    WereCat reacted to DutchTexan in Time to replace my 1080 TI?   
    Really happy with the 7800x3d. I’ve decided to return the 16GB 4070 ti and for another $100 ($900 total) I ordered a 24GB XFX merc310 RX 7900 XTX. I think that’s a better value and a much better pairing with the CPU. 
     
    Ultra max settings 1440p gaming just one step away!

    Jerry rigged the system so he can actually do a tax write off on this. It's an exception in his case. He probably also colludes with Linus and destroys these devices in his pool.

    Comments On a TikTok vid of a jerryrigeverything steam deck durability test.
    Theyre all replying to someone asking how he can afford those items to break, of course #1 answer: tax write off.
    TikTok’s been rotting my brain so much more than usual
    lately, but seeing people just yap about something they have no idea just ruins my day. So before yall say it, idc if you don’t use TikTok, never will touch it, never understood it, etc. 
    I think Linus should keep being salty and telling about how this isn’t how it work. hell make a whole team in LTT to combat this stupidity /s

    no problem. It does win in some games, but so does the 5500. AM4 is more dead than lga 1700 (kind of) but they did say they're going to release EVEN MORE CPUs to the am4 socket in the future AMD preparing Ryzen 5000XT series, yet another update for AM4 socket - VideoCardz.com
    I would say go intel if a 12400f was there, but not a 12100f, it doesn't keep up nowadays

    look at the psu in the i3 build, not great when an apevia is only $6 more
    and the ssd 
    they trade blows

    WereCat got a reaction from Dedayog in 500 dollar gaming pc   
    I'd argue that the i3 12100f is quite a bit better gaming CPU than Ryzen 5 5500 (which due to the lack of cache is more comparable to the Ryzen 5 3600 rather than it's other Zen3 peers). So at minimum I would go for Ryzen 5 5600 if he decides to go AM4 route.
    But the i3 build is also cheaper so...

    WereCat reacted to PDifolco in GPU and CPU are not at 100% usage, yet not getting consistent framerates   
    CPU bottleneck...
    CPU aren't used at 100% in gaming when you have more than 4 cores, games can't use all threads and only run on some of them
    But then if the cores are slow (yours are by today's standards) it caps GPU  usage
    It happens even with the most powerful CPU at low res or in crappy optimized games (hello Dragon Dogma 2 😛 )

    I'm just showing an example where you basically have a "checkbox" option to provide your age and almost everybody is over 18+... so I agree with your comment 😄

    Isn't a problem with banning based on age is that now sites will need to know the ages of everyone using them. I'm going to assume a check box that says "I'm over 13" isn't going to cut it, legally speaking.

    People who make money with their machines.  People with lots of money.  Businesses that need product vs time.

    You don't need to set EDC or TDC to anything. Once your CPU reaches the PPT limit it will automatically limit the current.

    WereCat got a reaction from TatamiMatt in Dismal 1% lows   
    tRFC is extremely slow. But that does not matter as much if your tREFI is high enough. What is your tREFI right now? The 2T command rate is not really that big of a deal.
     
    That said, you could probably claw back like 5% to 10% perf from memory tuning but if your 1% lows are in single digits it will not make that big of a difference.
     
    Don't disable mitigations if you use this PC for anything other than gaming... Yes, they do have a performance hit on your system but they are negating a huge security flaw in Intel CPUs.

    That is a complete BS and these websites are a joke. Just ignore it...
     
    1.) There is no way to calculate a bottleneck for general use
    2.) There will always be a bottleneck somewhere in the system no matter how much money you'll spend

    WereCat reacted to Apple.fanboy in Please leave my walled garden alone   
    Hello Mr.Techtips and friends. I am here today to make an appeal. I know exactly how this post is going to be treated by people here but I want to say it anyways. Please stop advocating for Apple to make their accessories compatible with any hardware. Also please stop advocating for 3rd party app stores on iOS. I spent the first 31 years of my life using windows and android and hating on apple. I finally decided to learn why apple does what they do. Their philosophy and approach to user experience intrigued me. I bought an iphone, it was a great experience compared to my S20 Ultra. I bought an apple watch, also a great experience compared to my galaxy watch. I bought a m1 macbook, after learning how to navigate the os, it too was a great experience compared to windows. Homepods, home kit devices, apple tv. The way that all this stuff works together and creates a user experience where the hardware gets out of your way as much as possible is quite enjoyable. Apple’s dedication to user data privacy and security is another reason why I appreciate their philosophy. Nothing is un-hackable, but Apple does a much better job of protecting their customers than windows or android ever has. You think by advocating for cross platform compatibility of accessories you’re freeing people from being locked into Apple’s eco system, you’re not. You’re just ripping down the gate on our garden. We aren’t trapped in the garden we chose it, it’s really nice here. If people want to leave and go to android or windows they are free to do so. The only way that we are trapped is that there is not a better experience than apple. By advocating that Apple change their approach to accessories and 3rd party app stores you are asking them to compromise the security and experience their customers expect from apple. That could potentially lead to a loss in brand trust which is a big part of what makes apple, apple, customer trust. I’ll beat you to the punch and call myself a boot licker, apple fanboy, shill, tech illiterate, etc. If you aren’t a user of apple devices you have no say in how the company should operate. 🫡✌️

    WereCat got a reaction from scruffballz_86 in Are power supply calculators any good   
    I mean a quality 500W unit will be sufficient for this and in theory a quality 400W would be as well but good luck finding a quality 400W for a reasonable price.
    Generally it's best to get something like quality 750W for future upgrades. Yes, it costs more but it does not cost twice as much as a quality 500W so unless you're on a very tight budget I would recommend going with more.
