    Tips on being a cheap piece of shit

    Why do you give a shit? It's literally harmful to no one.

    That and the drivers probably aren't finalized either. But yeah, having a bunch of outlets race to put out rushed results for Youtube views doesn't actually do anyone any good.

    Tips on being a cheap piece of shit

    Born poor and never want to be poor again. It doesn't matter if I have to live within heavily restricted means. I always want a huge reserve pile of cash in case something breaks or something extreme happens. Living through Hurricane Sandy and that huge flood in 2010 and having to fight the...

    Tips on being a cheap piece of shit

    Yeah I save over 70% of my income. It used to be over 90% when I was working more overtime.

    The D&D thread

    Back when I was a useless hippy college student, I started writing material that would come to form the basis of a D&D campaign. It was going to be a setting where colonialism/imperialism was a big part of the story. I was going to have plot points that revolved around an Orcish slave trade as...

    Once you run the numbers AIOs are just not much better than the good Noctua and Be Quiet coolers, and they last about 3x longer.

    That looks like I need a bigger CPU cooler to get all that heat out faster.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Being on the exact other side of the equation, I'll tell you it doesn't make any more sense on our end either. We sell new support contracts on 7+ year old hardware all the time, even 25 year old hardware we still sell contracts on. Frequently we don't even charge very much for these old...

    New World

    I think the problem is that your user account is not considered the "owner" of all the files on the drive. Google "How to take ownership of all files on a drive." Alternatively, nuking the drive completely would be even better. Windows installs are not really meant to be ported from build to...

    Your UAC options are wrong or, in a more extreme case, your permission structure on the drive got borked. Did the drive you play from come from another PC or a previous install of Windows? Nothing about how UAC functions fundamentally changed between 7 and 10, your settings are just... off.

    Is this actually fun to play on PC, or is the only fun trying to get it to run well on your computer and then never actually playing it?

    You really don't want to put more than 70% max load on your PSU on a regular basis. Efficiency drops way down, and it shortens the lifespan. You may have a nice warranty but it still sucks to be without a PSU for weeks while its processed.

    I requested one of the Latitudes with a Radeon so I could run my desktop at 120 fps at home, because dragging putty windows around at 60hz is for peasants.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I cannot tell the difference between 120hz and 144hz or 165hz, and almost always set my monitors to 120hz with 117fps cap and am perfectly fine with it.

    Yeah but that 800 bucks is now 1050 bucks if you have to go buy a 850W PSU right now.

    I'm guessing the 12 pin is drawing more amps through less pins? The 12 pin is definitely real since the Seasonic PSU adapter cable has already leaked. Not an electrical engineer but if I ever lose my job I'm definitely going back to school for that.

    Very interested in a review on that. There was an insane paypal + dell deal on slickdeals the other day for that monitor. Dell is also supposedly going to be releasing an Alienware 27 inch 240hz Fast-IPS 1440p with G-sync Ultimate, HDR600 and 0.1" bezels. AW2721D. Probably going to try to...

    Yeah I'd say a "normal" single GPU gaming PSU is 650 or 750, and 850-1000 is high. I'd be worried about running a 320W video card on a 750W PSU for 3-4 years. You're probably putting ~600W of load on it most of the time you're gaming.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    FPS drops off like a rock if you have insufficient RAM to hold the frame buffer and textures in memory. It is a "you must be this tall to ride" limitation, not a "more is better" metric. The previous biggest memory hog of AAA games was GTA 5, and that still only used about 5gb of RAM at 4k...
