lol what?

I've polished those damn copper pipes at least 3x now to avoid oxidation

[upper rain]

[upper rain]

oxidation on the outside is good

keep it clean on the inside

Actually if we go by reading the words normally it'd be the PNY High Endurance 512 PRO Elite MicroSD V30 U3 A2 XC I

I think half of this is all made up voodoo words

[royal crow]

[upper rain]

literally any GPU will work

[worn night]

the highest you can go

[upper rain]

gtx 960 (2GB)

[worn night]

nah gtx 580 1.5gb

[dusk knot]

I'm 100 percent with you 😔

[sinful fulcrum]

I want an Nvidia card pls recommend one

[worn night]

how much do you want to spend on one

and are you sure you dont want amd

[sinful fulcrum]

I’m really sure i want Nvidia I have 70 shares of stock in them and I am reallly sure I want a 50 sieres card from them

Just make a recommendation

I don’t want to spent over a thousand dollar a

[sinful blade]

5070ti is fine

Or a 4080 super

[sinful fulcrum]

What brand would you recommend?

[sinful blade]

Any at this point

[worn night]

any

whichever one you think looks the coolest

[tranquil pebble]

Just dont get a brand that is only sold on Temu or something

[sinful fulcrum]

https://a.co/d/aWjRZJi

Is this ok?

[tranquil pebble]

12 GB at $600 is robbery

[sinful fulcrum]

What’s that mean

[worn night]

it means no

[sinful fulcrum]

Vram?

Oh shit ok

[royal crow]

nro

I'm gonna get married before ts ends man😭

[sinful fulcrum]

Send a link to one you’d buy

[tranquil pebble]

IMO there are no Nvidia cards worth buying. The pricing is just insane.

[misty sparrow]

what if they're used?

[tranquil pebble]

Maybe... depends

[worn night]

just get amd

[sinful fulcrum]

Are amd cards really that much better ?

[worn night]

amd cpu + amd gpu = 🔥

[worn night]

in terms of vram, pricing to performance, and other things, yes

[tranquil pebble]

when your budget is less than $1,000 yeah

[worn night]

get a 9070xt

[tranquil pebble]

5070 Ti going for $1000 is just... no. Just dont.

[misty sparrow]

what madman sells a 5070Ti for $1000

[tranquil pebble]

Amazon

[misty sparrow]

huh

funnily enough i've seen more GPUs closer to MSRP than a while ago

six months ago you could not get a 9070XT close to MSRP but now I see them for like $600 all the time

[sinful fulcrum]

Which brand?

https://a.co/d/bLCMrrs

[misty sparrow]

I hear Sapphire makes good AMD cards but it all depends on price

[sinful fulcrum]

This one catches my eye

1.3k reviews

500 bought past month

[tranquil pebble]

XFX too

XFX, Sapphire, and PowerColor have all been solid buys for me

[misty sparrow]

Depends on price

If it's like $800 or more it's a pass

[tranquil pebble]

GPU prices vary so wildly its insane

[misty sparrow]

They're pretty tame right now but yeah

[sinful fulcrum]

Won’t let me send a picture it’s only allowing to send a link and it’s looks sketchy but it’s a Amazon link

https://a.co/d/bLCMrrs

This is the one that looks like alright to the eye

[tranquil pebble]

We know what Amazon links look like. You do not need to worry about us thinking you are sending bad links.

[sinful fulcrum]

Does that one look good?

[tranquil pebble]

I would be potentially concerned with thermal performance but otherwise yes

[sinful fulcrum]

Which would be better with that card maybe being a no-go?

[tranquil pebble]

Well, I mean I do not know how it performs thermal wise, but it is dual slot and not triple like most.

The price is definitely good.

[sinful fulcrum]

What does a dual slot do?

And like what is it

And how does it differentiate from a triple slot

[tranquil pebble]

it is the size of the cooling assembly on the card... bigger means more thermal mass, and in theory better cooling.

However, it can be a moot point if the dual slot does well enough. However, I do not have enough information about the thermal performance to make a proper call here.

[sinful fulcrum]

What card do you have?

[royal crow]

Almost a quad slot

[sinful fulcrum]

Bro I don’t even know what ur saying

[tranquil pebble]

think my 6900 XT is like 3.5 slot

it is a monster though lol

[sinful fulcrum]

Is that a good card?

I have a evga 3060 right now I needa upgrade been saving up

[tranquil pebble]

Well, the only game I have had performance issues with it so far is Borderlands 4, and Oblivion Remastered.

and I do not think the GPU can be faulted for either of those

[sinful blade]

Send me that 3060

[lone mango]

Such a fiend

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm

something like 80% stronger than your 3060 in raster with 4 gigs of additional vram

Finally finished last night

After three nights and two days

[elfin mural]

ouch

[craggy shoal]

"There's gonna be a stutter right here" and being correct is absolutely wild

[craggy shoal]

Am I reading that as 46 hours and 42 minutes?

lmao what did you print?

[worn night]

yup

cant say yet

[craggy shoal]

What printer is that?

[worn night]

ender 3 max neo

[craggy shoal]

How'd the print go? I hope it went smoothly given that it's Creality lmao

I remember my Ender 3 (base Ender 3 though)

[worn night]

it went fine

i got a dryer coming in soon so itll be even better

[craggy shoal]

Filament dryer?

I'm using cereal boxes to keep my filament dry lol

[worn night]

yeah

[pliant berry]

I've been using a sealed bin with silica gel

[craggy shoal]

(I need to check on the humidity levels though because I haven't checked in a while and I haven't been printing like crazy lately)

You can get a lot more value out of the cereal box method imo

But I've been thinking about getting a filament dryer anyways just to dry the silica

[dusk knot]

Why 8k will never be a thing for Decades

[rancid juniper]

i like how when he disables lumen, the atmosphere of the game falls apart

[elfin mural]

yeah

[craggy shoal]

And then when we get to that point, people are gonna be like "yeah you can almost see the individual pixels on a 27-inch 4K panel. That's why I recommend 8K at 27 inches"

Same argument as 1080p at 27" and 1440p at 27" lmao

[proud jackal]

[royal crow]

I can see individual pixels on my 1080p 27" never had a problem with it

[craggy shoal]

Wait until you try 1080p at 24 inches or 1440p at 27 inches

Your life will change

I know that 9060 XT can handle 1440p too. You might as well upgrade when funding is available

I might just upgrade to 4K and use Lossless Scaling with two GPUs lmao

It would let me use my Mac Mini without it looking stupid and aliased with my 1440p 27" monitors (iykyk)

But then I have to buy at least two monitors because I want matching monitors 🫠

[misty sparrow]

ehh

[craggy shoal]

I found the 27-inch 1080p guy

[royal crow]

i have a 1080 24", i use it as my secondary

its dying I think

[nocturne flicker]

We were all born dying

[royal crow]

glitch-outs havent been as frequent but idk

[misty sparrow]

The only difference I can spot is text

https://tenor.com/view/stan-twitter-hoodeyecircle-bad-girls-club-fraud-slayer-gif-6587638526525351154

[royal crow]

planning on it🔥

[nocturne flicker]

I have upgraded to 1440p

Honestly not much of a noticeable difference

But I have bad eyes so

[royal crow]

Why my messages not send😭

[nocturne flicker]

Also I have been primarily playing LotRO and that has wonky scaling issues at 1440p so I've been playing at 1080p

[nocturne flicker]

Discord bad duh

[royal crow]

this explains a lot

[misty sparrow]

Silent Hill 2 was running like ass at 1440p so I thought it was my system like a normal person would

But turns out it runs bad at 1080p so

A lot of games do that though, heavier perf cost on 1440p than 1080p and I can’t see the difference

[rancid juniper]

broke nfs heat

nfs creepy pasta

[misty sparrow]

[atomic current]

wtf does nfs heat need with my resume

[rancid juniper]

[worn wave]

if the only difference you can see between 27" 1080p and 1440p is text I would recommend you get your eyes checked lol

[icy ore]

💀

[worn wave]

not even meant to be a roast, like genuinely

[misty sparrow]

Maybe I haven’t played the right games or got a good enough display for 1440p

I really just notice the frame dips

[worn wave]

it should be evident even on your desktop and browser...

maybe your windows resolution/scaling was messed up or something?

[sharp charm]

Isn't the growth of processing power supposed to exponentially grow and then hit a peak at some point

[royal crow]

It already has lmao

We physically cannot make the chips on a much smaller process than we already have

[atomic current]

maybe I should get bigger monitors,

[sharp charm]

So computers are just gonna get bigger now

[atomic current]

[dusk knot]

Ghmm

[dusk knot]

Lmao

[dusk knot]

Oh boy

I heard about this years ago. Seems like it's finally happening

[dusk knot]

That's insane

[rancid juniper]

never knew that was circulating for a while

[dusk knot]

Rumors

[rancid juniper]

ah

[dusk knot]

The Saudi Arabians have been interested in gaming for a while.

[rancid juniper]

some people commented that saudi arabia is buying alot of companies so they can get away from relying on oil profit???

[dusk knot]

There's a possibility that their going to put their cultural views into future games

[rancid juniper]

i mean if your country is known for only oil i can see why they're buying up stuff

[nocturne flicker]

The Saudis have been interested in everything. Almost as if having insanely concentrated wealth from oil money means those few people have nothing to spend it on

[dusk knot]

True

[rancid juniper]

oh, this is gonna get interesting

☠️

[dusk knot]

Yeah....

[velvet summit]

???? you still have over 1mbps upload

discord worked fine at 4mbps up for years for me

[dusk knot]

I don't really care about EA anyways...so eh

[royal crow]

True but now it's not and idk why

[velvet summit]

i dont really care about most triple a studios anymore either

pretty much none of them have released any bangers in the last 5 years

[rancid juniper]

yep

its getting hard to keep up

[lone mango]

Fellas I am not getting a job anytime soon

Just to show the lengths these companies are going, citibank outsourced to china for 12k a year per contractor, then realized that it was too much for them so they fired everyone and then went to india for 9k a year for each employee

They saved 250,000 a year

This is the bank that is basically gambling with risky loans like the other american banks, they make 250,000 in a second

[lone mango]

Steam is definitely not complaining

[rancid juniper]

oh ofc not, they are seeing infinite money generator

it will never stop

[nocturne flicker]

Come be low wage slave buddies with me

[lone mango]

This basic ass position where you use imaging software and set up computers said no

[atomic current]

I think maybe oil money might possibly make you ever so slightly less interested in some things probably

[lone mango]

They also took down the job and put it back up across many websites

Who the hell are they looking for bruh I applied twice

[nocturne flicker]

Resume harvesting

[atomic current]

jobs are fake

[rancid juniper]

like linkedin

[nocturne flicker]

That and they need to pretend they are hiring all the time

So that when their employees are angry over understaffing they can say no one wants to work

[rancid juniper]

what about a 9070xt offering?

[sinful fulcrum]

whats the difference between per say a asus 5080 vs a pny 5080

[lone mango]

You can get close to a 5080 with tweaking but i dont think he would want to mess with it

[rancid juniper]

clockspeeds and thermals

thats it

should perform the exact same though

[rancid juniper]

fair enough

[sinful fulcrum]

can you explain what that is to someone whos never seen anything like that before

[dusk knot]

All overpriced

[rancid juniper]

(5080 user talking)

[lone mango]

They board partner cards vary by a couple percent of performance max

[dusk knot]

I got the MSRP

[lone mango]

They are all close to each other

[rancid juniper]

still overpriced imo

[dusk knot]

Compared to my 3080ti, no

[rancid juniper]

could've waited one more gen, 3080ti is plenty capable

[lone mango]

Worst case scenario one card is 3% faster than the other, main difference being how hot they get and how loud the fans are

[dusk knot]

It was struggling, no

[lone mango]

What

[rancid juniper]

wrong ping

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[sinful fulcrum]

so which is the best for all of those

[nocturne flicker]

It was struggling, no

[dusk knot]

It was struggling

Yes

[rancid juniper]

all of it was struggling

🔥

[dusk knot]

The struggle made me upgrade.

[nocturne flicker]

The struggle is finally real?

[rancid juniper]

always has been

[dusk knot]

Also my 3080ti was getting boring (lol)

[lone mango]

If you want to go under 1k then get that pny i linked, but if you want the asus you can get that too since its not much more expensive

[rancid juniper]

un bore it by adding rgb strips on it

[lone mango]

Up to you

The asus tuf looks nice but that thing is huge

Actual chungus

[nocturne flicker]

I bore it with a drill

[sinful fulcrum]

so the asus one is the best for lowest sound producing fans

[rancid juniper]

make sure you check your case length before attempting to buy a fat gpu @sinful fulcrum

[dusk knot]

I thought of that, but that would serve as a very short term fix to my boredom. the 5080 does everything I want it to do, that's what matters.

[lone mango]

Well any card can be quiet at the right rpm

[rancid juniper]

including crashes in UE titles?

[lone mango]

You can make your own fan curve

[rancid juniper]

😂

[dusk knot]

I do need more VRAM for AI though

[elfin mural]

and stutters in ue

[rancid juniper]

yes

[dusk knot]

I blame their trash platform, not my baby

[rancid juniper]

okie

[dusk knot]

Some days it crashes, others it doesn't..makes no sense

Do you have the pny too

[dusk knot]

FE.

[lone mango]

It seems to be pretty good

[dusk knot]

It's beautiful

[lone mango]

Oh ok

[nocturne flicker]

BF campaigns haven't been good consistently since 3

[lone mango]

Yeah thats good too

[cedar compass]

[nocturne flicker]

The best one since was for BF1 and that fell apart the further from the intro mission you got

[dusk knot]

L

[misty sparrow]

At least they’re substance

It’s not just multiplayer like in 2042

[nocturne flicker]

Well yes but that doesn't change the fact that the quality has noticeably fallen since Bf3

It is nice they atleast are going to make one

[misty sparrow]

I haven’t played the campaigns but makes sense

[nocturne flicker]

But expecting it to be good is setting yourself up for disappointment

[misty sparrow]

Basically like COD campaigns in terms of quality right?

[nocturne flicker]

Nah. CoD campaigns are worse

[rancid juniper]

ngl I played through BF1, BF4, and BFV campaigns and tbh they are somewhat forgettable. Though the presentation and scenery did deliver

[velvet summit]

only good games by triple a studios in my opinion per year for the last 5 years
2020 - final fantasy 7 remake, doom eternal, half life alyx, resident evil 3 remake, snowrunner, ghost of tsushima, maybe cp2077 but i wouldnt call it a banger at launch... or the years after that
2021 - hitman 3 (formerly triple a title series but that title specifically technically would be like triple i), it takes two, neir replicant ver 1.22474487139..., resident evil 8 (village)
2022 - elden ring, hardspace: shipbreaker, god of war
2023 - dead space remake, baulders gate 3, resident evil 4 remake
2024 - final fantasy 7 rebirth, ...... i don't think there was anything else that i liked (from triple a companies)
2025 - roadcraft is the only one so far this year (death stranding 2 TBA since i'm waiting for the pc release)

[rancid juniper]

wasn't resident evil 3 remake frowned upon?

[velvet summit]

some people didnt like how easy it was

it was fine

[rancid juniper]

and others didn't like it because of how much cut content there was as well

afaik

[nocturne flicker]

I really liked the first mission for BF1 and then the rest were gradually more disappointing

[rancid juniper]

ok I can definitely remember what the first mission was like

[nocturne flicker]

Especially the plane missions

[rancid juniper]

I did like the blimp based mission, the plane combat imo was not great

[nocturne flicker]

Those annoyed me story wise

[velvet summit]

if we cut out all the remakes though from my list
there's only like 13 games that i enjoyed that were considered triple a titles

from the last 5 years

[misty sparrow]

Take RE3R out of there

[nocturne flicker]

BF1 felt like they wanted to make a statement with the first mission and then were reminded they had to introduce multiplayer gameplay mechanics and threw the rest together

[velvet summit]

it's fine as long as you didn't pay full price for it

[misty sparrow]

It shouldn’t have been a full game

[nocturne flicker]

Comeon man, Starfield was most innovative game ever

[misty sparrow]

I liked it but it reused a lot of stuff

does Alan Wake 2 count as a AAA game or no

[nocturne flicker]

Should be

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/todd-howard-bethesda-elder-scrolls-oblivion-laughing-gif-27490544

[misty sparrow]

I know it’s made by Remedy but like

epic games funded it

[nocturne flicker]

He isn't because he was forced to allow an Oblivion Remaster

Mr I don't like remasters and remakes

[velvet summit]

i would say so

[atomic current]

he should do skyrim remake

[nocturne flicker]

(Except when Skyrim)

[rancid juniper]

that game was this

[atomic current]

skyrim 1.2

[misty sparrow]

also silent hill 2

[rancid juniper]

stutterhill 2

cities laglines 2

BorderSlideshow 4

Can AAA use Unity or idk FREAKING CRYENGINE for crying out loud

[misty sparrow]

Silent hill 2 remake is actually good but runs like ass

I don’t know why

Considering the original was so optimized

[rancid juniper]

Colossal just absolutely borked everything when making it

[cedar compass]

Frostbite is best engine for shooters

UE5 literally sux

[rancid juniper]

bad engine is one thing, horrible development is another

this gen is like how developers where trying to figure out the ps3 but instead with engines like UE5

[atomic current]

there's minecraft scratch edition

[rancid juniper]

very few devs managed to hit good fps numbers with UE5, but many can't

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind Paradox is supposed to be involved in testing the games too, so Paradox screwed it up as usual too

[rancid juniper]

[nocturne flicker]

Twating games

My finest moment

We need the big budget city builders to return, City Skylines' only AAA competition is the 6-7 year spaced Tropico releases

Can you nuke it?

Okay so did you get the pipe yet

At that point in the game I used melee weapons so much to the point where I had a ton of handgun ammo

Like 160 rounds

The game just throws healing items and ammo at you a lot if you look around ig

[lone mango]

[sinful fulcrum]

What’s the difference between 5070ti and 5060ti

And is it worth the money

[lone mango]

5070 ti is two tiers higher than the 5060 ti

[royal crow]

Get a 40 series, they're the same architecture

[lone mango]

In terms of performance and pricing

[royal crow]

With a different memory controller

[lone mango]

Depends on the model and what you are targeting

[royal crow]

Or better yet get amd

[lone mango]

You are coming from a 3060 so even a 5060 ti is good relative to it

Also

Are you near a micro center

Because there is a 5060 ti for 370

[misty sparrow]

yeah, the 16 gig model

There’s actually two 5060ti 16 gigs available for that same price at microcenter but not sure which one is better

[lone mango]

Oh I see

The ventus

[sinful fulcrum]

Yes I was just there

[lone mango]

Yeah the ventus is a miss

Fans on there are loud

[sinful fulcrum]

Is 5060ti a steal for 370?

[lone mango]

Yes

All the others are like $420+

[sinful fulcrum]

Someone link me it I might turn around

[sinful fulcrum]

What does 5070ti “2 tiers above a 5060ti” mean

[lone mango]

The products are all segmented

[sinful fulcrum]

??

[lone mango]

X amount of performance for Y price

The 60 class of cards are the mid range

[sinful fulcrum]

Aren’t those coming out at like 2027

[lone mango]

The 70 family is higher end

[sinful fulcrum]

Oh wait I’m an idiot

[lone mango]

Sorry i meant xx60 and xx70

[sinful fulcrum]

Haha I just realized

Yeah I think I want to go for a ASUS 5070ti

Would that be compatable with this bundle

This is what I’ve got right now

[lone mango]

Unfortunately the micro center cpu bundles aren't amazing

They can definitely squeeze cl30 ram in there instead of cl36

[chrome mirage]

So what do people think about borderlands 4? Should I buy now or wait for a sale.

[lone mango]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okIpbu1tp_A

Solution: linux

[chrome mirage]

I already have the solution then

[lone mango]

The dialogue is absolutely terrible and the game runs even worse

It is a mind numbing game

[lone mango]

[chrome mirage]

I've heard people say the gameplay is really good if you can get over 60fps

The dialogue in 3 is why I dropped it.

[lone mango]

If you love the "cutscenes" where you sit there and walk around in a room while npcs talk to each other for 5 minutes, you will love this

The real cutscenes are also in 30 fps

[chrome mirage]

I might just wait for a sale or for my sister to buy it

[dusk knot]

[lone mango]

I would recommend getting the game via illegitimate methods because people supporting those developers are basically making gaming worse

These companies can do whatever they want and people still buy it

[nocturne flicker]

Ahem I heavily suggest coding language about that specific recommendation

[royal crow]

Let's just all agree to stop buying games except the good ones

[chrome mirage]

This bear is very round

[upper rain]

[chrome mirage]

There's 3 bears now

These 2 and a small one hiding in the bush

[worn night]

Nah different friend

[worn night]

I built switchs thats why it got no problems

[sinful blade]

@chrome mirage do not buy bl4 yet

Wait 3 months

Dlc will come out
Patches will help performance
Maybe sale

[chrome mirage]

Maybe I can convince Theo to add me to his steam family

Then I can use his copy

[sinful blade]

@proud jackal @chrome mirage wants to steal from you

[chrome mirage]

He would have access to my games too so it would be mutually beneficial

[proud jackal]

i havent married your sister yet.

[chrome mirage]

I don't think that's going to happen. Guess I just won't play Borderlands 4.

What's up cloud. how's your weekend going so far

[lone mango]

Not the best start but right now is chill

playing deep rock galactic

https://tenor.com/view/drg-deep-rock-galactic-beer-dwarf-gif-27494150

[olive plaza]

I need a different game to get into. I'm addicted to Rocket League and I shouldn't be

[lone mango]

[olive plaza]

and uh, well, I got a copy of Borderlands 4

but I'm on a 2080TI so

[lone mango]

Oh yeah that must be great

[olive plaza]

It's exactly as good as you think it is

it was a promotional copy so there wasn't any money lost but

I'd like to enjoy it

and until the CEO closes his mouth and puts some dev time into fixing the game's performance, I don't think that will happen

I had a pretty chill evening. On my way home from work I picked up a 4 pound package of boneless skinless chicken breast from Aldi, and a bag of frozen veggies. The chicken was marked incorrectly as being like 2.2 pounds so I only paid $6.50 for that

I put half the chicken into my crockpot with the veggies and smothered it in garlic salt, pepper, and a little crushed red pepper flakes, it's been in the slow cooker for about 7 hours now

currently making rice to go with it

[lone mango]

Been a while since I had something from the crockpot

Went too hard

gotta do it again

[lone mango]

deep rock goes on sale frequently if you want you can get it

[olive plaza]

what kind of game is it

[grand kernel]

did you get the user id

[chrome mirage]

I used to have a 2080Ti but I upgraded to a 7900XTX

Crazy Microsoft shill I found earlier, holy crap

Debloat is getting scripts that arent microsoft ones and using them to remove pre installed files?

don't do it
you'll get nothing out of it

fr

[primal kettle]

reason why Microsoft collects so much telemetries:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/security-insider/threat-landscape/microsoft-digital-defense-report-2024

Couldn't be because collecting data makes money

And also there is no spyware in any software on Windows

™

[olive plaza]

I have a 3090TI that I would love to upgrade to but, haven't had time. I got it for a steal, it has an Eiswolf from Alphacool installed. That's a full block watercooler that's built into an AIO. It needs cleaned out VERY badly before I get to use it

[lone mango]

wait till he sees how many connections a windows installation without any privacy settings changed makes in a few minutes

[primal kettle]

Yeah

[lone mango]

co op space dwarf game where you go into this planet and do missions

The dialogue is so fun

[olive plaza]

sold

[primal kettle]

Oh hey there's a similar game

[olive plaza]

I'm so down for co-op

[lone mango]

can also play solo if you want

[primal kettle]

In early access, and it's more combat and smash and grab

[lone mango]

and they keep past seasons so you can get past rewards

[primal kettle]

Jump Space

[lone mango]

there is a bar where you can get beers with different effects

[primal kettle]

There isn't a lot right now, but for some reason my friend and I just keep and keep playing when we should be working lol

[lone mango]

wait for sale

[chrome mirage]

I have a 2008 Alienware with it's original AIO and somehow it still works without any maintenance.

[primal kettle]

Holy crap

[olive plaza]

I would love for that to be the case for me but I can literally see inside the full coverage block on the 3090TI, and, it's got algae growing lol

[primal kettle]

He was also saying that Recall isn't spyware

"it's all local" me when I believe everything big company tells me

[sinful blade]

I would kill for a 3090ti

[lone mango]

Can he send the screenshot that has his bank information on it

[primal kettle]

Even if it 100% never leaves your computer and is encrypted well enough that nothing malicious can access it, which I doubt is the case, I would not want anything taking screenshots of my computer

[lone mango]

There was malware that already scraped what copilot took even before it officially rolled out

You had to get an arm vm that had it, this was before it was rolled out to everyone

It would scrape the database it makes and send the data

[primal kettle]

bruh

[lone mango]

most secure microsoft tek

[primal kettle]

real

And then there's the NVIDIA shilling...

I was telling a guy about RDNA 5 and Zen 6, saying you can undervolt the 9070 XT and make it perform better than a 5080 with the newer driver and that's just a preview of RDNA 5

His dumb ahh goes "I can overclock a 5070 too, AMD didn't invent overclocking"

Also he's one of the Mint users that thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread and recommends switching to it for fixing problems with Minecraft that can be fixed with normal software changes 🥀

If your distro comes with snap pre-installed it's TRASH

[lone mango]

Smartest nvidia

[lone mango]

Probably not in every title but overall yes it can get quite close to a 5080

However the 5080 has a lot of headroom too

[primal kettle]

Yeah

[lone mango]

That headroom will close with the 5080 super

Masterful play nvidia

[primal kettle]

There was a driver update that added an extra 8% of something ridiculous to that undervolt boost

[lone mango]

Linux user shilling nvidia this is crazy

[primal kettle]

And Microsoft

King of shilling for trends 🥀

[lone mango]

Ask him how dx12 games run

Might as well stay with windows fr

[primal kettle]

I would be using Linux exclusively if not for the fact that I play games with Easy ~~Anti-~~Cheat

CachyOS my beloved

[lone mango]

Well at least you don't need secure boot

battlefield 6 requirements might stop me from getting it ngl

[primal kettle]

Minimum req for 1080p 60 FPS: 3080 Ti

[lone mango]

I could cope and use sbctl to make secure boot keys for every kernel update, or I could just not do it

[lone mango]

borderline unplayable 4

very real and true

[primal kettle]

Did you see that somebody fixed the performance problems by giving the game 100 GB for shader cache?

lmao

[lone mango]

I was wondering what foog meant by extra 100 gigs

Well that sounds like he didn't use performance upscaling

[frigid stag]

what minecraft problems

[primal kettle]

I forget what the one was

[lone mango]

Thats the thing, minecraft is great on linux

I get like 30% more performance over windows

[frigid stag]

[lone mango]

Thank you amazon for making java virtual machine so fast

[primal kettle]

Old versions of Minecraft java don't work, I've even tried like beta versions and stuff, and they don't load

[frigid stag]

my friend get like 6 fps without performance mods idk what mods hes running💀

[primal kettle]

Happens on latest too

[frigid stag]

amd moment

[primal kettle]

My thought was malware because that's usually what it is

But the inconsistency is weird

[frigid stag]

yeah

[primal kettle]

Yeah, only with old cards though

[frigid stag]

older cards are fine my amd 460 was ok

[primal kettle]

It was mostly the old iGPUs that had the problem

Do you actually play Fortnite?

I assume so, but you never know

[primal kettle]

Ryzen 4070 is having some driver problems

If your CPU is bad at all the game will obliterate your computer

Mojang doesn't understand that buffers are actually meant to buffer data

So all of your CPU <-> GPU bandwidth gets used up instantly

[primal kettle]

A couple of weeks ago someone was having connection problems, turned out his friend gave him a "performant version" of Java 25 which was still unreleased

Couldn't connect to servers, switching to 21 immediately fixed it

[primal kettle]

It might have been, the guy compiled it against Zen 4/5 instructions

But uh

Apparently they just rewrote like half the network stack between 21 and 25, even though 25 is LTS

[frigid stag]

i ran that on a pentium i think it ok

[primal kettle]

They'll do stuff like that but won't add modern language features 🥀

[primal kettle]

What version?

[frigid stag]

idk early 2010s

[primal kettle]

Yeah

[frigid stag]

so pentium ivy bridge ig

[primal kettle]

When they switched to OpenGL 3.x (1.17) they never changed how they rendered

[frigid stag]

oh game version

[primal kettle]

It was "fine" in 1.x because drivers expected it to be that way

Hmm

[frigid stag]

i obvi dont use it rn i dont play minecraft anymore either

[primal kettle]

It's actually decent

The minimum req (it's not there for ST perf, but for its iGPU) is worse

[frigid stag]

i used igpu too but didnt need to after the 460

igpu was ok for 60

some drops like in multiplayer servers

[primal kettle]

I used to get like

40 FPS on 1.8.9 with OptiFine when I played with a cheap Athlon

[primal kettle]

Do you play FN?

[frigid stag]

sometimes

[primal kettle]

Oh

I've been playing a lot of builds

[frigid stag]

i play it once in a while to see whats new but its a bit sweaty

[primal kettle]

Yeah

I'm tired of getting third partied

I'm in Diamond 2 in ranked reload and I'm at the point where I actually have to play the stupid ahh building maps to get better

[frigid stag]

i havent tried ranked in a while. might try when they bring back arena

[primal kettle]

Is it coming back?

OG isn't bad, but the balancing is irritating

[frigid stag]

idk it said something about ranked 2.0

[primal kettle]

Ranked reload has syphon right now

Godsend

There's also Delulu lol

[frigid stag]

arena was pretty much perfect just needed slight tweaks

[primal kettle]

Yeah

I've played since chapter 1 season 3, besides breaks for bad seasons

[frigid stag]

yeah ch5 was kinda cooked ngl

[primal kettle]

Yeah

I think season one was good, I don't even remember what the rest were besides four, which I only cared about because of the mode that was a copy of the one in C1S8 but with Dr. Doom

Epic doesn't seem to understand how popular LTMs are

They brought 50 v50 back for OG season 3 and it was pretty popular, but then it only lasted like two weeks

Literally just put disco domination back in the game

You don't have to make a new game mode every three months

Just enable old ltms every so often

Someone will complain no matter what you add

[sinful fulcrum]

would a 5070ti pair well with a 7800x3d?

[unreal trail]

chungus

[elfin mural]

yes

[royal crow]

Legit anything would

[sinful fulcrum]

lol ok

[tranquil pebble]

this is tempting ngl

I just hope it wouldnt have an issue with an ATX 2.x PSU

[upper rain]

5070 ti is 25% cheaper for like 15% less performance AND it's artificially gimped so 20 seconds of MSI afterburnering closes the gap almost completely

5080 is not worth buying unless it'e like 5070 ti + $50 max

5070 ti Super will make both cards irrelevant if it's close to 5070 ti MSRP

[tranquil pebble]

I thought something like that might be the case, hence why it being tempting but I haven't rushed to buy it

[ashen swan]

fellow persona fan

[craggy shoal]

bot

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm

[craggy shoal]

You should be able to OC the 5080 though and make it actually worth the price

[upper rain]

alternatively you can OC the 5070 ti and the 5080 is still comparatively bad value

[craggy shoal]

True but OC'd 5080 still beats a 5070 Ti. It really just depends on your budget imo

Know what you're getting into get want a 5080's performance? Just OC the 5070 Ti

Have the money for it but also know what you're doing? Get the 5080 and OC it

Have money and don't care? Just get a 5080 and have people laugh at you lollll

[lone mango]

Yeah the 5080 has a lot of headroom

[craggy shoal]

It really should've just come stock with at least 200 more MHz than it already comes with. I think the performance difference is actually kinda noticeable too

[lone mango]

The super is basically the 5080 overclocked from the factory

[lone mango]

I think you can reliably do more

[craggy shoal]

You probably could

[lone mango]

Like across multiple cards

[craggy shoal]

I know J2C was doing at least +300MHz

[lone mango]

300+

[upper rain]

for sure, but i'm of the opinion that when you're talking about spending hundreds of dollars extra on something not meaningfully more performant without extra features or vram and whatnot, it's kinda just a wash

[lone mango]

I saw a review of the pny oc 5080 and a guy in the comments got +500 or +400

[upper rain]

$250 and you get... 66 fps instead of 60

incredible stuff

[upper rain]

offsets aren't universalizable for core bc the base frequency you offset from varies from model to model significantly, and slightly within the same model as well

but generally you can do in excess of 3ghz

[craggy shoal]

Nah I agree. If you want 5080 performance, just get a 5070 Ti and OC it. I get wym

[lone mango]

I understand but basically the card has a lot of headroom overall

[upper rain]

if 5080 had 24GB or smth then sure i don't mind the premium (even if i'd still think $250 was a little excessive). but with such a small margin and no other benefits... it's kinda worthless to me haha\

[upper rain]

keep in mind 5070 ti is the same die and clocked lower from factory

so that headroom and more bc it's running lower clocks out of box with similar max stable freq, probs a small bit less on average owing to binning

[lone mango]

[craggy shoal]

This is why I'm waiting for next (sub) generation ("sub" as in whether it's going to be a 5000 "Super" generation or a 6000 generation)

I think rumors are saying that there's actually going to be a significant VRAM increase. Obviously we don't know yet

[lone mango]

No we do know

[craggy shoal]

I should print one of these
https://www.printables.com/model/1338891-testicooler-under-desk-or-floor-mount

[lone mango]

50% vram increase

[craggy shoal]

Wait has it been confirmed?

[lone mango]

18 gig 5070 with like 200 extra cores

[upper rain]

for sure. i think the current best guess is we get Supers at CES. 5070 ti super is expected to more or less be a 5080 -5% with 24GB of vram. so if it's around $750 then basically everything else bar $350 ish 5060 ti 16GB is pointless. including most AMD SKUs imo unless they get a price drop or refresh

[dusk knot]

I added 400+ to my 5080 and 2000+ to the memory. NgreedAi left a lot of performance just laying there.

[craggy shoal]

Man I want a 5080 just to OC it and say that I have a better GPU than my friend's 4080 Super lmaooo

[lone mango]

5070 s def gonna make 9070 drop

I hope it does

[craggy shoal]

Honestly all I want is a the next 80 class to be better than the 4090 (at least the 80 class. 70 Ti class can be close)

[upper rain]

oh yeah for sure. 9070 is already overpriced, a $600 70 super with more vram better features and probs on par or better performance for sure pushes that card down

[nocturne flicker]

[upper rain]

5070 ti can already do this!!!

[dusk knot]

It will be

Idk about Vram though

[craggy shoal]

How do we know this though? I thought this info was still at a rumor level

[lone mango]

You can get to fighting distance with the 4090 when you mess with the 5089

[upper rain]

3% weaker stock and Blackwell OCs higher + 5070 ti has even more headroom than regular 5080!

[dusk knot]

Trust me, bro

[craggy shoal]

Bro just sited his sources 😭

[craggy shoal]

I want BETTER

[nocturne flicker]

The Linus is here?

[craggy shoal]

50% VRAM increase from Nvidia seems unheard of. Those rumors don't sound right to me tbh lol

Just give a VRAM increase and don't make basically every GPU have the same amount of VRAM lmao

I'm just going to use Lossless Scaling for the time being lmao

About to slap in my 2070 Super

[opaque sedge]

Motor u see that below msrp 5080 in microcenter

I’m really tempted to break my 4070s now

[craggy shoal]

I see it now but I'm still going to wait for the next generation lol

[opaque sedge]

Same i prolly wont upgrade till there’s a card thats atleast 60% or 70% faster than the 4070super at 600-800 bucks

But if my 4070super does break within the warranty period of the warranty i got from microcenter

I am totally gonna use the gift card i get back towards a new card

[upper rain]

it's the cheapest way to increase vram. they keep the same boards, coolers, etc and just slot in new memory chips

it would also represent only a minor average gen on gen increase in capacity if you look at from like turing to now for example

plus AMD seems to be outselling Nvidia in DIY. Nvidia dominates OEM ofc, but every retailer's top sellers are Radeons almost across the board

and the handful of Nvidia ones are either below MSRP or last or even last last gen options

[opaque sedge]

By oem do u mean prebuilts?

[upper rain]

yah

[opaque sedge]

Ahh icic

[ashen swan]

if i get a NZXT H6 flow would i be able to remove the RGB with it

[craggy shoal]

Just don't plug in the RGB

[ashen swan]

ohhhhhh

lmao

in addition

Montech centruy II 850w vs NZXT C580

the C580 Is comboed with the case

[dusk knot]

I did

[craggy shoal]

You mean the C850?

Go with the C850. My brother has this PSU and I have a C750 and C1000. None of these have yet to fail (actually surprisingly solid PSUs)

I think they're A-tier too iirc

[ashen swan]

well it turns out i'm overpaying for the case and psu so i stay with the Montech centuryII

[craggy shoal]

Actually don't get that PSU. It's a low priority C-tier PSU

It'll blow up

[ashen swan]

yay

also

[craggy shoal]

We have a channel for this btw #building-and-recc-chat

[ashen swan]

alr

[royal crow]

I thought you said C580 and I thought I'd missed something

[ashen swan]

sorry limmie go there

[craggy shoal]

Other guy said C580

[craggy shoal]

Seasonic of all companies?

[rancid juniper]

yes

[ashen swan]

woah

that's cool

if this lands for 50 dollars more then 5070 MSRP and reaches MSRp

ddamn

i may be over expecting though

it's bvidia

nvidia

[misty sparrow]

Aren’t they the PSU company?

[royal crow]

Yeah

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

Apparently they also sell exactly four different fans on their website

[lone mango]

I watched my xfx from micro center go from 25+ to oos and I saw the msrp powercolor go from 25+ to 7 in stock

powercolor probably oos by now

People are eating radeon up but it looks like amd is not allocating more supply

[upper rain]

they share wafer allocation with ryzen and epyc, both of which have wildly better margins :/

[lone mango]

But also have a limit from tsmc with so many using their fabs

I think they will only sell more if they could use more from tsmc

They will not swap some wafers going towards ai for some consoomer cards

[upper rain]

i think this is partially why they're going so hard with bleeding edge nodes next gen. theoretically less competition over allocation, and more room to dual source from say, an N3P node or smth for lower end but still crazy high performance products

[opaque sedge]

@rancid juniper i am so tempted to update drivers on my 4070super rn…

[rancid juniper]

i forgot what happens when you update it again?

[upper rain]

if Zen 6 is N2 for example, and RDNA5 is N3P, then there is minimal competition. iirc just the IOD for some next gen products are N3 family

[opaque sedge]

Nvidia drivers are unstable, i have a microcenter warranty where if my 4070s borks within two years i get my 6 hundies back, 5080 falls below msrp, i am tempted to update drivers

[lone mango]

Yeah

[rancid juniper]

up to you

[lone mango]

The io die is also gonna be n3p

[opaque sedge]

Nah i still wanna play games not risking losing a gpu given what the markets been like

[upper rain]

dude go for it, 5070 ti is only $150 more than what you'd get back and is crazy better for a lot of things. or if you have the time wait for 5070 ti super and go baller mode

[opaque sedge]

The 4070super gotta bork first

[rancid juniper]

at the end of the day the choice is make or break

[upper rain]

tbf the IOD is bigger than the CCDs, but you need way fewer of them so meh

[upper rain]

true

just 12vhpwr it lel

[opaque sedge]

Imma hope it happens within the next year

[opaque sedge]

Doesnt take that much wattage lol

Its like 200 watts max

I think

[upper rain]

leave it half unplugged, 200a across one or two pins is still a lot

[opaque sedge]

[lone mango]

Its gonna be n2p or n2x too early to tell which

but one of those two

[opaque sedge]

U seem to be quite knowledgeable on this

[upper rain]

i meant more n2 family, but i get it

[lone mango]

well also because it doesnt scale as much so going bleeding edge wont benefit much really

[lone mango]

you were talking about the two and yeah if they do use x then it really might be able to do 7 ghz

[upper rain]

i think even n2p probably could if they really optimize for frequency, but n2x would be insane

[atomic current]

I need something like this but for kb+mouse

my hands are a swamp

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah it is called a desk fan

😐

[royal crow]

What is that

I use a pc fan that has a pwm- USB connector

[atomic current]

I have a little blue thing that blows air on my mouse

I remember snipping off the zipties that had it locked together so I could dust off the blades but then I never bothered to dust the blades lol

[nocturne flicker]

One of these bad boys

All chrome, metal blades to chop fingers off

I joke. This model is 20 years old and was discontinued 10 years ago

Which is why you get one of the various copies still on the market, fan go brrrrrr

[nocturne flicker]

Seriously though I used one for about 12 years

Specifically that model

[atomic current]

it works, I need a second one

there is one somewhere else in the house that runs on usb power I think,

[olive plaza]

Honestly given the circumstances not bad

It's sad his wife won't let him have something he enjoys
