Then do 3 more

[tranquil pebble]

Well yeah I meant at once

[pliant berry]

aha well I have 8gb of vram

[opaque sedge]

I kind of want to get one of those strix point laptops now ngl

[bitter ridge]

Battery life is lacking compared to panther lake

Or do you mean Strix Halo which is the leadership performance Apu

[tranquil pebble]

ok wtf, my system is reporting that my GPU is running in Gen 5, but AFAIK my mobo does not support Gen 5

[spark plume]

How Trustworthy is Driver Booster?

[pliant berry]

just sounds like unnecessary software that opens up another attack vector

[worn wave]

& probably causes just as much bloat as it "boosts"

[tranquil pebble]

probably also adware/spyware

[pliant berry]

if you want the best performance try have as little as possible for the game to run. OS, game launcher, game itself, gpu drivers from manufacturer and a web browser. try to stay away from any software that involves overlays (discord included) and background processes

[tranquil pebble]

I remember when I used to kill explorer.exe when running games because I was that RAM starved

and this was on Windows XP

[pliant berry]

lmao

[tranquil pebble]

windows doesnt care if you do that, and you can just reopen task manager and start it again

[pliant berry]

my os actually does have a game mode that disables all animations, transitions, wallpapers and such but I never use it really

[neat plover]

Should I get it

Both Vpanel

Return window closed

🥺

[spark plume]

Is there a Site that I can see what all needs to be Updated besides Win Update?

[dusk knot]

Look on the bright side, OLED prices are dropping. You'll have one eventually

[neat plover]

how low

[pliant berry]

you shouldn't really have to update anything that isn't hardware specific, like keyboard and mouse software for mapping, drivers for some network cards. most of such software would be bundled with the motherboard drivers and software which can be found on the manufacturers website

[dusk knot]

You're in the US?

[neat plover]

Yes..

[dusk knot]

$350 or so rn

[neat plover]

what hz and res

[dusk knot]

360hz

There's a sale rn

[neat plover]

link me

Pls

[dusk knot]

@opaque sedge you have that 360hz OLED link?

[spark plume]

Ok So I'm using Microsoft Surface Pro 6 an had to do a Factory Reset due to a File was bad an I'm trying to get all Updated so How can I tell the motherborad name is

[neat plover]

every 360hz oled is like $600

even amazon made min. price range for filter at 580 😭

i think i mightve found one

[sinful blade]

@worn night HEY

[grand kernel]

[grand kernel]

wtf did they do

[neat plover]

oh shyt

i spent like $3k this month on my pc parts

idk if i wanna doanother 1k

unless passively upgrade

[opaque sedge]

Lemme warn u 3440x1440p is fairly demanding

[neat plover]

so are you saying i need to get it

it is quite expensive

[opaque sedge]

Expect a 30-40% performance hit from 2560x1440p

[neat plover]

i get 800 fps on valorant, fortinite, and call of duty on my 1440p ultrawide

i should be fine

[pliant berry]

surfaces are pretty deeply integrated with windows. you probably don't have to do anything in that case

[spark plume]

Ok so I can Just ignore what Driver Booster is saying an take it off then

[sinful blade]

Can you get me a 5600x from Amazon while you’re at it

soo

amazon choice

seems pretty good

[grand kernel]

ok amazon reviews are pretty worthless

[neat plover]

i forgot this is gonna be my second monitor

i gotta focus on getting the ultrawide for my main

[grand kernel]

I saw a fan get bad reviews for not supporting the old 12v rgb standard

when it said in the title

(5V ARGB ONLY)

[neat plover]

should i get out of 3440x1440 and go with 2560x1440

[grand kernel]

and the photo also showed the 5V ARGB header

and the 12V RGB header crossed out

[neat plover]

Ok

[grand kernel]

multiple 1 star reviews for not supporting 12V RGB

like

are we serious

[neat plover]

yea so idk what a 12v rgb is bro

ima look it up

[grand kernel]

those reviews should just be reported as spam/malicious and removed

[neat plover]

orange

i found out its just aesthetic rgb

why we crying about it

[grand kernel]

its like ordering peking duck from mcdonalds and then spamming them with 1 star reviews for not having it

[neat plover]

if i get this

2x

i save $400

than getting the ultrawide

hmmmm

ima sell my shit off fb first

[grand kernel]

I'm not crying about anything

[tranquil pebble]

people do this kinda thing with games too...

[grand kernel]

I'm telling you user reviews are worthless

[neat plover]

i meant the reviews thats why i said we

[grand kernel]

people do this kinda thing with everything

people are stupid

[neat plover]

go with this

or go with 2x of this

[grand kernel]

why do you want such a fancy second monitor

are you gonna play 2 games at the same time

[neat plover]

i mean

i fu turn off light

would it not pis su off

one super superrior monitor

and u see a ass one on the side

[grand kernel]

idk my $20 second monitor does just fine

[neat plover]

Okay

[grand kernel]

how much visual fidelity do i need to display discord

it's a 1200x1920 vertical ips

good enough for me

[neat plover]

is fb a good place to sell monitors

[sinful blade]

People will lowball you a lot

Just stand your ground

[grand kernel]

i bought my second monitor from fb

[neat plover]

my second dmonitor is 3 years old an dmy main is 8 months old

theyre both about $200

[grand kernel]

but yeah people lowball like crazy

people offering me $40 for a $2000 item with a straight face

[neat plover]

wow

how do i change my name

i did this profile 4 years ago

[grand kernel]

💀

[pliant berry]

Yup

[rancid juniper]

did a run on mine for comparison

[tranquil pebble]

mine is running on proton though

[rancid juniper]

oh

[tranquil pebble]

and from what I gather, I can improve the performance with an undervolt

[rancid juniper]

then it should be the same perf if not more

[neat plover]

anyone wanna tell me if this is bad

chatgpt said its ok

[bitter ridge]

Apparently this is the elite 3

[tranquil pebble]

Still, in AI fp16 loads the R9700 was twice as fast as 6900 XT

[bitter ridge]

The more interesting part

[spark plume]

Ok my Next Question is How Can I tell the Name of my Memory in my Surface it only say's 1.7 GB Free (7.9 GB Total) it dosen't show me the Name

[pliant berry]

most of the surface laptops have their memory soldered on iirc

[grand kernel]

man, i just realized i never actually set wallpaper engine and discord to run on my igpu

i wonder why 9070xt is considered power saving

anyways now my gpu idles at 10w instead of 45w

neat

[spark plume]

Yes I know I can't Upgrade it at all but How can I get the Name of it Im doing My Hardware on my Twitch Page so People knows what I got

[grand kernel]

why are you worried about the name of your memory

take it apart and look at what's printed on the dram packages

[bitter ridge]

People won't be interested to know that in depth

[pliant berry]

it's just going to be a package name from a manufacturer like micron, samsung or the like nothing fancy like gskill trident etc etc. it's just a number written on the package

[bitter ridge]

Most lose interest after only knowing the cpu and gpu sku

[grand kernel]

lol

the numbers mason what do they mean

[worthy meteor]

I can read the Samsung from here smh

[pliant berry]

yeah that is a very high quality image

@tranquil pebble are you the one that kidnapped Filian

[tranquil pebble]

who?

[pliant berry]

exactly

[spark plume]

Ok so If I understand correctly There is No Real Name on it like GSkill 8GB

So whit what i have found on the Internet it has a LPDDR3 SDRAM 8GB

[pliant berry]

i don't remember who it was here that follows some of the vtuber space

[grand kernel]

I'm surprised anything is readable I cropped it out of a much larger picture

I showed you my unclothed laptop please respond

[worthy meteor]

Neither are the name for the memory module, it's just a brand name or just the type, it doesn't really matter either way. It means nothing for your hardware especially on a laptop that locks it.

[pliant berry]

yeah the second sounds reasonable. than again if you are listing hardware "Surface 6 Pro" would probably suffice. maybe just including ram skew (8gb, 16gb, etc)

[grand kernel]

smh just desolder the ram and change it to whatever you want

[pliant berry]

ye don't people do that with the macs now?

[worthy meteor]

Honestly I think it's possible that it's unlabeled lol

[neat plover]

there’s no way u gotta be 18 to use marketplace

[grand kernel]

my surface has 1gb lpddr3, 4gb lpddr5x, 4gb gddr7, and dual socket i7-8809G

get on my level

[spark plume]

Easyer said then Done not all people know how to do that an Wont take the risk to mess it up.

[pliant berry]

well it involves the sale of items and that itself is usually restricted to 18+

Thanks for sticking up for me bro

[sinful blade]

[bitter ridge]

This rating is given based on peak brightness iirc so mini LEDs would have an edge but for the black levels part of HDR they will absolutely fall apart compared to OLEDs

[sinful blade]

Fair

[tranquil pebble]

OLED darks are unbeatable

[neat plover]

I’m getting oled once I sell

[worthy meteor]

True black 400 is also a separate certification that guarantees a black level below a certain brightness, while HDR 400 barely has a requirement

[velvet summit]

pretty much all oleds meet displayhdr true black 400 though

the only ones that don't are the ones that didn't get the certification

well that wording didn't make sense

the only ones that don't didn't do the certification*

[neat plover]

val fps broo

[bitter ridge]

This is not in game

[velvet summit]

show me cyberpunk 2077 on max settings no frame gen with 1000fps then i'll be impressed

[grand kernel]

easy

2x1 resolution

[velvet summit]

would the game actually launch at such a resolution

[grand kernel]

idk good luck loading your save though

[velvet summit]

lmao

assuming you can go through menu options with the kb or controller, that could be possible if you memorize the combo

[plucky stratus]

Anyone have Forza through game pass that bought the upgrade? Mine is still saying the game is releasing the 19th

[royal crow]

Yo what

W

[worn night]

Yup

[heady plinth]

Wouldn't work anyway, as you turn down the resolution eventually you just run into a cpu limit instead.

[bitter ridge]

Need to use a cpu 20 years from now

Might actually need to be more years since 1000fps is a tough task

But that far in the future there would also be questions of backwards compatibility

or if you just want a big oled or a small oled

Harvard didn't make the list of the most expensive college/unis for reference

Lmao

[royal crow]

This is partially why I'm not going to college

[velvet summit]

honestly college is pretty useless outside of very specifical career paths

most subjects you could self study and do better than a college course

sure, the reason you would go to college or uni would be for connections that they have for easier job searching

but like.... idk how much that helps nowadays especially with the statistics of people not being able to find a job (in the field of their major) after graduating increasing

[royal crow]

Meanwhile I'm gonna(hopefully) have a perfectly fine time finding a way to get my welding certification and getting a position there

[velvet summit]

trades are definitely more in demand

welding i'm not sure how high of a demand it is but i know some specific welding jobs with higher risk are in fairly high demand

such as underwater welders

[royal crow]

QMB Technologies sure is a nice idea but I don't think it's a possibility

[royal crow]

Pays so well but I would have to move near the ocean and learn scuba diving

[velvet summit]

also has one of the highest death rates even in countries with higher safety standards

though still safer than like a steel mill or whatever (probably idk the exact statistics)

[royal crow]

Welding just slowly eats away at your lungs unless you use a filter

[velvet summit]

it IS part of your osha mandated ppe

you're supposed to wear both a respirator and welding hood (or a welding hood that has an air filter)

that doesn't mean everyone wears all the ppe that they should out of laziness

but they should

[royal crow]

Ye

[velvet summit]

well, i believe there are like exceptions to this, such as if the work area has adequate ventilation to prevent exposure of fumes above the legal limit

though lets be real

[velvet summit]

honestly idk how some people are like
"allergic" to face masks of any kind

like they cant wear a mask for more than 10 seconds ong

[tranquil pebble]

this is the kinda thing that happens when attorneys use AI

[sour falcon]

People are allergic to everything

People with Asthma i can see as a viable argument

[sour falcon]

How about… they lose their licenses

[tranquil pebble]

they should fr

[velvet summit]

for those people, there are forced air respirators that make breathing easy

[sour falcon]

I know, a shocking concept to the American judicial system for some reason

[velvet summit]

i assume it's just 55k per lawyer since it's 2 of them

practically just a slap on the wrist

they've just lost maybe half a years wage

[tranquil pebble]

probably a first offense

[velvet summit]

if not less

[sour falcon]

I get more of a punishment at work if i screw up lmfao

they still get paid lol

[tranquil pebble]

A US prosecuter lost their job over using AI too

[sour falcon]

excellent news

[tranquil pebble]

in an ideal world, these cases would all result in that

[sour falcon]

yes, sadly we’re far from that

i genuinely do not get the appeal in AI

[tranquil pebble]

it has uses... but processing legal documents is NOT one of them

[sour falcon]

half the fun of doing something is doing it on your own, why do it in the first place if you’re just gonna take an extreme short cut?

[tranquil pebble]

hallucinations in legal documents... yeah

[sour falcon]

i can possibly see summarizations as help but like the people cheating in college… yikes

like me, I HAVE to know what i’m doing to properly diagnose vehicles and fix them accordingly, using AI to “learn” helps me in no way at all

[tranquil pebble]

AI can help me fetch information, but it better cite its sources so I can evaluate it myself

Never ever use the output of AI directy

[sour falcon]

I avoid it as much as possible

The only ai interaction i have is the google summary because it’s baked into the engine

Or ai overview, whatever it’s called

[tranquil pebble]

it helps me find links, beyond that no

or I use it for amusement

[sour falcon]

It’s stupid, and honestly i feel bad for the people with no connections in life and turn to ai

[tranquil pebble]

about 1 hour, 10 minutes until I can play FH6

[sour falcon]

DUDE YOU TOO?

[tranquil pebble]

yes

[sour falcon]

oh wait you’re in my timezone

east coast baby

[tranquil pebble]

yep

[sour falcon]

I’m contemplating whether i use my sim rig or a controller

[tranquil pebble]

east coast is one of the most densely populated areas in the US

for a lot of reasons

[velvet summit]

ai is fairly useful for troubleshooting ngl

[sour falcon]

Yes, and no

[tranquil pebble]

it tends to be useful for asking it for linux commands too

[velvet summit]

it works pretty well for troubleshooting specifically
though not really that good at making scripts that are easily readable by humans

[nocturne flicker]

Steel mills in Western countries are actually relatively safe now

[neat plover]

who’s still crying about oled prices

[sour falcon]

Drives me insane when customers do their own “research” and it’s just feeding info into an ai and it spits out possible issues with a vehicle that aren’t related at all

[nocturne flicker]

The biggest danger is being exposed to toxic chemicals and dust

[sinful blade]

Idc
Gimme

[velvet summit]

ok that isnt proper troubleshooting

[sour falcon]

Fair

[velvet summit]

though i've never tried ai on vehicle issues

[nocturne flicker]

But actual dangers related to the equipment and the steel making has heavily declined largely due to automation

[sour falcon]

i work on cars so i don’t have to deal with people and i get cars with dumb owners

[velvet summit]

but troubleshooting code and such with ai works pretty well

[velvet summit]

that makes sense

[sour falcon]

Like a person complaining about their apple CarPlay not working.. it took me TEN SECONDS. Plug my phone in, apple car play work. Move the cord to the right? Apple CarPlay disconnects. DUDE COME ON

[velvet summit]

honestly the problem with using ai specifically for vehicle issues is that the ai doesn't get enough context

[sour falcon]

Genuinely no critical thinking skills

[nocturne flicker]

They still have problems though. Sometimes something blows up. But since there are way fewer people working those jobs because of automation, fewer people get hurt or die

[velvet summit]

with code, you can give the ai the full context so that it could figure out a solution
but going to an ai and saying some shit like "car makes weird noise" is so ambiguous lmao

[sour falcon]

Real

[tranquil pebble]

safety standards in industy in general is much better than it was in past decades though

[nocturne flicker]

Car make weird noise
The noise: Vroom vroom

Absolutely

[sour falcon]

It’s funny how much people worry yet i drive a death trap

[tranquil pebble]

Some managers may hate OSHA but they exist for a damn good reason

[velvet summit]

obviously it's the power windows going bad frfr

[sour falcon]

Like yeah i’m aware of every issue my car has

[sour falcon]

My regulator snapped once lol

that was a fun drive home in winter

[velvet summit]

it's not a death trap if you fix just the things that would cause it to be a death trap

[sour falcon]

Costs money

it’s not really death trap, it IS questionable though

[velvet summit]

lmao we have a rusty corolla that is for the most part still structually sound but sounds like death (the exhaust is rusted through and makes loud rattling sounds and does not get muffled)

though it's not as loud as straight pipe

[sour falcon]

My avalon has a very bad exhaust leak because the midpipe is warped at the header connection lol

Sounds like a lawnmower

[velvet summit]

the muffler did rust off like a year ago and we got it welded back by pure wizardry from the technician so that it wasnt as loud as if it was a straight pipe

[sour falcon]

also my biggest issue with fixing the avalon is mainly conflicting feelings

1. It’s my first car, so it’s important to me
   2…. It was $800 so is it really worth it

[velvet summit]

probably not worth fixing but working well enough to not be scrapped

[sour falcon]

Basically

[velvet summit]

that's also basically the state of the 2005 corolla we have

engine still probably in great condition though
doesn't burn oil

[sour falcon]

The biggest upside is there is NO aftermarket support for my car so my wallet is safe

[velvet summit]

body aint doing so well though

[sour falcon]

I have rust in the rear wheel well, very typical, aside from that it’s MINT for 257k miles

[velvet summit]

weight reductions

damn

[sour falcon]

Rides like a boat too

[rancid juniper]

@tranquil pebble @deep parcel @craggy shoal just less than an hr away

[velvet summit]

the corolla we have rides like

[rancid juniper]

😩

[velvet summit]

not a boat

[sour falcon]

I’m chopped liver

[velvet summit]

it has strangely stiff suspension for a ce model

[sour falcon]

My suspension is very floaty

[velvet summit]

idk if this was typical but it's definitely not modded

[tranquil pebble]

yep

[rancid juniper]

gonna make use of that new gpu for the game?

👀

[tranquil pebble]

yes

[rancid juniper]

nice

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-breaking-bad-better-call-saul-gun-heisenberg-gif-27155752

[tranquil pebble]

it absolutely wrecks the 6900 XT in upscaling support, and RT

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/kingpin-kingpin-clicking-pen-clicking-pen-spider-verse-into-the-spider-verse-gif-5180708998338482135

[tranquil pebble]

unsurprisingly

[rancid juniper]

funny that RDNA 2 will have said upscaling support early next year

[tranquil pebble]

it wont be as good without the matrix cores

[rancid juniper]

true but hey more options!

atleast it gives rdna 2 extra value

[tranquil pebble]

yeah

rdna 3 getting it means that things like ROG Ally probably get it too

[rancid juniper]

😳

could give people more of a reason to try handhelds

watch, the sales numbers about to go up once this drops

[tranquil pebble]

it wont overcome the fact that they are super overpriced now

[velvet summit]

i keep forgetting that the steam deck is out of stock in most locations

though the steam deck 2 is coming out in like 2 years or whatever

(according to a leak but you know how reliable leaks are)

[unreal trail]

dudes trying to make everyone leave California

[royal crow]

[nocturne flicker]

You both realize most states already tax software sales right?

[misty sparrow]

92 metacritic score, looks good

I tried The Crew Motorfest for free and the intro felt nearly 1 for 1 as the Forza Horizon 5 intro

It feels like an off brand version TBH

But I haven’t played much of Forza Horizon 5, that was years ago and only played for a few hours at best

[olive plaza]

I'm looking for validation, but you guys can tell me if I'm crazy

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[olive plaza]

Bought 4x8GB DDR4 off Mercari, seller advertised saying "Pretty sure it's 3600MHz but not 100% certain". Price was good, $100 for 32GB, so I bought it. It showed up today and it's 2933

I contacted the seller and she says she checked her order history and it should be 3000 according to that

[rancid juniper]

its a fine game but just shallow compared to the previous entries

as for the crew motorfest, they really tried to be like horizon fr

[olive plaza]

I said to her, I haven't left you a review yet at this point. If you're willing to do something to make up for how much slower this is than you said, I'm all ears

So far I'm left on read

$100 is an OK price but it's not insane

I'm thinking if I don't get a response tomorrow then I contact Mercari, see if they'll do something

[nocturne flicker]

So you could say that one needed to broaden its horizon

[rancid juniper]

I'll let this one slide

[olive plaza]

You know what series I want to see make a comeback is Project Gotham Racing

[nocturne flicker]

So would you say a negative response is on the horizon?

[rancid juniper]

no no, the joke is fine

its wild that after the reception of 5 they decided to use the failsafe that quick

[tranquil pebble]

FH6 early access for EST <t:1778817660:R>

[rancid juniper]

ill play for 1hr then sleep

[nocturne flicker]

If a safe is unable to prevent itself from being lockpicked does that mean it is a failed safe

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tuss-jokes-gotcha-burn-ouch-gif-5645546

[opaque sedge]

How about you let **** **** slide down yo-

Damn cant type stars a bunch of times

[rancid juniper]

alright bruh

[dusk knot]

hhhmmmmm

hhmmm

another boring day done

[rancid juniper]

lets goo it launched

[grand kernel]

get a partial refund and then oc it to 3600

[olive plaza]

Seller is being belligerent

[grand kernel]

oof

[olive plaza]

So I filed a complaint with a refund request through Mercari

Worst case scenario I have some trash tier ram

[sinful blade]

worst case scenario is you send me the garbage ram so I can have 32gb

[ashen swan]

well um

that's something

[elfin mural]

kernel panic moment

[ashen swan]

how do i fix it XD

[elfin mural]

no idea man

find out what caused it, ask around

[bitter ridge]

I got a One UI 8.5 update and the animations feel more jumpy

Loving it

[misty sparrow]

It’s funny how 4, 5, and 6 all got the same metacritic score

[elfin mural]

yknow you can get 80 fps on a 1650 on 1080p native in fh6 on ultra low

it will look ugly, but it's something

50-60 fps on low

[bitter ridge]

It feels like a different enough game ,especially the grand race is soo much better than the Forza multiplayer race

[elfin mural]

30 fps ultra but ofc with a few settings dialed all the way down to save vram consumption

at that point it's a custom preset

[bitter ridge]

I noticed amd post say 7000 series gpus

Have a slight doubt steam machine and Xbox ally x might be excluded

[elfin mural]

lenovo is releasing a legion 7 with strix halo soon

will use the 392+

just like the tuf a14

up to 64gb of ram

claimed 48gb max allocation on max ram

[bitter ridge]

Is this a thin and light

I know Asus doesn't even try to make the Tuf series thin and light

[elfin mural]

ya

7 is the thin legion

doesn't look as thin as zephyrus tho

[bitter ridge]

Oh god Strix Halo is actually so compelling now because of far 4

[elfin mural]

does fh6 even have dlss frame gen

ah it does

[sinful blade]

Time for it to be sold on eBay

[bitter ridge]

Ig it makes sense why ps5 pro had good upscaler before the other things

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

grand race is like the only thing interesting for motorfest

imma go to sleep, fun game

[bitter ridge]

Hope we can someday do 100 player race

[elfin mural]

directive 8020 seems like a decent cosmic horror game

im having a good time watching someone play it with commentary

[bitter ridge]

This moment was intense

[worn night]

and yes that is a fully working great condition msi meg Z790 ace im selling 🔥🔥

[bitter ridge]

[elfin mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLtGRhflR3o

60+ fps on extreme no rt dlaa 1080p

damn

the 12 gigs vram is saving the 3060 lmao

dips into the 50s in forest areas, but that is a given since there are a ton of trees

[worn night]

someone told me it looks like linus torvalds desk

[elfin mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krlram6cTJE

looks better but delivers less perf than fsr 3.1

at least in the case of the int8 version of fsr 4

fp8 version runs better, but only supported on rdna 4

the tradeoff is worth it though

[bitter ridge]

That should be better with the final official release

[grand kernel]

I mean even fsr 4 performance looks better than fsr 3.1 quality

so it's already winning

[elfin mural]

ya

[worn night]

whys 3 better than 4

i thought that bigger number meant like

[elfin mural]

this makes rdna 2 and up cards relevant again in terms of upscaling

[worn night]

better stuff

[elfin mural]

well

you have to trade performance for quality

[worn night]

i kid

[elfin mural]

especially if it's on older hardware that doesn't have enough horsepower to push

ah, it's hard to tell for me lol

[grand kernel]

I tried fsr 3.1 quality in cyberpunk

it was horrible

grabbed optiscaler immediately

[worn night]

they gotta make it more compatible

7900xtx should be more than strong enough

[elfin mural]

it's all they can do i would think

int8 is the slower version compared to fp8

and due to weaker ai performance

the 7900xtx loses some perf compared to fsr 3

[worn night]

that makes sense

[elfin mural]

it's a similar story to dlss 4.5 losing perf on 40 series cards

but the visuals improvements are well worth it

[worn night]

dlss 5 on the rtx 6090

dude if they make a 60 series

we'll have the 6070 and 6090

both memes as gpus once again

[elfin mural]

we might get a super 50 series first

[worn night]

if they make a 5070 ti super-

[bitter ridge]

I think it is too late for a refresh

Better to just move onto next gen

[elfin mural]

i dunno though, i just have grown cynical of how brands treat gaming as a whole

it's an afterthought now

[worn night]

intel couldve saved us with C580

😔

[bitter ridge]

Next gen we should be on a new node so should be decent efficiency and performance improvements

[elfin mural]

provided nvidia actually gives us extra cuda

[grand kernel]

who needs new hardware my gaming backlog is long enough to last this lifetime

[elfin mural]

my next laptop should have 12gb of vram at least

doubling from 6 gigs that i currently have

[bitter ridge]

If project helix is similar or better than a 4080,5080 PC for under $1000 it could really shake things up

[grand kernel]

if it's better than a 5080 pc they are pricing it at $4000

don't kid yourself

[elfin mural]

https://wccftech.com/team-group-launches-elite-plus-and-elite-ddr5-8000/

damn, 8000 at just 1.1v

what in ai generated promotion picture is this tho?

[bitter ridge]

New hardware to play older games better

Ac unity is one of those games which still can bring new hardware to it's knees

[lethal jasper]

I wanna get a 14 inch monitor off ali to use as a side monitor. Any suggestions? Preferably with vesa

[elfin mural]

there are no vesa mountable portable monitors

at least from what i can recall

[ancient swift]

Weirdos whining about an event where you get to race a mech in FH6

[ancient swift]

Xbox Ally X is rdna 3.5 so I'd be surprised if it was excluded.

Steam machine will for sure have it. Valve was pushing them for it for a bit

[bitter ridge]

I saw discourse about the three body types

[bitter ridge]

Finally all work done time to get some coffee and play Forza

Motion blur is in accessibility instead of graphics section

Oh they put the same setting in two place

[elfin mural]

wth that's cool as hell man

i loved these wacky events playing fh4

racing a train

racing a jet

that's how horizon have always been too

they really just wanna hate to hate

it appears that rtgi is very noisy in fh6

no matter what setting

turn 10 need to fix this

[lethal jasper]

I want to get some portable screen to put on the side of my main screen

23 inch is too big

Can i send ali links here?

[bitter ridge]

The truck is soo much cooler than the two tiny japanese cars they made us choose

[lethal jasper]

I could use an old android tablet no?

[bitter ridge]

I need to do some grinding to buy my irl porsche unlike fh5 which was way more giving

[proud jackal]

Ugly

[craggy shoal]

yo same. Which Porsche do you have?

[bitter ridge]

it's aa boring cayenne

[craggy shoal]

Figured, given the truck in your screenshot 💀

Bro gets a racing game based in Japan and prefers a truck over the two JDM options at the start

[lethal jasper]

Im sure grandpa wouldnt mind

[craggy shoal]

bruh

Portable monitor?

[lethal jasper]

ye

[lethal jasper]

He would be happier seeig me use part of his laptop rather than not using it at all tbh

Holy shiet its almost perfect

What else do i need

[craggy shoal]

It can't ever be smooth anymore, can it?

[bitter ridge]

Yeah I find anything Japaan related a bit overrated

More excited for fh7 if it is based in Dubai

[lethal jasper]

Tbh Dubai isnt any better on the overrated spectrum

[craggy shoal]

City and desert combo

That won't go very well lol

We got that with FH5 plus a few more biomes and people didn't care for it

[lethal jasper]

It does when you build enough city

[craggy shoal]

I mean it would be cool tbf

I'd probably finish it within a month (yeah. A month. I have real life to take care of too) and then put the game down until next release

[lethal jasper]

How would i make a case for the monitor

[craggy shoal]

3D print

[lethal jasper]

I bought a plastic mesh i dont use

Maybe i can use that

Along with 3d printing

[craggy shoal]

Do you have a 3D printer?

[lethal jasper]

I cant find a single monitor arm mount without the pole part on ali bruh maybe i should just print that too

[lethal jasper]

My father’s poorly maintained ender 3 SE (it would be better maintained if it was mine)

[craggy shoal]

It'll be a very light monitor. Just 3D print the whole thing

[lethal jasper]

Does the board need any active cooling or is the small mesh area fine

[craggy shoal]

How do you know whether I tried this project in the past? 👀

No, you don't need active cooling on the board

[lethal jasper]

I dont

[craggy shoal]

lol

[lethal jasper]

But you’re chatting as if you have

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I've tried it in the past

But I didn't get past the 3D printing part

It was also a crap monitor that I didn't care for. I recently threw out the project lol

[lethal jasper]

Eh i can always just print an enclosure for the pcb and wrap the rest in mesh

Or the humble black electrical tap

E

[craggy shoal]

Nah just print it. You're smart enough to take the monitor out of the laptop lol

[bitter ridge]

Asus nostalgia baiting people and it might just work

[craggy shoal]

I've measured screw holes with just a ruler lol

[craggy shoal]

This looks sick wow

[lethal jasper]

I got a 92 in math finals 😎

Surely i wont screw this

I can always just take a fire tablet from my father

And use usbc but that wont be any fun

[elfin mural]

that looks amazing

ngl, it got me right at the first sight lmao

[craggy shoal]

I would say that looks tuf but it actually looks rog

(that's the stupidest joke I could've thought of)

[elfin mural]

old rog yeah

[bitter ridge]

Old left right new

[lethal jasper]

I could also just use the actual laptop back but thats boring right

[elfin mural]

it looks like a faithful recreation

that's what i like

hitting nostalgic buyers while keeping to modern stuff

[lethal jasper]

Uh what can I salvage from this laptop anyways

should i bother taking the wifi card

[velvet summit]

I had a nightmare that my VM corrupted before I could make a backup

[bitter ridge]

Dressed up for the occasion

[lethal jasper]

Samsung yelling at me to not touch the transparent tape as i add more transparent tape

[opaque sedge]

[ashen swan]

Did they make this game just to promote the 5090 💀

[opaque sedge]

I mean… in that case every other game is a 5090 showcase

[elfin mural]

without rt it becomes easy to run lol

and rt in fh6 is honestly bad, at least for rtgi

only reflections are worth enabling

rtgi is way too noisy rn

the game is not hard to run

[bitter ridge]

Project helix should be able to use the full suite

[opaque sedge]

No ray reconstruction?

[elfin mural]

yeah

none of that

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/peanut-burnt-peanut-reaction-peanut-react-peanut-sheep-gif-3444210561035028514

[elfin mural]

hence rtgi is not worth enabling

only enable reflections

[opaque sedge]

Why tf wont studios implement ray reconstruction

Barely any games have it

[elfin mural]

and disabling rtgi gives you a ton of extra perf too

so like, worth it to keep it off

[ancient swift]

Yeah, kinda funny that black ops 7 has Ray reconstruction and Ray regeneration but many others don't.

[opaque sedge]

Wait doesn’t the dlss upscaler have a sort of denoiser too? Did the testing videos so far just showcase the game with native taa or dlaa?

[elfin mural]

the denoiser doesn't help with ray tracing lol

it only takes care of upscaling

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/traewockhardt-sad-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-16591014784735052511

Whats the effing point of implementing ray tracing without ray reconstruction bruh

[elfin mural]

i'm not mad, just honestly confused

cuz extreme non-rt already looks amazing as is

the game doesn't really need rt other than reflections

[opaque sedge]

Even ray traced reflections look bad without ray reconstruction

[elfin mural]

nah, the reflections look fine

[opaque sedge]

Well my only point of reference for that is cyberpunk tho

[elfin mural]

for some reason it's rtgi that has issues here

rt reflections? perfectly clear

[opaque sedge]

Any chance it could be fixed with a patch

[elfin mural]

maybe

the game just released

so give it some time

[rancid juniper]

RTGI is also the most taxing it seems

Had to make me run the game at fsr 4 quality

[lethal jasper]

[rancid juniper]

you should get the game

[craggy shoal]

I’ve already played about an hour of it lol

[rancid juniper]

on discount rn

[opaque sedge]

120 bucks for the full edition tho

[opaque sedge]

Not on steam i assume

[rancid juniper]

what do u think?

[craggy shoal]

I love it so far

But it's only been an hour. I’ve only done the first rally race

[rancid juniper]

i bought mines for 92.99 for premium, its xbox app yes but tbh its worth it

[opaque sedge]

Ahhhh i wanna experience the game with the steam controller’s haptics

[lethal jasper]

ok

[rancid juniper]

putting difficulty to expert in the beginning wasn't the best decision for me lol

[lethal jasper]

so

i want to make the back have a mash

mesh

[craggy shoal]

mish

[rancid juniper]

mosh

[bitter ridge]

You should be able to with the xbox unless steam did something anti consumer like

[craggy shoal]

HURRY UP

[lethal jasper]

but instead of it being a pain in the ass ill just glue a mesh on to the back of the screen panel and easy peasy

surely that will be a good idea

im taking notes from HP so im not planning on the monitor being repairable

[elfin mural]

oof

[lethal jasper]

or idk whoever makes the least repairable computers

[elfin mural]

rtgi really tanked that fps

[rancid juniper]

mhmm, imma do another run with it off

not bad

(last pic: RT reflections on, RT lighting off)

probably the sweet spot

[elfin mural]

hot damn

a lot of extra fps without graphical issues

the 4 stutters are probably a cpu limitation

but that's a good result

68 to 97 is 43% extra perf

[rancid juniper]

😳

[craggy shoal]

By turning RTGI off?

[elfin mural]

ya

[craggy shoal]

(I’ve barely touched the graphics settings lol)

[elfin mural]

rtgi is heavy and gives you visual artifacts

especially prominent in foliage

[rancid juniper]

perf is sooooo good now with rtgi off

[wild lake]

i need asrock to rerelease this mobo for am5 NOW

[bitter ridge]

This building here probably is the best example of RT reflections

[bitter ridge]

I become cpu bound if I turn any rt effects off

[plush path]

amazing

Anyone have a 5070ti and forza? I'm curious to see how it runs

[plush path]

Thank you. I'm looking for more consumer size like what you gave

[craggy shoal]

YOU CAN DAZA SWAP THE GOLF R HAHAHAHA

[plush path]

I mean @rancid juniper

What they sent

[bitter ridge]

Couple it with mfg you have a very fluid experience

[plush path]

I trust the image, but I also like to see consumer evidence too

[plush path]

Beautiful

[elfin mural]

5070ti runs identically to the amd counterpart basically

[plush path]

Oh okay, thank you

[bitter ridge]

Yeah both gpus start separating the heavier rt there is

And in Forza there is not a lot of it
