No

Itll be funny if a dev ever figures out how to make Lumen and Nanite not laggy, then posts "skill issue" upon releasing the game

[rancid juniper]

Setting shadows to high or very high has a higher performance penalty than lumen

Which is wild

yea

[dusk knot]

Also the graphics are looking gooooood

However

I’ve heard the performance is not all that good

[rancid juniper]

performs better than silent hill 2 remake but perf is still heavy

turning down a couple settings like shaders and shadows definitely helps

the screenshot you're looking at isn't max graphics settings

I don't think the launcher itself can do it on its own but you can edit the files and flash it on

steller blade only 20% off on steam, sadge

where the sales at sony

[tranquil pebble]

a lot of the games are on a stupidly weak discount I noticed

like this... seriously? still not worth it

[random osprey]

in comparison to other remasters id say its worth it since its a remake and has modding support but in todays gaming economy, not worth

[lethal jasper]

As a desktop, secondary monitor and main computer

[tranquil pebble]

nah the quality of the game is just bad on a technical level

[lethal jasper]

Like with an external monitor and peripherals

[tranquil pebble]

Oblivion does not belong in UE5

[lone mango]

It really is the same game but just looks different

ui is also bad

you really might as well get the old one and mod it to hell

at least it will run well and still look good enough

a slap in the face to me is that the Yakuza games have not gone down as far discounted as they were before the show came out and its annoying me because I want to buy the yakuza collection but not for $70 bucks when it was down to $45 before.

like yakuza 0 is 10.99 but has been down to like 5 bucks

[elfin mural]

because Bad Apple itself is like that

I mean if you're on Windows with default audio stuff, already at like maybe 80ms+ audio latency lol

So prolly not too hard to ignore other latency issues with rhythm games cuz it's already pain

damn

even rings get the swolly swollen battery?

[lethal jasper]

Because it’s not up to me to get a desktop or a laptop

if it were i’d get a desktop but my father wants to buy me a laptop

[nocturne flicker]

Almost as if smart rings aren't a smart idea

[lethal jasper]

you know what is a smart idea?

Tungsten ring

Gold mid

[elfin mural]

anything with a battery will fail eventually

[nocturne flicker]

Anything smart will become dumb

Some even ship from the factory dumb

Like a smart ring

[elfin mural]

and you have to connect it to a smartphone

to make it smart

[lone mango]

Who remembers when goon had a meaning closer to henchman or idiot

Rather than goon

[elfin mural]

me

[dense locust]

Any battery has the chance to become swollen

If it was smartly designed they could’ve made it so the swollen ring spread outwards instead inwards

[elfin mural]

oooorrrr

make the ring two piece

attach em with a mechanism

[lethal jasper]

Hi foxy

Did you see the ping yesterday in recc chat

honestly i didn't see, sorry

[lethal jasper]

Ok

[lethal jasper]

[lethal jasper]

Between msi, asus and lenovo, what would you say is the best brand to get a 3 kg slab of rgb from (gaming laptop)

Whould the 8gb of vram on the laptop 5070s be a concern

[elfin mural]

get a lenovo or an asus, don't consider msi

[lethal jasper]

What’s wrong with msi

And what about acer

[elfin mural]

msi often struggles to make a good laptop without big compromises

like a pretty loud fan noise

acer is an even bigger no

[lethal jasper]

I don’t mind that

[lethal jasper]

Ok

[elfin mural]

it's not just loud, it's loud enough to be annoying to others

[lethal jasper]

Im not planning on using it out of my home

[elfin mural]

i'd get a tuf or a legion, strix depends on the price

preferably amd, with zen 5

[lethal jasper]

I wanted to get a desktop but my father said the university only allowed him to get a laptop

[lethal jasper]

Only amds i found are msi

[lone mango]

When I get a job ima get an amd laptop

Perhaps I can give this one to my dad or maybe use this as a server

Laptops are very efficient servers

[elfin mural]

well

you gotta show me your available choices

[lethal jasper]

MSI Vector A18 HX A9WHG-259IL

9955hx and a 5070ti/5080

[elfin mural]

vector a18 is good at least

[lethal jasper]

what about a6

a16

or katana 15

[elfin mural]

katana, eh

[lethal jasper]

i'll try to get this one:

[elfin mural]

a16 is cheaper

[lethal jasper]

should i get a cooling pad or something

cus i dont want it to heat up so much

[elfin mural]

these laptops have enough cooling

they don't need a cooling pad

it would keep dust away tho but that's about it

a good cooling pad is pricey as well

[lethal jasper]

i was told the a18 also cools better with the screen open, is this true?

[elfin mural]

yes, it was confirmed in jarrod's tech

[lethal jasper]

are IETS pads good?

[elfin mural]

ye

[lethal jasper]

i thought maybe i could have the laptop as a secondary monitor and the pc itself on the side connected to a main monitor and on a cooling pad

with a connection dock and stuff

[upper rain]

likely story... we all know what the butter drawer is really for

[pliant berry]

This was on linux so im not sure how the latency compares

[lethal jasper]

If i do a main 24 inch qhd monitor connected to the laptop and use the laptop on a pad connected to an arm or just on the desk, would that work well?

[lethal jasper]

Like have the screen off when im just gaming but on when im in a call or doing stuff where i need to tab out constantly

[elfin mural]

yes

[lethal jasper]

My father said it’s too expensive

No more than 9k NIS so i might have to resort to a 5070

[icy ore]

[lethal jasper]

I’ll try to find some i7 and 5070 one and send you the model

[unreal trail]

Microsoft Edge is optimized for Windows!

[elfin mural]

5070 ain't bad

it just lacks vram, so you'll wanna crank game settings down a notch or two

[lethal jasper]

Should still be enough because im not planning on playing any AAA games

[elfin mural]

then you're good

[lethal jasper]

just 12gb with the 5070ti has more headroom

[elfin mural]

more than good lol

[lethal jasper]

Lenovo legion good?

[elfin mural]

yes

[lethal jasper]

Should i bother with the core ultra processors?

[lethal jasper]

I mean the new laptops with 15th gen intel processors

[elfin mural]

if battery life matters a lot

by all means, yes

[lethal jasper]

No

[elfin mural]

if not just don't bother

[lethal jasper]

Whats better legion or loq

[elfin mural]

legion

[lethal jasper]

Like in general

[elfin mural]

loq is good, but it's a step below legion

[craggy shoal]

I like my Legion

[lethal jasper]

Is the cooling good on legions

[elfin mural]

yes

[craggy shoal]

I have an i7 in mine (I think it's a 14650HX[?]) and a 4070 laptop GPU in mine. Just prop the laptop up and each of those will reach a max of ~85°C (completely fine for these components)

Don't prop it up and it'll be more like low 90s

But I mean that’s also with a 14th gen i7, so it'll be hot nevertheless

I should test thermals later when I'm at work lol (yes I take it to work)

[elfin mural]

yeah 14th gen intel HX isn't known for running cool

[lethal jasper]

Please do

[elfin mural]

a cooling pad will bring temps down

[craggy shoal]

Just don't get one with a 14th gen i7 tbh. It's a laptop and I think the TDP on this CPU is in the 100s (watts) lolll

157W BRUH

[lethal jasper]

Idm the tdp since im not gonna take it anywhere

[lethal jasper]

So i should go 15th or 13th

Doubt there will be 13th gens with 50 series gpus

[tranquil pebble]

no but 13th gen + 40 series exists

[craggy shoal]

Look for one with a Ryzen CPU instead. If you're going with Intel, you're either getting a hotter CPU that performs good with a weaker GPU (because 40 series GPUs), or vice versa

With AMD, you get newer and better cooled CPUs that'll perform better (along with the newer GPUs)

[lethal jasper]

no amds at my price range

[craggy shoal]

Hmmm okay

I mean a Core Ultra can't be THAT bad I guess

Personality I'd prioritize the GPU over the CPU in a laptop

Laptop manufacturers know how to pair a CPU with a GPU without the GPU being bottlenecked (I mean, of course they would, right?) So if you're looking for a 5070 (Ti) laptop GPU level of performance, shop for that instead of primarily whatever CPU it'll come with

[velvet summit]

I just noticed that one of my group mates for one of my classes has a profile picture that is literally just a picture of their phone with the lock screen showing

[lethal jasper]

ig a Lenovo Legion 5-15IRX10 83LY00BSIV would work?

5070, i7 13650, 32gb ddr5

[craggy shoal]

13650HX? Or just H? Either is fine tbh

I'm surprised that comes with a 5070 tbh lol. If you'll make so that thermals aren't an issue (using a cooling stand, not taking it anywhere with you, etc.), it's a fine pick

[lethal jasper]

HX

[craggy shoal]

Also, 14th gen will pretty much be just as hot

Yeah that’s a good CPU

[lethal jasper]

alr

i'll ask my father if that works

[velvet summit]

Dear god

This keyboard has the copilot button

[lethal jasper]

would it work for 1440p 24 inch?

[velvet summit]

Oh

They upgraded the whole system

WAIT

DAMN????

64gb ram on the school computers

[lethal jasper]

theres also this

| Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI

5070ti and an ultra 9 275hx

[velvet summit]

How is there no AMD within your price range but you can get a 5070ti

[lethal jasper]

thats how

[velvet summit]

Still

Nvidia is like the more expensive option usually outside of the US market as well

I'm also not in the US market

[lethal jasper]

we're talking about laptops here

or at least i am

[velvet summit]

Oh

Ok laptops may be a bit more difficult then

[lethal jasper]

@elfin mural would you say this is a good one? or not worth getting cus you said acer is bad

[craggy shoal]

Don't get an Acer lol

About on par with HP in terms of quality

[elfin mural]

that helios neo doesn't really have any issues

but

it can't switch out of 240hz somehow

if that bothers you, you have to avoid it

otherwise- not really

[velvet summit]

I had an HP that was a tank ong
That was also over 10 years ago though

[elfin mural]

it's good enough

[lethal jasper]

i had an hp and the fan died 2 months in

im not buying another hp

[velvet summit]

Damn

Last time I had an HP it was in 2010 lol

[lethal jasper]

m1 mac still working fine after 3 years of use while the HP shat itself 2 months in

[elfin mural]

but i never really have much experience with acer

might be better to get a legion anyway

[lethal jasper]

this one is alright right?

idm the shit screen since im gonna use a monitor

[velvet summit]

It's not really that shit for that screen size tbf

[lethal jasper]

true

[velvet summit]

Idk if it's shit in colour accuracy but pixel density isn't too terrible at the screen size

[lethal jasper]

omfg

[elfin mural]

the screen is great

iirc that panel is 100% srgb

with reasonably decent response times

[velvet summit]

Damn

[elfin mural]

and 300 nits brightness

[lethal jasper]

what about airflow

[elfin mural]

it's a legion

it has no airflow issues

[lethal jasper]

nice

[velvet summit]

That is kinda mid for a laptop tbf

[lethal jasper]

its fine

[elfin mural]

that's the standard for most ips laptop panels tbh

[velvet summit]

Indoor only laptop pretty much

[elfin mural]

at least lenovo is not throwing a 50% srgb panel

it's matte at 300 nits

[lethal jasper]

i have 400 nits on my M1 air and i find no issue at school or home

[elfin mural]

still not suitable for outdoor ofc, but it shouldn't matter for this guy's case

indoors usage

and i would assume in lecture rooms

[lethal jasper]

nah got a mac for that

just at home

works well and doesnt have a turbofan engine in it

[ashen swan]

Does the Lian Li a3Matx a decent case ?

[lethal jasper]

yes

good case

[ashen swan]

ah

i see

thank you

[lethal jasper]

but airflow is limited

are you planning on getting the glass or mesh

[ashen swan]

i mean glass

yeah

glass

[elfin mural]

the legion happens to max out at about 52db with max fans

[velvet summit]

Wait
Why not get a desktop then

[lethal jasper]

i mean its still good

[lethal jasper]

because its not up to me

[elfin mural]

which is quiet

[ashen swan]

i mean it's cheap

[lethal jasper]

if i was able to get one then i would

[lethal jasper]

yea

i planned to get it

[velvet summit]

Why does your dad want you to get another laptop

[lethal jasper]

cus he wants to buy through uni

[velvet summit]

Oh

[lethal jasper]

and they only allowed him a laptop

[velvet summit]

Is the discount good?

[lethal jasper]

its free apparently

[velvet summit]

Oh

[lethal jasper]

not sure if its free free or taken from paycheck free

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[lethal jasper]

ig i can use it as a makeshift desktop tho

have it on a cooling pad which is on an arm which is connectd to a 24 inch qhd

[elfin mural]

you can

[velvet summit]

It would just be a loud ass desktop

[elfin mural]

the legion also has thunderbolt 4

[lethal jasper]

nice

[lethal jasper]

well

[elfin mural]

actually the legion isn't all that loud

[lethal jasper]

idc

[elfin mural]

it only maxes out at 52db full tilt

that's below the too loud threshold

[velvet summit]

Louder than a desktop

[lethal jasper]

yea

we get it

we know

[elfin mural]

yeah of course, relatively

[lethal jasper]

desktops are better

[velvet summit]

Free is free though

[lethal jasper]

true

[elfin mural]

relative to other gaming laptops, this one is pretty quiet

[lethal jasper]

but is it free free or paycheck free

[elfin mural]

it's the quietest thus far

[velvet summit]

Schrodinger's free

[lethal jasper]

should i repate my m1 air?

repaste

or idk

[velvet summit]

Do you still have apple warranty

[lethal jasper]

good question

no idea

[velvet summit]

Idk if you have consumer protection for not getting your warranty voided for just opening something

[lethal jasper]

thats a no

[elfin mural]

how long have you had the laptop for?

[lethal jasper]

2 years

[elfin mural]

if a couple years it's ok enough

[velvet summit]

Then yeah repaste

[elfin mural]

maybe consider it now

[lethal jasper]

maybe if i get a cooling pad off amazon i'll try to get some ptm7950 too ig?

[elfin mural]

i mean good old paste would work well regardless

the ptm stuff just makes the process easier i guess

[lethal jasper]

Ok

Ig could 3d print those modular stands

[plain stone]

finally actually actively learning how to switch to linux now

i'll probably do OpenSuse with KDE Plasma
rather than having to deal with Arch, though I would like to try in the future, both traditional way and the super easy arch installer

[lethal jasper]

Oh great my oven lamp is burnt 😭

And i already put the pizza in

[ashen swan]

This is kinda a strange list

like

14600K/KF should be at least in high C tier or lowest in B tier

i'm afraid he did not cook

oh nvm it was one year ago

[worn night]

there no 9800x3d

[ashen swan]

yeah this was June 2024

[craggy shoal]

tf kinda ranking 💀

[craggy shoal]

This guy is using Linux as a client side machine 💀

[ashen swan]

My Dream for B770 Is
16~18GB
GGR6X or 6
17% more peformance then 5060
MSRP: 330USD and 350USD market price
265W or so

[median kelp]

oh hell nah I've seen the 7900 for sale a couple times for $280-330 and for that price it's such a beast of a productivity cpu

I kinda agree with the 12600KF, I keep seeing it on flash sales for $90-110, the only issue is finding a cheap enough LGA 1700 Board to actually make it worth it

12700K has often $250 complete bundles at microcenter so that's pretty good placement

the 9900X3D has the same issue that I think 8GB gpus have, more and more games are utilizing more and more, and eventually the cpu is going to have to pull from that second ccd and get crazy latency + mix matched cache penalties

7600X3D is a great cpu, but microcenter sells it for a whopping $300 and it makes absolutely no sense at that price

[royal crow]

Sir you get that 265k right into a tier😭

[median kelp]

Issue with the core ultra 2 series is definitely motherboard pricing

Intel needs to actually like try and push entire platform costs down

[royal crow]

Mine was $210 ot Microcenter

At

[median kelp]

they are really good budget oriented all around cpus

Yeah but if I'm spending that much to get into an ecosystem

[royal crow]

Fair

[median kelp]

Why would I not get into an ecosystem that gets update support until 2029

when intel kills their MB's after 2-3 years usually

[royal crow]

Wait wrong reply💀

[royal crow]

They are good of you want to save on a gpu tho

[median kelp]

Intels biggest problem is that AMD is better at gaming and high end productivity, so intels main market would be like AMD for 1st and 2nd and 3rd gen ryzen

Make it so cheap with a good upgrade path that you essentially force marketshare

but instead they're like

14nm 6 core cpu in 2025

[royal crow]

Fr

I thought they killed their 14nm process tho

[median kelp]

They have it spun up still for some things that don't need cutting edge

like car infotainment systems

[royal crow]

Ah

[median kelp]

Yeah they have some enterprise customers that need custom chips that only use a small bit of processing power

and you don't really care how much power those pull

I think they're just trying to fill out the rest of the remaining 14nm process they have going

That was their issue with their 18a process

they didn't have any commercial customers signed up

and said they'd have to skip it

I think they're using it for CPU clusters for Nvidia now with that partnership

Because nvidia has learned arm is kinda holding them back for some applications and they're sure as hell not going with AMD

I just don't know why Nvidia would invest vs. try to make their own x86 architecture, even if it'd take years and probably tens or hundreds of billions of dollars

they have the resources

I guess it's kind of good for them to help out intel a little bit

[ashen swan]

this is only for gaming btw

[olive plaza]

Well if you're at the mercy of your father's choice then whatever you get is great

Also keep in mind, even if he gets you a normal laptop not designed for gaming, there are lots of fun indie games that work on a basic computer

Don't let a lack of specs get in the way of your enjoyment

If you have access to a PC now, I recommend making an account with Epic Games and claiming the free games they give out each week until you get your computer. The kind of games they give away are often lower spec and will work on a lot wider range of computers

[lethal jasper]

Epic games are pieces of shit im not using anything from them anymore

[lethal jasper]

And he gave some good headroom so i can get an i7 and 5070 laptop

[olive plaza]

So it sounds like you're not looking for answers to your questions, moreso looking for validation of your own assertions. Good luck and i hope you wind up with a really good computer!

[median kelp]

5070 laptop isn't too bad

it's actually a 5060Ti 8GB desktop chip

literally the exact spec

[lethal jasper]

oh nice

[median kelp]

the only issue is don't get a laptop with a 1440P or higher panel

you do not have the vram for any panel over 1080P

[lethal jasper]

8gb of vram is enough for my games in 1440p

[median kelp]

My laptop is a r9 270 + 5070 and is a good backup or vacation gaming machine for me

[lethal jasper]

if only it had 12gb of vram

[median kelp]

for your current games

[lethal jasper]

yea

[median kelp]

People usually keep laptops for 4+ years

[olive plaza]

There's two types of gaming laptop customers

[lethal jasper]

is it 8x?

or 16x

[olive plaza]

1. People who buy a fairly basic gaming laptop and expect it to perform like a desktop, they hate it within a year and it ends up on the used market
2. People who buy a laptop with good expectations of what it can do and they keep it for several years

[olive plaza]

This part doesn't matter

[median kelp]

if you're talking about pcie, if the mobile cpu supports it, it connects with a x16

[olive plaza]

A desktop 5060ti isn't fast enough to saturate 4x let alone 8x

[median kelp]

actually pcie bandwidth is important when out of vram because then it's using the slot to access system memory

When out of vram, even pcie version matters too

[olive plaza]

It's important for sure if you run out of VRAM... but whether you have 4x or 16x you'll have a bad time

The stutters and jitters will just be worse on a slower or narrower bus

But they'll still be heavily noticeable when on 5.0 x16

[median kelp]

no no like hardware unboxed did a test and at some points

it's 80% performance difference

when out of vram

like 30 vs 50 kinda situation

can I send links in this channel

[olive plaza]

Yes and the 1% and .1% lows were equally bad all the time lol

Like 3fps vs 8fps

It was an exercise in proving you should avoid running out of VRAM at all costs

[median kelp]

oh yeah the stutters are terrible but still the performance is very difference between the two

https://www.techspot.com/review/3003-amd-radeon-9060-xt-pcie-benchmark/

Incase anyone else wants to read

[olive plaza]

My takeaway on that was, the stutters are so bad it's basically unplayable regardless

[median kelp]

[olive plaza]

Lower settings until you're within the VRAM buffer

[median kelp]

We're going to hit a point soon where 8GB is not enough for low settings

[grand wasp]

omg ScatterVolt! I know that guy.

[median kelp]

we've hit that point pretty much with 6GB cards where low settings are using 5.5 GB

[olive plaza]

8GB isn't truly enough for Monster Hunter

Even though the recommended card is a 3070

[median kelp]

Doesn't 1080P medium use like 8.2 GB

[olive plaza]

Yeah it's because DLSS is on by default

[median kelp]

If you don't use upscaling it literally exceeds the vram buffer

[median kelp]

dlss quality gets it under 8GB

[lethal jasper]

uses 8 lanes

[olive plaza]

... DLSS takes more VRAM

[lethal jasper]

isnt it like a 500mb difference

[median kelp]

dlaa does

and there is a penalty

but it depends what setting you're running dlss at

[lethal jasper]

isnt 16 gb/s still good

[olive plaza]

In what context

[lethal jasper]

ram

[olive plaza]

For VRAM?

[lethal jasper]

transfer rate from gpu to ram if vram is full

[median kelp]

PCIE 5 does a lot more than that

it's 64GB/s

[olive plaza]

I didn't realize mobile chips were running 5.0

[median kelp]

yeah the issue is with the mobile chips

is most laptop manufacturers

cheap out with the pcie bus

so some laptops only run x8 or x4

and make running out of vram or borderline (when it starts swapping smaller assets) MUCH WORSE

[lethal jasper]

does the laptop 5070 use that?

[olive plaza]

It's not cheaping out, this is a design decision made to curb power consumption and heat output

[median kelp]

depends on the manufacturer and what the mobile cpu uses

my laptop only uses a x8 to the gpu

but I think that's a limit of the ryzen 9 270

[olive plaza]

The wider and higher the bus speed, the more power consumption

Let's say it makes idk a 15W difference

If the whole laptop is only allowed 180W from its power adapter that's a huge difference

[lethal jasper]

the legion uses pcie 4

[median kelp]

my laptop also uses pcie 4

so it's only using pcie 4 x 8

which is enough for the 5070 mobile

just not if it's swapping assets

if you have the budget and it's going to be your primary machine

really look at the 5070ti mobile

it's only like 15-20% faster but it has a 12GB vram buffer

[lethal jasper]

16gb/s still seems pretty good

[median kelp]

it's actually crippling

[lethal jasper]

why

[olive plaza]

Another option would be to see if anyone is selling a 30 series gaming laptop

I think the mobile 3080ti has more vram

[lethal jasper]

yea no

[median kelp]

16GB/s is extremely slow

[lethal jasper]

is the stuttering usually from the way slower speed or from something else?

[median kelp]

like that's nearly the same transfer speed of ddr3 1866mhz

[lethal jasper]

damn

[median kelp]

yeah no it's crippling if it can't use the full bandwidth

https://www.techspot.com/review/3003-amd-radeon-9060-xt-pcie-benchmark/

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

[median kelp]

this shows you how bad low pcie bandwidth is when you start running out of vram

[olive plaza]

3080ti mobile is 16gb

[lethal jasper]

i checked and my current 1060 always maxes the vram but how come i dont feel stuttering?

[median kelp]

would recommend either used like doug said, or if you want newer features like frame generation, go for a 5070Ti mobile if its your cpu

[median kelp]

allocation or utilization?

a lot of people see the vram number and think it's actually being used

the block allocated doesn't always mean used

[lethal jasper]

the 5070ti versions are too expensive

[median kelp]

then I would find you a 5070 mobile laptop with a 1080P panel

[lethal jasper]

idk tbh, what msi afterburner shows with the overlay thing

[median kelp]

by default it only shows allocation, but you can go in and toggle both

[lethal jasper]

ah

[median kelp]

for example I'm playing borderlands 1 rn

[lethal jasper]

if the vram is full there will be stuttering right

[median kelp]

that number on the left is the default showing

but that number on the right is what the game is actually using

[lethal jasper]

ah

[median kelp]

depends on how much it's over

nvidia drivers are pretty good at low vram, they will swap small assets first that are easier to transfer, so it'll get more noticeable the more you're over

[next knoll]

Yeah that too with 8gb + vram I'm stuck with 8gb on my 3080 mobile

[lethal jasper]

is it possible to have the overlay only show on 1 monitor?

[median kelp]

it only shows on the one I play games on, idk if that's the default or not

[lethal jasper]

i mean if there are 2 monitors

[median kelp]

I have 3

but it'll only ever appear on the one I'm gaming on

[lethal jasper]

does it show it on the monitor running the game? or all of them

[lethal jasper]

oh gg

cus would be nice to have it on the corner of the laptop screen and not the monitor

Bruh I'm at a community college (for work) wtf

[craggy shoal]

bro we also got a bomb threat LMAOOO YOU BETTER CHILL 💀💀💀

[median kelp]

Don't ask to doxx him what

[lethal jasper]

planning on getting a lenovo

[craggy shoal]

The moon

[lethal jasper]

my bad

[next knoll]

I mean which location

[craggy shoal]

Houston

[lethal jasper]

wait

no

not like that 😭

[median kelp]

Just make sure if it's a 1440P panel you have your expectations set

[next knoll]

Wow America

[median kelp]

8GB is rough on the 5070

I have a 5070 mobile in mine

and that's at 1080P

[craggy shoal]

They just cleared the threat too. It wasn't at my campus but the campus with the threat hired a bomb squad. They just cleared the threat right as I mentioned the bomb threat lol

[next knoll]

Yeah 8gb is tight

[lethal jasper]

i tried warthunder on movie in my 1060 on 1440p and i didnt see any problems other than vram (which i probably read wrong)

do i go gym now or tommorow in the morning

[median kelp]

keep in mind war thunder is also a 13 year old game that's designed to run on as many gpus as possible

[lethal jasper]

ik

shits optimised for everything

[median kelp]

It was optimized to run on xbox one and ps4 and the 1060 is about as strong as an xbox one x

which runs war thunder at I think 1800P?

[lethal jasper]

what year is the xbox one from

[median kelp]

2013

[lethal jasper]

damn

[median kelp]

yeah and it's still getting updates on those platforms

esports and other light games like war thunder are not good representations of the shortcomings of the 8GB gpus

games like MHW and BL4 will absolutely cremate my 5070 mobile

if I don't have dlss set to quality or lower on MHW I literally run out of vram on medium settings

[lethal jasper]

uh

what does mhw and bl4 stand for

[proud jackal]

[median kelp]

monster hunter wilds and borderlands 4

[lethal jasper]

oh

yea im not playing any of those

[proud jackal]

The new mhw FF box hurt me

Boss

[median kelp]

But at the same time my laptop is not my primary gaming machine I only use it for when I'm on trips or in bed usually

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-gamers-nexus-pc-bomb-planted-gif-22845602

[median kelp]

or I wanna game in the living room I will hook it up downstairs

[lethal jasper]

true

[median kelp]

inside a nzxt case?

maybe the two fires will fight for dominance and put themselves out

[lethal jasper]

3 dollar aliexpress 5 pack fans too

[craggy shoal]

With Aliexpress motherboard (somehow with a northbridge and southbridge setup on an AM5 platform)

[lethal jasper]

fire

[lethal jasper]

32 gb of ram should be enough right?

[craggy shoal]

yes

[median kelp]

yeah

some 5070 level laptops

also come with 2 x 12GB which will also be plenty

[craggy shoal]

Just look for the GPU in laptops tbh lol (but also RAM of course)

24GB is the bare minimum I would go tbh

[median kelp]

I disagree with this but at the same time my laptop isn't my primary system

[lethal jasper]

the 5060 legion is also 8gb of vram

but eh

mid

[lethal jasper]

is 8gb enough for rdr?

[median kelp]

16GB of ram is okay for now, but I wouldn't do it if you only have an 8GB vram buffer

[lethal jasper]

kinda wanna get the 2 games and play the story mode

[median kelp]

yeah rdr2 is kinda old now

it's 7 years old

[lethal jasper]

what about fh 6

[median kelp]

any game that's 3+ years old should be fine on 8GB

[lethal jasper]

or fm6

should i even get any forza motorsport cus ur kinda bound to a track and no open world right?

[median kelp]

forza motorsport is more for

sim setup players imo

[lethal jasper]

i played it like once on a cruise and thats it lmao

[median kelp]

I enjoy FH a lot more

[lethal jasper]

i assume fh6 would have a bigger vram demand than fh5?

[median kelp]

FH6 will probably push graphics a lot like Indiana jones did

[craggy shoal]

My philosophy is that manufacturers know how to pair a CPU with a laptop. So if you're gaming (which you probably are if you're getting a laptop with a dGPU), you should really only worry about how much RAM it has along with which GPU it has

That's what I did with my Legion 5i (14650HX, 32GB, and a 4070), when I could've gotten something with maybe a nicer CPU but a weaker GPU (like a 4060)

[median kelp]

it depends what you're using it for

[craggy shoal]

I agree with that too though

[median kelp]

my laptop is used way more for school and work than gaming

for me I wanted a machine that would run 10 hours on battery that had PD charging

[craggy shoal]

But for gaming, just look at the GPU. RAM can also be upgraded later if they cheap out on that

[median kelp]

but could be my vacation gaming machine

[median kelp]

not always make sure you double check it's expandable

[lethal jasper]

i should keep the laptop out as a secondary screen instead of tucking it somewhere right?

[craggy shoal]

I think I already have an idea of what it is, but what kind of CPU/GPU setup does it have?

[median kelp]

R9 270 + 5070 mobile

I got it for $1150 on members only sale at best buy

The battery life is a lot better and it's a very slim laptop

[craggy shoal]

That kind of setup lasts ten hours?

[lethal jasper]

are triple digit amd cpus mobile versions or something?

[median kelp]

it doesn't look super gamey

[median kelp]

yeah my cpu only be pulling about 8-10 watts in silent mode

[craggy shoal]

My 14650HX could never last 10 hours 💀

wow

[median kelp]

Intel absolutely SUCKS on mobile power efficiency and I have no clue why they are so dominant in that space

I think it's their bulk pricing

the r9 270 is a zen 4 chip though it's not latest and greatest

but it's high clocked 8 core

on "silent"

it turns off 4 cores and turns into a beast of a machine

[lethal jasper]

do some laptops not come with an os?

[median kelp]

I think around 40% utilization it'll unpark the rest but it works out great

[median kelp]

all laptops should unless you're buying used and they gutted the drive

[lethal jasper]

or is the option for an os just some money grab bullshit

[median kelp]

It's probably an option to upgrade to pro

Mine had an $80 option to upgrade to windows 11 pro

[craggy shoal]

I think the closest to a laptop not coming with an OS is going with a Framework laptop and just straight up not including the drive your build lol

[lethal jasper]

i remember in one of the things there were 3 options, win11 home, in11 pro and no os

[median kelp]

but I just bought a $15 grey market key

[median kelp]

no OS is for those installing linux

[lethal jasper]

ah

[median kelp]

Or if you want an older windows version

[lethal jasper]

i kinda like macos just cus of the simplicity and limitations but shame its only for apple devices

[median kelp]

Didn't used to be that way, you could install it pretty easily on intel cpu devices, but then they moved to apple silicon

[lethal jasper]

i remember seeing some vid for an addon that makes win11 look like macos

[median kelp]

there's lots of skins

most popular is the windows 10 one

[craggy shoal]

If you're given the option, you can option the laptop with Linux (if the option is available) but install Windows when you receive the laptop

"But what about activation? What about that makes it 'cheaper?'" If you're good with PowerShell and know a really helpful command that I shouldn't list here, you just saved a couple hundred bucks on a Windows Pro activation

[lethal jasper]

What does win11 pro even have to offer

[median kelp]

if you're asking that question it is not going to be useful to you

I test a lot of stuff using Hyper V but

[craggy shoal]

Idk everything when it comes to Home vs Pro but I use Pro specifically for RDP

[median kelp]

if you don't need remoting in or things like hyper v or the expanded memory (you can do up to 2TB on pro)

there's not much point

you can do I think up to 192? on windows 11 home

oh it's 128

damn you can't even run 4 x 48GB dimms on windows 11 home

that's crazy

you can't even run a maxed out consumer platform

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I only use it for RDP lol

And I didn't pay for it (because I know of a fun PowerShell command that I'm not allowed to mention here)

[median kelp]

to be fair

grey market windows 11 keys

are like $15

Link to not included

[craggy shoal]

True but I prefer free

It's not like MS needs all the money anyways lol

[median kelp]

it's not like MS is seeing the money from that key

it's a resold vendor key

[craggy shoal]

True but free is better than paying $15 lol

Why pay $15 when you can get it for free?

[median kelp]

because $15 worth hassle free

[craggy shoal]

It's a single PowerShell command lol

[lethal jasper]

Does anyone still pay for the windows 365 trial

[dusk knot]

Hm

[north crescent]

Dont know much about defaults, but afaik should be pretty easy to get linux audio latency <10ms

[craggy shoal]

"windows 365" you either mean Windows the operating system or Office 365

[lethal jasper]

office

[craggy shoal]

And nobody pays for a trial lol

[dusk knot]

Say what?

[lethal jasper]

Power point anc shit

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I don't pay for that. That command I mentioned also activates office lol (still not mentioning it here due to the rules)

[lethal jasper]

The humble google drive

I mean as in it made office go extinct

[median kelp]

wym

you can still buy office keys

[craggy shoal]

Yeah Google's Office equivalent is also an option I guess lol

[median kelp]

I still use full office

Microsoft just likes to hide office

because they want suscription

but you can still buy full retail permanent access

[craggy shoal]

I can't remember the last time I paid for a Microsoft service other than GamePass lol. Not even cloud storage

[lethal jasper]

Oh gg

does office have online features?

[craggy shoal]

Yes

I guess

idk

Wym?

[median kelp]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p/office-home-2024/cfq7ttc0pqvj

they like to hide this

you have to actually search for it

if you click office through navigation it is not listed as an option

[craggy shoal]

I hate this decade of web development. I only clicked on a link. Lemme look at it first ffs

[lethal jasper]

I mean like google drive where you can just send a link and the guy can see and/or edit the file

[craggy shoal]

Yes

[lethal jasper]

damn

[north crescent]

Could also use OnlyOffice or LibreOffice

[lethal jasper]

Only office sounds funny

[median kelp]

libre office kinda goated for linux

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/seasame-street-seasame-street-martians-book-gif-19927585

[lone mango]

It is actually easier the true way

And you also are not supporting fraud while also saving $15

[lone mango]

I love onlyoffice

Better than libre imo

[median kelp]

never used only office tbh

[lethal jasper]

I assume the legion 5 would run fh6, warthunder, hd2 and the 2 rdrs in 1080p with no problem, right?

What about 1440 low-medium settings

[craggy shoal]

Yeah shouldn't have an issue at either resolution

[lethal jasper]

Roblox too ig cus i play quite demanding games (in comparison to other games on roblox that is)

But thats like

yea

[lethal jasper]

Nice

[lethal jasper]

Would dlss like do anything or is it strong enough to the point i dont need dlss

[craggy shoal]

You need DLSS for pretty much most games nowadays lol

Pretty much anything that runs on UE5 will need DLSS

Forza shouldn't need it though (idk if FH6 runs on UE5 but I doubt it will)

[median kelp]

Idk about FH6 because it's not out yet or even have specs posted, but the rest will be fine

HD2 uses about 6GB of vram at highest settings at 1080P it's not too bad

[dusk knot]

The truth

The laziness is getting out of hand

Soon frame gen will be the norm

For a 60fps experience

[opaque sedge]

Inagine fh6 gets good framerates but suffers from constant frame drops

I wouldn’t be mad with most ue5 games if they didn’t suffer from constant frame drops

[lethal jasper]

@elfin mural sorry for the ping, but i found a Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8 82Y9008YIV, has a ryzen 7 and a 4070

What can I do about my 3 y/o gaming computer that cannot run Win 11?

[misty sparrow]

why can't it run windows 11

does it tell you why?

[tall egret]

Not sure. How do I find that out?

[misty sparrow]

okay, it has Win10 right now right?

[tall egret]

Yes

go here, get the PC health check tool and run it

[tall egret]

it says I need TPM 2

[misty sparrow]

You could check your BIOS to see if your PC has TPM

some people have it but it isn't enabled

[tall egret]

Where is that?

[misty sparrow]

your BIOS or where TPM is?

Uh sure, I'll set your alarm for 2 hours and 51 minutes

It'll play a single note at F sharp for 10 seconds at 100dB

[worn night]

guys my pc has been working fine for the entirety of its current iterations' existence

and yet randomly

for no apparent reason

my vga light is on on my mobo

like, its displaying to my monitor and i can game with no errors and it just has that light on

<@&525119001324683264> ?

sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt

just solid white light

[somber skiff]

@worn night you broke it

[worn night]

nuh uh

how do i make light go away

[somber skiff]

Unplug it

[worn night]

this is techie support not goof off support

its obnoxious unless i have everything else set to white

[somber skiff]

This is general chat, you pinged a role to fix something you can google

[worn night]

always better to get real person experience

[craggy shoal]

I can't wait for the day that Discord accidentally goes without any sort of moderation or auto moderation so I can drop the most diabolically disgusting message that #general-chat has ever seen

Who tf was crank 💀

[somber skiff]

You've got some steep competition

[nocturne flicker]

Wait no

[worn night]

reddit says its bc i turned on my monitor after my pc

[nocturne flicker]

I wasn't going to send that one yet

[worn night]

is it that important

[worn night]

Bros techie was atomized

[nocturne flicker]

Is fat banned?

Wait, no that isn't

[craggy shoal]

Who's fat?

[somber skiff]

I took the role off myself. Too many of these pings

[nocturne flicker]

I used the term for when you miss press a button due to large fingers

Apparently the second part of the phrase is not allowed

[worn night]

people getting mad at pings truly amazes me

they have that "this little thing so annoying wah" mindset

[nocturne flicker]

Also me

[hoary zodiac]

Didn't know you were a green role damn

Used to seeing the yellow tint

[somber skiff]

One like and I'll turn it red

[hoary zodiac]

Oh you have the funny role

lmao

[somber skiff]

haha there have been a lot of these lately, figure it's time I opt out

[hoary zodiac]

I have discord muted

And DMs closed

I've been barely active for the last week or two

[sinful blade]

Do you want me to take off funny and bot

So I don’t bother you with that

(Also since we can no longer self-grant admin)

[somber skiff]

I just de-techied to avoid the pings like above

[hoary zodiac]

Can I have the funny role

[sinful blade]

sorry

[nocturne flicker]

You are not funny sorry 😊

(I kid)

[sinful blade]

Not funny enough @hoary zodiac
