  1. @GDRRiley Anupdate on the workloads, the 3400G will only use AutoCAD in 2D, afaik that’s not as demanding and 3400G should run it decently (2D). What are your thoughts?
  2. Does SolidWorks and AutoCAD like Nvidia better than Radeon then? Despite Radeon crazy good OpenCL perf
  3. Then I will buy the 3400G, it is just for viewing in AutoCAD, not much more
  4. Its also a lot more expensive, but is it needed or does the 3400G meet the minimum spec? Like we are talking $149 vs $219 + $279 for the other combo
  5. Hi, I may do a PC for a client, however I am intrigued wether I need a NVidia GPU, Radeon GPU or if the iGPU on a Ryzen 5 3400G will suffice. The use case is SketchApp, basic SolidWorks and AutoCAD (2015), alongside Acrobat Pro (Adobe) and MS Office. These are the Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G APU (4C/8T 3.7GHz Base, 4.2 GHz Boost, 12nm, Zen+) Graphics: AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 12nm (11CUs, 704SPs, 1750MHz) Cooler: AMD Wraith Spire RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200 CL16 (2x8GB) Motherboard: ASRock B450M Steel Legend Storage: WD Blue 3D NAND M.2 SATA SSD (500GB) OR AddLink S70 M.2 NVMe SSD 512GB PSU: Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Semi Modular PSU Case: Cooler Master NR400 mATX Mini Tower If a dGPU is needed these are the options due to local pricing and availability (I’m not in the US rn) Nvidia: GeForce GTX 1660Ti (12nm, Turing TU116, 1536 CUDA Cores, 6GB GDDR6) AMD: Radeon RX 590 (12nm, GCN 4 Polaris, Polaris 30, 36CUs, 2304SPs, 8GB GDDR5) If a dGPU is selected CPU will be changed to a Ryzen 5 3600X (Zen2, 7nm, 6C/12T, 3.9GHz Base, 4.4 GHz Boost) due to local availability the 3600 is not an option currently. Also PSU would be upgraded to a 650W Model. So, do you think the 3400G and its Vega 11 iGPU will suffice for basic AutoCAD and SolidWorks or should I go for a dGPU, and if that’s the case, for this use case in particular, is Radeon or Nvidia recommended?
  6. 8/12C on TR3K is stupid, however, 16C would be a good entry point, for people that wont pony up for 24C+ or dont need them but do need the Memory Channels and PCIe lanes, give it a slightly higher TDP (125W) and a price of $799 and you have a good chip.
  7. Hey, and the 5500 has got 2CUs (1DCU) disabled, meaning we are getting a 5500XT at some point in the future.
  8. Hey, so, I got into Lttstore.com and looked at the awesome Constellations T Shirt design (you really outdid yourselves with that one guys) but there´s a problem... There´s no stock in any other size than Large and XL. Problem, I am a fairly small guy (1.70m) and I really wanna buy it (shit up and take my money) but the Small Size has been unavailable for more than a MONTH. Guys, do you think it will be re-stocked? For those wondering which T Shirt (This One): https://www.lttstore.com/products/constellations?variant=15986190680162 P.D.: The Hard Drive and Processor T Shirts are awesome too, LTT has really improved their merch design and quality to another level. (That Graphic Designer work is showing).
  9. No, it still has 4. Each chiplet has 8 cores, with two four core CCX´s each
  10. So, I like the engineering, mechanic and tech side of guns, even though I don´t believe the majority of the population should have them (I live in Mexico City). Anyways, I have a particular interest for .308 (7.62x51mm NATO) battle rifles. Could you help me rank a list of these rifles (which I am fond off) based on technical/mechanical data (such as action, reliability, ROF, recoil)? FN SCAR 17 (also known as SCAR-H) The OG FN FAL (modern SA-58 variant too) The also OG HK G3 Rifle (Modern variants, such as the G3A3) HK 417 modern Universal Assault Rifle (even though it is a Battle Rifle) AR-10 (The .308 AR-15, there are modern designs and receivers nowadays) M14/MK 14 EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle) (I know it is basically a magazine fed, full auto M1 Garand, and its modernization) So, which are the best? Which are the worst? Which action is the most interesting? Highest/Lowest ROF? Ease/Cost of Production? Modularity? Am I missing another notable .308 battle rifle?
  11. With the new FSD Dual Chips they are implementing I believe they will reach level 3... But for now, that is all. Even when we reach level 5 in say, 10-25 years, you should pay attention to whatever the fuck you are doing, you are in the driver´s seat. And also, it is your life, take fucking care of it. (Im an EMT Trainee)
  12. Reasonable price of $750... Has an 828p IPS Screen
  13. So, Ive been into tech for almost three years now, but there´s something I still dont understand and isnt clear to me. Why do we count CPU/GPU or any kind of core the way we do?* In a quad core CPU we dont say Core1, Core2, Core3 and Core4, but rather we say Core0, Core1, Core2, Core3. Why is this?
  14. Chief, what are you doing on that hype train? Chief: Sir, finishing this fight.
  15. Last Gen (Xbox 360) they were the undisputed winners of the Console War. The 360 kicked the crap out of the PS3. I hope the next Xbox competes better with the PS5. Microsoft owned the Console 7th Generation. However, PC is still superior :).
  16. Just for fun... Most controllers and chipsets still use the 28nm planar node. I am asking if Apple´s T2 is different, since Apple likes bleeding edge stuff.
  17. I am considering to buy the 13inch if it has Dual Channel, or the 15 inch if I can get the 1080p panel replaced with a 4K Panel, if it is compatible.
  18. You are missing the G7 Plus, you should probably add it
  19. Is your Laptop the 13inch or 15inch model? I want to know if the 13inch model is operating on single or dual channel
  20. iPhone XR´s Screen is awful. It is still 1334x750, barely HD, stretched through 6 inches. It is awful, you can see the pixels even from far away.
  21. I would recommend yo to read whitepapers, they give you an idea on how things work with some technical data. In terms of AMD GPUs, read these four: 1) Polaris Architecture (GCN 4th Gen [1.3]): http://radeon.com/_downloads/polaris-whitepaper-4.8.16.pdf 2) Compute Cores: https://www.amd.com/Documents/Compute_Cores_Whitepaper.pdf 3) Vega Architecture (GCN 5th Gen [1.4]): https://radeon.com/_downloads/vega-whitepaper-11.6.17.pdf 4) GCN Architecture (Graphics Core Next): https://www.amd.com/Documents/GCN_Architecture_whitepaper.pdf Hope you like them. There are also CPU Whitepapers from Intel and AMD, and there are also GPU Whitepapers from Nvidia.
  22. The cheapest available 1440p Monitors (Cheap 1440p Round Up) (QHD, 2560x1440p). We all know the best 1080p Monitors, both high end and entry level, and we also focus a lot on 4K, but what about the middle? Where many people are willing to jump on but not spend a lot of cash, That´s where 1440p comes in, as a stepping stone and sweetspot of looks and price. It would be awesome too see what this level has to offer. They are all IPS, 60Hz with 8Bit Color, their names are: Acer G247HYU: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1YU-00GN-00005&cm_re=acer_g247hyu-_-1YU-00GN-00005-_-Product Acer G257HU: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009728&cm_re=Acer_G257hy-_-24-009-728-_-Product (24 and 25 inches respectively, I would say only one of these is needed) Lenovo L24q: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071SGQP1T/?tag=pcpapi-20 (24 Inches) The only "cheap" 1440p Monitor without IPS is tis one, and its best suited for gamers, it is 27 inches, and has a 1ms Response Time: AOC- Q2778VQE: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VERZDEG/?tag=pcpapi-20 (27 inches) If the round up is impossible to do or it´s pointless, I would say you just should evaluate and review the 24 inch G247HYU from Acer, which is the cheapest 1440p Monitor (at the time of checking). It is also a Flicker Free Monitor, has EyeCare (or something like that) and many other special things you wouldnt expect at its price. My best regards to the LTT Team. Please, dew it.
