AI code is verbose (to an extreme, sometimes with weird loops requiring pages of code when 4 lines could do the same thing). Human code is optimized. I'm surprised it's only 3x. And it's weird counting success by amount of lines in code. I'd count success with fewer lines of code with the...

Has anyone bought or used the Aoostar WTR Max 6+5 Bay NAS? https://aoostar.com/products/aoostar-wtr-max-amd-r7-pro-8845hs-11-bays-mini-pc How is it? Is it as good as it seems and reviewers say (ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnpCWHRiMqQ) I'm going to get rid of the very, very, old Dlink...

I don't want to break up the text into snippets. I'll address it as a whole. Feel free to break it up if you reply. Cost isn't an issue. Cost is negligible vs if we don't go that route. It's actually not complicated. It's only complicated if you don't want to do it. If you calculate that...

Alright, lets go past my idealistic summary with real world examples! But I want to address the "selling it at a loss" statement first. Yes, produce it at a immediate monetary negative income (recover later). Electricity should also be free for the most part for at least residential use up to a...

There is plenty of raw materials, including copper to build interconnected grids. It's not a new grid you build, but expand and refine the current one. The challenge is technical (and political), not raw material shortages. If every house and commercial building was required to install solar...

No need to store it. Just generate all the power you can, send it to grid. Interconnect the grid across networks, states, and countries, west to east and east to west. Permanent power. No storage solution needed for immediate use. Classic, polluting power should be shut down and solar panels...

You have a sweet system, and its hilarious (to me anyway) that Sound Blaster comes back and screws up systems still and again. Not easy to toss expensive stuff, but I would toss the soundblaster. It sounds (kek) like a ram/timing issue.

And the 5080 sold out... at US$ 1600.

MSRP? The biggest retailer listed a 5090 here for over US$ 4400 today and it was gone in 2 hours. In a country where the average income is US$ 560 a month... Now they list a 5080 for US$ 1600. 5070Ti was US$ 1060. Cheapest 9070xt was US$ 785, and haven't been in stock since hour 1.

When I can get a 9900x3d at non-salted prices it looks like a decent step up from a 3900x, although the 3900x still works a treat. I did price out a comparable system with 64 GB DDR5 and inflation has hit pretty big, eh.

I'll echo this here too: Imagine Apple launching the next iPhone at MSRP of $599, but the price in store goes up by the hour until it settles on the actual price of $999. Both nVidia and AMD can fork right out of here with their lying and deceiving.

What a ripoff these companies are. Imagine Apple launching the next iPhone at MSRP of $599, but the price in store goes up by the hour until it settles on the actual price of $999. Both nVidia and AMD can fork right out of here with their lying and deceiving. I guess AMD's businessmodel is...

I want it, but not for 2x to 3x the price of other new releases. Normally steam charges me 20-30 dollars for AAA games, but for some reason Doom Eternal is listed at 60. Too bad there is no official shareware.

This is why I still use physical stores for certain purchases. They value me as customer and fight for each RMA I need. To which extent they fight I don't even know, I just drop the card off and they call me a bit later with a fix or replacement. I say this from an all MSI system... Knock on wood

5700XT here. I play few games. Mostly SIM racing games. Some Path of Exile. A little bit of Rebel Inc. now too. PoE had a bug in January where game would crash on specific events. The devs took a week to find a fix. Rebel Inc, no issues, but I only played it about 5 hours. The big one is...

I've been very happy with my Corsair MP510 series. Very quick reads & writes.

Some people want Intel for any reason. I'm not here to argue that. Those who want Intel can save a boatload of money by waiting a bit.

I've noticed the sweet spot to be about 15% lower in both clockspeed and vCore on any Ryzen CPU (except maybe the R5 1600AF). To me that simply means AMD has overclocked the chips out the door. Same with their GPU's, obscenely overclocked as stock. However, my workload is not folding, but more...

Thanks for the reply. Issue for me is that the Asus is 200 dollars more here for me.

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27GL850-gaming-monitor I'm eyeing this monitor, and reviews say it's great but suffers from slightly low contrast ratio. Is there a better monitor within the price of $450? 27" is my target size.

You can buy a 500 dollar gold electroplating kit and electroplate the shit out of anything. Phones, TV's, consoles, Raspberry Pi's, mice, controllers... anything. The per item cost is negligible.

With the custom 5700XT cards now appearing locally here, but with prices that matches the 2070 Supers, should I just go 2070 Super instead of the 5700XT? Or is the 5700XT still a better buy at the same price (less than 15 dollar difference)? I (will) have a 144Hz 1440p monitor for gaming and...

I may have been a little overagressive with lowering the vcore. Something decided to corrupt and kill my Bluetooth on the mainboard. No amount of trying to repair windows or drivers brought it back. Only a fresh install worked... Or it might have been the system file corruption which have been...

Crap. You're right. Its max 1.25 kWh saved per day. Not 3. Sorry, I messed up the calculation there. Dont know how I got 3kWh there... The rest is equally as valid though.

By limiting the max powerdraw by limiting max vcore (1.016v) and max speed (3Ghz). Yes, my PC is doing stuff 24/7. If it werent it would be a waste to keep it on 24.7, no? Best power saving is when you turn it off... I'm using the newest Ryzen Master 2.0.1.1233) with the "average" CPU temp...

Day to day, browsing and doing general tasks with some minor photoshopping my powerdraw, my temps, in my situation is much better. I don't need 4.25 Ghz all core boost, or 4.525 Ghz singe core boost to save me a second of render time for small tasks and I don't see the need to load the CPU with...

You still maintain a buttload of performance even with a 23% degradation in performance. It is still faster than a 3700x in multithreaded programs. I could probably clock the CPU higher and be faster, but I was shooting for the lowest possible temps while still being quicker than a 3700x. I'm...

This 3900x I have has been very good, but I live in a hot country so temps are always a little bit higher. Undervolting drops overall performance by ~23% in Cinebench R20, but very significantly reduces temperatures. I underclock the CPU to 3GHz all core, and use 1.0125 vcore (actual 1.016v)...

Honestly you are not going to see any real noticeable gains in games with either upgrade. Right now upgrading an Intel CPU is a wash for games more or less. Going from a 1080 to a 2080 is not justified because of costs. You'd be better off investing in other things, or even better, holding off.

The new beta Ryzen drivers are a bit agressive in keeping the CPU at a low state...

Thanks for the reply, but those are TN panels. Maybe good or great TN, but TN is garbage. I made a mistake of getting a "gaming" laptop with a "great TN planel" 120Hz, 99% SRGB etc etc... It sucks. Color reproduction is always off... even at a slight angle.

My new Ryzen 3900x build requires better displays. I have an old Philips 24" 234E and a new temporary LG 24" MK600. Sizewise they are a perfect fit for my limited space, and fit with about 1 inch to spare on the far left and far right. However, screen quality isn't the best. Contrast is too low...

My brand new 3900x build is amazing. It does more than I hoped it would. It equals and surpasses the TR1950x every time, and even beats the TR2950x in many loads. These many core CPU's are insanely good. Fuck Intel for gimping the desktop with 4 cores for a decade. Fuck them to hell and back for...

If you are unsure, wait for comparative reviews.

And they are listing now both the AMD Ryzen 3 3400G with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics and Wraith Spire Cooler. US$ 179 and AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics and Wraith Stealth Cooler. US$ 114 Keep in mind that the US$ 499, 3900x costs US$ 601 here. That Ryzen 3 3200G looks like a...
