SSDs and RAM now cost too much for the Steam Machine to make sense tbh

[opaque sedge]

Devs could honestly just target good performance for an am4 cpu and the 9060xt or 5060 or a 4070 for new games too

But they wont…

Crimson desert based on the hwunboxed video seems to be targeting good performance for most hardware tho

[worn wave]

Crimson desert spec sheet was without upscaling iirc

But yeah most seem to expect upscaling to be used. TBH dlss is good enough that I'll take it over TAA any day

But it's annoying that for many modern games the 60fps spec includes upscaling

[tranquil pebble]

DLSS won't run on my 6900 XT though so I'm kinda out of luck

[opaque sedge]

optiscaler time

For fsr4

[worn wave]

Tell me what your game does "native" then let me take the 20+% boost from upscaling

I spend my time playing video games and watching kid cartoons

[royal crow]

Like I'm 16, the stereotype for my demographic is that I'd be impulsive and maybe not all that smart, yet that is the demeanor I see in Trump

[queen briar]

Ai is not the reason ram cost more, its companies who are using it for AI.

[proud jackal]

It's all Jensen's fault

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

[queen briar]

This is like saying Gasoline prices are rising cause theres more cars.

[queen briar]

1000%

[royal crow]

I'm the end its all going to some Ai

Thus my point stands

[queen briar]

Correlation, not causation.

[royal crow]

Ah yes because the price of ram just happened to go up a million percent just as literally every big ai company placed orders for millions of chips of it

No relationship between the two

[nocturne flicker]

That is a silly rebuttal. Demand for gas has stayed the same, the supply has decreased. The demand for RAM has increased exponentially, the supply has remained the same or has increased at levels not sufficient to meet that demand

[royal crow]

The supply doesn't exist

The money they bought it with also doesn't exist

[nocturne flicker]

The supply does exist, it just isn't on your part of the market

The money being funni money or not doesn't change demand

[proud jackal]

I'm sure all this AI will solve poverty and solve problems

[royal crow]

Nice thing is, after this bubble finally bursts, gpus and ram and storage are gonna be a dime a dozen

[nocturne flicker]

Nope

https://tenor.com/view/tryan-trying-blocks-block-head-tryan-blocks-gif-13157134546106029566

[nocturne flicker]

To other companies

When a big company goes bankrupt it doesn't sell off its stuff to the consumer market if businesses will buy off parts of the company entirely

The data centers will be bought up by the companies that are still standing, who'll use the components to either fill slots in their current datacenters or kept in storage as replacement parts for when things fail

[opaque sedge]

Always has been

That old fart knows how to manipulate the market

[nocturne flicker]

You'll maybe see the components on the consumer market if they are old enough to be retired and sold off

[opaque sedge]

Both on the video game graphics industry and now the AI industry

[nocturne flicker]

Or they'll just trash it if they don't think the specific components will bring them money from being sold off

Afterwhich whatever that can be salvaged is salvaged and will be then sold on third party seller websites

[opaque sedge]

Hypothetically is it possible to use data center specific hardware for gaming

[nocturne flicker]

Depends

Some stuff no

[opaque sedge]

Gpus its prolly possible

[nocturne flicker]

Some stuff yes

[opaque sedge]

Cuz the rtx 6000 pro runs games without game driver iirc

[velvet summit]

datacenter gpus do not have fans

[opaque sedge]

Oh yeah

[queen briar]

RAM Supply did remain the same but its not available to consumers cause manufacturers chose to sell direct instead to consumer.

[opaque sedge]

And custom shrouds are prolly hard cuz the fan curves need a specific board bios right?

[tranquil pebble]

I have one lol

[opaque sedge]

Do u have a data center case tho?

[tranquil pebble]

[nocturne flicker]

Mhm

[queen briar]

I agree. It is a silly rebuttal. I'm bored.

[tranquil pebble]

no but I have a way to use it in a normal PC

[queen briar]

But the " this is why ram is so expensive " line is just as silly.

[velvet summit]

you don't need a server blade chassis to cool it, you just need to have a 3d printed duct to force air through the gpu

[queen briar]

People just cant enjoy memes or pictures

[tranquil pebble]

yep that's what I have

[velvet summit]

but it does require larger case

because it does make the gpu longer

[tranquil pebble]

I always buy huge cases lol

[velvet summit]

considering that quite a few people are going for matx and even itx cases nowadays, a fair bit of people might not be able to fit a datacenter gpu + duct for the fans in their case, and even with an ATX case it might be a little tight (though should probably have enough clearance)

[nocturne flicker]

At the end of the day, supply has been almost entirely diverted away from consumers in order to meet datacenter demands in order to power AI. They are technically correct

[queen briar]

Keyword is data centers. I fully believe a lot of it was also diverted into live content streaming that has grown since COVID and that's also the issue. Just no one wants to talk about it.

[nocturne flicker]

Live content streaming has not randomly and exponentially exploded in the past half year

It has been 6 years since COVID

Any widespread streaming adoption was already baked in

[queen briar]

Correct. But every drop adds to a pot. Its speculation at best. Theres no proof or talk of it

[nocturne flicker]

The proof is that prices started skyrocketing the moment AI companies started announcing they'll be massively ramping up datacenter construction for their AI projects

[queen briar]

Correct

[tranquil pebble]

is that why my favorited gifs keep disappearing?

this gif but the original speed

somebody keeps uploading it and it keeps getting removed

but i've not seen a benjammin or whatever gif that replaced it either so idk

no, it's getting fully removed

i put it in my favourites and then after some time it's deleted from tenor completely

Hmmm

Omg the 90s are coming back

[tranquil pebble]

imagine if you had to do that with SSDs

[queen briar]

Swapping disk to continue

[velvet summit]

switching to a different roll of film

[nocturne flicker]

I mean that is basically just a RAID 0 but you don't have to manually switch when accessing

[queen briar]

I really dont understand why 2.5 is the standard for SSDs when we have 3.5 inch bays for HDD and they are 1/3 the height

[nocturne flicker]

Laptops and not wasting as much space

[queen briar]

Why dont they just stack multiple SSD PCs in one shell or extend the drives

[tranquil pebble]

expensive

[queen briar]

Ok but they have different sizes like they do m.2s

[velvet summit]

laptops used 2.5" hdds for a long while

[nocturne flicker]

The size standard existed before SSDs

[tranquil pebble]

M.2 2280 is the only size that matters

[queen briar]

Correct but why not change it.

[nocturne flicker]

Why change it

Changing costs money

[velvet summit]

so that you could upgrade old laptops with it
works like new

(kinda)

still cpu limited but so much more usable compared to hdd boot

[nocturne flicker]

Plus it isn't like you'll save much space, Sata will always require a minimum amount of space for the sata and power connectors

[queen briar]

But they can charge more.

[nocturne flicker]

What market exists for it?

[velvet summit]

there isnt much point in changing the size of 2.5" hdds

[queen briar]

Yea but you only need 1 port for it

[velvet summit]

especially since m.2 exists

[nocturne flicker]

Who is jumping up and down and demanding smaller sata drives

[velvet summit]

there are sata m.2 drives that solve the small drive req

still sata interface

[queen briar]

Im not saying make smaller. I'm saying make bigger

[nocturne flicker]

But why

[worn wave]

Zero reason to make it bigger

[velvet summit]

most 2.5" consumer drives don't even fill out the entire 2.5" enclosure

[queen briar]

To get bigger drives

[nocturne flicker]

You don't need bigger drives

[worn wave]

*larger capacity?

[queen briar]

Yes.

[nocturne flicker]

Sata SSDs make size redundant for anything bigger than an m.2 drive

They aren't hard drives

[worn wave]

Pretty sure the PCB inside 2.5" sata ssds doesn't take up the whole space

[nocturne flicker]

They don't

[worn wave]

So making a 3.5" wouldn't help

[nocturne flicker]

Usually half at best

[queen briar]

Right. What I'm asking for is why dont they make a 3.5 ssd. You can fit more storage on the PCB.

[nocturne flicker]

I imagine the oldest ones did though

[nocturne flicker]

Why

[velvet summit]

also there are ssds that use up the whole 3.5" enclosure, except they're so expensive nobody except datacenters are buying them, and they aren't a whole lot faster than hdds (but more dense in terms of amount of volume needed for the amount of storage it has)

[nocturne flicker]

You can fit plenty into 2.5

Again, space limitations aren't a problem for non m.2 ssds and they don't really gain from more space than 2.5

They just don't need more space for what they are

[worn wave]

Physical space isn't an issue inside a 2.5" ssd, it's about how many nand chips the controller can handle

[velvet summit]

https://www.servethehome.com/kioxia-lc9-ssd-hits-245-76tb-of-capacity-in-a-single-drive/ kioxia made a 245TB drive in the 2.5" form factor

[worn wave]

You either need a beefier controller to handle a lot of chips, or denser chips (both are more expensive)

[nocturne flicker]

It just isn't a scenario where bigger gives better results

[frosty sinew]

Ohhh clean

[nocturne flicker]

I still want a 5.25in hard drive for giggles tho

[queen briar]

now this is the answer i was looking for. thank you

[queen briar]

hmmm this is also true.

[tranquil pebble]

the bottleneck is never the physical space, its number and density of ICs

[worn wave]

Also with the limitations of sata, multiple drives can get you higher throughput

[queen briar]

the other limitation is data cause even M.2.s take away PCI lanes.

[velvet summit]

to be fair, on server cpus nowadays, pcie lanes aren't too limited

[opaque sedge]

Whats prime beef like when compared to choice

[velvet summit]

there are plenty of them to go around

[nocturne flicker]

Less marbling in choice

[opaque sedge]

More marbling means more tender right?

[tranquil pebble]

consumer CPUs have next to no lanes though

[velvet summit]

yeah for consumer cpus they are quite a bit more limited

[nocturne flicker]

Less marbling means less fat and flavor

Tenderness comes from the type of cut

[tranquil pebble]

but tbf most people will never connect 16 NVMes to the same system

especially at current prices

marbling... its good in meat and in cheese

Well, marbling can impact tenderness too. It is just that more marbling doesn't always = tender

[tranquil pebble]

Gnome Processing Unit

[lone mango]

Yeah it is like a quarter to a third of the internal volume

It is almost all empty space

I wonder why they did not make them smaller and just have the two screws on one side secure it, since it being so much smaller would be fine with just two screws

[nocturne flicker]

Why do more work when less work betterer

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

Imagine designing a new form factor

Ugh

So tiring

[lone mango]

Well that's the thing, it is already a different form facter

Should have went further

[nocturne flicker]

Not really

Just thinner

[worn wave]

Nope, basically the same as a 2.5" hdd

[nocturne flicker]

Even then it is just barely thinner

[lone mango]

Shit I forgot about that

[worn wave]

Makes it an easy swap into older laptops

[lone mango]

I was thinking about desktops

No one else is getting crimson desert here?

Nope

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

I played elden ring

[nocturne flicker]

[opaque sedge]

No invisible walls there

U do fall to your death a ton tho

[bitter ridge]

Ac games just show a animus glitch at the ends of the map

Wow, almost as if having death pits at the edge of the world is an alternative to invisible walls

[opaque sedge]

[nocturne flicker]

What did you think open world games were supposed to just let you roam forever outside of the map?

The idea is that you can go throughout the places on the map with few restraints

Not that you can go off the map with no restraints

Though theoretically if they just do a generic landscape generation outside of the borders they could do that

[bitter ridge]

That is a 48 minute video I need to get my snacks out

someone did a DDLS 5 with charlie and someone else. i laugh but it was so wrong.

[queen briar]

Oh shit the game is demanding af witj ray reconstruction

Can barely get 60fps even with dlss balanced

Man maybe the ultrawide monitor was a mistake

[queen briar]

[queen briar]

ultra wide 2k?

[opaque sedge]

Yeah 3440x1440p

Its a decent chunk more demanding than 1440p

[grand wasp]

we got a 60hz hater. I feel that

[opaque sedge]

Yeah i’m getting around the same fps with dlss balanced on 3440x1440p than i would get with dlss quality at 2560x1440p 💀

Looks like they up the amt of rays traced when rr is enabled

[rancid juniper]

That's no fun

[opaque sedge]

Yeah so the default rt is like basically rtgi levels of demanding maybe even less like resident evil 4 remake level while turning on rr cranks ray tracing up to like cyberpunk levels

Im getting the same performance i do with path tracing in cyberpunk

[rancid juniper]

background noise no more (again) @dusk knot

[opaque sedge]

Still a lot better than i expected, i was expecting ue5 very high levels of performance

[rancid juniper]

isn't rr supposed to be some kind of denoiser? Why is it increasing ray count?

i know that increasing ray count reduces the amount of RT noise but this isn't it

[opaque sedge]

Idk the devs seemed to have hid a level of ray tracing under rr

Mods will prolly fix this in the future

Would love to enable rr with the default amt of rays

[rancid juniper]

hmm is this why Nvidia's RR looked so detailed compared to AMD's RR in that digital foundry video?

[opaque sedge]

I think amd’s rr will crank up the rays too

Cuz the performance hit was similar

[rancid juniper]

They hid a higher ray tracing setting under rr

[queen briar]

Yup. I'm not 100% for it. If you cant vote you shouldnt be taxed. But I don't believe those who make bad decisions can make more.

Unrelated but shout-out to Anker for holding true to their warranty. Got my original cable in 2021, replaced it in 2023, and getting another replacement rn

Over a certain amount it's a felony but I mean... that's the law. Why are you breaking it.

For my state taxes at least

[queen briar]

I care for you.

[worn wave]

unjust laws should not be followed

[acoustic palm]

National taxes?

[queen briar]

It's only unjust recently

[worn wave]

tbf as a under 18 year old you probably are getting almost all the taxes back in your return

[acoustic palm]

Nah my states doing rly good, I dont mind at all paying taxes to help things out. National taxes tho…

[queen briar]

If everyone wan committing murder and ending up in jail, theyd say its unjust too

[acoustic palm]

Hold up lemme get my w-2

[queen briar]

That's a good way of thinking. Proud of you.

[nocturne flicker]

It has always been unjust man

[acoustic palm]

144 state tax, 143 federal tax, 322 social security tax, 75 Medicare tax

I got about 150 back

100 from state 50 from federal

[queen briar]

Maybe we should just make all drugs legal and let darwinism prevail.

I'd vote for that

Allow it all or none of it.

[worn wave]

ah so its SS that really takes a chunk

[acoustic palm]

Well it’s everything

[queen briar]

Sad part is SS doesnt pay back

[nocturne flicker]

Weed was made a felony because Nixon wanted to jail hippies. That's it

[worn wave]

only 100 to state and fed vs 322 to SS

[acoustic palm]

But it’s a little bit over 500 in taxes, so ~10%

After my return

[sinful blade]

It still effects people. I understand its medical usage but I'm not about to be okay with fractional use. I'd be just okay with removing alcohol as well just to keep all drugs away.

[worn wave]

tbf your parents probably save a lot more than $500 by claiming you as a dependant. If you weren't being claimed you might pay less tax, idk

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

[nocturne flicker]

You are right it affects people. As in we have tons of people in jail for having something that was made a felony out of a desire for political suppression. Who we then strip away the rights of in and out of jail in the name of retribution

[acoustic palm]

Maybe they’ll save enough to buy me a maxed m6 iPad Pro 🙂

They tried compressing the textures too much in this game

Suffers from like really specific cases of pop in and shimmering

Guess u can try to over optimize something and then that ends up unoptimized too ig

There are a lot of modern games that just need to let ultra be ultra again.

Lack of a strong narrative def sucks

I’m going in the game for the action and head wracking exploration tho

Like if you tell me to just refund the game because I have a gpu the devs are too lazy to support, I am instantly not going to want to play your games going forward period. Same applies if it isn't even something that applies to me

It'd be one thing if it was a 20 year old gpu

Not that cursed all things considered

It's definitely not italian

Some Italian would probably be like [REDACTED] but I can't imagine it tasting worse

wait didn't it release already?

[velvet summit]

Yes

It released today

[opaque sedge]

It did today

Almost 12hrs ago

[elfin mural]

nice

[opaque sedge]

It also leaked 48 hrs ago and a bunch of people downloaded it without payment

[velvet summit]

I had preloaded it but haven't even launched it because I was in class then went home then did some stuff then played Minecraft with my partner then got too tired and watched YouTube and now I'm here again

[opaque sedge]

I am getting mad abt crimson desert not supporting arc gpus ngl

Like fym u made a mac version but no arc gpu support

[elfin mural]

macbook neo ran cyberpunk

with just 8 gigs of ram

at about 36 fps at that

native macos games are incredible

[velvet summit]

Phone processors are getting to be as good at computing as a modern ish laptop with an igpu fr

[elfin mural]

ofc it was upscaled

but god damn

apple, how did they manage to make 8 gigs run cyberpunk? lmao

on windows the game would crash

[velvet summit]

Better memory management I suppose

[nocturne flicker]

According to the Steam page it probably should on Mac too

[elfin mural]

i guess it would crash still over time

but the fact that it ran at all is astounding

or that it's using memory swap, using that ssd

[velvet summit]

It's probably due to the significantly lower render resolution I'd assume

[nocturne flicker]

Interesting to note min on Windows is 12gb ram

[elfin mural]

12gb

that reminds me

i used to run 12gb on cyberpunk on my old laptop

apart from the cpu and gpu holding the experience back majorly

it ran okay

[velvet summit]

I played cyberpunk at around launch with a rx570

It worked

[elfin mural]

it surely was a glitchfest tho

the ui used to literally give up working

[nocturne flicker]

Considering the min rec was a 580 that isn't so crazy

[velvet summit]

Floating cars fr

The future is here

[elfin mural]

the glitches were..

both annoying and hilarious

[nocturne flicker]

I imagine it struggled with loading in the actual graphics though yeah?

570 had 4gb yeah?

[velvet summit]

https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/1669111042327950906/B2E4972F78C8D524ECA17741AABA82158F7A5DFE/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

[velvet summit]

I had the 8gb variant which definitely helped

[elfin mural]

old cyberpunk version shenanigans

[nocturne flicker]

Ah

Though I guess it wouldn't be too bad on 4gb. One of the min reqs is the A380 afterall and that is 6gb. And is an A380

[velvet summit]

But yeah I was playing at medium low settings at 40-50fps

[elfin mural]

on another topic, im so done with windows myself

battery life is inconsistent

one day i get 8 hours, another 6

some 4

same brightness and same workload too

[velvet summit]

Apparently it could be an amd cpu issue
I heard that there was a bug that amd still hasn't fixed which causes the cpu to idle at a higher power state, and isn't a windows specific issue

[elfin mural]

i guess

since i used to get like 10w or below on video playback

now it shoots up to 15w

[velvet summit]

This is honestly one of the reasons why I want to go back to Intel for my next laptop

[elfin mural]

which sucks up all my batt

[velvet summit]

Intel is less efficient at higher loads but they at least can idle at quite low wattages

[elfin mural]

since im not made of money i might just go macos

my gaming isn't very demanding

i mostly play what, roblox? minecraft?

with some aaa games

I want to get a ThinkPad now for Linux as my main

Want to ease myself into switching to Linux (as a desktop environment) and not on my main system

[elfin mural]

macos and apple arm

best combo for battery runtime

and i don't have to think about which vendor of a processor should i buy from

[velvet summit]

It should be fairly trivial for me to switch since I've been using non gui Linux for server use for several years now

[rancid cliff]

Hey I have "MSI X870 GAMING PLUS" MB, and right under the CPU socket, when i run it normally, i see big red diode constantly going. What does it mean?

[velvet summit]

Which one of the LEDs are lit

[rancid cliff]

Not the start up LEDs

I boot up normally

[velvet summit]

Oh

Hmm

[rancid cliff]

The weird one between GPU (PCIE) and Socket

[velvet summit]

The motherboard manual doesn't show any LEDs between the PCIe slot and cpu socket
Does the nvme have a led for some reason?

[rancid cliff]

Why can't i post image

Argh

[elfin mural]

you don't have any roles for some reason

[rancid cliff]

No it is definitely on motherboard

I can see it if i look into the case

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[elfin mural]

i believe you should be able to post pics in #building-and-recc-chat

try that

[rancid cliff]

Done

[elfin mural]

looks like it's from the ssd

[bitter ridge]

Custom engines and Intel Arc gpus don't go together well @opaque sedge

Something similar happened during Starfield release as well

[nocturne flicker]

Customer service and just refund the game lel we don't care don't mix well together either

[dusk knot]

I can’t believe it…..the end…..

😭

Unbelievable

[misty sparrow]

I know

[dusk knot]

Holy crap. I’ve never seen Soo much action in my life

This guy must’ve have taken down over 500 guys on screen

He’s the goat

No non-powered action hero can match him

I thought all 4 movies were good

[dense locust]

That 5070 thing is a lie

[tall pine]

funny short

[bitter ridge]

This thing has a better cpu than the PS5 but sadly a worse gpu

Too little too late

Especially if it costs like $700-900

[velvet summit]

I wouldn't say too late but it definitely is a bit late

I think the thing that would sell the best is the steam controller though

[dry quiver]

Question: I will start building a new system when I get home from work tonight and will probably use my old system for streaming if I ever decide to get back into that. I will be transferring my old m.2 ssd over as the OS drive for the new and leaving the 2 1/4 SSD in the old one. Would the old SSD suffice for streaming?

[velvet summit]

streaming by itself doesnt use much drive activity

if you're recording then it may use more but it would probably be sequential writes which even hdds typically could do pretty decently

[dry quiver]

Ok. Cool. Thanks!

[royal crow]

Thus is why we love Costco

[velvet summit]

im looking at michelin's site for tire reviews and basically all the negative reviews are of people complaining of their tires wearing out 3 years before their warranty was out, plus barely around halfway through the milage warranty limit

michlin has 6 year or 80k miles warranty

people aint using it

[queen briar]

is this fake?

[sinful blade]

Nope.

[sinful blade]

Chuck Norris has died

[worn wave]

The price being .00 means it's a manager special, likely clearing out stock or a display model

[sinful blade]

Real

[queen briar]

yea but the 9800x3d isnt $1000

[worn wave]

?

[sinful blade]

[queen briar]

Ain't no way...

[velvet summit]

TIL that costco does free rotations and flat repairs on tires that you purchase from them

(which also are typically cheaper than buying from other tire shops)

[grand wasp]

hot dam

[bitter ridge]

Has native Mac support but no Intel arc gpus support is surprising

Did you reach double digit playtime in crimson desert @opaque sedge

[opaque sedge]

Not yet i fell asleep for almost 12 hrs 💀

Idk if i can play today cuz as I was waking up my shoulder popped out for a sec and popped back in and I’m in a lot of pain rn

Might have to go to an urgent care

[bitter ridge]

Oh take care

Fsr 4.1 actually a noticeable improvement over 4

[tranquil pebble]

Why is FSR 4 only on RDNA 4?

[bitter ridge]

Only Amd knows

At first I thought it was about selling rdna 4 gpus but now due to shortage they will sell regardless so they might as well bring it to rdna3
