I mean I thought about like dual degree

But I’ve learned as time goes on that research blows and I hate reading articles and data sets like that

So the phd available probably not my cup of tea

[pseudo raven]

Ah

Yeah I'm probably pursuing a dual degree

[wise wigeon]

Then again the gap in quality of notes from different health professionals is staggering

[pseudo raven]

Notes?

[wise wigeon]

Like patient notes

At least it’s digital now

[pseudo raven]

Oh

[wise wigeon]

No chicken scratch hell

[pseudo raven]

Yeah it's surprising how much quality of care even can vary

[wise wigeon]

At some point I did have a lesson on reading doctor handwriting

[pseudo raven]

On my emt shifts theres always this one nursing home that I can't believe is still running

[wise wigeon]

[pseudo raven]

Jeez lol

[wise wigeon]

[pseudo raven]

Lmao yeah I've seen Russian cursive

Everything looks the exact same

I would wanna die if I had to read that on the regular

Though this does have me curious on like Japanese or Chinese

[unborn wind]

Uhm in my testing RTX 5060 is barley 1fps worse than RX6800

[neat plover]

Does anyone know a good 420 aio fan with lcd screen

[wise wigeon]

Are most AIOs still like asetek design?

[elfin mural]

isn't steel nomad a ray tracing test?

and time spy is non-rt

look at that score gap

[unborn wind]

tiny ahh score difference btw

[elfin mural]

it's not tiny in time spy

[unborn wind]

Eh

other test tho

0.9fps diff

[elfin mural]

and the 6800 isn't that strong in ray tracing

[unborn wind]

R5 7600 for 6800

[elfin mural]

which would explain the difference

[unborn wind]

i5 14400f for 5060

32gb ram 7609
16gb ddr5 14400f

[elfin mural]

6800 is like two gens older than the 5060

[unborn wind]

Ik 6800 but it just proves 5060 is good

[elfin mural]

and nvidia has the upper hand in ray tracing

no lol, the 5060 is not a good rt card

don't let that score fool you

[unborn wind]

Is that bad for 5070

or normal or good

[elfin mural]

you're ahead of the curve

that's a good score

[unborn wind]

here’s Timespy it’s abt to be finished

lol I did a diff one for my 5070 and it said estimated fps 30 in battlefield 6 1440p ultra

And 75+ in 1080p

[wise wigeon]

That’s not right

[unborn wind]

3d mark estimated FPS is never right tho

Never trust it

[elfin mural]

just take estimated fps with a grain of salt

[wise wigeon]

Bf6 is decently optimized

[unborn wind]

Ong

[elfin mural]

https://youtu.be/DeV9RKX71I0

[unborn wind]

Redo test and it will say 140+ lol

[unborn wind]

XT?

[elfin mural]

oh right

it's an xt

[wise wigeon]

Well I’m not really looking at non game benches when comparing anyway

[elfin mural]

hard to find a non xt in this comparison

[unborn wind]

CPU is about 60-67c in Timespy cpu test

Ugh this happen before why

[wise wigeon]

Man I remember when my 9800x3d freaked the hell out of me early on

I tested Minecraft on it and it shot to 80c

Vs heavier games

[unborn wind]

2nd time 3dmark isn’t picking up my gpu ram or cpu in test results is this 3d mark issue or pc issue

[wise wigeon]

Thank you curve optimizer

[unborn wind]

Wait time spy score matters @elfin mural

My 5070 is 1300+ points off from average

[elfin mural]

time spy score does matter

[unborn wind]

Why is my card under performing so hard?

[elfin mural]

but don't take it 100% definite

at the end of the day it's a synthetic benchmark

[unborn wind]

yeah but if it’s matters why is it 1300 less then average

[elfin mural]

the average can be skewed due to the best scores being overclocked results

[unborn wind]

Is that normal 18k

[elfin mural]

yeah

i wouldn't worry about it

[bitter ridge]

Some people are better off having access to less options for a reason....

[elfin mural]

the top scores are overclocked scores like i mentioned

so the average is not entirely representative of the actual average of a bone stock 5070

[unborn wind]

It’s around same score as a 5070 ti laptop tho

That’s nasty

I think the graphics score matters more then total

Ti is as high but that’s bc cpu is 4k higher than my 9600x and 5070 ti laptop is 4k less than my card

[elfin mural]

5070ti laptops tend to have pretty strong cpus installed in em

like at least 255HX

some even with ultra 9 275HX lol

[unborn wind]

Online says average score for 5070 is 22k-24k mines 22k (not total score) maybe most ppl have higher cpus lol which ends up with higher total

[grand kernel]

what do you mean 9955HX3D + rtx 5050 mobile isn't a good pairing?

don't forget the 4K OLED

[elfin mural]

real

[grand kernel]

and 128gb ddr5

[elfin mural]

i have seen 8945hx+5050

from asus

[grand kernel]

you can get a blistering 4 fps in cyberpunk for only $3500

[elfin mural]

at least it's 1200p but jesus

ryzen 9 just to crank up the price?

[grand kernel]

but don't worry! you can use the latest mfg 6x technology to make that 18 fps with 333ms latency

[bitter ridge]

Looks like a steal for people who only care about the specs

[grand kernel]

why am i not surprised

[elfin mural]

and it was a strix

no less

[grand kernel]

of course it was

[elfin mural]

god DAMN

that's cheap as hell

i remember watching a vid about opening it up to perform upgrades tho

and it was.. a rather difficult process

doable, but unnecessarily difficult

[grand kernel]

that's a shame

my msi laptop is super easy to pop open

[elfin mural]

the bottom cover design is designed in a way that makes prying a pain

patience required

the upside is that it's an msi i guess

enter a key combo to get into advanced bios

[bitter ridge]

The lana del ray song for 007 first light was very good I think the game is going to have a good soundtrack overall

[elfin mural]

they just need to optimize the game

the first gameplay trailer was rough on ps5 pro

fps tanked in intensive scenes

[bitter ridge]

Custom engine so Ig it should be fine especially in terms of stutters

[elfin mural]

hitman world of assassination seems to be fine

i guessed it was a rather early build that they showed

rip

[bitter ridge]

I can see the ps5 pro zen 2 cpu struggling a bit in these dense crowds

[elfin mural]

at least i have never stuttered in both hitman 1 and 2

and that was when i had a much crappier laptop to play it with

haswell quad core mobile with gtx 850m

the game ran on the hard drive too

[bitter ridge]

Netflix should let us browse the entire category and require a sub when we want to watch something

[elfin mural]

i think netflix would be better if they still let you rent movies

don't need to be physical

[velvet summit]

the hitman games tend to be decently optimized but has a kinda annoying always online system

[elfin mural]

just let people rent a movie without subscribing

wanna watch a movie? you can rent it for a few days or something like that if you don't want to subscribe

[elfin mural]

at the least it isn't very invasive

[velvet summit]

there is the peacock server to circumvent the requirement for always online but it would have been better to just let players play offline without removing a bunch of the features

[elfin mural]

fair

you do lose a lot of features playing offline

[velvet summit]

true, it's not the worst always online system, but still completely unnecessary to be implemented

and the worst part is that they have server instability

sometimes the game just pops up in your face in the middle of the game with a disconnected screen

on a completely singleplayer game

that is running completely locally

i love the hitman franchise and the latest trilogy but damn that online system sucks

it's the only thing i actually greatly dislike

there's also a few gripes i had with untapped potential with game mechanics on maps that have things that aren't on any other map, but that's minor since i do undersand that it makes each level more unique

but damn that camera on hitman 3 was just there but mostly useless (freelancer did use it more but it's still mostly useless)

[elfin mural]

overall good games just filled with annoying little things

[bitter ridge]

Many 5800x3d owners seem to have decided to skip the entirety of am5 so if someone on am5 gets zen 7 x3d they can also try skipping entirety of am6

Upgrade path is very underrated

[ashen swan]

What’s the difference between
S25 and S25 FE

[elfin mural]

fe is the cheaper one

sits between A series and full fat S series

[ashen swan]

[trail nest]

chat i refunded my ryzen 5 7600x and bought the ryzen 5 9600x

did i make a good decision?

[heady plinth]

Maybe. It's a little better and uses a bit less power.

[trail nest]

i read that the ryzen 5 9600x gets less hot than the 7600x

[ashen swan]

Functionally your only gonna see a difference in like 5 dollars In electricity bill

[trail nest]

but also less heat

[heady plinth]

If you're building a whole pc that cost over $1000 I'd say might as well spend the extra $20-30 on that upgrade.

[trail nest]

from the way it looks now, my pc build is a $2000 PC lol

[heady plinth]

Newegg gives you a free power supply with it btw. Could sell it or keep it as a spare even if you're not going to use it.

[bitter ridge]

Oh I thought some new information surfaced

[elfin mural]

3060 12 gigs is returning apparently

yay, reycled old hardware

[bitter ridge]

If it replaces the 5050 at the same price the 3060 12gb is a superior gpu

[elfin mural]

no dlss 4 and 4.5 support is a bit sad tho

but xess and fsr can fill the gaps well enough i suppose

[bitter ridge]

It can use dlss 4.5 upscaling

[elfin mural]

oh nice

just without the frame gen part i assume

and with quite a bit of perf hit

[bitter ridge]

Also as for frame gen it's not like the 5050 can use it since frame gen takes some vram and the 5050 is a 8gb gpu

[elfin mural]

i would argue otherwise since i have used framegen quite a lot on my 4050 laptop with only 6 gigs

it works as long as base fps is high enough

just gotta account for the limited vram

[heady plinth]

They're supposedly replacing the 5050 8gb with a 5050 9gb using gddr7 instead of the gddr6 too. That seems a lot more plausible to me than a 3060 rerun.

heck its still talked about in the radeon subreddit

optiscaler has been a saving grace for AMD users

because that software allowed me to run RT on this anime game

and FSR 4

[grand kernel]

yeah, I used optiscaler for fsr4 in cyberpunk before official support

I'm sure they would have to more work on validation etc. than the optiscaler implementation

so it's not as easy as flipping a switch like some people might think

but they should at least say something at this point

[rancid juniper]

and they wont

lol its been over a month without driver updates either

iirc some devs that worked on FSR 4 got poached by nvidia/intel

But what professional market are they targeting after ai ends ? Or demand goes down

[grand kernel]

I mean if the AI bubble fully implodes they'll probably try to pivot back to gaming

they probably just don't have enough supply/manufacturing capacity atm and would rather focus on what makes them money than what probably loses them money

all that driver development for competitively priced budget gpus with a 0.27% market share

and they have to have it fabbed by TSMC

hopefully they get their foundry back up to speed and then they can fab gpus in house to reduce costs

[royal crow]

0.6 Ghz?

Or the way the tibes are

[worn night]

nah its position is fine

the 0.6 ghz is weird

[north crescent]

That's be pretty sad given the markup from tsmc

[grand kernel]

its probably averaging out parked and unparked cores

cause as far as I'm aware modern desktop cpus bottom out at 800mhz

[worthy meteor]

I mean tsmc has confirmed skipping on asml euv machinery for 18a and 14a iirc, that's a huge cost Intel might have to pass onto the consumer

[iron finch]

the b580 is peak though

[north crescent]

Haven't kept up with news, they just doing their own 18a/14a machinery?

[worthy meteor]

Something with using DUV still iirc

They're probably going to be relying on weird optimization to make it work

[grand kernel]

I'm not quoting that to say it's bad

I'm quoting that to say nobody gave it a chance and it's probably losing money

[iron finch]

to be fair we did give it a chance

every A series card was either so underpowered a 16XX could overpower it

or too expensive compared to a budget option

and when people looked deeper there was the CPU issue

it was only fully fixed a few months ago

and now that everything is well, the b570 and b580 are great cards

before this shortage you could find a b570 for like 199

truly a budget king

[grand kernel]

I don't think the wider market gave alchemist a chance either

just a subset of budget enthusiasts

[pseudo raven]

Most people don't want to bother

They'd rather just get a worse value but have something they already know

[iron finch]

the wider audience simply didnt know

personal example

guy i met who just bought a pc after being a console

he kept saying he had an intel cpu

he had an intel gpu

the guy had no idea that people other than nvidia make gpus

[iron finch]

That's great!
Do you speak Portuguese?
Do you have relatives here?
Have you ever visited?
Brazil is fantastic, it has many beautiful places, historical cities, waterfalls, beaches, and lots of delicious food!

I am from Minas Gerais, considered the largest state in Brazil in terms of the number of cities, totaling 853 cities. 😁

My city, for example, has 30,000 inhabitants! A small town, but it's close to a city you may have heard of, called Varginha, known as the city of the ET. 👽

for the best imo, the alchemist experience was a headache even fir enthusiasts who know how to make a computer work

even at msrp or slightly under there were generally price/dollar ratio equivalent products from AMD or Nvidia if you went up or down in price a little bit, Battlemage's only win was operating a niche pricepoint by making zero margin or potentially even losing money on sales

[abstract cedar]

Oh, that's great! Soon you'll be speaking fluently! Portuguese is a very difficult language, due to the different regions and their accents! But I know many foreigners who learned quickly! Regarding ET, the city grew a lot and became known worldwide after the alleged event in 1996, reported by the three young women at the time!

Excusez mon français

[nocturne flicker]

GameStop, which currently has a stock market valuation of around $11.9bn, said it has a commitment letter from TD Securities to provide around $20bn in debt to help finance the deal.

[rancid juniper]

wow

[nocturne flicker]

So they can account for about $30bil using their cash reserves and money from TD

So what did they do to get the other 25bil

[rancid juniper]

so they're actually confident about this huh...

[nocturne flicker]

Or is Cohen really going to make his net negative income company take on $25bil in normal interest debt

[pliant berry]

Maybe they declare themselves an ai company to get in on some of the monopoly money

[rancid juniper]

easy cheat code

[nocturne flicker]

Ah, it isn't net negative anymore

They had to close about 1000 stores globally in order to acquire positive operating income

[nocturne flicker]

I have discovered the answer

[rancid juniper]

👀

[nocturne flicker]

So they are going to issue $27.5 billion in GameStop stock, use the $20bil from TD and pull the rest from their cash reserves

[rancid juniper]

Not good with knowledge in stocks but does this mean they have enough $$$ per share to pay it off?

[nocturne flicker]

Absolutely insane

[rancid juniper]

thats still a crap load of money

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind, issuing 27.5 billion in stock means they'd be issuing over two times the current stock valuation of their company all at once to pay for an acquisition

[rancid juniper]

but that means a company like activision was bought for far more, thats genuinely wild

well, still curious to see how this plays out

[nocturne flicker]

One of their plans is to cut eBay's sales and marketing expenses in half within the first year, so I guess eBay will be moving over to chat bots and autodenying requests for customer and seller support

[heady plinth]

They want to buy ebay and pay for it with their own meme stock? And the offer is 5x the market cap of that meme stock? Where are they getting the other 55b of actual value from?

[heady plinth]

This sounds like they are offering to buy ebay for $20bn and pocket lint.

And some gamestop exec gets a golden parachute for being the fall guy.

No way that goes through. *Without bribes so it actually might if ebay is dumb enough.

[worn night]

Förvirrad hastighet

[nocturne flicker]

They are offering to buy eBay for about $20bil in debt from TD and $8bil from their $9bil in cash reserves and the rest in meme stocks

[heady plinth]

Where did gamestop suddenly get money from?

[nocturne flicker]

An offer from a company nearly 4 times smaller than eBay, per their own offer documents has over $4bil in debt and has had to close down over half of their stores to achieve a reported net income of $418mil and operating income of $231mil

[nocturne flicker]

Meme stocks and issuing a ton of no interest debt

They've issued about $4billion in convertible notes at 0% interest using the fact they were a meme stock. And used the fact they were a meme stock to issue stock at high prices and rake in money

Also from literally closing down half of the entire company in the span of 4 or so years

[snow lotus]

Is there really going to be a cpu shortage 🥀

[bitter ridge]

If you think there will be then try buying now 😉

[snow lotus]

That's what i was thinking but I'm saving up for a 5080 rn so i don't know what to do

[elfin mural]

there will be a cpu shortage

look at intel

customers are reportedly accepting silicon that used to be considered "useless" from intel now

[bitter ridge]

They still seem to be having trouble selling arrow lake refresh so if there was a shortage I would assume those would also fly out of shelves

[elfin mural]

LLMs need a ton of ram, but they also need cpu too

they're also beginning to substitute expensive gpus with cpus with a ton of cores

[bitter ridge]

Depending on what you have I would prefer waiting for both next gen cpu and gpu

Ryzen AI MAX 388+

Core Ultra 5 338H
Core Ultra 7 355
Core Ultra 7 358H
Core Ultra 7 368H
Core Ultra 7 378H
Core Ultra 9 388H

Makes so much sense

Why does Intel love binning so much

[velvet summit]

To be fair, it's only slightly different from the previous naming
It makes about as much sense to someone who wasn't familiar with the naming scheme

[elfin mural]

the last number is the difference

[velvet summit]

Also the point of binning is to give the buyer a reasonable expectation of what a CPUs performance would be
But by doing so, they'll have a bunch of rejects, which would raise the costs if they didn't sell them

Which is how you end up with so many skus

AMD does the same amount of binning

@upper rain We might have a issue\

[ashen swan]

Oh Bet

Do you want me to try with Pro Drivers or Game Drivers

I assume Pro Drivers considering you don't play that demanding of games

[upper rain]

probably that yah

[craggy shoal]

TL;DR: get 32GB so you have more budget for a good GPU. Primarily just get a good GPU for LLMs, or a good Nvidia GPU if you're doing image generation

I think 32GB is fine. More would be better obviously. It mainly comes down to the GPU you're using. If you're using DRAM for AI, it's best to consider getting a good GPU rather than CPU RAM (aka DRAM). If you're doing LLMs, I think anything modern (even AMD and I think Intel GPUs) are good options for LLMs. I think AMD GPUs are catching up a little in image generation, but Nvidia is still better overall

Anything less that 90% is a neural disorder

[proud jackal]

CONTROLLERS ARE WACK ANYWAYS

[chrome mirage]

I love Facebook marketplace. I never buy anything from there though

[royal crow]

I actually use all the keys for gaming and work

[opaque sedge]

WHAT DID U SAY?!?

[royal crow]

Controller is fine

For some things

[opaque sedge]

Controller is awesome

[royal crow]

Everything has its place

[opaque sedge]

Well customizable ones

[chrome mirage]

Mouse and keyboard for racing games is terrible

[opaque sedge]

And third person games

[royal crow]

Kbm for walking and fpv movement and general precision movement, controller for magnitude based input, hotas for flight, wheel and pedals for racing

[royal crow]

I use kbm for most of these when I can

[random osprey]

kbm for gta 5 planes

[opaque sedge]

damn no 1 top seller

[velvet summit]

i decided to look at the page for the controller and damn it's already sold out

wasn't planning on getting it since i already have the deck but idk, i didn't exactly expect it to sell out

[dusk knot]

Hm

[chrome mirage]

I expected it to sell out. People liked the experience of the steam deck so having that on a more powerful PC will be nice. Especially if they have a livingroom PC or stream their games to a docked steam deck.

[bitter solar]

I thought about it but I already have enough controllers and I hardly used my OG Steam controller

The magnetic sticks are nice though

[proud jackal]

Controllerz was so 2025

Wack

[misty sparrow]

I never used my OG controller because I couldn't get used to the lack of a second thumbstick

[nocturne flicker]

I never used my OG controller because I never owned one

[dusk knot]

hm

[worn wave]

I have one that I got off eBay for like $10 plus shipping

The trackpad is cool and for me works better for aiming than a stick, but it's a little jank sometimes. Definitely want to get my hands on the new controller with improved trackpads at some point

Not for $100 though

[opaque sedge]

Jupé

Wait wrong pic

[proud jackal]

Buy one for me too

I'm poor

[unreal trail]

[dusk knot]

[dusk knot]

Wth is that

Oh a spider

[sinful blade]

Duality of Mercari

[dusk knot]

Ive never seen that species before

[neat plover]

bro I thought this service was pronounced newie geegee not new egg

[olive plaza]

one is a scam while also below MSRP
the other is a scam while being above MSRP

[sinful blade]

Real

[bitter solar]

Yeah, I have a hard time using the track pads, even on a steam deck.

[bitter solar]

Nah, controllers are evolving almost faster than mice and keyboards. Some games are better on controller but most fps games are still best on mouse and keyboard.

[worn wave]

Thinking about the x2 superstrike as my next mouse

[sinful blade]

I laughed at that

[opaque sedge]

I cant get another mouse anymore…

[velvet summit]

spiders are like an excavator

they're both hydraulically powered

[worn night]

Oh

[unreal trail]

I like the holo white

Area 51 (danger) maybe ?

Most of them have too much noise

[velvet summit]

Hmm

My laptop is having more issues now

Still waiting for Lenovo to release the laptop I want so I can be rid of this randomly restarting but not overheating PC with a dying igpu and questionable cpu health

[opaque sedge]

[dusk knot]

Looks ok

[opaque sedge]

[neat plover]

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

Depends on the price of the 5080

At msrp it would’ve been a huge upgrade

[neat plover]

$1400

[opaque sedge]

[dusk knot]

Nope

[dusk knot]

Hunt for an FE. Don't do it

[opaque sedge]

Well if u wanna pay egregious amt of money for a product that is mot worth that price like a sucker go ahead

[opaque sedge]

[neat plover]
