I doubt it. But that depends on your workload, of course. You'd probably have more performance uplift by upgrading your CPU than your GPU as the RX 570 is still a pretty good card, compared to an APU. That being said, it's my perception that APUs are slower and less performant than a full fledge CPU, but don't let that stop you from wanting to buy a piece of silicon paper. As I said above, it depends on your workload.

This is the kind of video that 5 years ago me would have appreciated a lot more when looking at build guydes, or CPU reviews than I do today. It's a good subject matter that is worth talking about every few years I think.

A game like CS:GO plays better the higher the framerate, in comparison to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 40 fps average is quite enjoyable. Is that what you're saying?

I agree that 60 fps makes for a better gaming experience than 30 fps, but that doesn't mean having 30fps on average is unplayable either, you know? An average of 10fps, on the other hand, is absolutely unplayable by anyone's standard.

Eh, don't worry about it. Had to get it out of my system. I'm well aware of the chip shortage. And I'm saying that nvidia has been planning this CMP product announcement from the very start, with the intent of being EoL on launch, not that it'll make much of a difference in overall stock availability or anything though. I mean, even car manufacturers are affected by the chip shortage. If nvidia was seriously trying to have gaming cards go to gamers instead of miners, the CMP series would be all about cryptomining, not have driver limitation on ETH for gaming GPUs instead. AMD saw an opportunity for profit and took it. Consequences be damned! Me too, but not just to remove the ETH hashrate artificial limitation. What nvidia is doing is aggravating the problem of e-waste instead of having a responsible stance instead of being greedy. Not a scalper, a cryptominer that was getting lowballed offers left and right, there's a difference. I just swallowed that pill and went with his asking price, which he said was the same as the rest of the market... soooo­, go me? I don't care either way. Like GN Steve has said many times already; high framerate is good, but high frametime is best. I'm probably misquoting the phrase but you get what I mean.

The more I read, the more I see the vocal minority's outrage stemming from the whole PCMR idiosynchricy, always looking for something to hate other than the elitist PC culture they nurture and cherish. At first, it was directed at consoles for being considerably less powerful and more expensive than a budget/mid-range gaming pc... now, since consoles are essentially static PCs in a box, it's the turn of cryptominers to suffer that ball of stupidity. I personally blame nvidia for this shortage, what with the 20xx SUPER refresh, jacking up the prices of 10xx and 20xx series across the board, every price bracket getting a (more expensive) Ti variant for negligeable performance bumps, GeForce experience, using a countdown timer for exactly when RTX 3000 cards are to get launched, etc. AMD has its own share of BS, yes; but nvidia is more blatant. That last one gave miners and scalpers plenty of time to prepare bot nets to get cards before self-entitled gamers anyone else can and strain supply chains in ways they've never been before then. The CMP cards already have a precedence, as indicated in the video, the driver will get reverse engineered in order to restore full ETH mining efficacy on the 3060, just a matter of time. I'm gonna go on record and say it'll happen sooner rather than later. Scalpers are part of the problem, and so are miners to some extent. I personally see them as consequential, not causation. It's not because there's currently a mining craze/boom for ETH that the covid pandemic, along with everything that trickled down from it, simply disappears over night. The cause of this shortage is nvidia itself, and no one else. Team green knew very well what the outcome of the RTX 3000 launch was going to be like, the fallacy that is this CMP announcement a few meager months after the first batch of GPUs got released proves that... or is at least indicative of such a launch prediction. Had it been over six months down the road or in the summer, it wouldn't have this air of puppetteering consumers into blindly trust every word uttered. If you weren't happy with your purchase near instantly, then why have you kept using it for what I assume is a reasonably long period of time? Are you not aware of return policies on recent purchases?(legit asking) Also, the performance of a GPU is not subjective, it is objective. The opinion of those that purchase said GPU and the level of satisfaction, however, is indeed subjective, which is not a direct corolation of performance. I've been gaming on GTX 960 2gig for five years, and while I've had good times with the performance I paid for, I've come to a point where I want to upgrade my GPU. But this kind of thing from nvidia is what has pushed me to go with team red this time instead. The performance may not be the same or comparable with a 5500 XT, but the reality of my situation is that I've grown discontent of the level of performance in the games I want to play. That is my justification for upgrading. I'm totally fine with budget cards and medium graphic settings in games, so long as the performance I experience is similar from one title to the next... on Linux, at that! If you expect to get a 30xx card at MSRP that isn't second hand, you're going to spend a lot of time waiting on that delusional hill of hope you've stranded yourself on to come to fruition. Nvidia doesn't care whether or not you pay MSRP for a 3060, which, based on your experience with a 1060, you're likely going to also be unhappy with it just as quickly. On the other hand, you straight up say you'd like to game on a card that isn't budget tier, then your outrage about miners is somewhat justifiable. But you haven't done that in any of your posts, you've only been shitposting on those who buy more than 1 GPU to mine with, straight from store shelves at that.

It worked! I'm writing this from my nvme installed Linux, and want to say thanks a lot to @William Briot for walking me through my dumb mistake and get me running again effortlessly. Now, to redo the automounting of my drives, while being careful of what I'm doing if I poke at fstab again.

It's rather late for me as well, so I'll commit to this tomorrow and let you know over discord what happens in real time. Sleep well.

So I can just copy/paste line 13 and 14 no problem then? Or best that I just type it out manually to avoid making my problem worse than it already is? Sorry for all the questions, I want to make sure I don't do something that'll break more things than it fixes them. ^^;

That's the UUID for the EFI partition of my nvme drive. Could I just copy the same line from my current Linux over to my broken fstab to fix the problem? Or is that something I don't want to do because it'll screw things up even further and I should just explicitly tell my system where to look for / instead?

I legit don't know how the mount priority order got changed like that, I only added the two UUIDs at the bottom and nothing else... at least, I think that's all I did. The top one is how my fstab is supposed to be like? I'm rather clueless if this change is going to fix my problem, mainly because when I looking at my SSD Linux install for comparison, there's basically no difference between the two that I can see. I'm gonna commit the change from the recovery root command line and reboot to see what the result is.

The first fstab is the one I edited out the changes I made in "f stab" to add the UUIDs for the two NTFS drives where my steam library is carried over from windows 10 after migration. fstab f stab

This is the error in question that I get on boot up, after GRUB.

I think I did everything that this thing has told me to do, to the best of my linux noobness, and when I did "sudo reboot" to apply the changes, that's when the swapfile error began. Fortunately for me, I have a live CD and managed to save a copy of "fstab" after editing it, so I have a "clean" version of it for the UUIDs of my NTFS drives... that I think I forgot to have mount as "ntfs-3g" volumes.(and have not tried the troubleshoot fix as I no longer use a windows 10 install) I've been poking in fstab repeatedly since, changing entries in hopes to fix the swapfile not loading error... to no success. So I started searching for a different way to fix this error, going so far as to recreate the swapfile in the recovery root command line... still no success. I resigned myself to make a new linux boot on my new SSD with the intent of transfering whatever I can salvage if it's impossible to fix my issue... even though I'd prefer to continue using my currently borked linux install rather than starting all over.(that said, if there's a way for me to transfer snaps from one linux install to another for the same distro, that'd be an acceptable middle ground/compromise to have)

To boil it down to understandable terms, it's basically to be able to gloat about owning something that not everyone is able to afford it. I would think it is fairly obvious to see and understand.
