How many people here use an old Mac Pro? What do you use it for? What model is it, and have you upgraded anything in it?
I'm a video editor, I make TV commercials. I want to upgrade my 2010 mac pro with more RAM, SSD's and a new GPU, ideally the 980 Ti, but I'm not sure how to maintain compatibility with 10.6.8, which is important since our legacy projects are in Final Cut Pro 7 (we are now using premiere to edit and fcpx for media management).
Constantly switching out graphics cards sounds like an enormous hassle.
>>54745002
You've got 4 PCIe 2.0 slots.
No need to swap cards.
>>54745429
Actually, it's just 3 - an x16 for the GPU, an x8 for my external RAID, and an x4 for a video capture card - and I want to free up the x4 to get a joint SSD/eSATA card too.
What is the coolest piece of technology I can buy for under $300

Windows 10 is a piece of shit.
I didn't jailbreak my phone and my folders turned into cirlces.
What happened?
>>54744836
I'm afraid your faggotry is contagious.
Your phone is acting like a faggot because its around you so much that you influence it.
>>54744836
is this really what ios looks like now? fuck it's ugly
>>54744836
they turned into circles
thats clear to anyone not technologically illiterate enough to own an iphone
>not sure if 5 rounds up or down
ZAWA
Up when you owe someone, down when they owe you.
And that's because everyone is a fucking kike and wants more money.
>>54744631
It rounds up you idiot.
I have a collection of 5 2.5" drives.
1x80gb
2x160gb
1x250gb
1x320gb
Planning on getting caddies for them and using them for backups. Any better ideas /g/?
I already have a Raspberry pi, so shoving things up my ass no longer interests me.
Pi nas?
Kill yourself.
>>54744661
Only projects involving the drives please.

Help me /g/ my computer is dying of natural causes and I promised, that I will install it one linux before his death.
>>54744446
Install gentoo
>>54744446
So do you mean to perform the information technology version of converting on your deathbed? I recommend Church of Emacs.
>>54744492
How?
And it looks decent?, this are my computer last moments.
I'll treasure his last screencap.
Help me guys. My 980ti ACX will sometimes get up to 75ish degrees. I don't want that at all. My power supply is facing fan down right now, if I flip it upside down will I get better Temps? What else can I do to cool it better?
Pic unrelated but it's my gift to you if you help.
I know I'm not supposed to ask for help but you guys seem nice enough
read the sticky and fuck off
My r9 290x goes to 95 degrees.
This isn't the future I was promised in 1991
Fuck off, retard.

You're the kind of person who believes in god right?
Kill yourself before it's too late, mankind does not need religious cancer anymore.

If you increase the resolution you are recording with on your smartphone, does the field of view (FOV) increase?
For example, if I record at 720p and I get a FOV of let's just say x by y; if I record at 4k resolution do I get a FOV of 3x by 3y?
Or do I get the same FOV but with higher pixel density for the same FOV size?
no.

No. Fov is determined by your camera lens and the Level of zoom.
>mfw I see someone with a cracked screen on their phone
Don't they have any self respect to replace that shit? If not the phone at least the screen what kind of disgusting backwater hick are they?
Off yourself.

Why is this so much cheaper than other 970 cards? What's wrong with it?
>>54744056
>What's wrong with it?
blower cooler.
>>54744056
Memes aside it Suffers from thermal throttle and lacks power pins for OC
>>54744077
>thermal throttle
Would it be fine if I wasn't planning on overclocking? This is my first build?
I'm gonna build a PC specifically for graphic design work. Anything special I should know about?
Currently just plan on having 32GB of RAM, not sure about anything else.
>inb4 fell for the 32gb ram meme
budget ~$900 USD

add teledildotronics and vr support right into the box
32gb of RAM simply isn't enough for intense graphic design. Go for 64gb. Also get a large hard drive to store all the ram
see this?
this is an asus c201 chromebook. its the only laptop I own. it's fine but fuck crouton and the slow as shit arm cpu
I need something cheap that runs linux, has a decent battery, and has x86
what have you got for me /g/
>>54743969
there was an eeebook that had a pentium quad core for like 400, and also had fhd, with a 14 hours battery
i would probably buy that instead of anything arm
>>54744005
this one
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B9APNG0
Acer CB3 if you are okay with going chromebook again
best performance in the sub 200$ budget
