    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.

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
