    jefire411 got a reaction from amdorintel in LTT: Intel and MAINGEAR made a laptop!?? - MAINGEAR Element Laptop Showcase (2019)   
    I would love a more in depth review of this laptop. This or the mag-15?
     
    edit: nvm, it's identical to the mag-15, with minor differences

    OK I did that and it booted normally. After installing the 580 inside again, it also booted normally  o_o
    I'll see tomorrow if I get the same problem...

    If gaming and listening to music is all the multi task you'll do you can live even with "just" 16gb.

    Welcome to the land of CPU bottlenecking.
     
    Seriously, the 2200G is a little weak for a 2070. If he was playing 4k, I could maybe see it; since you are more GPU bound at higher resolutions. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a sizable performance bump if he put a 2400G or 2600 in there instead.
     
    Not saying its bad, just that this pairing is wonky.

    You could become a sailer and see the seven seas. The last time I've seen someone mention that, it was still illegal. But still, depends on your morality.

    jefire411 reacted to Daharen in 9900k at 5.0 Ghz vs. 8700k at 5.3 Ghz   
    Answered my own question with a bit more searching (I did look before I posted, just looked for the wrong thing):
     

    If you won the silicon lottery on the 8700k (Or 8086k), and you cant find a 9900k that's pulling AT LEAST 5.4 Ghz under 1.35 v, then the 8700k is still a better gaming CPU.

    I will add the caveat, that it 'appears' the 9900k in this example is thermal throtteling, but it's using a 360mm AIO water cooler, so that's pretty bad. It is a known fact that 9900k's run very hot, so this is not surprising, and what leads me to be skeptical of the claim that they just got 'a bad chip'. Still they could have just gotten a bad chip.

    (Post-Edit)

    Another possibility is that they are running both cards on a Z370 Motherboard when a Z390 Motherboard would provide both cards with more headroom. The thing is this implies that 'voltage' is the issue, and I find that hard to believe given the difference in thermals, with the 8700k running so much cooler vs the 9900k running so much more hot. That said, I'm not a computer hardware engineer, so if there are any that can explain why lower power delivery might result in the 9900k not only having lowered performance, but ALSO running much more hot, I would be welcome to hearing it. Until then this seems to demonstrate that at identical clock-rates the refresh actually produces inferior not superior results.

    There is no such thing as a good antivirus for the phone, you have security patches from the OEM/google and common sense while browsing. 
    I am with Nokia 7 plus (I don't have Facebook, only messenger app installed) Facebook app do slowdown the phone too, antivirus or any other "cleaner" do slowdown the device, there is no real benefit from them.

    Except the Kindle has a tiny mobile chip with a completely different architecture from the Xbox. The Xbox has WAY more power than that thing.

    jefire411 reacted to vanished in Do not buy the iPhone XR..if you are coming from a phone with a higher res screen   
    So long as they don't bother to fix this, it makes no difference, but I will say something just in case it's not obvious.  That is entirely a software problem.  Your screen resolution should not dictate in any way what qualities you can pick on Youtube - that comes down only to the internet speed and processing power you have available, and even then, you should be able to pick anything you want... some just won't work.

    So what, the 750ti cost much less (because it's used), is slightly faster, and supports Geforce Experience features like Shadowplay

    jefire411 reacted to captain_to_fire in The Pixel 3 is now official and yes, it's exactly as the leaks suggest   
    Someone's about to call me a shill but there's no way it's the actual photo from an iPhone Xs that wasn't tweaked. It looks like Google faked it and dragged the exposure all the way down by using the AE/AF Lock feature. If the photo was from an iPhone 3GS, I would've believe it but there's no way that Google didn't rigged their comparison.

    Honestly I prefer a 1080p screen over 1440p. Their is NO NEED for higher then 1080p on a phone.
     
    I think the Pixel 3 is perfect, not a fan of the XL.
