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

little osprey
#

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 😭

potent portal
#

If your monitor has speakers built in you want to use the hdmi audio for that

little osprey
#

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.

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

mossy venture
#

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

rugged wharf
#

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

fossil cedar
#

You don't already have a motherboard? Also ram is pretty cheap nowadays I would just get 2x16gb ram instead

fossil cedar
rugged wharf
#

Oh your mistaken me i have not gotten the other stuff yet

#

i might have worded the thing a bit weird

fossil cedar
#

You haven't bought anything yet?

rugged wharf
rugged wharf
empty pollen
#

good

fossil cedar
rugged wharf
#

Ah

empty pollen
#

time to set up a build pato 😛

rugged wharf
#

whats that?

fossil cedar
#

@rugged wharf whats your budget?

#

And have you bought anything

rugged wharf
#

i currently am here sitting with no computer parts other than a mouse and headphones

rugged wharf
#

I have this very old thinkpad that is basically dying i wanna get something before it explodes

empty pollen
#

help pato with your budget, so he can tailor you the best bang for your buck

#

glad you didnt have anything yet

rugged wharf
#

I am quite flexible with my budget around 1700 Euros. I live in finland is a good thing to add

jagged ember
#

Nice place to live

rugged wharf
#

I can't send a screenshot of my spreadsheet

jagged ember
#

But yeah Pato has you covered

rugged wharf
#

is there a way to let me send something?

jagged ember
#

You can dm someone

#

And have ‘em send it here

rugged wharf
#

do you work?

jagged ember
#

I think mine are open

empty pollen
#

also... you care about wifi and/or rgb?

fossil cedar
#

You can't send links and pics til your name turns green

rugged wharf
#

i understand the caution

#

@jagged ember i sent a friend request

#

you can unadd me after this is if bothers you.

jagged ember
#

Try sending a dm directly

rugged wharf
#

did not work

jagged ember
#

I wanna know if it works

#

Oh wtf

#

Mine are turned on tho

#

Send it now anyway

rugged wharf
#

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

jagged ember
#

Relayed

fossil cedar
#

@rugged wharf what sites can you get parts in finland?

rugged wharf
fossil cedar
#

all I can see on pc part picker is Jimms but i am sure theres more lol

rugged wharf
#

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?

empty pollen
#

depends on the store, some stores have free shipping

rugged wharf
#

that is indeed true

empty pollen
#

every time pato make a list feels like magic in the making

rugged wharf
#

ayo? yall making him sound like a mythical creature

#

them*

fossil cedar
#

lol

cursive lantern
#

Anybody here ever fix laptop keyboards?

obsidian wigeon
#

just replace the whole thing

#

it's not worth fixing the keeb

cursive lantern
#

Really? I just need 1 stabilizer,

obsidian wigeon
#

those little parts are pretty hard to find

cursive lantern
#

Ohhh

rugged wharf
#

ill brb gotta do some irl stuff

cursive lantern
#

What about a screen

rugged wharf
#

will take a bit of time

obsidian wigeon
#

screens are only to be replaced when they die

fossil cedar
#

yo chrome isnt translating the verkokka site can you send a direct link to the components section of the site?

cursive lantern
#

Even if the liquid is smiling all over the place?

obsidian wigeon
#

but you can easily spot one by looking up the part number

cursive lantern
#

I have no clue how to do that, is that under the serial number of the laptop?

obsidian wigeon
#

nope

#

you have to take the panel out

cursive lantern
#

I have no clue how to do that

obsidian wigeon
#

then look at part number behind it

cursive lantern
#

PH fudge

fossil cedar
obsidian wigeon
#

they're usually 50-60 bucks tho

#

for a replacement screen

cursive lantern
#

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

empty pollen
obsidian wigeon
#

that sounds like a scam to me

#

what laptop is this?

cursive lantern
#

Regardless they didn't have the parts anaywas

#

Acer Predator Helios 300

obsidian wigeon
#

hmn

cursive lantern
#

I'm going to take the time to fix it myself rather than pay them that kind of money

obsidian wigeon
#

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

fossil cedar
obsidian wigeon
#

you have to take everything apart to even get to the keeb

#

like bottom cover, motherboard

cursive lantern
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

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

cursive lantern
#

The stabilizer on the right

obsidian wigeon
#

oof

#

that's gonna be a huge pain to fix just the stab

cursive lantern
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

you really only have to unscrew a few screws on the bezel

#

then pry out the bezel cover

cursive lantern
#

I have no clue what the bezel is,

#

I can't say I have dome thus before.

obsidian wigeon
#

bezel is the part that surrounds the screen

cursive lantern
#

Okay, give me a moment to shutdown and unplug my laptop

obsidian wigeon
#

i suggest you looking for guides tho

#

i can't help much cause i don't have the laptop

cursive lantern
#

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

cursive lantern
#

Can I look up a screen replacement by looking up the laptop model?

little osprey
#

potentially

#

Some websites will have info on the screen model

cursive lantern
#

It's from Amazon it gave me the same model name as my laptop

rugged wharf
#

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?

forest briar
#

whats wrong with intel

rugged wharf
#

no i have just had bad experiences with them that's all

fossil cedar
#

12600k is far and a way better than the 5600x

stoic island
cursive lantern
#

Question, it says it's 40 pins instead of 30 pins are all lcd screens have a 30pin or 40 pin version?

cursive lantern
#

It's some company in China and I'm scared to buy 😆 🤣

earnest olive
#

you should definitely try to find something that explicitly lists compatibility with your exact laptop model

#

doubt that those pins are standardized

cursive lantern
#

Okay, I will try then

#

What prince range should I go for?

Also nice nexxon muskie pic

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

pure summit
#

what is the best cpu and gpu combo?

empty pollen
#

depends on what are you planning to do with the pc

pure summit
#

gamung

#

gaming

empty pollen
#

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

pure summit
#

1440p or 1080p

#

oh ok ty

empty pollen
#

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

pure summit
#

is a 3060 ti good for 1440p too?

empty pollen
#

it is, just badly priced

#

better to jump to 3070 instead

#

or a 6600xt

pure summit
#

ah ok ty

empty pollen
#

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)

pure summit
#

tyytyt

jagged ember
#

Not sure about the ray tracing

#

Nvidia still has way more experience in utilizing their tensor cores for that

empty pollen
#

ray tracing is a gimmick this gen anyway

jagged ember
#

Not that it’s really relevant though

#

Yeah

#

RT is pretty gimmicky on most games

empty pollen
#

and fsr/rsr is almost at the same level as dlss at this point in the cycle

jagged ember
#

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

empty pollen
#

yeah it varies from game to game. even dlss is kinda weird on some titles

jagged ember
#

True

#

Dlss1.0 on control is super weird with the fans in the sewer section

#

But they’re also now on dlss 2.3

bold iron
earnest olive
#

at launch people were saying never get the 3070 over the 3060ti

earnest olive
#

but again, rt is whatever

#

even as a 3090 owner I find it difficult to care about rt

empty pollen
#

yeah, 60ti was the best price/performer for 1440p on those dark days

empty pollen
#

save like 100 cad in the process

#

maybe there is a cheaper and more capable psu for that build

hybrid gorge
#

/imagine prompt cat

jagged ember
#

?

forest briar
#

He’s trying to use midjourney

potent portal
earnest olive
#

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

mossy venture
stoic island
#

kinda looks like cad by gpu pricing

#

but dunno

mossy venture
#

Probably

#

Could be aud

stoic island
#

or aud

#

or sgd

mossy venture
#

Could be usd with a terribly priced gpu selected

stoic island
#

ye

mossy venture
#

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

stoic island
#

I still prefer d15

#

over ak620 ignoring price

mossy venture
#

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

dim forge
#

hemloooooo

#

Sorry to bother

mossy venture
#

Hi

dim forge
#

is this setup ok for a first setup?

#

I can't get a dedicated graphic rn bc of inflation + shipping taxes

mossy venture
dim forge
mossy venture
#

Though jt is a decent bit more expensive

dim forge
#

no, but I can get that xpg case in my country for 70usd

#

in black obv

mossy venture
#

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

dim forge
#

but anything better than that

#

has taxes

#

6600 is 250 usd in amazon + taxes it goes up to 320-330

#

😦

earnest olive
#

1650s/6500xt are both going to be worlds better than igpu

mossy venture
#

Will be a good bit better for gaming than just a 5600g

dim forge
#

also, is a 4core processor good enough? or should I just save a bit more for a i5

analog pulsar
#

what a good 1080p monitor

mossy venture
#

It's fine, especially paired with a 6500xt

#

The gpu will be the limiting factor in that build

mossy venture
rich void
mossy venture
#

That too, the 10100f is fine to pair with a 6500xt

#

Alr I'm out

#

I've gotta be up at 6

analog pulsar
#

how this one its also sell money on amazon let me check newegg

mossy venture
#

Look at rtings reviews

analog pulsar
#

$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

mossy venture
#

Rommy it's worse than you think too

earnest olive
#

didn't i tell you to avoid all 1440p+ laptops like the plague

analog pulsar
earnest olive
#

yeah that's just not true

analog pulsar
#

legion is 1600p

#

legion and asus are good brands

mossy venture
#

Weren't you looking at 4k monitors earlier

mossy venture
analog pulsar
#

I dont care

mossy venture
#

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

analog pulsar
mossy venture
#

Audible sigh

analog pulsar
mossy venture
#

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

analog pulsar
mossy venture
#

K

obsidian wigeon
#

bruh

analog pulsar
#
#

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

mossy venture
#

To clarify, are you gaming on the go

#

Or is the laptop used for purely non gaming outside of your home

analog pulsar
mossy venture
#

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^^

analog pulsar
#

yea but with ddr4 you have to get laptop with with non soldered ram so that you dont get single channel ram

mossy venture
#

Did

analog pulsar
#

yea but when i wanna game I wont be able to

mossy venture
#

Kenzie

#

Ram cannot be soldered if there is nothing in that slot

#

It is physically impossible to have soldered single channel non upgradable ram

analog pulsar
dim forge
#

does the 6500xt model matters?

mossy venture
#

No

#

Just get rhe cheapest one

dim forge
#

oke

analog pulsar
mossy venture
#

What is soldered into that slot kenzie

analog pulsar
mossy venture
#

Kenzie

analog pulsar
#

im talking about soldered ram on laptop

mossy venture
#

YES

#

KENZIE YOU ARE SO CLOSE

#

Soldered single channel is upgradable

#

Because there is a second slot

analog pulsar
#

if you mix 8GB and 16Gb kit on ddr4 the ram stays into single chanel

mossy venture
#

MMMMMM

#

Physical pain

analog pulsar
#

thats not what @visual notch said

mossy venture
#

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

analog pulsar
mossy venture
#

And when you go above 16gb ram usage it'll run in single channel

dim forge
#

do all laptops run dual channel?

mossy venture
#

No

dim forge
#

oh

mossy venture
analog pulsar
mossy venture
#

Excuse me what

dim forge
#

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

mossy venture
#

12100f 3050 to 12100f 3080, the 6700xt, 3080 ti at some point

#

How much did the laptop cost btw?

dim forge
#

bacca

mossy venture
#

Hi

analog pulsar
dim forge
#

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

mossy venture
#

And can sub in the case you can get locally?

dim forge
visual notch
mossy venture
#

12100f is a lot better than 10100f, but that one also doesn't come with wifi

visual notch
#

Let's not put words in my mouth.

mossy venture
#

Would have to get ds3h ax b660 for $125 to get wifi included

dim forge
#

why does wifi matters

mossy venture
#

If you're using ethernet, it doesn't

jagged ember
#

not everyone has ethernet

dim forge
#

I don't

mossy venture
#

Then you need wifi

jagged ember
#

then you'll need it

analog pulsar
dim forge
#

I'd have to buy an extra router

#

to connect ethernet to the pc

viral ore
dim forge
#

😦

jagged ember
#

yeah

mossy venture
#

Then I'd just get a mobo with wifi included

jagged ember
#

then you need wifi lol

mossy venture
#

If going 12100f, ds3h ax

#

For 10100f, the mobo I had included

visual notch
jagged ember
#

escanor knows what he's saying

#

i think you're just confused, kenzie

earnest olive
#

solder more ram chips onto the laptop mobo

visual notch
#

lol

earnest olive
#

i actually watched a video where someone did that

dim forge
earnest olive
#

if you can afford the 12100f it's worth it

visual notch
#

^

analog pulsar
earnest olive
#

the difference between 10100f and 12100f is huge especially with a 6500xt

dim forge
#

I might wait a bit till raptor lake is out

#

maybe maybe the prices will drop a bit

earnest olive
#

raptor lake i3s won't exist apparently

visual notch
earnest olive
#

heard that it'll be similar to the i3-10105

#

where it's just a refresh with +100mhz but on the old arch

jagged ember
#

yeah

earnest olive
#

i3-12105 i guess

dim forge
earnest olive
#

ah

jagged ember
#

what he said was immediately what i understood

analog pulsar
#

well thats not confusing at all

jagged ember
#

it's not

dim forge
#

just saying maybe prices will go down a bit since they'll use the same chipset

jagged ember
#

you're just confusing it lol

earnest olive
#

i wouldn't expect price drops on i3s to be so significant that they're worth waiting for tbh

#

i'd just buy now

jagged ember
#

I didn't even have any context

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

it's always dual

visual notch
#

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.

mossy venture
obsidian wigeon
#

flex mode be like

jagged ember
#

until you use 2* the amount of ram of the smallest stick

visual notch
#

^

jagged ember
#

then it's single channel past that amount

obsidian wigeon
#

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"

visual notch
#

DDR5 is odd, 4 sticks actually degrades performance.

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah lol

mossy venture
#

Well, right now it does

visual notch
#

Yeah for now

earnest olive
#

4 sticks can degrade performance on ddr4 as well

obsidian wigeon
#

just run 2 and you're good

visual notch
#

Future, probably not

mossy venture
#

With new imcs it might be fine

visual notch
analog pulsar
earnest olive
#

it's just much more situational and much less extreme than ddr5

visual notch
#

DDR5 takes a nosedive with current IMCs

#

aka Alderlake

analog pulsar
#

screw this pcs hard im getting a tablet

visual notch
#

lol

jagged ember
#

lmao

dim forge
#

😆

mossy venture
#

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

jagged ember
#

have fun using an ipad

earnest olive
#

time for kenzie to daily an overclocked raspberry pi

jagged ember
#

because it's the only choice for a good tablet

#

but if you slot in a 16gb dimm...

earnest olive
#

raspberry pi ready for xoc

obsidian wigeon
#

talking about soldered ram, adding another stick of same size will make it dual

jagged ember
#

that actually looks sick

obsidian wigeon
#

soldered ram is still ram

visual notch
#

My dream laptop: 7900HS processor (12 core), 4080 mobile, 32GB DDR5-6000

mmm, rgb cooler for raspberry pi

obsidian wigeon
#

instead of being a stick

visual notch

Thanks, bye now.

# mossy venture How much did the laptop cost btw?

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

i want strix quite a lot tho

earnest olive

factory LM isn't a big enough draw to be a defining factor, but it's a nice-to-have

visual notch
earnest olive
#

i'm comfortable enough doing LM on my own

obsidian wigeon
#

it has lm on just cpu

#

nickel plated for cpu side

#

gpu is paste and copper

Very nice Kenzie. NOW KEEP IT

obsidian wigeon

that's enough for me

im too scared to mess with lm anyway lol

are you planning on returning it again?

obsidian wigeon

i just want a laptop with nice screen, high tgp and good cooling

O.M.G. It's like one of the best screens on any laptop, lol

1440p is fine on a laptop

visual notch
#

1440p gaming on a laptop is fine with a 3060 or better.

mossy venture
#

It tanks fps while not really benefiting from the bigger screen size that normally comes with 1440p

obsidian wigeon
#

this isn't a 1650 tho

visual notch
#

Just use DLSS or FSR

obsidian wigeon
#

it's 3060 with 130w tgp

analog pulsar
earnest olive
#

okay but what is the benefit from 1440p

visual notch
#

You're covered.

obsidian wigeon
#

1440p is fine

visual notch
earnest olive
#

do you sit 1 inch away from your screen?

jagged ember
obsidian wigeon
#

i don't say i want it

jagged ember
#

very sharp

analog pulsar
#

laptop is 3060 100W 1440p

obsidian wigeon

100+30

earnest olive
#

have you ever used a high res laptop screen

visual notch
obsidian wigeon
#

not just 100

jagged ember
mossy venture
#

My 1080p laptop looked SO crisp

earnest olive
#

i couldn't tell even 0.01% of difference between 1080p and 4K on my 15" laptop

obsidian wigeon
#

1440p is fine if laptop has higher end gpu and tgp

mossy venture
#

I see no point to over that

analog pulsar
visual notch
#

Hang on.....

obsidian wigeon
#

otherwise 1080p

earnest olive
#

exactly, zero actual benefit of 1440p, only downsides

#

i don't care how "fine" it is

analog pulsar
#

like ill load up game really quick

earnest olive
#

it's pure downside with no upside

visual notch
#

I have actual pictures of a G15 with a 1440p screen, and it's evident from the pics how sharp it is.

earnest olive
#

why compromise

jagged ember
#

i've tried using something similar to 2k on a 14" screen though

rich void
jagged ember
#

stuff looks real sharp

earnest olive
#

1080p 15" is higher pixel density than 4k 32" already

jagged ember
#

this 1080p on a 17" screen looks way less sharp

earnest olive
#

again, are you 1 inch away from your screen?

jagged ember
#

okay, fair enough it was a surface pro

#

but look surfaces are ass anyways

#

noo you've summoned SB3 man

obsidian wigeon
#

im fine with 1440p, but the added cost is unacceptable for me for the perf compromise

earnest olive
#

lol added cost

#

1440p option would have to be at least 50% cheaper for me to even consider it

obsidian wigeon
#

1080p models of same laptop costs considerably less

#

compared to that of 1440p counterpart

earnest olive
#

i know, and it boggles my mind that people are actually willing to pay more for a worse product

#

just because bigger number

obsidian wigeon
#

well, sometimes they simply force you by making high color gamut and brightness 1440p only

#

it's evident on so many laptops

visual notch
earnest olive
#

yeah, my 1080p screen has excellent color/image quality

obsidian wigeon
#

it's the problem i hate

visual notch
#

That's a 1440p G15

obsidian wigeon
#

300 nits 1080p with bleh color gamut

earnest olive
#

brightness concerns are completely overblown to me

#

300 nits is insane

obsidian wigeon
#

while 1440p has 400+ nits

#

and better color gamut

earnest olive
#

300 nits is listed as a con on my laptop

obsidian wigeon
#

and contrast

visual notch
#

It's just the focus on my camera, it was SOOO crisp

earnest olive
#

but i have to use it at 25% brightness or it hurts the hell out of my eyes

visual notch
#

compared to my 1080p zephy

obsidian wigeon
#

just adjust brightness lol

earnest olive
#

i don't know what kind of human beings actually want 1000 nits screens

visual notch
#

I run at 100% brightness, but I have LR lights on too, so.....

earnest olive
#

they must be trying to go blind by age 25

obsidian wigeon
#

hdr tho

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

no one actually runs 1000 nits

visual notch
#

LISTEN I HAD TO DIG THROUGH 1000 PICTURES TO FIND THAT. lol

obsidian wigeon
#

cause it would destroy your eyes

earnest olive
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

hdr with 1000 nits screens aren't bad for the eyes at all

#

they just bring out more detail

elfin flame
#

1080p >>>>>> on laptops.
Hands down.

analog pulsar
#

I'm sorry 😞

earnest olive
#

id prefer 720p over 1440p on a laptop lol

visual notch
#

The 2022 Zephyrus laptops actually have 16:10 screen ratio, which I appreciate.

obsidian wigeon
#

720p

#

now i can't accept that, heck nah

#

i already hate my 768p lol

obsidian wigeon
#

i can kinda see the pixels from my sitting distance

#

with 15.6"

visual notch
#

4K I can accept. 1440p? Questionable. It's like HD on a phone vs non-HD kinda difference, yes, but it is noticeable.

earnest olive
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

it looks much worse

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

you sure get a lot more perf but

#

1080p is already good

earnest olive
#

yeah, it doesn't make any sense to buy a 1440p screen just to scale up everything

obsidian wigeon
#

it sits between sharpness and perf

#

just right

analog pulsar
#

I might just return laptop and get 1080p laptop Sadge

earnest olive
#

1080p on a 15" screen is already perfect sharpness idk who needs more

analog pulsar
#

Now I gotta drive another 63 miles to return it

earnest olive
#

do you want 4k 24" desktop monitor?

#

1080p 15" is better pixel density than standard 4k desktop monitors

analog pulsar
#

I drove to another state to go to a best buy that had this laptop I'm very inpatient

earnest olive
#

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

jagged ember
#

Phone screens are fair game

earnest olive
#

my new phone is 1080p so i can't really downsize that to 720p without looking bad

jagged ember
#

1080p is already enough indeed

earnest olive
#

and 540p is getting sus

jagged ember
#

540p kek

#

Now that’s too small

earnest olive
#

my new phone has no resolution control, only refresh rate

analog pulsar
#

What's difference from 5900HX vs 6900HS

earnest olive
#

it's 120hz but i never use the 120hz, it's always at 60hz

jagged ember
#

But the genshin

earnest olive
#

lol

#

genshin is locked at 60 fps on android

obsidian wigeon
#

6900hs is faster

earnest olive
#

and i don't play genshin on phone anyways

obsidian wigeon
#

but i wouldn't say it's worth it

earnest olive
#

dude

jagged ember
obsidian wigeon
#

unless that laptop with newer cpu has mux switch

earnest olive
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

phone cooling go brr

#

gaming laptop overheating memes are so dead now

#

let's make gaming phone memes

jagged ember
#

Now it’s phone gaming overheat time

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

jagged ember
#

Where’s my rog phone

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

With the phat fan

earnest olive
#

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

obsidian wigeon
earnest olive
#

not quite a shoebox but yeah

analog pulsar
#

@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

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

earnest olive
#

that's better but still not good

obsidian wigeon
#

that's a miles ahead laptop imo

#

than the zeph you got

#

legion 5 has mux

earnest olive
#

you can get 3070 for that price easily if you just go for previous gen cpu that doesn't bottleneck the 3070 anyways

analog pulsar
#

Hm

obsidian wigeon
#

but lack of mux tho, that can hurt it

earnest olive
#

no point overpaying for ryzen 6000 and ddr5 with ampere

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

perf boost is on average 20% with mux switch

#

switched on to dgpu

analog pulsar
#

you mean this

obsidian wigeon
#

or just get this gigabyte

#

3070 for 1199

#

with 11800h

analog pulsar
#

yea but battery life

jagged ember
#

E

analog pulsar
#

the battery is 48.9whr or something

obsidian wigeon
#

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

jagged ember
analog pulsar
analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

you can just put the 11800h to 15w

#

or less even, and it'll run fine

jagged ember
#

m

#

power saving mode

#

my dell lasts like 4 hours on power saving mode

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

the windows one bro

obsidian wigeon
#

the gigabyte actually has 99wh

#

as far as i can see

jagged ember
#

I have 56wh

#

4 hours on power saving on a 5600H and a 3050

dim forge
#

does the b660m ds3h ax allows to run the 6500xt on pcie 4.0?

obsidian wigeon
#

yep, the gigabyte has 99wh

#

so just get it

analog pulsar
dim forge
#

also, I read online 6500xt is not good for streaming, why?

obsidian wigeon
jagged ember
#

oh no

obsidian wigeon
#

it lacks any form of hardware encoder

#

so it sucks on that too

jagged ember
#

you aren't serious about the 6500xt are you?

obsidian wigeon
#

just get a used gpu tbh, much better than way

dim forge
obsidian wigeon
#

6500xt is slower than 5500xt

jagged ember
#

used cards my friend

#

6500xt is literally just an igpu

#

but worse

obsidian wigeon
#

used 1060 will do

jagged ember
#

because it doesn't have hardware encoding

dim forge
obsidian wigeon
dim forge
#

and why is it important

obsidian wigeon
#

amd planned to make igpu on the apu handle encoding

jagged ember
#

important for video

obsidian wigeon
#

it is important for video and streaming

jagged ember
#

literally any video you watch needs decoding

obsidian wigeon
#

software encoding is very slow

jagged ember
#

and encoding is for streaming yeah

dim forge
#

ohhh

jagged ember
#

hardware side is much less resource intensive

#

software encoding or decoding uses more of your resources

#

funny as it sounds

dim forge
#

hmm I'll look for used gpus

obsidian wigeon
#

rx580 8gb or 1060 6gb would be optimal goal

jagged ember
#

floppa running rtx voice on his 580 lmao

obsidian wigeon
#

assuming $150 price range

#

he has no 580 no more tho

dim forge
#

also, that aoc monitor

obsidian wigeon
#

1080 now

jagged ember
dim forge
#

G2490VX

#

has only freesync

#

will an amd gpu be better?

analog pulsar
#

@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

jagged ember
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

i would bite the bullet

jagged ember
#

if it's just light games

obsidian wigeon
#

and go 3070

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

you can use the dock you have now smh

#

it has an HDMI port

obsidian wigeon
#

the gigabyte is only 1199 rn

#

but if you want less i can try and find

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

a lot

analog pulsar
#

Hm

obsidian wigeon
#

it's not 80w 3070 vs 140w 3060

jagged ember
#

I'd also consider getting mother Superior opinion on this

obsidian wigeon
#

that has same perf

jagged ember
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

no

#

not at all

#

at only 10w diff the 3070 can still stretch its legs

#

if it's 80w however, it gets neutered basically

analog pulsar
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

3050 is fine too

jagged ember
#

3050 is fine

#

runs fh5 on high

analog pulsar
#

I got zeph bc it's looks cool and Escanor said it was good

jagged ember
#

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

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

seems a bit much for light gaming

obsidian wigeon
#

at current prices

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

3060 seems best

#

oh the advantage is nice too

jagged ember
#

oh nice price

obsidian wigeon
#

6800m go brr

analog pulsar
#

1.5k is what i can do

jagged ember
#

no nvidia broadcast support though

obsidian wigeon
#

i would just get gigabyte imo

analog pulsar
#

but im sure 6800M is faster then 3060

obsidian wigeon
#

if you're going so expensive

#

6800m is much faster

#

but like yknow 3070 is still very good

#

or 3060

analog pulsar
#

gpu nice wattage

#

battery is nice

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

but in my opinion

#

i'd rather save money and get gigabyte 15

analog pulsar
#

oh its 1440p

obsidian wigeon
#

ye it is

#

advantage edition

#

one of requirements are 1440p lol

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

gigabyte lets you do that too

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

jesus

obsidian wigeon
#

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

analog pulsar
#

this is cost

#

oh screen is 1080p thats nice

#

ports selection is nice too

jagged ember
#

Oh thunderbolt eh

analog pulsar
#

@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

jagged ember
#

That usb c hub isn’t gonna work on that

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

i hope that deal stays then

analog pulsar
#

i had thunderbolt on my last 3070 lapto[

obsidian wigeon
#

but the aorus 15 is regularly on sale anyway

#

it's been like this since last year

jagged ember
#

Thunderbolt isn’t the same as usb c standard though

jagged ember
#

Hm

obsidian wigeon
#

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

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

Wild

analog pulsar
#

only thing i didnt test is charging

#

i dont have 100W charger

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

Maybe it’s just charging that doesn’t work

#

Cause thunderbolt doesn’t have charging capability as far as I know

obsidian wigeon
#

i would legit get it if i have money rn too

#

just gotta get a forwarder service

jagged ember
#

Well I’m a forwarding service for our sponsor, glasswire

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

Yeah I know you can’t test it

analog pulsar
#

my laptop once said " I WONT CHARGE BC YOUR CABLE WEAK"

jagged ember
#

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

obsidian wigeon
#

tb doesn't have charging support

#

you have to have usb with pd

jagged ember
#

That’s what I remembered

#

But I wasn’t sure

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

Too lazy to google

#

Tb can give power but not for usb c pd

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

Lol it didn’t even answer the question

analog pulsar
#

haha

jagged ember
#

Hey can this charge?

#

Yeah you can plug it in

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

tb4 is included with usb4

jagged ember
#

Wha

obsidian wigeon
#

but anything else, no

#

unless it's something special

#

like usb pd wirh tb3

#

or something

analog pulsar
#

hm

jagged ember
#

Hmmm

obsidian wigeon
#

it just depends on the laptop

#

you gotta check one by one

jagged ember
#

Seems fair

#

And sounds about right

#

companies not following specific standards

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

oof

analog pulsar
#

It's muffled but my legion laptop NEVER sounded like this

#

Ewwwwww

obsidian wigeon

that's a defect

analog pulsar

Ohyeah

#

I forgot

analog pulsar
#

@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

jagged ember
#

that's kinda the deal for all laptops

#

they have to balance power based on what needs it more

analog pulsar
#

brb

jagged ember
#

that means it has a higher overall power budget then

#

it's still limited by the manufacturer

analog pulsar
#

Legion

analog pulsar
jagged ember
#

that's my point

#

oh I see what you were asking now

analog pulsar
#

yea but asus sad

#

i mean i think there strix is more better

#

strix little better

jagged ember
#

little is an understatement

bitter mason
#

well... Unify-X just POSTed 4700 on 10900K

#

all these years I blamed IMC

analog pulsar
#

@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

obsidian wigeon
#

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

analog pulsar
analog pulsar
obsidian wigeon
#

the price difference is too steep

#

huh, damn

#

that's odd

analog pulsar
#

Or on laptop you showed

#

Someone said to get this

#

I think it has same gpu wattage

obsidian wigeon
#

nah nah nah

#

1440p

#

heck no
