It'll be the 5090 with more Ai, which was the 4090 with more vram

That or it will never exist

[bitter ridge]

Lowkey tempted to buy this

[craggy shoal]

I'm joking

[craggy shoal]

lol I can just print a headphone stand

How does that thing have 7.1 surround sound?

[royal crow]

💀 💀 💀

[elfin mural]

it has a sound card inside

i spy a headphone jack

[craggy shoal]

How much is it? I can't find a price

[bitter ridge]

My local retailer is quoting $70 after converting local currency to usd

[craggy shoal]

Not terrible tbh

I mean at least given what it is, also given ROG tax

[elfin mural]

it's a stand that also happens to be a hub

[craggy shoal]

I would've backed out if it was stupid like $100 or more

[craggy shoal]

This exactly. I could print and sell a headphone stand without these qualities for $25

Actually, I should do that lol

[unreal trail]

[royal crow]

This was $2 if I pay my printer $10 hourly

I think it's less than $0.10 in filament

[pliant berry]

I have a c clamp headphone mount that sits on the side of my desk

3d printed

[ashen swan]

He's a funny guy

[craggy shoal]

You're either lying, your math is wrong, or you have an insanely fast printer that can handle detail like that

Bro has a printer from 2073

[royal crow]

It printed in like 15 minutes iirc

Theres's not much detail to it either

[craggy shoal]

What printer do you have?

[pliant berry]

could just have very little infill

[proud jackal]

@random osprey

[craggy shoal]

What am I even looking at?

[bitter ridge]

Can't wait to play with over 200fps

[craggy shoal]

With DLSS

I sleep

[proud jackal]

2003 windows vibes

Is what they were going for

[dusk knot]

Hello chat

[dusk knot]

That's insane

[elfin mural]

went from tanking the fps in ps5 pro in the very first gameplay trailer to this perf?

nice

[elfin mural]

tho dlss 4.5 implication could mean frame gen

200+ fps is a huge number to be pulling around

[opaque sedge]

Man this actually aint a bad price for a 1440p gpu but lack of support for a usable upscaler really sucks

Wtf

Why did this pic get attached

[opaque sedge]

This is what i wanted to attach

[bitter ridge]

Couldn't you just get a 5060ti 16gb,9060xt 16gb for this price

[opaque sedge]

9060xt maybe

But raster performance think the 7800xt is still ahead since its a 4070 competitor

[bitter ridge]

But you are ignoring that it has to render more pixels to look as good as the 9060xt running fsr 4

[sinful blade]

The 9060xt is also a 4070 competitor lmao

16GB*

[opaque sedge]

4070’s still a good chunk ahead

[elfin mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHUrseD_39U

this paints a different picture though

but in some games

4070 does come out on top

[bitter ridge]

Some sort of rt is always in games these days so it is not a wise idea to buy a gpu based off only raster performance

[elfin mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7ue7DuiM3o

it took the macbook neo to put microslop back in shape to an extent i guess

[bitter ridge]

I can't find benchmarks of the 7800xt running pragmata but you really want rt turned on in that game because it such a crucial part of it

[cedar compass]

Some games don't have disable rt option at high settings. It's built-in in shaders

[bitter ridge]

I thought you were writing a long essay since it took you so long to write that

[elfin mural]

some games even utilized pt by default with no way to disable it

[bitter ridge]

huh I am yet to encounter that

[cedar compass]

Yeah so picking gpu just based on raw performance is getting pointless

[elfin mural]

maybe im remembering wrong

[cedar compass]

Tho I hate upscaling and crap like that

[elfin mural]

idk tho but the trend towards rt being a core part of a game's graphical fidelity is definitely real

[cedar compass]

in stalker 2 also you can't turn RT off

You kinda can with lowering graphics

[bitter ridge]

For me cpu was always the limiting factor in stalker 2

[cedar compass]

That's why i hate Unreal engine. Cpu usage basically spiking at settlements lol

UE sux anyway

I didn't seen any good optimized game with UE5

[bitter ridge]

Avowed ?

Microsoft studios have UE5 figured out well

[cedar compass]

Didn't play it so idk

[elfin mural]

witcher 4 looks to be good too, but that game's not even out yet

[sinful blade]

Yeah, the benchmarks sore posted aren’t really showing the whole picture

The 9060xt has 4070 performance(90% of the time), with more vram

[bitter ridge]

Witcher 4 budget is like 500 million iirc

[cedar compass]

I wish battlefield studios had figured out how to use Frostbite as well

[elfin mural]

they showcased a crowd of 300 people being interactable

it's a pretty cool system that they have co-developed with epic

[cedar compass]

I just getting annoyed that half or a billion dollars games releases in trash condition lol . How can you waste that much money and come up with buggy and broke games lol

[bitter ridge]

Oh lol I am way off

[elfin mural]

big money

[random osprey]

time for another miku pad 🗿

[cedar compass]

GSC made stalker 2 with just around 50million$ . Yet games that wasted over 500m$ coming up with trash from AAA studios tho

[random osprey]

i like prints and different colors for my setup to break up the color scheme. used to be just all black for everything and now i just have my peripherals break up the color scheme

[elfin mural]

i personally don't get the anger towards rockstar prioritizing consoles for gta 6

cuz that's always been the case for the company to release a title for consoles first

then follow up with a pc release

[random osprey]

modders want to replace the main characters with CJ and Big Smoke as quickly as they can

[elfin mural]

what'd ya drive? a prius?

[velvet summit]

yes

[elfin mural]

nice

[velvet summit]

gen 3 (2015)

there's alot of talk online of it blowing up headgaskets on the gen 3 but considering how many i still see on the road, it's probably only slightly more common than it was on gen 2 and other toyotas

[elfin mural]

a fairly rare issue unless the engine wasn't maintained well i suppose

it's a toyota, some people assume it'll take any abuse

[velvet summit]

perhaps

well, toyota did redesign the headgasket for gen 4

also redesigned some other components

though it's the same engine block

[elfin mural]

i honestly don't really like the gen 4

it looks rather funky

[velvet summit]

i believe the 2026 prius is still using the same engine family

[elfin mural]

nope, they upgraded it to a 2 liter

[velvet summit]

oh

[elfin mural]

it's the gas corolla's engine

just modified for the hybrid system ofc

[velvet summit]

i'm not really a fan of the 2026 model specifically for its stock wheels which use a pretty rare tire size

[elfin mural]

the newest one does look good, but i have seen that you lose a good chunk of headroom due to the lowered roof line

[velvet summit]

now that i've seen alot of complaints about needing to special order tires because they didn't include a spare nor use a common enough size

honestly if i were to buy a new car in the future, it'll probably be back to the corolla lmao

[elfin mural]

corolla hybrid

[velvet summit]

yeah

[elfin mural]

it's definitely a car

[velvet summit]

i saw that the 2026 corolla hybrid uses an engine that came out in 2009

[elfin mural]

just a car

ah yeah, the corolla hybrid still uses the 1.8

[velvet summit]

toyota went back to a much simpler engine design which would have plenty of parts and tooling for stuff

[elfin mural]

the corolla is a better car at least in terms of availability of parts and tires choice

the prius departed from its earlier iterations

[velvet summit]

tbf the prius kinda needed to do that because it's long been gone from the title of being the hybrid vehicle in toyota's lineup

[proud jackal]

Do I sell the 5090FE

[velvet summit]

though it's kind of a shame that they didn't exactly go all in for fuel efficiency, but made it more sporty which doesnt really make sense for a car meant to get the best mpg

but kinda needed to get the mass market to even consider it ig

[elfin mural]

they made it cool rather than functional

which makes sense

at least from where toyota is coming from

the prius stopped being cool simply by being weird

it has to blend in now

electric is the future

hybrid is just normal now

i guess that's also why they also have a phev variant

that one transforms the thing to a quick car

40 grand prius lol

[dusk knot]

👀

[velvet summit]

though for the plug in type, you really do need to have a spot to charge it or else you'll get worse fuel economy due to extra batt weight

[bitter ridge]

Probably because of the console limitations I expect the zen 2 cpus to hold stuff like public density back and later on pc we can crank it up

On pc or the PS6,project helix

[elfin mural]

just like the ps3/xb360 release of gta v

[bitter ridge]

Cyberpunk 2077 with PSSR is pretty on PS5 pro but the crowd density is still similar to the base consoles

Since that is more of a cpu thing

[sinful blade]

You give it to me

[dusk knot]

Give to the poor

[bitter ridge]

Give it to me so that I can save up for 6090

These days it's best practice to buy at launch

[dusk knot]

Newegg should privately host this server

[lunar bobcat]

ive been dealing with my linux pc today

cant wait till my r5 2600 gets here because the older intel stuff is proving problematic for me on linux

[upper rain]

definitely shouldn't be, x86 hasn't changed all that much over the years. are you sure it is CPU related?

[lunar bobcat]

conisdering its LGA1150

[upper rain]

yeah definitely something weird with the app getting cluttered up. redownloaded and now it works again

[upper rain]

really only four meaningful architectures old

same instruction set barring some of the AVX stuff. but even many modern Intel CPUs have that fused off at factory

[lunar bobcat]

it works fine 90%of the time tho but certain things like audio drivers refusing to install

[upper rain]

that might be more board related tbh

but same difference since they're a pair

Is the gpu labeled Radeon AI Pro Radeon AI Pro AI ready?

[tranquil pebble]

no that's just XFX being weird on the naming of the Newegg entry

[nocturne flicker]

I dunno why, but this RX-97XPROAIY is giving me mixed signals

[tranquil pebble]

XFX Radeon AI Pro R9700 should be the full name with nothing else

[dusk knot]

[tranquil pebble]

I usually just call it R9700 for sanity though

[nocturne flicker]

I think it should be the Radeon AI Pro Radeon AI Pro R9700 RX-97XPROAIY (AI ready)

And XFX should be replaced with AIX

So I can make extra sure it can do AI

[dusk knot]

Ai. Ai. Ai. Ai.

[royal crow]

I feel like their naming is otherwise pretty good

Mercury is a) an objectively pretty element and b) the Roman name for the Greek god of speed

[nocturne flicker]

Oh and they should put in big capital letters AI on the front of the gpu below where they've put the AMD Radeon bit on the gpu

An old lady almost drove her car straight into my kiosk. Directly at me

[olive plaza]

you can't park there

[velvet summit]

at the same time, most users are just using it for personal use or to download stuff for edits
a fair bit of royalty free content hosted on youtube also doesn't have a download link
i don't believe any of the youtube downloaders are able to download movies off of youtube unless it was a pirated movie uploaded to youtube which already was copyright infringement

everyone i know who uses a youtube downloader uses it for downloading memes, or downloading videos/music for offline viewing

there's the occasional bad egg that uses it to repost content for profit, but for the most part 99% of the downloads are just for personal use

there's also people who archive a channel's videos in case it gets taken down

[olive plaza]

The thing about personal use is that, as a copyright exemption, it doesn't exist everywhere in the world

[velvet summit]

especially of journalists

[olive plaza]

As a prime example, Japan has no fair use clause for copyright

which is part of why Nintendo is so aggressive

Particularly for a website like YouTube which is clearly international, it's not hard to understand why things are a bit more strict with them

[velvet summit]

technically there's not really an exception but it also doesn't harm any copyright owners since it's already hosted on youtube, so the ad revenue typically would have already been taken from the person who decided the video was worthy enough to be downloaded

[olive plaza]

I'm not disagreeing with you, downloading for offline viewing is understandable

[velvet summit]

honestly the biggest threat to youtube for the downloaders is just making their premium features seem less unique

[olive plaza]

The bigger thing is... yeah it's a loss of profit

if they at least try to make it more difficult, then they're doing the due diligence their shareholders expect

[velvet summit]

why pay for premium to download when there's sites to do so for free? youtube is greatly incentivized to remove those

[nocturne flicker]

You can not bypass the encryption on stuff like movies, no. Even stuff you bought. It'll just be linked to your account until one day they quietly remove it without you knowing

[outer urchin]

imwhat should i name my hogwarts elgacy character

[opaque sedge]

[nocturne flicker]

Which is honestly kinda a pain because I've got the Night of the Doctor on Youtube and it is actually higher quality than the official Blu-Ray copy that was included on the Day of the Doctor disk and that annoys the heck out of me that I can't download it for my archives despite it being a free 'movie' when I got it

[opaque sedge]

I thought the hardware demands were going to be similar to fh5?

Are they higher?

[tranquil pebble]

[nocturne flicker]

And you bought a Steam Controller, glad we could clear the air

[rancid juniper]

Nice

What's your GPU again?

[opaque sedge]

Yeah but the steam controller is gonna be good tho

[tranquil pebble]

6900 XT but will be R9700 soon

[nocturne flicker]

So?

I don't want one

Therefore I shall mock you

[rancid juniper]

6900xt should be able to run it at 120fps 1440p maybe with rt off

[opaque sedge]

Damn yeah def more demanding than fh5

Hopefully graphics settings scale well

[rancid juniper]

Like it needs a 6700xt for 1440p 60+

That's not too bad

[nocturne flicker]

Though since I can't stand trackpads, in my use case it isn't good

[tranquil pebble]

R9700 will be a hell of a lot stronger in RT than 6900 XT

[opaque sedge]

Dont know why but on recent games most graphics settings dont scale much with performance at all

[rancid juniper]

Ofc lol

[worn wave]

minimum being 1080p60 and not 1080p30 is sweet

[opaque sedge]

Only thing that influences performance mostly is lighting quality lately

And dlss…

why must there always be problems whenever I want to relax

[rancid juniper]

Playground games don't play with optimization

[rancid juniper]

You're fine, I'll likely look into gamepass

[tranquil pebble]

R9700 is going to rip through P3R RT and be completely bored while doing so lol

[dusk knot]

Ah yes...gamepass

[random osprey]

xbox licensed controller that has HE sticks and is a normal xbox controller shell instead of one of those weird really long or really wide shells that are uncomfortable to hold

[rancid juniper]

What are the chances that fh6 is gonna be exclusive to the ultimate edition of gamepass

it's gonna take at least 10 minutes just to get it started I might as well just go to sleep

[tranquil pebble]

30 fps sucks

[opaque sedge]

Even 60 fps looks jarring to me

Main reason why i couldn’t get hooked to elden ring at the start was because i hopped on it after playing thru cyberpunk at a 100 or so fps

[tranquil pebble]

depends on the game for me... anything with a lot of movement I want 120 ideally

but like Persona doesnt really need high FPS, although it does look nice

Framegen does make 60 fps prettier ig when interpolated to 120 but man nothing beats native 120 frames

[icy ore]

Goated controller

[tranquil pebble]

native 240 is nuts. I was able to get that in SMT V

[worn wave]

240fps with no framegen, no upscaling, no TAA, on an oled monitor 😍

[tranquil pebble]

yep

exactly how SMT V runs on my PC

[opaque sedge]

Make it 230 so it wont screen tear (most 500 dolla oleds are 240hz)

[worn wave]

yeah I cap a few fps below

[tranquil pebble]

You know what is absolutely horrible? Screen tearing at 60 FPS

[unreal trail]

Sony regrets buying Bungie

[unreal trail]

screen tearing is terrible no matter what the framerate is

[worn wave]

the length of the tear is affected by fps though

[tranquil pebble]

well and monitor refresh rate... screen tearing is a lot worse on a 60 hz than a 240 hz

[unreal trail]

I'm just remembering Xbox360 and PS3 games with horrible screen tearing

[tranquil pebble]

At higher refresh rates, the tearing lasts for smaller amounts of time

In any case I almost always use vsync anyways

I hope to have a Steam controller put in my reservation at Steam lol to get a spot in line to buy one... On fence about it but leaning towards buying it

even if 100 bucks is pricey for a controller.

[iron finch]

controllers are now sadly like 80 bucks

20 more dollars for one with more features than any controller in its price range

• no stick drift

• valve warranty

no brainer

neat

[worn wave]

...an 8bitdo ultimate 2C is like $25

[iron finch]

not nearly the same featureset

and im talking about 1st party

[worn wave]

"controllers" implies neither of those

[iron finch]

mustve read the first word and stopped

[worn wave]

But yes playstation and Xbox controllers are super overpriced

Dualsense isn't quite as egregious bc of the triggers but Xbox controllers are embarrassing

[nocturne flicker]

Switch 2 pro controllers are 80 bucks

and still not using hall effect sticks

[dusk knot]

Lololol

[neat plover]

What’s so special about steam controller

[rancid juniper]

oh

[pliant berry]

Trackpads mostly. But it’s just a very versatile controller. With trackpads, gyro, grip sense, back paddles, it ends up being a very capable controller

[heady plinth]

That's when you make your own.

[neat plover]

wait so if a game have aim assist for controller and u use those trackpads

it’s like aim assist on laptop or something lel

[pliant berry]

Uhh i guess? But id probably say most people would opt to use the gyro for fine tune aiming and just disable aim assist

Well that’s what I typically do anyway

[worn wave]

Afaik the trackpads act as mouse input and you won't get AA

At least that's how the original steam controller was

[rancid juniper]

this is xbox mode? its just the xbox app but fullscreen LMAO

lol

[random osprey]

believe its suppose to be better than what it used to be to be more like xbox ui and offer better performance

[pliant berry]

The trackpads can be mouse or joystick input. It is better suited as mouse though

[rancid juniper]

it feels choppy on my end, like anytime you click something it slightly lags

[random osprey]

oof

[rancid juniper]

this is microsoft's attempt at going against steam's Big Picture Mode

[bitter ridge]

U can also customize the trackpads into radial menus and divide em into zones

[bitter ridge]

Don't see what is the issue if it boots directly into that

Using lower texture quality option on the 9070xt dk if they did that for clickbait or was just a mistake

[dusk knot]

Man....the UFO files released today are a disappointment.

They're playing with us by releasing the most unremarkable footage around when normal people with cameras can do better. I'm going to bed.

[worn wave]

Bro why is iOS taking like 25-30gb plus 10gb system data

[dusk knot]

More like you need to clear your photos and apps.

The iOS isn't the elephant in the room

[worn wave]

Idk 40gb seems like a lot for a mobile os? Maybe that's just me

[nocturne flicker]

Nah, it is a valid question

[worn wave]

I could be misremembering but in the past it's like 20gb OS plus 5gb system data

[dusk knot]

Nothing we can do about it. It's absurd

[worn wave]

I did update recently so maybe it's residual files/backups to revert the update

I'll check back in a week or something

Not a major update but yeah

@dusk knot

[dusk knot]

Right.....but we've been waiting for this one for far longer

[north crescent]

Why not just in win settings set both mic styles (standard audio and communications) to default to elgato, then have all programs use win default?

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe you have, but I'm not waiting for the 'we need something to distract people from how bad we are doing' files containing the same junk that gets conspiracy minded folks excited for a topic chosen from a list of random topics by being spun on a wheel

Next time it'll be JFK files or something

[dusk knot]

I get it. It is a distraction with the timing involved. But they're probably not going to release it without setting themselves on fire so to speak. Corruption is prominent on both topics.

Don't trust anyone to deliver.

[nocturne flicker]

The most corrupt thing is getting folks to believe the government is hiding aliens so you can use the idea of releasing files as a distraction measure

[dusk knot]

They are

You're just not looking deep into the topic.

It's called plausible deniability.

They're really good at it and the patterns have been showing for decades

[opaque sedge]

Good spot for the puck or nah?

[tranquil pebble]

I'm going to be pissed if this happens to my Pro R9700

[rancid juniper]

Even if this connector gets a rework later on I'm still not gonna use it

Seriously, 3x8pin is more than enough

[tranquil pebble]

I'm kinda forced to

[rancid juniper]

These companies gotta make gpus more energy efficient that's all

[tranquil pebble]

i might dial back the max TDP if the Pro allows

it uses the same drivers as a normal Radeon but the vbios is probably way different

[opaque sedge]

Bro

[rancid juniper]

I set my card to -15 on the power limit which is a 45 watt reduction from stock 303w > 258w

And I still retain stock performance thanks to UV and vram overclock

[opaque sedge]

U can use whole desktop with the thing

And it’s surprisingly intuitive

I just hopped onto a youtube video with the trackpads alone

[rancid juniper]

Use steam big picture for the real experience

[opaque sedge]

Also its got personality

[opaque sedge]

Ehhh some games dont open up properly when i launch from big picture

[rancid juniper]

Ok

[opaque sedge]

Effing windows has issues with application windows

Ironically

[nocturne flicker]

I'd be more interested in a cheaper slim version with no trackpads. But then that just kinda ruins the major reason for getting it I guess

[opaque sedge]

Its honestly not that big

[proud jackal]

Now game with it

[opaque sedge]

Side by side to an 8bitdo ultimate 2

[opaque sedge]

And here’s me holding it from the back, the extra body to accommodate the trackpacks surprisingly dont interfere with grip

[bitter ridge]

Same

No 5090 class performance gpu without it

[dusk knot]

How’s the weight

[opaque sedge]

Feels surprisingly light

[dusk knot]

Button feel?

[opaque sedge]

Compared to my g7pro 8k

[opaque sedge]

Face buttons feel goood, bumpers are nice tho they’re bit mushy triggers feel exactly like the steam deck’s but slimmer. Dpad is alright but a big improvement from the deck’s

I worried abt button given they’re all membrane coming from microswitch buttons but they’re pretty nice icl

[dusk knot]

How are you going to use the dpads?

[nocturne flicker]

Thing is that I don't like keeping any fingers gripping the back of the controller. I tend to hold them with my pinky, ring and sometimes middle finger forming a cup while the other two or three fingers work the actual controller

[tranquil pebble]

presumably its still only a small percentage of these that are melting otherwise there'd be a shitstorm going on still.

[dusk knot]

I have the connector…nothing yet

[opaque sedge]

I personally haven’t found a need for a good dpad yet since i haven’t played any side scroller games yet but for smth like hollow knight a good dpad is preferred

[rancid juniper]

its just a matter of time honestly, as long as you don't bother it or something maybe nothing will happen

[rancid juniper]

surprised if it is a small amount of cases, but still it should've never happened

[tranquil pebble]

yeah I don't disagree there but if it was like half or more nobody would be buying the cards

[bitter ridge]

I usually shrug it off since most cases are from random reddit dudes but this time it was a content creator

[tranquil pebble]

People don't like fire hazards in general

[dusk knot]

I believe that the main problem is that the connector is susceptible to not be plugged in all the way.

[rancid juniper]

dude, a user could get it all right and they'd still catch a flaming case

its not all user error here

[dusk knot]

It’s the most sensitive cable I’ve ever used

[rancid juniper]

the connector is flawed

[tranquil pebble]

manufacturing defect too probably

[rancid juniper]

yea

[dusk knot]

I bet it is and I hope nothing happens in the future

[tranquil pebble]

the margin of error on the connector is too slim for manufacturing to always get it right

is my bet

[rancid juniper]

all of that power/heat on such thin connectors is just a bad engineering idea

[dusk knot]

Your 9070xt doesn’t have it right

[rancid juniper]

nope

[tranquil pebble]

my 6090 XT is like 315 watts across two 8 pins

[dusk knot]

Hm

[tranquil pebble]

if the 12v-2x6 cant do 300 on it that's an issue

[rancid juniper]

nvidia could've done 3x8pin on all higher powered 50 series cards except the 5090

3x8pin alone brings 450w to the table

[bitter ridge]

This hantavirus thing hope we don't have to go into lockdown again

During corona the financial loses I had really hurt me mentally

[tranquil pebble]

pretty sure that disease is too deadly to spread like covid did

[ancient swift]

The 3 to 8 weeks without symptoms could help it spread

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[tranquil pebble]

true

[rancid juniper]

this is horrible

[dusk knot]

Oh boy

[ancient swift]

Ah 2 to 4 weeks. But could be longer

[rancid juniper]

it can be as long as 8 weeks some sources say

[dusk knot]

What countries have reports soo far?

[ancient swift]

The Americans on the boat are coming back to or are back in the US. Supposedly they wanna put them all in a base in Montana and isolate them but who knows.

[rancid juniper]

a couple

[ancient swift]

8 confirmed cases in Switzerland now.

[rancid juniper]

mind you, they said the same thing with corona where they claimed it wouldn't spread

and see how that turned out...

[dusk knot]

Form of transmission?

[rancid juniper]

Not trying to say it will happen but its best to be alert about it

[rancid juniper]

airborne, and bodily touch i think

btw its dubbed the "Andes virus"

[ancient swift]

Ye it's not the other one that spreads from rodents to people. This one can go from people to people

[nocturne flicker]

Hantavirus, even the Andes strain, does not spread much.

[dusk knot]

Sigh.. .

Time to buy more n95 masks

[rancid juniper]

the mortality rate is not even the one that spooks me, but for how long that virus stays dormant

so someone could infect another without knowing they're already sick

[dusk knot]

Hm

[nocturne flicker]

Even the Andes strain has a questionable ability to spread person to person because the only research done on it does not exclude the possibility of rodent exposure

[ancient swift]

Think of how many people you talk to in close proximity in 2 to 8 weeks 👀 and then how many people all of them talk to. And then so on. Contact tracing would be tough

[rancid juniper]

yep

[nocturne flicker]

There is no reason to worry about ANDV

[rancid juniper]

for now, i mean they do have existing data about this virus

[nocturne flicker]

A virus known to cause, at most, 100 cases of HPS a year isn't a concern

[rancid juniper]

so maybe there are readily available methods to quarantine

[nocturne flicker]

All they need to do is quarantine the ship, provide the medical assistance as needed over the course of the 8 or so weeks, wait for the ship to no longer be contaminated and they are good to go

There is no reinfection risk as immunity is for life

[dense locust]

I think people just want another covid

The adults yearn for their homes

[dusk knot]

I don’t

[nocturne flicker]

And once the human vector is gone, there is absolutely no risk anymore because it is caused by interaction with a very specific rodent from a very specific part of the world

[bitter ridge]

I would be in ruins as a restaurant owner if another lockdown happens

[dense locust]

Ok give me your 5090 if you don’t yearn for it

TD's 20bil is a note saying they could get the money for a deal not a guarantee, GameStop has practically no shares in Ebay and is actually just spending money on puts and options, GameStop can only issue 1 billion shares without shareholder approval of which they already have issued about half of, they'd need to issue about twice the total shares currently to do it meaning eBay shareholders would own about 2/3rds of GameStop so it isn't even GameStop acquiring eBay anymore, GameStop can't make a hostile move by putting the deal to shareholders because they've already passed deadlines

[random osprey]

sometimes it doesnt route correctly or despite having it set as default, games or windows will just set something else as default or use something else

[opaque sedge]

Deluxe version aint deluxing

[north crescent]

Sometimes win changes one or both defaults for audio in. But just changing that every so often I find is way easier than setting up all games to manually choose audio in

[dusk knot]

Just current events

[random osprey]

i just find it easier to set it to the specific mic for the game cause even if windows changes it in communications, the game will still use the actual mic i set it to

[random osprey]

this is how they get you to get the premium

deluxe aint good, so might as well go to premium for a little bit more for more perks

[velvet summit]

i find it easier to manually change the default communication mic if it ever changes than manually setting a mic on every game and software i use

it very rarely changes it by itself anyways, only when you plug in a device that also has a mic

[bitter ridge]

So I am plaaying on 15th instead of 19th like all the plebs /s

Predicting 93

[random osprey]

i technically have 3 mics now so its best to really specify

dont want funny webcam mic to randomly start playing

[velvet summit]

i mean, while i dont have 3 actual mics plugged into my pc, my windows does detect several interfaces which accept mics and typically doesn't randomly switch to any of those ever lmao

[rancid juniper]

definitely not spending $120

[velvet summit]

it only switches to a new device, and even if you unplug and replug (unless it was the default device) it won't change

[bitter ridge]

I don't think most people have good enough ears to tell the difference between your three mics

[velvet summit]

at least from my experience anyways

they definitely can

especially if it's like a webcam mic

you can definitely notice the quality drop even on lower bitrates because that's just how bad 90% of webcam mics are

[sinful blade]

I will never play forza after the shady ass review shit they did

[tranquil pebble]

the standard and deluxe are only there if you absolutely cant afford the premium... pretty obvious that is the one they want you to buy

[rancid juniper]

its just a scummy move they did

[tranquil pebble]

its a big company... almost everything they do is scummy

[rancid juniper]

I'd be more than fine to buy the deluxe edition if it features both expansion pass 1&2

[tranquil pebble]

There are very few big games that come along that I like enough to buy day 1 or preorder so its not a big deal to me

[rancid juniper]

yea

[tranquil pebble]

it does suck having to spend that much for it though

[rancid juniper]

I did get the premium for $86 on eneba.

[bitter ridge]

it is our Forza game for the next 5 years at least with a good chance we would have played it over 100 hours

[worthy meteor]

auto timeout for spam lmao

[rancid juniper]

that was my fault

[velvet summit]

86 is good as an anime, not as a price

[tranquil pebble]

also Forza games have a TON of licensed content... it is not cheap for Microsoft to make all those license deals.

[rancid juniper]

Season 1 was goated

i didn't watch season 2 tho

[velvet summit]

damn

[bitter ridge]

I have 119 hours in fh5 not as high as The crew motorfest because the multiplayer race isn't as good

[tranquil pebble]

I dont trust The Crew not to just make the game inaccessible after a few years ngl

[rancid juniper]

I don't trust ubisoft anymore for what they did to the crew

the crew motorfest could be $5 and i'd still wont get it

[bitter ridge]

The crew 2 already got an offline mode and motorfest will too when it's at the end of it's content lifespan

[rancid juniper]

i mean thats good and all but that's because of the backlash

[bitter ridge]

Yeah

[rancid juniper]

stuff was so bad they were made as the prime example for "Stop Killing Games" initiative

[bitter ridge]

Yeah although Original crew actually had a story but 2 and motorfest idk how fun they will be without online

[velvet summit]

wasnt the original crew that bad because ubisoft was straight up removing license keys from people's libraries

it was beyond just shutting down the servers with no offline patch

[nocturne flicker]

I can't believe Ubisoft stopped paying the Crew's wages

Wage theft smh

@sinful blade

Let’s say this simply, could there possibly be a connector aside from the fan connection inside the GPU that would disable the gpu from turning on..

[sinful blade]

Possible

<@&1344087154988421151>

[dusk knot]

Boredom

[sinful blade]

@upper wedge are there any obvious signs of issues

[upper wedge]

He said just 0 display, nothing broken (from what he looks at which could be the damn fans for all we know lmao)

So I assume the physical card is good n all but when you plug in and boot up, nothing

For all we know it could be a dead port, possibly power issue, maybe the card is for parts

It has been tampered with so who knows, somebody could of soldered off the vram or take the GPU itself

[sinful blade]

Are you buying it

[upper wedge]

This is the 2nd card

You see both seals, well it should only come with one but it could of been an RMA

[sinful blade]

That’s true

[upper wedge]

I have the same cooler diff model (7800xt) and it artifscted after arriving. It could be a bust card

Could be reflection but the like top of the 2nd image looks broken

[opaque sedge]

how do you fellow eggers

[upper wedge]

Above the pins

[upper wedge]

120$ for 2 supposedly broken 6800xts im dealing with here 💔

[opaque sedge]

currently chatting using my steam controller

[upper wedge]

The guy has 0 clue what he’s doing but sells over 100 pc related items on fbm

[opaque sedge]

ON DESKTOP

(Its a bit slow)

[sinful blade]

You could sell them for that a piece if broken though

[upper wedge]

I wonder how hot the gpu can get before shutting down

[upper wedge]

Sell on ebay $100 a piece tbh

Fees, shipping, 160$

My question is the guy who had 2 of the same GPUs, did something to both, then trade it as is to some clueless “enthusiast”

But what did he exactly do, the chip could be gone, vram or fuses snapped

[nocturne flicker]

Um actually it is Weggers

[heady plinth]

I doubt they'd strip the core or ram on a 6800. You see that on 4090s because people want 4090s and there is demand to put them on new pcbs for 48gb versions. He probably just opened them, poked around a bit to see if he could find something obvious to fix then gave up.

[upper wedge]

There could be 0 thermal paste too

But who does that

[nocturne flicker]

I'm stealing the thermal paste

None for you

[upper wedge]

:(

I would probably need new thermal paste since I’m nearly out

[royal crow]

Not if i eat it first

[upper wedge]

I have the smear paste thermal pads that I bought like.. 2 years ago from china on Ali express

[heady plinth]

That likely won't stop it from posting. It would just run terribly from overheating. It would also be something easy and obvious for whoever opened it to have dealt with.

[dusk knot]

LOOK at this guy.....

LMAO

[heady plinth]

Iirc Northwestrepair stopped accepting 6800 and 6900 because it was too common for the core to be dead and end up with a no fix.

[opaque sedge]

now its eggers

[dusk knot]

It's weggers

Don't question it

[sinful blade]

@upper wedge so you’re still giving one to me right

[upper wedge]

If I fix it

[sinful blade]

Hooray

wtf did that autocorrect to the wrong thing

[dusk knot]

I've done worst

[nocturne flicker]

True and fact based

[dusk knot]

It's common knowledge

Since the days of Mike

[royal crow]

What about poggers

[dusk knot]

That doesn't work with the server name

[royal crow]

Weggcord wen

[dusk knot]

You're a wegger, Harry

[nocturne flicker]

You are a hairy Wegger, Barry

You fool

[royal crow]

Is it that bad

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[dusk knot]

Ofc it is

Dumb dumb

[royal crow]

My British friends throw it around all the time

[nocturne flicker]

It is British slang for someone who does something NSFW with themselves

[royal crow]

I thought it was just slang for idiot or smth

[dusk knot]

Nah

[royal crow]

Ah that makes more sense

[dusk knot]

Well yes ...

[upper wedge]

[dusk knot]

But it's bad

[upper wedge]

I could literally watch this whole video and see what could be wrong

[nocturne flicker]

It is also used for that but the reason it is vulgar is because of what I said

[royal crow]

Tf

Gimme the file location

[proud jackal]

Chrome.exe

[unreal trail]

funny

[tranquil pebble]

actual bloat

[unreal trail]

google seems to think just because I used their search engine, I should use Chrome too

[tranquil pebble]

i prefer downloading the model myself

[sinful blade]

I’d suggest so
When are you getting them from the guy?

[upper wedge]

Possibly tomorrow or Monday.. issue is I’m at military drill rn and he isn’t available after 5pm

Well that’s for tomorrow, Monday I have no clue what his schedule looks like

[trail nest]

Chat how does my full AMD build look?

[sinful blade]

Rip

Im having the same issue with a lady trying to give me a MacBook and iMac

She’s literally only been available when I’m not

I have an a1398 EMC 2909 MacBook with no charger

And she’s unavailable till Monday

[sinful blade]

Needs more orange

[royal crow]

Why is the gpu so small

360mm or higher is the only acceptable size

[trail nest]

The hell you mean small? That's a $500 graphics card lol

[royal crow]

🤏

[worn night]

Dude that finished build looks AWESOME

Glad everything worked out

[trail nest]

Thanks!

[tranquil pebble]

my R9700 isn't going to be very big. Its just a double slot card

[royal crow]

Disgraceful
