hes getting a new kit and has to use the a slots instead of the b slots
I'd be more worried about the more expensive parts
everything else worked fine
also atp I'd definitely replace the mobo at minimum
i put the stick of ram that didnt burn in the a slot and it booted
sounds like something shorted
tried both a slots they were fine
but he liked the look of that ram so much that he got that kit as a replacement, but not just the normal rgb ones, he bought a kit of the special edition platinum
you cant hate this

which didnt cost as much as it sounds but it was like 3600mts
yea there were burnt traces
might not have seated it all the way and bridged smth
It was ONLY these two
I seated them all the way
I always push until it doesn’t move
If I’m correct this can’t be repaired right
bro im so cooked

which side is that? the side with the notch further out or further in?
anything can be repaired with enough equipment, money, patience and skill... as for it being worth it? Absolutely not.
Back when I went from 16 to 32
i thought so
i started with 2x8 silicon power gaming at 3200mts and got the warhawk as an upgrade to double my ram, ran flawlessly together
idk what happened, pinout says those should be data and gnd lines. DQ shouldn't be high enough voltage to burn out like that even if shorted to ground
unfortunate
it feels ridiculous when I finally close a bunch of stuff on my desktop & find things I was working on like 7 hours ago lol
need one of these but it ends with a live grenade going off
The kid toy goes so hard
Satisfying
okay what even is this cloud
tax evasion is nowhere near the worst thing in kids shows lol
They also did a full-on description on how 401ks work
ok
LMAOOO
red kitty is stylin
