What were you given?  Sorry.  I'm confused...

 

 

More so since your profile says you have a 970.  >_> 

A GTX 750 Ti. It's in my second PC right now, which I'm typing this on. That 970 was the first GPU I bought with my own money (Used from a friend).

Ah.  That makes more sense than. ?

 

What do you use your second computer for if you don't mind my asking?

Just curious I promise.

My main PC is normally at my mum's house, and my second is at my dad's house. Both for gaming. My second PC needs a new HDD though, it's running off some old SATA 250Gb drive from 2005, and it's likely to fail at any moment.

Yikes.  A small SSD and a 1TB WD Blue HDD would refresh that thing very nicely for not too much money.

So, here's my experiences, that I can come to think of now:

 

- After I've fixed a computer for a friend or relative, they always blame me for every future problem.

- Two guys were talking in an MMORPG I used to play, and one of them said that he overclocked his hard drive and his computer is now more than twice as fast.

- Whenever I tell someone that I like computers and technology, they always assume I just post stuff on Facebook and play Farmville all day long.

- My mom freak out every time an email from someone she doesn't know, slips through the spam filter and end up in her inbox. Something worth mentioning is that she use hotmail, so she freaks out a lot.

 

Edit: fixed the formatting.

Cringing so hard right now

I have so many that I actually forgot most!!!

 

But I already started since I post the tech related one here! xD

 

The main one I keep referring to is VRAM and the fact that he thinks his brand new GT610 is as powerful as my used HD 7870 because they both have 2GB of VRAM.

 

He thinks electricity comes from the air, that basically, a generator (wind, hydro, etc..) is like (and I quote) "a black hole for electrons" sucks them up and it then pushes them down the wires ... Not making this up.

 

There was another weird thing today but I forgot...

My 610 has 1gb..

On October 13, 2016 at 8:59 PM, Bleedingyamato said:

Wouldn't that actually help though?

 

I know it wouldn't make the GPU more powerful but I mean for games that would need more VRAM than was built in then if there was a way to add more it would help by allowing a user to use higher settings than they otherwise could've.  

 

Assuming that it would work to add more VRAM through a card like that.

 

 

For example: Using my old GTX 970 that had 4GB of VRAM I'm pretty sure I wasn't able to max out a few settings on the new Doom game because it locked them out due to detecting that I didn't have enough VRAM.  (This might've happened with Rise of the Tomb Raider but I don't remember for sure.)

 

So having a little more VRAM would've helped.  It wasn't that my 970 wasn't powerful enough but rather that it lacked enough VRAM.  

3.5gb

Is that really an issue though?  I mean I've played console games on a TV for years even well before hdtvs were a thing and I don't think it's ever seemed laggy to me.

 

Lag aside my LG TV has MUCH better color accuracy than my ASUS VG248QE...

(Love everything about my VG248QE EXCEPT the colors.)

Before consoles were 60fps (nes, SNES, Genesis, n64) iirc 

then they changed to 30.. 

Either that or my emulators run at 60fps because they can. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

138 is a good number.

Apparently an FX 4300 and Radeon 7850 1gb can run all games at max settings. The description is really sad.       

i was scamed about that bad with my first real "gameing PC". i got an FX 6300, a 750TI a 60GB SSD and a 1TB HDD in a Zalman GT1000. the most hilarus part is that i had to pay fucking extra for them not having the case they said they had so i got a WORSE case and paid like $20 more for it -_- they claimed it would play BF3 maxed out 120fps... looking back i just want to slap myself over the face with a frying pan for beeing such a retart... i paied $820 for that PC and the SSD died this year(after 2 years) so what i got out of those $800 was a 1TB HDD and a lesson to NEVER BUY ANYTHING BEFORE YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS AND IF YOU CAN GET MORE VALUE SPENDING YOUR CASH ON OTHER STUFF.... my laptop at the time outpreformed that PC and it just had some pretty shitty AMD APU from 2013 in it... :/ 

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...

My understanding of relative GPU performance is minimal but I know a 750 ti isn't very powerful anymore.  

 

It makes no sense why Apple would charge so much for a laptop with such a weak GPU.  I know laptop cards aren't going to as good as desktop ones but still, for that high a price it should have a much better GPU in it.

 

 

Edit: I assume a 750 ti is weaker than even a 4GB GTX 960 right?

 

 

 

Yeah 750 ti is weaker than a 960 by quite a bit. 1024 CUDA Cores vs 640 makes quite a difference.

 

Honestly Apple is in some ways entitled to the price. They have a great display that is pretty high res and is quite accurate. They're using quad core i7s that usually have iris pro graphics too. And they have pcie nvme ssds in there too. But the GPU is kinda cheaped out on (my guess is most likely it's because they can't fit a much higher tdp GPU in such a thin laptop. A more powerful GPU would require a thicker chassis whic Apple most definitely doesn't want. Their choice to go AMD this gen puzzles me though considering how much better for mobile Maxwell was. Perhaps they have some sort of agreement with AMD?). And the price is still too high, considering you can gt something like an xps 15 with equivalent specs for at least a few hundred dollars less. Apple always charges more for their products purely because they can, since there are some extra features they have you can't get elsewhere (integration with iPhones and the Apple Watch, Mac OS, as some people prefer it, a build quality some people prefer, pretty decent customer support, and... Having an Apple logo on the back of your computer). IMO most Apple products, especially their desktop computers, are overpriced and not worth the money, so a lot of the sales are from people that "have always gone with Apple" or people that prefer the simpler OS and that don't want to research all the different pcs out there.

a 750TI with power problems, it locked itself at 412MHz and would not move most of the time, im surprised that the motherboard also didnt blow up seeing as i overclocked the FX 6300 a little bit on a motherboard that was increadably bad quality with the equivelent of the Intel stock cooler straped on it

Oh. Interesting. My card also used to do that, where it'd get locked at idle clocks but a restart always fixed it. It doesn't happen anymore so I'm guessing driver updates fixed it.

I'm planning to do a build a mini-itx build because I think it would be fun to do so I might either give or hopefully sell my secondary desktop to my brother if he'd want it.

 

It's got a Pentium G3258 that assuming I did it right should be running at 4GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM, and a 4GB GTX 960.  I know the G3258 isn't great for gaming but I think this setup would outperform his MacBook Pro right?

 

 

Part of the problem with Apple is that even with using at least some decent parts they still overcharge by hundreds if not thousands of dollars for what's in their computers.

Why a 960? I'm not too certain on your choice there since an rx 470 would do better.

 

A g3258 is a decent choice but some games refuse to launch on a dual core so... yeah. You might want to consider going for an i3 or something instead.

Why a 960? I'm not too certain on your choice there since an rx 470 would do better.

 

A g3258 is a decent choice but some games refuse to launch on a dual core so... yeah. You might want to consider going for an i3 or something instead.

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

 

I'd built 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.

aka, it's overwriting reserved stuff that is normally automatically executed and literally putting some values into a rollercoaster of values, when i instructed it to write 2 pixels on the screen. Yep, that's what happens.

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

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

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.
