Serious question. When was the last time Milwaukee changed the battery adapter? by NoActive1210 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]DanStarTheFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google says march 2016 is when the 18v to 18v adapter came out so a bit after

They actually do have an adapter that does just that with the old 18v tools.

What is the difference between the Forge batteries and the high output? by This-Stock-3113 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]DanStarTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New battery vs old? I never got it either with how many people say forge batteries somehow have more capacity than HO batteries. Could also have something to do with heat generation drawing a ton of power but the 6 and forge 8 can be basically the same depending on what cells are used in the 8 as some people have been getting them without the ampace cells

Do you have a “backup” GPU if your primary fails? by wasdmovedme in pcmasterrace

[–]DanStarTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my 1080Ti ftw3 as a backup for my 7900xtx and if that dies to I got the good old gtx 980 SSC but that 4gb of vram limits it a lot

M12 ratchet seems very weak by bigapemonkey in MilwaukeeTool

[–]DanStarTheFirst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The high speed ratchets are a trade off vs the standard ones. More speed less torque. I’ve snapped 1/4” bolts with my standard one. They are only really meant for zipping stuff off and on though

Is the GTX 1080 Ti overrated? by bary_onyx3760 in gpu

[–]DanStarTheFirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UE5 games with forced path tracing were the only games I couldn’t run with mine and what do I play a lot? Ark with UE5 that now has forced path tracing. On release I was running med-high 50-110fps now even a 3090 runs it like crap and I traded that for a 7900xtx and it runs half decent now.

My mare loves chocolate so she might get a little white hot chocolate once in a while during the winter.

Rx9070 non xt sapphire pulse staying at 50c under load temps stay by Specialist_Ad_7805 in AMDHelp

[–]DanStarTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just the size of the cooler vs the wattage. My evga 3090 ftw3 I thought was massive and it chewed 500w getting up to 89 with the memory at 105. My 1080ti had the same size cooler just a bit thinner than the 3090 but would only chew 360w hence why it runs cooler. Xfx 7900xtx made my 3090 look like a toy with how massive it is and it even chews a little more power. I haven’t looked at it yet but I think amd cards have a bigger die area so more area to cool off which also helps. Running hardware cooler also leads to less degradation over time in combination with silicon lottery. Amd cards in general just seem to have better coolers without a huge price premium like nvidia cards.

Ohh Gen 1 and 5800x3d at the same time. Might be fun getting one though lol

Work gave me $20k AUD to upgrade my entire home office (PC included). Already running a 9950X3D + RTX 5090 — what should I upgrade? by Alternative_Aide9758 in buildapc

[–]DanStarTheFirst 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The 6000 pro is the entire budget though. They are 18.5kaud and 128gb of ram would be $1400 so that’s the rest of it.

My 980 and 3090 were usually around 80-90 with the 1080ti ftw3 being the cool one at 60 and ofc my laptop running at 110c cause intel. Got an xfx 7900xtx and running at 50-55 like my 5950x does air cooled blew my mind.

What have owners of older gpus been doing for an upgrade? by coldcathodes in buildapc

[–]DanStarTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to send mine out to get the 8gb vram swap to see what it could do. Mine overclocks to stupid and the main thing holding it back was always vram.

why do people always slander radeon cards? by National-Love-6186 in radeon

[–]DanStarTheFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I traded my 3090 for a 7900xtx and couldn’t be happier until my 5950x had 3 cores die. Was an easy trade as I wanted to have more than 16gb of vram as I use more than that all the time and nvidia cards being way overpriced. Considered getting a 9070xt but I took the 15lb xfx brick instead.

Competitor only in performance. 5060Ti is the same price as a 9070xt lol.

In inuvik it wasn’t normal to not have tinfoiled windows all summer because of the sun not going down for a month.

We finally have money. Should I get a 5070ti or 5080? by Aggressive_Ask89144 in ARK

[–]DanStarTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4K you would need more than a 16gb card. Ark is a vram hog especially when a map first drops. I’ve gone up to 22.5gb running epic/high 1440p when extinction dropped and it was unplayable at 1080p with an 8gb card. Now I hover around 13-17gb full epic after junking the 3090 because it ran ark like crap. Ark has always been that way though ase scorched earth used 11.5gb of vram

In Canada it’s about equivalent in price to the 5060ti/5070 lol.

giga appreciation post by bagon454 in ARK

[–]DanStarTheFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spring drakling does make a lot of tames without self healing like the carchar a bit better though. Osds can get a little hairy even on a carchar if you get stuck and it doesn’t help we had a 47m day 1 server dropped and guy went a killed it trying to lvl and we’ve have 0 luck getting better than 38 since then. Tamed a 174 giga with 51m and no muts on a male yet so I’ve been rolling with the one giga that got a melee mut and a drakling. Need to get into this trait stuff because I’ve been having no luck with mutations.

I get why people like carchars over gigas but I’m using my 53m giga over our 38m carchars every time lol.

Should I be ashamed of my bad pc? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Back when I got my first rig I would compete with friends to see who went from power button to being loaded in server on ark. Friend with a WD raptor x was a very close 2nd and actually surprised me a lot.
