OLED/AHVA or fuck off, backlight bleed IPS is intolerable in 2016

Are you stupid or what? AHVA is IPS
okay lets get down to brass tax
a game's resolution is universally agreed to be the biggest impact on a GPU
how ever, what if your monitor/tv screen is natively 1080p, if you downscale a game's resolution to 900p or 720p but then your screen upscales i, are you just off-setting it?
or is it still less strain on the GPU?
are you 12 or just dumb?
It is less strain on the GPU.
On your end, however, the quality will be diminished because upscaling doesn't add information from thin air. If the GPU is providing limited resolution information, all the screen can do is "stretch."
Why is this so expensive?
SD cards are supposed to be dirt cheap these days.

Ya fucked up m8
>>54892632
There were no listings for this particular SD on Amazon. I wonder why
>>54892615
You're supposed to buy these from Aliexpress or various Chinese websites (Gearbest, Fasttech, Banggood). Otherwise you get jew'd hard, as ebay sellers just resell these with a very huge mark up.

So my 77 year old grandma wants to get a laptop. She's doesn't know much and will be using it just for email, the Internet, maps, etc., just average grandma shit.
She wants a laptop with at least a 15" display . Do you guys have any good suggestions for something durable yet not too expensive? Her budget is around $600.

I posted this on /sci/ a week ago, sadly it didn't get many replies
from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_economy
If both b and N are positive integers, then the radix economy E(b,N) is equal to the number of digits needed to express the number N in base b.
E(b,N)≈b logb(N)=bln(N)/ln(b)
Then for a constant N, E(b,N) will have a minimum at e. Meaning e is therefore the base with the lowest average radix economy.
And since 2 / ln(2) ≈ 2.89 and 3 / ln(3) ≈ 2.73, it follows that 3 is the integer base with the lowest average radix economy.

Because on/off or up/down or north/south or what have you is way simpler to implement than on/off/? up/down/neither and north/south/neither.
A transistor can be on or off. Can it be both?

I feel your pain.
/sci/ looks down on us and /g/ is consumers only. There really is no place for cs-masterrace around here.

Cheap-ass bastard thread. Post your preferred method of aquiring hardware for dirt cheap and/or free (legally, of course).
Been doing some eBay shit lately and got some decent ultrabook-lite for $180 CDN and an all-in-one for $180 CDN. Also a refurb lelnovo with an SSD for $130 CDN. And some custom PC with an i3 and somewhat fucked RAM slots for $100 CDN.

Does using pi 3 counts?
>>54892160
As far as I can tell, it cost $50 before tax here in Canada. Which is pretty bruital considering what you get.
Ok, which one of you did this?
It was me

How risky is disabling APM in the BIOS? It seems this is the only way of preventing crazy frame rate drops in Doom.
I already updated my drivers and tried lowering the settings in the game, but nothing else seems to have any effect.
pic related, my hardware
It's not risky at all. Do it.
Check your cpu voltages and clocks beforehand and see if they're affected in any regard. If I were you I'd go to power management in windows and use the performance profile (yyes I know you're on a desktop).
>>54892159
what exactly am I looking for when checking the cpu voltages and clocks?
>>54892414
A reference. Power saving/management keeps cpus at low voltages/clocks whenever possible. But you may have some trouble like when it keeps the clock/voltage high (or fixed) when idle. Again though, it's most likely due to your power profile on windows being on 'balanced' if anything. Otherwise you might either want to overclock or assign adaptive mode for your chips voltage from bios if you see that the cpu isn't cutting it on stock.

Just a few weeks until the end of the month and get a 1070 or rx 480 dumbass
No need for 500gb SSD, those graphics cards are underpowered as fuck, and Zen is going to compete with intel with AM4 at the end of the year.
Just wait a bit.
So I should wait couple of months before building a new pc? Say I got a budget of about $1,500, what would you recomend?
What would be better, 2 MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming LE Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card or the new 1080?
RX480
>>54891196
Just buy a 480 and stop being autistic about gaming
1080, don't fall for the AMD meme.

Is Google too big?

No. It's just that you blindly agreed to their terms of use after signing up.

Yeah, that's impressive amounts of electricity and storage wasted.
you can turn that off
