Over the 3070 yes
kk sweet i’ll go for that
hopefully it stays that price for the next couple weeks. gotta return my 6800xt still
canada 😌
😔
Hey guys I may need some help
I'm trying to test audio on my pc and have no sounds. I checked and I do have an HD audio driver installed
It does show this message when I open sound settings
How exactly are you connected to speakers?
I...knew I forgot to get something...lmao. I'm not used to having speakers, having been a laptop peasant for so long
OK new question, a good affordable brand for speakers 😭
If your monitor has speakers built in you want to use the hdmi audio for that
Hmmm I'm not sure if it does or not
I'll look into it
It did obviously use an HDMI and that is plugged in, but idk if it has speakers or not.
Because of the quiz for tickets to win a PC
lol
I had school today I didn’t want to do it
Lol you're good
I just discovered my monitor didn't have audio so don't even stress
Lol
If you win send me 10% of every pc part

Specifically 10%, if I get 12% I stg

I second this.
can just get logitech speakers for now. edifier makes good ones and they’re like a hundred bucks ish if you can afford it
My gpu is a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 TI and my cpu is a AMD Ryzen 5 5600 I am thinking of having 2 ram sticks but 4 would be cool for future upgrades. I would like to be able to have a m.2 slot which can fit a Samsung 970 EVO plus.
before i bury myself in google id like to ask if someone has a recommendation i am thinking of getting a mATX size mobo with wifi
2 is better for uphradability
I would get the b550 pro vdh wifi
Ram, 32gb 3200c16 silicon power would be fine, or if you want rgb there's a 32gb teamgroup kit with rgb
Ssd, p31 or s70 imo
Similar price to 970 Evo plus while both are betger
i was thinking 16gb ram for this system
using 2 out of 4 slots
and if i notice that i need more ram id get more basically
i am usually good at keeping my ram usage low
You don't already have a motherboard? Also ram is pretty cheap nowadays I would just get 2x16gb ram instead
Adding ram is iffy tbh
Oh your mistaken me i have not gotten the other stuff yet
i might have worded the thing a bit weird
You haven't bought anything yet?
Due to the ram would be different ages right?
No but they are in stock and could be at my door in a week or two
good
Different ram dies
Ah
time to set up a build pato 😛
whats that?
i currently am here sitting with no computer parts other than a mouse and headphones
I have this very old thinkpad that is basically dying i wanna get something before it explodes
help pato with your budget, so he can tailor you the best bang for your buck
glad you didnt have anything yet
I am quite flexible with my budget around 1700 Euros. I live in finland is a good thing to add
Nice place to live
I can't send a screenshot of my spreadsheet
But yeah Pato has you covered
is there a way to let me send something?
do you work?
I think mine are open
also... you care about wifi and/or rgb?
You can't send links and pics til your name turns green
i understand the caution
@jagged ember i sent a friend request
you can unadd me after this is if bothers you.
Try sending a dm directly
did not work
The yellow means i am unsure
the green means i am quite sure
and the uncolored i have not even really started looking at yet
Relayed
@rugged wharf what sites can you get parts in finland?
all I can see on pc part picker is Jimms but i am sure theres more lol
Jimms is good too
but i prefer verkkokauppa cause i can buy stuff in store
plus in store stuff would be cheaper due to no shipping needed right?
depends on the store, some stores have free shipping
that is indeed true
lol
Anybody here ever fix laptop keyboards?
Really? I just need 1 stabilizer,
those little parts are pretty hard to find
Ohhh
ill brb gotta do some irl stuff
What about a screen
will take a bit of time
screens are only to be replaced when they die
yo chrome isnt translating the verkokka site can you send a direct link to the components section of the site?
Even if the liquid is smiling all over the place?
but you can easily spot one by looking up the part number
@rugged wharf before you go ^
I have no clue how to do that, is that under the serial number of the laptop?
I have no clue how to do that
then look at part number behind it
PH fudge
nbm i found all good
Hmm, I need to look it up then, I never done it before, I really don't want to pay $400, to fix a screen and $200 to fix a keyboard
hmn
I'm going to take the time to fix it myself rather than pay them that kind of money
yeah nah, that's a huge scam for the price they ask
replacing screens aren't too hard
but the keyboard is the hard part
weiirid idk why
you have to take everything apart to even get to the keeb
like bottom cover, motherboard
Let me show you what I mean to replace, I get your point thougg, in order to be able to I have to take apart everything since it's all integrated
you can probably order a new palmrest and keyboard combo
they go for 30-60 i think
the parts mostly come from china on aliexpress
You know what I'm talking about right the, plastic piece mis shaped somehow and won't fall back into palce
Place*
To take a apart the screen turn off the laptop and remove it then,..
All right let me look it up and do that
you really only have to unscrew a few screws on the bezel
then pry out the bezel cover
bezel is the part that surrounds the screen
Okay, give me a moment to shutdown and unplug my laptop
i suggest you looking for guides tho
i can't help much cause i don't have the laptop
Okay
I saw an acer predator hellos 300 the model is slightly different from mine as far as the keyboard and speaker placements but nothing is where the screen on the laptop is
@obsidian wigeon hey now what
I removed the bezel
Found it
here is a link
to a mobo
oh nvm
It's from Amazon it gave me the same model name as my laptop

i am not really that sure about intel
but everything else looks fine
also do you know if it would make a lot of sound?
whats wrong with intel
no i have just had bad experiences with them that's all

12600k is far and a way better than the 5600x
fans there shouldn't be loud
Question, it says it's 40 pins instead of 30 pins are all lcd screens have a 30pin or 40 pin version?
It's some company in China and I'm scared to buy 😆 🤣
you should definitely try to find something that explicitly lists compatibility with your exact laptop model
doubt that those pins are standardized
Okay, I will try then
What prince range should I go for?
Also nice nexxon muskie pic

Guys is this a solid setup? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/squirrelpowered/saved/#view=2J3npg there’s also a motherboard included it’s a b450 motherboard with updated bios it’s free I’m getting it from a friend
Hey I’m looking to upgrade my pc I recently bought a 3080ti but my power supply doesn’t support does anyone have and recommendations
The card is 3 8pin while the one power supply I currently have is 2 6pin with one of them being +2
what is the best cpu and gpu combo?
depends on what are you planning to do with the pc
6 cores is more than enough for gaming, you could use a 12400f or a 5600 as your cpu... and for gpu that depends on the resolution you wanna play: 1080p, 1440p or 4k
no matter the gpu any of those 2 cpus will pair it nicely
6600 or 3050/3060 are good cards for 1080p, 6600xt/3070/6700xt are good cards for 1440p and 6800xt/3080 are the cards you want for 4k
any of those gpus will pair well with either a 12400f or a 5600
is a 3060 ti good for 1440p too?
ah ok ty
amd cards rn hold the best price/performance over nvidia, the only reason to go nvidia over amd is if you need the cuda cores for cad applications, everything else is fairly tied (dlss/fsr/rsr/rt and the coders/encoders)
tyytyt
Not sure about the ray tracing
Nvidia still has way more experience in utilizing their tensor cores for that
ray tracing is a gimmick this gen anyway
and fsr/rsr is almost at the same level as dlss at this point in the cycle
Mm
I can’t say if fsr is wonky on fh5
But it always overexposes my game
So I can’t see anything under the sunlight lol
But yeah they’re pretty similar
yeah it varies from game to game. even dlss is kinda weird on some titles
True
Dlss1.0 on control is super weird with the fans in the sewer section
But they’re also now on dlss 2.3

oh the irony
at launch people were saying never get the 3070 over the 3060ti
6950xt struggles to tie with 3070 in most rt games
but again, rt is whatever
even as a 3090 owner I find it difficult to care about rt
yeah, 60ti was the best price/performer for 1440p on those dark days
its a solid build, you can swap that cooler for an ak400, the case for an mx330 and the memory for a corsair vengeance 3200c16 kit
save like 100 cad in the process
ill do something like these, not entirely sure about the psu tho https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/KT7ByK
PC Builder - AMD Ryzen 5 5600, Radeon RX 6750 XT, Cougar MX330 ATX Mid Tower
maybe there is a cheaper and more capable psu for that build
/imagine prompt cat
?
He’s trying to use midjourney
That was when it was supposed to be $400, which it still isn't to this day
even then, i never understood why people say the performance difference is so small
was the 3060ti better price/performance? usually
was the 3070 a significant performance boost? yes
Is your change better other than the price than the other build?
Anyone on that can look at my build before i but it? New to this btw

giant wall of text
pcpartpicker is a lot nicer to look at
and straight away, corsair peripherals aren't great
D15 isn't usually the best option nowadays
bruh d15 isn't that bad
:P
I also own one
3800x

I ran 3800x at 1.45v
Budget and country
Could be usd with a terribly priced gpu selected
ye
Also d15 is basically just a more expensive ak620
Still a good heatsink, just overpriced
Though I'd get a pa120 at $35 over either of them any day
It's like 2c better
I got my clc 280 for $60
I've bought two ssds in the last three days
Both for laptops, one for me one for my brother
Ye, I bought the clc before I knew about arctic b stock
Honestly depending on how hot my next cpu is, I might just buy a pa120 and sell the clc
Hi
PC Builder - AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, ADATA XPG INVADER ATX Mid Tower
is this setup ok for a first setup?
I can't get a dedicated graphic rn bc of inflation + shipping taxes
What country are you in?
Colombia
Check this out, if you can afford it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NQpnNc
PC Builder - Intel Core i3-12100F, Radeon RX 6500 XT, BitFenix NOVA MESH SE TG ATX Mid Tower
Though jt is a decent bit more expensive
I'd get that then, since shipping on a case will suck
Any way you could buy a cheapish gpu locally?
Ex 1050 ti or similar
1650 super and that 6500xt don't have ship taxes
but anything better than that
has taxes
6600 is 250 usd in amazon + taxes it goes up to 320-330
😦
1650s/6500xt are both going to be worlds better than igpu
What about this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rswnNc
PC Builder - Intel Core i3-10100F, Radeon RX 6500 XT, BitFenix NOVA MESH SE TG ATX Mid Tower
Will be a good bit better for gaming than just a 5600g
also, is a 4core processor good enough? or should I just save a bit more for a i5
what a good 1080p monitor
It's fine, especially paired with a 6500xt
The gpu will be the limiting factor in that build
G241
It's more about the specific processor than how many cores it has
That too, the 10100f is fine to pair with a 6500xt
Alr I'm out
I've gotta be up at 6
how this one its also sell money on amazon let me check newegg
Look at rtings reviews
$179 for the G241 on amazon and newegg
well since its gunna be main monitor its just gunna be straight not much movment
my laptop screen is 1440p on a 3060 mobile so FPS is meh plus screen small so i wanna pair it with a 1080p monitor
screen came with 1440p most modern systems now adays have 1440p built in
it sucks
bc thats what screen came with it i thought it was 1080p given the gpu inside of it but asus made laptop not me
Rommy it's worse than you think too
didn't i tell you to avoid all 1440p+ laptops like the plague
boi all 2022 laptops are freaking 1440p so dont give me this crap
yeah that's just not true
Weren't you looking at 4k monitors earlier

i was just asking around
I dont care
Then don't make a blanket statement when it's false
Like
What you said is objectively just not true
Asus as a whole is kinda meh, when you consider their pricing
Legion has... terrible pre builts. Their laptops, some of them are good
thats why they have like tuf and zeph im guessing
Audible sigh
wym some laptops good there legion series 5 and 7 are good
Obviously their 1600p 3060 laptop isn't good
Because 1600p with a 3060 on a gaming marketed laptop is just plain stupid
Mhm
Now 4k on a tablet or phone
That's just pointless but arguably less stupid
Since you're not actively losing performance
and like i said laptops really domt come with 1080p for some reason new laptops with ryzen 6000 series and intel 12th gen i looked around maybe gigabyte or msi have some but then you get into worst battery life or lower gpu wattage
K
bruh
i looked into gigabyte laptops and such with performance/battery life asus and legion have good settings that allow you to disable gpu to be able to save battery if needed
To clarify, are you gaming on the go
Or is the laptop used for purely non gaming outside of your home
no i just said disable the gpu
So...
Computer and a $250 laptop
I literally just got a $70 8th gen i3 laptop for school
Better battery life than any gaming laptop
And skips the issue of all of whatever the f that is^^
yea but with ddr4 you have to get laptop with with non soldered ram so that you dont get single channel ram
Did
yea but when i wanna game I wont be able to
Kenzie
Ram cannot be soldered if there is nothing in that slot
It is physically impossible to have soldered single channel non upgradable ram
but some laptops come with soldered ram
does the 6500xt model matters?
oke
wym no yes they do
If there is nothing in the second slot
What is soldered into that slot kenzie
im not talking about second slot
Kenzie
im talking about soldered ram on laptop
YES
KENZIE YOU ARE SO CLOSE
Soldered single channel is upgradable
Because there is a second slot
if you mix 8GB and 16Gb kit on ddr4 the ram stays into single chanel
thats not what @visual notch said
Well escanor was wrong, and even if so
Literally just put a second 8gb stick
But it's not right, 16gb will run in dual channel
yea but i need more then just 16GB ram
And when you go above 16gb ram usage it'll run in single channel
do all laptops run dual channel?
No
oh
And why didn't you keep a gaming pc and get a dirt cheap laptop?
bc i never had a gaming pc to begin with
Excuse me what
I had 8gb extra ram installed in my laptop and I don't feel anything different, apart from being able to use chrome with games
12100f 3050 to 12100f 3080, the 6700xt, 3080 ti at some point
How much did the laptop cost btw?
bacca
Hi
the 12100f/6600xt pc isnt for me i told you i build it for friend
I can get the i3 w 6500xt setup for 745 usd, that's like 60-70usd more than the one i sent you before with the igpu
but it's way better right
This one?
And can sub in the case you can get locally?
yeah but with the 12100F
Whoa now, I explained, via Floppa's little insight actually, that it runs in dual channel up to the maximum supported storage capacity of the smallest module x2
12100f is a lot better than 10100f, but that one also doesn't come with wifi
Let's not put words in my mouth.
Would have to get ds3h ax b660 for $125 to get wifi included
why does wifi matters
If you're using ethernet, it doesn't
not everyone has ethernet
I don't
Then you need wifi
then you'll need it
i asked you if you have soldered ram on a laptop DDR4 and you put 16GB stick in second slot it turns ram into single channel
you never had alphabet soup??
😦
yeah
Then I'd just get a mobo with wifi included
then you need wifi lol
Sigh, no I stated that it does dual channel up to 16GB in the case of 8GB soldered, and beyond that, it runs single channel.
lol
i actually watched a video where someone did that
that adds up to a total of 780 😭
if you can afford the 12100f it's worth it
^
yes but like i said if you have 8GB soldered ram you can only add other 8GB stick to keep dual channel but if you add high ram it turns it into single then
the difference between 10100f and 12100f is huge especially with a 6500xt
raptor lake i3s won't exist apparently
Well, yes and no. It runs dual channel for the first 16GB, and then single channel ONLY AFTER that.
hm
heard that it'll be similar to the i3-10105
where it's just a refresh with +100mhz but on the old arch
yeah
i3-12105 i guess
I don't mean to buy a raptor lake
ah
what he said was immediately what i understood
well thats not confusing at all
it's not
just saying maybe prices will go down a bit since they'll use the same chipset
you're just confusing it lol
i wouldn't expect price drops on i3s to be so significant that they're worth waiting for tbh
i'd just buy now
I didn't even have any context
so then if you have 16GB soldered and add 16GB stick it will be dual\
I meant on boards
it's always dual
Kenzie, it's easy. If you have 8GB soldered, add a 32GB stick, you will have 16GB of dual channel memory, and the remaining 24GB would be single channel.
Then 10100f
flex mode be like
until you use 2* the amount of ram of the smallest stick
^
then it's single channel past that amount
but on ddr5 it doesn't matter much
perf difference between one or two stick is minimal enough
cause one stick runs in "dual channel"
DDR5 is odd, 4 sticks actually degrades performance.
yeah lol
Well, right now it does
Yeah for now
4 sticks can degrade performance on ddr4 as well
just run 2 and you're good
Future, probably not
With new imcs it might be fine
Yeah, but much more niche case.
didnt pato said 4 sticks of ddr4 does same thing
it's just much more situational and much less extreme than ddr5
To a lesser degree.
DDR5 takes a nosedive with current IMCs
aka Alderlake
screw this pcs hard im getting a tablet
lol
lmao
😆
Yeah, for ddr4 on recent cpus it might be the difference between 3600 and 3200. For ddr5, it's the difference between 6000 and 4400
have fun using an ipad
time for kenzie to daily an overclocked raspberry pi
raspberry pi ready for xoc
talking about soldered ram, adding another stick of same size will make it dual
soldered ram is still ram
My dream laptop: 7900HS processor (12 core), 4080 mobile, 32GB DDR5-6000
it's just that it'll soldered onto the board
mmm, rgb cooler for raspberry pi
instead of being a stick
Thanks, bye now.
My dream laptop is a 7600hs with no dgpu
mine is whatever zephyrus laptop you're using right now
for that price you got it at
lol
LOL
I WANT THAT
damn
sigh....i really dont wanna say bc i could have built a 6900xt system for the amount but i got impatient i wanna build a desktop with 4000 series but i wanted something RN so i could play games i got bored of staring at my 4 walls after the internet borked itself now i cant watch tv needs internet bc we dont have cable
shee
Nah, 6750h
I'm not going to say what I want to say to this
what

But just to clarify, OVER 1450?
no
my dream laptop: 13600HK, 2x16gb overclockable ddr5, 4080M, no battery, 4 usb-a, 1 usb-c, hdmi, full size DP

Well, Amazon screwed up on their end when I bought my Zephyrus. So I got it for $500. lol
So it was a super win
im inpatient
so not a laptop?
oh yeah, factory liquid metal as well
desktop, literally
hehe

a portable desktop yes
1,421.99
lol
Zephyrus series has LM by default on both CPU and GPU
i will fight you
with nickel plating over the copper
haha
i have a zeph
i want strix quite a lot tho
factory LM isn't a big enough draw to be a defining factor, but it's a nice-to-have
Oh, you got one finally?
i'm comfortable enough doing LM on my own
Very nice Kenzie. NOW KEEP IT
top 3 most important features for me
- 1080p high refresh screen
- overclockable ram
- high TGP
are you planning on returning it again?
i just want a laptop with nice screen, high tgp and good cooling
maybe by how you people talking

O.M.G. It's like one of the best screens on any laptop, lol
HAHAHAH
Kenzie, you're hopeless
look you can't blame us when you've literally returned almost everything you bought lol
1440p on a laptop is not good for gaming
1440p is the problem here
I need peoples approval
1440p is fine on a laptop
1440p gaming on a laptop is fine with a 3060 or better.
It tanks fps while not really benefiting from the bigger screen size that normally comes with 1440p
this isn't a 1650 tho
Just use DLSS or FSR
it's 3060 with 130w tgp
my games dont have it
okay but what is the benefit from 1440p
You're covered.
1440p is fine
Either?!
do you sit 1 inch away from your screen?
look sharp
i don't say i want it
very sharp
laptop is 3060 100W 1440p
100+30
have you ever used a high res laptop screen
You ever seen a Zephyrus 1440p screen IRL? It's incredible.
not just 100
no, and no to nvidia man
My 1080p laptop looked SO crisp
i couldn't tell even 0.01% of difference between 1080p and 4K on my 15" laptop
1440p is fine if laptop has higher end gpu and tgp
I see no point to over that
plus 20 but no my cpu HAS to be 15W for dynamic boost inabled i already tried it all
Hang on.....
otherwise 1080p
exactly, zero actual benefit of 1440p, only downsides
i don't care how "fine" it is
like ill load up game really quick
it's pure downside with no upside
I have actual pictures of a G15 with a 1440p screen, and it's evident from the pics how sharp it is.
why compromise
i've tried using something similar to 2k on a 14" screen though
Entirely depends on the game. And I don't think that's true a lot of the time
stuff looks real sharp
1080p 15" is higher pixel density than 4k 32" already
this 1080p on a 17" screen looks way less sharp
again, are you 1 inch away from your screen?
okay, fair enough it was a surface pro
but look surfaces are ass anyways
noo you've summoned SB3 man
im fine with 1440p, but the added cost is unacceptable for me for the perf compromise
lol added cost
1440p option would have to be at least 50% cheaper for me to even consider it
1080p models of same laptop costs considerably less
compared to that of 1440p counterpart
i know, and it boggles my mind that people are actually willing to pay more for a worse product
just because bigger number
well, sometimes they simply force you by making high color gamut and brightness 1440p only
it's evident on so many laptops
yeah, my 1080p screen has excellent color/image quality
it's the problem i hate
That's a 1440p G15
300 nits 1080p with bleh color gamut
300 nits is listed as a con on my laptop
and contrast
It's just the focus on my camera, it was SOOO crisp
but i have to use it at 25% brightness or it hurts the hell out of my eyes
compared to my 1080p zephy
just adjust brightness lol
i don't know what kind of human beings actually want 1000 nits screens
I run at 100% brightness, but I have LR lights on too, so.....
they must be trying to go blind by age 25
hdr tho
no one actually runs 1000 nits
LISTEN I HAD TO DIG THROUGH 1000 PICTURES TO FIND THAT. lol
cause it would destroy your eyes
300 nits is already unbelievably overkill for me
are yall gaming in the sun while intentionally trying to point your laptop screen directly at the sun or what
idk
hdr with 1000 nits screens aren't bad for the eyes at all
they just bring out more detail
1080p >>>>>> on laptops.
Hands down.
I'm sorry 😞
id prefer 720p over 1440p on a laptop lol
The 2022 Zephyrus laptops actually have 16:10 screen ratio, which I appreciate.
4K I can accept. 1440p? Questionable. It's like HD on a phone vs non-HD kinda difference, yes, but it is noticeable.
a lot of people run 125% app scaling at 1080p, which makes your working space effectively 864p
720p obviously isn't good, but i think it's less bad than 1440p
it looks much worse
1080p on laptop is 125% and 1440p is 150% zoomed haha
yeah, it doesn't make any sense to buy a 1440p screen just to scale up everything
I might just return laptop and get 1080p laptop 
1080p on a 15" screen is already perfect sharpness idk who needs more
Now I gotta drive another 63 miles to return it
do you want 4k 24" desktop monitor?
1080p 15" is better pixel density than standard 4k desktop monitors
I drove to another state to go to a best buy that had this laptop I'm very inpatient
i still don't see any reason for phone screens above 720p tbh
i ran my old phone at 720p on its 1440p screen
couldn't notice any difference in looks
but i noticed the 4 day long battery life
Phone screens are fair game
my new phone is 1080p so i can't really downsize that to 720p without looking bad
1080p is already enough indeed
and 540p is getting sus
my new phone has no resolution control, only refresh rate
What's difference from 5900HX vs 6900HS
it's 120hz but i never use the 120hz, it's always at 60hz
But the genshin
6900hs is faster
and i don't play genshin on phone anyways
but i wouldn't say it's worth it
dude
Actually? That’s dumb
unless that laptop with newer cpu has mux switch
if i play genshin on my phone it runs 1080p60 ultra no problem
for 10 minutes
and then i get a temperature warning
and then it starts stuttering
lol
phone cooling go brr
gaming laptop overheating memes are so dead now
let's make gaming phone memes
Now it’s phone gaming overheat time
yep
Where’s my rog phone
It does have much switch
With the phat fan
just carry this around, downside is that you'll have to fight off all the women while you game which is very distracting
? you telling me anyone will be able to resist this
my ex had to come with me to fight off all the women in the starbucks when i brought my test bench to run benchmarks on a 5700xt in the middle of the starbucks
Surfacebook3. Imagine a macbook with windows but it has an actual GPU & terrible thermals
shoebox one?
then i would just get the newer one, if price isn't too steep
not quite a shoebox but yeah
@obsidian wigeon well there also this which is cheaper has 140W 3060 with cpu being 35-45W as well and 1080p screen which being cheaper over all......I think I made a mistake
yep
that's better but still not good
you can get 3070 for that price easily if you just go for previous gen cpu that doesn't bottleneck the 3070 anyways
Hm
but lack of mux tho, that can hurt it
no point overpaying for ryzen 6000 and ddr5 with ampere
no mux on old gen too
you mean this
yea but battery life
E
the battery is 48.9whr or something
what do you even need batt life for
i honestly don't see the need since you're gonna be using it at home constantly
okay look when you've got the sun in your eyes because your window doesn't have shades
I wanted a laptop that will survive on battery so I don't need to habe it plugged in Constantly
Let me try into what I wanna say one moment
Yea but gigabyte lacks that kind of
the windows one bro
does the b660m ds3h ax allows to run the 6500xt on pcie 4.0?
Oh cool
also, I read online 6500xt is not good for streaming, why?
don't consider that card
oh no
you aren't serious about the 6500xt are you?
just get a used gpu tbh, much better than way
I can only buy that or the 1650 super 😦
6500xt is slower than 5500xt
used 1060 will do
because it doesn't have hardware encoding
I don't know where to buy an used gpu in my country, but thanks for the feedback
it's laptop gpu, hence no hw encoder
what's that
and why is it important
amd planned to make igpu on the apu handle encoding
important for video
it is important for video and streaming
literally any video you watch needs decoding
software encoding is very slow
and encoding is for streaming yeah
ohhh
hardware side is much less resource intensive
software encoding or decoding uses more of your resources
funny as it sounds
hmm I'll look for used gpus
rx580 8gb or 1060 6gb would be optimal goal
floppa running rtx voice on his 580 lmao
also, that aoc monitor
1080 now
tru
@obsidian wigeon But what I wanted to tie in is I wanted to get a laptop That can play legal light games so I was talking to computer and He said a 3050 or like 3060 would be better than an IGPU system So I was looking around for like 3050 Laptops and stuff and I came across like came across like this 1 30 70 laptop but it was kind of near the price of a 3060 laptop top I did buy a 3060 laptop for about $1000 I returned it because the GPU wattage was too low....... What I wanted to get was a laptop that can still pretty much gain but it's also good on battery when you need it too.... I want to have a desktop that's mainly for gaming and then a laptop for the other work I needed to do But say I want to go to lake the beach when it turns nighttime or whatever I can game game a little bit before going to bed or whatever only or whatever only a 3060 laptop instead of like carrying the desktop everywhere
I used voice to text sorry if some stuff doesn't add up
basically fully compatible with Nvidia gpus
not a concern
but there might be some slight little differences I don't understand
Mother Superior will be able to assist if needed
if you wanted a portable gaming device
steam deck
for the price/perf ratio
i would bite the bullet
if it's just light games
and go 3070
Yea but I don't like small screen
Yea that is cheaper then any of the other ones but how much performance boost in there from 3060 140W vs 3070 130W
a lot
Hm
it's not 80w 3070 vs 140w 3060
I'd also consider getting mother Superior opinion on this
that has same perf
he's the nvidia expert lol
I feel like the higher power 3060 mobile would be better but I don't know where I'm getting this idea from
no
not at all
at only 10w diff the 3070 can still stretch its legs
if it's 80w however, it gets neutered basically
Mostly I was just looking for a laptop that can do light gaming so 3050 should be fine ig but the prices near 3060 laptops I did see 3050 laptop for $569 but its out of stock mostly I would like desktop to me main gaming machine and then laptop can be secondary if needed
3050 is fine too
I got zeph bc it's looks cool and Escanor said it was good
pretty well
zeph is good overall
that is true
but do you really need all that compute power
that's the only thing
if it's just medium gaming the 3050 would work too
obviously need to turn down some settings for the 4gb vram
but imo not like I'm playing halo infinite at ultra anyways
seems a bit much for light gaming
at current prices
oh nice price
6800m go brr
no nvidia broadcast support though
i would just get gigabyte imo
but im sure 6800M is faster then 3060
if you're going so expensive
6800m is much faster
but like yknow 3070 is still very good
or 3060
well since i spent 1.5k on this laptop when i could get 6800M with same price just on older model
oh its 1440p
yea but i do like asus software and be able to control everything
gigabyte lets you do that too
well the guy in video had 1080p 300HZ
jesus
there's two versions of the laptop
1080p or 1440p
but still
just save your money and grab aorus on newegg
11800h won't be too hungry if you need it to be efficient
99wh can still take you at least 8 hours
Oh thunderbolt eh
@obsidian wigeon only sad thing is i have to drive to best buy tommorow to return this laptop then and paypal wont give money back until like tuesday i hope sale stays
That usb c hub isn’t gonna work on that
oh it does lol
i hope that deal stays then
i had thunderbolt on my last 3070 lapto[
but the aorus 15 is regularly on sale anyway
it's been like this since last year
Thunderbolt isn’t the same as usb c standard though
oh
Hm
wait brb
it's like a new msrp at this point
i would totally get it if i had the money
and lived in the us lol
i was looking idk but all ports work and even HDMI works
Wild
oh
Maybe it’s just charging that doesn’t work
Cause thunderbolt doesn’t have charging capability as far as I know
Well I’m a forwarding service for our sponsor, glasswire
no i dont have a cable or wall adapter that is 100W
Yeah I know you can’t test it
my laptop once said " I WONT CHARGE BC YOUR CABLE WEAK"
But I suspect charging is the only thing it won’t support
Don’t take my word for it though lol I have no real basis for this
hm i thought it did
Lol it didn’t even answer the question
haha
tb4 is included with usb4
Wha
but anything else, no
unless it's something special
like usb pd wirh tb3
or something
hm
Hmmm
yep
@obsidian wigeon there is one issue with my current laptop tho
oof
that's a defect
I did get open box
i would just return it
ew my cable in way of mouse ewwwwwwwwwwww
thats ew
ethernet port on right side
im right handed
You try getting the latest audio drivers from asus yet
i think so
Better make sure lol
says up-to-date
well returning it anyway so 
@obsidian wigeon what other info can you get on laptop like how is dynamic boost enabled can the cpu also keep high wattage bc my asus laptop cpu has to be 15W for 3060 to use 120W
that's kinda the deal for all laptops
they have to balance power based on what needs it more
no legion can have cpu stay at like 35-45W with gpu full load
brb
that means it has a higher overall power budget then
it's still limited by the manufacturer
true but thats all all lapops
yea but asus sad
i mean i think there strix is more better
strix little better
little is an understatement
@obsidian wigeon sorry for ping again but what about 17 inch is there any laptop thats 17inch and is like good deal
well theres this but i cant do amazon sad
bruh the gpu is 105W
we cant have anything nice in this WORLD ahhhhhhhhh
tbh
17 inches is needlessly big
and yeah, aorus 15 and 17 has 105w
but does it even matter? no
it's still faster than 3060
Ye but good for 1080p screen
No 15 is 130W on gpu
