Well /g/ I don't post here... literally ever but I figured it was as good of a place as any. I'm currently running 2 Radeon 5850 in Crossfire. Bought them when they were pretty new about 6 years ago. I was dreading the day they would start chugging but that day has now come.
I've been out of the graphics card loop for more than half a decade now so I don't know what's what anymore and how it compares to my set up. The cards are so outdated now that any comparison site brings up comparisons that I know can't be true. Gaining scores that are comparable to current high end cards.
So what cards are good these days that go from $200-300? I don't give a fuck if it's AMD or Nvidia.
>tldr; what's a good graphics card in the 200-300 dollar range.
R9 390 is the best card in your range.

Also if your CPU is also 6 years old it might be time to upgrade that as well, or you might bottleneck the 390.
>>52097548
My CPU is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7, 930 @ 2.8 GHz if it's helpful. Right now I'm just focusing on the graphics card situation so I know even less about the current scene of CPUs and how mine compares.

Anyone have any good programs for brute force cracking that work on mainstream media such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram? Much appreciated.
>>52097207
You can't be serious
Make it yourself, dumbo.
brute force attacks are not viable over a network

Efficiency
Different algorithms devised to solve the same problem often differ dramatically in their efficiency. These differences can be much more significant than differences due to hardware and software.
As an example, in Chapter 2, we will see two algorithms for sorting. The first, known as insertion sort, takes time roughly equal to c1n2 to sort n items, where c1 is a constant that does not depend on n. That is, it takes time roughly proportional to n2. The second, merge sort, takes time roughly equal to c2n lg n, where lg n stands for log2 n and c2 is another constant that also does not depend on n. Inser- tion sort typically has a smaller constant factor than merge sort, so that c1 < c2. We shall see that the constant factors can have far less of an impact on the running time than the dependence on the input size n. Let’s write insertion sort’s running time as c1n n and merge sort’s running time as c2n lg n. Then we see that where insertion sort has a factor of n in its running time, merge sort has a factor of lg n, which is much smaller. (For example, when n D 1000, lg n is approximately 10, and when n equals one million, lg n is approximately only 20.) Although insertion sort usually runs faster than merge sort for small input sizes, once the input size n becomes large enough, merge sort’s advantage of lg n vs. n will more than com- pensate for the difference in constant factors. No matter how much smaller c1 is than c2, there will always be a crossover point beyond which merge sort is faster.
1 of 2
For a concrete example, let us pit a faster computer (computer A) running insertion sort against a slower computer (computer B) running merge sort. They each must sort an array of 10 million numbers. (Although 10 million numbers might seem like a lot, if the numbers are eight-byte integers, then the input occupies about 80 megabytes, which fits in the memory of even an inexpensive laptop computer many times over.) Suppose that computer A executes 10 billion instructions per second (faster than any single sequential computer at the time of this writing) and computer B executes only 10 million instructions per second, so that computer A is 1000 times faster than computer B in raw computing power. To make the difference even more dramatic, suppose that the world’s craftiest programmer codes insertion sort in machine language for computer A, and the resulting code requires 2n2 instructions to sort n numbers. Suppose further that just an average programmer implements merge sort, using a high-level language with an inefficient compiler, with the resulting code taking 50n lg n instructions. To sort 10 million numbers, computer A takes
2 .107/2 instructions D 20,000 seconds (more than 5.5 hours) ; 1010 instructions/second
while computer B takes
1.2 Algorithms as a technology 13
50 107 lg 107 instructions 1163 seconds (less than 20 minutes) : 107 instructions/second
By using an algorithm whose running time grows more slowly, even with a poor compiler, computer B runs more than 17 times faster than computer A! The advantage of merge sort is even more pronounced when we sort 100 million numbers: where insertion sort takes more than 23 days, merge sort takes under four hours. In general, as the problem size increases, so does the relative advantage of merge sort.

I bought at new GPU in October, and since then, games don't run as well as I know they should be able to with the card I bought. It's a R9 270, and that's not a bad card. Not a very good card, but it's not bad. You'd think I'd be able to run games like Battlefront or Fallout 4, but I can't. I get maybe 1 frame per every two seconds, and that's on Low. I just tried a fresh install of my graphics drivers, but it didn't help. I know the card is working, just not as well as it should.
Which leads me to believe it might not be the GPU. Could be the CPU? My RAM? Hell, any clues at all? Please? I'm about to rip my hair out. I just want to play crappy games at decent graphical settings, but I can't.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Could be the single channel RAM.
That's all I can think of, there really isn't any other reason it shouldn't work.
Any other games that don't work?
>>52096659
Check the cpu/gpu usage in some program.
Are you sure your not using your cpus igpu or motherboard igpu?
>>52096659
Run MSI Afterburner in the background. See what kind of CPU/GPU usage you get. Also, that single channel memory probably doesn't help in games like FO4 with it's bizarre hunger for fast RAM.
Hi guys
I want to change Unity from Ubuntu but i don't know for what desktop environment.
Any help?
Sorry for my english.
c:
Kubuntu is nice senpai. Xubuntu is nice too.
KDE if you don't mind their skin and bloat
XFCE if you do
LXDE if you're using older hardware
GNOME or MATE if you don't like menus similar to windows for reasons
GNOME
Add ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 and install gnome
what can i do with it? ;-;
seedbox
some other shit
buy 50 of them and make a supercluster
>>52096525
install gentoo
>>52096525
What can you NOT do with it? Its a full fucking fledged computer in your palm. If you need to ask us "WAT DO GEE" you bought the wrong thing.
Ask me almost anything from a guy working in a fixed wireless internet service provider.
