The reds on this monitor and my other one are super deep compared to blues and greens, not sure if the phone picks this up though

Is it just easier for panels to have deep reds

Damn even the phone picks it up

Red stuff pops out so much compared to everything else

[proud jackal]

Looks normal to me

[lone mango]

What bout it

[elfin mural]

msrp + $200 with these dram prices

xd

[acoustic palm]

Mmmm

Sat time

[ashen swan]

still better value XD

[elfin mural]

i'd rather not still

that gives intel an excuse to also abuse the market

[proud jackal]

is there any good basic video editing software to stitch together footage?

[craggy shoal]

DaVinci. It's not that hard to learn

Or CapCut

[proud jackal]

@proud smelt friend said there are already people lined up before she even got there

apparently first two people in line have been there since before midnight

[velvet summit]

I slept for 40 hours last night

[velvet summit]

You have apple devices
You got iMovie

I don't like capcut due to watermark

Best 2 free options would be DaVinci resolve or iMovie

[proud jackal]

only windows

[velvet summit]

Oh

Then DaVinci resolve

[lone mango]

[torn trout]

For those in the used market, whats the best place to get used GPUs

[proud jackal]

[lone mango]

Dr 20

Drs is paid

[torn trout]

I remember getting a free version of that

[velvet summit]

because the regular one is free, it's just studio that is paid

studio just adds a few extra features

mainly ai stuff

[ashen swan]

can you install bottom fans if you have pcie riser

?

[proud jackal]

@proud smelt friend is telling me nerds are arguing in line because people are saving spots in line but the people aren't physically there

[sinful blade]

@proud jackal save me a cpu

[worn night]

[proud jackal]

@sinful blade I'm not there

[ashen swan]

@proud jackal give a cpu and answer this

That was not that bad

[ashen swan]

btw i know i'm being annoying but can i instal case fans if i have a riser cable

[acoustic palm]

Uh

Why wouldn’t you be able to

[ashen swan]

doesn't the Riser take up all of the space in the bottom ?

https://www.antec.com/documents/product/accessory/accessory-Antec_Vertical-Bracket_PCIE5_flyer-OL_250624.pdf

[proud jackal]

Its a pro b70 not b770

[elfin mural]

cough recording/streaming stutter when gpu is fully loaded

[rancid juniper]

stop please bro it has to be the b770

😔

[acoustic palm]

They made a non pro version but it won’t ship

[rancid juniper]

bru

[acoustic palm]

Yeah…

[tranquil pebble]

imagine if we get to a point where all consumer parts are just discontinued

[nocturne flicker]

Mmmmmmmmm

[dusk knot]

How good is it???

[nocturne flicker]

I'm not that tired actually, I slept a good amount

Ask again in a couple hours

[rancid juniper]

It was speculated to be around 4070 levels of performance

[tranquil pebble]

probably with some strings attached to that because drivers

[rancid juniper]

lol

[tranquil pebble]

I just want to see someone competing with Nvidia 90 class

[dusk knot]

Honestly, that's a big jump from the first generation.. they've been making large leaps ever since.

[rancid juniper]

I feel like it would've been possible with RDNA4 but that was against their business strategy

[dusk knot]

They're catching up

[tranquil pebble]

business strategy of shooting themselves in the foot?

[rancid juniper]

Absolutely that's why I was impressed with Intel's GPU sector, heck even their upscaling technologies are better than FSR3

[dusk knot]

NgreedAi will know fear

[rancid juniper]

Intel's RT i believe is faster too

[dusk knot]

Impossible

[rancid juniper]

Yes, the AMD way

Doing ANYTHING but winning

[rancid juniper]

well well well https://youtu.be/lLe5AP6igjw?si=5-cv5y6Uy5vKhvtW

right on time too

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[proud jackal]

@grand wasp my friend said you took a picture of them

[rancid juniper]

see what i told you, tbh RTX 5050 is a low bar @dusk knot

[dusk knot]

Damn.. impressive

Who sees NgreedAi leaving the gaming sector in the future?

[rancid juniper]

its scary how fast intel is catching up, and this is just second gen

[rancid juniper]

its already happening

[dusk knot]

Disgusting

The endless pursuit for more money

[rancid juniper]

destroying the entire consumer pc space as well

[dusk knot]

I watched a whole video on how banks and the whole financial system in general protects and favors those with money while the average Joe is seen almost as worthless. We have the short end of the stick by design.

[rancid juniper]

this is just horrid, reality is way scarier than fiction

[dusk knot]

It's diabolical

I mean I've always known about how unfair it is, it's just when you go deep into it, it should be destroyed

In other news......

[bronze kettle]

Rtx

5050 is so bad

[rancid juniper]

this is true

[icy ore]

Terrible

[bronze kettle]

If your buying 5000 series the minimum should be 5070+

if you want a solid performance

[proud jackal]

5070 ti

[sinful blade]

Uzo spitting facts

[nocturne flicker]

If you are buying 5000 series the minimum should be don't. Use the money on something more important or save

Or atleast just buy something used of an older gen

[bronze kettle]

AMD Radeon RX 9070

What do you guys think?

[acoustic palm]

Good value but could be better

[bronze kettle]

What do you think is the overall best performance gpu

[acoustic palm]

Compared to what

[bronze kettle]

To any just overall

[acoustic palm]

Like

Best gpu? Best value gpu? Best budget gpu? Best high end gpu?

[sinful blade]

9060XT 16GB is pretty hard to beat

[rancid juniper]

@bronze kettle tbh its down to how much you're paying for it and the games/resolution you're targeting

[sinful blade]

B580 is also fantastic option for its price point

[acoustic palm]

Eh

It’s nice fs

But rn it’s too high

I’d say a 5070 for ~475> or a 9070 for ~530>

[sinful blade]

9060xt for like $350 though

[acoustic palm]

It’s 370 rn…

[sinful blade]

[acoustic palm]

When 9060xt 8gb was like

Sub 270 it was a really really good deal

[nocturne flicker]

Get a used 6900xt or 6950xt for that price

[acoustic palm]

Where is that for that little

[nocturne flicker]

Ebay

[acoustic palm]

Oh they are

Huh

[sinful blade]

Quick someone trade me

[acoustic palm]

If you don’t care abt rt then yeah go ahead

But it’s only like a 20-23% diff

[sinful blade]

Had this argument few days ago

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

💯

[acoustic palm]

9060xt 16gb/9070, high end a used xtx

[royal grotto]

I've heard good things bout this server

Please don't be like the AMD server

[rancid juniper]

Don't think this one can tbh

[royal grotto]

AMD server is like the CCP lmao

oh shit, theres a car channel

time to flex I guess

[rancid juniper]

LOTR fans unlucky

[royal grotto]

Cant even post images

lame

[rancid juniper]

you gotta hit regular status, tho it shouldn't take long to reach it

[royal grotto]

I got my 2x48 6400 CL32 kit for 220 USD lmao

Its now over 1500 bucks

Actually

[rancid juniper]

Ram as they say is the new bitcoin

[royal grotto]

I think it costs more then my 4x32 5600 ECC ddr5 kit

I got that for 1750

[pseudo patrol]

I got my 2x48 6600 CL32 for 373 last year which is now 1.4k lol

[royal grotto]

Hynix A die

[royal grotto]

I underclocked my ram to 6000 CL28 cause 9950X3D + 2x48 6400 doesnt pair to well in games.

[pseudo patrol]

thats smart

we got endgame pc parts tho so we chillin

imagine new builders nowadays

[rancid juniper]

i feel bad for them ngl

Prebuilts seem to be the way now

But for how long

[pseudo patrol]

sooner or later they'll start increasing prices as inflation flows

[misty sparrow]

could you theoretically take the ram sticks from motherboard bundles and sell them to recoup profit

[pseudo patrol]

a certain GPU or CPU used to be the main selling point for prebuilds, now imagine if they incorporate a certain amount of ram size

[rancid juniper]

that is likely

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry, the UAE will save us by being the sole funders for a Hogwarts Legacy clone for LotR made by a studio I can't find any information on

[rancid juniper]

nightmare fuel

can EA sell their IPs?

🗿

same with Ubisoft

[nocturne flicker]

Yes.

They just have to choose to do so and have someone willing to buy them for the price they want

Skytech Shadow Gaming PC Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700 AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD 32GB DDR5 RAM Windows 11

Is this worth 1,100?

[royal grotto]

yes

cause thats the cheapest your getting a pc with 32gb of ddr5 rn

[acoustic palm]

Ooooog

[worn wave]

with the state of the ram market yeah I think that's pretty good

[bronze kettle]

I just seen this deal I’ve gotten a pc already

[royal grotto]

1260 acres to 2580

[bronze kettle]

This is 1300$

Out of the 2 options what would u guys go for?

[worn wave]

The cheaper one

Unless the ram on the cheaper one is terrible

[royal grotto]

taking down the fence in the parts I'm expending is gonna cost 822 grand alone. Rebuilding the fence will cost another 6.2 million, and the land itself is 7.8.

Also last month we finished our driveway

Literally the day after we finished it snowed about 8 feet in one night.

[worn wave]

6.2 million dollar fence?

[bronze kettle]

Includes 32GB of DDR5
5200MHz RGB RAM,

[worn wave]

Is this USD?

[royal grotto]

10 feet of 1/4 inch solid steel

10 feet tall that is

[worn wave]

Uh

Why?

[royal grotto]

Poachers

I live in the most poached state.

Can'

[worn wave]

5200mhz isn't ideal. You might be able to OC it though

The 6000mhz on the other build is better but probably not worth $200 more

[acoustic palm]

That’s a couple

[acoustic palm]

That’s a bit of money

[bronze kettle]

I think this is a better deal

Just slightly 200$ more

Skytech Gaming Azure 3 Gaming PC, AMD Ryzen 7 7700 3.8GHz, AMD RX 9060XT 16GB, 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD, 32GB DDR5 RAM 6000, 650W GOLD PSU, Wi-Fi, Win 11, Desktop

[rancid juniper]

For how much

[bronze kettle]

1300$

[rancid juniper]

That's pricey for a rig like that

🤔

[bronze kettle]

ig how pricey are we talking about

What does that have to do with anything lol

[rancid juniper]

It could definitely be bought for less than $1k, but I guess maybe the ram stuff have caught on

@elfin mural @grand kernel check this out

[elfin mural]

goodbye

[rancid juniper]

Thanks foxy

[bronze kettle]

Ye prices going crazy I was either thinking of spending a lil bit more and buy the 5070 ti

[rancid juniper]

you going for prebuilts or individual upgrades?

[bronze kettle]

Prebuilts ,

[rancid juniper]

i see

[bronze kettle]

I don’t know if that’s a smart idea because you can just buy them individually

but it’s just a whole hassle

[royal grotto]

got timed out

[rancid juniper]

quick question, you got a microcenter near you?

[royal grotto]

Anyway as soon as I get regular, I'm posting a crap load of cars and guns.

[rancid juniper]

Don't spam or something XD

[royal grotto]

It was for a swear word

[rancid juniper]

gotta look at dem rules here

its alot more enforced

[bronze kettle]

Nope

that’s the thing

[rancid juniper]

😔

There should be atleast one microcenter for every state bruh

[bronze kettle]

The nearest one to me is around 140 miles

[royal grotto]

Better then AMD. They would ban/kick/mute you for literally anything they wanted. And only enforced rules on who they wanted to.

[rancid juniper]

[royal grotto]

How long does regular take?

[bronze kettle]

yess it’s just a whole hassle finding the right ideal pc =value

[rancid juniper]

could be worse

looks at LTT server and nvidia

regular doesn't take long but do not spam

[royal grotto]

Unironically the Nvidia servers are better then AMD right now

AMD is an actually official server, sill in shambles

What monitor do you guys have?

[royal grotto]

Even my 2 4k monitors are 27"

[bronze kettle]

That bad?

[thick rapids]

Kinda new to all of this and have no clue what monitor to get along with my pc.

and 2 of these
MSI MPG 274URDFW E16M 27.0" 3840 x 2160 160 Hz mini-led IPS

[rancid juniper]

wait this isn't TOO bad

[royal grotto]

actually not bad at all

[rancid juniper]

imma link it for @bronze kettle https://www.ebay.com/itm/376756710309?

[thick rapids]

Im just waiting for all the parts to deliver to start building but I haven't brought a monitor yet.

[royal grotto]

Does it have 2.5" bays?

[bronze kettle]

It’s refurbished should I be careful on anything?

[rancid juniper]

Doubt it since it comes with a 2 year warranty

[rancid juniper]

Dunno about the HP Omen cases and what they bring but i'd hope so

[heady plinth]

You don't really need to screw down a sata ssd anyway.

[rancid juniper]

^

[heady plinth]

Looks like they even use a real atx psu and 24 pin mobo.

[royal grotto]

I'm aware.
But my case only had 3 2.5" bays and no 3.5" bays, 3d printed another 2.5" bay

I love hoarding storage.

But of the SSD kind, be it nvme or sata

Like my workstation has 6 4tb 9100 pros

[heady plinth]

If that's the right motherboard I'm only seeing 2 sata ports.

[royal grotto]

2 sata on a mobo

literal ewaste fr

[heady plinth]

I haven't used any on my last two pcs.

[royal grotto]

I have 4 2tb ones in my current pc

as well as 2 990 evo plus's and a 9100 pro

X870E ProArt go brr

Only lost lanes to my 2nd x16 slot, from 5.0 x16 to 5.0 x8

[heady plinth]

I have a 2tb sn850x and another one I got on sale that's still sitting in its box probably 2 years later.

[royal grotto]

Ill take it

[nocturne flicker]

What is the LTT server like

[royal grotto]

Can never have too much storage.

[heady plinth]

I think you might have read that wrong. A secondary slot was never going to be x16.

[nocturne flicker]

Do I want to know?

[rancid juniper]

Mid, full of entitled people, and F tier memes

[nocturne flicker]

Sad

[rancid juniper]

But it's been years so I have no idea what it's like now

[royal grotto]

Both are 5.0 x16. infact, you can run both at 5.0 x16 if you dont use any nvmes.

[heady plinth]

100% you can't. The cpus don't have the lanes.

It's eitehr top x16 or both at x8

[royal grotto]

the 3rd x16 slot is wired 4.0 x4

[royal grotto]

Both are WIRED at x16

never said they both could be used

well

I did

Sure you cant use both at x16, but its still x16 untill you add 2 nvmes and 4 satas

Or if you add another gpu in there

if the cpu's had the lanes, the mobo supports running both at x16.

[wraith fern]

i thought a package came for me from tforce

its just tforce shipping 💔

[royal grotto]

oh yayt

I can post

[royal grotto]

Truck has thermals too

let my buddy shoot my full auto P90

[fervent wagon]

holy heck, an R5 CPU with the 3D cache? sign me up

that's a pure gaming CPU is what that is

[wraith fern]

considering ram in there is probably 1000 now its a steal

😂 😂

for the price that seems solid especially with rising prices

[nocturne flicker]

I guess we are going back to buying prebuilts to yoink the parts. Except it is ram instead of gpus

[rancid juniper]

Actually wild to think about, taking ram out of prebuilts for some profit

[royal grotto]

These go for 2k each

[nocturne flicker]

Truly the darkest timeline

[fervent wagon]

yeah asrock has actually begun selling boards with DDR5/DDR4 (4 and 2 respectively) to allow people to migrate more smoothly (they only support LGA 1700)

[fervent wagon]

seems silly to make a product like that but there used to be boards with DDR3/DDR4

[fervent wagon]

and then before that DDR2/DDR3

[wraith fern]

yo thats a W

might look into that

wait i just started looking into that as if i could afford ANY ddr5 right now 😂

[royal grotto]

Thats enough gun posting

for now

I lied. 1980 once fired mint condition hk93a2.

[fervent wagon]

like, i have DDR4 32GB righyt now

i could grab a 14th gen i5 K-series

[royal grotto]

so

[fervent wagon]

motherboard

[royal grotto]

a 14600k

thers only one 14th gen i5 k series

[fervent wagon]

then later set aside money for DDR5

[royal grotto]

lmao

[wraith fern]

i wouldnt

that would be such a pointless upgrade

id move to am5 and just suck up letting parts sit

or save money

[nocturne flicker]

Who knew there'd come a time where both DDR4 and 5 compat. would become necessary

[fervent wagon]

i have an 11400, LGA 1700 is an upgrade

[royal grotto]

Not at all lmao,

14600K is a HUGE upgrade over an 11400.

[wraith fern]

sure but not worth the price

[fervent wagon]

not like my 11400 isn't a great CPU already

[royal grotto]

DO you have

any idiea

[fervent wagon]

but i'd like an actual new architecture

[royal grotto]

how much a 14600K costs

they are DIRT cheap

[rancid juniper]

we need more boards that have hybrid ddr4/5 slots

[fervent wagon]

14600K are well priced yeahj

[wraith fern]

closest near me is only 40 bucks less than a 7800x3d

[fervent wagon]

and it's a fast CPU

[royal grotto]

Ok

[fervent wagon]

i mean, ebay exists

[royal grotto]

but DDR5 vs DDR4

prices

[fervent wagon]

people are selling them used for a cut

LGA 1700 supports DDR4 and the new board from asrock supports either DDR4 or DDR5

[wraith fern]

bro wants 0 warrantly

[fervent wagon]

i'm not your bro

[wraith fern]

are you mad?

[wraith fern]

ddr4 has been spiking too

[nocturne flicker]

Going forward we'll need cpus with DDR4/5/6 compatibility

[fervent wagon]

no, i'm not mad. but you're still annoying.

[wraith fern]

over one comment?

seems like youre mad, but who am i to judge.

[rancid juniper]

ngl the board is gonna be massive XD

like its just ATX only

[wraith fern]

what are you using right now?

[rancid juniper]

MSI Pro Z690-A DDR4

[wraith fern]

what size are you running?

[fervent wagon]

ATX is fine unless you're the sort of peprson like me who gets mATX cases

[rancid juniper]

ATX

[wraith fern]

bruh

[royal grotto]

Not nearly as much as DDR5. Your argument is pointless.

[rancid juniper]

i used to run micro-atx pc

[wraith fern]

im not making an argument here, no need to get upset. just adding on to your comments

[royal grotto]

11400 to 14600K on DDR4 is much more viable then 11400 to 7800X3D

[wraith fern]

if you go piece by piece

ive never done that for my upgrades, only kept gpus usually

so i cant speak to that

[rancid juniper]

wild that with an x3d chip, fast ram isn't really needed

[wraith fern]

its funny isnt it

[rancid juniper]

that cpu already crunching fps

[wraith fern]

i think ddr4 is still plenty viable

i would appreciate ddr5 but with current prices id avoid it

[rancid juniper]

DDR4 is not going anywhere

[wraith fern]

do you know what % of people are using ddr5?

did the steam report say?

[nocturne flicker]

Ok look, I don't want to be that guy but can the gun spam chill?

[rancid juniper]

let me guess

[leaden pewter]

My humble set of crucial ballistix

[rancid juniper]

10%?

[wraith fern]

@leaden pewter hey ill have the same setup as you when i get my 5070ti, hows it running on games for you?

[wraith fern]

let me check

eh doesnt say for steam report

[leaden pewter]

Absolutely perfect, I do use MFG but on games without it and that I don’t use it on, it’s a significant lift over my 3080 10gb

[rancid juniper]

tis fine

[wraith fern]

great. Do you run 1440p?

[leaden pewter]

I do need more ram and more gpu but that’s for blender

[leaden pewter]

Yes

[wraith fern]

im excited to get the 5070ti, been sitting on the 3070 for a while

[wraith fern]

awesome

thank you

[royal grotto]

Nice!

[leaden pewter]

I got the Zotac solid sff model which allows me to skip the gpu support bracket again

[rancid juniper]

lookin good

[wraith fern]

awesome

i was gonna grab the gigabyte but its a little too big for my case with my front aio

so i got the pny which should be fine

[royal grotto]

My kids are currently rocking, in order of youngest to oldest:
RTX 5050(got it for 210 bucks shut up) and a 3700X
9070(bought himself for an upgrade from a 2080 Ti) and 13700K on ddr4
9060XT(I bought him this) and 7800X3D(He got in a trade deal from his 7600X3D)

Oldest is gonna upgrade to whatever AMD comes out with on the next flagship

Damn I'm old, oldest is turning 18 in feb.

[leaden pewter]

Eventually I’ll be swapping my case, aio, and fans to Phanteks Evolv X2, Thermalright wondervision, and jonsbo 360mm standard and reverse fans

[wraith fern]

i was looking at that because i think amd has much more of a future than intel

but im going to be going off to college soon and i dont plan to bring the pc

that 7800x3d deal sounds pretty sweet actually

[royal grotto]

I meant gpu wise
9060XT and 7800X3D to AMD flagship and 7800X3D

My middle child has no intention on upgrading any time soon.

I mean hes 13 and managed to save up enough for a 9070

[wraith fern]

[royal grotto]

He also has a 1440p mini-led ips, and a 1440p oled

they were only doing 130 though not 150

[sinful blade]

Idc if it’s on a private road

But don’t do that shit on public roads

[frigid stag]

at least nothing hppened

[royal grotto]

Especially since the car I did it in weighed 5100 lbs lmao 5600 with me and my boy inside

[tranquil pebble]

fr, don't drag other people into your recklessness

There is a significantly above zero chance of crashing at high speeds on public roads even if you are a pro race driver.

[royal grotto]

I love the RS7 tho, got to drive on the Nordschleife, got to daily one for 2 weeks

Its perfect

in every way

[tranquil pebble]

You can not for example, control or even know what other people are doing. You will not have enough time to react either.

[royal grotto]

Maintenance isnt bad on them either, especially for a luxury car, ESPECIALLY for a German luxury car.

[frigid stag]

well obv. there was barely anyone there and it was 130 not 150

i dont recommend it

[tranquil pebble]

still reckless

[royal grotto]

I have a racing background and can confirm, DONT follow my actions.

I have watched too many people die doing that shit

I personally lost a friend cutting up in traffic

[tranquil pebble]

its not the driver dying that is the issue... it is them causing death to unrelated people

[royal grotto]

And have lost friends TO people cutting up in traffic

Don't try at home

[tranquil pebble]

its simply morally unacceptable to put other people at risk for your own amusement

take that to somewhere you wont get anyone else killed

You can put your own safety wherever you want.

it was good, but it's not how I would like SW to be adapted

[worn wave]

I thought it was pretty peak tbh

I've found a lot of the recent SW stuff (namely mandalorian and book of boba fett) to be really safe and formulaic

Oh also bad batch

Skipped obi wan and ahsoka cause I heard they were meh but I may try them after finishing my Andor s2 rewatch

Heard the Acolyte was dogshit

[dusk knot]

[worn wave]

Ok good to hear I didn't miss too much

the worst of the worst

I could only watch 2 episodes

a true disgrace

and a dump on the franchise

XD

[worn wave]

Yeah, 4.3* on IMDb 🙈

[dusk knot]

deserved

andor was too "real" and dark for me

[worn wave]

It's more grounded and gritty for sure

[dusk knot]

Did'nt like that. there are many other war world one of two shows that do the same thing

SW is fantasy and scifi at its core...this....not too much

and the french looking people, no

thats not original

[worn wave]

I would argue that it does a really good job of setting the scene for the empire vs rebellion in the following movies

[dusk knot]

for me, a show being mature or tailored for adults does not have to take the sense of wonder and magic that the movies embarked on.

it was almost depressing. the world as is has enough of that.

war can be fun and serious.... for entertainment purposes

[royal grotto]

Can it take 4 nvmes ant 6 satas without losing any lanes?

to the main x16 slot?

[dense locust]

Can yours?

[royal grotto]

Yes

[dense locust]

I don’t think there’s enough lanes for that to be possible

[royal grotto]

1 of the nvme slots is x2 and you completely lose your 2nd x16 slot

its literally just the right amount of lanes

[dense locust]

I hope am6 has more lanes

[royal grotto]

fr

I also hope it comes with a 24c 48t as a consumer cpu

I want gaming performance and TR core counts

I could've meen MARSOC(USMC special forces) if I went to fight in Afghanistan as well but I was leaving in 1 year anyway when i got the offer.

Mine has 4, all of them are 5.0 X4 but if you use em all one goes to 5.0 x2 and you lose half the sata slots

Im currently using 4 satas and 3 nvmes

Every motherboard has so many drawbacks because of pcie lanes

[royal grotto]

My mobo also has built in 10 gig

[dense locust]

How long have we had our current lane amount

Wasn’t am4 the same amount of lanes

[royal grotto]

pretty sure

I am honestly considering moving to intel or a threadripper system for my gaming rig as well for lanes

[dense locust]

Seems Intel consumer CPUs has 4 less lanes than amd

Dunno about chipset lanes tho

[royal grotto]

The next ones are supposed to get a bunch more no?

Like the 56 core ones and whatnot that are leaked

[dense locust]

Haven’t kept up with rumors

Hopefully

If ram doesn’t kill the pc industry

[royal grotto]

I already have ddr5 so I'll be fine

[dense locust]

What about when ddr6 launches

[lone mango]

20 gen 5 and 4 gen 4
