General computer talk/advice

I think I should rather just check through all the HDDs that my dad has standing around somewhere. I mean, nobody knows if any one of those work, but at least they look better.

 

I'm just about to watch this...

 

Was told that the first "quality" hard drives (like... 50KB?) spun down for 5 minutes. Tell me if I'm referring to my father too much.

 

yes

it supports it right now in fact, as long as you're running windows 10 and have up to date drivers, just press the windows key and R at the same time, then type in dxdiag

at the bottom of the window that pops up, it should say "DirectX Version: Directx X" where X is the version number, it should say 12 (I'm on my 8.1 partition right now so can't get a screenshot to show as an example)

 

Here, it's at the bottom of the screenshot.

 

see I have every update to my drivers and windows 10 on a supported gpu and I get 11.3 and my one dx12 application fails to initialize

 

ESDI.

 

dang, ran the api overhead test on 3dmark

DX11 MT drawcalls before it droped below 30fps: 49,XXX

DX12 Drawcalls before it dropped below 30: i'd say about 349,XXX? somewhere around there

i most certainly look forward to seeing games that have both dx11 versions and dx12 versions to see the difference in performance

 

Suddenly I have to think of that "And that's how a Mac is used for gaming"-joke.

 

Its not a mac

 

Lol, I don't know why you'd do that.
But still, don't newer MacBooks have light up Apple logos?

What is it then?

 

An hp with a sticker and some harsh lighting to make it appear that it is glowing

 

Macbook. Used as a mouse pad by many progamers.
@eeEtilt "I don't know how to respond to that" is pretty random anyway.
EDIT: Oh, okay.

 

Only thing that macs are good at is video editing

 

I actually have a friend who stuck an Apple sticker that he got from his iPad on the back of his Samsung laptop. It's still there.

And other stuff. Like easily running Windows and OS X on the same machine.

 

One time my moms computer it had an apple sticker over the dell logo, the service guy looked at it and just laughed

 

What made it hillarious is that his DAD actually believed it was a Mac for a second. Then he realized it was a sticker. He likes it there, after all it's his laptop isn't it?

 

Yeah

 

so i spawned a total of 8 trucks in beamng. Only dropped 10 fps. is this good? I think it is, as for each vehicle i spawn on my i5 4670k @4.3ghz , i drop around 10 fps. Did this on dual quad core xeons by the way.
