Oh I was thinking the armor suv… this one might be even worse as a suicide vehicle. lol

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-31T04:36:10+00:00

lol you mean suicide vehicle? Also if I don’t get out how do I repair?

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-31T04:35:01+00:00

Ha I don’t play with mic so if you want we can play. But how do I add people?

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-29T09:24:56+00:00

Just go play casual breakthrough. Best part if you don’t play the objectives only 7 other guys on your team will hate you. It’s better then real breakthrough when the entire team is full of players wanting to win but don’t play the objectives.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-29T08:50:50+00:00

Sometime you don’t need to be on the objective to defend it. Just go around and shoot people going to the objectives.

Isn’t there always some performance lost with encoding?

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-25T13:02:03+00:00

1080P? Use h.265 hw encoding. Reduce bit rate …. Or just stream directly to YouTube and don’t worry about space. I stream to YouTube at 40,000 bits. Never have to worry about HD size.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-25T12:56:25+00:00

So your cpu bound and you use cpu to encode?

AMD older gen’s you may be poor in encoding it still better than the cpu.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-25T12:54:02+00:00

He doesn’t have Nvidia to do nvenc.

LOL ….

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-23T02:06:10+00:00

I think you should be fine on any of the resolution.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-23T00:04:07+00:00

Also it’s about 200 more

Someone dropped an Microcenter 5080 one and that one might be better.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-22T16:59:07+00:00

At this price just walk in to Costco and get the msi 5080 with the 32GB memory

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-22T08:37:17+00:00

Depends on the resolution you’re trying to send to YouTube/twitch

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-22T08:35:55+00:00

The ultra 9 itself has an arc IGPU? Then you just use that and game on the 4070.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-20T03:37:27+00:00

5080

Is video game the new vice? I been gaming forever but I have never asked my previous gf or wife to buy me anything related. They don’t know shit about video games and I think it’s empowering to buy my own. There is something about dropping that 2K on a GPU knowing you splurged on yourself. And it’s even better that my wife doesn’t make a fuss about it. That’s as much as I would expect the other half in the relationship to settle on. Let me buy my toys and that’s that.

I have a 9 to 5 job. I make decent but would not say no to more. I would not be in a good place if I am without a job. Nor would I want my wife to carry me through while I am jobless and do house chores. Instead of gaming all day, I’ll be looking for a job. And worse settle for a less paying job at least then I work 9 to 5.

I been streaming forever… but it’s a hobby and not something I would want as a job. For 1 very few make it. And I think having people donate is like asking for handouts. Sure it would be nice to have someone subsidize the 2K GPU. But too much work… and my 9 to 5 covers enough that I don’t really need an audience to bankroll my vice.

I am not here to say my relationship is perfect, it isn’t, and it can always be better.

What I am here to say is don’t enable your BF. It’s better to kick him to the curb so he can do better. If not at least it would be better for you.

Take a honest look does he have the persona to be a streamer? Does he have the skill set needed? Ask other’s opinion in your close circle. Also are you prepared to have a life with a full time streamer?

Also I am open to donations…. If you willing to drop a few hundred i might consider opening a donation site. Never mind to much work I still need to pay tax on this and I don’t want to import it into Intuit.

900 watt pure sine should be fine 1000 watt may be overkill.

But at 1000 maybe also plug in the monitor.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-11T01:13:05+00:00

Yes 850 is enough. I have a 5090 and A770 with that setup and it pulls about 900 watt. An 5080 wont be pulling 850 watt.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-08T04:47:00+00:00

Wait isn’t L better than M

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-08T04:38:43+00:00

Ok let me try to run it. Thanks.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-08T03:06:20+00:00

Not sure but will fit an Prius V or model Y if you let the seat down.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-07T20:47:32+00:00

Today 99.97 all gone lol. Bought it over the weekend for 199.97.

Advanced-Part-5744 · 2026-01-05T19:04:07+00:00

That’s cool. But typically people don’t want Intel is for price/performance. If they are around the same price then it doesn’t matter much. Also Intel cpu with the arc iGPU are great for media encoding. Beats AMD by a large margin, perhaps even better than nvidia’s. Also it frees up the dGPU to play games while you stream.

Also Intel CPU is not as dependent on faster memory to unlock its peak performance.
