    Does this count as a self-portrait?

    [–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago

    Yes, yes it does...

    That’s a very interesting question I read while pooping.

    I love that this gpu is like 4 feet long lol

    Smallest Nvidia GPU.

    My current tower started out on Windows, and for some reason after a year or so it started crashing out randomly. Load didn’t matter, it would pass benchmark tests and then crash randomly 5mins after boot. However there was not a single useful error I could find. Installed Fedora, and looked at journalctl after a crash. Immediately I see “GPU has fallen on the bus”. Apparently it is relatively common, but I also found a thread that said it actually can be caused by loose connection. Did a complete reinstall on my GPU, haven’t had the problem again (~6mo now, had both 535 and 545 drivers). Sometimes it really might be a descriptive error message 😆

    I had a problem like this with a CPU.

    Fresh from the box OEM hardware, either Dell or HP... I forget. A laptop system.

    We couldn't get the damn thing to do windows updates, which was part of our initial prep for the system. It kept crashing, no useful info from logs.

    I booted off of an Ubuntu live image I had on a USB. Turns out, one of the CPU cores on die was faulty. If I reduced the CPU cores visible to the system to one, it worked fine. All enabled? Crash.

    A call to support and a quick service visit sorted out the system, but Microsoft's error reporting was useless at diagnosing the issue.

    Whoever wrote that error message doesn't know how to spell separate.

    😳 your username...

    More people ought to enable a spell checker in their code editor...

    I'm just trying to figure out why, if you'd programmed it to detect /boot wasn't mounted properly, instead of having it error out, you'd have it do the install anyway and then snarkily print "hey, jsyk, that thing I just did probably led to system corruption. Hope you're reading this log and/or feel like spending five hours debugging a nonbootable system! Have fuuuun!"

    Like why would you do that

    The dev spent 1,000,000 hours making the entire codebase their second language and knows it like the back of their hand, why can't you?

    What ever happened to the badly drawn comic memes, I liked those.

    [–] RvTV95XBeo 2 points 10 months ago

    They've been replaced by badly rendered AI memes thanks to the advanced processing power of CnIDA GPUs

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

    Classic CnIDA

    The people in the bus are the users of free software projects that depend on proprietary CUDA libraries.

    This is what happens when your card goes out on a bender.stanky GPU sag

    My card never made it on the bus 🙃

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (5 children)

    Real talk for a sec my amd radeon 5700 rx has been nothing but fucking miserable to use and Im so fucking sick of it and everyone keeps shitting on nvidia so like is there another fucking option? Cause I'm seriously never going to buy another amd card again.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

    Tbh I've never used anything other than Nvidia hardware on Linux and I've only ever had some minor annoyances over the past 10 years. Nvidia has a bad rep in this community because of the closed source drivers, not so much because of stability or compatibility.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    What's wrong with your 5700? My 5700 xt has had 0 issues since I got it in 2019.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Apparently the 5700 xt specifically has terrible driver issues. DDU'ing and installing fresh has helped, but hasn't resolved issues completely. I'll get driver crashes very often in some games that should have no problems, I'll get incredibly low fps in others. Not exaggerating, in remnant 2 I got 4 fps, I could count the fps manually. Hunt showdown has similarly terrible performance and will crash my computer within 10 minutes. Helldivers 2 had similar issues, that got way better after DDUing but are now back. I'm sick of it

    [–] aBundleOfFerrets 8 points 10 months ago

    Well an important thing to note is that DDU is a windows tool so I will assume you are on windows, and that this is a linux community. It is often that the driver situation on windows is the inverse of the one on linux.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    I feel ya. That garbage, which I also have, crashed on heavy games. Corectrl was the only easy way I found to reduce its clock speed so it wouldn't crash often. I hope I just got defective hardware instead of realizing that Radeon is garbage on windows and Linux. Here's hoping my next amd GPU works properly.
