steelo got a reaction from Alecks3000 in why does 86x exist if 32x is the same?
My high school graduation gift was a tiger direct pc with an amd k6 2. It was state of the art back in 1998...LOL

Weren't the Pentium (1) known as a 80586?

A 5600G is gonna give same performance of 1030 or better, depending on optimizations and about 3x of 730. And driver support is fantastic for Ryzen APUs, and you would even reduce power consumption
10100f ~ 65W
1030 ~ 30w,
95W total
Or
5600G ~65W
Money is also saved on Mobo and DDR4. And it plays well with NVMe drives, and you can use stock cooler which is perfectly fine for stock/mild OC operation. I have a 2600X with stock cooler in an airflow restricted case and the stock cooler is just able to keep it under throttling at 113W

Would you consider a ryzen 5 5600g?
I believe this apu is a bit more powerful than a dedicated gt 1030 gpu and would provide for a more compact build.

steelo got a reaction from Deadpool2onBlu-Ray in pls help... I Wanted To Know The Best Gpu (under 1000$) i could get for mining (500w PSU)
I wouldn't expect to earn much with a single GPU...GPU mining is kind of in its dying phase. I dabbled in mining ethereum with a RX 5700 and earned about $10 a week after factoring in electricity costs. I knew going in that this wasn't going to pull much income, but it was mainly for science =)

It's great to know they can come to an agreement to screw us all over while they vote to give themselves raises.

'Free' money everybody!
What could possibly go wrong?

A 3500x will be a huge upgrade over your 2200g and should pair nicely with a mid grade gpu in the future.

For just gaming, the 5600X will be about 15% faster. For a 1060 3GB, it won't really matter (maybe in City Skylines a bit). Both of them will be a large improvement over the 2200G, and personally I wouldn't spend the extra $200 for the 5600X.

steelo reacted to DaYn95 in Laptop Upgrade i3 to i7
I'm not expecting night and day. But the i7 will run (boosted) @1.5x the clockspeed of the i3 (with twice the cores and threads). Whenever I'm doing small tasks the i3 is working at 100% of its capacity. I'm just hoping the machine will run a little bit faster and smoother.

steelo reacted to Avocado Diaboli in Cost of living as inflation continue
It's always amusing to see people from low-income countries chime in and claim that this is a "first-world problem". It isn't. If your cost of living were to rise quicker than your salary keeps up, it doesn't matter if you make $5/h or $50/h, the relative difference is meaningless. What matters is the purchasing power, meaning the real value you can buy with your local currency. If a kg of bread suddenly costs twice as much everywhere, it doesn't matter if it costs $0.50 instead of $0.25 in your place if in a much richer country it now costs $5 instead of $2.50. What matters is that prices have risen quicker than wages.

Laptops of this generation have a nasty habit of not booting if the TDP is too high. I highly recommend finding a 37 W chip.

Now is a pretty bad time to buy unfortunately. If you're able, I'd wait until prices drop...I'm already seeing some pretty good deals on AMD CPU's. Maybe buy compatible parts as you see sales pop up?
-
steelo reacted to Skiiwee29 in Gaming Rig Help
Would recommend asking closer to your buy date as computer part prices are highly volatile and change daily and new technologies will be out by then compared to now.

steelo got a reaction from rikitikitavi in [NSFW] Can anybody explain WTF this was all about?
Notice how Will found the joke to be funny until Jada rolled her eyes and appeared to whisper something at him. Next thing you know, he's storming up on stage to commit assault. I will also mention that it is public knowledge that his wife...let's just say, she sees their marriage as an 'open relationship'
Skit or not, it was tasteless and shameful. I get defending your wife, but this was a (rather weak) GI Jane joke that wasn't worth assulting another man over. I will say, Chris Rock kept his composure pretty well. He was the bigger man.
And these are the people we should look up to?
How far we have fallen.

And Whoopi Goldberg is applauding the Film Association for not kicking Will out for literally assaulting another person. I honestly felt bad for Chris Rock...God, that stupid laugh afterwards but what else could he do...
We are living in clown world.
