M1 chips emulate x86 architecture based applications. If you are on windows a lot of the time and want to start using a MacBook M1, the experience with x86 apps might be a bit bad. Apps that use ARM based architecture will run phenomenally well because the M1 processor is that good
A macbook will run apps like office or whatever ya use very well
honest sparrow
what about steam games like gtfo/dbd? those are probably the only things i will be using windows for
abstract kite
I dont think you can play gtfo and dead by daylight on a mac
heck
a mac cant even run among us
you can circumvent this by installing a virtual machine on the macbook
honest sparrow
a mac cant even run among us
it can install ios apps now tho right?
honest sparrow
i saw someone was playing fortnite on like 90fps on the new m1 chip
bruh i just dont wanna take my entire pc to college

Windows apps are x86, and M1 can run them using rosetta
Technically everyone around every corner has to come to the conclusion that it's possible to run windows games on mac
But it's not optimised so the performance takes a dent

Before today, I my pc was way below min spec for running GTFO. I only had 1005mb out of the 2000mb required to run the game. I just installed some more RAM sticks, and I can see it is detected by my pc in my PC's system window. However, when I tried starting the game(GTFO), it said I still have only 1005mb out of 2000mb required memory, does anyone know what the issue is?

whats up want to do a case swap
what is something i need to make sure before i buy a case
fleet canopy
That the case will fit your GPU (GPU length for instance say the GPU is 200mm, make sure the case has a 200mm clearance for GPU), the case also fits your motherboard (Not hard to find, if your motherboard is an ATX, get an ATX case, same for all others), the rest is mostly preference ig
Also be sure that it has good cooling
lilac geyser
check case size is suitable for motherboard, cpu cooler, gpu
check motherboard front panel headers work with that case
bitter temple
- case look
- what kind of ports are available on the front pannel (or the upper one, depending on the case configuration)
- size (all your components must fit in)
- airflow but there's usually not a big difference (ofc there will be a huge difference between the best and worst case on that specific point but 90% of cases are fine)
- check if there's already one (or two or even three sometimes) fans included in the case, otherwise you'll have to buy them (means additionnal costs)
gritty timber
if the GPU is too long just bring an angle grinder to the drive bay
works wonders
but ideally you'd get one that just fits

You actually can submerge a pc in oil and run it. The oil will need to be nonconductive, and the fans will need to be removed. I think there are old YouTube videos out there of oil cooled pcs.
As an aside, power transformers are filled with oil to help keep them cool. If they are punctured and the oil is drained, they run the risk of overheating and exploding.

Are you using XMP for RAM? Or did you buy RAM for 2133MHz?
gritty timber
2070s is a solid card but not for $600
just wait until 3000 series gets ironed out and starts selling for MSRP
fleet canopy
2070 Super at this point has become a 350$ card
abstract kite
Except its not
merry bay
@gritty timber don't think they'll go anywhere near original MSRP until 4000 series because of the new tariffs
fleet canopy
I hope they deal with the scalpers next time at least
gritty timber
well yes but the tariffs are kinda unrelated to supply/demand markup
I've seen regular 1080s go for $500.
the market is aids right now
merry bay
the tariffs do put the normal price above original MSRP though
so even when things go back to normal it won't be as low as expected.
a better product will have to drive prices down further.

i was lucky, a friend of mine gives me this card for 300 euro

i bought RAM for 2133 MHZ, and put them on the fast RAM slots
quaint pollen
Not sure if thats a good deal or not
600 bugs isnt a good deal, wait 4 mounths until the 3000series is here, then u can buy it for 400

My friend is looking for a gaming laptop or to build her own pc with a budget of $900
And then she’s asks me about what kinda processor and ram will she need
And idk cause that stuff confuses me
Oh she also travels a lot so lugging a pc around would be a pain. So I think she wants a laptop that can play games. Not the latest and greatest games but you know. 2-3 year old games
wind hollow
Idk. Mine was like 700$ and it plays most games I have. Can’t play cyberpunk or the new assassins creed but yeah
Plays gtfo at 30fps with some dips lol and load time in general for games sucks but it runs and I can play games
abstract kite
And then she’s asks me about what kinda processor and ram will she need
AMD Raven Ridge 2 series processor and 8 gigabytes of ram should do the trick
gritty timber
Plays gtfo at 30fps with some dips lol and load time in general for games sucks ...
not really what i would call comfortable gaming experience

30 fps works for me. And low graphics are fine too. As long as I have an enjoyable experience idc if it’s the best experience
wind hollow
AMD Raven Ridge 2 series processor and 8 gigabytes of ram should do the trick
What about a AMD Ryzen 5? Idk how that compares or what it actually is

Oh the laptop I’m looking at has a GTX 1660 ti

It is repairable if you have the correct tools and components
Just need to know what component melted, have the correct soldering tools, and a steady hand.

that is if it didn't blow up anything down the line

Should be fine as long as the traces didn't vaporize, but you really can't tell without an xray.
I've see worse be repaired.

It could be shorted to both the capacitor and/or fuse, and without scematics, or really proper clean up, you can't know if they're buggered.

For fans

usually the single fan near the cpu cooler is outtake
something like this

Cause I bought a pre-built awhile back as a starter I can upgrade later if need be and as it sits the way it was put together was there is 2 fans in the front taking out air and 1 in the back taking out
simple jay
yeah thats pretty typical as far as fans go
