Microsoft is facing backlash after laying off around 4,800 employees, including 1,600 from Xbox, while receiving approval for 2,273 H-1B visa workers in 2026.People argue the H-1B program is being used to replace American workers with lower-cost labor. Microsoft disputes the idea that the layoffs were directly tied to H-1B hiring. A company spokesperson said: “These decisions are based on business need, not visa status. H-1B employees were also impacted by job eliminations in the U.S.”
>>109260558DESU Sam is a grifter though.I will say this though. Most people have not yet realized that AI is simply an expression of God. We are all one, lol.
Windows users aren’t just going to sit and watch Rockstar launch GTA 6 exclusively on PS5 and Xbox PS5 emulator development is moving faster than ever, with GTA 5 already being booted using the KytyPS5 emulator. Developers still have months to make serious progress, and I wouldn’t underestimate the PC community. PS4 and PS5 use the same basic x86-64 CPU architecture as modern PCs, so developers don’t need to emulate everything from scratch. Some code can run directly on the PC, while the emulator translates the console-specific parts to make the game work.Holding GTA 6 back from PC just to make PC players wait is a dumb move anyway. Feels like Rockstar wants to push more PS5 and Xbox sales... wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some kind of exclusivity deal behind it.
>>109260527Only if you have an iPhone/ipad
>>109260558Fuck Sam he's the reason my RAM and SSDs are so expensive.
>>109260413Here's a small addendum to my battlestation. I lowered the monitor and added some mic stands for the speakers so now everything is leveled with my head. Also, I changed the keycaps on my keyboard. I'm still trying to figure out how to get this eGPU to work in Gentoo without everything freezing. Cable management is postponed.

Now that Samsung is finally throwing their previous gen QD-OLEDs in the trash, can someone explain to me what exactly what was causing them to have that magenta tint in the first place? It's not like the new Gen Panels have a polarization layer either, so what inside the guts of the panel was so damn purple that would have giving the Artist Formerly Known As Prince a Hard-On?
First I would like to thank The Lord Jesus Christ for motivating me and appreciating each day. 2nd, here's the miku sffpc I've been working on.

>>109260825The coating is supposed to keep the blacks black without fucking up the others colors, that's why it tookt hen a while to get to it.

So not only does Windows 11 have system restore points, but there are now 'Point-in-time restore' points as well.This shit was writing 50GB backups to the SSD every 72 hours, and you cannot adjust the frequency or retention period on Windows 11 Pro, not Pro for Workstations. You have to have Windows 11 Enterprise.It would legit use less SSD writes to just wipe the drive and do a clean OS install if it ever got bricked beyond recovery.

Is it okay to have two of the motherboard screws not screwed all the way in? Like they're tight and everything but they won't touch the flat part of the motherboard. It's doing that thing where all the screws screw in fine except for two and I really don't wanna keep screwing and unscrewing.

Before the game came out, the team behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was told that nobody would enjoy one of its key gameplay systems.Their response was direct. The lead said they “didn’t care” and moved forward anyway.The game is a turn-based RPG with new mechanics and lot of players and reviewers now point to these mechanics as some of the best things about it.
Palworld has made Steam history twice, Both its original launch and the 1.0 release are now among the biggest concurrent player peaks in Steam’s history, something very few games have ever achieved.Its original Early Access launch reached an all-time peak of 2,101,867 concurrent players, making it one of the biggest player peaks Steam has ever seen. Now, with the 1.0 release, the game has reached a new peak of 855,525 concurrent players in the last 24 hours, once again placing it among Steam’s biggest launches

The Black Ops ports have been the top sellers since they launched on PlayStation.The games are digital, and a lot of people who were trying to boycott PlayStation in over end of physical media bought them.All it took was some old ports with nostalgia and they already forgot about it. Yeah, PlayStation will push this since people keep buying digital.

Mexican lawmakers are preparing to file an antitrust complaint against Sony over its reported plan to stop releasing new physical PlayStation games after 2028.They argue that if the PlayStation Store becomes the only place to buy new PS5 games, Sony could gain too much control over prices and distribution.The complaint will reportedly be filed by Federal Representative Iraís Reyes and Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio with Mexico’s competition authority. They argue that:- Without physical copies, PlayStation users would lose the ability to shop around for the best prices.- Retailers that sell new games could be pushed out of the market.- The second-hand and game-trading market would effectively disappear.- Sony would have greater control over game pricing and distribution through the PlayStation Store alone.- Developers and publishers could become more dependent on Sony’s platform and its commercial terms.
Linux operating system users gained access to FSR 4.1.1 upscaler on RDNA 2 architecture graphics cards. This integration became possible due to the proton-cachyos-11.0 tool update.Any games with FSR 3.1 and higher support are automatically upgraded to FSR 4.1.1 version. Technology was tested in Resident Evil Requiem and Marvel Rivals.Tests confirmed stable functioning of algorithms. Official FSR 4.1.1 upscaling support for graphics adapters based on RDNA 2 architecture will only appear in early 2027.
>>109262068amd needs to push the developers to add fsr 3.1 on their games, there are a few decent games that don't have it, outer worlds 1, poe 2, probably more

It's been 15 years since I did this; my main drive and my video card are still on the way, but I stuck a Gen 3 M.2 in one of the secondary NMVe slots. So I'm just testing it, and it basically flashes through a bunch of codes, first the memory, then the CPU, then the VGA (which isn't installed yet but the sound card is) and then gets hung up on HDD with error D7. It's not posting obviously. Is this a good sign or a bad sign for the most important parts of the PC?
$250 for a tray 7800x3d y/n?
>>109262434have you checked your manual what D7 means?
>>109262458D6 and D7 just mean "No console input/output" devices found.I'm more worried about all the codes it goes through on all the other stuff before it finally settles on that one.
With 5080 Supers coming out next year, maybe I should just live with my 3070 Ti and then get the 5080S next year instead of getting a 5080 now?
>>109262456Yes, unless you like overclocking then you should get a 9800x3d
>>109262468Local AI bros will slurp it up and you'll have to pay $1800 for oneBetter to just get a 5080 now and enjoy 90% of the performance for over 6 months before the 5080S hits the market and becomes out of stock instantly
>>109262466my board goes through tons of codes too and unless it gets stuck it's nothing to worry about. I'd look up the code for memory training to prevent potential confusion
>>109262488Well if that's the case then that means I should be off to the races once my video card and main hard drive arrive. I guess it won't start without my keyboard plugged in.
>>109262498I'd use the time and boot into the bios with a monitor attached to the Mainboard to update it
>9800x3d so put ram on expo>games crashing>decide to try axmp>games not crashingIs DDR5 really this finicky?
>>109262581What type of ram do you have?
>>109262610Crucial 32GB(16x2). Don't really remember the timings but the extended rate is 6000.
>>109262623Is that the newer 6000cl36 stuff? I've heard it overclocks like Samsung ddr5 dies but I haven't used it myself Wouldn't be surprised if it hates overclocking or if your mobo manufacturer simply hasn't dialled in the right settings
>>109262653Maybe? I got it from one of those Microcenter bundles earlier this year. Seemed like it was originally the basic tier kind of ram.>mobo manufacturerMaybe. It's MSi.
>>109262686Do you only have expo or expo 1, 2 and whatever?
>>109262710Expo 1, 2 is an Asus thing
>>109262710>>109262746Pretty sure mine also has expo 1 and 2, since there's 2 settings with 2 setting it to 5600. Axmp also has 2 profiles.
>>109262761It might be something different on MSI you'd have to check it. On Asus expo 1 let's the motherboard handle most timings while expo 2 are the advertised one from the ram
>watching prices increase every week as I wait for a gpu deal
>>109262808I guess I'll have to look at the manual, though if axmp keeps working fine as it is I probably won't care. The performance seems about the same.
>>109262911>empty listUh...seems good? Good on your wallet at least.
>>109262911Good value pick.
Some of those new ULL kits got tested:https://wccftech.com/review/g-skill-trident-z5-neox-rgb-ddr5-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-6000-mt-s-cl36-expo-ull-memory-kit-review/https://wccftech.com/review/biwin-opal-dw100-rgb-ddr5-48-gb-2-x-24-gb-6000-mt-s-cl28-expo-ull-memory-kit-review-solid-expo-kit-but-way-overpriced-right-now/The g skill one actually has fairly good secondary and tertiary timings, though you can probably still go lower on some, but on other hand it's the samsung die, so I dunnoBut that biwin one is laughable, just look at those tRFC, tREFI, tWR, tWTRL and so onThey are so bad that this CL28 kit loses to a fucking CL36 kit in wccftech tests. I wonder if the g skill CL26 kit will get tested.
>>109262964
>>109262964Is there even a point in getting those if you already have 6000cl30 with a x3d processor?
>>109262999Probably notIf you have Hynix A die you can manually tighten the timings and get much better results than those kitsUnless the G Skill 6000CL26 kit turns out to be some ultra golden bin with really low secondary/tertiary timings, which I wouldn't count on honestly.
>>109262970are these numbers good? they look atrocious
Can a GPU undervolt randomly crash games when it seems stable at first?
>>109263031I think the Corsair dominator titanium I have are Hynix a dies but they already sit at 1.4v in expo. I never looked into manual OC
>>109263047yes, and if it crashes it means it wasn't stable after all
r8https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fQrckD
>>109263056It seemed fine, I've gamed for hours and nothing but lately the games will just want to crash at a random point. I don't know if it really helped any performance or not, was just trying to cut down on power and heat.
>>109263067Looks fine. I think the Nitro+ is using one of those 16pin cables, so make sure to use a native one and not a converter.
Is a Minisforum UM790 (with 16GB of DDR5 and a 512GB TLC SSD) worth 450 euroshekels? Anything in particular I should check when buying a used minipc?

>>109263106Nah, 1440p with DLSS quality (or even balanced) is good enough if you're a poorfag.
>>109263102I'll give it a try. Or might just go without it to make sure it's the undervolt and nothing else. Thanks.>>109263108>that's stuff is tricky, for some the UV looks stable, but that one and only that game will crash itI guess I can see that. Might tweak it or just let it run normally. Thanks.

Games industry analyst Dr. Serkan Toto says that even if 500,000 PlayStation Plus subscribers canceled their memberships to protest Sony’s decision to stop releasing physical PlayStation games, it wouldn’t be enough to make the company change its plans.Sony has around 50 million PS Plus subscribers, so losing 500,000 would be only about 1% of its subscriber base. Toto called that “just a drop in the ocean.”Extra context: Toto is affiliated with Keio University, which has worked with Sony on research and published studies on microlens technology. Some people online have claimed the university could benefit monetarily by developing the microlenses that will supplant the Austrian disc factory
>>109263317There was also a very small batch of G Skill 1.4 6000CL26 kits. Those kits very quickly get EOL and were replaced by 1.45 ones.
>>109263378I'm surprised that 1.45V seems to be considered fine now when people went nuclear about 1.4V two years ago or maybe I miss remember something and this was just one of the theories why x3d CPUs fried themselves
I don't like boosts, i don't like offsets, i don't like varying clock speeds. I set a static voltage and a static clock.
>>109263398enjoy your unnecessarily expensive power bill
>>109263401>enjoy your unnecessarily expensive power bill
>>109263406it's also inefficient because some tasks don't need all cores at max speed and with fewer cores doing work they reach higher boostsper core undervolt is unbeatable in every scenario except for a computer that only runs fully multithreaded workloads
>>109263394High vsoc is what nukes x3ds and if you have high speed ram then the fclk+vsoc on the board automatically scales and potentially blows you up.
>>109263394SoC voltage above 1.3V will likely kill your AM5 CPU, that's why you can't set it higher than that. But early UEFI just defaulted to 1.4V or more with XMP enabled so a lot of CPUs died. RAM voltage is separate and 1.45V is perfectly safe if you have enough cooling.
>>109263406It's straight up slower because now you are doing base clock 4.7ghz instead of 5.4+ghz.
>>109263398thats the shit, some time ago i tried it and the static CPU frequency really helped with latency
>>109263426You don't know what my settings are
>>109263495>>109263476Static frequency makes no sense on Ryzen because it disables c states and c states off is worse for fps than c states on in all benchmarks
>>109263516You don't know whether i have AMD or Intel
>>109263521It's even worse on Intel cstates off means higher temps and higher temps means lower clocks.
>>109263521You tell the voltage to never settle and the CPU performs worse because you have spread spectrum and all this other bios shit going on
>>109263394hynix dies can take 1.55v no problem if you have the cooling for it
>>109263523not on my computer
>>109263106I had a QHD and a FHD both plugged into my 3060ti before upgrading, it was fine
What is the option that allows you to run games om native with Nvidia cards? It seems like every game now it just offers dlss and then the options that come with it. Can you no longer just run a game natively with RTX cards? I'm on a 3090 if that matters.
>>109263612DLAA = dlss but at 100% resolutionbut if you want DLSS completely turned off, then change the anti-aliasing method to TAA
>>109260413isn't this that gay guy that used to copy Mental Outlaws videos?
>>109263612>>109263618Why would you want dlss off? A lot of PC games are not that optimized unless you're playing indie titles.
>>109263621Yes
>>109263612lol at Nvidia consumers
>>109263730that's not Nvidia exclusive. I know Nioh 3 defaults to upscaling regardless of GPU just different technology unless you turn the scaling to 100%. Shit sucks.

With the help of the government and Swaysure, Huawei could introduce its own DRAM manufacturing plant with a capacity of 140,000 wafers per monthCrucial details shared by @SemiconductorsX reveal that the Chinese government, DRAM chip maker Swaysure, and Huawei have formed a trio to set up a 12-inch memory production plant that won’t just shield them from the current supply shortage, but also provide the former Chinese giant with something to fall back on in case the Trump Administration has any funny ideas of blocking shipments from Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron.

What would be easier to sell on eBay, a 4090 with no heat sink or a 4090 with the aftermarket water block still attached?
>>109264011just sell the bare 4090. chinese 4090 48gb resellers are only interested in the gpu die and vram chips on the 4090 pcb
>>109264021It’s not a Chinese 4090 it’s a founders edition
>>109264059no i mean chinese factories would buy that up for $2.5k easy, extract the chips and reinstall it onto a rtx6000 ada replica pcb, add 12 more chips, and use an early leaked 4090 bios that addresses 48gb and resell it for $6000
>>109264093I'd buy a 4090 48gb if I were rich, it's a better card than the 5090, still has phyx support
>>109264200Those 48gb boards are really crappy so you really don't want one. Not only is it a blower cooler, there's also the bare minimum amount of power stages and it comes pakced full of explosive alpha Omega (AOZ) power stages that often blows a hole into the PCB when they short circuit (which they often do)
>>109264093Worried about selling to the Chinese I don’t want to get scammed

>>109264268secure boot or tpmdoesn't matter. good games don't have this issue.
>>109263398i would also run a static OC if i had a CPU with like 4 cores
>>109264319a 3300x would mog it
>>109264305Yes from USA, but then i have to pay the import company, then if it gets stolen or need to issue warrant it's over.
>>109263627Indie titles aren't optimized either. If some of them are easy to run that's just because they're 2D/super low poly.

Where can you get laptop ddr5 ram for not rape pricesOr is it better to get a mini pc with ram included?
>>109264595yes. too many crash vectors too. shader compilation error, memory oc error, undervolt error, basically if a single math digit is wrong somewhere the whole system stops.

>>109264609>>109264613What about just the game itself and not the whole PC? Though one of my crashes did seem to disable my main monitor besides the task bar and had to restart.
>>109264644the game will usually blame the driver or you that the gpu was removed which is is the niceway of saying "stop or the whole pc will crash"
>>109260625Rockstar always takes an extremely long time to make a proper PC version rather than a shitty port. That's all there is to it. They're still complete shit at allowing FOV adjustment so you'll inevitably still need a third party program to use first person mode at all or generally not get motion sickness, but beyond that the PC versions are quite competent.

>>109264670I don't think I've gotten this exact message, or maybe I have and forgot, but it's been from UE games and it usually says it's something to do with the GPU. Kind of a shame because the RT does look a bit nicer sometimes.

>>109264749>I mean the main temps were okay, never crossing 75C, but the hotspot nvidia doesn't think is important anymore was constantly over 100C under load and the fans were always going insane.how do you know it's at 100°C if it doesn't get reported?
>>109264760Yeah pretty sure I've been seeing that one. Guess I'll just turn off RT then. What game btw?
>>109264767when you hit the 90-100c barrier you can smell the "electronic heat". its a hard to describe smell but its so distinct that you know what it is right away.
>>109264787i read that mods can still read it so i thought you used that. my brother has a very wimpy 3060 12gb that also had a delta of like 25°C between normal temp and hot spot. i ran very loud for no reason because even under light load the hotspot would be high.

>>109264767>>109264882It's a 4000 series card so it still has the sensor. HWinfo gets it easily. It's more that NVIDIA was saying it was "unimportant" (lmao) back then and doubled down removing it from the 5000 series. Hilarious considering now that the temperatures and hot spot temps are lower, it no longer spins up the fans at full retard mode, and the fan curves are not set to ramp the fans up to max at a measly 72C.
New RDNA5 leaks and people are talking about the x90 flagship matching the 5090 for less than half the price...I want AMD to beat the 6090 and I'm willing to pay up to $3k for it. Can anybody give me hopium? Is there any reason RDNA5 will beat the 6090?

>>109265495Imagine what the RX 10900 XTX Red Devil will look like.
>>109265371Well I've tried everything else besides turning off RT so we'll see how that goes first. And looking into it confirms RT can cause crashing. Are you somehow against the idea that RT is responsible?
>>109265513Still 30% slower than the equivalent X080 card?
>>109265366>>109265340I want this without the glass. Is it atx? Atx forever desu- sff just doesn’t cut it for longevity. Pimping pcs is a hobby. Pimping cars is a lifestyle.
>>109265495I'd be willing to pay more than $3k for an AMD equal to the 6090 as latter will be easily $5 or 6k. Gaming neither needs more than 32GB VRAM nor cuda codes so no point in paying extra for nothing here.

Given a choice between a 4060 ti 16gb (1.2k aud), and a 5070 12gb (1.9k aud), which should I buy for gaming?5600gt, 2x16gb ddr4-2133, and a 1tb bx500 ssd.For context I'm looking to sidegrade to a more portable and power efficient system (currently on a 3900x and 3090). I'm worried the 4060 ti will be too weak, but a 5070's vram seems too small, there's a game I play where screenshots are rendered in a custom resolution and is dumped to vram; a 8k screenshot in a regular scene takes up 19gb of vram.
>>109265553If raytracing caused crashing it wouldn't be used. Hard bet it's something else.
>>109265340>>109265669>Cooler Master just released Atmos II VRM the new king od AIOs>Now we got cases cooling 9800X3Ds in to 28c room temps on heavy loadsCooler Masters...
>>109265685I'm sure it works fine for others, but not everyone. "Works on my machine" and all. I've used it before in other games, but these crashes started recently for these games and I turned on RT. Could be the devs didn't implement it right. And like I've said I've tried other solutions and they still happen, but I haven't turned off RT yet because I didn't think about it at first.
>>109265340>>109265669isn't this gonna bankrupt noctua?
>>109263901Yeah, so instead of an duopoly of MSI and Asus you have 50 of them all making the same stuff but different labels and branding. If you want to see how that full-China alternate timeline would look like just go on ali-express or temu. The only real positive is everything would be slightly cheaper.
>>109265340Do they sell this without the window?
>>109265748noctua still has its brand name and as long as people buy their fans for 30 bucks each they arent going anywhere.
>>109265340>>109265719Doesn't it still hit like 85C under 100% load?My 9850X3D, which runs hotter, only gets to 69C under 100% load. But I have a 240mm AIO.
>MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFiOne of you niggers told me to get this board.I did, and it turns out this board has a well known problem of the built in WiFi card just constantly shitting itself and stops working until you fully shut down your PC, unplug and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Only for it to die next time you use sleep mode.
heyyy
>>109265784thats the best b850 broyou got bad one
>>109265784I have never received proper advice from here.
>>109265784I cant remember when I used the sleep mode the last time. Shits buggy as fuck and I know at least Nvidia had once in the past year a temperature bug related to sleep that could fuck your hardware up.

>>109265809>I know at least Nvidia had once in the past year a temperature bug related to sleep that could fuck your hardware up.Wait what?
>>109265769Well yeah, the IHS on AMD's shit is awful and always the bottleneck with it.If you delid them you can get them down to like 50 under load.
>>109265719I'm excited to see how my 420mm Noctua does. I assume the Cooler Master is still better but they've been doing liquid cooling longer. The only two brands I'd trust with cooling and fans are CM and Noctua.
>>109265818Atmos II is only 240 or 360. So if i understood right it's too small for that case. But then on it was designed to be air cooled.
>>109265829>>109265818Though they say it is so big you could try fit 2x360 AIOs. Kinda crazy were here in future with double AIOs
>>109265814It was some times after the 50 release when their drivers were buggy as hell anyway. I cant remember if they pulled it. Basically if you entered sleep the sensor stopped reading the current temperature rather always showed you the last values it had before you put it to sleep. If you had a software fan curve set the fans would then run at speed based on the pre-sleep temperature. Sucks if you had something like 0 db fans set and went to sleep at <40°C. They applied a hotfix pretty fast.
>>109265829Mine's a 9950X3D2 in an Antec Flux Pro, the 420mm is designed to sit flush with the rest of the case.
>>109265818doesn't the noctua aio just use some antec pump and loop with their fans slapped on it?
>>109265863Yes. But the fans are brown and you get a neat little magnetic emblem, plus the ability to put another fan on top of the pump to keep the VRMs cool... as soon as that comes back in stock.
alright this is my potential build the only things here im actually buying are the motherboard, case, CPU cooler, and PSU i have everything else already https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LHvqdq
>>109265052It varies on the game some keep it in their game folder others keep it in your driver's shader cache folder.
I might just keep this 3070 Ti and wait for the 5080 Super or until I can afford a 5090. Gaming is my primary use case but I also wanna fuck around with local LLMs.
>>109265924is the 3070ti the fastest 8gb gpu to this day?
>>109265906cool work setup is final price $3,800?
>>109265929I doubt it but with GPU prices where they are 4080s are almost as expensive as 5080s, so I have no idea what a 3090 would cost.
>>1092659295060Ti 8GB exists, but it shouldn't.

>>109265929>>109265952Based on what I can find on prices, everything worth buying right now is roughly $1,000 to $2,000.I already spent $1,250 on a 5080 but I could cancel it and just live with the 3070 Ti until the 5080 Super comes out, or I could just buy the 5080 now. That's the decision I'm making. If I live with the 3070 Ti I do save quite a bit of money in preparation for the 5080.
