💀

[neat plover]

lets see how good itll display

yea it’s hella cool

[hard ice]

Upgraded from 1660 Super to a 5060 today.

[neat plover]

having oled physically suck bro

can’t touch it without having to precisely clean the oil

[rancid juniper]

Very nice upgrade, enjoy!

[worn night]

great upgrade

it would’ve been better to get a 9060xt for the same price but it’s still decent

[velvet summit]

that's literally any monitor

you're not supposed to touch the screen of any monitor that isnt touchscreen

[neat plover]

yea but oled is harder

[velvet summit]

it's about the same

it's slightly less noticeable on matte screens but it's still noticeable

also this isnt a quirk of oled

it's just because you're using a monitor with a glossy surface

lcds with glossy surfaces also have very noticable smudges when they get dirty

[unreal trail]

strawberries are 10 bucks a quart at the farm market this summer

[velvet summit]

damn

my partner bought a crate of strawberries a few years ago and ate them all in like a day or 2

she is a strawberry fiend

[neat plover]

Is most ips and Va panel matte

[velvet summit]

for the most part yeah

matte is more common nowadays because it looks better in most situations

[neat plover]

Oled life changing

Made my 144hz monitor look laggy

[hard ice]

There wern't any in stock where I got it from.

[proud jackal]

Warm

[worn night]

Rip

In any case enjoy your new gpu man

[unreal trail]

good thing I have two strawberry patches in my yard

[neat plover]

What’s the best second monitor type to get if u have oled as main

[velvet summit]

Honestly anything works as a secondary

[nocturne flicker]

How about a 30 inch crt tv

[velvet summit]

I mean...... Technically it would work but it's not ideal for the same reason why OLED isn't ideal for a secondary monitor

Burn in is a bit more of an issue

[nocturne flicker]

Aight Imma go buy one and complain that you didn't tell me that it would have problems when it eventually does

[velvet summit]

[dusk knot]

HM

[nocturne flicker]

Mmmmmm

[neat plover]

Any monitor with no burn in but almost like true black in dark

Beside oled

[velvet summit]

true black with no burn in would have to be an ips with a miniled backlight

[neat plover]

Boy they’re expensive asw

Damn

[velvet summit]

you could just use a regular ips monitor

[neat plover]

😬

[dusk knot]

Hm

@neat plover how's the OLED?

[velvet summit]

very glossy from what i've heard

[unreal trail]

what are these temps its almost June

[velvet summit]

it would be hot on monday

[unreal trail]

thats below freezing

[velvet summit]

it's celcius if it wasn't obvious 💀

[unreal trail]

lol

[velvet summit]

it would (probably) not rain in 30f?

it would be cold enough to be hail or snow

[unreal trail]

nah that would probably be snow

[velvet summit]

oh

30f is just -1c

ok it could rain in that then

[nocturne flicker]

Ye

If it sits long enough on the ground it should freeze eventually

Maybe

50% chance

Depends on the temp of the ground too

Though usually the ground should be a little colder than the air

[neat plover]

It’s very ultra

[dusk knot]

ultra what

good

?

great

[opaque sedge]

Jp

Should i get the steam frame

[nocturne flicker]

It's very ultra

[bitter ridge]

Good to see

[elfin mural]

hype is real

[elfin mural]

do you play enough vr to warrant a want fot one?

i know at least one furry who does things i can't talk about here in vrchat on a regular basis

and i don't even need to go into detail

[upper wedge]

https://www.facebook.com/share/1CmmtrMVpx/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Oh

💔

[elfin mural]

unhinged, and sometimes cringe stuff goes on in vrchat

[bitter ridge]

The new drag meet where you have to press go the moment green light comes really tests your reaction speed

[nocturne flicker]

[proud jackal]

HUH

[elfin mural]

furries can be weird, or normal

depends on who you bump into

[proud jackal]

biggest furry convention on west coast is like a block from me e very year

[opaque sedge]

Its got non vr features too

[elfin mural]

if you're talking about the controllers, don't ya already have the steam controller?

[opaque sedge]

Imagine streaming a game from ur pc to what appears to ur eyes as a gigantic screen

[elfin mural]

ah, that feature

[proud jackal]

yall think the steam frame will scream if we do a heavy fall

[opaque sedge]

Yep basically those ar glasses on steroids

[elfin mural]

can be repaired, but requires a heck ton of patience

[bitter ridge]

Ik it will be overrated since it has steam on the name

[opaque sedge]

Um i think the user would scream in that case

[proud jackal]

unless they died on impact

[opaque sedge]

The controller’s genuinely well made tho

Latency on it is snappy

[opaque sedge]

Then they would let out a shit

[elfin mural]

any wireless controller is snappy too tho

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/baki-yujiro-hanma-yujiro-gif-17873266028238581190

[elfin mural]

lmao

[upper wedge]

You think a 2.25x scope can repair?

[opaque sedge]

Other than the xbox oem ones, yeah

[bitter ridge]

No announcement on the steam machine yet and if that thing is over 650 Ik lots of buyers remorse will set in over time

[upper wedge]

Cause I managed to fix my z690 with a razor blade and my eyes 💔

[nocturne flicker]

It will be over 700

If it isn't just quietly cancelled

[opaque sedge]

I expected 700 bfr the ram shortage

[proud jackal]

$899

calling it rn

:3

[nocturne flicker]

$949.99

[opaque sedge]

800 maybe but for the base model

[proud jackal]

its almostr like we can make a betting pool

:)

[bitter ridge]

Wouldn't mind that since it's not solving any problems or filling any market gaps

[nocturne flicker]

Bet theo coin

[proud jackal]

$899 for base

[bitter ridge]

Steam machine is going to look especially dumb next to a ps6,project helix

[elfin mural]

it's unfortunate

[nocturne flicker]

Consoles gonna look dumb when the when the the

$1000

[elfin mural]

uhhh maybe

[bitter ridge]

Steam controller with it's two touchpads is unique though

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, it has two instead of one

[royal crow]

<$10000

[bitter ridge]

If they already have a PC it makes sense they wouldn't build a new one from the ground up

Just upgrade the cpu and gpu when it's time moving forward

[opaque sedge]

Not just the touchpads, its unique on the software side as well

And on the usability front its excellent as well

Its battery life is hugeeee

[bitter ridge]

That it locks out Xbox app,Epic and Ubisoft connect gamers ?

[nocturne flicker]

The touch pads aren't unique. Touchpads on controllers was something Sony did starting with the PS4

[elfin mural]

there exists a patch to unlock that now

[opaque sedge]

Yeah but its a github one not official

[elfin mural]

but i hate that it's gotta be third party

[opaque sedge]

The touchpads in the steam controller are unique in that they allow full mnk emulation

[elfin mural]

people have issues with locked down stuff

but when it's valve

they get excused for it

i get the repairability standpoint tho

but does valve sell the parts?

[bitter ridge]

I have decent amount of games on epic and Ubisoft connect

[elfin mural]

no

[opaque sedge]

Ifixit iirc

[elfin mural]

ah right

i forgot

[opaque sedge]

Well apparently they’re gonna

[nocturne flicker]

There is software to run a PS4 touchpad as a mouse

In fact I think Steam does that automatically?

[opaque sedge]

maybe i should try to run a gog game by adding it to steam

[bitter ridge]

You can apparently do the guitar thing in Tlou with a steam controller as well

[elfin mural]

valve is on a monopoly, as much as i hate to say it

[opaque sedge]

Ff7 rebirth has a piano minigame too

But man i really dont wanna start that slog of a game up again

[bitter ridge]

Ff7 rebirth gameplay straight up clunky compared to 16

[rancid juniper]

@bitter ridge @tranquil pebble skill point farming

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/yanatwt-gif-22814884

[rancid juniper]

atp get the standard edition

[opaque sedge]

Standard and deluxe look like shit

How long did forza 5 take to go on sale

[rancid juniper]

how much do you wanna spend on this?

[rancid juniper]

probably a year

[opaque sedge]

Any idea when the expansions are gonna come

[rancid juniper]

i have no clue

game is still fresh

[neat plover]

Holy comparison

Sub 5 vs chadlite

[rancid juniper]

oled moment

[neat plover]

OLED makes every game enjoyable

😭

didnt even like delta force now i like it

yall know how like non oled monitors tend to change brightness or gamma when u look at it from different pov

oled is like

same everutjing from any difrection

[dusk knot]

HDR is on right?

[neat plover]

uhhh

how to tell

oh

no its not

[dusk knot]

Wdym

Turn it on!

😤

[neat plover]

im trying

like

idk where

[dusk knot]

Go to windows displays settings

[neat plover]

oh shit its in windows

i was doing the monitor built in control sys

[dusk knot]

If you scroll down you’ll see a toggle for HDR

[neat plover]

Dude upgrading to r79800 and 5080 greatest sh of my life

Could max all graphic and still get 200 fps

Getting oled made it even better

Def won’t be upgrading for few years

[dusk knot]

Good

You did it?

Go to system >display> Advanced display

Send a picture. I want to see something

Make sure the picture is clear

The last one you sent was out of focus

[neat plover]

uhh

it just made stuff more unsaturated

[dusk knot]

Make sure your monitor is on a gaming mode

[dusk knot]

Go on image

What mode do you have selected?

[neat plover]

wait i gotta finish this story hold on

[dusk knot]

Also you need to turn on HDR in the game

[tranquil pebble]

I did all the race events, and still...

just FYI, game is basically broken

[dusk knot]

Rip

[velvet summit]

everyone knows valve is a monopoly but nobody hates it asides from the competition

they're not even a monopoly in the way that past monopolies existed
valve didnt buy out the competition to become a monopoly
they've just naturally became the monopoly because most people are using it

[worn wave]

Cope, valve just doesn't shoot themselves in the foot like every other brand

[worn wave]

Ok by this definition I guess they are a monopoly

But they're not anti competitive

Their competitors are just pathetic

[elfin mural]

i wasn't being negative towards valve

i do like valve, don't get me wrong lol

but they are a monopoly

[icy ore]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-kendrick-damn-damn-kendrick-kendrick-lamar-kendrick-gif-2877687138931275768

[elfin mural]

a monopoly isn't entirely bad, but it can go south at any moment's notice

[icy ore]

true

[elfin mural]

that's a lingering fear that pops up time to time

[icy ore]

it worries me when the current board is out and another takes over that will inevitably prioritize profits

[elfin mural]

which would then ruin valve completely

[icy ore]

yep

[elfin mural]

they'll abuse their market position if priorities change

[icy ore]

on that note, what do you guys think about rumored GTA6 price (obv a rumor and there’s been a million of them) but I was reading a site yesterday and it mentioned a leak price of like €99? Or something

[elfin mural]

i would think it would launch at 70 dollars or so

[icy ore]

cos that’s getting to the point where I don’t know if I can justify it

[elfin mural]

that's pretty much the new standard

99 for pre-order ig

[icy ore]

which I’m gonna wait for pc anyways. so I’ll play it when that comes out in 4 or 5 years

lmao

[elfin mural]

typically a pc port comes a year after console release

[icy ore]

yeah iirc gta5 was like 2 years?

granted early 2010s

[elfin mural]

ya

the first console releases were for xb360 and ps3 in 2013

[icy ore]

man I’m getting old damn

[elfin mural]

2014 for ps4 and xbone

[rancid juniper]

Uh oh

[icy ore]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-ursinho-pooh-soul-leaving-gif-27606477

[elfin mural]

damn

[tranquil pebble]

it also has stuttering issues on AMD systems apparently

and...

[bitter ridge]

That isn't a real sku

[elfin mural]

the early xbox 360's are 21 years old now

lmao

[icy ore]

I remember being so excited about my little 4gb version and then hating it cos I didn’t have room for shit

and now here we are, Roblox on my phone taking up 4gb

[worn wave]

Wait so they had people pay extra to play early and didn't even fully test it before

[ashen swan]

cha6t

[tranquil pebble]

yep, guess so

[worn wave]

So it's basically just like cod where you pay to get early access to the beta

[ashen swan]

which one do you guys like better

[tranquil pebble]

had some cars rendering with their tires not attached too

[bitter ridge]

I just got the purple wristband

[icy ore]

I’m sure they did, it’s just the fact that it’s tough to test performance on every single possible combination of components a pc can have, some of which can lead to perf loss

not excusing it

just saying

I do wish devs would take more time to polish their games

[ashen swan]

Context:
I'm editing a video for my graduation trip and this is the title cardf

[worn wave]

Well there's issues with like leveling and unlocks too apparently

[icy ore]

but it’s a $$$ market, not a fun one

[rancid juniper]

I had lots of micro-stutters on my 9070 xt PC, I had to turn off vsync and uncap the fps. I also tried to reset shader cache as well, after that there's less stuttering but it's still present

[tranquil pebble]

I had to use upscaling on low and medium to get it to stop

which is pathetic

[icy ore]

ya stutters on a 9070xt is inexcusable

maybe a patch will help but still

[tranquil pebble]

I have a 9800x3d too

[rancid juniper]

😭

[tranquil pebble]

there is no way in hell that is not enough

Im gonna guess the shader compiling is fubar on amd systems, seems to be a common thing with games these days

[icy ore]

need dual 5090 128gb ram 9950x3d minimum

[tranquil pebble]

istg if my 4060M ends up running it smoother im gonna lose it

[rancid juniper]

I mean after seeing that there's little support for AMD cards (lack of FSR FG, anti-lag 2.0) you could tell that the devs had this on lower priority

[neat plover]

in which tab

[tranquil pebble]

the game is still very much playable but absolutely not worth the price

[worn wave]

I'll be playing it via game pass in a few days don't feel bad for people who preordered though

[bitter ridge]

My frame time graph is a solid straight line

[rancid juniper]

The fact that Xbox app/Ms store doesn't have local network transferring for games is one of the reasons why steam is a monopoly

[bitter ridge]

I mean this is just the usual effects of a low market share

Radeon is in the single digits now

[rancid juniper]

Because they're missing opportunities till now

[worn wave]

Almost 19% on steam hardware survey

[rancid juniper]

They could make a 5090 killer right now but people would still buy the 5090 due to features like CUDA

[tranquil pebble]

also the fact that Xbox app is laggy slop

[worn wave]

Not to mention that consoles also use rdna

[rancid juniper]

It's horrible, it doesn't even have the option to cap download speeds but somehow EA app of all things got it

[tranquil pebble]

which is really bad... its basically why 5070 Ti is $1000

Anyone that says AAA gaming is peak rn is out of their mind

[nocturne flicker]

A monopoly in and of itself depresses competition, though if the monopoly in question doesn't expand that anti-competitiveness with active policy then it won't be as harmful. A benevolent monopoly is however still a monopoly and can undertake such actions at any time

[tranquil pebble]

(even console players are not safe from the performance issues these days)

[rancid juniper]

In an alternate timeline where Ati and 3dfx were still in business:

[rancid juniper]

Competition isn't even trying anymore

[nocturne flicker]

Doesn't matter

[rancid juniper]

[nocturne flicker]

Monopolies take space out of markets

Taking that space degrades the chance of successful competition

[rancid juniper]

Yes I know, just wish that launchers like GoG could be better

[tranquil pebble]

lets be real though, if Valve lost their monopoly someone worse would take it over

[rancid juniper]

Epic launcher slow and mid

[icy ore]

Xbox downloads games so horrendously slow

[rancid juniper]

Intel arc situation would've been different if they had a full lineup ready at launch

Still annoyed they fumbled

🗿

[bitter ridge]

People glazing the steam machine shows that they could release the most offensive product ever and people would still glaze it up

[tranquil pebble]

Steam Machine is a product of the times

[rancid juniper]

Gabe would do something and the glazing will be endless

[tranquil pebble]

Gabe should release donuts then. Those at least go well glazed.

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[neat plover]

idk JP

hdr makes my thing look worse

[rancid juniper]

btw have you seen this? https://videocardz.com/newz/microsoft-claims-95-faster-forza-horizon-6-loading-on-radeon-rx-9060-with-advanced-shader-delivery @tranquil pebble

[bitter ridge]

My Blackwell gpu doesn't get it ?

[rancid juniper]

i tried it and the compilation time was near instant

[rancid juniper]

you have already

it should be in your nvidia app

[tranquil pebble]

people are still getting stutters

and the compile time is near instant on Linux too

[rancid juniper]

linux be having that precompilation stuff natively unlike windows

[tranquil pebble]

Microslop skill issues

[rancid juniper]

smh

[tranquil pebble]

in any case, FH6 is going to be insanely time consuming to get that final story race

[bitter ridge]

Loading takes more then 2 minutes on my 9850x3d,5090

[tranquil pebble]

What SSD?

[bitter ridge]

8tb wd sn850x

[tranquil pebble]

ok so that definitely isnt limiting it

[rancid juniper]

When the stutter go stututututu

[tranquil pebble]

I was getting stutter even when I tried to lock to 30 FPS

[bitter ridge]

But when the games loads there is simply no stutters which is preferable over getting into the game quicker

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/roflcopter-gif-5561075

[tranquil pebble]

yeah definitely

[rancid juniper]

People did say that benchmark mode never stuttered

[tranquil pebble]

Benchmark mode recommended the low preset for my system

[rancid juniper]

It makes me wonder if that whole scenario was precompiled properly and the rest of the game is not

[rancid juniper]

Wtf bruh

[tranquil pebble]

ikr

my system can literally pathtrace in Cyberpunk at reasonable frames

[bitter ridge]

I think Crimson desert is the only game with all the newest Radeon feature set

[elfin mural]

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

streak of optmization for this year has been broken

[rancid juniper]

Correct

[rancid juniper]

That title is hilarious

[tranquil pebble]

meanwhile everytime Atlus releases a game, its light enough to usually run at like 120 FPS... for the 1% low. lol

Hope that continues ngl

[rancid juniper]

I mean, if your visual novel RPG game is running horrible that's just embarrassing

[tranquil pebble]

yandev could do that

[rancid juniper]

That one high poly toothbrush

[elfin mural]

the 5090 on epic 1080p dlaa can drop to almost 60 fps in dense areas

OOF

that's hella rough

[bitter ridge]

What are the visuals like on offer

[rancid juniper]

1080p dlaa?

What

The

Heck?

[elfin mural]

visuals are good, but like

no ray tracing

[rancid juniper]

Wait wait

Lemme run this rq

[elfin mural]

unless the game has lumen

which is a form of rt

[bitter ridge]

60fps at 1080p is what Alan wake 2 with path tracing runs at

[tranquil pebble]

probably the worst form of rt

[elfin mural]

oh the lowest it dropped to is 73

but god damn

a 5090? 73 fps? 1080p?

[sinful blade]

So a game with an actual horrendous EULA, and had a prequel in beta for 5+ years, has horrible performance, after being launched in an alpha

[rancid juniper]

Something is insanely wrong

[sinful blade]

I have never supported the people behind subnautica
Can’t stand the years long beta type games

[rancid juniper]

Felt that, alot of games being in early access

[elfin mural]

i do understand long beta games, but as long as it's done right like beamng

[bitter ridge]

That makes sense for budget constraints

[sinful blade]

Yeah

[pseudo raven]

Yeah ngl kinda hate the company but

I love that game so much

[rancid juniper]

Beamng is the exception

[bitter ridge]

You fund the game for final release while in early access

[pseudo raven]

Some of the most fun I've had in the past few years was playing subnautica nitrox

[sinful blade]

The games seem fun
But I’m not gonna support the same exact behavior that they’re gonna do again

[sinful blade]

Why not just… release it full

[pseudo raven]

As for it being early access, the game is cheaper right now

[bitter ridge]

.

[pseudo raven]

Compared to when its complete

[sinful blade]

These people have a massively successful prequel x2

[pseudo raven]

Not that it completely justifies it, but for a game like subnautica I think it's alright

[sinful blade]

There cannot be that big of a budget restraint

[bitter ridge]

I have supported a lot of early access racing games since I love the genre

[pseudo raven]

I mean it seems like a win win to me

People that want to play the game early get to do that at a discount

[pseudo raven]

And they get feedback to hopefully make the game better

[opaque sedge]

Is that subnautica 2?

[rancid juniper]

yea

[opaque sedge]

Can u fight the leviathans in it? Heard its a no kill game

[nocturne flicker]

Only justifiable for small teams tbh

[pseudo raven]

In subnautica 1 you technically could

[rancid juniper]

There has to be

[pseudo raven]

But it was never really worth it

Never really a pt

[nocturne flicker]

By the end Subnautica 1 had like, what 50 people on the dev team or contributing?

[opaque sedge]

I think i got subnautica once on sale

[pseudo raven]

I got it for 5 dollars off some grey market site

[sinful blade]

Yeah
This is not a small team

[opaque sedge]

Dont early access games increase in price after coming out of early access

[pseudo raven]

Yeah

[sinful blade]

Yeah

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah

[opaque sedge]

Kind of wanna get no rest of the wicked ngl heard its coming out of early access soon

[sinful blade]

Aren’t you downloading something

Im not hearing audio

[opaque sedge]

Buying tainted grail stung for me when i knew abt its lowest price when it was in early access

[nocturne flicker]

Has f-bombs 🗞️

[ashen swan]

It was finished

[ashen swan]

Oh sorry gimme a sec

[pseudo raven]

what the freak

[ashen swan]

Nvm

Sorry

[opaque sedge]

Yeah what the freak bro

[rancid juniper]

setting effects to high boosted the fps

[nocturne flicker]

Freak the what?

[dusk knot]

yeah

[opaque sedge]

Damn game’s that demanding?

[rancid juniper]

Yuh

[dusk knot]

is there RT?

[rancid juniper]

Epic settings just be hitting performance too hard with little visual differences

[rancid juniper]

There's no rt option

[nocturne flicker]

RT will come out in 5 years

[bitter ridge]

Lumen is a form of RT

[dusk knot]

thats a no buy from me

😩

jk

[bitter ridge]

Did you buy Alan wake 2

[dusk knot]

no money no money

i mean i do have some, just not enough for gaming

[bitter ridge]

Control resonant should release this year unless there is a delay

[dusk knot]

cool

our 50 series cards are ready

[rancid juniper]

much better

[dusk knot]

do you see a diff?

[worn wave]

It's Early Access and they're transparent about the fact it isn't finished or polished (unlike some games these days)

[rancid juniper]

Not much visually, performance went sharply up tho

[dusk knot]

nice

is this with FSR?

[rancid juniper]

No

[worn wave]

Curious what fps all High nets

[rancid juniper]

(tsr off)

[misty sparrow]

graphics aside is the game fun and worth the cash

[dusk knot]

turn it on

plz

[misty sparrow]

aside from the EULA being majorly invasive

[rancid juniper]

I need to use optiscaler for that, fsr doesn't exist in this game yet

[dusk knot]

well then

[worn wave]

Subnautica: here's early access to our unfinished game for less than the release price
Forza: here's a few days early access to our unfinished game for more than the release price

[rancid juniper]

Pick your poison ah scenario

[bitter ridge]

I don't see anything unfinished about Fh6

[worn wave]

(yeah I know it's apples and oranges but funny joke)

[worn wave]

Look up in chat

[rancid juniper]

The only thing unfinished is proper AMD GPU support, the rest is fine

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/up-huh-look-up-what-is-it-gif-15405060

[bitter ridge]

I played for like 8 hours

Most of it was doing barn finds and customizing garages though

[opaque sedge]

Thats like the case 9/10 times no 💀

[rancid juniper]

[misty sparrow]

I looked up and can’t really find it, it’s annoying when mobile discord jumps around when trying to scroll up

[dusk knot]

bashir

[nocturne flicker]

The only barns I find nowadays are decrepit shacks

[nocturne flicker]

Bashir

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure amd struggled to put out drivers for crimson desert a game they sponsored in time as well

[nocturne flicker]

It is actually a good gif and I don't know why I've never used it before

[misty sparrow]

I’m surprised it seemingly runs this bad because I looked at the Steam reviews, people liked how it ran on Steam deck and how it ran on Proton

[opaque sedge]

What gif

[nocturne flicker]

This one

[misty sparrow]

I thought it was optimized from Steam reviews

[bitter ridge]

The lower settings could be extremely scalable

I don't remember what that scene was about though

[opaque sedge]

Roof leak?

[dusk knot]

soo many implications

[dusk knot]

I don't either

too many episodes makes you forget

[rancid juniper]

they actually recommend to use RTGI i see

You fixed the hdr right?

no

im not gonna use it

[opaque sedge]

Most games would need a renodx mod for hdr to look good btw

[dusk knot]

Not all games. But alright

[dusk knot]

Definitely do the research when you have time.

It’s not that difficult

The issue is most likely the monitor itself

[elfin mural]

one day i will buy death stranding 2

i fell in love with the first game when i got it for free on epic

and eventually got a chance to play it with proper hardware

[sinful blade]

One day I’ll get no man’s sky

[opaque sedge]

One day i’ll get elden ring 2

https://klipy.com/gifs/monkey-listening

[random osprey]

elden ring movie, take it or leave it

[copper blade]

can i ask questions in here or is there a dedicated channel for that

[random osprey]

you can ask in here but might be a while to get an answer, you can ask in the corresponding channel that makes sense for the question

[copper blade]

is there a purchasing prebuilts channel

or like a newegg help thing

i mean seeing as youre in the server i assume you’ve purchased from newegg b4?

[random osprey]

#building-and-recc-chat would be the best channel for that question.

[random osprey]

ive bought from newegg but not a pre-built, only parts

[copper blade]

ok this question should still apply then

i bought smth from them

but

after i purchased it i couldnt get into my acc

i looked firther into it

and apparently it got deactivated

first i thought it wasnt a big deal since theyll just refund the grand i spent on the prebuilt

but they still havnt

i tried dialing the customer support snd they said they dk what happened

so idk what to do now

do you know if its being shipped

or smth

this was my first purchase with them

if that changes anything

I feel like my hands are tied here since i have nth to do aftee filling the form out. I just hope i didnt get screwed here off a thousand dollars

[random osprey]

i assume either you account was new or didnt/hasnt made any purchases or large purchases so they deemed it as a potential bot account. has happened to some people before. itd be best to contact their support, dming @digital thunder here on discord tends to net the best or most positive outcome for most people instead of contacting customer support through their website.

as far as you not receiving your refund, it takes some times for that and also it is the weekend so youd have to wait for business hours for anything

[elfin mural]

so you have bought a prebuilt from newegg? and your account got flagged? yeah, i'd contact neweggservice like wolfgang suggested

[opaque sedge]

do u guys think this will be able to play pc games?

[copper blade]

alright ill try that i guess. Also, if i have to make any purchases, my account has to age a little bit?

[opaque sedge]

its what they're gonna use on the steam frame

[random osprey]

it should be fine afterwards after talking to neweggservice letting them know your situation and letting them know youre an actual person but id wait a little bit until your refund does come back from the pre-built purchase

[copper blade]

so shall I dm it now or wait until my refund comes in and dm after?

[random osprey]

you can dm them now but you probably wont receive a reply until monday during business hours, 9am - 5pm pst

[copper blade]

And im guessing around thst timeframe is when the refund will come in?

[random osprey]

more than likely not assuming your made the purchase thursday-friday since it takes a few business days potentially a week for a refund

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-burnt-peanut-liar-deceiver-false-prophet-gif-2293739730837593656

[random osprey]

but itd be best to let newegg service know so they can work that out and make sure either your purchase does go through or you do get a refund

[copper blade]

Oh okay

Thanks alot for the help

didnt realize purchasing a prebuilt would be this tedious 😭

[random osprey]

typically it isnt but during covid there was a rise in resellers with bot accounts

still a problem today in a lot of different hobbies

Dont merchants in elder scrolls fleece you by undervaluing shit you sell

[nocturne flicker]

That is generally how selling things works in rpgs?

Or selling anything to a store irl

In game it is a way of preventing you from acquiring too much currency too quickly, irl it is just companies taking advantage of you

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/burnt-peanut-burntpeanut-sad-sad-peanut-burnpeanut-depressed-depressed-gif-12601442800415920405

wait there are other rpgs like elder scrolls?

name em pls

smth modern preferably

[nocturne flicker]

There are a lot of RPGs everywhere. You do realize that RPGs aren't exclusive to Elder Scrolls right?

[opaque sedge]

no but like with towns and gameplay systems

and medieval fantasy

dont think i've heard of many of those

[nocturne flicker]

Every rpg has towns and gameplay systems?

[opaque sedge]

cept like archaic ones

[nocturne flicker]

RPG is a very broad category

[bitter ridge]

Some of the filters in photo mode are really good

[opaque sedge]

ok is there a game like dragons dogma (minus the pawn system) but more complete

[bitter ridge]

Crimson desert ?

[nocturne flicker]

I dunno. Dragon's Dogma was an action rpg. There are a lot of games in that genre. The Witcher games, Fable and Fable likes like Kingdom of Amalur. I dunno man, take a look around

[ashen swan]

alright guys

How's the camera on the Pixel 10 pro fold

I will be trying to fix a Chrysler Crossfire tomorrow and I hope it is the problem I think it is otherwise I will have to wait for parts to come in. They are known to have bad soldering on the relay control module so hopefully it's an easy fix. otherwise it's probably a relay.

Though I guess doesn't really apply to PC players

[craggy shoal]

Runescape

lmao

[velvet summit]

Literally a game by the same company, fallout as well

💀

Or like their favorite game or whatever (cyberpunk 2077)

[craggy shoal]

Isn't Cyberpunk your favorite game?

[velvet summit]

Or red dead redemption

[craggy shoal]

(But yes you should definitely try TES 4)

Hogwarts Legacy is also an amazing game. Get it when it's discounted though. It goes on sale a lot

[velvet summit]

Also wait
I somehow forgot another big one

Literally GTA

[elfin mural]

decided to investigate about the whole 4gb ai model that google sneaked onto all chrome installs

and yep, the weighs.bin file is here for me too

[craggy shoal]

"Opt" is a crazy take

[elfin mural]

what

i deleted the weights.bin profile

and the next time i launch chrome, the folder is empty

[craggy shoal]

The "Opt" in "OptGuideOnDeviceModel"

idk maybe "Opt" means something else in this context

[elfin mural]

opt is optional

but it clearly wasn't optional

[craggy shoal]

Is there a guide on how to delete it? Or could I just delete these files?

[elfin mural]

you can just delete these files

they're in C:/Users/[Username}/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/OptGuideOnDeviceModel

[craggy shoal]

Interesting. I don't have that folder yet

Not seing OptGuideOnDeviceModel yet. I have optimization_guide_model_store but it has a bunch of other folders in it

[elfin mural]

not related to the 4 gigs file i believe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HwQtv5Xgr8

wow, our brains are so efficient

20w and better than ai

[craggy shoal]

Figured not. I didn't see anything that's 4GB

[elfin mural]

i'll see if it pops up again

so far i'm not seeing my internet slow down (i have shitty internet, downloading big files slows it down)

[royal crow]

There's no way it's 20W

It's like less than 5 iirc

[tranquil pebble]

either way

[ashen swan]

I need a new laptop bro I'm stucked on 256gb of storage

JUST WHEN I STARTED VIDEO EDITING AND PHOTOGRAPHY

Framework Please refeesh the 12 already

If they don't have a non 13 pro laptop that has a good battery life by march of next year I'm getting a M2 Pro 1tb

Why just an M2 Pro?

Save that Pro money and go for an M4 Air

Might even get extra storage

SD CARD READER

[craggy shoal]

Oh gotcha

MINI LED DISPLAY

This is like

the killer for most laptops

[craggy shoal]

I like my M3 Air. I have an external SD card reader

[ashen swan]

Cause I really hate extenrnal SD Card Readers

I find them incostinent and really easy to disrupt and break

[craggy shoal]

Nah you just get bad options

I've never had one fail on me

You don't edit directly from the SD card, do you?

[ashen swan]

No

well to specify

I hate SD card readers on laptops

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[elfin mural]

having a slot that you don't use is also not that big of a deal

[ashen swan]

that's a extenral one

I;m extremley picky

[velvet summit]

It's more than a used good condition engine ong

Or a new name brand good quality small engine (not for a car)

[craggy shoal]

It's definitely less than a new engine for my car 💀

[velvet summit]

Really?

Damn your right

Some crate engines are only around 3k

[pliant berry]

honestly im just used to external card readers now. not many of my cameras use sd cards anymore and I don't think any laptops have built in cf express or sata readers lol

[sinful blade]

So after looking very deep into it

Wife needs a new gpu, rather than cpu

[misty sparrow]

is it not working

[sinful blade]

No, it is

It’s a hot running Dell 5700xt, and the games she plays are more gpu dependent. I took all morning and Doug’s advice as well to look into it.

[ashen swan]

I need 16gb GPU huh

well

[misty sparrow]

That's fair

Have you decided on something

[sinful blade]

I reposted it a few weeks ago and it’s still running hotter than it should

Not yet
Im gonna have to opt for nvidia this time, because fallout games prefer those for some reason

[misty sparrow]

what specific nvidia gpu have you considered

[pliant berry]

what are you considering hot? is it actually affecting performance at all

[sinful blade]

Not sure yet. I don’t have a large budget

[ashen swan]

how much could you reastically go for

[sinful blade]

It’s running 95-98 while playing fallout 4

[sinful blade]

$200 at the moment. I have $80 from a cpu I just sold, and I can sell the 5700xt

[bitter ridge]

Nvme used to be so cheap I bought enclosures to use them as thumb drives

oh yeah I held the zenbook S 16 (0.9kg) HOLY MOLY I get what you mean by light laptops now

[ashen swan]

Curious how's the market for 20 Super series over wherever you live

[sinful blade]

@pliant berry Thats not even with graphical mods either

[misty sparrow]

isn't the 5700xt equivalent to a 2070super or something though

[sinful blade]

It’s like a 2070 super ish

Wow my messages are taking forever to send

[pliant berry]

seems average, you already check the pate and such

is this a blower

[bitter ridge]

2070super aged far better they are not comparable anymore imo

[ashen swan]

I said 20 Super series
It means
2060 Super
2070 Super
2080 Super

[sinful blade]

Nope. It’s a two fan

[pliant berry]

paste* not pate

[sinful blade]

I already reposted a few weeks ago

[ashen swan]

maybe the cooler is just REALLY bad lol

[pliant berry]

undervolting?

[sinful blade]

It’s always undervolted

[ashen swan]

isn't RDNA 1 rlly inefficent as well ?

[sinful blade]

It only started being this bad a few months ago.

[ashen swan]

Dust ? Clean it up ?

[sinful blade]

I have done literally everything

I just cleaned it 2 days ago lmao

Normal 5700xts average 90-94c at full usage

This is at like 60% usage

It is an old card, so I expected it to have issues

[worn night]

Bro had a vision https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kke7qAGWFQ

[sinful blade]

@worn night what do you recommend Mr techie

[worn night]

[sinful blade]

Use the context

This is now a test for you

[worn night]

Your 5700xt is failing?

[sinful blade]

It is
Read more and determine a solution

[worn night]

Flash a new vbios

[sinful blade]

Already done.

Keeping this gpu is no longer an option

[worn night]

well it is pulling 200+ watts though a potato 2 fan heatsink

probably the low quality vrms

and its just old

[sinful blade]

So, with a $200 budget

What is the best option

[worn night]

You wanted an Nvidia right?

[sinful blade]

Yeah

Unfortunately.

[worn night]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/306943750382
https://www.ebay.com/itm/168378850475
2080 outperforms and is cheaper than 200

https://www.ebay.com/itm/157916375693

2080 super for right at 200

so after tax like 220

[grand kernel]

we talking core or hotspot

90-94c core is definitely not normal for a 5700xt

for hotspot that's still kinda spicy but not crazy

[opaque sedge]

Spicy u say…

I dont even know my gpu’s hotspot

Thx ngreedia

[ashen swan]

I need a good laptop with storage

but I'm poor

[grand kernel]

I know your gpu's hotspot

[ashen swan]

I do have 1tb 2230 SSD

[grand kernel]

it's the 12vhpwr cable at 125 °C

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-burnt-peanut-burntpeanut-theburntpeanut-rage-tarkov-gif-12064530684685202490

[grand kernel]

thanks ngreedia

[opaque sedge]

The 5080 def has a high enough hotspot for them to remove the sensor tho

Thing has good core temps but the fluctuations make me concerned

[grand kernel]

fun fact: the minimum power draw for a 12vhpwr to be in danger of melting is...

drum roll

115 watts

[opaque sedge]

I’m talking fluctuations of upto 10 degrees celcius

[opaque sedge]

No way

What the hell

[grand kernel]

spec is 9.5A per pin

the failure mode is all the current going into 1 pin

12V * 9.5A = 114W

[opaque sedge]

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

[grand kernel]

is that just zero rpm kicking in or what

that's really weird

[opaque sedge]

The power draw on it is weird

Like typically when ur gpu is at max usage u expect it to draw max power right

[grand kernel]

also yeah my 9070xt hotspot delta is crazy despite the ptm7950

[dusk knot]

Hm

[opaque sedge]

Well depending on the game its either 280watts or 320 watts

[grand kernel]

I'm so used to hotspot delta being 15C maximum

this card is like

55C core 90C hotspot 90C memory lol

my laptop 3070M has a hotspot delta of 6C at 140W sustained

[opaque sedge]

People say its normal but i dont think i ever saw weird power draw like that in my 4070super

[grand kernel]

not on 50 series no

depending on the workload you'll often hit vcore limit before power limit

[opaque sedge]

Man is 50 series just chopped or is it designed weird

[grand kernel]

100% usage doesn't mean a whole lot

nah it's a good thing

it means you're not being limited by an arbitrary power limit because the architecture is efficient

[opaque sedge]

Ohhh

[grand kernel]

contrast that to 30 series cards where you were always running into power limit when you were nowhere near voltage limit

potentially leaving performance on the table

[opaque sedge]

Wbt the 40 series?

[grand kernel]

because it used terrible samsung 8nm node

[opaque sedge]

Oh right samsung makes silicon too

[grand kernel]

iirc samsung 8nm is similar to tsmc 10nm

meanwhile 40 series uses tsmc 4nm

[opaque sedge]

Damn

The smaller it is the more expensive right?

[grand kernel]

idk 40 series is similar

my 4080 always hit voltage limit before power limit

I could just sustain absolute maximum clock and vcore forever

[opaque sedge]

Think my 4070super always stuck to 220watts at max usage no matter the game

[grand kernel]

I think that was 3090mhz at 1.1v

that might be PL

[sinful blade]

Core

I think

[grand kernel]

my 4080 had 450W PL and I basically never saw it cross 320

I got it to hit 400 one time

[grand kernel]

yeah something's definitely wrong there

[opaque sedge]

Damn so 50 series did improve upon efficiency

[grand kernel]

I owned 4 different 5700xt models

[neat plover]

fps for fos

[grand kernel]

none of them were going above 70c core with stock fan curve at full load

and I live in a very hot area

[nocturne flicker]

The newer it is the more expensive.

[grand kernel]

probably? same node but architectural improvements

[sinful blade]

Yeah that’s why I need a new gpu for wife lmao

[opaque sedge]

60 series is gonna be mega expensive…

[grand kernel]

might be bad mounting pressure?

[opaque sedge]

After all absolute buffoons bought and have been buying 5080s for 1500 bucks and more

[grand kernel]

remember when 3080s were $1600?

[nocturne flicker]

Smaller sizes usually results in lower cost due to higher yield but they are still expensive while the process is new and cutting edge

[grand kernel]

one of my 5700xt at 65C during time spy

i believe this was a dual fan

3 fan gigabyte 5700xt at 62C

this one had a painted backplate probably reducing its cooling effectiveness

[elfin mural]

https://youtu.be/2RQHr02fPXU

the goat gpu

[grand kernel]

damn, the sapphire one is a way better bin tho

maybe i'm misremembering and it's a nitro lol cause 2128mhz is crazy

[elfin mural]

no drivers support but it works somehow

[grand kernel]

i remember being surprised by this 3080 ventus

i heard so many horror stories about ventus cooling

average temp 45C

[opaque sedge]

Exactly why nvidia was daring enough to increase the msrp across the board for the 40 series

Consumers are absolute suckers

[grand kernel]

ah i remember this one

53C laptop gpu

[elfin mural]

crypto mining was booming mid covid too

so yeah, double whammy

[opaque sedge]

And nvidia for sure did some market manipulation to make sure crypto farms got all the gpus

[grand kernel]

i had the laptop cover off and was running the benchmark upside down on the balcony at nighttime during winter with a desk fan blasting air directly onto the board lol

how to get a laptop to not overheat

[elfin mural]

it's not manipulation, it's just allocating sales towards people who are willing to pay

still bad tho

but we are in a world driven by capitalism

[grand kernel]

i mean tbh if people are willing to pay that much i'd rather the money goes to nvidia than to scalpers

at least nvidia might like actually spend 0.1% of it on r&d or something

[elfin mural]

oh yeah, some of the cash went to scalpers

scalpers add absolutely 0 value best case

[elfin mural]

scalping has expanded to many other hobbies too

pokemon cards

worst case you see pokemon cards scalpers grabbing a box out of a kid's hands in a store

💀

how do you even do that as a grown ass adult and not feel shame

disgusting

honestly subhuman

?

[elfin mural]

scalpers are worse than unemployed people

imo

[grand kernel]

imagine seeing a kid happy he got the last box of pokemon cards and your first thought is yeah let me push him and force the box out of his hands to add to my cart of 40 boxes for profit

🤣

should be an assault charge

make it more severe since it's against a child

[elfin mural]

it's like fighting for toilet paper

the world actually didn't have a shortage

ppl just kept buying too quickly

the employees simply couldn't restock in time

[grand kernel]

saw a guy on youtube meeting up with scalpers, asking to see the product, then quickly cutting the plastic wrap on the boxes lmao

[elfin mural]

[opaque sedge]

So game devs are gonna downgrade path tracing and then nvidia’s gonna introduce another new and more computationally demanding form of path tracing and start marketing that as the future

Like they did with ray tracing

[opaque sedge]

6080 heck even the 6070 is gonna be insanely priced, legit expecting the 6080 msrp to be 1500 thanks to buffoons who bought those ridiculously overpriced asus cards

[dusk knot]

Same thing….more rays

laptops being casually overpriced

[opaque sedge]

Those fancy new apu laptops are never gonna be reasonably priced are they…

tempting

[upper rain]

helldivers 2 if you own it, DS emulator (your pick) if you can, and maybe uhhh idk fortnite or something for a free UE5 game to test

and if ur on windows, davinci resolve would be awesome to try (i think it might have a linux version to i forgor)

[worn wave]

(it does have a Linux version)

[elfin mural]

that proart is literally the tuf a14

[ashen swan]

ah about davinchi

I hate it

XD

but I'll try

[upper rain]

lol, i mena just chuck some stuff in a time line and see if it crashes while scrubbing/rendering. i don't do anything crazy, but maybe a combined like 3h of video with a couple of layers (random clips i won't make you actually edit something lmao)

boy, im sure she'd be disappointed if she got a spray.

[random osprey]

is it coming out may or november

[rancid juniper]

It would've been crazy if they went back to May but it wouldn't make sense business wise, they're still gunning for November release

[random osprey]

last year they said itll come out november this year and then a little bit ago they said may 26 this year and now back to november?

guess it gives me more time to save up for an xbox but sadge

[bitter ridge]

November 19 way more likely

Give the people a few more months to buy PS5 and Series consoles

[rancid juniper]

Yep

[bitter ridge]

Good to see more people believe it is a dud beyond 650

[nocturne flicker]

GTA6 in November 2030

[rancid juniper]

i really hope they take all the criticisms properly from their last two games and make something good out of this
