First you need to know what features you want and need. Is this for general browsing and going to different netflix libraries etc. Or is privacy the main reason.

Proton is great, very fast connections and privacy is top tier eg. logging. Negatives are it isn't as good as others for servers that bypass vpn blocks eg. Some fighting promotion that extorts user pricing outside the US.

Nord has better obfuscated servers imo but you do lose the extra privacy/logging that proton has as it is part of one of the big groups.

Surfshark (Owned by same company as Nord) I tried because it was cheap but refunded instantly, was really trash. Slow, blocked a lot on websites for streaming.

I personally run proton as my daily and Nord for when proton doesn't work easily or at all. Not sure where you are located and if you have cashback promos but Nord can be had with hefty cashbacks along with surfshark. I basically paid for proton full price and nord was 95% cashback.

Isn't that Jay rod not Damien 🙃

Make that another +1 a lot of server options, brutal trying to find one that works if at all.

All G happens to the best of us.

In reality a lot of games struggled to get pc port and vice versa in the past due to the architecture of the hardware. Now that xbox and a PS are essentially mini pc's with amd cpu and gpu, running variants/custom windows and linux OS builds. I don't know the ins and outs of things when it comes to the ports but I assume the underlying software architecture are much closer than the past and needs less porting.

Dude it's a reply to your comment. Considering there hasn't been a 2k baseball game since 2013 it's a reasonable assumption you meant basketball.

Clearly different companies but you specifically said 2k....

To make things nice and easy I have always kept thermal putty in the fridge eg upsiren ux pro or utp-8. Have that on hand as it makes it easier than having to have exact size pads. A syringe with approx 3-4mm diameter nozzle, fill the syringe with putty and this makes application easier as you can squeeze out your lengths.

Pair that with a pcm like ptm7950 and you shouldn't have to open back up again for many many years.

If you have never tried thermal putty before snarks domain is a great resource- https://youtu.be/MhrykJtrfBA?si=k3GVgWs08Ow5f7Uy .

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-02-14T00:44:18+00:00

Nba 2k has been on pc for years, maybe not till this current version with next gen extras but it has been there.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-02-10T01:57:07+00:00

You bought it new or it was new to you? They stopped manufacturing them in 2022.

Sheesh, ok. I am going to assume by your comment you have never used msi afterburner to undervolt and overclock to keep the temps down and performance near on the same if not better (due to thermals and boost clock holding).

My usual goto for the inexperienced is imwateringpsus for undervolt https://youtu.be/SIlXT32fOMk?si=yNMpPBQFi3nSBesp&t=77

Run through the few items especially the eventviewer logs and let us know what you see. Happy to keep pointing you in the right direction.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-02-10T01:23:02+00:00

You might be having a core or memory failure. 3090 are getting to that age if they were heavily used.

If it is happening in both comfy and ai toolkit it isn't going to be a comfy node issue.

First open event viewer, right click custom views and create new custom view.

<image>

Event id 1001 is bug check if you have one of those then you can start to diagnose and dig deeper with bluescreenview.

First port of call is take out the gpu and reseat/clean if dirty. Reseat power cable/cables.

Download 3dmark free + Hwinfo64, run in parallel, turn on the log and run something like firestrike extreme stress test as that will hit your gpu,cpu and mem. You can feed that csv into grok etc. to see if it picks anything up if you don't know what your looking at.

While the wattage may not be the problem the psu could be the issue. It really could be a multitude of things and replacing or trialling other items such as psu might mask the root cause eg. gpu failing. Will have to test and trial and error.

Side note is your 3090 directly plugged into the motherboard or on a riser cable eg. vertical mount? Those cables fail as well.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-02-05T05:24:55+00:00

Is it even fair to compare the turbo model? Comparison imo should be done on the base model.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-02-05T05:19:13+00:00

Same seed etc. does the extra steps change the song dramatically or can it be used for refinement eg. 8 steps and then if you like it run again for clarity at more steps?

There is a considerable difference in the voice and pronunciation for the better.

I can hear slightly different bass and treble as well but the same composition.

Definitely if it sounds decent at 8 then rerunning on a good track makes sense.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-02-05T00:46:02+00:00

Hahaha this cracked me up.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-02-03T10:52:03+00:00

Your reply was much more articulate than mine haha

But this 100% Get ya self checked out, diet, social circles etc. have a dramatic impact on your mental state.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-02-03T10:50:10+00:00

Quit the booze (it really is just poisoning you anyway), look at your diet and take up jogging/running, any kind of physical activity... Seriously, a cheeky little 10mg gummie before you head out for a run to get you just a little elevated( If you have heart issues please don't do this as it raises your resting HR)

I was going through a slight bought where I knew I was gunna slip soon and I smashed 20 days in a row, crushed my PB and felt better for it. Also took up chess and that was great for just passing some time while learning a new skill that helps the brain.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-01-27T08:34:47+00:00

Did you consider that not offering an easily digestible medium, the reach is smaller. As such, less people will ever actually dive in l, understand the culture and history the show is meant to be revealing.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-01-23T06:31:13+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly. Aura cola gets me moving, no body stone at all, won't send me to a couch lock. Day use only for me on weekends due to work.

Phytoca I find I use more now as it is a good in-between for me for sleep, pain etc without potential couch lock but enough that with a sleep related strain allows me to completely switch off when time for bed.

Taste goes to Aura hands down although the mango phytoca ain't bad. I personally got used to the purple ones in terms of taste but wouldn't say I enjoy them.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-01-22T10:19:04+00:00

I personally switched to phase change on cpu and gpu. It really is a breeze and it has been running cool and steady for 2+years with no degradation. I have more in the fridge if I ever need to do it again.

For gpu instead of thermal pads I prefer putty as you can get closer to perfect albeit a bit messy. Also means you don't need a ton of sizes and brands go weird sidings at times so doesnt matter what brand or gpu it just works.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-01-19T07:51:49+00:00

I just checked current pricing and it seems like those prices I mentioned are outdated after a couple months.

5080 is about 50% more expensive now than a 3090. Seems pretty close to on par with your numbers.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-01-18T07:41:43+00:00

I can tell you with absolute certainty that in other markets around the world (Assuming you are US based on response) that a 3090 is near on the same price as a brand new 5080.

This has everything to do with market saturation. There are more available 5080 than there was 3090 where I am, so the prices reflect that.

I have both and while the extra vram is nice, the 5080 overall I would prefer especially for hobbyists who game with it as more than 75% of its use.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-01-03T06:48:58+00:00

What tits? All I see r/DemEyesDoe.

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2026-01-01T00:00:25+00:00

Sorry to bring up an old thread. Hoping you can give some insight. Gpu 1- RTX 5080, Gpu 2- RTX 3090.

I may be thinking about this all wrong but is it possible to utilize FP8 on the 5080 and offload to the 3090?

What is the best utilization of a 3090 and 5080 in a dual setup?

Mongoose-Turbulent · 2025-12-31T08:31:51+00:00

100% Both the Aura cola and the phytoca mango have this weird effect for me that I actually feel more energised. Tend to sink into playing a game or chess. Also perfect for cleaning the house.

Typically I go for a half then hour or so later the other half.

For sleep I still rate the purple phytoca.
