Is T-Force ram bad?

grim talon
#

They think so

#

It’s really not

hollow prawn
#

Vulcan yes >:(

grim talon
#

That’s just ram that works bruh if you want a cheap kit that works there you go

modern coyote
#

Doesn’t seem bad

hollow prawn
#

Not if it doesn't work

modern coyote
#

Reviews are good

grim talon
#

Mr1 you said you’ve had 2 doa rams right?

#

From Team?

modern coyote
#

hollow prawn
#

modern coyote
#

hollow prawn
#

Not stable above 2133

modern coyote
#

Almost went with t force ram

grim talon
#

Maybe you just got faulty kits bruh

hollow prawn
#

I'd return if it was doa lol

grim talon
#

I know it’s like “aaa 2 in a row not a coincidence alshdlwjfifj” but it can happen

hollow prawn
#

I thought it worked fine at 3200mhz

#

:p

#

Then bsods came

#

And 2666 worked for most games

grim talon
#

Then return it cause obviously that kit isn’t working properly

hollow prawn
#

But rust and division 2 crashed

#

Was sad

#

It was sad

#

Didn't know it was ram issue for a while

grim talon
#

Then return it cause obviously that kit isn’t working properly

hollow prawn
#

That's why I can't return

grim talon
#

Wdymmm

hollow prawn
#

a while

grim talon
#

Oh

hollow prawn
#

And I didn't know RMA was a thing

#

@grim talon look, I have a refurb mobo, every problem I got at first I blamed on mobo

grim talon
#

But you know now so the problem could be solved if it ever happens in the future

hollow prawn
#

Kinda

#

I'm really sus by team kits now

#

Because they can work at first and then you realise bad

grim talon
#

That can also happen with any other company

So newegg black Friday ad has the msi radeon rx 5600 xt gaming mx for 240 but when I click on it, it's at 317 and on the site it's sold out but on the app it's still there but there's no price reduction. I tried using the promo code too and it doesn't work??

#

A bit panicked cuz this is the graphics card I want for the price I want 😂

glad pasture
#

I've been a Google Music subscriber since the beginning

severe inlet
#

They might be getting ready to stop stadia and are getting rid of the last controllers. So they might be gone

#

Mine is showing not eligible now too.

Promise it's legit though lol

i believe theres a tuf g19 with a ryzen 7 4900h and a 1660 ti for 800

oops wrong price

ew a i5

fresh cobalt
#

i mean i5s still have 4c/8t and are pretty much equivalent to i7 U/G processors

frail wagon
#

Ryzen isn’t very common in laptops

fresh cobalt
#

yeah id say the most mainstream one with Ryzen is still the G14

frail wagon
#

And i7s aren’t worth the extra price in a laptop

#

It’s like $300 more

fresh cobalt
#

yeah i would say they aren't worth it unless it's an H variant

hollow wolf
#

can someone help me in getting a good gaming laptop under 850$
@snow dagger I mean- 1 grand is the sweet spot for gaming laptops

snow dagger
#

what is meant by that can u elaborate

hollow wolf
#

if you can increase your budget

#

to 1000$

#

then that's better

#

because then you can get a laptop that's perfect for content creation, with a ryzen 7

fresh cobalt
#

yes 1000 is prime target

#

BUT you can get a refurb 1000 for 850

#

if you're willing to go used

hollow wolf
#

pros not

#

i wouldn't do a used laptop

#

the kbd, trackpad, usually are worn, and it feels gross

fresh cobalt
#

i mean refurb doesnt always = used, just find one in satisfactory condition

hollow wolf
#

I know

#

but that's hard on a laptop

fresh cobalt
#

???? theres 2020 refurb ones you can buy

#

so they aren't really worn

hollow wolf
#

not what I mean

#

but sure

fresh cobalt
#

like ofc i dont recommend used entirely

#

but any laptop that's on a main retailer usually holds up easily so doesn't hurt

My local computer store has a 1070 for $20

#

Combining that with his trashy case for free combined with a 250gb hdd and a kind of sketchy 1000w psu, his x99 combo for $80, and my 128gb ssd for $20

That’s like a awesome build for $120 woag

20$?

If yes, cop it

I'm here waiting for 6900xt

Probably gonna get one next summer tho tbh

I would get one but they will prob be sold out in nanoseconds

cobalt viper
#

Bots make gpu go brrrrr

cyan lintel
#

fax

#

I have a radeon gpu

#

and its bottlenecking my stuff aparently

cobalt viper
#

Ooof

#

Which one?

#

And which cpu?

cyan lintel
#

AMD Ryzen 5 2600x

#

and Radeon RX 5500 XT

#

I wanted to upgrade my cpu aswell

#

in prep for cyberpunk

#

@cobalt viper

cobalt viper
#

Thats seems pretty decent. What compoents are bottlenecking which?

#

I myself have a 2700x and a 2060super

cyan lintel
#

My friend said my GPU was bottlenecking

cobalt viper
#

Mobo chipset?

cyan lintel
#

I think the cpu and motherbaord maybe?

cobalt viper
#

My friend said my GPU was bottlenecking
Doubt

#

Mayyyyyybe if you have a 300 series chipset

cyan lintel
#

He said it was bottleneckin

#

Idk how

#

but i still want to upgrade regardless tbh

cobalt viper
#

Yeah, i dont think so.

#

I want to upgrade to lmfao

#

But its hard to save money ;-;

cyan lintel
#

My motherboard can support 64gb of ram but im running 16 rn

cobalt viper
#

Yeah same

cyan lintel
#

thinkin about 32

cobalt viper
#

Dual channel right?

cyan lintel
#

Yeah

cobalt viper
#

3000 mhz (minimum)?

cyan lintel
#

I think its a dual

cobalt viper
#

Running at XMP?

cyan lintel
#

No idea

tulip havenBOT
#
Your Dirty Little Vegetable#4015 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

cyan lintel
#

except the basics

#

jesus

cobalt viper
#

So dual channel means two sticks of ram in your pc

cyan lintel
#

yeah

#

2 and they are spaced

cobalt viper
#

One stick in the second slot and one in the last slot

cyan lintel
#

cause i use ryzen

cobalt viper
#

And xmp you have to enable in bios so your ram runs at more than 2133 MHZ

#

So it can run at the speed advertized

#

Because memory bandwidth can be a HUGE bottleneck for ryzen if its too low

cyan lintel
#

Never knew that

#

I thought my ram just ran as fast as it was advertised

#

at default

cobalt viper
#

Yeah you should enable it then

#

What mobo do you have?

cyan lintel
#

I think a B450

#

MSi

#

I

cobalt viper
#

Okay lemme search up the manual

#

tame tree
#

Is this a good price

fresh cobalt
#

just get the 63$ WD one

#

i think it's worth the premium

cyan lintel
#

go for 1tb

cobalt viper
#

@cyan lintel

cyan lintel
#

im gonna have to zoom in on that

#

so if i dont do this i wont be achieving the full power of my cpu

cobalt viper
#

Yeah

cyan lintel
#

Am I overclocking?

cobalt viper
#

All you do is go into the Advanced mode, OC tab and enable A-XMP

cyan lintel
#

it says sumthin bout that

cobalt viper
#

Am I overclocking?
Technically, yes but it does it for you

#

Thats why you leave the RAM freq on Auto

#

Then it'll run at the Advertized speed

cyan lintel
#

I dont like to overclock, as I like to have a quiet experience and cool temps

tame tree
#

@cyan lintel how much would a ssd with dram cost for 1tb

cobalt viper
#

Its only OC'ing Ram

cyan lintel
#

look around

#

different websites and their prices

cobalt viper
#

It doesn't even add any heat to the system

cyan lintel
#

really?

cobalt viper
#

I can touch my ram's pitiful heatsink and it is just a little warm

cyan lintel
#

So Im not overclocking my cpu, rather my ram?

cobalt viper
#

Yeah

cyan lintel
#

cant that decrease the lifespan?

cobalt viper
#

Nope

cyan lintel
#

okay.

#

how do i go into advanced mode

cobalt viper
#

Only if you try to run the RAM Abovr the advertised speed

#

Oh uhh lemme check

#

Oh there's a tab that just OC

#

There's an advanced tab, its the one next to it

cyan lintel
#

how do i access it

cobalt viper
#

Just click it

#

Or use arrow keys

cyan lintel
#

What do I click?

#

Im confused lmapo

cobalt viper
#

The OC tab

cyan lintel
#

what that

cobalt viper
#

:/

cyan lintel
#

:/

cobalt viper
#

The Overclocking tab

#

Next to the advanced tab

#

You click on it or navigate to it using arrow keys

cyan lintel
#

How do I access that lmao

#

I have no idea how to get to that menu

lethal swan
#

that's the bios, depending on your board press the specific button when booting your pc

cyan lintel
#

I just press the power button

#

on my tower

#

to turn on my computer

cobalt viper
#

Wait you mean to enter your BIOS?

#

As your PC is turning on spam F5

#

Or F2

#

Its delete sorry

cyan lintel
#

I just turn in my pc with the power button and it boot up to windows lock screen

cobalt viper
#

Spam the Delete key as your PC turns on

cyan lintel
#

theres an arsenal gaming thing before that

cobalt viper
#

Yeah

cyan lintel
#

OH THAT

#

Jesus christ

cobalt viper
#

Yes, that

#

The second you press your power button, spam the Delete key

#

Then you'll enter the BIOS and can stop spamming

cyan lintel
#

okay then i just follow what you said above

#

Also

cobalt viper
#

Yep

cyan lintel
#

IS there a faster cable than a sata cable for my ssd download speed?

cobalt viper
#

Nope

#

Unless you have an M.2 SSD

#

There may be a Faster SSD tho, it depends

cyan lintel
#

okay, cause at this point. I dont know what is better than what i have currently

#

or if there is something better

cobalt viper
#

As long as your SSD has Dram, your basically good.

#

You can get an upgrade with an M.2 SSD with DRAM

cyan lintel
#

ah okay.

#

just wondering

What is drag clicking?

hollow prawn
#

you drag

#

and you click

lone depot
#

You can get like 40 to 50 cps by using this method of clicking

hollow prawn
#

you put a piece of tape or something on the switch

#

and drag over it, causing it to click

lone depot
#

You can do it without tape but with tape is easier

jolly fern
#

Oh.

lone depot
#

If you play minecraft it's pretty good

#

So nobody wants the mouse. I mean it originally costs for 70 dollars and I am selling it for 50 dollars so it's a good deal.

Offerup, they selling one for 200 and 2 for 400

fresh cobalt
#

jeez

#

very good deal

tawny swallow
#

Ight, once I sell my current build(prob this weekend) I'll upgrade from a gtx 980 to that

#

How much do they normally go for anyway? Like how much would you be willing to pay for it?

fresh cobalt
#

let me think

#

probably 300

tawny swallow
#

DAMN

frail wagon
#

Its basically the same as a 2060

tawny swallow
#

Rly?

fresh cobalt
#

nah it's better than the 2060

frail wagon
#

So yeah that’s a great deal

tawny swallow
#

NANI WHAT

#

Ima look this up

fresh cobalt
#

it's just a worse 2060 Super

pallid saddle
#

dont pay mroe than 250

fresh cobalt
#

^

pallid saddle
#

200 is average on offerup

tawny swallow
#

I see, it seems to be very close, sometimes losing and sometimes winning to a 2060.

fresh cobalt
#

honestly

frail wagon
#

It also has more vram though

fresh cobalt
#

2060s have held their value stupidly well for being almost 2 years old

#

theyve depreciated like 50 bucks and that's it

lapis cloak
#

ok

frail wagon
#

Nothing has replaced it yet

lapis cloak
#

so someone offerng me a build

#

for 3500$

frail wagon
#

Is it custom water cooled?

lapis cloak
#

a rtx 3080 with a 19-10900k

#

and a 344hz monitor

#

lemme check

frail wagon
#

I can’t imagine spending more than about $2500 on a pc

tawny swallow
#

Ikr

fresh cobalt
#

damn 344 hz?

frail wagon
#

How much extra benefit could you really get from an extra $1000

fresh cobalt
#

i thought they were like 360

#

ikr

#

i think past 1500 on a self built PC your tradeoff is too high

frail wagon
#

Yup

lapis cloak
#

it doesnt say but i think it isnt

fresh cobalt
#

pretty sure 1500 can get you a 3080 3700x 16 gigs 1 tb ssd 750w

#

and a decent case

lapis cloak
#

its a good cash

#

case*

fresh cobalt
#

i wouldnt spend over 70 on a case

#

even if it came with all the fans

frail wagon
#

If you want a 3080 you’re pushing $2000

#

But yeah it’s about right

lapis cloak
#

rtx 3080 with a i9-10900k 10 cores 20 threads
ram is 16gb ddr4 dual channel
Z490 Asus TUF - PLUS WIFI motherboard
Storage: 250GB M.2 SSD
power supply 750w gold

frail wagon
#

No

lapis cloak
#

and a 344hz alienware monitor

#

no?

frail wagon
#

Don’t buy that

lapis cloak
#

ok

#

ill keep lookin

#

also how much is a i9-9900k?

frail wagon
#

$300 from microcenter

lapis cloak
#

ok

#

ryzen?

#

9

fresh cobalt
#

400

#

on microcenter

lapis cloak
#

ok

frail wagon
#

5900x is out of stock

fresh cobalt
#

im talking about 3900x

frail wagon
#

same with 3080 though

tawny swallow
#

I just found a gtx 1080 blower style for 210, but I'd prefer not to go blower style.

lapis cloak
#

ok

cyan lintel
#

aby really cheap prices on ryzen 7s or 9s?

#

any*

fresh cobalt
#

Blower's kinda ugly and has worse thermals but I mean it's still 210

frail wagon
#

Ryzen is too popular to be cheap now lol

tawny swallow
#

Yea

cyan lintel
#

dang

fresh cobalt
#

yeah intel prices are actually competitive with Ryzen rn

lapis cloak
#

i saw a ryzen 9 for like 500$

frail wagon
#

If you want cheap you gotta buy intel

tawny swallow
#

Do u think it'd be worth the extra money with it being a blower style?

frail wagon
#

It’s reversed now

cyan lintel
#

I multitask

#

so I dont really want an Intel CPU

fickle elbow
#

just pick yaself up a 3080 + r5 5600x combo for like 1500 ez

cyan lintel
#

if i could get a 3070 or 8-

tawny swallow
#

Where u gonna find a 3080 for more than 900

cyan lintel
#

80

frail wagon
#

Well if you can get a 9900k from microcenter

lapis cloak
#

ok i saw

frail wagon
#

That’s a solid multitasking cpu

fresh cobalt
#

Id choose 3700x over 5600x ngl

lapis cloak
#

the same thing detals i said before

fresh cobalt
#

2 cores but sacrifice a bit of game perf

frail wagon
#

Otherwise, yeah buy Ryzen

lapis cloak
#

for 3000$

cyan lintel
#

theres no microcenter near me lol

#

Id have to drive 2 hours

fickle elbow
#

what's ya budget

frail wagon
#

Then wait a week for Black Friday

cyan lintel
#

this is for christmas

#

im tryna give my mom a list since she wants one

lapis cloak
#

what's ya budget
@fickle elbow me?

fickle elbow
#

no i meant @cyan lintel

lapis cloak
#

ah

fickle elbow
#

do you have a general budget in mind

cyan lintel
#

Id like to keep it below 800 USD

frail wagon
#

No, his mom is buying it lol

fickle elbow
#

for 800 you could do like a r3 3100 and a 2060

#

something like that

cyan lintel
#

I need to upgrade my gpu for sure

frail wagon
#

I’d go with 3600 + 1660 super personally

#

If you’re multitasking

cyan lintel
#

I do schoolwork, listen to music, and watch youtube alot

#

some at the same time

fickle elbow
#

i'd only go 3600 in a 800 build if i can get a good deal on it

#

cuz rn its sky high

cyan lintel
#

I have A Ryzen 5 3600x

fresh cobalt
#

you could sacrifice frames for a 2600 lol

cyan lintel
#

no the 2600x

#

my bad

fickle elbow
#

ew 2600

frail wagon
#

Then don’t buy 3100

cyan lintel
#

my first build

fickle elbow
#

2600x will work fine

fresh cobalt
#

you can actually get 8 cores for only 220$ with a 2700x

cyan lintel
#

yeah

fickle elbow
#

does the budget include that cpu

cyan lintel
#

Yeah

#

I am willing to replace the PSU if needed so my stuff dont explode lomao

#

lmao

fresh cobalt
#

what is your psu

fickle elbow
#

what psu you got

cyan lintel
#

EVA Gold I think?

#

I lost the box

#

something like that

#

I built this PC back in March

fresh cobalt
#

i mean im assuming it's fine

fickle elbow
#

evga is generally like meh on psus

#

whats ur gpu ?

fresh cobalt
#

but 500w is cutting the corner

#

if that's what you have

cyan lintel
#

top is gpu

#

bottom cpu

lapis cloak
#

i found a ryzen 3 3100 and a gtx 1650 super for 840$

#

lol

cyan lintel
#

jesus

fresh cobalt
#

what a prebuilt or what

lapis cloak
#

yeah

#

prebuilt

fickle elbow
#

not good

lapis cloak
#

clearly

cyan lintel
#

for 800

#

Jeez

fresh cobalt
#

i do remember seeing some prebuilts on discount one time

#

where the components were cheaper than pcpartpicker

#

so if you are getting one make sure it's on discount ig

cyan lintel
#

some prebuilts are good some are not

#

they have to pay for labor

fresh cobalt
#

i think i saw a 9400F 1660Ti build for like 800 which is way better than r3 3100 1650 super

#

but that was a while back

lapis cloak
#

i saw a 2060 super and i5 for 1200

#

isnt that better/

cyan lintel
#

i5

fickle elbow
#

which i5

cyan lintel
#

Wouldnt say ba

#

bad

fresh cobalt
#

for 1200 thats horrible

#

i legit see one rn on amazon that has a R7 | 2070 Super for 1350

lapis cloak
#

i5 0400f

#

9400f*

#

aalso see a 6600k for almost same price

fickle elbow
#

i'd rather build a 3070 + r5 3600 for 1k

lapis cloak
#

also*

fickle elbow
#

ez

lapis cloak
#

i

#

built a pc

fresh cobalt
#

well yeah if you can get your hands on a 3070 that'd be nice

lapis cloak
#

i while ago

#

its still good but like

#

i want better ig

cyan lintel
#

ah

fresh cobalt
#

why do you want to buy an entire prebuilt then

#

cant you just upgrade

cyan lintel
#

companies are sumthin special

lapis cloak
#

why not lol

fresh cobalt
#

if your case doesnt look trash and your motherboard supports new components

#

then i dont see the purpose

lapis cloak
#

idnl the case much

#

the motherboard is fine

fresh cobalt
#

my friend crammed a 2070 super in a early 2000s tower and it works fine

#

and still uses an old motherboard that supported a i5 8400 and upgraded it to 24 gigs ram

#

i mean if you dont care about costs then sure

cyan lintel
#

i want to watercool a early 200s case

#

2000s

#

and have it be a beast

#

piping dreams

fresh cobalt
#

they look absolutely horrid just saying

#

he had to stick a fan outside of the case because it didn't fit

tawny swallow
#

I just found a 2080super for 600. With the 300 series release, is this still a good deal?

#

3000*

fresh cobalt
#

no

#

you could wait a few months and 3070 will be 500

tawny swallow
#

I see, when would the 3000 series be back in stock? Since I figure they'd sell out rly fast

frigid ivy
#

Not sure if anyone posted this. Also idk if it’s even a good PSU

fickle elbow

@lone depot not really you can make a solid 3070 build for slightly over 1k

lone depot
#

yeah but rgb = more fps

fickle elbow

@lone depot it's 1000$

lone depot

mm ping when u see a stock @lone depot

lone depot

@hollow wolf

#

@hollow wolf
@lone depot k i got one

#

thank you

fresh cobalt
hollow wolf
#

good to know amazon actually has a bit of stock for a while

#

@lone depot do you have a link like that for 3080?

pure lintel
#

that is terrible

hollow wolf
#

it's bad

pure lintel
#

burn the laptop

hollow wolf
#

mm yes

#

i saw an asus laptop with much better spec

fresh cobalt
#

I think MSI couldve designed it better but specs are specs

lone depot
#

yeah

karmic rivet
#

thats not a bad laptop

#

its great for the price

hollow wolf
#

ryzen 7 4800, 1660 ti, 500 gb pcie, 16 gb ram, 144hz screen, for 1000$ in asus laptop

pure lintel
#

no its terrible

karmic rivet
#

antago thats more or less the same...

#

except less storage

#

and AMD

#

lol

lone depot
#

they like the ballsack 20 tag man

fresh cobalt
#

you realize the 10750H is better than the 4800H

lone depot
#

strix and gaming x trio

karmic rivet
#

the 10750H is better than 4800H in single core and worse in multi core
which is to be expected, ofc
in a gaming laptop, it's better
i think its 2% faster in overall bench too

fresh cobalt
#

yeah but Ryzen laptops are generally cheaper

karmic rivet
#

im talking abt 1k$ ASUS laptop thats AMD against 1k$ MSI laptop with better specs thats intel

fresh cobalt
#

yep it's intel

#

not sure how both stand up with battery life

karmic rivet
#

battery life isnt that much consideration on a gaming laptop because gaming laptops have super fast charging and draining batteries anyways imo

#

lots of power draw kekw

lone depot
#

just flatten out a car battery and put it on the underside of laptop hook up boom KKona

hollow wolf
#

battery life isnt that much consideration on a gaming laptop because gaming laptops have super fast charging and draining batteries anyways imo
@karmic rivet not rlly

#

charging is normal

fresh cobalt
#

could be useful at University, they dont have chargers in every lecture hall sometimes

hollow wolf
#

what I need

#

is a laptop with wireless charging at bottom

fresh cobalt
#

so it'd still be preferably to get at least 5 hours a charge as a baseline

karmic rivet
#

lol

hollow wolf
#

my school has wireless charging desks in labroom and i wanna charge more than my phone

#

robotics

#

not lab

fresh cobalt
#

Lmao just wait till Apple gets rid of chargers as a whole

#

and makes it wireless charging only

lone depot
#

they wont

#

ever

#

wireless charging in phones in so incredibly slow and will stay that way

fresh cobalt
#

It's slow but it definitely has potential

lone depot
#

no

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_charging

Inductive charging

Inductive charging (also known as wireless charging or cordless charging) is a type of wireless power transfer. It uses electromagnetic induction to provide electricity to portable devices. The most common application is the Qi wireless charging standard for smartphones, smart...

#

some parts are a good read

#

if you've taken an electricity & magnetism course

lone depot
#

the charging is limited by size usually

#

they aren't gonna invest a crap ton of money into wireless because wired will always be faster

fresh cobalt
#

wireless vs wired mice barely have a difference now

#

who's to say the same can't happen for phones

lone depot
#

thats like comparing a orange to an orangutan

#

you aren't transfering power with wireless / wired mice

#

you're transfering data

#

wireless has the advantage of range

#

anyways

#

im off to shleep

fresh cobalt
#

correct, im just naming a case where the "wired" community always believed in superiority to the "wireless" until they came out with mice that really have indistinguishable response times. I think that wireless charging via phone is still in its infancy and likely going to be inefficient for the next few years, but who knows? they have hundreds of millions of dollars going into improving the resonant system and decreasing resistance so wireless might be close enough to wired in a decade

pure lintel
fresh cobalt
#

plus with fast charging allowing phones to charge 50% within 30 minutes, you're charging it faster than you are using it anyway, so I'm sure people would be willing to sacrifice some inefficiency for wireless in the future

pure lintel
#

hey guys look a 3070 for normal price

im joking

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE QUOTE

tame tree
#

@hollow wolf so is this worth it

#

Or this one

spare wave
#

second one

tame tree
#

What’s wrong with first one

hollow wolf
#

@hollow wolf so is this worth it
@tame tree they both worth- one is sata, other is nvme... that's a bad nvme tho

spare wave
#

slower

hollow wolf
#

get mp34

spare wave
#

i mean

hollow wolf
#

it's the same price as the other m.2

spare wave
#

the nvme will still typically be faster

tame tree
#

Idrc that much about 3 seconds lol

spare wave
#

but yeah go with the other nvme

hollow wolf
#

mp34 or pci-e 4.0 or nothing

spare wave
#

its more than 4 seconds i think

#

lmao

hollow wolf
#

Idrc that much about 3 seconds lol
@tame tree if it's the same price and increases ur fps by 30%, u should :)

tame tree
#

@hollow wolf bro what

#

It doesn’t increase FPS

#

Lmaoo

#

Storage has nothing to do with FPS

hollow wolf
#

directstorage

#

ofc it does

spare wave
#

lol

tame tree
#

What ?

hollow wolf
#

oh I see you aren't up to speed

#

haha

#

see what I did there

spare wave
#

🍿

hollow wolf
#

3000 mbps is much better than 500

#

and in games, directstorage is coming to windows 10

tame tree
#

Yea but it doesn’t effect FPS

hollow wolf
#

no it does

#

that's what direct storage is

#

allows storage to go directly to gpu instead of passign thru cpu

#

effects fps, a lot

tame tree
#

bro what

hollow wolf
#

omg I don't have time to explain the concept of directstorage to you

#

google it

#

or watch a linus vid or somethign

spare wave
#

Correct me if im wrong, but I believe since the data will go to the GPU first, the images will be faster or sharper than if the CPU rendered it first, just because how graphisc work?

#

thats an assumption though im probably wrong

hollow wolf
#

ok

#

so

#

normally

#

when u have storage, it sends it thru the cpu first b4 going to gpu

#

with directstorage

#

it'll send game data directly to gpu

#

ONLY FOR NVME DRIVES tho

tame tree
#

So what’s wrong with this one

hollow wolf
#

that's bad

#

has no dram

spare wave
#

wait fr

hollow wolf
#

and it's slow for a nvme drive

#

bad controller

tame tree
#

It’s 3000

hollow wolf

only for the first 250 gb

last 250 gb will be potato

@spare wave 70$ for 500 gb not worth
