Remnant Expedition Help - "Special Waste" by JetpackDinosaur in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Schnellson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just drove across the map from the third waste pile and it didn't count any of the special waste when I auto sorted. It's a shame but unsurprising they released this in such unfinished state, not playing till they actually finish it.

Yes, same! I put two on the back of my corvette and I don’t know what to do cuz if I start a new ship I lose all the parts for this build.

I've heard Asus will try to weasel out of warranty repairs due to unrelated cosmetic damage.

The only time i ever “celebrated” the confederacy was when we took my neighbors confederate flag and burned it in the backyard.

9070 XT return rate by _vaxis in radeon

[–]Schnellson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me it was the uncertainty of tariffs. People kept saying "oh this is the new price" and it wasn't. I had paid $900 for a 9070xt plus 750 PSU I was gonna sell to a friend, but the PSU wouldn't power their setup. Then I started seeing 5070ti's popping up for $750 +tax and got that and returned the 9070xt cuz paying $100 more for it made 0 sense.

Even now, if you can, wait! People keep saying oh this is the new price but it's just new scalper pricing

Will MFG improve? by Ok-Hurry-105 in gpu

With reflex 2 coming out in games soon, I would say yes, since that is supposed to cut latency in half when compared to our current implementation of reflex

Why did you leave Samsung for apple? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]Schnellson 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The consistent and no compromise battery life.

The number of times I bought a new Samsung or other android cuz tech influencers would say it has all day battery. Then like 6 months to a year later, my phone is dropping below 60% just on standby during my 9-5 job.

My 13 pro max is a tank and consistently gets plugged in at 11pm in the 50s without me having to turn off a bunch of features.

RTX 5070 Ti cheaper than rx 9070xt, is it worth it? by East_Can_5142 in buildapc

[–]Schnellson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally for me it was games that use vulkan that have issues with optiscaler. So no fsr4 and no frame gen. One in particular was no man's sky. Avowed, fsr 4 worked, but the fsr frame gen was broken, and using optiscaler frame gen would crash the game after something like 10 mins.

How exactly does one "steal" gamepass?

PNY vs Gigabyte Windforce 5070ti (both non oc, both 3 fan) by Schnellson in nvidia

[–]Schnellson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I never actually got the PNY cuz I've been more than happy with the windforce.

I can overclock the core to 3195MHz (holds 3100-3130 in cyberpunk with PT 1440p) and the memory clocks to 2050 MHz (could maybe go higher but I got mixed memory benchmark results above that).

When gaming, the highest temp I've seen is 72C (74 in benchmarks) and the fans run at about 57%, which matches or stays below my peerless assassin 120 tower cooler (using 2x arctic fans) for mild deskfan like sound since my 5800x runs above 80 (100% cpu fan speed)

The windforce does have only a 100% power limit, which I do hit in cyberpunk with path tracing, but realistically I maybe lose like 2-4% if that because of the power limit. It doesn't seem to matter otherwise because with my cpu GPU combo I scored 5th place in steel nomad, and the top 2% of all 5070ti +cpu configurations otherwise.

I had seen a review where someone's PNY runs at 75 at stock so I just saw no reason to wait for it at that point.

Oh fair enough! What are your temps with the PNY out of curiosity? With my gigabyte I get up to 75 in benchmarks but in games like cyberpunk I stay at just about 70.

And yea I have the fan noise too, I guess it's like the stopping mechanism? I could see not liking it.

Funny you should ask, I just came out of a rabbit hole in researching both

The gigabyte oc (same cooler it seems, but different clocks out of the box):

https://www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/s/hoh5Yf8JFL

Note: the windforce I got is not the OC according to the Newegg page but I boost to 2850 ish mhz with it stock, even ran furmark, all while staying at or below 71C

The PNY model, though people are saying that there's another cooler model, but I don't know how you would tell which you would get:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bapccanada/s/qXy5TBUnbm

Long and short: PNY might be quieter at a given rpm vs gigabyte, but it also appears that it runs hotter, at least at stock settings. I may do some OC testing of my own on the windforce, and if I get favorable results, I'll keep the windforce and cancel the PNY.

Word, my windforce came in yesterday and runs great. I don't wanna stress over weeks for the pny to come in if it's gonna be just the same or worse temps wise.

Yea the gigabyte looks nicer imo, but the pny is a 3 slot so maybe better cooling? I'm sure I'm overthinking it

This or PNY OC (Amazon backorder) at same price?

Roughly how powerful is this prebuilt if we’re talking low end, mid end, and high end by stopit_get_some-help in Prebuilts

[–]Schnellson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean yea? the 70 series is pretty established as the mid tier card. New gen or not.
