Yeah your gaming build is disturbingly typical, budget-minded and decent.

I know 3 guys who have FX-8350/nVidia configuration. It's the best combination for restricted budget gaming builds.

I7 870+gtx680 here, your pc should be fine for a while if you don't need to play everything on ultra.

I use my brother's macbook pro when I'm at home since I don't want to lug my tower with me.

Whenever I boot up [spoiler]Minecraft[/spoiler] or use Opera's video overlay, the fan spins up and it makes this rattling sound like it's about to die or something. It also sits on top of an open box because it gets really hot for no good reason.

Hp Pavilion dv6

Amd gpu
Able to run it for 5hours in winter until it turns itself off bc of heat.

Op here. I opened mine up and changed the paste as soon as I got it. The fucker would shut down every few minutes because previous owner spilt wine in it.

Cleaned it up though, no more shutdowns, even after using it for half a day at a time, but it does get to the mid 80s browsing the internet.

Great for winter.

>Because having UI lag in the most up to date OS should be normal

Theres a difference between having the bottom of the barrel, and a step above that. And that difference is usually the ability to not worry about full screen effects from my machine's native OS stuttering or scrolling at full resolution looking like I'm on a fucking $250 Samsung ARM chromebook at launch. I seriously shouldn't have to fucking enable scaling to avoid problems like this. It should have never been designed this way in the first place.
>>
>>54698225
I'm on a bay trail netbook. Web browsing and the general ui runs smooth, 1080p videos don't stutter.

I don't see your point?
>>
>>54698225
And make a fatter laptop????
>>
>>54698250

That post was in reference to "retina" screen laptops (mostly 13" Macbook Pros) running stock Intel HD graphics.
>>
>>54698261
Oh. Sorry, didn't see that.
Yeah I agree with you there, as long as the advertised use isn't hindered by hardware then there really isn't a problem.
>>
>Asus laptop
>Nvidia GPU
>Intel CPU
I hate this so much, kill me.
>>
>>54698275

I can't really name a modern chipset that can't push 1080p well under any OS it supports. But when you start hitting 1440p and above, you start to need a little more horsepower than bottom of the barrel.

>>54698375
Tell me about it. Glad my g3 died, SD801 just wasn't cutting it.
