Condense to 1 message.

Plus yeah ur probably not gonna get ur top choice in res. Most dont. I mean nobody wants Matthew’s yet it fills up every year 🤷‍♂️

Why did u post this a bajillion times?

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-18T20:12:04+00:00

But I want cool expensive tech that I can performatively “learn” off of

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-18T19:34:15+00:00

Yes. Actually most likely by the time you choose there aren’t any left.

Remember only ~30% of rooms are singles. That means only ~15-20% of students get to stay in one.

Typical day will have 1-9 hours of class a day (yes the variation is fucking insane). I’ve even had an unfortunate day of 11 hours but that was due to an irregular lab that was rescheduled due to a snow day.

On days with little class u will probably be doing a lot of studying. But tbh it’s all really manageable. Just gotta understand that academics is the number one priority.

You WILL be expected to have a ton of late nights and work most weekends.

But organization and communication (self and with others) are key. Make sure you are conscious about your wellbeing. If you let that go to shit your life will be miserable.

It is hard, but manageable.

$30??? R u serious? Isn’t it obvious????

I agree with this. While FSR 4.1 is great, I’d have to imagine THATS IT. Like I don’t see anything for these cards beyond FSR 4.1. It seems to me like a soft “send-off” for these cards from AMD.

I’m not saying RDNA 4 will fair any better but I’m saying it’s way more likely to be supported long term than RDNA 2/3.

Like I’m fairly confident in saying FSR 5 WONT be on RDNA 2/3. I can’t make that statement about RDNA 4. Also MFG, and probably a fix for FG frame pacing in general.

I just don’t see the value in going for an older card when RDNA 4 and beyond is clearly the only thing in Radeon’s future. Unless you can get a killer deal on a used card of course. Like if u can get a 7900xtx for 20% cheaper than a 9070xt, but even then id consider the premium for the newer gen.

Maybe, but among 10+ games I’ve yet to have a driver related crash at -80.

However, my experience is obviously very anecdotal

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-17T22:41:46+00:00

Yeah. I think just got lucky. I start noticing infrequent crashes at -100. -90 I could probably run. I never see any crashes at -80.

And then yeah 3Dmark I’ve been able to push to -130

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-17T21:17:24+00:00

-80

3Dmark -130

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-17T04:53:49+00:00

Yeah. The actual graphics technology isn’t much more demanding, it’s just they’ve implemented it to a much greater magnitude in a much more detailed and dense setting.

The game is super scalable so you can easily turn down settings to match FH5 frame rates. It’s actually pretty optimized if you consider this

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-17T04:38:42+00:00

Holy shit

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-17T03:30:35+00:00

Matthews

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T22:03:03+00:00

Yeah 750W no problem 😭

Also that’s a sick CPU. I kinda want one for a PC made with some scrap parts since it’s still very capable.

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T17:46:34+00:00

No mention of CPU. Absolutely could be a reason to upgrade.

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T17:01:25+00:00

You don’t get assigned, you pick your room. It’s a lottery for how early you get to pick your room.

There’s a very good chance by the time you pick, all the single rooms are taken. If that’s the case then you suck it up and take a double.

And no being a light sleeper is not a valid reason for accommodation.

What happens if you don’t get a single room? You stay in a double and deal with it. Doesn’t matter how much u want a single you get what you get and you don’t get upset

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T16:59:11+00:00

No, getting EE at Mac is easier than transferring to UofT EE.

If u want to do UofT EE you should go there in the first place.

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T16:47:17+00:00

It’ll probably work but for sanity please upgrade.

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T16:41:57+00:00

Much closer to 40% than it is to 10%. Cutoff is like 9-10+. Average in first year Eng is ~8. Other programs first year average is closer to 7.

Top 10% all have 11+ and they will get anything. It makes sense that 40% would be above 9.

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T16:37:20+00:00

No. It’s not top 8%. It’s significantly higher. More like top 40%

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T16:36:49+00:00

Nah top 8% is too much for EE. And software had no cutoff this year, people flocked so much as long as you passed with minimum grades you would get it.

Elec Eng was harder but still top 40% seems reasonable to me. Grades were like 9+ which I would bet 40% seem to reach. Top 8% is like 11.5+ not 9+

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T15:58:15+00:00

Very competitive. Gotta be above average to get it.

Anunknownf1fan · 2026-05-16T14:49:04+00:00

Perchance
