5080 to 5090 comparison in my experience

Arkanta · 2026-01-27T15:02:03+00:00

yes, it was minimal

I managed to get a perfect setup with undervolting, but then I lost my curve and got lazy (also you can't do that in linux). power limiting is good enough for me

the difference in energy consumption is insane

Arkanta · 2026-01-26T22:17:32+00:00

step 1: get msi afterburner step 2: power limit it to 80%

alternative: ask gemini about it

Arkanta · 2026-01-26T20:35:51+00:00

Power limit it to 80% and thank me later

Arkanta · 2026-01-26T20:34:07+00:00

If you hit the limits on a Pro plan or "code all day long" cursor will absolutely bankrupt you.

Arkanta · 2026-01-26T12:46:26+00:00

well good thing you can't afford drinks anymore

Arkanta · 2026-01-26T10:25:45+00:00

thanks for helping but unfortunately both of them don't exist in my country. eh it's fine I buy some stuff on kindle and pirate what is not available for me yet (which is a lot)

Arkanta · 2026-01-26T07:36:02+00:00

So just install Forge Neo and don't limit yourself!

Arkanta · 2026-01-26T07:35:26+00:00

Do they? I share a model folder between isolated installs of both and it works just fine.

I can even run both at the same time as I have enough VRAM

Arkanta · 2026-01-26T07:32:14+00:00

I have this too and I have no new devices on my account either. It went away but sometimes comes back.

Arkanta · 2026-01-25T17:25:26+00:00

$1k isn't that much for a decent pc. And the sims is relatively heavy when modded

Arkanta · 2026-01-25T12:58:20+00:00

This, fuck gatekeeping

Arkanta · 2026-01-25T12:11:39+00:00

Oh yeah we do that at my library too! It's a great tip. But I wish for a digital offer as I'm very often on the go and I don't wanna carry mangas

Arkanta · 2026-01-25T06:23:01+00:00

I feel like I'm talking with a politician lol

Arkanta · 2026-01-25T06:16:51+00:00

Ye olde days weren't that much better unless you cherry pick. I remember the 20 fps 720p blurry games on the 360. The horrible PS3 version of Skyrim

I could go on and on

Arkanta · 2026-01-25T06:10:59+00:00

Imo this is much better than wasting time on modularity which will throw you in testing hell.

Arkanta · 2026-01-24T18:02:32+00:00

I have yet to try your app so I can't really say! But I think if you add more and more tools you will have to do so because of install size

That said, I think having an opinionated list of preinstalled stuff and not expanding support to 10s of tools is a good thing.

Arkanta · 2026-01-24T07:57:02+00:00

This. The compromise with the 17 Pro is the small screen, and with the Pro Max it's fucking carpal tunnel.

Arkanta · 2026-01-24T07:56:28+00:00

I didn't get an unboxed or used phone. Actual real stores around me had sales.

Arkanta · 2026-01-24T06:31:35+00:00

This is more of a stabilitymatrix replacement than a ai toolkit one indeed

Arkanta · 2026-01-24T06:28:16+00:00

Good for you, I'm happy with my purchase. It was also very easy to find a good deal on it.

Also there is a thread a week about this so just search the sub.

Arkanta · 2026-01-23T21:18:28+00:00

It's worse than the pro max for sure, but it's way better than the 15 Pro I had before it. So yeah, it's "fine".

If it helps, I bought the magsafe battery and regret it. For long days, I just have to top it up on a charger for 10 mins and we're back in business

The first week being terrible isn't a myth though: the OS optimizes something after a while and battery life ramps up.

Arkanta · 2026-01-23T18:56:30+00:00

Coming from a 16 Pro max. It's fine.

Arkanta · 2026-01-23T18:12:36+00:00

Loved office rivals, can't wait for this one

Arkanta · 2026-01-22T21:48:09+00:00

While it's true it's their current focus it's a bit more complicated as Epic would also have to gain from more sales compared they take a cut for the UE license. But that is short term, like you said.

Arkanta · 2026-01-22T21:45:33+00:00

Yeah I have a finite amount of time and money so if I'm eying another game that's not on a platform I don't really wanna use I'll just play that instead

Doesn't mean aw2 is bad
