    The fluctuating core clocks is not a problem, the cpu automatically adjusts its speed to handle the task depending upon the amount of work it has to do. If you install CPU Z on your phone you will see that it does the same thing.

    Dr_Pleeper got a reaction from DocSwag in Experiences with non-techies   
    This isn't exactly on topic, but i went to an apple store and asked the guy how much a mac that could play new games would cost. He looks at me and says " ARE YOU CRAZY? BUILD YOURSELF A GAMING PC! ITS FASTER AND CHEAPER." Needless to say, i think i made a scene at how hard I was laughing.
     
    2nd one: My friend called me on skype for a computer issue, He says his graphics broke. He turns on the camera to his phone, takes out the processor from his computer and starts waving it around saying "This piece of crap broke!" BTW: He's a computer major in college
     
    3rd one: Same guys as above. "Colton, What can i do to make my dell run faster?" Me: "Well, you can buy an ssd and put a better graphics card in it." Him: "Ok bro, I gochu"
    *Goes to bestbuy to buy graphics card, sees really cool keyboard (Black widow chroma) and buys that instead* Me: "So you got the graphics?" Him: "No, i bought this really cool keyboard for $200 though!"
     
    4th one: Same guy, AGAIN.... 
     
    This is our text convo.
    Him: Colton, I have this broken USB drive and i cant get data off of it.
    Me: Didn't you just say it was broken?
    Him: Yeah.

    Well that's depend on the game, because fuck dual cards right? Screw customers who pay for something twice. But yeah. The 980 SLI will usually be better. As dual 660ti technically beat a 780 (at least on launch).

    If we are going into this realm, I have a good one. 
     
    Einstein, Newton and Pascal are playing hide-and-seek
     
    Einstein is seeking, and pascal runs and hides, but not Newton, Newton draws a square in the dirt and stands over it. 
     
    Einstein opens his eyes and says "Ha! Newton! I found you"
     
    But Newton replies "no, You found Pascal"

    Dr_Pleeper got a reaction from App4that in 980ti 63c idle?   
    I'm just quoting you to tell you that i fixed the problem. I was wondering if you are interested in what the problem was and how i fixed it. Basically there is an issue with 980ti drivers that make the card idle at a way higher temp when your monitor is running at 144hz. This is happening to a bunch of other people online, when i set my monitor to 120hz the cards temp instantly starts dropping and it idles at 37c. Apparently this driver keeps the card's core clock at 880mhz when the monitor is at 144hz it's supposed to run at 135mhz when idle.

    Dr_Pleeper reacted to Oshino Shinobu in Problems about FPS   
    It depends how its worded and intended. True, the game doesn't draw the frames itself, but it could be referring to the fact that it isn't limited to a certain frame rate like some games are. 
     
     
    It's likely we'll see some crazy high refresh rate monitors once new GPUs come out with DP1.3 and up. We're going to hit a point where increasing the refresh rate isn't worth while anymore, though. We may hit that point at 240Hz TBH.

    Dr_Pleeper reacted to Oshino Shinobu in Problems about FPS   
    Flashing an image for a short period of time isn't the same as displaying more images in a second, though. While you may not be able to perceive a single frame, having frames displayed faster could still seem smoother, due to how our eyes don't see in frames, but as a constant stream of information, taken in segments. 

    We'll have to wait and see (haha, so punny). I'd agree that 300FPS is probably too much to make any noticeable difference above something like 240Hz, but we won't really know until they become more widely available and tested.
