The G3258 and GTX 960 are what's in my secondary desktop.  Sorry I should've been more clear about that.

 

I'd build the computer last March and added the GPU in April so this was well before the 470 was available.

 

 

 

Does a RX 470 perform better than a GTX 960?

 

Anyway, when I do my itx build I plan to use at least an i3 or maybe i5 depending on what my budget will end up allowing.  

Yeah rx 470 generally performs better than a 960. It's not worth directly upgrading from a 960 to a 470 though. That makes sense that you're using those if you already have 'em. :) I assumed you were buying them new... I'm not sure why I did :D 

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Well they were new last spring when I bought them.  Does that count?  lol

 

At the time I was looking for a cheap CPU that could overclock in case I felt like trying to learn that but I never really bothered much with tinkering with OCing it.

 

The 960 I added because I thought it would be nice to have the option to game on it if I wanted to.

I'm going to start something.. 

Ill start posting all the stupidity from the Apple discord,, have fun..

we'll start with the shit that I remember since last month.. 

  • Dual cores are Better than quad cores
  • More cores are for show 
  • A trackpad is better than a mouse for everything. Blame 'Windows drivers'
  • Someone is going to be 'upgrading' to a Razer Blade.. Previous desktop was i7 6700k and GTX 1070.. 
  • Gaming market is 'small' and worse than Mac share. 
  • iGPU > dGPU

There's lots of more stupid shit that happens there.. Stay tuned for more stupidity.

Well tbh I kinda like OS X... It's not perfect but I think I like it more than Windows except for software support/compatibility. Unfortunately, I can't get my hackintosh sound drivers or whatever to work so that kinda sucks.

Well, precious metals are measured in Troy Ounces and Troy Pounds, but the Troy part is usually omitted and assumed.

 

That being said, a Troy pound of Gold is actually 82.29% the weight of a standard pound.

 

So technically, the pound of gold (using common assumptions) is not the same answer.

My mom is so bad at computers. She calls me one day. Says she got a message (read: popup) that said there was a problem with Microsoft. She clicked the link and went to the website that (surprise surprise) said there was a problem with her Microsoft that they could fix for a fee. She paid them with her debit card and downloaded the program. The program gave the "tech guy" control of the computer and she could see him messing around in settings as we spoke. The guy said he could fix the problem with magic software the cost $400. I told her to pull out the eithernet but it was over wifi so I told her to just unplug it. She took it to a repair shop and had to changer her debit card. The repair shop charged her like $90 to restore whatever the guy had done.

>I asked him why he needs DDR2? But i assumed for his workplace (Dunno why they'd have DDR2 though) So i'm like, i still have 4x2gb around.

>Then he answeres yeah, he has 4x2gb himself but he wants 16gig for his home PC.

>I'm like, you trolling bro?

had to convince some guy on here that his HD 530 graphics werent going to run games maxed out and be nice when streaming... he though just an I7 would be a good way to spend his cash *facepalm*

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

ok here is something that just hapned to me:

i find a listing for a Wacom Intous 2014 small for $30

i email the seller that im interested if its still not sold

25h later(not even kidding) they reply that its still up for sale and that shipping it to me will be about $7

i email back to them within 5mins and say thats fine

another 25 god damn hours later they get back to me again having written down there complete panic attack that the micro USB cord is gone and that "you cant buy a new one anywhere!" and some more panic ramble and that they are not sure if they want to sell it if i cant use it...

i do some googeling and find out its litteraly just a micro USB cord thats needed, like the one for your freaking android phone

i email back to them that i have plenty of those and that this is not a problem

they email back another 10h later saying that they are so relived that this wasent a problem and more panicy stuff

 

to buy this fucking tablet has now taken me over 3 freaking days over email.... WHY IS THIS PERSON SO SLOW??? WHY CANT THEY REPLY BACK LIKE A NORMAL PERSON???? also not knowing that micro USB cables are like $1 and sold everywhere is just like wow.... 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

yea

I hate people who do that. I always reply 30 mins max, unless I'm away - in which case 6h at most.

 

and ignorance is just ... ignorant.

 

You can get someone to ask you to fix their PC that has "1 million viruses" (yes I quoted that because I have heard it before) and you can tell them that you had to replace all of the stuff you didn't have to replace (when really you just fixed a minor issue) and now they have to pay you in gold.

Another one from my "special" friend ... He's somehow persuaded that his 10 years old printer died because he printed a PDF that was embedded with a virus ...

 

This is what I got after asking him a few questions, he never downloaded a PDF from a malicious place, he doesn't have a virus on his PC, but since he did print ONE PDF a while back, it has to be the PDF ... *Sigh*

 

Even if the PDF was infected, why would it only target HP printers?

His printer was old and he had problems with it before.

The PDF was a manual he had already, he downloaded and printed it a few months back.

 

I highly doubt he found an infected PDF, that only targets old printers and that is time triggered ... I stopped trying to convince him after he replied "well, you never know!!!"
