By a large margin

#

I think nvidia did a good job lowering their supply before blackwell came out

heavy dew
#

bro jawa doesnt even show the rest of the card

#

they show front and back sides

#

i need to see the god damn ports

#

oh they put it in the description

#

thank god

ashen swan
lone mango
#

True they should add two more pictures on every post

ashen swan
heavy dew
#

damn none of them have two HDMI ports

#

they all have single HDMI

frigid stag
#

basically no one does anyway

heavy dew
#

i would have to get a cable

frigid stag
#

unless youre selling

ashen swan
#

?

frigid stag
#

is a rip off compared to ebay/fb

heavy dew
#

well i have two 1080p monitors so lol

#

@rancid juniper look at this

ashen swan

tranquil pebble
worn night
heavy dew
#

but i dont need ray tracing that much

#

unless i need ray tracing to play WORLD OF TANKS

#

and phasmo and assetto corsa

#

i got assetto corsa i wanna try and play

rancid juniper
#

but hey its cheap sooooooooooo

worn night
#

it sounds like its not even broken

#

first thing to try is update bios and clean a bit

worn night
#

code 00 means bad cpu seating or just bad cpu

#

another one with code 00???

#

is this a common occurence with z790es perhaps

heavy dew
#

im stupid should i get like an rx 9000 card

#

my gpu budget would technically between 500 and 600 but lower is better

proud jackal
#

I cleared my cache for discord mobile now it looks weird

tranquil pebble

Intel Neko Arc

ashen swan

Neco-Arc rather

#

but its this:

#

Ohhh

#

should i toture myself to arc

#

so i can wait for celestial

heavy dew
#

LMAOO

heavy dew
ashen swan
#

idk bro

#

maybe 9070

heavy dew
#

i mean 75

ashen swan
#

but that has shitty Proce

heavy dew
#

the refresh rate is really not a problem considering that i dont play triple a games

ashen swan
#

get a 9060XT and a new Monitor insted

ashen swan
#

yay

heavy dew
#

the fact it has two hdmi ports and one DP is insane work

#

didnt even know cards were like that

dense locust
heavy dew
#

wait i gotta lock in rn

heavy dew
#

FRICK 1 HDMI

#

IF IT HAD 2 OF EACH THAT WOULD BE CLUTCH

ashen swan
#

SHUT UP

#

TAKE THE DAMN CARD

tranquil pebble
heavy dew
#

YOU TAKE IT

heavy dew
ashen swan
#

YOU DON'T NEED TWO HDMI/ DUAL MONITORS

heavy dew
#

on top of the fact that i need a new PSU

#

YES I DO

#

I HAVE TWO HDMI MONITORS

#

I PLAN ON KEEPING THEM UNTIL I UPGRADE OR THEY SHIT THE BED

#

ONE ALMOST SHIT THE BED BUT IT WASNT THE MONITOR IT WAS THE EXTERNAL POWER SUPLLY

dense locust
#

My gpu was 1400 but it only has 1 hdmi lol

worn wave
#

Yeah cause when you spend that much they expect you to be using displayport

heavy dew
dense locust
#

My monitor has both hdmi and display port

heavy dew
#

BUT

#

but but but theres a few nvidia cards that have two HDMI two DP

#

i wouldnt mind a card like that bc its future proofed essentially for me

worn wave
#

This sounds like cope to avoid buying the 9070xt

#

An HDMI/dp adapter is like $10

ashen swan
#

just buy oled

#

He- he's got a point....maybe I should get a 6090

heavy dew
#

maybe'

#

allegedly

royal crow
heavy dew
#

oh i forgot to tell yall THE OTHER PROBLEM

royal crow
#

6090 gonna be 10% net gain from 4090

heavy dew
#

so heres the other problem

#

idk how much GPU clearance i have for my case

#

i would maybe need a two fan card

#

like the biggest two fan card or the smallest 3 fan

#

airflow is definitely not an issue, my pc quite literally builds up in a year like dust as thick as a strand of hair

nocturne flicker
worn wave
#

Oh wait "as thick as a strand of hair"

royal crow
#

Fr

worn wave
#

Nvm lol

heavy dew
#

my airflow is literally goated, even though i have a messy ass room and i have NO FILTER on the front, and the intake fan is what cools the GPU and the gpu exhausts from its vents on the back, and then the exhaust fan is for my CPU

dusk knot
royal crow
#

5090 was like 5% raw perf gain

#

We're reaching the limits of Moores law, stuff almost cant get faster

dusk knot
#

so Framegen is the future and stacking

royal crow
#

What, uses a secondary gpu purely to generate frames while the first one processes the first frame?

tranquil pebble
ashen swan
#

Alr chat

#

7700 or 9600X

#

Same price

heavy dew
dusk knot
lone mango
#

You are way overpaying for that

#

Btw a 9060 xt is the same as a 7700 xt

#

While costing less

heavy dew
#

is there a gpu and psu bundle

heavy dew
lone mango
#

9060 xt does not use much power so you can probably keep your psu

#

Models are either 160 or 180w

heavy dew
#

but my PSU has 6 pin connectors

#

not 8 pins

lone mango
#

They were more common when high end cards were more expensive earlier this year

#

But now they are not

lone mango
#

I forgot that the 9060 xt has one hdmi port

heavy dew
#

this one has two LMAO

lone mango
#

Oh wow it does

heavy dew
#

also BROO ITS SO CHEAP ON NEWEGG

lone mango
#

Typically it is 2 dp 1 hdmi

heavy dew
#

DUDE ITS LIKE A 100 SUM DIFF

#

NOOO

#

THIS IS THE 8GB

#

i dont want no gyat damn 8 gb

lone mango
#

The amazon link you sent is 16

heavy dew
#

yes im looking at new egg

lone mango
#

Oh I see what you mean

#

Yeah the 8 gig is 290

#

That is because nobody is buying it

heavy dew

lone mango

Ideally it would be -50 and not -100

anyone have an actual working newegg account?

craggy shoal

I mean yeah lol a lot of Newegg users do

outer geyser
# craggy shoal I mean yeah lol a lot of Newegg users do

ok so i know this sounds weird, but would you be willing to buy something from the newegg website for me? its only $2 but ill send you the money for it, ill even go first, its just a steam key for something
ive been trying to make accounts but they keep closing them because my shipping and billing addresses arent the same (which i cant fix)

craggy shoal
#

I understand. But I'm a big cybersecurity snob (in short, I won't do it). Maybe someone else might?

#

What makes your address the problem?

outer geyser
#

newegg automatically blocks all accounts that have a different shipping and billing address

#

and support cant do anything about it

#

and the $2 thing im trying to buy is literally not available on any other website so im kinda desperate thats why im here lol

craggy shoal
#

Maybe instead contact Newegg support. Or wait for @crimson vine to come back online
(Sorry for the ping, Newegg)

outer geyser
craggy shoal
#

I'm not sure how to help then

outer geyser
#

basically i just need someone else with a working account from the usa or canada to buy it, like i said id even send the money first and overpay a little but yeah no problem if you dont want to i get it

velvet summit
#

it worked fine for me when i was ordering things with a diff billing address

#

wait

outer geyser
velvet summit
#

oh are you trying to buy something from a diff country

outer geyser
#

yeah but i mean its just a digital code so i dont get why they wont allow it
i even set my address to the usa but they just dont accept it no matter what i do

craggy shoal
#

That digital code might be region locked btw

outer geyser
#

but sadly newegg is the only place that has the item

outer geyser
#

i checked

craggy shoal
#

Maybe use a VPN?

outer geyser
#

tried that

craggy shoal
#

A DLC only being on Newegg is kinda weird lol

outer geyser

yeah it was delisted on steam newegg is the only place that has keys for it nowadays

Generative Ai is utterly useless

and then you have the stable diffusion stuff

aka degenerate ai

royal crow
#

Yeah

#

Ai image and video gen is the ultimate degeneracy loop

craggy shoal

What's crazy to me is that we're more invested in image and video generation, rather than finding cancer early

The FE is not cheaper right now due to the magic of a recent release

Also, I imagine it has the faster charging due to having a higher mAh capacity

Faster charging into a higher capacity battery in a device that ends up lasting about an hour less than the other

After copious amounts of time and money dumped into trying to fix the piece of junk car that my dad left me, my mother is FINALLY listening to what I have said for 3+ years, now that the mechanics themselves are saying to just sell the damn thing and cut your losses

It's so annoying that I inherited my dads horrible decision, and now a car that should have been beneficial to me is a never ending burden and money pit. The thing that sucks is that anybody with a working brain would never buy it from me

#

So anyways, how are you guys? 😭

pliant berry

yup sounds like my first car

I don't even know what the hell to do with it. Nobody will want to buy it. It's probably worth nothing but parts at this point

If we're talking average performance per compatible CPU for each socket, I agree. If the sockets themselves? Definitely this:

  • AM4: technically still getting new CPUs
  • LGA1700: the CPUs are good now. Plus having DDR4 and DDR5 options on the same socket is wildly nice
  • AM5: best CPUs overall, but getting expensive
  • LGA1851: not bad. Just mediocre CPU options. Platform might die with the next couple years, depending on what moves Intel makes with their CPUs

Hhmmm

median kelp
#

my 48GB ram kit (2x24 6400) I bought for $190 in 2023

#

is now $550

#

that's INSANE

#

like actually crazy

sinful blade
median kelp
#

that's not even economic inflation

#

that's open AI doing stupid stuff like trying to buy 40% of the worlds dram supply

sinful blade
#

Yeah that too

median kelp
#

has anyone grasped how INSANE

sinful blade
#

Probably doesn’t help

median kelp
#

40% of the worlds dram production

#

GOES TO SMARTPHONES

#

they want to use

#

the same amount as 5 years worth of smart phone production

#

on one project

#

that's like actually the most ridiculous thing I think I have ever seen in the tech space

elfin mural
#

phones are gonna get expensive cause of this

#

gee thank you ai greed

median kelp
#

not just that

elfin mural
#

ram

median kelp
#

nintendo even had to comment on it

elfin mural
#

or everything in general

#

will get expensive

median kelp
#

like everyone that makes tech

#

apparently rumor is nvidia isn't going to do the 50 series super launch anymore with the increased memory because the prices for ram are getting out of control

#

predicted to increase by 2.8x in just 1 year for cost

#

that's

#

INSANE

#

we already have seen about 100% increase

#

in just 2 months

#

for ddr5

elfin mural
#

to add insult to the injury

#

openai is seeking to loan 1 trillion dollars

#

in order to expand its ai bs

median kelp
#

they already have the 500 billion they need for stargate

#

that project that's going to use 40% of the worlds dram production for 5 years

#

what else do they need??

elfin mural
#

apparently they need that trillion

median kelp
#

but stargate is already going to need 3 nuclear reactor plants with 1 on standby

elfin mural
#

no care

#

money go brr

median kelp
#

what could you possibly be building that needs more than 4 nuclear power plants

#

I can't even fathom anything bigger than the stargate project being possible??

elfin mural
#

and also i doubt openai will be able to pay all that debt back

median kelp
#

like

elfin mural
#

1.5$tn debt

#

imagine that

median kelp
#

it's already going to use

#

3x the power of NYC metro area

#

for 1 data center

#

and they need

#

more money for more projects

elfin mural
#

there will be a power crisis

#

at this rate

median kelp
#

Well to be fair

#

open ai said they're going to build their own nuclear power plants for stargate

#

which is

#

INSANE BEHAVIOR

#

imagine having to build 4 nuclear power plants

#

for an AI data center

#

the size of a CITY

#

if we require all AI companies to start making their own power infrastructure I feel like it won't be much of an issue power wise

#

they clearly got the money being thrown around

elfin mural
#

fair enough

median kelp
#

to be fair this might be what we need to get into clean energy LMAO

elfin mural
#

it's bubble money at that

#

gen-ai is built on broken promises

median kelp
#

If this is what pushes us to nuclear power over gas and coal

#

that's great

#

because if they build these power plants

#

and then the AI bubble implodes

#

that power gonna go somewhere

elfin mural
#

imagine they go bust and we get to use the nuclear power plants

median kelp
#

AYO wuh gif are you trying to send

elfin mural
#

that's actually a good outcome

median kelp
#

yep

#

and because once built

#

nuclear plants cost much less to operate

#

they will opt to shut down

#

the gas and coal ones

#

the main issue with nuclear is that startup cost and the technical knowledge of the staff

elfin mural
#

im worried about nuclear waste handling though

#

that can be an issue

median kelp
#

to be fair, if we actually build a nation wide facility for it won't be much of an issue

#

it's very cheap to dispose of safely

#

we just need a coherent facility underground

elfin mural
#

i doubt that would happen easily

median kelp
#

we just don't have a nationalized disposal like france does for example

elfin mural
#

but at the end, coal is definitely more harmful

#

at least with an immediate effect

I think the fear of nuclear power is a problem

median kelp
#

They want to build a $500,000,000,000 data center

#

The size of a city

rancid juniper
#

This bubble gotta burst

median kelp
#

And it's going to use up to 15 gigawatts of power

#

When they fully expand it

#

Initial estimates put it at 5-10 gigawatts to get it started which is about 3-4 nuclear power plants

rancid juniper
#

Instead of using this money for better means they just want to add more slop to the mix

royal crow
#

What the heck could they possibly need it for

median kelp
#

It's going to pull 3x more power than the entire nyc metro area

royal crow
#

This is the dumbest idea I've seen since gen ai itself

median kelp
#

The type that teaches itself

royal crow
#

Guh

median kelp
#

Basically sentient AI ya know

#

The thing we wrote movies on

royal crow
#

Just use one of the thousand they have

rancid juniper
#

I like how with all the novels and movies warning us how horrid ai can be in the future these tech bros completely disregard that

tranquil pebble
#

Well, the US and Russia were developing doomsday weapons so not much surprises me at this point.

rancid juniper
#

Ah you're right, I keep forgetting that we can be wiped out anytime

#

I tend to forget it to not live in constant fear 24/7

tranquil pebble
#

I mean a singular nuke in the form of an entire large building that could cause a severe enough nuclear winter to wipe out life on earth

Turns out gaming performance is limited by the mind

everyone wants a slice

its all about that K/D

dusk knot
#

you already see 2 DPS, you were to slow...ok....choose either a tank or healer, not 3 more DPS

#

my K/D is dropping

#

no support

rancid juniper
#

All i can say is no game is perfect it was bound to happen, hopefully their might be an update to mitigate issues like this in the future

dusk knot
#

i hope so

#

OW2 did it better as much as I'm soo over with it

rancid juniper
#

atleast it got some gamemodes, needs more tho

dusk knot
#

Yeah

#

As much as I love a new skin being released every once in a while, quality of life should be focused on now

#

Have a mode where only 1 tank, 3 dps, and 2 healers are applicable

#

there needs to be a skill system of some sort

#

just being a Lord doesnt make you good

#

soo many things need attention. this is my fav game btw

I have just encountered my first personal experience with an imbalanced system

Did I tell yall abt what I'm 3d printing this week yet

nocturne flicker
#

Realistically they are all scams designed to hoover as much money up on projects that are guaranteed to never go anywhere so they can mysteriously lose some of it by the time the project is cancelled

ashen swan
#

I’m gonna say it rn

#

There’s gonna be a gpu shortage q2 2026

sinful blade
#

There was already a gpu shortage this year lmao

misty sparrow
#

Oh, with the prices going up? I thought we recovered

nocturne flicker
#

There is already shrink in the supply of ram, ssds and certain harddrives have gotten suspiciously timed price hikes, yet another gpu shortage is guaranteed

ashen swan
#

This one’s gonna be worse

Nvidia needs to pay good little AI companies to hoover up all of the silicon for them

misty sparrow

They are NOT selling

#

At all

#

We also only have lavender and white????

tranquil pebble
sinful blade
misty sparrow
sinful blade
#

But yeah @misty sparrow we have 0 pro maxes, 2 pros, and 2 normal 17s

sinful blade
misty sparrow
#

Nobody is buying it because it sits in that middle ground of 17 Pro and 17 I'm guessing

misty sparrow
#

It's only doing well in China iirc

sinful blade
#

Look at the comparisons

frigid stag
#

??

#

its the best design they had since the 6

sinful blade
#

I’m hard disagreeing

frigid stag
#

only thing is it reminds people of google phones

#

which is obviously cringe

sinful blade
#

Oh we have like 20 pixels lmao

#

No one has bought one in 3 months at my store

worn wave
frigid stag
#

^

misty sparrow
#

obviously they're gonna be a step up

tranquil pebble
#

once the ai bubble finally pops though there is going to be so much server parts on the used market it will be nuts

misty sparrow
#

calling it the best design since 6 is crazy

frigid stag
#

but even then eh

#

every phone was the same 6-8 plus- se 22

#

then 12-16pm

nocturne flicker
#

I honestly don't care about a thin phone. The thinner the phone the easier it seems to drop it derpyBlob

sinful blade
#

The pro’s are the best in every iPhone lineup

frigid stag
#

is it even rounded edges i cant tell

sinful blade
#

Hard pass on anything else

misty sparrow
#

iPhone 6 had that bend problem where it was so thin to the point where you could literally bend it

worn wave
#

bendgate 💀

frigid stag
#

main point of the pros was 120hz they all have it now

sinful blade
sinful blade
frigid stag
#

they look kinda ugly with that huge slab

misty sparrow
worn wave
frigid stag
#

because its 1 and not 2

sinful blade
#

How you gonna charge $300 more for THAT

#

The air is $1000
The 17 is $740 at my store

misty sparrow
#

With tradein it's probably cheaper

#

Wait, $1000? That's close to 17 Pro base price

#

$1100

frigid stag
#

phone cameras plateud like 9years ago

sinful blade
#

So you’re actively getting a terrible phone

worn wave
#

air is meant to be a flashy thing for people who like showing off

frigid stag
#

bunch of stitched together images that look nothing like intended

sinful blade
worn wave
frigid stag
#

they arent it looks fine apart from the google design

worn wave
#

(I don't think it looks great either, but I'm guessing there are some people going for a certain look who like it)

sinful blade
#

It looks like shit

frigid stag
#

important question is, is it round edges yes or no

#

cuz no one says that

sinful blade
#

Wym

worn wave
worn wave
#

you can see it in the pic

It's selling well in China because their market likes thinness I think

Had a dude come in the other day to trade in his iPhone 6 for a 17 pro max

Dude went from 0-100

frigid stag
#

its hard to tell from the pics so

#

looks kinda flat

worn wave
#

excuse my mouse drawing but

misty sparrow
#

what do you mean 0-100 though

frigid stag
#

i dont mean that i mean if the sides are rounded

#

gg

worn wave
#

the sides are the same as the top

sinful blade
#

Going from a 6 to a 17 is like going from a Honda civic to a McLaren
The comparisons were just bonkers

worn wave
#

otherwise the corners would have a wacky transition

frigid stag
#

the 12 has flat sides like an iphone 4 but bigger the 6-8 dont

#

but yeah looks flat

worn wave
#

the 17 is in-between those. It has rounded edges but not fully rounded like 6-11

#

also either that pic is incorrect or phonearena is incorrect...

frigid stag
#

yeah no i looked up close its flat sides just thinner

worn wave
frigid stag
#

i doubt it id have to try one though

icy ore
worn wave
#

the base 17 and 17 pro also are a bit more curved than the 16 iirc

#

oh wait maybe 16 has the slightly curved edges as well. idk when they swapped

frigid stag
#

probably switching to android cuz rather not have pixel clone + liquid glass os
