I'm fucking sick and tired of my 7850s in crossfire. They can't do anything well. Should I get a 980 ti? or is there better for the money?
fury x is probably a little more forward-looking with what's coming in the industry
both pascal and arctic islands are probably coming q2 if you can wait.

>fury x is probably a little more forward-looking with what's coming in the industry
no it isn't, the fury is 30% slower than a 980ti and is bottlenecked by it's vram and rops
>>51992996
there's a reason why i said forward-looking

it depends on if OP wants to look ahead a few months or just play games now
Why aren't you using a 486DX2?
why are you?
i'm perfectly comfortable on my broadwell
I am though
I have an example of picrel in my garage I'm thinking of rigging up as a proof of concept web server.

I like playing Quake in buttery smooth cinematic 24 fps so I need my Pentium 90
Don't even think about buying this if it goes on sale.
>>51992791
Already did and I love it.
Got it for free
Don't even install synapse though, AIDS right there
Luamacros or Hidmacros is good, mouse essentially is another keyboard
>>51992791
I have mine still after 2 years. Going strong and only paid 30$. I don't understand the hate.
How can you tell if your capacitors go bad?
At a cursory glance you can tell if the electrolytic ones are burst and leaking electrolytes but that should be obvious. That or swelling is bad.

I was given an acer s56ca-bh51-cb from my brother because he changed a setting in the bios, and then it refused to boot. However, it isn't dead

>change ram
>suddenly works
>no sodlering bullshit required
and if you get into bios, he's probably change the mode from ahci to raid or some shit too. most retards tend to do that.
>>51992186
It's a laptop with 1 HDD bay, I don't think it even HAS raid option in the bios. We could try with only one ram stick at a time, try both sticks and see if it changes anything.
>>51992235
You'd be unlucky if it wasn't ram
normies like to drop their laptops on the couch/bed and make the hard drive skip and ram come loose.
I've been using Linux Mint for about 3 months now. Why would anyone bother with a lower level Linux OS, when Ubuntu and similar distributions are much more widely supported?
Share what Linux OS you use, and why.
>>51991768
Arch, pacman, less bloat.
Mint is fine but apt
ChromeOS, it came on my chromebook, it does all i need it to do.
Its easy and tinkering with it is fun.
Im currently trying to learn how to delete one partition and expand another with fdisk.
I use arch for pacman, AUR and other than that it just works fine for me. Never had a reason to switch back to Ubuntu or Mint.
I havent tried a redhat distro before though
your daily reminder that if you block ads you are stealing the money news sites are entitled to or else they will go bankrupt
>>51991739
If I could make cnn, bnn, and fox go bankrupt I would go door to door installing adblock on peoples computers for free.
It's my computer so I will determine what I do with it, not a corporation. Sorry if that makes them bankrupt. The burden is on them to figure out how to run a successful business, not on me.
>>51991739
>you are stealing abc's money if you go to the bathroom during commercial breaks
lol fuck you i'll keep my adblocker on
Any reason why I shouldn't buy one of these bad boys used over an i5 or even an i7?
Do they overclock well?
Not particularly, it's actually a pretty good way to save money when buying used.
>overclocking workstation hardware
Pretty sure there's a couple de/g/enerates shitposting from overclocked Nehalem-era chips though.
>>51991353
Don't Xeons usually overclock well because of the good chip quality though?
The qBittorrent "STALLED" & "I/O ERRORS" memes are simply just that, memes. In my relatively short history of using qBT (about 4y), I have never experienced the memes that people so often complain about whenever qBT is mentioned. This may be attributed to my being on a real OS (GNU/Linux), but from what I've read on the Github issues page, most of it is just PEBCAK and misconfiguration anyway.
They really need to add "subscribe" and "upvote" buttons on /g/.
>works on my machine

You should be banned for saying that.
Do you have a homepage /g/ ?

>none of the google nexus phones have sd slots
>google explained this because they think people get confused about how sd cards work
>they also stopped making their batteries easily removable
its like they want to avoid saying their entire gimmick is to keep you from keeping the phone for more than 1-2 years
>>51991001
No they said it's because SD cards are slower than internal storage and devs would have to account for this.

>Hear about Crimson
>Get cleanup utility

>Heard about fan issues so keep an eye on the fans for the first few days
>They're fine, revving up the heat goes up and everything.

>Randomly PC just starts crashing into a black screen, audio goes on for a few seconds than freezes as well
>Happens a couple times
>Uninstall
>Reinstall Catalyst
>Everything works fine again
So what the actual hell is wrong with Crimson that its breaking GPUs?
And apparently I'm one of the lucky ones because reading around a lot of people after experiencing same type of crashes I have were unable to uninstall Crimson or reinstall catalyst.
dunno lol
Werks on My Machine
just realized i havent had my PC or any games crash a single time since i've installed crimson

After being banned from all of Node.js, he was then banned from the entirety of Github, for nothing but eggplant emojis that certain people considered "phallic"? What the fuck.
