>>108106507OP is an autistic control freak nigger who freaks out if anyone else bakes but him with a different version. That's why he bakes early.
op edit is taken from >>108103982
Don't use this thread. OP is a nigger who keeps early baking to prevent anyone else from making it because he thinks he owns the general like it's his personal subreddit.Use previous until it reaches around page 6-8 at which point the real next thread will be made>>108102082>>108102082>>108102082
$400 USD for a 27 inch 1440 ASUS OLED.I really rather have a 32 inch 4k one. But $400 for that monitor is really good deal.
>>108106608See >>108106605Ask your question in the previous thread. You will not be helped in a troll thread
>>108106608Some nigga opened it, tested it, and decided they didn't like it. Maybe not a bargain.
>>108106605>>108106614Gonna be honest with you, I don't give a fuck who the OP. I never even look at the OP post.
PSA: Fractal Design makes the best pc cases
>>108106635>never even look at the OP post.nigga the OP >>108106417 is asking (you) to look at the change made and comment on it
>>108106663meh to tiny fishtanks.
>>108106673That's cool. I still haven't even glanced at the OP of this thread. Don't plan to, either.Now, should I buy this monitor? >>108106608$400 is a crazy good deal. But it'd be 70$ to ship it to the USA.
>>108106635i just scan for the brand war jeet fud...this just has vram fud which at least isn't shilling.not too bad.

>>108106663
I really want a good 32" OLED, but god damn, these are all so expensive.
>>108106912just pay up already goyim, then start eating less until you've recovered the money

>>108106939i could never get past the front looking like some old boomers floor standing speaker grilles after the kids were old enough to be shoved outside.
>>108106951i just like the 3d "effect" of it. looking at it from all sides it just changes a bit. oh yeah forgot. they should also remove the glossy plastic arround it.
>>108106906it's cool but I can't use non-dual chamber cases anymore, the airflow is that much betterI wish lian li would launch the 011 air mini again, that was a good case, also wish they stopped using tempered glass side panels

>>108106971that one has glass front panel instead of mesh it's objectively worse
>>108106978oh they made a good one?
>>108106981I think it's out of production nowhttps://lian-li.com/product/o11-air-mini/
>>108106989it does indeed look like a good one. never seen it before. i guess that is why they don't make it anymore. everyone just went for the full glass version lel.they are still selling some tho.https://geizhals.de/lian-li-pc-o11-air-mini-o11amx-a2600079.html
>>108107005I think they'll probably relaunch it and make bigger, gpus nowadays are hitting 430mm
>just built a new PC>cost around $2100>only have a very shitty IPS 1080p monitor right now>new rig can do 4k fairly easily >a good 32" monitor easily costs $1000It's insane how a monitor can be the most expensive part of your build.
>>108107036only if you fall for the oled and 4k jewish trick, the real ones use ultrawide VA (oled is fine if you can afford it)
is $400 an okay price for a ryzen 7 7800X3D?
>>108107031well if the first one didn't sell well they won't make a second one.
>>108106417have an old tower lying around that I got for free a few years ago, what should I do with it?specs of the shit tower: CPU is a Haswell i5 4570, GPU is a GTX 950 and it has 8GB of RAM (it had 16GB but it was mismatched RAM) and a free HDD I got off a friend. The motherboard wifi/wifi card/antenna thing doesn't work. I'll probably get some more RAM (DDR3) for it and maybe upgrade to a haswell i7, but I wanted to see what anons think. I haven't touched the thing in years because I don't really have space for a desktop to be (it's a full sized ATX build.)
>>108106879(X) DoubtUnless they mean some kind of cluster.
meme or not?
after I'm done my build idk what to do with my old one. Its got a 1070 and other components in that range.is reselling notably older components worth, do they even have value to sell them? or am I better of just keeping my old build as a backup in case I need to replace/repair my upgrade
>>108106663>>108106897The base Meshify 3 is just a tad too small with larger GPUs becoming obstructions to the middle front fan, looks weird as a result. Meshify 3 XL on the other hand is too damn big.
>>108107074it's probably really good, but would be better if made by a bigger company
>>108107074is that a b550 tomahawk btw?
>>108107097it's not mine. i just looked for one and how it would look like in a build.https://pcpartpicker.com/b/qK2mP6
>>108107090the meshify c is just the right size
How does PTM work in the "turns to liquid when hot"? Wouldn't that mean it would pump out very easy or any sections which are spilling out over a component would be a bad thing? Clearly it doesn't seem to have a negative effect so what is actually meant by its phase change? Is it very quickly shifting in between liquid and solid so that this isn't truly a problem? But then how does it perform its function which is apparently to be a very high quality and evenness TIM?
>>108107111yeah it's a b550 tomahawk, I have the same motherboard and the same cpu as that guy and I also have a 9070xt but sadly not the xfx oneI think that particular cpu cooler would benefit a lot from a case that draws air from the bottom, any dual chamber case
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NmQ9Tmpoor college student. Not looking to take out a loan for a machine capable of basic bitch gaming and school work. This is an HTPC from a friend's dad. He upgraded the GTX 1050 Ti that was in there to an RTX 5050, found out it's louder. He also added the WD Black laptop hard drives and complains they're "loud when seeking data". I don't care about any of that. He asking $500 and I know I can talk him down to like $480 if not less. I'm basically buying an RTX 5050 at MSRP with an attached Intel 10th gen build. The case has an included SFX 450w PSU
>>108106663so they made a non bling bling gold version that doesn't look like ass but they don't give you the option to buy one with the mesh side? are they retarded?
>>108107142it's honestly a bunch of junk but if it works why not, if amd releases new x3d am4 cpus as they should you could change the cpu and motherboard in a few months for a pretty good upgradealso should try to get 24 inches screens
Gentlemen. I just recently acquired a RX 9060 XT. Installed the drivers and the AMD software. For some reason I am lagging in windows 11 and in game. CPU is AMD 5 5500. Any ideas before I return the card?
>>108107192you should check if you are retarded.
>>108107192>lagging in windows 11Oh dear. Time to learn how to tune your system. Lots of guides for you out there. Just Google it.
>>108107192turn off shit like virtualization based security
>>108107184>it's honestly a bunch of junk but if it works why notIt's a working PC with a "gaming GPU" that I'm going to get for $500 or less. As is I can hardly find a build with roughly these specs that doesn't start at $750. If it still had the 1050Ti I wouldn't even glance at it. I'm just trying to play Overwatch, Apex Legends, similar kind of games when i'm not doing school work. I know I'll be using all the Nvidia DLSS, frame gen and other such wizardry to get 100+ fps, but that's fine to me.>24" monitorsSeems ASrock makes 120HZ 1080p IPS 24" panels for $77 each. I'll get 2 of those. >new AM4 X3D CPU'ssince fucking when? AM4 is dead. No way they're releasing more. They already made the 5500X3D as an unannounced launch in some countries.
>>10810714216 GB with that whole package price? Yeah, decent enough if you can bargain. A 5050 isn't exactly a slouch once undervolted/OCed. Just beware that 16 will run out easily these days.
>>108107231https://videocardz.com/newz/new-ryzen-cpus-for-am4-may-be-back-on-the-menu-as-amd-considers-reintroducing-select-skus
it's over warthunder bros....
>>108107217>>108107230Whats funny is that was on a 6600 with 4gv vram and didn't have any lag.
>>108107236yup being sold as a package deal because the guy is building a big boy HTPC next. he doesn't want to keep any of the older hardware. He says he's going full passive build for 4K playback. Guy's like autistic with noise. >5050 not a slouchOther than price it seems thats the opinion on it. Every video I could find are like "meh tier GPU, too expensive">16GB run out easilyI just want to play Apex Legends, Overwatch, some runescape or something while reading news. So long as this build can handle one of those games + discord, I'm happy.>>108107240RAM and memory overall is a big problem right now with supply lines. No way they bring back 3D chips. I could totally see them reviving a 5600XT or something.
>>108107266they will make new x3d cpus, it will happen, deal with it
>>108106876>chinkshit software?Worse, or better depending on your perspective, it has no software at all. It uses a generic “smart battery” HID interface that Windows treats sort of like a laptop battery. So your only options for configuration are the Windows power plan settings. The good news is that model has a Coulomb counter that counts the electrons as they get used, so it can accurately tell Windows how much battery percentage is left (instead of the shittier lithium units that just guess based on a curve). If you're tech savvy you can set up a Network UPS Tools (NUT) server locally to get things running with a bit more granularity compared to the windows power plan options, but they're a budget brand for UPS's and they only really expose a handful of variables in the driver, it'll tell you if it's on AC power (Online/OL), if it's on battery (On Battery/OB), and then the current battery charge level (0-100%). Once it does go from OL (on wall power) to OB (using the battery) it also exposes a final variable battery runtime, which is calculated in real time by the UPS itself using the coulomb counter mentioned earlier. So the time remaining counter is a very accurate counter, not just a guess of when the battery MIGHT die.
>>108107192>>108107259did you run DDU to entirely remove all your old GPU drivers before installing the new ones? AMD is known for being pissy about new drivers if there's any existing files from the prior GPU.>>108107273if they do, I'll jump on one 100%. AM4 going down in history as the platform/socket with the best longevity and performance ever.
>>108107288I did run ddu. I'm all out of ideas.
>>108107182>but they don't give you the option to buy one with the mesh side? are they retarded?The mesh side is counter productive to air circulation. If anything they need a solid side panel, maybe with even more intakes on the side panel. The idea being positive pressure at the front and nowhere to go but out the back. Ideally it should function like a sort of wind tunnel that grabs air around the components and forces it out the back. If you have a mesh side panel it gives the option for new fresh air to escape before it has a chance to replace old heated air around components.In other words. Glass panel good, solid aluminum panel better, leaky mesh panel bad.
Need a budget 1440p display since I don't have much in spending money currently. Anybody have any experience with Koorui? Their 24" is on sale on burger amazon right now and I'm tempted to get it.
>>108107357it gets kinda frustrating to rank order budget lcd monitorsthey can be bad or worse and you need motion tracking camera to figure out the image clarity and so on
I don't want to make a thread to ask this and it's kinda relatedI'm trying to find a switcher/adapter that has a single hdmi out, but input options for hdmi, usb-c, and usb-a. Basically several input options but just the one output. Trying to search for this gives me a billion ones where the INPUT is usb-c with a bunch of different outputs but that's not what I need. This shit is infuriating.
Bigger GPU had its advantage huh. I live in 3rd world SEAhole and my 4 slot GPU is 40c idle, 50 - 60c on full load
>browse Amazon for computer parts>laugh at all the Hispanics that post their riced computers with 3 sticks of RAM for some reasonI just don't get it Que es tu problema, amigos?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qF3kckcompletely new to PC building, I based my choices mostly on what was recommended in the OP as well as personal research but I’d appreciate any input on whether I’ve made major issues. it’ll be expensive for me, but I just want to avoid having to worry about upgrading for a while and that’ll be able to run games while I can also use it for work so I’d appreciate feedback
>>10810706752 cores can't just run on vacuum energy
>>108106879Why -K? Isn't desktop -S?
>Cougar Polar X2 1050W PSUHopefully this doesn't suck, it's supposedly A on SPL list and on HWBuster around 93 overall performance.
>>108107434What kind of work do you do? For gaming, you'll get a lot more bang for your buck (and also raw performance) with one of the X3D CPUs from AMD but depending on your work that might not be a better option
>>108107448Enjoy your warranty
>>108107454Hopefully I don't need it!
>>108107367I know at this price point you just have to lower your expectations. I expect the viewing angle isn't spectacular and the backlight isn't great, but actual reviews are hard to come by
>>1081074345070 ti is not great value at msrp + 50% intel cpu is fine if the focus isnt gaming, otherwise x3d cpus are betterid rec 2tb nvme but they're seemingly overpriced vs 4tb, its just a bit annoying if you have 1 big one that fails at some pointfractal case would look better and stuff like meshify 3 has top tier airflow1k w psu is only necessary for 5090 type gpu, a 750w would be enough otherwisemonitor has its own up and downsides, its ips miniled so the native contrast is bad and OLEDs are typically cheap enough to skip minileds and youd get better motion clarity and contrast
Is there some reason this monitor is $800 on bhphotovideo, but like $1300 everywhere else?
>>108107499I can't believe Gemini is more useful than /g/.
>>108107064>motherboard wifi/wifi card/antenna thing doesn't workIs it soldered in place or is it a discrete component? If its an m.2 you can probably cheaply replace it. You can also run mismatched RAM with the performance penalty, 8GB won't be enough for much. IDK what Haswells are going for these days, make sure the board will support it (maybe update BIOS) and best of luck.
>>108107623it's just an antenna adapter (not sure if the board even has built in WiFi) and I can't run the mismatched RAM for some reason because the machine refuses to boot when both RAM types are installed (which is strange because they're both clocked the same speed) And thank you anon.

Well, I got a monitor.Can't believe I talked myself into wasting money on this.
>>108107765>165hzdo they just arbitrarily lower it to segment it or something>>108107749all 5070 tis are expensive, theres some model variation with larger coolers or slight difference in production quality like using phase change pads or slightly better fans. if you ever connect a smart tv type device to it you might want a model with 2 x hdmi, most have 14k miniled can be fine if you primarily want it for work, since oled burn in. You might then consider a second oled monitor for anime and playing cs2
>>108107791No idea, but 240hz isn't even noticeable in the human eye.
>>108107749 (me)>>108107791good to know, thanks!

>>108107765my man I have a 4090 and even I didn't spend more than 500 CAD on my 4k
>>108108050Is your 4k an OLED with actual good specs?Or is some cheap AOC brand with horrible color accuracy?
Is there such tech for monitors to make use of twin cables in order to reach higher res + framerate, even with lower spec cables? As in plug in two DP1.4s to the same GPU and they either alternate frames being sent or somehow send data in parallel.
>>108108126some demo tech was used to push higher bandwidth but then new cables came out and the bottlenecks became scalar chips or other components
>>108108113it is a 4k monitor I have not seen any flaws inIt works, gives me 4k, and doesn't do anything visually badI am not vulnerable to audiophile style grift so I reserved my money for actual parts that make a measurable difference
>>108108134The only way to enjoy a 1:1000 contrast ratio monitor is to use it for work and then use the salary money to buy drugs
>>108107749>mostly paperwork and spreadsheetsDefinitely switch your mobo to an AM5 and grab an X3D (7800 is still basically top of the line for gaming - you can theoretically get better with the newer ones but they're not worth the price IMO)Depending on where you live, jewmaxing with an AM4 and 5800X3D is probably not worth it
>>108106966>I wish lian li would launch the 011 air mini againI've been using one since 2021 maybe? All of the hardware inside has changed, but I still haven't found a case that hits the same sweet spot.
>>108107379I work with digital signs, and use all kinds of jank shit adapters. I'm not familiar with one that meets all your requirements.I don't think I've ever seen usb-a to hdmi.Have you already checked StarTech?
is the 3300x worth anything?
>>108108288I'm basically putting together a custom hidden desk + wall mounted screen and want to add in an easy input for the mounted monitorReally all I need to find is a video adapter that would be HDMI in and usb-c in with just HDMI-out (I've given up on usb-a in, not likely to be an issue anyway) that I can mount into the "wall" of the setupsomething like pic related but with HDMI out instead of a usb-c input if that makes sense - I don't want a switch, just something to shit out whatever the input currently is via HDMI
>>108108310you could use it to test out overclocking and see at what levels you start getting smoke out of your pc
>>108108315>HDMI in and usb-c in with just HDMI-outThat's what's in my pic lol
>>108108348Indeed, but looking for female inputs instead of having 3 cables sitting aroundI guess I could just grab a few female-to-female inputs and do it that way and hide the mess behind the wall anyway - if I can't find something else I'll do that, thanks anon
>>108107379>>108108315Why do you want three input options? Are you trying to have more than one device connect to this?
>>108108451More so that when I have guests over they can use the screen without worrying about compatibility
>>108107895Idiot. The same OP created both threads. I know because the OP is me.

>>108108479Ah not a bad idea. I feel like just getting converters would be easier in that regards. Though a little messier having to keep them somewhere safe and maybe a tad less convenient. And apparently usb c female to hdmi male are far and few because when trying to look it up I got the usual usb c male to hdmi female converters.
>>108106746Would you think that this case can cool down a 9700x and 5070 ti (msi shadow 3x)?
Has anyone here used both ~20L and ~40L cases? I'm wondering if there's that much of a difference in size in real life. Deciding between the Jonsbo D32 PRO and Antec FLUX M.
>>108108504as I was checking If my mobo can get this, I noticed there was a fix for sk hynix ddr5 rowhammer vulnerabilityhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-6202https://comsec.ethz.ch/research/dram/phoenix/I'm more worried about the fix than the vulnerability>How can I protect myself against the Phoenix attack?>As a mitigation for existing DRAM modules, we verified that tripling the refresh rate (tREFI ≈ 1.3 us) stops Phoenix from triggering bit flips on our test systems. Running SPEC CPU2017, we have measured that this mitigation incurs an overhead of 8.4%. For future devices, more principled mitigations are required to stop Rowhammer completely.
>>108108514Well, most anything is possible. I did one with a Minisform BD790i X3D which had the 7945HX3D SoC which is a laptop unit (55w vs the 9700x at 65w) with a 2.5 slot 5070 and a 750w SFX PSU. You would be limited by cooler height in such a small chassis. But the T9 was solid little ITX case, fully vented on all 3 sides but not the front.
>>108108544>this mitigation incurs an overhead of 8.4%Fuck. You will feel that.
>>108108551That's one way to mitigate it and we don't know how the update does it but I doubt it is free.

Is there any real risk using daisy chained pcie cables for a power hungry gpu really or is it a meme by poorfags with a shit psu?
>>108108860you are the poorfag with a shit psu if you don't how two 8pin's
>>108108860If you use two daisy chained 8-pin and the card pulls 300W for real, you're looking at something worse than those 12pin pulling 600W.

>>108109057mini ITX sandwich case with an AIO
>>108106663Loudest case in tests btw
>>108108126Yes, that was actually used like 10+ years ago on the first 4k 60Hz monitors, because a single cable couldn't carry the signal at the time. IIRC the way they worked was that the monitor pretended to be 2 screens side by side (each one would be half of the real screen). There was some support on the driver side as well so it worked seamlessly in theory. I never owned one but I think it wasn't quite as seamless as it should've been.These monitors were never super common as far as I remember, just the very earliest 4k 60Hz screens on the market and they were pretty quickly replaced by screens with newer HDMI / DP standards that could carry the signal over a single cable. I don't think this technique has been used since, at least not in the consumer space.>>108107379Not sure of a single device which does all that. You can find HDMI switchers and you should be able to find USB-C (DP alt mode) to HDMI converters as well, so you can just plug one of those into a regular HDMI switch. USB-A is going to be more difficult. USB-A doesn't carry any sort of video signal by the spec, no such standard exists.I think I've seen very basic video adapters which work over USB though, this would be something like a really shitty video card that connects over USB to the host and outputs HDMI video. The host would need to have an appropriate driver for it, I've never used such a thing to know about compatibility but I've seen them around, so they do exist.
I am once again thinking we might have peaked with 42" unironicallysooner or later I might have to try the C5 42" pillthe jump to 55" is huge, 32" can still def be bigger for desktop, 42" might have been the peak all alonghave to wait for a price drop yet again

FUCKING FINALLY, THAT TOOK FOREVER OH MY GOD. I should have never tried disassembling this card, because now my thermal pads are all fucked up and I have none to replace them with. I should have just slapped on the original heatsink and been done with it.So it was the fucking thermal pads or paste keeping the heatsink stuckafter all, my twisting and flexing was pointless.I still got that tip of the screw stuck in one of the standoffs, so my wrenching was pointless anyway and I don't even know if it can be removed. Fuck.

So I'm not worried even if the guy is trying to scam. But I hope he's just retarded and I get a really cheap SSD.
Dry mass of this 980 Ti heatsink is around 0.5-0.53kg, this card has only 0.36kg of metal and no vapor chamber at that, only aluminum and three copper heatpipes with the loudest fans you'll ever hear. Worse density too. Be careful of buying 3-fan cards as opposed to better dual-fan cards near MSRP if you can help it. This is a 200W vs 250W GPU priced almost identically in their respective time periods.>>108111353Too bad the three on the side there curled up under the mounting pressure of the heatpipes so it only half-cooled the memory, but other than that they still seemed real good. No memory temperature sensors though from what I remember though I got a good stable OC.
>>108107434Next gen PC's are going to come out in 2027 with DDR6 and new sockets, and GPU's with more vram, and with better future upgrade options (for a higher price).So, you have every reason to wait if you don't have an immediate need for a high spec gaming PC. And prices should get lower as supply gets corrected to match demand (but next gen PC's will be very expensive, but on the bright side, if the prices never get corrected, it's possible that next gen PC's end up not costing much more than current gen PC's).It would help if you could tell us what games you plan on playing, or what your current PC is like.Also an xbox or switch 2 would save you a lot of money if you don't pirate video games. Since usually our PC master race copium is usually we play indie games and emulators and pirate stuff to offset the fact we spend more than 2x more for the same level of power as a console (but xbox did increase the cost of game pass I heard).

She wasn't behaving like this a week ago I'm positive.
>>108111489What are the chances that we get AM6 and DDR6 by next year and the prices won't be absolutely fucked? Did I fuck myself by panic building an AM5 machine back in December?
Every GPU with a heatsink heavier than 200g should come with a metal backplate and a metal bracket to stiffen the PCB against sagging, this is really unacceptable for $400 and up GPUs. If your GPU doesn't have metal plates, that doesn't bode well for the build quality.
>>108111522next gen will be AM4 again, trust me
>>108111497>>108111506I thought that same thing and tried that, that's not my address.And it doubly doesn't make sense, because that package was delivered on the 9th, and he didn't ship it until the 10th.
>>108111558I'm just letting you know it IS a valid UPS tracking number, if that's not your town, then you need to contact the seller and show you're being proactive about it. Looks more favorable for you if Ebay does have to step in and arbitrate that you were proactive in reaching out to the seller to fix any potential issues before trying to get a refund.
>>108111522>What are the chancesNo chance.Zero chance that happens.These ai companies are offering their first born up to whoever can get them ram... so...
I actually don't need any high-end gpu I just realizedMy cpu does the simulation calculations anywayFaster renders won't make much a big deal if each frame takes less than 20 seconds anyway
>>108111583>then you need to contact the seller and show you're being proactive about it. Looks more favorable for you if Ebay does have to step inI did do that. I sent him a message over eBay when I noticed.
>>108111648If you do live in NJ you're going to have an uphill battle. Especially if you live anywhere near the town mentioned. If you live in a different state then you'll be fine.The current timeline for the seller he will likely use as his proof:>order placed on Feb 5th>ships on Feb 6th>delivered on Feb 9th>provides tracking number on Feb 10th showing proof of delivery, even if the number had an extra 5

If the GPU is running at a few hundred MHz then seeing some load from the OS, browsers and shit like that using hardware acceleration to render isn't too strange. If it's running at full 3D performance clocks and GPU usage is still that high then yes, I'd say it's something to worry about.

>>108111522You're good till 2031 little bro. DDR6 will not come into consumer use till 2029, and prices will be triple of current ddr5 prices. Ps there is just not enough wafer for new DDR6 sticks for the next year, neither the year after that
>>108111945>it's funny because it doesn'tYou speaking from experience or out of your ass? In the megabase I built (it was in 1.1, so before SA) when I last upgraded my CPU I was barely getting above 60UPS without 3D cache and over 100UPS with 3D cache. I have a 7950X3D so this is literally under completely identical conditions, same hardware, same OS, same settings everywhere, just changing which CCD the game ran on. The cache makes a massive difference, like 66% perf uplift simply from it being present.I've looked at some people building crazy shit in SA on 2.0 as well and they were all on X3D chips too.>>108112015GPUs run at higher or lower clocks depending on load. I'm sure you can understand how 50% load at 200 MHz isn't the same as 50% load at 3000 MHz.
>can't see how I would possibly get this out>can't put the broken screw in because it will not thread>can maybe get 3 screws in which will likely compromise mounting pressureFucking great, so I effectively just killed the resale value of my GPU my opening it up. Fuck my life, why do I have to regret everything I do.
>>108112001>>108112001>Malwarebytes is shittyYes anon. So was Norton, AVG and all the other stuff, it gives an added layer of protection.>Why torrent when direct download is easierNot for me, I've been out of the loop for some time and wouldn't know where to start. Why so cranky anon?
>>108111976Asus is meh. Gigabyte or bust.
>>108112040The process of actually testing to see how much load is on a gpu or cpu is pretty intensive aswell. When you're testing load on a particular piece of kit you might actually just be getting back the amount of load is required to check it.
>>108112016Vimms lair has almost everything you need....
>>108112061I can see that for a CPU (the CPU needs to run code to run the program which continuously displays CPU usage) but I don't really see why it would be the case for a GPU. I don't think it should take it out of idle state, surely.
>>108112055I mean laptops are pretty cheap these days. I keep my gaming rig completely offline and always scan the game files I download on my 4 core Intel shit box before moving it on my AM5 rig
>>108112071vimms lair is slow as shit. it was 200kb/s for crackdown 1 when the torrent was done in 10 seconds.

>>108112040Ok anon, please humour my lack of knowledge and deteriorating mental state. I think I follow, my GPU clock is showing 290-450MHz, so thats idle clocks?

>>108112190AMD\Valve fixed it while NVIDIA is still broken on Windows & Linux today.
>>108112190i can't play minecraft with shaders for more than 10 minutes without a GPU hangso yeah still broken
>>108112170This>>108112206Nothing has changed and we're still selling the idea that "this card can run games at 4k" the same spiel they sold with the 1080.
>>108112139Yes, that's idle. I haven't looked up what a 5060 Ti runs at under actual load but it's going to be like 2500-3000MHz probably. Depending on what you've got running on your PC (browsers, video playback, programs like Steam, anything else that could run with hardware acceleration) seeing some load % when clocks are that low isn't surprising.>>108112145>just look at the results on factorioboxI'll just look at the results on the hardware I own and on maps that I actually played until I hit hardware perf limits myself.>is this with EXPO enabled?Of course, running the typical 6000MT/s CL30 memory.

>>108112385I wouldn't say so because my 3080 is still running games like butter. But I need something to survive till 2028. I might just go with a used 4080 if I can find one cheap.How big of a difference is the 4080 and super?
>>108111770Making dreams come true>>108112415>>108112415>>108112415
>>108112256Well, yeah, I guess it isn't anymore unfortunately. I upgraded when the 7950X3D came out so it was back then. Had a look at price of my memory kit and it had gone up to 3-4x more than what I paid.>>108112270>but you're probably doing something wrong, just sayingNothing is wrong. I went through the whole process of testing the system and comparing numbers I was getting to benchmarks online when I built it and nothing was off in any test. I even "benchmarked" Factorio with some downloaded maps from FactorioBox and nothing was out of the ordinary, if anything I was getting better than average results.I'm guessing you don't actually play the game. The results on FactorioBox are highly unreliable, people have fucked up systems and numbers are all over the place on the same map and same CPU models. In addition to that, at least last I checked (which was years ago, to be fair), a lot of the benchmark maps were basically "toy" maps somebody made in the map editor. Perfectly placed, effectively infinite resource patches right where they needed them to optimize for direct insertion, a lot fewer resources moving around and a lot less logistics than you see in a normal playthrough. This doesn't load the game systems in the same way a real map does. "Benchmark" maps that barely use any trains, belts or bots are not going to be representative of how the game actually runs in the real world when you play normally.I also remember some reviewers being ignorant retards and also doing things like running the game on the wrong CCD, failing to notice this and not reporting on it, or providing corrected results. They also don't play the game and don't actually know how it's supposed to work.The only other reason for any differences would be differences in SA. Most specifically I've read that space platforms are perf hogs, maybe those in particular don't scale with cache. I haven't built a base large enough in SA to test it myself.

>>108112582>but it's fun to benchmarkThen as a tip, if you want anything resembling realistic results you should benchmark maps people actually played normally, not some of the editor shit that's popular for this purpose.

>>108112657Microsoft said my toilet an xbox
>>108112657I think I'd still get a steampile box for the lulz
>>108112637give me an example of that thenif you want, doesn't really matteri don't really see the problem with "synthetic" maps, it's the same game logic either way
>>108112657Microsoft said your mom is an xbox.
>>108112701It's the same game logic but if you don't build the things then the logic for those doesn't run. Like if you don't build trains, the train logic isn't used. I've seen maps people benchmark where they have infinite resource patches placed all over the map. Then they cheat in some insanely high mining productivity research and build their factories by doing shit like having a miner direct insert into a furnace, which then directly inserts into the building needing the plate. This is extremely efficient for UPS and it's why people build these maps, but it's not plausible to play this way on a real map because the resources simply do not spawn in a way which allows it.On a real map with normal settings (or some other default preset, train world or whatever) your resource patches run out. They're placed in maybe inconvenient places. You have to build and run things strictly for logistics to get your resources. You have to build a rail network or something else which allows you to easily replace patches as they run out and so on. You can't just have iron ore on the ground right next to every building in the game which needs iron plate, and so on.On real megabases that people actually play from a generated map you'll see the things I mentioned, big train networks with lots of trains and stations, many resource patches in use, defenses or effort put in to keep the biters away and so on. Of course effort is still made to be UPS efficient, but a generated map doesn't allow you to make use of them to the same degree as something you come up with in the map editor.
