MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Video games age ratings to high.
I can understand that argument. But at age 14, even though you understand everything, your brain is still growing. So, it may effect you in ways that you won't even notice.

Doesn't mean it's right. True, but it is encouraged. Also, Very hard to not do.

There's a lot more than that. Senseless murder, rebellious actions towards those in charge, domestic violence, torture, drug use, sexual themes.. Etc, the game is pretty bad.

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Upgrading to R9 280x
Eh, it shouldn't be a huge problem. In some poorly optimized games it might be kinda bottlenecky.
Dx12 may help it though.
After you purchase your 280x, I would buy a used Zeon E3 off of Ebay, of you are comfortable with that. They offer really good Price per performance.

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Best Service Provider?
So Fios and Ting, or Fios and T-mobile?
Thanks again!

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Best Service Provider?
Sounds cool, but I need newer tech. Thanks!

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Best Service Provider?
So Fios for cable and internet? How much does google fiber cost? (I am in Philadelphian Suburbs.)
Then for mobile, what makes T-mobile so good? Wouldn't Ting save me more?
EDIT: Would bundling version wirless with cable and interwebz save me $? Or does it operate as a separate entity?

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Best Service Provider?
I an pretty fed up paying 200$ a month from comcast for Internet and cable. Also, 300$ For my family's phone and data plan from AT&T.
What would be the best thing to switch to? Straight up verizon, or maybe verizon and ting?
Thanks a ton!

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Rendering Help.
So preformance wise it doesn't change anything or? In terms of fps.
-
MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Rendering Help.
Game graphics, yes. The textures.
EDIT: For open source game devlopment. Say If I force people's gpu to render lower textures. How does that change preformance.
Sorry for not wording it correctly.
-
MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Rendering Help.
Hello, I have a quick question.
If I were to render something to make it less detailed, would that actually be lowering my preformance? Being that I am rendering extra. Or, will it just be like forcing very low textures, improving preformance?
Thanks a ton in advance.

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Replacement DvD drive for lenovo t420
I don't think I will be buying that exact one, but it did tell me what I need.

Does anyone know the model numbers for compatible dvd drives, for my lenovo t420?
Ebay listings have me confused, and google isn't helping.
Thanks!

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Laptop Drive Selection.
I wish I could go all out with a SSD. My wallet would be too upset with me though.
Thanks for the advice. Since I plan on a dyi thing for a desktop grpahics card to expresscard. I am going to be doing some heavy stuff.
Thanks for the help!

I researched the WD black2, sadly it is a tad expensive. And the hard drive it has is still 5400 rpm. And it doesn't work.
-
MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in Laptop Drive Selection.
I plan on getting a new drive for my laptop, due to the fact it doesn't have one.
I was wondering whether to get a standard 7200rpm hdd, or an SSHD.
The cool thing about sshds, are that they learn from your miat used applications and get faster when using those. But, when using a application that is new, it simply has 5400 rpm speeds. So, is it worth it?
Thanks!

Most monitors DVI is a dual link dvi.
You should be fine with standard cable.

MinotaurGrumps reacted to The Toaster in R9 280 Bottlenecking?
That's impossible to do. The only apu crossfire is Kaveri to a 240 or 250.

I'd say a tad bit in some AAA titles or games that are very cpu demanding.
You could upgrade to a fx-6300 when dx12 comes out. It is suppost to make amd less garbage.
I would recommend getting a large upgrade to an i5.
