vast sand
ye
vagrant holly
i mean i converted to usd

and 999 sgd is 600 or so usd
vagrant holly
i got this
i mainly got it because i wanted to try cp with raytracing
would've gone for a 1070 myself otherwise

vagrant holly
i like their lowkey design

I'm tryna make it a sleeper

my mobo is ROG but i got it just because asus' track record for mobos is alright
vast sand
so I have a mATX case
vagrant holly
nice nice

tiny case
but huge power
also
RGB gay
i'll probably turn it off
or set it to white
vagrant holly
eh i'm not really a big fan of matx builds if it can be helped
vast sand
I dont really have space
vagrant holly
i mean i love seeing a nice compact build
vagrant holly
oh alright that makes sense

that's all it takes?

vagrant holly
no amount of observations will justify the fact that it's an aluminium box, proven to have pretty bad airflow by GN and still having the audacity to ask for 200 euros
hexed citrus
that's the thing
I'm gonna be happy to have that design
as long as it doesn't compromise in terms of mounting, airflow and IO
vagrant holly
i can agree with that
i'm a sucker for minimalistic designs myself
but fuck ROG
their stuff is good
"except the case"
but they do so much bullshit to raise the price
like needless rgb, needless styling
hexed citrus
I rlly like their card designs doe
vagrant holly
it's just asus' excuse to raise the price on their products
hexed citrus
others look way more tacky, especially gigabyte
hexed citrus
ye those look gaudy
vagrant holly
i like this latest design philosophy they decided to follow
the fans look kinda misplaced
and the whole thing looks beefy
very industrial
vagrant holly
the case width also allows for decent cpu coolers

I bought a new one today (fancy shmancy AC and whatnot) and it feels... weak
5GHz tends to drop out even in my bedroom (the one closest to it)
2.4 is also pretty weak at longer ranges
Idk if mesh is a good idea in this case.
quartz atlas
mine is a huge step up from my previous one
goes through 4 cement walls with no issue
tame topaz
Basically just trying to think of a solution that would provide ample signal to the other 2 bedrooms as well
What model?

There's a cheap mesh solution but it'll require buying a switch as well

Right near, cupboard open:
My bedroom (closest bedroom to router as you can see with floorplan)

So weird
Even if the dataplan isn't that speedy the signal at least has to be strong

hexed citrus
you can use the wall corner pieces to run the cable through

quartz atlas
if im gonna run cable everywhere, might as well get 4 $20 routers one for each room
okay seriously, why is my router generating 2 hidden ssids

when you upgrade an ATX PSU is it literally just plug & play
eg. swapping out old psu/cables with new making sure to plug in the 24-eps/8 pin cpu/pcie and any sata/peripherals
no need to go into the bios for anything as it shouldn't matter right?
upgrading my semi modular seasonic to a fully modular super flower PSU so

sheesh the backwards compatibility on windows is insane
running this 1997 software in 2020 
desert olive
many corporate entities use Windows
they have to support something as old as DOS just to make sure their programs keep running
It's not cheap in terms if time and money to upgrade your infrastructure everytime a new OS is out
if they didn't then companies wouldn't bother upgrading and that'd mean Microsoft would lose sales

And I sure hope your ssd has a dram cache
I also don't see any intake fans you you might accumulate some dust due to the negative pressure system

yea i think i should get another hdd and a backup drive too just in case
ohh shoot i just checked that my ssd actually doesn't have dram cache, i totally forgot about it.

extern "JavaScript" {

std::string str;
std::getline(std::cin, str);
extern "C" {
size_t len = strlen(str);
}
extern "Python" {
print(len)
}
extern "Java" {
String[] str_arr = str.split(",", -1);
}
extern "Rust" {
for s in str_arr {

console.log(s);

I'm so surprised how well Memu runs
It feels like I'm playing on my phone
absolute 0 lag even when theres a lot of bullets and planes
vagrant holly
that's why i keep suggesting memu
but everybody else keeps suggesting bluesucc to whoever asks
vast sand
the only problem I have with is
it that when I stream it to Discord
it crashes
so I have to resort to Blueshit or Noobx
at least Blueshit runs better than Noobx
vagrant holly
i never tried screen sharing so i wouldn't know
vagrant holly

Bluestack averages around 45
Memu

It doesnt even use my CPu that much

vagrant holly
memu?

I have it at 6 cores
only about 25% cpu usage
Bluestacks is like Memu
but runs a bit heavier
around 35% load
Imagine having more resources but running shittier
Another funny thing
I have my screen set to 100% saturation
looks so much better than 50%
also raised the brightness by 20%
to compensate on the saturation

it used to run fine
on my older machines
back then I had an i7-4700MQ
ran absolutely great
okay
never mind

I had this at 30fps
all the time
I thougth I changed it
I remember changing it when I installed AL
like a few months ago
bRuh
Still doesnt run as smoothly as Memu tho
But a huge improvement
It idles at like 93fps
Idk how
but it does
desert olive
how are you getting more frames when the game forces it to cap it at 60
desert olive
probably what the emulator reports, when in reality the app is actually FPS capped
the FPS cap is straining since the game struggles specially in moments with many bullets and torpedos
lavish trench
Do you guys recommend I up the amount of cores I run Nox on? it runs kind of laggy on my laptop
It has 32GB of ram and it's currently running at 4 (which is the default I believe)
lavish trench
8 cores
yeah I know... this laptop isn't really meant for gaming to begin with being Apple and all 
vast sand
Nox is kinda shit so
Use Memu
Run of 8192 MB
use 8cores
or Bluestacks
Bluestacks is fine as well
It shouldnt run bad
It runs fine on my laptop
lavish trench
Guess I'll try Bluestacks then. Thanks 
vast sand
ye
lavish trench
And Memu as a 2nd option afterwards
vast sand
Bluestacks only allows up to 4GB
but thats more than enough
Then set it to 8 cores
If it still lags reduce it to 6
if it still proceeds to lag
set it to 4
Its a Macbook so it wouldnt really be able to sustain high clock speeds for long times
due to its bad cooling
lavish trench
I legit hope that linking it on Bluestacks doesn't give much of a hassle
vast sand
It shouldnt
lavish trench
because it was somewhat of a pain linking my account when I upgraded my phone not to long ago

and at least my macbook has usb-c charging... if not big rip

oh snap, they're trying to get their foot into gaming phones now or what?

not really
They're just trying to close the gap between their CPUs and the Apple ones
the A14 Bionic Chip is really strong
Compared to the Snapdragon 865+

Yeah makes sense in that perspective but I mean if they wanted to go all the way they could try competeing in that gaming phone race

i mean it also doesnt help that the first games with rtx capability tried to go complete 4k with it
like did tomb raider even run on a normal card well?

well the games themselves need to start optimizing for it
instead of having characters that become reflective when they are wet
in addition to the reflective water on the ground
and the random mirrors placed around
"im sure it wont be too many light bounces"

the sad truth is that they have less time to optimize 
just like less time to fix a bug

vagrant holly
fireclan hit the nail on the head, that's what happened with bfv
they implemented rtx for every puddle, every destroyed and intact car model, even guns
it would be great if we could pull that off but as of right now, with out current hardware, raytracing should be used sporadically
we have came up with all kinds of tricks to fake ray tracing in video games throughout the years, key example being screen space reflections and ambient occlusion
ray tracing, with our current hardware at least, is meant to live along side those, not replace them, not yet anyway
hexed citrus
not to mention there's a bunch of idiots that expect the rtx cards to perform 2-3x better than the traditional counterparts

the chance of you needing a "gaming" laptop in class is exactly 0%

Yeah idk what to do then
A large chunk of the insurance money is gonna be for the scooter (50%)

what you need in class is a decent CPU that is very efficient and maybe 16-32 GB of RAM
16 is usually enough
tame topaz
I don't have that kinda money, jeez
hexed citrus
"gaming" laptops are in the 1000$ range anyway

without all the "gaming" crap you can probably get smth decent for 300-400

and upgrade it to 16 GB

What about desktop?
It's planned that I go home at weekends so that can be pretty cumbersome

why would they
why would you waste precious R&D time on a setup that point something of a % of users will have

well they currently wasted R&D time trying to make 4k 144hz raytracing
hexed citrus
it's not wasted at all
that's where we're going
higher resolutions
higher framerates

yeah but why not allow for multiple 2080s to run together?

what bigger card?

also is the 3090 rated for RTX?
hexed citrus
obviously
severe falcon
wait what
severe falcon
then how are the other 2 so cheap
severe falcon
yeah but if the 3070 can do rtx and its cheaper and faster than the 2080TI, then what happened
hexed citrus
that only the custom solutions like A100 system cards can outperform
wdym what happened
the 20 series was the first of its kind
the first generation RTX
it was clear as day that it's a initial test product lineup
severe falcon
yeah i know it was a testbed
hexed citrus
that had the early adoption tax written all over it

but like we are talking about them shaving literally $700

how are GPUs still advancing this fast when CPUs are basically crawling?
hexed citrus
and no game benchmarks aren't the be all and end all of performance

Fuck me like a 3080 is just 1 month of salary that is achievable
hexed citrus
so stfu with that bullshit
because graphics is a very specific mathematical calculation
not to mention that it's not bound by a specific architecture design
it's like comparing a master at their own craft with a jack of all trades
x86 is getting REALLY old
severe falcon
its only what, like 40 years old now?

not to mention that were also slowly inching to the transistor size limit
in terms of pc age that's dinosaur ancient level

ARM sounds cursed

just associating ARM with the big bois sounds weird

We'll see how it goes with Apple's ARM macs and macbooks

ARM IS a big boi
severe falcon
yes but its a big boi on mobile

A13 Bionic is a beast ngl so I think apple if they wanted to they could do something epic

it's a architecture
hexed citrus
cortex A72
severe falcon
ye on the new one
severe falcon
so is the CPU design and the architecture the same thing?
severe falcon
ok thats what i was confused on
hexed citrus
the architecture is basically a standard on what a CPU should have to be qualified as such
the design is basically the blueprint for it
I rlly want to see what AMD has in store with RDNA2
but knowing AMD I expected disappointment
maybe some decent-ish mid low tier cards

who even uses x86 in this time and age
aside from ancient servers and machines of course

it's very sad when you realize that even the newest x86 CPU still boots in 16-bit 8086 mode

Question, can my LG gram laptop be upgraded with a graphics card?
gloomy tinsel
IDK if the plug for External GPU in your laptop exist
but it sacrifice the Wifi Cable
so You need to buy USB wifi dongle
shut sapphire
BTW SLI is dead
gloomy tinsel
it is but if you're on old ass laptop like 2015 and below
they still have those port
But RN external GPU's are just EXTERNAL gpu dock. like RAZER Core x Gaming Box
NVM those are not worth it
Still using Laptop for normal usage not for gaming purpose

@desert olive ur own damn pc still uses x86
desert olive
yes I know

@fringe goblet if it has thunderbolt you can buy a external GPU enclosure but I wouldn't stick anything bigger than a 2060 or 2070 in it
fringe goblet
There’s a GPU enclosure? 
stuck hull
It's an external gpu box with psu in it.
Basically you connect a gpu into the slot, then you connect thunderbolt from it to your notebook.
This thing used to be more relevant 4-5 years ago, it's getting less popular nowadays I guess.

I’ve checked it in google recently and they all look like the mini versions of the PC itself 
It’s nice and the price is reasonable 
fringe goblet
But is it portable tho?

Windows Subsystem for Linux is getting GPU support, I can run games now that it'll receive a display device. But speaking of which, can I run Anbox on WSL?
Also all android VMs hate WSL and its annoying. They keep disabling a Windows Feature it requires.

Long shot, anyone know how to send posts with specific flair for a given subreddit in Python using discord.py? Trying to create a personal discord bot but I am unable to find resources for this feature
desert olive
I think you'd need the reddit module for that. discord.py has nothing to do with sending reddit posts.
