5ghz was still not super common for 4790K I think most people were getting like 4.7-4.8

[elfin mural]

now the quad fx platform isn't related to bulldozer at all

[bitter ridge]

3600 will be missed

[elfin mural]

it was amd's attempt to fight intel's core 2 quad

cause the phenom didn't release in time

[grand kernel]

I was also using a $20 cooler lol

but I did at least delid it

[olive plaza]

the Phenom launch was a dark time for AMD

[elfin mural]

they had to come up with a quick stopgap solution

[olive plaza]

with the compute bugs on the first gen Phenoms

[elfin mural]

oof

[grand kernel]

delidded 4790K with a $20 air cooler probably beats non delidded 4790K with 420mm aio

🤣

[olive plaza]

really? i didnt know it was thermal pasted under

[elfin mural]

as much as i dislike the hyper 212 evo cooler from cm

[grand kernel]

yeah they used thermal paste TIM until 9th gen

[elfin mural]

the fact that it kept remaining relevant is insane to me

the hyper 212 released a long time ago

[grand kernel]

9th gen high end was solder TIM idr about midrange

[olive plaza]

my Windows XP retro PC uses one of the launch models

and I do mean launch model

[grand kernel]

that 4790K had some crusty paste under the IHS lol

[olive plaza]

the quality of life for installation on the original ones is VERY bad

[grand kernel]

4770K used even worse paste

[elfin mural]

i heard the newest hyper 212 evo utilizes cm's new 3d heatpipe tech

[olive plaza]

I'm running a Core i5 680 with my 212

[safe cape]

i think this one is on the top of most sold cpus

[grand kernel]

is there any air cooler that's not thermalright or noctua that's still relevant

[safe cape]

a lot of friends have this cpu

[olive plaza]

yes

[elfin mural]

hyper 212

[olive plaza]

Scythe

[grand kernel]

people are still buying hyper 212s?

[elfin mural]

that thing can run on anything modern since it's still on sale

[bitter ridge]

Yeah 3600 is popular which is precisely why it was in the test system

[elfin mural]

cm kept updating it

[olive plaza]

Scythe and Thermaltake both make some really relevant low profile options for slim ITX

[elfin mural]

and tbh, the hyper 212 is still popular

[safe cape]

owned one lol

[olive plaza]

i just realized, my daughter's PC also has Hyper212 LOL

[bitter ridge]

Df did a poll and found out their Audience uses something more powerful than the 3600

[grand kernel]

oh wow

https://a.co/d/07k1PQyc

$15

not bad

[olive plaza]

they've been as low as 9.99 in the past

[grand kernel]

these days I kinda just default to thermalright for air cooling

it's ridiculous how good they are on high end cpus

[elfin mural]

therm alright

[rancid juniper]

can't go wrong with thermalright

[grand kernel]

I haven't been doing much building recently though so I'm not keeping up with the market as much

just done a few repairs recently

[dusk knot]

nope

[elfin mural]

imo cpu cooling has peaked

[grand kernel]

had a former client bring in a pc I built for him 6 years ago cause the aio was starting to fail

[elfin mural]

it's just incremental improvements now

[grand kernel]

everything else was still going great so that was nice to see

[bitter ridge]

I was surprised to see such a large percentage be on am5 since ddr5 is so expensive

[grand kernel]

he was saying it might be time to upgrade to a mac studio

I slapped a pa120 onto his 3700x and he stopped talking about upgrading lol

that pc is so ridiculously quiet I can't even tell that it's on

he doesn't game on it so it's just a 3700x and a display adapter

[olive plaza]

I'm waiting on parts, but my re-build is: 3800X, 4x 8GB DDR4-3600 CL14 (TridentZ Neo, I've owned for years) and 2TB NVMe with RX6800

[grand kernel]

I just set the case fans to be off as long as the cpu is below 80°C

it doesn't even hit 80°C in small ffts avx2

[olive plaza]

and I think I'm going to use the Thermalright PA Digital that came with a trade-in I took

[grand kernel]

with the pa120 at 30% fan speed

that pc is quieter than breathing

[bitter ridge]

Good to see the steam controller scalpers get banned on ebay

[bitter ridge]

We could probably see bigger gains if a model was made with just am5 in mind

[olive plaza]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/176382351168 you should pick this up, delid and OC the crap out of it. This example was manufactured the 3rd week of October in 2015. 6th gen on desktop (6700K) had already been on store shelves for 2 months when this was manufactured. The bin should be really, really good.

[grand kernel]

no longer have a platform for it

[olive plaza]

F

[grand kernel]

yeah I put it in a cheap build to get my uni friend into pc gaming for the first time

no more macbook gaming

4790K + 16gb ddr3 + 512gb nvme + gtx 1070

still a good starter build in 2022

sold it for $250

I manually tuned that ddr3 as well

full subtimings

so it was outperforming 7700K with ddr4-3200 lol

oced cpu ram and gpu

[grand kernel]

speaking of good bins on late production

did you see late zen 2 chips?

holy crap

we went from "just use PBO to 4.4ghz boost cause you'll get 3.9-4.1ghz all core" to "don't bother with PBO cause you'll get 4.6-4.8ghz all core" in the same generation

[unreal trail]

[grand kernel]

i feel like zen 2 has to be the best example of bins getting better in late production

late ryzen 5 3600s being 20% faster than early ryzen 5 3600s

at maximum OC potential

[elfin mural]

production process refinements at its finest

[olive plaza]

there's some real late ones

I might have a pic of one, one moment

[elfin mural]

5800x3d returns

[dusk knot]

Any cost yet?

[elfin mural]

dunno what pushed amd to begin production again

[olive plaza]

2021 week 38

[elfin mural]

probably the ram crisis

[dusk knot]

Am5 being too expensive

Because

AI

[elfin mural]

no cost yet

[olive plaza]

For reference 3700X launched in 2019 so this particular CPU was manufactured almost an entire year after Zen3 launched

[elfin mural]

since the news has only shown a leak

the leak originated from taiwan

[bitter ridge]

They are the only one using that node iirc so might as well take full advantage of it

[elfin mural]

can't wait for computex 2026 in june

that's probably when nvidia unveils the n1

[grand kernel]

wow

you ever try ocing that one?

[bitter ridge]

Also hopefully more update on panther lake handhelds

[tranquil pebble]

average gmod experience for me lol

[elfin mural]

samsung is officially worth $1T

the ram boom really boosted em huh

[bitter ridge]

They should be worth more then $1T imo but for various other reasons

[dusk knot]

@opaque sedge tomorrow...9850x3d

[opaque sedge]

Did u reserve it online?

[nocturne flicker]

Smasnug should not be worth $1T

Dang, I forgot I was in this server. Had probably 2-3 yrs. This my second time in here I think. Hello everyone

[bitter ridge]

Wait for zen 6 x3d and ddr5 prices to drop ? Unless you are getting a microcenter bundle

[dusk knot]

I am getting the bundle

also i need to upgrade before my big move

[worn night]

wb

[dusk knot]

hello!!!!!!!!!

[bitter ridge]

What about upgrading after your big move

[dusk knot]

not going to happen for a long time

[bitter ridge]

Things don't last forever

[dusk knot]

ik

it wont be my last upgrade ofc

its for work and gaming

[nocturne flicker]

I shall upgrade when I upgrade from broke

[raven tundra]

egg

[nocturne flicker]

egg

[velvet summit]

i shall upgrade when ddr6 comes out

i'll be "downgrading" my laptop (in terms of performance) though

but upgrading it in terms of it actually working

[bitter ridge]

I think I have seen every comparison of hx370 vs 358h

[worn night]

Good enough risk for a $150 14900k?

[velvet summit]

i never trust anybody that says they bought something for parts/not working and haven't "messed with it"

[bitter ridge]

A working 7600 for that money seems like a better idea to me

[velvet summit]

nobody who buys something broken expects it to work, so they would try to fix it if they buy it

[bitter ridge]

Which bundle is it

[dusk knot]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007321/amd-ryzen-7-9850x3d,-asus-b850e-tuf-gaming-wifi-am5,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

and will replace the MOBO with this.....

[bitter ridge]

Itx huh hope you are planning to build a console sized pc with that

[dusk knot]

i am

thinking of getting the Ncase M2

god...SATA ssds are soo expensive now

I'm thinking of selling my fans alongside my case

hm...guess I'll do that

[velvet summit]

you would sell off your fans

[proud jackal]

[proud jackal]

[bitter ridge]

Elon is around 860b rn so getting close to 900b

[dusk knot]

Theo richer

I heard rumors of him begging theo to turn into a trillionaire. theo declined as it wasn't in his interest

[bitter ridge]

Ram prices going up in real time because of this

[dusk knot]

sadly, it part of my career path

[nocturne flicker]

I think I know and I would recommend not even disclosing that you can see that.

[royal crow]

true

great, the thousand dollar, week-long trip my school is putting on for the seniors, is to the most original and interesting place ever:

athens

freaking athens

I definitely want to go to an old city with a ton of tourists and and landmarks that are unimpressive and dumb

[nocturne flicker]

My senior class didn't have a trip.

[royal crow]

that sounds way better than going somewhere like switzerland or norway or sweden or genuinely anywhere else with any interesting terrain! I definitely want to leave my city to go to a more antiquated city! that sounds so fun!😃

like genuinely who tf wants to do that

cities and history arent that cool

yk what is cool? mountains

[nocturne flicker]

Spending 10 times the money just to go look at fjords or mountains doesn't sound that cool either

If I wanted to see a mountain, I'd turn my head to the left in my kiosk and examine a nearby mountain

[royal crow]

i can take a 6-man group out to a WAY more awe-inspiring and incredible locale for a week(minus gas money)

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe it is because for the exception of about 2 years I've always lived in visible range of a mountain, but mountains ain't that interesting

[royal crow]

texas is flat as a freaking pan

literally the only redeeming natural quality of the DFW area is that we sometimes get supercells

everyone I know loses their minds at the sight of a hill

[icy ore]

lmao

[worn wave]

Wait is is $10,000 per person??

That seems insane for a weeklong trip

[nocturne flicker]

1k

Not 10k

[worn wave]

Wow how did I misread that

[royal crow]

nah

$1150 iirc

[worn wave]

Does 1k include airfare? I assume not

[royal crow]

which is still a lot of money to go see a tourist trap

[royal crow]

idk

[nocturne flicker]

You've never flown anywhere before, have you?

[worn wave]

1k for a week of lodging and meals ain't bad

[worn wave]

Bro just has personal beef with history

[royal crow]

i love flying, I just don't have traditional desires when it comes to choosing a vacation destination

[nocturne flicker]

1k for airflight, room and meals during a jet fuel shortage and post COVID for a week is a great deal

[worn wave]

I doubt it includes airfare tbh

[royal crow]

i would much rather spend a week either at home or in the mountains or the desert

[nocturne flicker]

Well I'm pretty sure those trips aren't mandatory so...

[royal crow]

hell even seeing the prairies would be neat

[royal crow]

thankfully no

[nocturne flicker]

When presented with fly-over country or a trip to Greece bro would choose prairies 🤨

[royal crow]

ig if it was the mountains of greece

[nocturne flicker]

Just go stand in a field, you'll have full prairie experience without going anywhere

[royal crow]

i don't have a big enough field nearby💔

I don't find nearly as much beauty in humanity or our creations as I do in what God has made

God made the rockies and the sierra nevada and the american desert; we made athens. one is infinitely more interesting and beautiful than the other

[nocturne flicker]

Claims he finds beauty in the things his god has made

Doesn't find beauty in humanity, one of the things his god is claimed to have made

[royal crow]

note that i said "humanity and our creations"

[nocturne flicker]

You said or

[royal crow]

true

[nocturne flicker]

Also putting and there doesn't change the fact that it includes humanity

[royal crow]

but out of all the things God's made i think we can all agree we're the worst

[nocturne flicker]

I don't believe in your god

So I can't

[royal crow]

even still

humanity is awful any way you present it

[nocturne flicker]

Not really

It just is. We do bad, we do good.

[olive plaza]

@sinful blade 4 teeth pulled today. You are still the record holder

[royal crow]

i can still find beauty in humanity, just not nearly as much as i can in anything else. human can make some cool stuff, that is far outshined by anything in nature

[olive plaza]

I'm currently having my first food after the procedure, instant mashed potatoes lol

[nocturne flicker]

You think swamps are beautiful? Or deserts? Or tundra plains?

[olive plaza]

beauty is in the eye of the bee holder

[royal crow]

it depends, yes, and yes.

actually the american desert is top of my list of places to go eventually

[nocturne flicker]

Which desert? America has more than one desert

[royal crow]

4 corners area, big bend area, death valley

the mojave is really cool too

[nocturne flicker]

That'd be the Colorado Plateau, Chihuahuan Desert and the Mojave

[royal crow]

smth like that

[nocturne flicker]

The rock formations can be interesting out there but tbh it gets old. I may be biased though because I spent 6 months in Arizona. Mostly NW of Phoenix but I got around

I ordered a new peripheral btw

[bitter ridge]

5080 and below owners probably will be surprised by how good project helix performs

But ofc that thing should be compared to gpus of it's time and not what we have currently

[ashen swan]

[bitter ridge]

Problem with the 5070=4090 thing is that even if the 6070 actually outperforms the 4090 people would have a hard time believing it

[chrome mirage]

Mine has almost shipped

[proud jackal]

Controllers are wack

[bitter ridge]

Can't play racing games without them

[chrome mirage]

I dare you to play Forza with keyboard and mouse

[bitter ridge]

Also with mouse and keyboard you have to clean your mousepad everyday

[chrome mirage]

Why would you have to clean your mouse pad every day? I clean mine twice a year and it looks fine.

I hope the steam controller can play Forza horizon 6 downloaded through the Xbox app

[opaque sedge]

Hmm would prolly need to add the game to steam first

[bitter ridge]

Did you watch Michael @dusk knot

[velvet summit]

would you buy the steam frame when it launches

[opaque sedge]

Prolly not, vr doesn’t interest me very much other than beat saber and i alr have a quest 2 for that, altho the steam frame does have a feature I’m interested in streaming the stuff ur pc renders, so theoretically i could be able to slap on the steam frame and play regular games that my pc’s rendering in bed

I hope the next iteration of the steam deck includes the streaming thing the steam frame comes with

[velvet summit]

i wonder if it's even possible
you're talking about the foviated streaming right? that requires precise eye tracking

i dont think a steam deck would be able to do that considering the range of distances and angles you might use it in

it also wouldn't really need it since streaming 720p@anyfpsthatyourpccanrender video is much easier than 4k@144hz

[icy ore]

[neat plover]

both the t16 and t14 intel versions are gone from the "coming soon" status but are also not released

[elfin mural]

either cancelled or facing availability issues

[random osprey]

mb, i bought them all already so they arent releasing

[opaque sedge]

Nah just regular streaming but thru a dongle solution like the steam frame’s gonna use instead of wifi

[opaque sedge]

I’m at east coast

[velvet summit]

the steam frame is using 6ghz for the video stream

💀

[opaque sedge]

Damn

[velvet summit]

2.4ghz for that throughput would suck lmao

[opaque sedge]

Imma just call it dongle based streaming

[velvet summit]

dingle

[opaque sedge]

[elfin mural]

it makes sense tho for a vr device

[velvet summit]

honestly it's not really needed for a deck

[opaque sedge]

But it would be nice to have

[velvet summit]

steam deck 2's resolution would be at most 1080p

[elfin mural]

and 6ghz isn't crowded

so that's a plus for signal stability

[opaque sedge]

I have a strong feeling they’re gonna stick with 800p

[velvet summit]

probably, especially with the screensize

[opaque sedge]

Unless they wanna make the next deck bigger

But pretty sure they hope to downsize it iirc

[velvet summit]

the steam deck is already getting some complaints from switch users for being too big

i think it's currently the perfect size

[opaque sedge]

Weak arms ass gamers

[velvet summit]

joycons are the worst controllers i've ever used

[opaque sedge]

Steam deck’s control scheme so good they decided to make a controller out of it

https://tenor.com/view/mike-ohearn-baby-dont-hurt-me-john-cnea-gif-1821820141494841279

[velvet summit]

they are the con but there is no joy

[elfin mural]

a $100 controller

i'm not american so my mind just breaks when i see 100 bucks attached to a controller

[velvet summit]

they did put all the bells and whistles into it

[elfin mural]

that's fair

[velvet summit]

and probably no economy of scale

[opaque sedge]

Yeah price hurts a bit but even third party controllers are around the same price range for ones that offer similar features, altho they do tend to have higher polling rates

[elfin mural]

i just find 100 bucks to be too much for me

that said, it looks like a good controller

[opaque sedge]

This one was 90 bucks, same joystick modules the steam controller’s gonna use and 8k polling altho i dont use it at 8k

[velvet summit]

xbox and playstation controllers are mass produced to the point of being able to have cheap manufacturing but valve doesn't really have that infrastructure
i assume they probably have increased manufacturing capacity but iirc they were using their valve index factory to make steam decks initially

[opaque sedge]

Altho there are cheaper alternatives that are just as good

Such as the vader 5 pro

For 70 bucks

[elfin mural]

that same gamesir controller could be had for less money here

all because i'm near china

[opaque sedge]

The 8k version?

Damn

[elfin mural]

lemme see for the 8k version

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure china gets a nba 2k collab controller with a nice color scheme

[craggy shoal]

Man I just woke up and y'all are jumping from VR to controllers lol (not blaming y'all for anything btw lol)

[opaque sedge]

Gonna jump to mice next

[elfin mural]

oof, it's almost 120 here

ouch

[opaque sedge]

Damn more expensive

Wbt the non collab version?

The blingy looking one i have

[elfin mural]

yeah that's the one im looking at

[opaque sedge]

Damn

Yeah 120’s insane

Gamesir getting too high on their horses

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

[craggy shoal]

So uhhh are 3rd-party controllers actually getting good?

[elfin mural]

i guess if i really need an elite controller, the gamesir would be my first choice cuz steam doesn't sell anything here hardware wise

better than getting slapped in the face by shipping

[safe cape]

hall effect controller under 20$ YES

[opaque sedge]

Very good so the joystick modules the steam controller’s using, third party or specifically Chinese manufacturers have been innovating on that front for the past decade

[opaque sedge]

The gamesir tegenaria lite is a wired hall effect 20 dollar controller and for reason it actually has pretty good latency 💀

[craggy shoal]

lol I haven't kept up at all. I've been shopping for car parts I can't afford

[opaque sedge]

The chinese are weirdly passionate abt controllers

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1437358902583885907/1483226549162606784/1773334317345.gif

[elfin mural]

there are a ton of chinese gamers

[opaque sedge]

They make some insane stuff for their market like this shit here

[elfin mural]

cause the population is huge

[craggy shoal]

I've seen this one years ago and it was the first 3rd party controller I actually wanted

[safe cape]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jlFCRdUohYs

waiting a review for this

[craggy shoal]

lol I could print a steering wheel for my controllers

[opaque sedge]

Either way for third party controllers most brands are an easy recommendation, specifically gamesir, established brand so customer service should be decent too, altho looks like they’re still using discord as a means for cs, dont know if thats a good or bad thing

[elfin mural]

the heck is this lmao

that's pretty unusual

[safe cape]

yeah hhh

[opaque sedge]

The wheel thingy has force feedback apparently

[elfin mural]

it could be very fiddly to play games with

idk tho, depends on reviews

[craggy shoal]

I remember in the PS2 through early PS4 era (basically since I've been alive), it was an insult to be handed a 3rd party controller when you'd go to parties

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure they’re also behind gamehub development for mac

[elfin mural]

yeah

but i don't like gamehub

they make you enter your steam credentials

crossover would be better, tho it's like 60 yearly?

or 500 for a lifetime license

[opaque sedge]

Now its those third party controllers that have all the features, extra buttons, stick tension adjustment, high polling rates and low latencies, elite joysticks

[elfin mural]

crossover is made by the same people who makes wine with valve

it's an option for mac gaming if one is really desperate

[opaque sedge]

60 yearly still cheaper than console online sub

💀

[elfin mural]

500 once for a lifetime license tho

[craggy shoal]

The issue with 3rd party controllers in the past was mainly how cheap they felt and connectivity issues. Bonus points of they made a rattling sound when you shake it

[elfin mural]

if you don't wanna spend the 60 a year

[opaque sedge]

Damn

Altho for pc third parties are a good option now since they offer all the customizability u may ever need

If u get a licensed controller tho

Customizability becomes limited

[nocturne flicker]

Because back then 3rd Party console gamepads were basically make the official gamepad but cheaper and worse

[craggy shoal]

But what makes them better now? I would imagine that the 1st party controllers are more open-source now, but surely not, right?

[nocturne flicker]

Primarily via MadCatz

The difference is the companies are putting out better products

MadCatz is what drove the reputation for 3rd party bad because MadCatz put out a ton of stuff and it was all pretty bad

[royal crow]

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-star-wars-memories-name-ben-kenobi-gif-4100026

the one product of their's i have broke a couple years after i got it

actually that's the whole reason i got an 8bitdo controller

[unreal trail]

8bitdo has been pretty good to me

[velvet summit]

By not being shit (or rather you can buy 3rd party controllers that aren't shit for less than first party)

[unreal trail]

I got an 8bitdo as a second Switch 2 pro controller

it was only like 40 dollars

[velvet summit]

there are definitely still shit 3rd party controllers around but with how many reviewers there are, you are bound to find a review or 2 of people testing the shit controller and saying that it's shit
or there being like blogs or such of "the best cheap 3rd party controllers" or whatever

[unreal trail]

like PowerA

trash controllers

[worn night]

pretty card

[bitter ridge]

The case market is samey and boring so anything even slightly unique out of the box is welcome

Case and power supplies companies are sort of at the mercy of Nvidia and Amd to produce good gpus and cpus so that their products also sell

Also GN worst thermals could mean you get 69c instead of 67c

[velvet summit]

Six seven

I am of the opinion that cases do not have to be unique

The few existing variations are enough

r u deadass?

Isn't that r9 390 comparable to a series s but would lack the newer feature set

[grand kernel]

uhhh

not really?

[sinful blade]

No

[grand kernel]

in terms of some synthetic benchmarks yeah

[sinful blade]

It’s closer to a 590

[grand kernel]

but modern games are gonna be hit or miss given how long ago that card lost driver support

may 2021

[grand kernel]

interestingly the r9 390 actually appears to beat the card that people say the series S is equivalent to in something like time spy

didn't know the series S was that weak

[sinful blade]

Series S has 30fps locks to a lot of games

[grand kernel]

I imagine it has to use upscaling to hit 30 fps in many games then

wait what if its just that they all have ai psyhchosis and are all stupid so they can't even push an update without breaking smth

what if the copilot ai has realized what the gamers want and is trying to do good but microsoft and xbox realize that copilot wont make them money that way so theyre removing it before it loses them money 🗿

Good luck that was steam machine project. But it could be similar. Just seen no need for the system to change tv still only allowed 40 GBPS max frame size at 120 hz no new features for tv.

Message of the day

Peter Pan is actually a murderous killer who kills for fun a quote in the books says he "thins them out" (Thins out usually means killing in many situations) if you read original book from 1911 it showcases this.

The Disney version of Peter Pan is also pretty evil but he hides it better but still likely murders people just not show on screen lolz.

Was on vacation so had a chance to look into some of the original source material that inspired Disneys Peter Pan.

[pliant berry]

yeah a lot of the source material for classic disney stories are actually pretty dark

[onyx merlin]

the only vague area in regards to origina 1911 version is if the Darling line is the first group of females Peter gets obessed with and allows into neverland.. the original does imply a bit hes been taking other females rarely over the course of 200-1000 years ? not sure how long he was in charge lolz

Also I do wonder if he murdered those previous ones as well or just let go.

Cuz he let Wendy leave instead of straight up murder

[heady plinth]

Original story of little mermaid was pretty different too.

[onyx merlin]

let me guess she was some being who murdered humans and enjoyed it or something ?

And grew bored and was curious what having legs would be like ?>

Message of the day, sure the empire mightve been racist but they weren't necessarily in the wrong either

You could just as easily count the rebellion as a mad terrorist group

Alderaan was just a warning shot

Although I do like halos take on it better, the elites actually coexisted with humanity after the war

[upper rain]

i like that story line quite a lot because it also retcons a lot of rationality to the Empire's vision of a fleet of capital ship destroyers and light, unshielded fighters

[upper rain]

yah, Halo is really good

[royal crow]

And during the war, also highly regarded humanity and respected them for their spirit

[royal crow]

Halo is one of the games of all time

[worn wave]

Thousands of hardworking people loyal to a fascist empire vs two billion Alderaan inhabitants

calling the complete annihilation of two billion people a warning shot is genuinely insane

[upper rain]

sounds like treason

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-treason-star-wars-emperor-gif-8547403

besides that's just new republic propoganda anyway, Alderaan was destroyed by a chain reaction of major gas explosions caused by rebel activity on the planet

the Empire tried as it might to prevent the catastrophe but it was too late

If anything, good performance with no frame gen or dlss is to be encouraged

Especially since it's a heavily stylized game

You plot out a list of criteria you want meet and try to check each of them out

For me for a APU to be good needs to have
Good Igpu performance ✅ Good efficiency✅ Access to good upscaling✅

funny idea I just had: a maglev computer mouse

[bitter ridge]

Which is why I am heavily considering switching from hx370 to 358h

Run war thunder at 120-180fps high graphics

I am leaning towards the 5 125h since it's the cheapest

[bitter ridge]

That sounds like a tall order for igpus

[iron lynx]

Also it's hard to find integrated graphics information

[tranquil pebble]

even for some dGPUs

1440p

[tranquil pebble]

yeah iGPUs tend to do not well at higher than 1080p

Then I'll get a egpu

[tranquil pebble]

At 1440 you'll probably want to upscale

absolutely, overkill even

[bitter ridge]

b390 seems to be similar to a 6600

[tranquil pebble]

yeah expecting 120 fps out of that is a little wishful thinking

but maybe WT is really light. I would not know.

[iron lynx]

Wt is very well optimized

[iron lynx]

Ah ok

[bitter ridge]

Running fast≠optimized

Wish Nvidia did this for gpus

[tranquil pebble]

RX 6600 has 28 CUs

[pliant berry]

seems like a pretty fair way to limit scalpers

[silver sparrow]

yall ever just open a few tabs on firefox

[pliant berry]

yeah I think the most I had still open just because I forgot to close them was around ~350 tabs

[silver sparrow]

most i usually get is like 10-15 tabs spread between like 2 screens

depending on how much stuff im actually trying to deal with

[pliant berry]

yeah that's pretty reasonable. I just got so used to search for old tabs rather than opening a new tab for a site lol

[silver sparrow]

well it varys for me, its been a lot recently cause im finally getting a house, so ive had like a thousand pages of paper work i have to go through

[royal crow]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING. GENUINELY WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON FREAKING FIREFOX THAT REQUIRES 30 MOTHER TRUCKING GIGABYTES OF RAM.

[silver sparrow]

look man when you have 64 gigabytes of ram, you just dont need to care about things anymore

[pliant berry]

there aint' nothing to worry about

[royal crow]

We should all aspire to this type of apathy /j

[tranquil pebble]

There is a good chance I will be the first person to review this on Newegg

[royal crow]

Isn't Firefox supposed to have like a third of the ram use of chromium

[pliant berry]

my game keeps crashing

[tranquil pebble]

memory leaks can happen in anything

[royal crow]

Also if i ever make a new browser architecture I'm calling it vanadium

[royal crow]

True

[tranquil pebble]

Fun fact though: it took a LOT more tabs to crash Firefox than to crash Chrome when I tested it

I wasnt even able to crash FF by spamming tabs

Chrome died at less than 100 though

[nocturne flicker]

Firefox still has memory leaks and still does the reserved ram thing Chromium does

[tranquil pebble]

also I had only 32 GB of RAM at the time so maybe I should retry since I have 96 GB now

[royal crow]

Are there any other platforms besides the 2

[tranquil pebble]

Chromium, Webkit, and Gecko (Firefox) are the only modern feature complete browser engines ik of

[nocturne flicker]

If you keep Firefox open all the time just make a script to purge your ram every so often

[tranquil pebble]

and of those, Chromium is related to Webkit

[nocturne flicker]

I set it to once a week and never have any issues build up

[tranquil pebble]

put Hatsune Miku in it and it will have a memory leek

[craggy shoal]

rookie numbers

[nocturne flicker]

Well I guess it isn't reserved ram, it is just memory bloat

[royal crow]

Or zhuang fangyi

[craggy shoal]

Insane how none of y'all have thought of putting any of your moms in Firefox for it to have a memory leak

"did you watch-"
no. i did not watch pretty much any movie

they were too expensive

i just read books at the public library my whole childhood

[nocturne flicker]

He asked about a Youtuber

[velvet summit]

oh

in that case i did watch youtube when i was young but mainly more... technically sciency but more hacky/experimental youtube

i watched grant thompson quite a bit

also cody'slab

also a strangely large amount of vat19

[heady plinth]

Youtube didn't exist when I was young.

[velvet summit]

i also watched dantdm and lucky penny shop quite a bit, a bit of unbox therapy a bit later on, ethoslab, sethbling, markiplier, pewdiepie, popularmmos, (not a specific youtuber) way too many ytp's

i did watch a little bit of smosh but it wasn't my preference though one of my friends were really into them

oh yeah colin furze

Chat what the heck is the difference between PCIE 4.0 and PCIE 5.0 on a motherboard for the GPU?

[proud jackal]

data transfer speed

[heady plinth]

When pcie goes up a gen the bandwidth doubles. What's the practical difference? Not much or nothing most of the time. If you have a 5060 gen 5 might matter occasionally.

[proud jackal]

pcie 4.0 x16 = pcie 5 x8

doesnt matter much in gaming

[heady plinth]

If you're buying a new board I'd probably get a b650e, b850, or x870 anyway though unless there is a great deal on a b650.

[dusk knot]

bored

.....

[dusk knot]

its useles atm

no current consumer gpu can even max out 4.0

[fair onyx]

I have done a thing...

Anybody have any experience with either sets of glasses? I have a very specific need for them, so I am curious

This is for Japan

Scroll down

[dusk knot]

You live there right?

50 dollar..... increase

[chrome mirage]

I think my 7900XTX is currently using 8 lanes of pcie 4.0 and it's still working fine. Using the other lanes for my M.2 expansion card.

[dusk knot]

Good thing OLED prices are going down

😮‍💨

[chrome mirage]

Nevermind, the slot I'm using for my GPU only has 4 lanes. guess I have to get rid of my extra SSDs.

[worn night]

can i has some 🙏🏻

Not much difference in actual use case with the gpus we have rn but we don't know how beastly the 6090 might be

[ashen swan]

Should I get S25 FE or S24 Ultra

[sinful blade]

S25

[ashen swan]

what if I like the pen

[sinful blade]

You do not need it

[ashen swan]

why is the S25 better btw

[sinful blade]

Cheaper

The s24 has a better camera and raw power, but it’s more expensive

If it’s not cheaper, the s24 ultra is a no brainer

[proud jackal]

my 5090 is at 5.0 8x because of all the nvmes I have installed

[tranquil pebble]

bottleneck is probably less than 1% lol

since that is equal to 4.0 x16 bandwidth

[proud jackal]

Yep

[velvet summit]

It's honestly so nice to have though

You can make way smaller annotations with it

To do the same thing with just a finger requires you to zoom in as big as possible and then you'll still fat finger it sometimes

[junior pulsar]

Hi so u ordered a pc and it took the money off my card but it’s not showing that I ordered it on TikTok

Can someone help me

[topaz crown]

[junior pulsar]

Lmk plz

[velvet summit]

Ordered on tiktok 💀

[velvet summit]

Who did you order from?

[junior pulsar]

TikTok shop…

[ashen swan]

cooked

[junior pulsar]

It was from Newegg tho

[tranquil pebble]

The distance I can lift a skyscraper is the same amount of trust I have in TikTok

[velvet summit]

Maybe try contacting Newegg customer support

Not much we can help here since this is just the community

[junior pulsar]

Ahh ok no worries

[velvet summit]

I've never even gone on tiktok asides from getting sent stuff or searching for a video meme lol

[junior pulsar]

Bruh lol

I messed up

[elfin mural]

tiktok shop is a real thing

just watch out for fake shops

and newegg actually did have a tiktok shop

[sinful blade]

@digital thunder

[elfin mural]

it was the talk of the town back then iirc

with great p41 plus deals

[sinful blade]

@junior pulsar send this a message

[icy ore]

[soft bolt]

Hello everyone, is this official discord server of Newegg?

[elfin mural]

yes

but if you need official support for your orders, or you wish to inquire about something related to the newegg company, you can contact @digital thunder

[junior pulsar]

Thx guys I got my money back

[bitter ridge]

Great to see more coverage of 5500x3d there is barely any out there

Also this channel called iceberg tech testing cpus with pt on absolutely puts a smile on my face

[craggy shoal]

Maybe

idk tho

could be wrong tbh

nah this server is a scam

[soft bolt]

I mean I see admins, moderators are they real staff of Newegg?
