I'd imagine around a 1050 ti's performance

[untold vessel]

Oh shoot; I had no idea. That's very good

[mossy venture]

Yep, igpus have come a long way

If wouldn't surprise me if we see 3060 perf in one within 5 years or so

[untold vessel]

How considerable is the difference between the 4050 dgpu vs the 8845HS's ipgu?

[mossy venture]

4050 is far better

Second will have better battery life

Also run cooler/quieter

[untold vessel]

Ah, nice! Would you recommend just coughing up the extra $50 to get it, then? Seems like a no-brainer to me

[mossy venture]

@obsidian wigeon how do you like your 4050

[obsidian wigeon]

it benches 3dmark like a 1080 desktop

i can say i'm pretty happy

decent gaming perf

[untold vessel]

Looks like the consensus is clear. Thank you, you two!

[mossy venture]

Oh also

[obsidian wigeon]

for the 7730U, the igpu is pretty weak

vega 8

it doesn't get the nice 680M

[mossy venture]

You can disable the gpu when you need better battery life

[obsidian wigeon]

but ^

[mossy venture]

The cpu is an 8645hs so it has 660m I believe, which is still very capable

Or is it 670m

[obsidian wigeon]

hp claiming 11 hours should mean it has mux

660m

[mossy venture]

Also ty foxy for the correction on 7730u

[obsidian wigeon]

wait 760m actually

[untold vessel]

Oh you're kidding; That's amazing-- How do I do that on the Victus?

[obsidian wigeon]

which is pretty capable anyway

you simply switch in nvidia control panel

[mossy venture]

There might be a physical switch to disable it, but ye that ^, or you can disable it in bios I believe

[obsidian wigeon]

or hp's control panel software

bios way is a hassle but that's a valid option

my laptop can swap between gpus seamlessly within windows

[mossy venture]

Mine is supposed to have a mux switch and I just can't find it

[obsidian wigeon]

not sure about that victus tho

[mossy venture]

6800u 3050 ti

[obsidian wigeon]

if it has g-sync

it's got optimus advanced

[untold vessel]

I think I'm going to get it. Should I wait for a sale, or are sale prices & current offerings not going to get better than this for a while?

current offerings being no better-spec'ced options appearing during same said wait for a better sale

[obsidian wigeon]

freesync premium hm

also no, that's basically as good as it gets

i've been watching for a week+

nothing interesting happened

[untold vessel]

It's in the cart! Which RAM should I get now?

[obsidian wigeon]

i'd probably get a 16gb stick of ddr5 5600

sodimm specifically

it'll be mismatching but

that's a cheap way to go about it lol

and it'll still run much better than single 8gb

[untold vessel]

Sold! What's your recommendation link? I'll get it right now

[obsidian wigeon]

lemme find

nvm on a 16gb stick

https://www.amazon.com/Patriot-Signature-5600MHz-SODIMM-Single/dp/B0BQM8SRKF/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa

i'd either go this route

or get a 32gb kit

[untold vessel]

I'm loving the price. How much would a 32gb kit run me?

[obsidian wigeon]

about $70-80

[untold vessel]

In your opinion, is that $40-50 increase worth it as opposed to the 16gb mixed kit? What would you personally do?

[obsidian wigeon]

it's $20-30 extra from 24gb

so i'd say it's worth it

it'll make that laptop last long

easily replaces a gaming pc

[untold vessel]

Sounds great to me! Which link can I get this 32gb kit at?

[obsidian wigeon]

https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-PC5-44800-Computer-SP032GBSVU560F22/dp/B0CQQ9MCCJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_5

[untold vessel]

Speaking of actually now that we're at the $680 range, are there any other Laptop offerings that already have all of these features?

[obsidian wigeon]

boom

[untold vessel]

Thank you!

[obsidian wigeon]

none

you're looking at a loq with 3050

8gb of ram too

4050 is a big step up for similar money

plus you get 32gb

[untold vessel]

what's loq?

[obsidian wigeon]

lenovo loq

another gaming laptop

that one's 699 at bestbuy

similar cpu as well

all in all it's worth it to upgrade the victus

[untold vessel]

You're saying for $699 a best buy, the only other comparable option is a Lenovo loq, which is a downgrade to a 3050/8GB of RAM?

[obsidian wigeon]

exactly

and also no igpu

so your battery life takes a huge hit

[untold vessel]

Oh shoot, well in that case this is a contest sweep. Victus + 32GB kit is the way to go

[obsidian wigeon]

iirc that one had 7435HS

mhm

i paid 1200 for my 4050 laptop but that's unrelated

im not in america, so yeah- explains the price

[untold vessel]

What do I do with the 8GB stick? Any uses for it when this will be my only Gaming Laptop? Can't stick it back in my ddr4 gateway

[obsidian wigeon]

Sell it

Or keep it as backup, idk

It's barely worth much

[untold vessel]

Fair enough; Is there much of a market for OEM 8gb sticks?

[obsidian wigeon]

Nope

Unless there's a bulk of em

[untold vessel]

is the RAM oem?

Ah alright

[obsidian wigeon]

It is oem yes

Whatever brand hp decided

It can be samsung, sk hynix, ect

[untold vessel]

Should I store it in some special bag or anything

[obsidian wigeon]

That's a good idea, but usually ram is pretty resilient

You can chuck it into a drawer and it wouldn't get damaged

Just make sure to keep it away from corrosion

That means a dry warm place

[untold vessel]

Copy that. Any last thoughts before I click 'buy'? Have my mouse hovered over both walmart.com & amazon

[obsidian wigeon]

Nothing else really

Good buy

If I was near you I'd definitely have sold you my laptop's 16gb kit lol

I happen to get a gift card on newegg

Wanted to spend it on 32gb myself

[untold vessel]

And away we go! even gave me 2 hour shipping for free

[obsidian wigeon]

nice

You get to touch the laptop faster

[untold vessel]

off to work, then. Thank you so much @mossy venture @obsidian wigeon

[obsidian wigeon]

good luck

[mossy venture]

Foxy can I bother you

My orochi v2 is dying and there's a model D on sale for $25

Worth?

[obsidian wigeon]

sure

hm

worth tbh

[mossy venture]

It's wired, I'm tired of my mouse dying lol

Oh it's the minus so it's small

It might be too small for my hands

[obsidian wigeon]

isn't the orochi small too

[mossy venture]

I'm not sure

[obsidian wigeon]

i own g305 myself so im biased

i spent on an AA rechargeable battery

[mossy venture]

I do have medium sized hands, maybe a lil on the small side

[obsidian wigeon]

it lasts like

almost a year

before you need to charge the battery again

[mossy venture]

Aside from model d are there any good mice you can think of?

I could get it off wegg

[obsidian wigeon]

asus i think

[mossy venture]

I like them fairly light, palm grip

[obsidian wigeon]

im no mouse expert lmao

[mossy venture]

Ah alr

[obsidian wigeon]

rtings will help

[mossy venture]

I'll ask in peripherals sometime

[obsidian wigeon]

but i like g305

[mossy venture]

I have heard good things

[obsidian wigeon]

it's hefty at 99g tho

[mossy venture]

Orochi is around 60 iirc

[obsidian wigeon]

it has its successor now

g309

larger i think

also definitely more money

i've haphazardly seen g305's for $20-30

but it's regularly $25 or below here in thailand interestingly

i got mine for that much as well

anyway that's basically my take

i love asus because of hotswap

[cyan ravine]

Tryna remember that one really good one

That's the one

@mossy venture op1 8k?

https://www.rtings.com/mouse/reviews/endgame-gear/op1-8k

Good smol mouse

[dusky hearth]

Dell OEM mouse aesthetic

[mossy venture]

I don't necessarily want smol

Not much smaller than orochi v2 at least

[cyan ravine]

Don't think it's smaller than orochi

Orochi is smol

Hand egg

@mossy venture https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=Razer-Orochi-V2-vs.-Endgame-Gear-OP1-8K

It's bigger in fact

[mossy venture]

Oh interesting

Didn't realize orochi was on the smaller end of mice lmao

[cyan ravine]

It's one of the smallest

💀

[lyric scarab]

👋 I'm considering the https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-D30-140-Performance-Lighting-Daisy-Chain/dp/B0CJZYQHRM/ref=sr_1_ & https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-D30-140-Performance-Lighting-Daisy-Chain/dp/B0CJZWKC78/ref=pd_bxgy_thbs_d_sccl_1/132-8091982-6859246 fans for my Phanteks Nv5 build. Would it make sense to buy all the reverse and flip it or buy specifically the 4 intakes the the 4 exhausts (rear and liquid cooler fans)

[dusky hearth]

what do you mean by "Would it make sense to buy all the reverse and flip it or buy specifically the 4 intakes the the 4 exhausts" exactly?

[lyric scarab]

Scrap that. I think i figured out I need 4 forwards and 4 reverse fans

[cyan ravine]

Thermalright has forward and reverse fans for a fraction of the price and better performance

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yDmNnQ/thermalright-tl-c12b-s-v3-x3-6617-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-tl-c12b-s-v3-x3

[lyric scarab]

The phanteks fans look really good tho

the con about it tho is thati have to get a jst to 3 pin argb header for it to work on a controller

[mossy venture]

Ye but is it really worth $75/3 more? (If it really is it's not my business, not my money)

[lyric scarab]

nawww, your opinion is welcome

at the end of the day im the one asking in a general support channel

[crimson zinc]

I also third baccas and Felix’s opinion

@lyric scarab

[lyric scarab]

Ah 🙏

[jagged ember]

I fourth it

[manic cloak]

So I got an issue with my audio atm

Whenever i'm playing, sometimes my volume just SPIKES

and I mean it's not cranking it up, it's just a massive increase in volume for no reason

[manic cloak]

I have fully lost audio

I got everything plugged in, replugged it, nothing.

[obsidian wigeon]

Realtek?

Yeah that stuff is weird

[smoky loom]

So I took out my CPU, GPU and WiFi card to dust out my computer, after doing all that and putting everything back where it belongs, my computer won’t turn on

The motherboard flickers a light but then that’s it so I know there’s some type of power going through but I’m not sure on why it’s not turning on. Idk if someone can help?

[obsidian wigeon]

Sounds like dust got into the slots

Which board and cpu do you have?

[smoky loom]

B550 Steal Legend motherboard and a AMD Ryzen 3 3100 4-Core

[jagged ember]

What light turns on?

[smoky loom]

The lights on the motherboard blink once then never again

[jagged ember]

Oh like that

[smoky loom]

It was literally fine BEFORE I cleaned it

[jagged ember]

Mm

Not sure why the cpu came out for this but

Did you take it out of the socket

[smoky loom]

Yeah

I had to since there was dust cake in it

Not the chip but the cooler

[jagged ember]

Oh thank god

[smoky loom]

XD

[jagged ember]

I was about to be extremely concerned

Can just use an air compressor for that next time haha

Anyway, make sure your power connections are in

[smoky loom]

Yeah I don’t really have one. Just used what I had

[jagged ember]

How did you do the cleaning?

[smoky loom]

Qtips and a small cloth

[jagged ember]

Oh gox

Well, I'd recommend against that

But try removing the GPU again, and unplug the power connections to the motherboard and GPU

Then plug it all back in, making sure you have them all they way in

[smoky loom]

Okay

[jagged ember]

Coulda knocked one of those loose

And I mean the ones with the big pins

Not the small tiny ones like USB 3.0/usb 2.0 or front panel io

[smoky loom]

A fan moved

Progress ig

[smoky loom]

Nothing worked. I’m just gonna get it check tomorrow. Thanks for the advice tho

[jagged ember]

Dang

[proper jackal]

Yo

who’s on bro

I just built my pc

And it’s turning on but the motherboard has a red lightbulb

And nothing works

Who can help bro please what do I do

Did it short circuit or something

@jagged ember

[vale epoch]

Check your mobo manual and find out what component error is signified by the red led

Alternatively the led should also have it written out next to it in very small text

If not manual it is

[proper jackal]

red orange light

[vale epoch]

…

It can be different for different mobos

For some it could be the boot

for others it could be the cpu

So check

Your

GODDAMN MANUAL

And once you do and find out what component it is

Try to reseat them

Then make sure all your power connections are in properly

That’s the typical troubleshooting

Also have your pc parts list ready so someone can check it

I gotta go get ready for class

[proper jackal]

had my ram backwards

😦

[obsidian wigeon]

How did you have your ram backwards?

You mean in wrong slots?

[proper jackal]

evens

not odds

[obsidian wigeon]

Ah

[proper jackal]

also

top right cpu conenction

[potent portal]

No need to be rude about it. I find it more helpful to figure out what page of the manual the relevant info is on and point them to it.

[vale epoch]

Got it, ngl i would suck as a parent

[wild peak]

Would anyone have recommendations for a build with $1000 budget
This is what I have so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RzZTGP

[runic spruce]

If u change the ram and mobo and add 50-100 bucks to the budget u can prob get a 7800 Xt

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QLRdyg

[vale epoch]

There a reason for 7600>7600x? price dif seems minimal< or does the non x have more v cache?

oh wait it comes with a cooler

[muted patio]

7600 comes with a cooler, save some money

[vale epoch]

Niceee

whats it look like?

[muted patio]

Metal circle, basic AMD cooler

[vale epoch]

oh...

idk why i was hoping for smth like the wraith prism

[tawny violet]

7600X is supposedly somewhat better bin

And has higher power limits (slightly)

But like
Diff is so small it's basically pointless to not get the non-X

[cyan ravine]

You get the non-X to save on the cooler

If you're not doing that, you could go one way or the other

Real performance is marginal at best if you push both

[tawny violet]

Or you have aesthetics in mind with the cooler

Which I mean can be a valid option

[cyan ravine]

Sure

[cyan ravine]

YESSSS

I DID TALK ABOUT IT

I'M NOT CRAZY

[muted patio]

Where? I wanna see

[cyan ravine]

I haven't found the post in here yet

[muted patio]

Ah, gotcha

[cyan ravine]

It exists though

[lone flame]

Isn’t that an AM4 chip in a AM5 board? 💀

[strong raft]

That's the point, haha. Pins to pins, fundamentally wrong to imagine or see. Lol

[mossy venture]

What makes it funnier

Lga socket with a PGA cpu

[stoic island]

The other way around has to have happened before but people can just hide that it happened because there's no damage done

[strong raft]

Pic of My cpu on AM4 mobo just sounds comical.

[potent portal]

Not that you'll ever need the extra power on a 6 core processor. And you can simply enable PBO to unlock the power on the 7600 anyway.

[sand plover]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/t6hhh3
Is this good or not what should I change?? The AIO and fans will stay.

[mossy venture]

I ignored what you said because a $300 is just non sensible
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YPqC7R

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/B9XV3C/id-cooling-sl360-78-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-sl360-white

This one also has an lcd display

Half the cost

[jagged ember]

And performs equally if not better

300 is actually stupid pricing

[sand plover]

Alright thank you

[vague oracle]

I was like what’s wrong with that for like 5 minutes and then realized… wait a minute…

[untold vessel]

@mossy venture @obsidian wigeon Wanted to say thank you again for all your help. I got home from work yesterday to find the laptop waiting for me, and I'm starting to set it up now. It's so nice!

Also had another question to ask you two-- My brother passed by and thought that this was such a great deal too. He wants one as well! He absolutely needs the CPU to be Intel, however. What are the current Gaming Laptop Deals available that have similar Intel CPU specs for a similar price?

If anyone else would like to chime in with current Deals on Intel CPU Gaming Laptops, please do. I'm looking for all options so I can help my brother pick the best possible one for his education

[muted patio]

Why does it have to be Intel? There are some issues currently with their CPU's, they're not highly recommended at this time. intel hasn't confirmed when the defects stopped and started so it's hesitant to recommend them.

[mossy venture]

^^^

No program requires intel cpus, even if it specifically says "intel i7" or whatever in specs, whoever made the spec requirement sheet is just tech illiterate

[untold vessel]

Oh shoot, I see. Had no idea about those defects. Are there even any current gaming laptop deals that have an Intel CPU?

Or are we looking at a $100-$200 price increase for a negligible performance gains

[muted patio]

For gaming?

[untold vessel]

Yeah! For gaming please

[mossy venture]

Could you add me

[untold vessel]

Found this Tip on Reddit. Think I should follow the advice and remove the mesh layer inside?

Transcript:
"I grabbed this. Solid for the price.

Two ram slots, populated with a 1x8 to start with. Booted and ran games fine with 64 GB total and 1x48GB (didn't have a second stick of 48 to test 2x48 with) and AMD says the processor can do 256 GB so don't believe the 16GB max ram from the description (I'll not be using this with so much RAM I just wanted to test it and report back)

Wi-Fi is modular non soldered 2230, upgrade to Intel AX210 worked fine for 6E support

This laptop had a bad whistle/whine even at low fan speed. Taking the cover off it was apparent this wasn't caused by the fans themselves but trying to force the air through the mesh holes creating a whistle. This section on the bottom of the laptop is made of the outside plastic grate, a middle mesh layer, and a top metal grid holding the mesh layer in place. I just ripped the top two layers off (held in by plastic pop rivet like points, used a flathead to get the first few holding a corner of the metal grate down then just yanked up to pop the metal grid off) so it was just bare plastic grid to fan. This SIGNIFICANTLY improved temps and even the fans at max RPM aren't as annoying as with the mesh on while browsing the web. Keep in mind this means it'll be easier for hair etc to get in but I think it's well worth the hassle given the level of improvement.

Screen and touch pad surprisingly decent given the price range. It's no high end HDR screen but it's actually a decent SDR screen instead of a bottom barrel one. Touchpad feels great, touchpad software and sensitivity only get a mid tier rating though. Keyboard pretty average for this type of laptop, backlight on it is decent.

Everything else was pretty much as you'd expect. Quality laptop, would recommend removing the mesh filter as described and buying a second 8 GB stick of DDR5 5600 to go with it, any other upgrade is just up to your style."

Also, Does the Ryzen 5 8645HS Support any other RAM speeds? I'm not too sure how all this RAM Upgrading stuff works. Should I return the RAM you two recommended and purchase 32GB of the Max Speed RAM that this CPU Supports?

[mossy venture]

Yep supports any ram speed, but most laptops don't allow XMP/expo

There are up to either 5200mhz or 5600mhz jedec kits, which would be the best you could get

[untold vessel]

I see. Thank you. How about that Mesh stuff? Keep my space clean so hair wouldn't be an issue

[mossy venture]

I would ask foxy or felix, they know laptops better than I do

[muted patio]

Removing the mesh will improve temps a tiny amount but also fill the internal fins and heatsink with dust and lint much faster, especially if it's on your lap

Easier to clean external mesh then disassemble laptop to clean a heatsink

[mossy venture]

Or vintage lol

[muted patio]

Think of it as removing the front mesh panel of your PC and how much "stuff" would get in there in short order.

[sand plover]

Why would someone buy this 4090 if it’s $600 more then the cheapest one I found

[muted patio]

Looks and performance. It's Asus top of the line card, ROG. You can overclock it to over 3 ghz

[potent portal]

The "performance" part of that only applies if you're overclocking it. By and large any 4090 will perform about the same as another at stock settings.

[muted patio]

Yup, it's just the Strix is known to be one of the best, if not the best, overclocker

If I'm remembering correctly

[sand plover]

I want it but I’m poor

[dusky hearth]

hello poor i'm 343

[sand plover]

I’m going to beat you >:(

[jagged ember]

Lmao

[vague oracle]

Hi going to beat you, I’m Alec

[sand plover]

Waaaaaaa

[sand plover]

Me going to attack you

[lone flame]

i see you want to own a 5090 in the future

[sand plover]

Can’t I’m to poor I need a 4090

[lone flame]

get a XTX

no amd bias here trust

[sand plover]

Me want the best!!

[jagged ember]

The 7900xtx kinda is the best at raw raster

[lone flame]

beats out 4080s

4090 i dont ever see myself having a need for

[jagged ember]

Again, nv is only good if you really like ray tracing and if you use thejr software suite a lot

[lone flame]

especially since i have last gens flagship

[jagged ember]

Running a 3080 I'm expecting at least 8 years

[lone flame]

what vram model

[jagged ember]

Before I feel enough pressure to switch

10gb

[sand plover]

Idc for ray tracing

I just want to say I have a 4090 😭

[jagged ember]

Lmao

[lone flame]

yikes

10gb model at full price couldnt of been worthg

[sand plover]

But like still

It will be good

[jagged ember]

Not full

[lone flame]

have fun with melty power cables

[jagged ember]

Used, barely

Iirc it was 800

[lone flame]

glad i wasnt into pcs during crypto i could of never of afforded anything

i got a prebuilt christmas 2019

think had a rx 570 in it

[jagged ember]

Tail end, when everything was dropping in price

Is when I got it

[lone flame]

got my 6950xt for 650 including shipping and tax, annoying now since its like 120 bucks cheaper on amazon

i thought it was going oos so i copped it

[sand plover]

Huh?

[lone flame]

4090s have had issues with their power adapters melting

[sand plover]

Oh..

[jagged ember]

Pretty sure they fixed ATX 3.0 power cables now

[lone flame]

its a problem i will never have considering im not dropping 2k on a gpu but idk if it still happens or not

did they cover it under warranty if it happened

[jagged ember]

Yeah

Apparently there weren't even that many

[vague oracle]

99% of it was user error

A lot of people didn’t fully plug in the connector causing it to melt

[jagged ember]

Yeah that's what I'd heard too

Just didn't plug it in all the way yep

[vague oracle]

They did release a fix that extended the sense pin length that made it even more difficult to screw up but still

[jagged ember]

Not necessarily a design issue or an inherent problem

[vague oracle]

Yeah

I have a 4090 and ran 1.1kW through it and still haven’t had any melting connectors lol

[jagged ember]

MORE

(The GPU will explode)

[sand plover]

Me scared

Idk what I’m doing

[jagged ember]

Just plug it in all the way

Its just that easy

[sand plover]

I’m going to fry it somehow

[jagged ember]

Its like if you left your power outlet partly unplugged

That could cause a fire

But I'm not seeing many people afraid of wall plugs

[sand plover]

Ummm

I may stick to ummm

Integrated graphics

[jagged ember]

Lmao

You realize I was making a comparison to leaving your extension cord partly unplugged right

[sand plover]

Joke but what games can integrated play?

[jagged ember]

Okay cool

[sand plover]

Yea

[jagged ember]

Uhh

Hm

[sand plover]

7800x3d

[jagged ember]

That doesn't have igpu

[sand plover]

Oh

[jagged ember]

New amd chips will tho

[sand plover]

It doesn’t?

[sand plover]

Soooo what’s that mean

[jagged ember]

Integrated graphics is igpu

Which the 7800x3d does not have

[sand plover]

I get that but what’s that mean like if I don’t have a gpu I can’t use the computer?

[jagged ember]

You can't see anything so

Yeah, kinda

[sand plover]

Dang it

[sand plover]

That’s your fault >:(

[sand plover]

Meanie

[vague oracle]

It does

I’m 99% sure it does

[jagged ember]

Wait WAT

No way

[vague oracle]

All of 7000 series has it in pretty sure

[sand plover]

Is it good?

[vague oracle]

Meh, it’s an iGPU

[sand plover]

Can I play something like Roblox max graphics till I get a gpu?

[vague oracle]

Should be able to I think

[sand plover]

My laptop can’t even handle minimum graphics

[vague oracle]

What’s your current laptop?

[sand plover]

I don’t know like a 200 dollar Hp laptop

It has a ryzen 3

[strong raft]

7500F doesn't have igpu btw, just like Intel and their F models

[vague oracle]

Didn’t even know the 7500F was a thing lol

[sand plover]

Oh I’m talking about the 7800x3d

[vague oracle]

I want to build an AM5 system ngl

I’m bored

[sand plover]

Do it!!

7500F - Good thing is, seems not super common. Not worth losing the igpu on those

[lone flame]

isnt 7500f like a 7600

[cyan ravine]

7600 on the uber cheap cos no igpu

140-ish

[vague oracle]

Hey doc, do I build that list? I need your professional foot advice

Also does AMD actually do more than 6400 MT/s now?

I think I found myself a beautiful terrible idea https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NNKYvj

[sand plover]

??

I’m no expert but that’s interesting

[vague oracle]

Felix understands my design choices

[sand plover]

You should get a stick of ram with 16 TB

[crimson zinc]

What in the holy mother of pcs

[vague oracle]

My current PC

[sand plover]

Not sure what I’m looking at 😭

[crimson zinc]

Mine looks similar

[crimson zinc]

Lotta cooling

[vague oracle]

13900k, 4090, 48gb of ram @ 7800MT/s, 10TB of storage

[muted patio]

Pressure testing cooling before adding liquid

Nice

[sand plover]

4090????

[vague oracle]

And slightly under kill cooling

[sand plover]

Slide

[vague oracle]

Always

[sand plover]

My build is better

[vague oracle]

Next build will probably a Mo-Ra based ITX AM5 build

4090 ain’t worth it anymore

[sand plover]

Why is the 4090 so much?

[sand plover]

Why?

[vague oracle]

Too expensive compared to a 7900XTX

[lone flame]

bro i shoulda got that

[vague oracle]

Prices went way up again

[sand plover]

I just want to say I have a 4090

[vague oracle]

That’s a stupid reason to waste $700

Very stupid

[sand plover]

:c

And ummm

I need it

[lone flame]

crazy

[vague oracle]

I can pretty much guarantee you that you don’t

Why do you need it?

[sand plover]

It’s just very ugly like I’d prefer to use intergraded graphics then this thing

[sand plover]

Soooo umm for legal reasons I can’t say

[lone flame]

after seeing a 4090 in person at microcenter last month i can confirm i do not need it lol

[vague oracle]

7900XTX sapphire nitro+ is $1000 and a lot prettier

99% of people who say they need a 4090, do not actually need it

[sand plover]

But the 4090 is better

[sand plover]

I DO

[vague oracle]

And I really doubt you’re in that 1% since you were asking about Roblox earlier

[vague oracle]

Not $700 better

[lone flame]

and in a few months may no longer be the best

[sand plover]

I wanna play 5m and other things like vr games from my computer

[sand plover]

Shhhhhh

[jagged ember]

It won't be the best in a few months haha

What's 5m

[lone flame]

5090 for double the price!

i think gta rp

[sand plover]

GTA fivem

[jagged ember]

Is that like 3M's competitor

Lmaoo

[vague oracle]

If you want 5M then get a 4080 super for $1000

[jagged ember]

Hopefully gtaV is still alive enough

[lone flame]

gta5 was made to run on a 360

thats wild to think abt

[vague oracle]

FiveM is kinda demanding sometimes ngl

[jagged ember]

You could run it on a 3050 lmao

[sand plover]

4090 BETTER

[vague oracle]

If you really need NVidia features then a 4080 Super is all you need

[vague oracle]

Not $700 better

[jagged ember]

4090 really doesn't do much more for gaming

[sand plover]

The bottom one is so pretty but the top is so ugly

[vague oracle]

Especially coming from a 4090 owner

[sand plover]

I want rgb one but I’m poor

[lone flame]

opops

[vague oracle]

Only reason I bought a 4090 is for work, it’s absolutely useless for gaming compared to a 4080 super

[jagged ember]

Id save the extra 700 for a dope ass monitor, keyboard and mouse

[lone flame]

[sand plover]

[jagged ember]

Literally exactly what my friend did

[lone flame]

white xtx

white xtx

[sand plover]

Hmmm

[vague oracle]

and because I got it for the same price as a XTX and Microcenter didn’t have a XTX waterblock in stock when I went to warranty my liquid devil

[sand plover]

4090 rgb looks better it’s worth the extra 1k

[lone flame]

kind of white xtx

[vague oracle]

Yeah this person is brain dead 😔

[lone flame]

white xtx with rgb

[sand plover]

I’m delusional

[vague oracle]

Nope, brain dead

[sand plover]

Blue :o

[vague oracle]

Delusional still has some reason left

[sand plover]

What I wanna go for

[lone flame]

this would go hard if they actually made it

[sand plover]

Like it??

[vague oracle]

I personally think it’s ugly af but different tastes for different folks

[lone flame]

identically to every build i see ngl

not that it looks bad its just

[vague oracle]

Yeah

[lone flame]

EVERYONE does a white fishtank

[vague oracle]

It’s got the generic twitch egirl pc look

[sand plover]

:(

[sand plover]

Shhhh

No

[vague oracle]

[lone flame]

mines black and red i get a pass

[sand plover]

This better?

[vague oracle]

Needs plumbing

[lone flame]

SLI is dead so no

[vague oracle]

Nah no pass, it’s got RGB

[vague oracle]

NVLink 3090s were fire

[lone flame]

i normally keep it static?

[sand plover]

RGB IS THE BEST

Even though some days I don’t like it

[vague oracle]

Full blackout is where it’s at

[lone flame]

i like it since it helps me not get totally blinded by my monitor

[sand plover]

All white with a catgirl on the aio

:D

[lone flame]

if i had the chance next time to blackout i think i would

or maybe static white light

but minimal

[sand plover]

Me like white

Wait I can do pink

[vague oracle]

[lone flame]

not helping your stereotypical egirl case here

[sand plover]

HOW

[muted patio]

Clean and black. Only way

[sand plover]

Pink and white only way

[lone flame]

well in that case the xtx has that color

xtx > 4090

[vague oracle]

Vintage knows what’s up

[lone flame]

evga made aios?

[muted patio]

*makes

[vague oracle]

Yeah

Really solid ones too after you replace the fans

[muted patio]

Fans move a crap ton of air but are noisy

[lone flame]

they are a dead company in my eyes unless they become an amd board partner

[muted patio]

If you want quiet, replace

[sand plover]

😭

[sand plover]

Aio or fan cooler?

[vague oracle]

Idk replacing the fans dropped my CPU temps by 10 degrees back when I was using the CLC360 on my 13900k

[muted patio]

Really, interesting

[vague oracle]

Probably just static pressure ain’t good from the stock fans

[muted patio]

GN's test using the stock fans had it at first place for a while

[vague oracle]

They look fine for just case fans

[muted patio]

I have this in there now anyway with my Noctua's

EVGA AIO is old pic

[vague oracle]

I forgot the LFIII came out

[muted patio]

Ye

[vague oracle]

Ever since I got in custom cooking I kinda stopped looking at AIOs

[muted patio]

I'll do a custom loop someday

Winter projec tmaybe

[vague oracle]

I like that I don’t have to worry about not having cooling capacity for future parts

[vague oracle]

Horrible

[sand plover]

WHYY

[muted patio]

LFIII is 1/3 the price and twice the cooling

You're paying $150 for a screen basically

[vague oracle]

Damn I completely forgot I can’t curse in here LOL

[sand plover]

I love the screen

I got one for 150 and it’s the same

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RKqGpB

There

[vague oracle]

They’re already paying $800 just to have their task manager say 4090

[sand plover]

Waaaaaa

It’s fine

[muted patio]

With a Tier B PSU, I'd recommend a Superflower or something a bit better

You don't mess around with power supplies and 4090's

[sand plover]

Can I see a link?

[sand plover]

How come?

I’m an idiot when it comes to this

[vague oracle]

PSU go boom = PC parts go bye bye

[sand plover]

Oh yea

[muted patio]

4090's take a lot of power and have a lot of power fluctuations

[sand plover]

I got an idea

Just tell the 4090 no go boom

[muted patio]

https://www.amazon.com/Warranty-Connectors-Modular-Ultra-Flexible-SF-1000F14TG/dp/B0BV38SQKM?th=1

[lone flame]

i like seeing the full rx 6950xt in my task manager it looks kinda cool 😇

[muted patio]

has white cables too

[vague oracle]

4090s are actually pretty good about transients from what I’ve seen so far, no where close to as bad as a 3090 but I still would want it on an A-tier PSU

[muted patio]

Ah crap, forgot you need a newer PSU for the 4090

[sand plover]

White cables?

[lone flame]

3090ti was more power hungry than a 6950 correct

[sand plover]

Why

[lone flame]

its power adapter

[muted patio]

New GPU takes a new power standard and cable

[vague oracle]

Don’t most new PSUs come with the adapter anyways?

[sand plover]

Oh yea I’m dumb

[vague oracle]

Or was it the actual GPU that came with the adapter

I forgot

[lone flame]

gpu

i know for sure does

[vague oracle]

Yeah my TUF came with the adapter

[lone flame]

i think both maybe

[vague oracle]

Just googled it

I had my RM1000x way before I got the 4090

[sand plover]

You said this won’t work?

[vague oracle]

This is what I’m using https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-RM1000x-SHIFT-Modular-Supply/dp/B08R5PH1VY/ref=asc_df_B0CWLV29D7/?th=1&psc=1

Wait nvm it doesn’t have a dedicated ATX 3.0 cable, only the shift does

[sand plover]

Wait

What cables and psu would I need for a 4090

[vague oracle]

If you want it to look clean, you need a PSU that has a 16 pin cable

Otherwise you need to use the adapter that comes with the 4090

Which uses 4 standard PCIE 8 pin cables

[sand plover]

Can you help me with that?

I don’t know what I am looking for

[vague oracle]

This is on the more expensive side of things https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Titanium-Efficiency-Modular-Supply/dp/B0BV6CWS2Z/ref=asc_df_B0BV6CX5PL/?th=1&psc=1

But most PCie 5.0 1000w A-tier PSUs are around that price I’m pretty sure

[sand plover]

Omg that’s a lot

I’m not sure if I can do that one

[vague oracle]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1HU-024C-00056?item=9SIAMNPJUA2891

Slightly cheaper

[sand plover]

😭

[vague oracle]

Then don’t get a 4090

[sand plover]

Is there any around the umm 150 range?

[sand plover]

B-but

I need one

[vague oracle]

Not with native 16pin support and ATX 3.0

And 1000w

[sand plover]

Waaaaaaaa

[sand plover]

Can’t I get something that isn’t 16 pin and use like an extension rgb?

What’s atx 3.0?

[vague oracle]

Then you’re going to be using the 4x 8pin to 16 pin adapter

If you’re fine with that then go for that RM1000x I sent

Extension RGB cable is an extra $60 on top of the PSU and makes it more unsafe

[sand plover]

?? https://www.amazon.com/Warranty-Connectors-Modular-Ultra-Flexible-SF-1000F14TG/dp/B0BV38SQKM?th=1

[sand plover]

Oh yea but its colorful though

[vague oracle]

.

[sand plover]

Oh ok

[sand plover]

Thank you for everything

Wait I still need to find an extension

I’ll see tomorrow I wanna go to sleep

Night night ❤️

[vague oracle]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1W7-00BS-00081?

No idea how safe extensions are for 16 pin cables

[jagged ember]

Speculative tier A, if any transients somehow are over 750-850w it's probably going to trip OCP

Basically, I wouldn't get it

Not as good as other units

of course in the context of a 4090

[tawny violet]

@jagged ember you can run a 4090 on a confirmed A tier 850 right?

Especially with a 7800X3D

[jagged ember]

I'd actually have to do catchup to say if it can

but if it's not strictly multi-rail or single rail, probably

[potent portal]

Yes. 4090 transients are lower than 30 series was.

[tawny violet]

7800X3D is 88 watts tops after all

I mean you could have issues if there's any that actually do draw the full 600 watts

[potent portal]

You can't hit 600 without overclocking, and if you plan on doing that you probably would be getting a 1000W+ unit

[tawny violet]

Yeah I
Might do the Afterburner "overclock"

But no crazy stuff

[potent portal]

A couple sliders won't get you to 600. Maybe 450-500 at worst.

[tawny violet]

Ye

[sand plover]

Idk how to overclock idk what that is so I don’t have to worry

[stuck laurel]

What is best sad for round 100 bucks I want atleast 7000mbs download speed

[cyan ravine]

Probably 2tb mp44q

Not that 7000 speed matters

Cos no ssd in existence can sustain that for more than 15 seconds

[stuck laurel]

Where can I find that at

[cyan ravine]

Look on pcpartpicker

I can't remember where

Lol

[lone flame]

This just randomly happened mid game

[mossy venture]

Ooh fun. Any ram changes recently?

[potent portal]

Whocrashed time

Hopefully it's just the video driver

[lone flame]

besides a new board ive changed nothing

[mossy venture]

Bc with artifacting like that it's likely gpu drivers or ram

[lone flame]

i updated my gpu drivers recently this happened like last week

[mossy venture]

Is that a program?

[potent portal]

yes

[mossy venture]

Oh cool

[potent portal]

It simplifies the process of analyzing those memory dumps

[mossy venture]

If it doesn't end up being ram I'd run memtest32, could be a faulty board

Assuming ram wasn't an issue on the old board

[lone flame]

i have yet to go into the bios on my new board and do anything

[lone flame]

never was

[mossy venture]

Hm

Are you using the same install of windows?

[lone flame]

mhm

[lone flame]

where can I download that at I dont want to download the wrong thing

[potent portal]

https://www.resplendence.com/download/whocrashedSetup.exe

It's free for home users

[lone flame]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-they-mean-random-numbers-gif-10654449

it shouldnt be thermal

[potent portal]

If thermals weren't a problem before then I doubt it is now. More likely a kernel mode driver crashed. Examples include graphics, chipset, wifi, etc.

If you want to put the drivers to the test here's how you do that
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/driver-verifier

Or you can just go through and wipe/reinstall drivers until it's stable

[lone flame]

99% of the time it is stable though

last time it did that was like a week ago

[potent portal]

Driver verifier will make that % go way down

It's basically a stress test for drivers

[lone flame]

what does that do for me, reading through it just says my pc will likely crash

[potent portal]

That's the idea. Make the PC crash in a controlled way so it knows which driver is the likely cause.

[lone flame]

how do I know which one

[potent portal]

It'll tell you in the crash dumps

[lone flame]

oh

there was also this crash a few days ago

if i remember correctly it happened when i tried loading into doom and joined a discord vc

[mossy venture]

Open command prompt as administrator and run sfc/scannow

Won't fix the issue but memory issues almost always means there's corrupted windows files

[potent portal]

That crash is almost exclusively caused by bad memory or a bad overclock

Overclock here includes XMP/EXPO

[lone spindle]

with a $500 budget, what CPU and GPU should I get to upgrade my current pc? Right now it's a 10400 and 1070. I was thinking a 10700k, RX 6700 XT, and a dual air tower to replace the Intel box cooler.

[mossy venture]

I would suggest a cpu, mobo and ram upgrade and then upgrade gpu later on

Ofc gotta make sure the mobo fits the case, but something like
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pRd8Cd

Otherwise I would upgrade gpu, and then do cpu mobo and ram altogether later on

[lone spindle]

If I opted for the GPU upgrade now, how bad will my 10400 bottleneck a 6700XT at 1440p?

[mossy venture]

Not terribly

And a bottleneck won't hurt anything, just means the gpu would be limited till you upgraded

[strong raft]

Partly considering 1440p, I'd say go ahead w/ just that gpu upgrade 1st. I figure a definite fps boost, varying per game.

[mossy venture]

Def would let you increase settings too

[jagged ember]

GPU always good to upgrade first for gamimg

Won't really see as much of an impact at 1440

[lone flame]

@muted patio my audio issue with doom also happens with helldivers 2 now

idfk

soon as I load in, all pc audio gone

soon as i exit, all of it is back

[mossy venture]

Did you check input/output both in windows and the game?

[lone flame]

yes

top is output to my headphones

bottom is input

[sand plover]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/847r4M Whats a cheap AIO I could use with a screen with this build?

[mossy venture]

Sl240

[crimson zinc]

That’s a good list if you do baccas decision

[sand plover]

What’s baccas?

[crimson zinc]

the AIO
The SL240

[stable cove]

So could there be any problems if I had the pc turned off but the switch on the power supply was still on for when I wanted to turn it on again?

[muted patio]

no

Other than maybe motherboard RGB (if you have it) staying on

[sand plover]

Also would it be back to keep it on for long periods of time? Like 2 days

[stoic island]

Keep it on forever if you want

[dusky hearth]

My PC has been on pretty much everyday 24/7 for 4 years

Previous computer as well, from 2016?-2022

[sand plover]

How much would it affect the power bill if I have it on a game overnight?

[stoic island]

A game overnight? Pretty bad, unless it's like bdo and you can minimize to tray

If it's just idling with stuff like chrome it should only really pull ~50w

Less if nothing is open

[strong raft]

Using 6x or more power at load vs idle adds up.

[rose musk]

I’m installing drivers and I’m using GCC since I have a gigabyte mobo, is there an alternative control centre I could download?

Everyone is saying it’s horrible

[muted patio]

All control centers are horrible to be honest, nothing more than a resource hog

[rose musk]

Oh okay okay

[muted patio]

For drivers just go to the mobo manu and grab the zip files

If it's an AMD board, they have their own chipset drivers, probably more up to date also

[rose musk]

I’m on the control centre and have managed to change one of the rgb fan lights but the other 2 aren’t changing not sure why

They’re being detected in the control centre but when I try to change their lights, it doesn’t work.

[muted patio]

Oh you're trying to do rgb on a gigabyte card?

Or gigabyte motherboard with case fans?

[muted patio]

Id recommend open RGB if your motherboard is supported. https://openrgb.org/

[sand plover]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qyWGyg what could I change?

[muted patio]

You forgot the nzxt aio you insist on buying.

[strong raft]

Perhaps not the QLC ssd:

[wild peak]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a pc with a budget of $850 for my friend

[wild peak]

You can’t see the psu in that case so you should probably get a black one for cheaper

[sand plover]

The cables are white on a white psu

[sand plover]

I changed it since it’s expensive and I’m poor

[wild peak]

You can just get extensions

[sand plover]

But I’ll just be spending money then not saving

[dusky hearth]

Poor but planning on getting a 4090 ☠️

[wild peak]

Depends on what you can find

[sand plover]

😭

Shhhhh

[muted patio]

Oh, you're poor but still 4090??

[sand plover]

Maybe a 4090 or a 7900xtx

[strong raft]

They will be. -- poor w/ some toys > poor w/o toys

[dusky hearth]

Real

[rose musk]

Doesn’t workkkk It doesn’t detect my Lian li fans and I may have messed up one of the fans, is there a way to recalibrate or reset fans?

[dusky hearth]

Still cheaper than kitting out a garage to work on cars in

[strong raft]

Or bikes. Can build 5 good pcs for the price of a modest ninja 500. Of course having me having even 2 pcs is plenty, haha.

[dusky hearth]

Or you could buy 1 peloton for 1 good gaming pc

[burnt dawn]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KQTwxH
Rate my setup

was curious on anyone's thoughts

[dusky hearth]

the aio was how expensive

[burnt dawn]

[potent portal]

Quite a sensible build except for the AIO and 980

[burnt dawn]

AIO I understand

[potent portal]

The AIO, sure if you like the look enough, spend the money. It's your money.

[burnt dawn]

But whats wrong with 980

[muted patio]

Overpriced

[burnt dawn]

both or the 990

Oh Lord sorry

On mobile lol

[burnt dawn]

Woah there with the long ass link

we got a baddie here.

[dusky hearth]

i have never seen a klevv neo

[potent portal]

The 980 Pro is fast but not nearly as fast as similar priced models. It's also prone to self harm from poor firmware versions x4.

[burnt dawn]

Friend said it was good for OS, with uh drm thing

I end up not using it lol

[dusky hearth]

huh

[burnt dawn]

waste of $ but i am using it for other purposes now

[muted patio]

Sk hynix plat 2 TB $130

[burnt dawn]

So sell it soon and get a new reliable SSD?

Actually nah

[dusky hearth]

how old is this build

[muted patio]

You already built this?

[burnt dawn]

Pc case and gpu and aio is fairly new.

and yes

Can i show the photo here?

[dusky hearth]

nobody's gonna stop you

[potent portal]

SSDs absolutely tank in value once they're used, especially known bad models

[burnt dawn]

True. Was just being polite since I don't hang out here

[dusky hearth]

tbf, somebody's probably going to not know and see "oooh samsung at inconcievable prices "

and then ez money

[potent portal]

Same as Dell does with Alienware now

[sand plover]

I am being told to not get a 4090 because I won’t have a good monitor. What if I just keep the 4090 until I get a better monitor?

[dusky hearth]

damn that cpu block is

chonky

[burnt dawn]

That was me

but tbh

i acquired 980 about a year ago

[sand plover]

Btw gaming is my second hobby I play hockey

[potent portal]

If you're buying a 4090 then you should be able to afford a better monitor, or save $600+ and get a 4080 super and use that savings to get a better monitor

[sand plover]

B-but 4090 :c

[dusky hearth]

you'll likely get the same fps with a 4080s as a 4090 in roblox

[potent portal]

You will not notice any difference in most games unless you're playing at 4k native resolution

Ok, $190 for it

I guess I ripped my bank for no good reason

[sand plover]

I play ummmm

[dusky hearth]

or hell, even if you had a reg 4080

[sand plover]

Other stuff too

[dusky hearth]

yeah

like

what

[sand plover]

Ummmm

[potent portal]

If it's miraculously better priced than the super yeah

[sand plover]

Ummm

[burnt dawn]

Why 4090

[muted patio]

Roblox and GTA v

According to past comments

[burnt dawn]

Dang, guess I use its full value until it dies

[sand plover]

I will play 5m, beamng, genshin impact, gta and I wanna make games

[burnt dawn]

and then RMA it and pray they ship new one to me

and sell it

[potent portal]

Dang Vintage pulling the comment history lol

[sand plover]

Main games btw

[dusky hearth]

none of those need a 4090 and/or are unlikely to see an increase in fps from it

[burnt dawn]

Imo no need for 4090

4070ti super probs good enough

[sand plover]

What if I want to say I have a 4090?

[burnt dawn]

💀

[dusky hearth]

well, that's an expensive thing to say

[sand plover]

😭

[burnt dawn]

you're gonna make ppl mad at you. 🤣
your money by end of the day.

[potent portal]

You could make use of a 4090 in beamng... if you scale the display to 16k

[dusky hearth]

you'll probably get flamed for having something so overkill and not use it

[burnt dawn]

^

Cus

you arent fully using 4090 resources

[dusky hearth]

not even a good monitor

[sand plover]

I’ll have a oled monitor thats 27 inches and I wanna play with max graphics

[dusky hearth]

[burnt dawn]

if you stay with 1080p/1440p

[sand plover]

I’ll buy a monitor one day that’s oled

My goal

[burnt dawn]

Theres one already. ASUS OLED 27" 1440p

[dusky hearth]

by then the 4090 would no longer be a flex

[potent portal]

Then it's probably 1440p which gets next to no difference between the 4080 and 4090

[sand plover]

Ummmm let me think

Wb if I get a 5080S when it’s out?

[potent portal]

In 6 months?

[burnt dawn]

Chonky? U havent see Deepcool Assassin IV

[celest horizon]

You should buy an ada 6000 instead, also I totally don't own $nvda

[sand plover]

Maybe?

[dusky hearth]

it's chonky for a cpu block

[burnt dawn]

aaaa

[dusky hearth]

for watercooling/aio

[burnt dawn]

if i take the screen off

[dusky hearth]

it's a whole cube

[sand plover]

Can I get like wraps or stickers to make my gpu look nice?

[burnt dawn]

it looks little small

with a fan

[celest horizon]

epower it

[potent portal]

You can custom design a wrap, or plasti-dip the shroud

[sand plover]

I’ll have to see because I’m dumb

[dusky hearth]

throw money at it and you'll have the solution

[sand plover]

What if I play vr games

4090 helpful?

[dusky hearth]

depends on your headset

[potent portal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmods/comments/8xqh46/guide_painting_gpu_using_plasti_dip/

[dusky hearth]

but yeah, you're more likely to see improvement with a 4090 in vr than in flat

vr is higher res

[sand plover]

I have a oculus quest 2

[burnt dawn]

nah keep the GPU raw look and appreciate the look

[dusky hearth]

that is more like .... 2 1440p displays?

2160 x 2160 pixels per eye

[burnt dawn]

Anyways about SSDs

[potent portal]

Basically 4k

[burnt dawn]

I see sk hynik 2tb for $134 dollars

nice

[stoic island]

which one

[burnt dawn]

I plan to replac my 980 later in the future anyways with 4TB nvme

[muted patio]

Plat

[stoic island]

p31 or p41?

[burnt dawn]

p41

[muted patio]

P41 plat

[dusky hearth]

though quest 2 is... kinda bad
also quest 3 as well, it has so much compression even when using it through usb due to bandwidth limitations

[potent portal]

Very good drive

Top tier even

[stoic island]

yea, good drive

[burnt dawn]

i have a sk hynik 1tb as storage

[muted patio]

Yeah the p41 gold is top gen 3 drive too

*31

[sand plover]

Good yay

Any ideas what the 50 cards will be priced at

[dusky hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-evil-one-billion-dollars-haha-money-gif-16679435

[muted patio]

Quest is 1832x1980 pixels per eye.

[dusky hearth]

they got a quest 2

[burnt dawn]

Is that enough to drive 4090 to full perf?

[muted patio]

That is quest 2

[dusky hearth]

oh

[sand plover]

What’s that mean though?

Like should I get 4090

[muted patio]

No

4080 maybe

[dusky hearth]

it means you should get a better headset if you want a 4090

like a bigscreen beyond or smth

pimax crystal

[burnt dawn]

One question for you Dani

Do you care to use RT and Frame Generation?

Ray tracing*

[sand plover]

Or I can just get the 6080S

[dusky hearth]

this is real

[sand plover]

Not sure what the second one is and for the first one not really at the moment

[burnt dawn]

blud is trolling at this point now

[muted patio]

Has been the whole time

[sand plover]

How?

[dusky hearth]

i swear 60 series boxes are going to look like the youtube diamond play button

40 series already looks like it, without the fancy geometry

with the big champers

[sand plover]

What’s frame generation

[dusky hearth]

that's not the right spelling

chamfers

[burnt dawn]

Basically

fps boost

with Nvidia blah blah blah technology

Amirite?

[sand plover]

Then maybe what are the downsides

[dusky hearth]

it's ai upscaled
