lunar quiver

#

Crazy

lunar quiver
opaque sedge
# lunar quiver Why?

Amd tryna take advantage of the price hikes of other components by increasing the price of their cpus cuz their gpus aint gonna sell much, and nvidia is runored to send their boards to partners without vram chips installed so the partners will be the ones responsible to source the ram, and this aint gonna cause the prices to decrease

#

Cuz ram is in ducking everything

#

Plus the 50super series have allegedly been delayed and might be cancelled

#

Also even in stable market conditions cpu and gpu price drops are rare

soo good!

opaque sedge
#

Why they gotta make em humanoid?

#

Like wouldn’t going for other designs make it easier when it comes to traversal ability for these robots?

#

Like they could stick to wheels

dusk knot
#

also these robots live in a world made for humans, so they have to be in the same shape as well.

misty sparrow
#

and when in they're in the same shape as humans in the next few years...

Also remember, companies don't want to be making a new model for every single thing. The more tasks a single design can do, the cheaper they can get it. Humanoid models are better for general purpose use

The year is 2033.

A robot notices you sitting at a local street corner. Whatever glimmer of hope you once had has faded from your eyes. You stare aimlessly at the ground, bread crumbs caught in your unkempt beard.

The tall humanoid synth walks up to you.
“Oh… hello there. I was just walking to my job and saw you over here. You look like you need help getting to a homeless shelter. Need help? Wait… you look quite familiar, sir.”

With the tiny bit of mental clarity and self-worth you have left, you look up—and you recognize it. It’s the same model of robot that took your job years ago.

You give it the most apathetic look you’ve ever given anyone, the look of a broken man. You can’t believe that the very thing that ended your dreams now has the decency to offer you assistance.

You ignore it, break eye contact, and slowly curl back into the fetal position you’ve been holding for the past few hours.

The world is indeed cruel and heartless.

The end.

then i suppose you might want to get a replacement to get the correct thing

Right

spiral grail

Cuz I opened the laptop including box and stuff

elfin mural

they would regardless, provided you give them good enough pictures

and give them your order info

spiral grail
#

And I was checking the serial # too

#

Gotta make sure is not counterfeit ykyk

dense locust
# spiral grail But for expensive laptops nah

people buying amazon resell products sometimes get the wrong item, because people swap out the item and return it, then amazon doesnt check if they returned the correct item and resells it

spiral grail
elfin mural
#

that would depend on what they tell you

elfin mural
#

typically though they'd just tell you to return the wrong item

#

and they will ship the correct item

spiral grail
#

I guess…

elfin mural

there likely won't be any charges

as it was their mistake

If there is charges that is illegal

Nobody in the history of ever was proud of their A10-7850K

nocturne flicker

Now you make me want to get one and be proud

olive plaza
#

7850K was relevant.

#

You could buy one in 2014-2015, use the integrated graphics until you could afford a 750Ti for example

#

And it didn't completely suck. But it wasn't Good™

#

Funny thing about AMD APUs

#

AMD was betting the bank, that software devs would start utilizing the integrated graphics core to speed up general computing tasks. Sort of like a co-processor from the 386-486 days. Linus even touched on that in one of his old videos. Guess what never happened

What would that accomplish that you couldn't do with a Phenom II X6

Out of pure curiosity

Considering FX topped out at 4 "very hyperthreaded" cores

nocturne flicker

I imagine since they were making AM3+ boards later, some features that older AM3 boards don't have compared with 990FX

Yall I got another quesiton. Considering the 5070 TI 16GBs I been looking at are 730 and 750 USD, if I found a MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB used for 649.99 USD, is that a better deal pepehmmm

olive plaza
#

You have to use like a Clover USB drive or something

#

And even then, yes, gen2

#

Not actually that much faster than SATA in practice

#

One lane is 500MB/sec. So if your NVMe slot is wired up for two lanes, theoretical 1GB/sec max under ideal conditions lol

#

And SATA SSDs max at 550MB/s

yall, say I found an MSI 4070 ti 16gb dual fan for 649.99 USD, is that better price to performance than the Gigabyte 5070 ti 16gb 3 fan for 729.99-749.99 USD pepehmmm

#

both overpriced

#

lol

torn trout
#

Oh so thats not a good price for used either then for the 4070 cuz....yeah it used lol

icy ore
#

Oh yeah absolutely not

torn trout
#

Oh yeah Super

#

I have been twisting my neck over if I should go for the 5060 ti 16 gb or the 5070 ti 16 gb and bite the bullet for the extra 350 USD for longer term use weggSad

but then I thought of the used market and found that

what about it

#

you act like AMD encoders are bad on the 9000 series

torn trout
#

Even with the comparison of the two, NVIDIA still has the edge. If we were one generation in the future, I might say sure, but with what we have now, I'm skeptikal

acoustic palm

Nothing worth the extra money or downsides of nvidia

Plus Twitch doesnt support AV1 yet and that's what everyone says to use for AMD as of now

How i feel about ram prices rn

tranquil pebble
#

The Great RAM Depression

cursive oasis
#

Pretend the factory is either the AI or ram companies

pliant berry
#

Bruh like no one uses av1 yet. Imo as it stands it’s only useful for archive purposes

#

H264 is still industry standard for any kind of content delivery

worn wave
#

YouTube has it

velvet summit
#

av1 isnt really that widely used yet since majority of devices in service don't support it, though that doesnt mean that twitch shouldnt have supported yet either

#

but they probably wont since that would likely increase costs

#

and twitch is already a bit of a money sink for amazon afaik

#

though youtube is also a money sink for google

#

twitch is more likely to go under before youtube though

worn wave
pliant berry
#

There is the cost in licensing vs the cost of new processors

velvet summit
#

twitch also does transcoding

#

e.g. if you're streaming via av1, they also need to transcode it to a format that the devices that don't support or are not powerful enough to software decode av1 would also be able to watch the streams

#

even currently, not all streams are transcoded to lower res

#

if you watch smaller streamers, you wont have an option to watch in like 720p if the streamer is streaming in 1080p

#

only partners would have it

tranquil pebble
pliant berry
#

Yeah it’s not so simple to implement when you run at the kind of scale they do

velvet summit
tranquil pebble
#

I mean the person watching the stream

worn night
pliant berry
#

No

velvet summit
#

some devices are not powerful enough for software decoding

#

it's slower and less efficent

pliant berry
#

Even moderately modern hardware that does not support av1 can non decode it in realtime

#

I learned that the hard way watching a vid at 3fps

velvet summit

#

guessing this means I am streaming av1

Can I wear a dunce cap for a moment? I was going through my settings trying to squeeze out some performance on my PC. Turns out I had set the memory clocks to auto instead of XMP and turns out I was getting 4000MT/s instead of 4800MT/s. Go me.

This was a high end GPU around 2006

grand adder
#

I had a 9200 for my first build, then bought an upgrade a few years later when I could.

olive plaza
#

No 9200's on hand, closest I have is 9250

#

9200 was a weird one with only being DX8 despite numerically being part of the 9000 series

grand adder
#

And at the time I wasn't exactly build savvy. Machine 4 (which I'm using now) is the once I mentioned about the dunce cap.

olive plaza
#

Not the worst

In 2005 I went to build a Pentium 4 computer for a friend of mine and:

  • ordered a motherboard for DDR2 but ordered DDR memory
  • badly damaged the plastic heatsink snaps and had to buy a new heatsink

wow thats some bad ram

olive plaza
#

You guys do realize that for 12th gen, 4800 is the fastest officially supported speed on DDR5 with 2 sticks

#

anything over that is not guaranteed

acoustic palm
#

yeah uh

olive plaza
#

12th is first gen DDR5 controller

acoustic palm
#

official is always far lower than anything thats decent

olive plaza
#

is it?

acoustic palm
#

yes?

olive plaza
#

Core Ultra does 6400 officially

acoustic palm
#

7600 rated is 5200...

#

it can EASILY do 6000...

olive plaza
#

Yes most of them can

#

the fun part comes when you try running 4 sticks

acoustic palm
#

if the i9 is rated slightly worse than a 7600 for ram speeds

#

and since its an i9 and not low end, i bet it can do MUCH higher speeds and cl than that crap ram

olive plaza
#

12th gen is officially rated:
3600 with 4 sticks
4800 with 2 sticks

acoustic palm
#

officially rated barely means anything

olive plaza
#

it's just the maximum that's guaranteed to work

Man where the heck is lordfoog

and I've run into this

acoustic palm

everyone can be wrong at times

worn night
#

i dont know who to root for

olive plaza
#

it's rare to come across a CPU that literally only does the rated speed for RAM, but it does happen

worn night
#

theres no way both of yall are wrong about the same thing and debating it so someones right unless yall both wrong which cant happen

#

im confusing myself now

#

ITS A PARADOX

acoustic palm
#

12900k can run 6000 cl30 on a simple 2x16 kit easy

olive plaza
#

Also, the rated speed exists because: if a chip can't hit the rated speed, it's considered defective

acoustic palm
#

4x32 will be lower, but not ewaste levles of low

aka 4800 cl40

If Quok can provide proof of a 12900K he owns

that actively runs four 32GB sticks of DDR5 at 4800

If Quok cannot provide this proof by the end of the year, then Quok owes me $5.00

This is more of an exercise in demonstrating that you don't just agree to things without any intention to stand behind what you say

what's desmos

acoustic palm

makes getting a 700 on the math section free

rancid juniper
#

Desmos is that one math website

acoustic palm
#

its a graphing calculator that can do like 75% of the math for you

olive plaza
#

that's crazy

acoustic palm
#

BUT math questions are harder and built around it

olive plaza
#

So what you're saying is, people started using desmos, so they reformulated the questions to be harder, so people who don't use desmos are screwed

acoustic palm
#

yeah

olive plaza
#

seems bad

rancid juniper
#

I think one of the reasons why math is generally difficult is the steps it takes to get the solution, like you'll remember steps 1-3 but not 4-8
