The EVO is fully white, the other one has that translucent grey part
mossy lion
The EVO is fully white, the other one has that translucent grey part
what about performance is there any difference
weary galleon
should be the same
mossy lion
569 a decent price for it thou or is that too high?
potent portal
There is at most a 2% difference between the cheapest and most expensive models, generally speaking
weary galleon
^non-super btw
mossy lion
sounds like this might be a bad gpu to buy rn lol
potent portal
It's just a weird time to buy in general
With the new GPUs coming soon™️ the last gen has been discontinued, driving up prices until the next gen drops
mossy lion
so invest in a 50 series then?
potent portal
Or wait a month and buy a 40 series for cheaper
Since 50 isn't game changing in any way
mossy lion
ok makes sense
mossy lion
Since 50 isn't game changing in any way
yea i saw some videos showing benchmarks of comparing to the 40 series
potent portal
The 5090 is the only one with official benchmarks so far and it's the outlier for the series
mossy lion
oh ok thank you
potent portal
There's leaks for the 5080 showing it's about 10-15% better than the 4080 and it achieves this mostly by consuming 15% more power
long rock
Nividia consuming more power? I never would have thought
No offense but, power hungry expensive VRAM lacking GPUS, I don’t know how they still do buisness
plucky timber
Right now the 7900XT is pretty good value
potent portal
Nividia consuming more power? I never would have thought
5090s are about to start melting 12V2x6 cables since they pull damn near 600W through it at stock settings, and I saw some reviewers noting that their FE cable got above 65C
plucky timber
I unironically think that the 7900XT is going to remain a good choice because of how mediocre 50 series is looking

For the value
Unless you need nvenc... For some reason
Or RT
Or if you play on 4K
plucky timber
Yeah Nvidia just... Doesn't care anymore
potent portal
Nvenc is barely a reason anymore too since AMD's encoder is almost as good
plucky timber
And if you need something better for actual encoder needs (like a plex server)
There is always intel
potent portal
The new one is supposed to be a genuine improvement but the last gen one can do 4k streaming so it's moot

potent portal
Ye 100W when transcoding 480p to 1080p lol
plucky timber
It's made with the cheapest parts
And since you're going AM4 anyways
You could do much better
This is pretty overpriced
sage thunder
is this pc upgradable? like for a gpu and whatnot https://a.co/d/0XU73OV
i need a prebuilt thats 500 dollars but upgradable
and somewhat decent
so i picked a random one with decent ratings
sage thunder
You're better off buying used
whats a good used prebuilt for 500
that has a white case
sage thunder
a white case? 😭
potent portal
You won't be gaming on that until you throw another $250 into it at minimum for a used GPU and power supply (because there's no way they give you more than 400W)
plucky timber
You can buy a $450 prebuilt and swap out the case
People don't tend to sell white pcs used
potent portal
5700G has a GPU built in... that can play rocket league at 720p low
plucky timber
At least not white pcs that JUST has a white case
potent portal
White parts cost on average about 10-20% more than comparable spec black parts
plucky timber
They usually come with other white parts
Which bumps the price up by a stupid amount
sage thunder
im just looking for a decent white pc thatll let me play on it at like 60 fps
potent portal
Play what and at what settings
Because any PC can play at 60 fps if you turn down all the settings and set resolution to 720p
plucky timber
PS5
It is possible to get a decent white pc at $500 with used and new parts
But not as a pre-built
You have to compromise on one of your requirements
Right now you have:
$500 Budget
White case
Pre-built / Used build
Decent performance
You will have to compromise on one of those factors
At least
sage thunder
why is black cheaper then white
plucky timber
Greed
sage thunder
ah
plucky timber
Exotic colour sells
sage thunder
i just need white to match my room and my setup
potent portal
White is less popular and so it gets less sales, which means economies of scale don't apply as much. This means profit margins on white parts are lower than black, so they charge more to make up for that.
plucky timber
Because you cannot get a white prebuilt that doesn't have garbage performance
sage thunder
is there a pc that runs like a steam deck lcd on windows
plucky timber
?
sage thunder
because steam decks are cheap
sage thunder
You can run windows on it
but i want a tower pc
plucky timber
I don't think you understand
You cannot get everything you want
Not at that budget
sage thunder
okay
plucky timber
You can compromise on one of those factors
Like getting a custom built pc
Or a used build and then swapping the case
What you are asking for does not exist on the market (not for $500, unless you want to compromise on performance)
Unless you're extremely lucky on facebook marketplace or something
sage thunder
Like getting a custom built pc
that would be fine but im mainly asking for a prebuilt because my parents dont want me building it
plucky timber
Well yes but
It's just not possible at $500 to get everything you want
Prebuilts at $500 are notoriously bad in price/performance
You'd be getting something barely better than an office pc
Used builds would be an better option
But most likely you won't have a white case
That is probably your best option
mossy venture
ps5
plucky timber
Or a ps5
sage thunder
ok sorry but is a ryzen 5 3600 and a gtx 1660 super, good
mossy venture
theyre ok
plucky timber
For $500 eh
sage thunder
ok i found a 300 dollar pc with them
plucky timber
Eh
sage thunder
ill buy it and upgrade
plucky timber
That's not bad
mossy venture
300 is solid
plucky timber
ill buy it and upgrade
Upgrade to what?
mossy venture
whats the rest of the specs
plucky timber
I doubt you can have anything substantial for $200
I'd stick with the pc for a bit
mossy venture
maybe a 5600/x or 5700x3d if lucky
plucky timber
Then upgrade when you have a bit more money
mossy venture
psu prob needs swapping
sage thunder
Upgrade to what?
idk, i have 200 dollars left so maybe a used graphics card
sage thunder
whats the rest of the specs
mossy venture
idk, i have 200 dollars left so maybe a used graphics card
maybe, but it depends on the rest of the parts
plucky timber
Is a 1660S to a 5700XT that substantial too?
Ehhhh
Oh god that psu
That is half a bomb
potent portal
5700 XT would be like a 2070 without RT
plucky timber
Ram is atrocious
sage thunder
i didnt look at the rest of the specs
sage thunder
should i spend more money on a better psu?
mossy venture
its C tier if i remember right
D tier is 550w and below
it's not great, but passable
plucky timber
1080ti?
plucky timber
pushing it?
mossy venture
more power efficient
sage thunder
okay, what should i upgrade?
mossy venture
okay, what should i upgrade?
id say buy it and chill with it, come back if it doesnt satisfy you
plucky timber
Ram is sub optimal but if it works it works
mossy venture
and well figure that out then
plucky timber
For $300 it really isn't too bad
mossy venture
theres a few paths you could take
plucky timber
Prebuilt quality but way better value
mossy venture
long term, that motherboard can support a 5700x3d, and with a psu upgrade you could throw a 7900xt equivelant in there later on
sage thunder
long term, can it support a 3060
potent portal
RAM and SSD would be good candidates for upgrade later
plucky timber
Meh
mossy venture
wouldnt bother with a 3060, but easily
sage thunder
okay, thanks guys
mossy venture
5700xt/1080 ti/2070 super/6600xt all match it for cheaper
potent portal
3060=2070=5700 XT
plucky timber
I wouldn't go from a 1660S to a 3060
At least not with the price
3060 is overpriced as hell in the used market
mossy venture
5700xt/1080 ti/2070 super/6600xt all match it for cheaper
match it or beat it"
sage thunder
i thought 3060s were good?
sage thunder
oh okay
mossy venture
30% better and only cost $70 more
plucky timber
3060ti > 4060
potent portal
The 3060 is only common now because they were easy to mass produce during the shortages
mossy venture
i was a proud 3060 ti owner until it decided living wasnt on its agenda
sage thunder
is 380 good for a 3060 ti
plucky timber
Ehhhhhh
mossy venture
no
potent portal
no
mossy venture
$225 max
plucky timber
That's really bad tbh
sage thunder
first result on amazon so
plucky timber
Isn't that 7700XT price range
mossy venture
oh on amazon
potent portal
good old scamazon
mossy venture
7600, 6700xt, 6750xt, 7700xt
sage thunder
ill buy it and come back if theres a problem
mossy venture
pls not a $380 3060 ti
sage thunder
the pc obvi
plucky timber
Ok good
mossy venture
ok ty
sage thunder
i cant run a 3060 ti on nothing
plucky timber
And reminder
Gpu prices might drop
With 5070 coming out
You could get a better deal on gpu upgrades later
sage thunder
your right i forgot about that
plucky timber
I'd say use the pc for a couple months
And upgrade when you got more money down the line
(prices may also drop on cpu and gpu later)
potent portal
Did anyone notice the shipping cost on that $300 pc
mossy venture
i did not
potent portal
I just now clicked the link lmao
plucky timber
Shipping to his location?
sage thunder
its 79.20 for shipping
mossy venture
check facebook marketplace
sage thunder
ill check
potent portal
Keep it on the backburner as you look around some more
It's still not the worst deal you could find
plucky timber
Yeah

2017 slop build
potent portal
Oh god no I was so wrong

not terrible if the build is right
plucky timber
Yeah if it's a decent price and had a decent cpu
sage thunder
https://www.ebay.com/itm/405450126302 this is the build
plucky timber
You can always upgrade it
sage thunder
31 dollars shipping
sage thunder
okay
plucky timber
Ofc it has vengeance...
sage thunder
72 dollar shipping
plucky timber
Case has no airflow
mossy venture
i think bad psu but no clue tbh
sage thunder
so bad
plucky timber
I mean it's not the worst we've seen here
mossy venture
case is w/e
mossy venture
id say others better
plucky timber
Extremely mid
sage thunder
is the 300 dollar still best deal?
plucky timber
It costs less with shipping
Upgrading it to a better cpu will still be cheaper
Better gpu too
It's still better
Any more?
sage thunder
plucky timber
That is a straight up scam
plucky timber
Quad core
sage thunder
so bad?
plucky timber
Yes
It's sus when they just list "i7"
AHAHAHAH
AHAHAHAHAHA

I7 dates from latest Intel releases back to 2009 so you can't really gauge much off that

plucky timber

plucky timber
Psu is potentially sus
plucky timber
so no
Ehhh
I'd keep it on the backburner
This one isn't too bad
I'd still take the $300 + $80 shipping one over it
But it's not too atrocious
sage thunder
does quad anything equal bad
rain carbon
Depends
potent portal
The 1660 super still beats the 6500 XT btw
sage thunder
as in i7 quad
plucky timber
If it's got a quad core i7 it's probably ancient
potent portal
By a lot
mossy venture
i highly doubt that psu is reliable
sage thunder
If it's got a quad core i7 it's probably ancient
ok
plucky timber
Ok this one is a trash then
rain carbon
Quad core count is a bit outdated
mossy venture
The 1660 super still beats the 6500 XT btw
i think id still say 3600/1660s build
plucky timber
A modern i3 can destroy those older quad core i7s
sage thunder
so do i get the 380 dollar one and upgrade some components like the gpu if unhappy
potent portal
12100 beats the 9900K in gaming typically
plucky timber
Is that all?
rain carbon
Yee, in a lot of cases modern single core performance is way better than older multi
plucky timber
All of the ebay listings?
sage thunder
no just getting tiring
mossy venture
so do i get the 380 dollar one and upgrade some components like the gpu if unhap...
theres a few options, but first major upgrade would be gpu yeah
plucky timber
Fair
mossy venture
but you need a decent enough psu to handle gpu, depending on the upgrade
aside from that, more storage, replace the ram, and new cpu
sage thunder
is intergrated graphics bad first
rain carbon
Also even just for ease of mind, no point having a bomb in your pc
rain carbon
is intergrated graphics bad first
Use case dependant
sage thunder
sage thunder
okay
plucky timber
This is garbage for $500
rain carbon
Its really just a "i need something to hold me over until i get a real gpu"
potent portal
For reference, the iGPU on the 5600G and 5700G loses to the GTX 1030
rain carbon
Yeah that's pretty rough lol
sage thunder
ill get the 300 plus 80 dollar shipping and see if theres anything good for 120 to upgrade some
plucky timber
ehhhhh
I'd just
Save up more money
You can't really get much for $120
I'd just use it for a while
sage thunder
okay
potent portal
Maybe toss another M.2 drive in there for some more storage so you can put more games on at once
512GB gets you exactly one call of duty game these days
rain carbon
Isn't the 8600g also only equivalent to about a 1630?
sage thunder
what ram is it? like ddr4, ddr3 or ddr5
mossy venture
Isn't the 8600g also only equivalent to about a 1630?
8700g is 1650
8600g isnt too far behind
rain carbon
Oh damn much better than i thought
potent portal
what ram is it? like ddr4, ddr3 or ddr5
The $300 PC was DDR4, and the ideal speed of memory for that CPU is 3600 on a kit with 2x16GB sticks
$45 kit right now iirc

Specifically white parts, because for whatever reason, manufacturers often like to charge more for the white coloured counterparts of components

how do i know if a product is a scam on ebay before buying
rain carbon
if chingwingbangdaupooskimbobtaifu is selling it for a stupid price
always check names, reviews, read the reviews for any discrepancies, and make sure you know the value of the product
seller history is also important

how do i know if a product is a scam on ebay before buying
Check the username, also see how many photos of the item they have. The more, the better. Also. Check the background, if he has boxes and boxes of the same item stacked up, ive heard that its a sign of scalping
The description is important too, excessive use of emoji’s is probably a scam
Also, ask the seller lots of questions, as bad as it sounds
Something seems fishy if they are just like, “here, its for sale, no questions, just take it.”

Hardware:
MoBo = MOBO is Z170A SLI PLUS
CPU = I5-66OOK (I will post this in the Intel Mobo forums also now that I see it is Intel)
CPU Cooler = Unknown. There aren't any markings on the cooler; on the pump it only says made in China, Input power for Pump = 12V, and a very long list of letters/numbers over a barcode that doesn't result anything with a google search.
GPU = NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 - 6GB
RAM = RIPJAWS DDR4-2800 CL15-16-16-35 1.25v Intel XMP 2.0 Ready
PSU = High Power 600w Model: HPG-600ST-F12S
At this point I've removed each component individually, with no change in results. Still the same as the subject of the post. Hard drives out, GPU out, Cooler Out, all but MOBO, one RAM Chip, PSU, and case/fans remain.
Connected to an HP 27EB monitor via HDMI to onboard HDMI port.

So my PC has been having issues where it black screens and restarts randomly. I think it's my psu.
I haven't been able to avoid using it because I have responsibilities that require me using it. But I have ordered a new PSU and everything.
Onto today, it restarted twice while I was having to use it. And on the 3rd time I wasn't getting a display. My gpu light is on, the power button light is on. But it didn't look like my case fans were spinning. Did the psu just finally crap out? Or could it be some other hardware issue now?

It's probably over-heating. If the fans aren't spinning, that's a problem.
fair raven
No parts got past 60c when in use
and the fans only stopped spinning after this last crash when the display wouldn't come on
I should say mobo lights, not gpu lights* sry.

I may be wrong and I'm open to suggestions. seeing the mobo rgb light are on and the case power button is lit up. But the case fans aren't spinning and no display. I don't smell anything burnt but it smelled warm. I think my psu just further died and isn't able to deliver enough power at all now. But I'm new to this stuff and open to suggestions.

(discord has lossless compression)
potent portal
lossless compression is a paradoxical phrase
weary galleon
Is it?
potent portal
In order for it to be compressed, something must be lost
dusky hearth
I mean
weary galleon
I don't think that's necessarily true
Lossless compression can be undone
It has a much lower compression ratio than lossy though
dusky hearth
Hmm... Actually I can't think of an example of anything that can be compressed without losing anything (it could be returned but it does lose it temporarily)
Like even physics, because this is literally how a heat pump works
It compresses a gas which makes it lose thermal energy, then when it decompresses it steals the thermal energy from the location it's expanding from to replenish the lost thermal energy from compression and the cycle continues
potent portal
And in the case of discord compression, it doesn't bother to decompress it before displaying it unless you go out of your way to open it in the browser
weary galleon
Yeah lossless has to be de-compressed/reversed
dusky hearth
And for data compression, you have to remove data to make it compressed, whether or not you can reconstruct the data perfectly or not will still result in data temporarily being lost, even if temporarily
Though technically not "truly lost"
weary galleon
And for data compression, you have to remove data to make it compressed, whether...
But if you can restore it, was it really lost 🤔
dusky hearth
And in the case of discord compression, it doesn't bother to decompress it befor...
I honestly hate this
potent portal
You can temporarily lose things, like your car keys
It was definitely lost until it was found
dusky hearth
But if you can restore it, was it really lost 🤔
I mean, if you lose a pet since it ran away, you can still recover them
weary galleon
Ok but like the original data is all there, it just needs to be decompressed. You can send the file to someone else and they can do the decompression; they don't have to search around on your PC to find the "lost" stuff
potent portal
And your car keys are still there, they just need to be found
Until then they're lost
dusky hearth
If you don't have the program capable of decompressing the file, technically it's lost
Actually, funnily enough, this is a problem with long term data preservation because there's no guarantee that a file system would still exist or be compatible like 50 years in the future or whatever
weary galleon
If you don't have the program capable of decompressing the file, technically it'...
This is a good point actually. Lossless compression relies on the future viewer to be able to decompress it
dusky hearth
If you don't have the program capable of decompressing the file, technically it'...
Asides from that problem, the medium for storage also might not last that long
potent portal
M-disk claiming long life but who's to say they can even read physical media in 100 years
weary galleon
Yeah I do kinda doubt we'll forget PNG before our storage breaks/corrupts
dusky hearth
The only medium I've seen that actually might be able to last their claimed time is the quartz 3d whatever storage which currently like 2 exist, one for the human genome and the other for like something cultural or smth
potent portal
I remember seeing that, it's really cool and doesn't need any special hardware to read, just a microscope and polarizer
dusky hearth
But also pretty impractical for.... Pretty much anything lol
At least not in its current state
potent portal
Yeah but for things that need to be literally written in stone for future generations to find after, say, some global disaster, this is the way
It does need refinement, true, but any good tech does
dusky hearth
Instead of memory chips like in cyberpunk, what if we just like rolled one of these in our heads like a coin for a gumball machine and come out with the knowledge of 360 terabytes
potent portal
The human brain has a storage capacity of about 74TB in the frontal cortex
Replace brain with rock
Second coming of the stone age
Total capacity is about 2.5PB though so can't replace the whole thing
dusky hearth
TBF, if there's some breakthrough in Woah super efficient like quantum compression whatever that is also perfectly lossless, I feel like png would eventually become obscure
Though TBF the true OG image format, bitmaps still exist and can be used, but also is rarely used since it has absolutely no compression
potent portal
We still have NO IDEA how quantum is going to change things
I imagine early uses will be for cryptography

obsidian wigeon

potent portal
Can't read a message if your computer doesn't understand that it's not 1 and 0, it's 1-infinity

If you look at it from the perspective of a waveform, it's halfway between 1 and 0
But then you can divide that a theoretically infinite number of times

Personally not much of a fan of rear intake since that isn't filtered most of the time (but if front intake also isn't filtered then it's fine)
stable cove
Usually we need slightly more intake than exhaust
Just trying to put the fans in the right places
dusky hearth
You could also run the front fans faster than the exhaust, also it's not a strict rule
potent portal
You can just run the intake fans faster to compensate if it's not balanced
