I live in a town that only has one grocery store outside of dollar stores and it is purposefully kept that way because the regional chain has it in with the local government so there will never be any competition allowed in, so they get free reign over pricing and they control the entire town's wage floor

#

Also, the local government went out of their way to install a stop sign on a main road for one person's outlet because he wanted to get off his road easier and because he lends his gigantic field to the local gov't as parking for festivals and events

Lowering the resolution lowers gpu load, but it takes some gpu resources to upcale it back up. For fsr4 on Radeon 6000 and 7000 that amount of resources is a lot higher than it is for 9000 series

Arc Raiders pretty good imo

I mean it's UE but

elfin mural
#

i want to cry about the current ram pricing

opaque sedge
# idle nexus I mean it's UE but

A heavily cut down version of ue5 apparently, looks like performance issues with ue5 games really does have to do with the engine at default cuz the one in arc raiders is heavily modified

elfin mural

$100+ per 16gb

in admin powershell just type disable-mmagent -[name of feature] or enable-mmagent -[same]

memory compression saves RAM too but taxes performance cuz it has to decompress

elfin mural
#

is prelaunch the thing where windows launches my programs before i even log in?

cause i find that annoying

idle nexus
#

I think that's just startup apps no?

dense locust
elfin mural
#

ah

#

makes sense

idle nexus
#

like this stuff?

elfin mural
#

yeah i think so

#

i like auto launch but how windows handles it is just bad to me

idle nexus
#

Discord loves to launch on startup

#

steam too

elfin mural
#

i can't disable it then, sadly

idle nexus
#

well, there's always ghost-spectre windows

gutted but still works fine for me

this is included & kinda nice

I'm reading up about the RAM shortage of 1988

#

it's before my time but still interesting

#

OH HOW WEIRD

#

Turns out in 1986, the Reagan administration put economic sanctions on Japan so that they couldn't import RAM anymore

#

sounds familiar

#

late 1987 they ended the sanctions after the administration felt Japanese companies "learned their lesson," and US chip makers dialed way back on their manufacturing as a result, and converted their factories to make larger capacity modules

#

turned out people still wanted smaller ones

#

and prices went stupid

elfin mural
#

micron took 6 billion of tax money

#

it was in the chips act, an act that supposedly grants western chip companies to build fabs locally

dense locust
#

I mean ai will need chips

elfin mural
#

but look what happened, crucial is gone

dense locust
#

Never said it had to be for the consumer

elfin mural
#

ya, but the act was before the ai boom

#

now they just weaponize it to screw us over anyway

guys what does CL mean for RAM?

wraith fern
#

i doubt you could notice it

craggy shoal
#

3200MHz to 3600MHz doesn't make much of a difference 💀

trail nest
#

so do i get CL16 or CL18

pliant berry
#

CL is the CAS latency of the module

nocturne flicker
#

I dunno the pricing for DDR4. When I was thinking about that sort of thing, you could get a 3600mhz kit with low CL for a little more than a 3200 kit

wraith fern
#

not anymore

#

now that ram prices are so hihg

heady plinth
#

It's like $200 for a 2x16 now.

dense locust
#

Yeah it’s bad

wraith fern
#

i think my ram kit is like 400 bucks now

dense locust
#

I have 4x 8gb in my old pc

#

Dunno what to do with it

#

Of course it doesn’t run at full speed

trail nest
wraith fern
#

thast not 32

#

youd have to spend 220 for 32 gigs for that

dense locust
#

I think they want to do 4x 8

#

Which would not run at full speed

heady plinth
#

It would depend what the old ram was.

#

ddr4 was usually fine with 2dpc.

trail nest
#

wait why are is there a 32GB stick and 2x16GB stick

#

so does the 32GB stick only come in 1?

wraith fern
#

no

dense locust
#

32gb is 2x 16

#

16gb is 2x 8

nocturne flicker
#

There is a 32gb 1 stick option and a 32gb 2 stick option

heady plinth
wraith fern
#

i would not buy that

trail nest
wraith fern
#

yes

nocturne flicker
#

Yes

wraith fern
#

id just get 2

#

surely its much cheaper too

dense locust
#

Ddr4 sucks in single channel

trail nest
#

so i should get two 16GB stick?

wraith fern
#

yes

dense locust
#

Yes

nocturne flicker
#

Yes

heady plinth
#

You definitely want to be using 2 or reusing your old ones and having 4 total.

wraith fern
#

doesnt have to be that ram either

#

there are plenty of other brands

trail nest
nocturne flicker
#

Your mileage may vary for ram mixing though

wraith fern
trail nest
#

you said there are plenty of other brands

wraith fern
#

sure

trail nest
#

i've always just bought gskill

wraith fern
#

gskill is good

#

there may be better prices from other reputable brands

trail nest
#

i see

#

so if i buy a 1 stick 32GB RAM and only have that stick on my MOBO, would my computer be slow as hell?

wraith fern
#

why would you do that

nocturne flicker
#

I for example am using some Mushkin sticks

trail nest
#

cause it's 1 stick with 32GB RAM lol

nocturne flicker
#

You lose all the benefits of dual channel

trail nest
#

what's dual channel?

heady plinth
trail nest
#

my MOBO has a slot for 4 sticks of RAM

tranquil pebble
#

YouTube is wild ngl

wraith fern
#

well ok

#

most do

wraith fern
#

some have 2 and some have 8

heady plinth
#

Some have 6 or 16 or other numbers too.

wraith fern
#

also im pretty sure a 32 gig stick will be much more than 2 16's

#

plus one stick is inherently worse than 2

trail nest
#

i was thinking if i just threw 1 stick of 32GB RAM then i would have 32GB of RAM on my board and not two sticks of 8GB RAM

wraith fern
#

i dont understand why you would want that

nocturne flicker
#

And it would perform worse than those two sticks of 8gb

trail nest
#

which i have 2 8GB sticks of RAM on my board currently

nocturne flicker
#

Because single channel is a major nerf

wraith fern
heady plinth
trail nest
#

what if i buy 2 more sticks of 8GB RAM?

#

since i already have 2 sticks of 8GB RAM on?

wraith fern
#

youd be mixing and matching but could be more economical

#

i think ddr4 is usually fine with that?

trail nest
#

kk

wraith fern
#

not 100% sure though

#

it depends

nocturne flicker
#

Just make sure that the timings are the same and it may work fine. DDR4 did better with mix matching ram sticks but there is always the possibility of it borking

trail nest
wraith fern
#

oh yeah that would work

nocturne flicker
#

Yeah that's fine

trail nest
#

kk

heady plinth
#

As long as you can find a somewhat reasonable price. If you can't then buying a 2x16 and selling your old kit could also be an idea.

First: Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.
