General computer talk/advice

Its kinda funny cause the Sim City 4 sound track seems to get a lot more attention, while it is also fantastic this one is

Ah right, the same sort of thing happens when you tap the search widget too. Or long hold the home button and tap the Google icon to move from page search to the Google Now screen.

 

I guess so, but I do find it really useful integrated into the launcher especially on older android versions.

I'm now on console cuz it is advanced over pc in evry single way. Sold my pc and got a ps4 pro

I am serious, human eye can't see over 24 fps anyway, and only console makers know that. theyre smarter.

and console is on a tv. with pc youre on a desk and it sucks.

 

Anyone knows a good cheap mouse ?

 

Sadly no, mine broke, got refund but I'm currently using my Logitech stupid wireless mouse is use at school

 

you can hook PC to TV and use a wireless mouse and keyboard+ you can use console controllers with a PC anyway

 

derp
would something like this be good for beaming?

I have this old acer aspire that I want to turn into a gaming pc. I was going to replace everything exept the optical drive and some other small parts. what do you think?

 

I've ran an original retail simcity 4 on windows 8

 

sigh, why do Intel still not have good GPUs, the Atom Z3775F doesnt and will never support H265 HEVC Decoding or playback. Its such a shame that the Atoms are getting left out.

 

I'm totally wondering where my Laptop's E2-1800 would be on this PassMark score.

I simply cannot be bothered to run PassMark on this PC.

 

The game itself runs absolutely fine. However I have had issues where over time (2 mins or so) the screen will tint redder and redder over time. However this can be fixed by disabling the day night cycle. I can't remember if it needed any compatibility mode stuff enabled either.

The Intel Atom is a 5w processor, desktop performance processors tend to be closer to 90w, therefore an Atom uses 18x less power. This is why the GPU is limited in performance, to save battery life and to allow it to run without a fan without burning peoples hands (since Atom devices tend to be very slim and sometimes use the case as a heatsink so 70*c is not acceptable).
Better hardware accelerated video decoding would be a very nice touch on them though since they are generally web browsing/ video consumption devices. Presumably they will get the feature at some point in the future.

 

Didn't have that issue with simcity on windows 8 myself. It run perfectly fine

 

Is there a way I can hook up a monitor to my iGPU and a seperate one to my RX 460? That way I can have dual monitors without a major performance impact.

 

No, you cannot use an Intel gpu and an AMD gpu together in a similar way to crossfire or sli.

 

How about getting an older 10ish dollar amd gpu to do it? Nevermind, I only have 1 GPU slot

 

Finally figured out the issue I have been having with OBS and alike, a "factory install" setting on the driver update seemed to fix all of the artifacting whenever I was recording in Nvidia NVENC mode

 

You can only run two graphics cards and combine their performance for gaming if they are the exact same card (so two R9 fury's for example). You can get a $10 gpu and use it to plug extra screens into however it will make no difference to performance.
