general-chat

[onyx merlin]

For either Steam Machine or Project Helix to work Max price can only be 1200-1500 but more likely 700-1000 price range for both machines

[opaque sedge]

The professional stuff?

[onyx merlin]

if priced higher then what I suggest it will flop

from extreme prices.

[rancid juniper]

Steam machine better not be near or over $1000

The specs don't justify the price

[nocturne flicker]

[opaque sedge]

It would genuinely fail

[elfin mural]

sorta i guess, a board was spotted with 128gb of ram or so

[bitter ridge]

Steam machine is weaker than a rx 7600

[elfin mural]

but that's probably the top spec

[onyx merlin]

Of Course Steam Machine itself will have 1000 dollar model

[elfin mural]

oop

wrong reply

[rancid juniper]

Hmmm

[onyx merlin]

but basic one should be 700-850 perhaps

[elfin mural]

i meant to reply to fingertips

lol

in any case tho

[onyx merlin]

My point is Steam Machine and Project Helix is good for computer gaming overall it makes gate keeping far less

[opaque sedge]

Will only be a storage upgrade prolly, they only have a single config for the cpu and gpu and god knows when and if they will make a successor

[elfin mural]

steam machine is bound to fail with these ram prices

[onyx merlin]

and allows previous Console only users to join the fold.

[elfin mural]

it could be $1000

[onyx merlin]

Plus it will increase Steams User base by insane amounts

[elfin mural]

$1000 could get you a pc that you can actually upgrade

[bitter ridge]

Asha sharma first console launch I am very excited to see how she steers the ship

[onyx merlin]

I can See Sony shaking in their boots

[elfin mural]

steam machine is barely upgradable due to its custom form factor

[opaque sedge]

If they can squeeze some savings in by sourcing parts b2b there is a chance the base config could still be around 800

[onyx merlin]

realizing their console exclusive devices wont work for much longer..

[elfin mural]

valve isn't a very large company, at least in terms of hardware

[onyx merlin]

Honestly PS5 is still going strong but I regret getting it lol

..

[elfin mural]

they don't have the privileges like nvidia

[onyx merlin]

got it back at launch thought.

[elfin mural]

even apple is getting pushed aside for dram priority

all because nvidia and all the hyperscalers are willing to pay even more than apple is willing to

[rancid juniper]

Recently PlayStation announced that first party titles are not coming to PC anymore lol

[opaque sedge]

Plus most people looking to spend that much on a pc will likely just go to a tech store to grab a prebuilt or join communities for build help (take me for example I was initially gunning for a 1000 dolla build)

[rancid juniper]

Nintendo is still alive due to exclusivity alone

[onyx merlin]

I would have liked it if they had done that when I got a PS5 in first place as they promised exclusives lol

but did 360

.

[bitter ridge]

Wild

[elfin mural]

i don't like playstation. being forced to pay to have multiplayer gaming access is sad

[rancid juniper]

Real

[opaque sedge]

Personally not mad abt that but I am mad abt the absolutely insufferable imbeciles PlayStation fans have been

[onyx merlin]

Sadly I will give credit to Sony for one thing

[rancid juniper]

Thank Microsoft for that

[elfin mural]

you mean.. sony?

[onyx merlin]

They make durable consoles that can last years granted I dont see my PS5 lasting as long as my Play Station 2.

I still got my launch Fat Playstation 2 from the year 2000

it works great

[elfin mural]

xbox doesn't have ps plus or something of that bs

[rancid juniper]

Xbox introduced the online multiplayer subscriptions no?

[elfin mural]

idk

[opaque sedge]

I think it was xbox

[nocturne flicker]

The fat PS2 is eterenal

[onyx merlin]

Xbox is going to be dead soon project Helix or Steam Machine kills it

both let users acesss Steam

[bitter ridge]

[rancid juniper]

Yes and then PlayStation followed with the PS4

Then Nintendo

[onyx merlin]

why pay Gamepass sub price

when you can use Steam ?

[elfin mural]

oh, right

xbox gold

that became gamepass

[bitter ridge]

There is still no firm confirmation project helix can use steam

[rancid juniper]

What if they block steam tho on the helix machine?

[nocturne flicker]

30 years from now gonna go on Ebay and'll find fat PS2, never serviced working fine

The everlasting game console

[elfin mural]

helix project is just windows on xbox mode

[opaque sedge]

The AI’s gotta be tripping unless its about mmos

[onyx merlin]

they wont... otherwise they will loose sales rapidly... if they do end up being dumb it will be like 1-2 years into the console after they made initial sale money

most people are getting it to use Steam.

I am sure.

[rancid juniper]

Lol, they gonna shove Microsoft store daily

[worn night]

[opaque sedge]

Can’t say anything for certain bfr launch ngl

[onyx merlin]

I hate gamepass even when it has something interesting on it I just cant abide the monthly fee structure it feels Yucky and gross.

I prefer Steams Model far more

[elfin mural]

gamepass is good for when you wanna play a game you want for a month or two

[opaque sedge]

But it feels like they’re trying to appeal to a market that desires openness in their systems

[nocturne flicker]

They won't

[elfin mural]

cause it's cheap as hell compared to buying the games outright

don't permanently subscribe to it

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-omni-man-are-you-sure-are-you-sure-invincible-gif-3935116808772397515

[nocturne flicker]

They actually can't if they want it to do moderately well

[elfin mural]

only take advantage of it when a game launches

[onyx merlin]

Gamepass is like when your dating someone but its only casual and neither of you feel much for the other... Steam is more like a serious relationship where sparks are flying between both of you.

Steam is superior in every way

[nocturne flicker]

Xbox has no exclusives

[opaque sedge]

Maybe its due to the small success of the steam deck or maybe its cuz they’re desperate and are salvaging whats left of them

[elfin mural]

i want fh6, but i don't wanna pay like $70 for it

[rancid juniper]

When people think of Xbox what do they see?

Idk tbh

[elfin mural]

and honestly all forza horizon games for me just give me joy for a month or two at best

it gets repetitive and boring quick

[nocturne flicker]

The only selling point they can go for is a multiplatform console

[elfin mural]

"console"

call it a damn pc atp

[nocturne flicker]

Play your Steam games and your Xbox library on one device

[opaque sedge]

For me… a secondary gaming service thats nice to have as an option with the pc xbox app

[elfin mural]

if a console stops being locked down to one os

it just becomes a mini pc

[rancid juniper]

Your laptop can be that second device and be far superior

[onyx merlin]

Overall I think Steam Machine has most potential as long as parts can be upgraded.

[opaque sedge]

I have a mac…

[nocturne flicker]

Who said anything about it not being locked down

[onyx merlin]

It offers a secure form of Linux and a desktop mode for doing causal tasks

[elfin mural]

steam machine? upgrading?

[onyx merlin]

like paying bills and browsing web

[elfin mural]

it's not even itx

it's smaller

[nocturne flicker]

I was talking about Xbox

[elfin mural]

upgrading a steam machine is a pipe dream due to its custom design

[opaque sedge]

Other than the ram and ssd nope we alr know the cpu and gpu aren’t going to be upgradable

[elfin mural]

it's a console that runs on steam os pretty much

not really a full fat pc

[onyx merlin]

you know foxy its got a desktop mode

and can do most things a desktop can do

[craggy shoal]

I use like every operating system ever lol

[nocturne flicker]

Steam Machine is a console form factor PC

[elfin mural]

yeah, but just because it can run desktop stuff, doesn't mean it will be upgradable

[onyx merlin]

I prefer Windows overall but I am not dissing Steam they make solid good quality products

[elfin mural]

only ram and ssd will be the stuff we can replace

[bitter ridge]

Wonder how AMD got to the billion devices number

[opaque sedge]

With lot of restrictions over a desktop pc

[elfin mural]

but the cpu and gpu? definitely not

it's too small to fit any off the shelf parts

[craggy shoal]

Come to think of it, if you think this is crazy, you have a genuine skill issue

[opaque sedge]

Prolly ryzen?

And consoles

[elfin mural]

they probably counted apu laptops

[nocturne flicker]

It is a less mobile forward laptop

[elfin mural]

plus consoles

[onyx merlin]

Look Steam Machine once prices also come down after AI craze dies down will be overall affordable and a decent high end PC sure it wont be the mega best

but it will function fine for 1080-1440P gaming

.

[elfin mural]

..right

[bitter ridge]

Steam machine and highend ?

[elfin mural]

rx 6600xt perf is far behind an average 5060ti lol

[bitter ridge]

I think you are way overestimating the performance of the steam machine

[elfin mural]

the steam machine is coming out too late

[onyx merlin]

Why so many haters on Steam products here lol ? it runs Linux thought many of you would be happy... as I see usually many pro Linux users on here

and many who diss Windows

[elfin mural]

i don't hate steam

[opaque sedge]

Yeah its abt to lose its market soon

[bitter ridge]

Not hating just being realistic

[craggy shoal]

Yeah bean soup sucks I agree but idc

[nocturne flicker]

I'm not pro-Linux

[rancid juniper]

Still find it wild that AAA games ran on a custom FX chip for consoles

[elfin mural]

it's just that the steam machine came out at a wrong time for the performance it is told to give

[onyx merlin]

thats more AIs fault

[elfin mural]

that's a fact that anyone can't shake

[onyx merlin]

and Nividas

[elfin mural]

even without those factors, the steam machine would have to be $600 or less

[onyx merlin]

But everything is so expensive

[opaque sedge]

Shit just realized it might actually fail even if it comes at out a decent price, the thing is genuinely abt to lose its market soon with gta6 approaching

[elfin mural]

which is a difficult task to tackle to begin with

[onyx merlin]

gas groceries.... just world is pricey

[rancid juniper]

And now Intel wants to make dgpus for ai market, very nice

[elfin mural]

let's be realistic

[opaque sedge]

Cuz most people aren’t going to be buying two separate gaming systems

[onyx merlin]

I will go fire Intels CEO and make myself CEO and demand they make hyper powerful goverment level CPUS for just me and close friends.

[elfin mural]

i like good companies and all, but blindly cheering for them without a sliver of doubt is fanboy behavior

[bitter ridge]

I feel so vindicated for preparing way early for gta 6

[elfin mural]

just because a good company released a product that would flop, doesn't mean that the product wouldn't flop

[bitter ridge]

Hope Rockstar and Sony collab to implement PSSR 2.0 and make full use of it

[nocturne flicker]

And no word vomit about how 'it is actually super duper good and you just need to try a different distro trust me bro it'll be fine' despite it clearly not being tolerable for my use case is going to make me like Linux more. I just also don't like Windows 11

[rancid juniper]

All of that to run city skylines 2 at 60fps

[elfin mural]

i would have loved to see steam machine succeed.. but honestly right now it doesn't appear to be the case

the future seems bleak for the steam machine's destiny

[bitter ridge]

We will be lucky to finally get a release date

[elfin mural]

its hardware is already very outdated

if it even releases

[opaque sedge]

Which means… no steam controller v3

[rancid juniper]

L

[nocturne flicker]

Valve can absolutely still put out standalone gamepads if they wanted to

[elfin mural]

ya

the gamepads sell well at least

that's a good incentive for valve to make controllers

[onyx merlin]

wholy heck

I see 4080 Supers on newegg going for 1400-1600 bucks

[bitter ridge]

End of life product

[opaque sedge]

Its not just gta 6 lots of cool games are coming out and people who alr dont have gaming systems who were waiting for a sale or price drop (who in my opinion are the market for the steam machine) are gonna opt for ps5s or xboxs soon with a big part of that decision being due to fear of even more imminent price increases

Steam machine may have already lost its market

[onyx merlin]

not really I got one in late 2024 still going strong plus Nivida is pivoting to older models as they are now a datacenter company

[elfin mural]

if you get a new 4080 super right now, i would honestly facepalm and sigh

it's discontinued

[onyx merlin]

so using older types of Vram and less Vram in general saves them money

[heady plinth]

It's out of production.

[elfin mural]

it is no longer produced

go get a 5080, it's cheaper

idk why this is an issue in the first place

[onyx merlin]

I mean no reason to... I got 4080S

I game 1440P

[elfin mural]

i'm just talking in the context of buying a 4080S in this year and time

which is a discontinued product

[opaque sedge]

There was one yesterday on amazon for 1120… for a few hours shot back up to 1350 in the evening

The new pny slim model

[elfin mural]

there's nothing ai related to an older product being out of production

[heady plinth]

The fe sized one?

I would have expected that to be an upcharge.

[opaque sedge]

Microcenter (or macrocenter now with its macro pricing) has that model listed for 1400

[nocturne flicker]

A majority of console gamers were never going to go and get a Steam Machine period. Steam Machine was for the few who primarily wanted to jump ship from consoles no matter what or the people who wanted either a PC for their TV in their living room or something or just really want a small prebuilt PC

[onyx merlin]

but ya I dread needing a Decent PC by 2028-2030 or sooner depends on prices partially.

but ya everything just going up and up

I bet gas prices by 2027 will be 15-100 bucks per gallon

[elfin mural]

the harsh reality of a niche product

[onyx merlin]

gas already too pricey here in CA

[opaque sedge]

Hmm ur right so its appeal is more towards being a secondary system?

[onyx merlin]

like 6 something a gallon last I looked

I try to not refill my car until its almost empty

.

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-anime-sad-gif-27615865

[elfin mural]

an induced gas price crisis, ah yes

[onyx merlin]

to save money.

[elfin mural]

we have not seen that before

[elfin mural]

cough 1970s

[opaque sedge]

Yeah its just nvidia’s strat to inflate the value of their next product lineup

[onyx merlin]

my 2001 honda accord might be dead in another year or sooner.. having AC on kills engine if its stopped

[bitter ridge]

Crimson desert and gta 6 will go head to head at the game awards

[opaque sedge]

Low miles for an old looking dash ngl

[elfin mural]

i find gta 6 should be better anyway

it's made by rockstar

crimson desert is just made by some korean game company

[opaque sedge]

Its definitely gonna be more polished

[elfin mural]

they're entirely different scales of companies

[onyx merlin]

also new cars are like worst purchase a person can make in life from a cash standpoint as cars loose value rapidly

[opaque sedge]

Crimson desert is a burrito bowl while gta 6 is gonna be a feast

Crimson desert is honestly a cool game

But polish is very lacking

[elfin mural]

female protagonist is an interesting change for gta 6

[heady plinth]

Depends which car but yeah, mostly true.

[opaque sedge]

And they didn’t redo many of the stuff that should have been cut and redone like the intro chapters

[bitter ridge]

Oh boy certain people will lose their minds over it

[elfin mural]

yeah

[onyx merlin]

I am hoping Red Dead Redemption 3 will also have a female Protagonist when ever Rockstar makes a new one.

[elfin mural]

crazy people lol

[nocturne flicker]

I can't wait for the Austrian School to find some way to explain we should fix stagflation by doubling down on deregulation, spending and tax cuts

[elfin mural]

idc what gender a protag in a story driven game is, as long as the writing is decent

some people just care too much

[heady plinth]

The "Ciri isn't a witcher!!!!" people will be out in force.

[elfin mural]

misogyny is just sad

as well as other hateful behaviors

anyhow i shouldn't dive too deep into this topic

[opaque sedge]

Wbt hating on the absolute buffoons some PlayStation fans be

[bitter ridge]

Witcher 4 might be a next gen exclusive game at this rate

[heady plinth]

Horizon is great.

[onyx merlin]

Sadie Adler should be protagonist of RDR3. She makes perfect sense and is a total bad ass

[opaque sedge]

Hmm prolly not unless u mean epic store exclusive

[elfin mural]

i don't like to hate, i'd rather leave those buffoons be in their echo chamber

they wouldn't listen anyway

it's not healthy to waste my time and energy to argue with people who are stuck in their ways

i got better things to do than arguing

[opaque sedge]

Also ngreedia needs tech demos after all

[onyx merlin]

so I am guessing 5000 series stays current until 2028-2030 right ?

[bitter ridge]

No ?

[elfin mural]

nah

[bitter ridge]

We will have next gen of gpus before that

[onyx merlin]

I thought Nivida cancelled 6000 series launch and is keeping 5000 series around few extra years to focus on datacenters

[elfin mural]

60 series will launch sooner or later

regardless of ai datacenters

[opaque sedge]

Likely gonna go out of production at the end of this year or half way thru the next year if 60 series is delayed slightly

[onyx merlin]

huh strange

.

[heady plinth]

Probably some time next year.

[elfin mural]

super series got cancelled, so it's only logical the next gen would be in the works

[opaque sedge]

Nope nvidia canceled the 50 supers

[bitter ridge]

Sad that we didn't get the rumoured 18gb 5070ti super

[nocturne flicker]

50 super shall be 60 series.

[onyx merlin]

I mean likely would have costed 5-10k

[opaque sedge]

5070tis was supposed to be 24gb

[onyx merlin]

you might as well get a used car at that point

.

[bitter ridge]

Oh I am thinking of 5070 super then

[elfin mural]

5-10k? nvidia would be going bankrupt or they're better off not selling anything new lol

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-burnt-peanut-mhm-mhm-mhm-gif-4266639228818891588

[elfin mural]

no one would buy it, at least not in enough numbers

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/jesse-breaking-bad-walter-white-jesse-pinkman-walter-gif-16654937694077157239

[onyx merlin]

ehh fankids would eat it up at 5-10K and scalpers would sell it for 20-50k

[heady plinth]

It would be +50% vram on a card. Using 3g instead of 2g modules.

[elfin mural]

you should consider getting some rest man

these numbers are not making sense

[opaque sedge]

60 series is likely going to have a vram increase across the board tho or from 6070 and up

[onyx merlin]

Why would Nivida do that it would cut into efforts to built more datacenters

I can see a Vram decrease occuring

[elfin mural]

it won't decrease

[heady plinth]

3g gddr7 will probably get used so they can add ram and keep a cheap bus.

[elfin mural]

a decrease would instantly cannibalize sales

[opaque sedge]

Cuz 3gb gddr7 modules are available now

[onyx merlin]

but they are in love with Datacenters we gamers are afterthoughts

[elfin mural]

i think you are looking at things too negatively ngl

[onyx merlin]

no longer the cash cows

[opaque sedge]

And even they aren’t crass enough to decrease vram in their product lineup

They may keep it the same

But they wont decrease it

[elfin mural]

it's either gonna be the same vram amount, or increased due to 3gb gddr7 modules

[bitter ridge]

At some point they would have to move things forward

[onyx merlin]

DId AMD betray gamers or they still pro gamer ?

[heady plinth]

How many times have they decreased gen to gen? Is it just the 3060 to 4060?

[nocturne flicker]

I can't wait for my 3gb 6070

[elfin mural]

amd never really cared about gaming much

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/dicaprio-oscars-that-feeling-2026-gif-9415970968621726961

[elfin mural]

they kept shooting themselves in the foot

[heady plinth]

Companies have never been your friends.

[elfin mural]

^

[nocturne flicker]

Companies are food not friends, eat them

[onyx merlin]

wait 3GB model vram ? this DDR7 stuff must be good

[nocturne flicker]

[opaque sedge]

Uhh no they have a massive ego due to the position they hold in the video game graphics industry they certainly dont love gamers never have even bfr the AI boom but they’re not gonna let a market they have a clear dominant hold over go

[bitter ridge]

There might be pro gamer people within the company but the actual company isn't

[elfin mural]

gddr7 is already a thing since a while

3gb modules are new however

[onyx merlin]

they wont even work for games thought

too little vram.

[elfin mural]

eh?

it's per module

[onyx merlin]

needs at least 8GB min

12-16GB better

[nocturne flicker]

9 > 8

[elfin mural]

three of em and gpu already have 9gb

4 of em and you have 12

it adds up

[onyx merlin]

oh

[opaque sedge]

Its 3gb per module when it used to be 2

[elfin mural]

a "module" is a chip

[onyx merlin]

ahh I get it now was thinking it was only 3GB in total

[elfin mural]

it's not an entire kit

[nocturne flicker]

Higher density means higher price

$1.5k 6070 with 9gb

[onyx merlin]

humm

[opaque sedge]

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

[elfin mural]

15gb 6070 would be funny

[onyx merlin]

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/fadding-homelander-gif-16156538903600882075

[elfin mural]

a logical thing would be 12 or 18 however

15 is a weird number

[onyx merlin]

I mena it aint pretty or cheap but it could be afforded

more then 1.5K

[opaque sedge]

I mean… didn’t they do 11 with the 2080?

[elfin mural]

yeah

and 1080ti

[heady plinth]

160 bit bus.

[bitter ridge]

This looks like a new Msi ventus design

[elfin mural]

2080ti, but yes

2080s still has 8

[opaque sedge]

And 10 with the 3080/ti

They did have 12 gb models too tho iirc

[elfin mural]

yes

[heady plinth]

308ti was 12. And 3080 had versions with both.

[elfin mural]

those were very desirable

[opaque sedge]

Yeah 3080ti aged well

Saw vids with dlss 4/4.5 and it works really well

[elfin mural]

albeit runs hot but that's expected

gddr6x is hot

[heady plinth]

It's just that power budget that sucked on 30 series.

[proud jackal]

3080 3080ti was such a good card generation

[elfin mural]

they used a samsung node

that did not go well for efficiency

[heady plinth]

And the clamshelled ram for 3090.

[opaque sedge]

What does that mean? Did they have vram chips on both sides of the pcb or smth?

[heady plinth]

Exactly

[opaque sedge]

[bitter ridge]

You get 007 first light with it valued at $70

[heady plinth]

The back ones aren't actively cooled.

[elfin mural]

vram density wasn't as high as today

so it was a forced choice

[opaque sedge]

Damn, even amd didnt include a game with their 9060xt this gen, but it is significantly cheaper ig

[heady plinth]

3090ti fixed that. It's usually lower power cards that are clamshelled or pro stuff that isn't pushed as hard on clocks.

[nocturne flicker]

Theo_Yearns for the gpu shortage years

[proud jackal]

[elfin mural]

i forgot the 3090ti even existed

[opaque sedge]

Is the rtx 6000 pro clamshelled too

[nocturne flicker]

Theo_Yearns for COVID

[opaque sedge]

NO THEO DONT DO IT UR GONNA MAKE NGREEDIA INCREASE THE MSRP OF THE 60 SERIES ACROSS THE BOARD

[bitter ridge]

My restaurant suffered heavy losses during covid I was mentally so strained during lock down

[heady plinth]

There are 4 generations of rtx 6000. The new 96gb one though, yeah of course.

[nocturne flicker]

It must be done

[opaque sedge]

Restaurants in america still haven’t recovered iirc

[elfin mural]

i hate the quadro naming schemes

[heady plinth]

The 2000 one might have been a6000 actually so slightly different name way back when

[elfin mural]

i guess at least they specify the generation lol

rtx ada, rtx blackwell

[opaque sedge]

What was 30 series called again?

[nocturne flicker]

That'll be $30 for a 4 oz beef patty on a bun with 3 fries on the side

[elfin mural]

ampere

[opaque sedge]

10 and 20?

[bitter ridge]

Pascal and turing

[opaque sedge]

Ik one generation had a sickass name

Yes pascal

[dense locust]

Astral is probably the worst card for longevity

[dense locust]

Mid

[opaque sedge]

Rest are mid ngl

Rubin sounds cool tho ig

[rancid juniper]

Have y'all seen AMD GPU codenames?

[opaque sedge]

Other than the steam deck’s nope

[heady plinth]

3090ti was pretty forgettable, it was $2000, came out like 6 months before 40 and it just missed the boat for ethereum miners.

[rancid juniper]

Oof

[opaque sedge]

Aerith and sepiroth

I aint lying

Its actually aerith and sepiroth

For the lcd and oled

[elfin mural]

terascale is a cool gpu architecture name

at least from amd

[rancid juniper]

Polaris

[nocturne flicker]

Polaris is good star

[bitter ridge]

Ik 3090ti buyers who had extreme buyers remorse after 4090 came out

[elfin mural]

now they just call anything navi

[bitter ridge]

A gpu which is wildly better efficient and performance

[elfin mural]

they got lazy smh

Okay but what if next gen they call it Navy

[elfin mural]

Navi 5x

[rancid juniper]

AMD also had Cape Verde, Pitcairn, and Tahiti?

[elfin mural]

now that's what palantir would love to buy

for their ai surveillance

[rancid juniper]

Kinda goofy ngl

[nocturne flicker]

Now you get it

[dense locust]

4090 buyers were happy after 5090 came out

[rancid juniper]

XD

[nocturne flicker]

Or AMD calls their next gen something LotR themed and then evil tech bros who want to kill people will be all over them

Ez

[opaque sedge]

4080super buyers were happy when the 5080 was oos for months and had an overinflated msrp for much of the time its been on sale

[heady plinth]

No node shrink and minimal architectural changes did make 50 pretty disappointing. It was just 40 super duper the framegenenning

[elfin mural]

Zenith would be a cool gpu arch name

[dense locust]

Me who paid $1430 for a 5080

[dusk knot]

8.5

[opaque sedge]

U CURSED US

[dense locust]

And then paid $1600 for another 5080

[opaque sedge]

NOW NGREEDIA’S GONNA INCREASE THE MSRP FOR THE 6080

[elfin mural]

Zenith means something that is at the top, at the pinnacle

[dense locust]

I ain’t getting the 6080

I’m getting the 6090 because funny number

[elfin mural]

6070 gonna be gen alpha's favorite

jk

[opaque sedge]

[elfin mural]

they weren't joking with volcanic islands

those were hot gpus

[bitter ridge]

60 series is supposed to go up against project helix/ps6 two consoles which are targeting 5080 or higher performance

[opaque sedge]

Xx70 class cards have been historically popular even the 5070 sold extremely well this generation

[elfin mural]

fermi was such an efficient egg fryer for nvidia

you can cook your food and game

[opaque sedge]

5080? Srsly? The ps5pro barely targets the 5060ti

5070 maybe I would believe

[elfin mural]

$1000 consoles coming soon

yay

[bitter ridge]

An entire new console gen isn't going to have that little of an performance bump lol

[heady plinth]

9070xtish in next gen console seems pretty plausible.

[proud jackal]

i hope you like depending on upscaling because thats what next gen consoles are going to mostly be

[bitter ridge]

I do

[opaque sedge]

Still pretty high 9070xt and 5070ti are still insanely fast cards

[bitter ridge]

Upscaling has vastly surpassed native Taa

[elfin mural]

upscale your mo- nitor

[opaque sedge]

I still expect the next gen consoles to be underpowered especially given how much upscaling has improved and they will likely depend heavily on it

[bitter ridge]

People probably don't realize how gigantic the gap is between PS4 pro and ps5

Pretty generic which is not a bad thing since the bar for bog standard generic monitor is higher these days

[opaque sedge]

Could go with dell’s ips if its under 200

[dusk knot]

Oh great. Hope it’s adequate for your needs

[dusk knot]

I saw this peanut play apex legends on a livestream . It’s cracked

[opaque sedge]

Wtf cant find the dell ips

Did they discontinue it?

[opaque sedge]

Fuuuuu no way bruh… a peanut’s got more active neurons than me?!?

[bitter ridge]

Q27G40XMN went up in price from $249 to 299

Must be selling really well for a monitor to go up in price

[dusk knot]

Usually

[opaque sedge]

Yeah at that price its better to add 80-100 bucks and get an oled

Last gen oled ig

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSDxXgG7qp8 Just watched an episode of Star Trek TOS an Episode where Kirk deals with a Shakesphere group and trying to figure out a mystery murder plot. was Pretty good

[dusk knot]

Get an OLED

[onyx merlin]

that is original series theme song lolz

[dusk knot]

Oh!

[onyx merlin]

I mean I am only 30 but i watched TOS alot growing up

Dad had the whole 1997-1998 Sci Fi channel run taped on many tapes

that had the whole special interviews

with various crew members

[dusk knot]

I’m only 29 and I’ve seen all the shows

[bitter ridge]

Q27G40XMN is my default pick these days if someone wants a monitor under $300

[onyx merlin]

I own the TOS now on Blue Ray DVD the 2021 release

[dusk knot]

Nice. It was my parents as well that was responsible for me falling in love with Star Trek

[onyx merlin]

it lacks most of the special interviews from SCi Fi channel sadly

[opaque sedge]

ok looks like they reskinned their ips to look like a normal monitor still decent specs for the price

[onyx merlin]

but its got sick looking steelbox collection

for the DVDS first season is gold like Captian Kirk second season is blue like Spock and Mccoy

[opaque sedge]

only

[onyx merlin]

and Third season is red like Scotty

Nah he def sounds younger than that

I thought weary was 50 tho

Well more like 40

[onyx merlin]

ehh JP is just mature for his age... I mean I am 30 yet can act like a 14-15 year old at times.. People can act far younger or older then their actual physical age

[bitter ridge]

Like you wanting to go to Brazil

[opaque sedge]

Nailed it

https://klipy.com/gifs/theburntpeanut-the-burnt-peanut

[onyx merlin]

I mean could also just want to live in a more affordable country ?

America is pricey as hell these days

Or other parts of world lolz

[dusk knot]

Oof. Thats me

[bitter ridge]

You guys still have higher QOL than rest of the world

[onyx merlin]

umm not always.

[dusk knot]

Bingo!!!!

[onyx merlin]

America is only like that if you got perfect health and high income

If your a blue collar worker and health issues not so great

[opaque sedge]

For me family has affected my qol a lot… negatively

[onyx merlin]

I am a blue collar and I got chronic disease for rest of my life

aka Type 1 Diabetes

so life is not so grand like it is for those making 150-1M a y ear

lol

and no being mail carrier is not high paying job

I legit make only 59K its slave pay in lots of America

barley enough to live

and not very well

[opaque sedge]

59k is pretty good depending on what state but iirc u said ur in cali…

[onyx merlin]

so the whole myth americans have it far better then rest of world is not always true

and is partially a lie

[opaque sedge]

Rest of the world genuinely does have it significantly worse tho

[onyx merlin]

alot of rest of world wont end up on a streets from am ambulance ride and hospital stay due to universal health care in many parts of world

[dusk knot]

Brazil from my experience is livelier, cheaper, more culturally attractive, and the girls are more interesting than what I’ve seen in the US. I’m convinced. I don’t want to be a slave to the high cost of living here in America. I’ve already taken the necessary steps to do it as soon as the end of this year.

[onyx merlin]

in America no insurance or your insurance denying claims can bankrupt you

[opaque sedge]

Most wont even get an ambulance ride bro 💀

Rest of the world isnt europe

[random osprey]

belive it was brazil, but the mafia had to protect MJ cause the government couldnt for a music video

[onyx merlin]

I just get annoyed when people think all americans are living it up large they are thinking mainly of tech workers or hollywood actors/CEOS

not thinking of average blue collar american or even lower wage workers

[opaque sedge]

Heard people dont take out phones in bustling public streets in brazil with gangsters snatching em motorbikes or scooters

[dusk knot]

He’s rich…ofc he’ll be a target. He was recording in the slums of RIO

[onyx merlin]

I cant even afford my own home due to homes being out of reach for most part

unless you go to middle of nowhere in america for a run down shack

with huge commutes to the city

[opaque sedge]

That i can agree with

Life certainly isnt glamorous here for the avg and below avg earner

[dusk knot]

Heck no

[dusk knot]

Mmhmm

[opaque sedge]

Most of the luxuries these people enjoy is through credit card debt too

[onyx merlin]

my ambulance bill costed 5K and my hospital stay for half a day 9K all due to me passing out in bathroom from low blood sugar event and family calling ambulance cuz they thought I might have had internal bleeding in my brain from hitting it... luckily I got insurance so only like 750 bucks I had to pay for both services

Ambulance capped at 250 due to what insurance says

[opaque sedge]

What sucks about this is the potential that the general populace here cant reach

Genuinely feels like there’s a wall

[onyx merlin]

but if I had no insurance or my insurance decided to deny claims ? I would be out like 14K

14K is alot these days in this very bad economy

[bitter ridge]

Cheaper if you don't earn your money there

[dusk knot]

Weary has entered the chat….

[dusk knot]

US dollars. Yes

[nocturne flicker]

I had an ambulance take me to the ER because I sprained my back (not that I knew it was a sprain) and was basically unable to move and ended up on the floor. The ambulance trip there was covered and as such no fee. The ER told me we don't have big enough MRI but probably sprained back, goodbye dude practically paralyzed on a bed, take ambulance home 😊

The ambulance home was not an emergency trip so not covered, so free 1.1k bill

[onyx merlin]

but ya in future when I have other insurances I dont plan to ever use Ambulance unless no other choice I rather risk certain things then end up with insane bill I might not be able to pay or afford

[sinful blade]

Wife had an ambulance ride to the hospital 6 years ago that was $3000, her 2 different insurances different covered
Hospital covered

[bitter ridge]

Here we would love to have a leader like Mamdani leading things new yorkers are very lucky

[dusk knot]

When the system is more against you than for you. Sad

[onyx merlin]

ya not smartest move but from a moneystand point it can be worth it

you need every dollar these days due to high costs of everything

.

I rarely eat out anymore

due to costs involved.

[dusk knot]

Yep. Won’t stop me from living there

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind 1.1k is 5% of my yearly income before taxes, deductions and health insurance premiums

[opaque sedge]

Daily life feels almost dehumanizing here

[onyx merlin]

Ambulances are legit a scam overall and only should ever be used if no other choice... They really need to rework system

to Make Ambulances a more fair system

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/dispatch-phenomaman-phenomenal-phonemaman-will-remember-that-will-remember-that-gif-12117790562261069541

Cuz they are basically worthless as a service right now.

[nocturne flicker]

That is the point

You are a wage slave not a human

nobody wants to use them when so insanely expensive

[dusk knot]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-wrath-of-khan-david-marcus-kirk-james-kirk-gif-22127618

[onyx merlin]

and more people die due to this

if the goal is to actually save human lifes current ambulance system is broken

and actually encourges/incentivezes someone to die

or delay treatment

.

[dusk knot]

Terrible

Sometimes I wish I could leave planet earth

[onyx merlin]

they would find someway to tax you.

[dusk knot]

I’ll fake my death or something

[onyx merlin]

30 years from now they will have a birth/death tax.

Oh you died ? Your estate is taxed 30-50 percent of what its worth..

Oh you were just born ? parents gotta pay extra 20-40 percent

for year of your birth

[dusk knot]

Will happen tbh

Or something close

As the world values human life less and less as time passes

[nocturne flicker]

There already is an estate tax. It is reserved for people who had very large estates

[onyx merlin]

From a moneystand point and AI

replacing so many jobs human labor is becoming less valued

and people still produce too many kids

.

[dusk knot]

Ai was supposed to help us…but it’s a double edged sword

[onyx merlin]

I would say around 50-80 percent of humanity will not be employed in 40-50 years

[nocturne flicker]

The threshold has massively increased the past 10 years in order to minimize the reduction in generational wealth flow of the richest though

[onyx merlin]

they will either live on streets or starve to death from lack of food/water

The rich wont care unless the poor somehow overthrow and kill them horribly

I know its a grim future but its the one we are heading to based off current stastics and just looking at things.

We can delay this outcome or stop it possibly but it involves banning AI

or destroying it

AI will bring nothing good for humanity

only death and destruction and killing environment

[dusk knot]

You guys ever watched the film Eysium?

[onyx merlin]

AI consumes huge amounts of water

which is a limited resource

[nocturne flicker]

Tax started with estates worth $5.49 mil (or double if married couple) in 2017, the tax cuts in 2018 doubled both figures and now the tax starts at estates above $13.61 or $27.22 million

[onyx merlin]

I know I am right but many people will cry I am fearmongering

People hate it when others are right and they are wrong

And now I have killed chat.

what an achivement not really but meh.

[dusk knot]

It’s still alive

No longer.

[onyx merlin]

what do you think humanity will be like 40-50 years ? .. I am curious

you already know my stance on subject

.

[nocturne flicker]

Nope I'm dead, I will you my 10k in student loan debt

[dusk knot]

I’m shocked no one watched the film Elysium. its quite accurate I believe how our children’s children’s world might be. It’s horrible.

[onyx merlin]

what occurs in this Elysium ? Is it similar to what I just talked about ?

or is it like Skynet from terminator ?

or something else etc ?

[elfin mural]

skynet can't happen, but rather we'll have people blowing stuff up with ai-controlled weapons

[dusk knot]

Similar to what you said. No skynet

[onyx merlin]

We also need to get world population down to 1B-4B the 8 billion souls and growing is not good for enviornment or human race long term

[elfin mural]

an llm can never be smart enough to be sentient

[onyx merlin]

by getting numbers down long term we can conserve more resources

and ensure better health long term per human

[elfin mural]

oh don't worry about that, birth rates are already low

old people will die off and not enough babies will be born

[dusk knot]

Not if I die first!

[onyx merlin]

the only usefulness of having billions of extra people is to colonize space

sadly we are not at that stage yet

so its just extra drain on resources at moment

and resources are pretty scarce item long term

due to how Earth is falling apart in many ways

[dusk knot]

There’s plenty of resources, they’re just not being distributed and managed properly

[onyx merlin]

again thats not an issue anymore Foxy. you already see how rapidly AI is replacing people and Jobs the world population lossing billions in next 20-40 years wont matter as much as AI will be doing the work they use to do.

yes AI is bad overall but it can do work that humans use to by then

.

I still want it banned

.

[dusk knot]

Heavily regulated

[elfin mural]

companies are actually earning less profit replacing humans with ai rn

it still does a horrible job at basic tasks

[bitter ridge]

Which is why I think more of the world needs to adopt that 1 child policy which apparently China did

[dusk knot]

Huh

[nocturne flicker]

We do not need to depopulate, we need to properly distribute the resources at our disposal and shift the ways in which we gather and process those resources

[elfin mural]

we legit have trillions of dollars that can be distributed effectively

[dusk knot]

I said this

[elfin mural]

but nooo, the rich gotta be richer

[onyx merlin]

humm If one child only I think having a female would be most useful as I think someday sperm can be artifically created possibly... and having a female child the eggs can be extracted and babies artifically grown in tubes/labs.

[nocturne flicker]

The 1 child policy was an abysmal failure and has caused China massive issues

[elfin mural]

i think the 1 child policy became a 3 child policy

last i remember

[onyx merlin]

well I suppose but China will be fine if population goes down to American levels them having a billion people is too much and should never have occured

that is not a good number to have

.

[bitter ridge]

My parents parents had 7 kids and my parents only had 4 and with me it probably will be zero

[elfin mural]

look at the drop

death rate is overlapping with birth rate in china

and this is data from 2020

[onyx merlin]

again Foxy how is it bad if they suddenly ended up at current American level populations ? The only true reason people complain is no more cheap products from china.

which occurs due to China having such large population

[elfin mural]

i'm sorry, but what are you on about?

because i'm genuinely confused rn

[nocturne flicker]

It would literally cause societal collapse if China depopulated to that degree

[onyx merlin]

I just think its good thing overall if China and India or any country with a billion people or more ends up at American population levels within 100 years which is more substianiable

and practical for enviornment

[nocturne flicker]

Depopulation is not and is never going to be a solution to anything because we are not at a critical population point

[elfin mural]

china would collapse if they drop in population

[onyx merlin]

how if it occurs over 100 year period its better for environment

[elfin mural]

they control the world's economy in many aspects

[onyx merlin]

less people overall usually is better

for world

.

[elfin mural]

the environment? it's still cooked no matter if we depopulate or not

global warming still will accelerate

[onyx merlin]

Humm well you got point their foxy AI is accerlating that trend

due to it draining water

[bitter ridge]

Higher heat itself should help with depopulation

[dusk knot]

It’s not enough atm

[elfin mural]

humanity as a whole have already gone past the point of no return in terms of environmental issues

[bitter ridge]

More kids means more Acs to buy

[onyx merlin]

Elect me as world leader and I will change things drastically for the better lolz.... but then people might call me a Tyrant even if its better for long term survival overall.

[elfin mural]

microplastics are everywhere, and we're not sure what that means to us in a negative way yet

[onyx merlin]

one of my first steps as world leader is banning AI world wide

.

[dusk knot]

I have a bad feeling about this

[elfin mural]

everything in this world is pretty much contaminated with plastic

[dusk knot]

I’m thinking of a particular historical figure lmao

[elfin mural]

we legit have plastic rocks now

[nocturne flicker]

Bro wants to literally be Thanos

[bitter ridge]

I think even the most progressive president can't do this since it would put a hit order out on your head

[dusk knot]

I was thinking if the other guy, but yes lolololol

[onyx merlin]

I mean I only have best of intentions but I guess the path to hell is paved with good intenitons which can morph into other things... Humans typically dont handle power 100 percent effectively

[dusk knot]

Oh no

[nocturne flicker]

You don't have good intentions

[dusk knot]

[misty sparrow]

Imagine a theoretical worldwide one child policy

How would that play out

[elfin mural]

scary rock

[dusk knot]

I’m dying

[nocturne flicker]

You are actively trying to destroy our society via mass murder in a nonsensical attempt to fix the environment

[onyx merlin]

It can work but you need to have a female child not male... Sperm can be replicated in a lab eventually or can already be done I am not sure on that so dont quote me

[nocturne flicker]

Or at least want it

[onyx merlin]

but a female generally of any animal is more valuable then a male from a biological standpoint

[elfin mural]

plastic rocks are called plastistones

[onyx merlin]

Males are by nature meant to be more expendable

[elfin mural]

or plastiglomerates

[onyx merlin]

.

so if only 1 child most should be female.

.

[elfin mural]

that barbie girl song really ain't kidding

life in plastic, it's fantastic

[onyx merlin]

Its only logical

this is not an attack on anyone

[nocturne flicker]

Global economic and societal collapse after a long enough period if you could some how magically enforce it

alright i think we should drop this whole uh

how to lead the world thing

[onyx merlin]

ok if you think so.

Foxy.

[elfin mural]

cuz it's getting a bit.. out of hand

[dusk knot]

Agreed

world go kaboom, humans try to travel in space to find a new planet

Hopefully its not smth super self optimistic like making it as a youtuber or game streamer

but i fear they'll die in space anyway

[nocturne flicker]

Nope, no humans in space

Spent all the money on AI

[elfin mural]

right

[dusk knot]

I will become a cockroach to survive.

[opaque sedge]

Its gonna be lord of the flies in those ships or maybe another cultural reference idk abt which pertains to greed of a few who then oppress others to enjoy a surplus of resources

[nocturne flicker]

Also going back to this they completely abandoned the policy of limiting children in 2021 and started subsidizing childbirth

ya know i got a strange question to ask and i hope no one gonna ignore this, two years ago, i got a steam deck (LCD) and yes brand new if anyones curious and i enjoy it but..... one thing what bugs me is the oled, now it's not because the wide screen or anything but the 12 hour battery while the lcd is 8 hour and i wonder if i shoudve got the oled instead, and to make it worse it's sold out (even sold out two years ago as well) and unknown when's it's gonna restock and don't get me started with the high price and all no thanks to ai (if ai is involved with this) and i kinda wondering if it's ok to have both steam deck lcd and oled or upgrade it like transfer my data and all to the oled? clarify but i do got a legion go and the steam deck as well

i don't mind the ping as long someone gives me an answer

[bitter ridge]

They should turn rt reflections on by default for ampere and later

[sinful blade]

Someone will probably answer by morning(EST)

[sand hill]

i'm gonna hope there

[ashen swan]

I might get a Sony 1 Mark 7

[lethal jasper]

Not as successful as yours unfortunately

Tbh i did have 8 fans and 3 drives to connect

[sweet valley]

dawg don't do it. you're indecisiveness is legit insane.

[bitter ridge]

Nice to see I am not the only one who noticed it

[ashen swan]

dawg why are you back here

Is it normal for greys to flicker when watching yt shorts or yt videos not in full screen

Also what’s these lines it only shows on google searches

[craggy shoal]

There should be a channel for this kind of question, but I can answer it quickly
Nvidia GPU? Yeah I had this when I was using my 4070 Super. It's not as bad on my 9070 XT though

[unborn wind]

Oh it’s not a hardware issue

[craggy shoal]

Nah. It's just an Nvidia thing

Hold on I have a program that might be able to help it a little

[unborn wind]

Is that with Google search or yt? Or both

[craggy shoal]

With everything. But less noticeable in games

[unborn wind]

I never see it in games or full screen YT

Only yt shorts or non full screen and at start of google search loading

[craggy shoal]

I'm pretty sure this is it:

I was wondering if my monitor had burn in or wherever but I don’t think it is a panel that can burn in

It’s had burn in b4 once of ps logo but went away rlly fast never seen burn again

[craggy shoal]

It won't load on my AMD GPU for some reason though. It's one of the toggles (literally one of the checkboxes) that makes the dithering a little more bearable

[unborn wind]

My monitor is IPS

[craggy shoal]

ok

[unborn wind]

I don’t think IPS get burn in

[craggy shoal]

Yeah you're not getting burn-in

[unborn wind]

only once

And that went fast

I think it fixed after turn off and on ngl

[craggy shoal]

Nah that must've been a bug

[unborn wind]

wasn’t even on screen very long

Yeah

If I unplug the monitor while it’s on it shows red

when it’s losing power

Was told that’s normal

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that sounds normal

[unborn wind]

like what it’s displaying goes light red

Lmao

[elfin mural]

flickering grey sounds like it's gsync flicker

[craggy shoal]

That "burn-in" was probably just the liquid crystal layer still being turned on while the backlight is turned off (if this is the case, you have very healthy eyes)

[craggy shoal]

Trust me. It's just an Nvidia thing lol. Not exactly g-sync

[elfin mural]

i disabled g-sync and that solved my flickering problem on my laptop

[craggy shoal]

It's not a flicker. It's more like gradient of YouTube's ambient mode

[craggy shoal]

Sick display

That's very nice

[unborn wind]

Nice photo but I just realized how bad that is for my pc lmao

[craggy shoal]

Is that water vapor, or smoke?

[unborn wind]

smoke

[craggy shoal]

I think smoke is fine (just don't do it all the time lol)

[unborn wind]

Vape

[craggy shoal]

Vape isn't smoke

[unborn wind]

yeah I won’t bahah just for the photo and video

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's bad for the PC

[unborn wind]

Oh

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[unborn wind]

It’s fine as long I don’t do anymore I think?

like I doubt I did any harm so far

It probs went into my radiator lol

[elfin mural]

oh yeah i looked at the vid

yeah that is youtube ambient mode

[craggy shoal]

I got used parts from a friend who used to vape and all of the parts smelled lol. I think I got an ROG Crosshair motherboard from him and it eventually stopped working after a few months of using it. Sad because that board is probably worth at least $250 (it's just an X570 motherboard)

[elfin mural]

you can turn that off if you want

[craggy shoal]

It's not as bad on AMD GPUs

[unborn wind]

I wanted a good photo lmao it’s like a 1h ago dw

[craggy shoal]

Probably bro:

[unborn wind]

For the vid yeah frr

[craggy shoal]

bro was puffing

[unborn wind]

My gpu is sticky

it has stick from sticker dw

how do I clean it safely

[craggy shoal]

Bro stop vaping around your PC. You'll kill it 😭

[unborn wind]

It’s from a sticker from manufacturer

[craggy shoal]

Oh gotcha

Uhhh

[unborn wind]

Weird I’ve never seen it before until few days ago and I’ve had pc since march

[craggy shoal]

Idk I've never had to clean a GPU like that. Consult Reddit

[unborn wind]

Someone said q tips and isopropyl

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that might work

[unborn wind]

dip the q tip

[craggy shoal]

99% IPA btw

[unborn wind]

Then wipe very well lmao

Nah I’ll just pour the bottle onto it

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I always use paper towels if there's a lot of IPA left

[unborn wind]

My dumb ahh used a paper towel when stick was there that’s what that white bit is

💔

interesting how my aio has a coil whine type sound and the liquid sometimes sounds like a waterfall lmao but no leaks or nasty sounds someone said RMA but other guy said it’s moving liquid chill tf out lmao

[craggy shoal]

I know Goo Gone would work, but idk if that's a good idea for a GPU (probably not a good idea)

[unborn wind]

Dw abt it?

unless temps are bad or stupid or if leak

[craggy shoal]

Don't worry about it. I've had my AIO for a few years and it's been fine

[unborn wind]

It’s normally at the top of aio

[craggy shoal]

The coil whine is weird though

[unborn wind]

Dw it’s installed right

[craggy shoal]

What's the make and model?

[unborn wind]

Segotep beaced 360 argb

I thought it was my ram bc I never noticed it until I got new ram

but ram can’t do that apparently

[craggy shoal]

Interesting choice (idk whether Segotep is good yet lol)

[unborn wind]

Temps are fine

Also find it odd how task manager aio screen and case screen all say different cpu usage

ig it’s just bc usage is changing every millisecond it can’t keep up the screens ?

[craggy shoal]

AIO screen is probably reading a different component

[unborn wind]

Maybe

[craggy shoal]

(Or just measuring it differently)

[unborn wind]

sometimes it says very similar

[craggy shoal]

How much of a difference is there?

[unborn wind]

Sometimes it’s off by alot

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

[unborn wind]

Rn it’s off by 4% of what screen shows

[craggy shoal]

Segotep moment probably

[unborn wind]

Probs

IMO it’s just delays not keeping up

[unborn wind]

I think it’s mostly this

[elfin mural]

task manager doesn't measure the cpu's actual usage

[unborn wind]

Because task manager sauces so fast

[unborn wind]

Oh fr?

it says % tho?

[elfin mural]

it's just an estimation based on how much the cpu could idle

[unborn wind]

oh

[craggy shoal]

TIL

[elfin mural]

it's based on what worked well for very old cpus

the single core days

[unborn wind]

my case screens died for gpu usage

It always shows 0% I’ve removed it and re added same issue lmao

and no it’s not integrated

software issue

[craggy shoal]

GPU usage is always a weird one to obtain

[elfin mural]

if the cpu is very busy, task manager could report 100% usage

[unborn wind]

when my pc turns on it’s at like 22c-24c

that’s so good?

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

[elfin mural]

that's a pretty good idle

[unborn wind]

it barley goes over 60 in my games

[craggy shoal]

Yeah you're good

[unborn wind]

average idle after is 30ish

[unborn wind]

Highest is like 72 but doesn’t stay that high

[velvet summit]

my fans only start spinning at like 70c

[unborn wind]

Why can’t I get my gpu die anymore? On msi afterburner my old pc could

[velvet summit]

huh

[unborn wind]

Not just this pc

[craggy shoal]

Bruh my GPU fans weren't even running when playing FH6 at High settings at 1440p

[velvet summit]

wdym gpu die

[craggy shoal]

GPU needs to die

[unborn wind]

someone told me it’s not normal for my games to crash randomly when playing 4k
