General computer talk/advice

that's not all that bad, id expect that it had better graphics than a competing intel atom solution, yes its dual core but its not all that bad

my 2gb GTX960 really doesn't have enough vRAM and also lacks oomph really for high performance 1080p gaming. Also I want a freesync monitor and so 1080p 144hz will be awesome, especially with a Freesync monitor because I will probably go with the lower end VEGA card because it will be cheaper and I wont need the flagship performance (unless its cheap enough, ie. lower than £350) but I will probably go with the lower end VEGA if its £350 or lower.

 

What do you guys think of the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition, what could rival it, and is the rival better?

 

If you shop right, you should be able to find an RX 470 for about the same price. The RX 470 is about 50% faster, but requires external power.

 

How much is the 470? The 1050Ti on Newegg is $150 U.S Dollars or about 117 Pounds.

 

You can find a 470 for about 145-175 if you shop around. Look for promo codes and the like.

 

Pretty even difference.

 

reddit BuildaPcSales is a good place to start.

 

Virgin Media do excellent cable management...


Found out a few days ago that we could get faster internet and a TiVO box (although it's only freeview) for only £3 extra a month.
Glad to be getting a new router.

 

still better than the horror that is stuffed in my PC
literally at one point there were so many wires that the sidepanel barely shut

 

Is there a way to stop the google chrome icon bug. Because every time i try to sign into my browser so bookmarks are synced or to use google radio app it keeps duplicating icons.

Is there a fix

 

Found a picture of when i setup my blender cycles rendering machine. Yes all 3 psu are being used for it. It later got all put into one pc with dual psu. I posted pics of that before though.

 

Oh my

 

i mean.

 

Sometimes i wonder if my 1070 cries in silence. 10/10 mobo aswell btw

you see the white dots on the GPU? thats dust sucked in through the sidepanel...yeah

 

blimey that is a very classic green motherboard.... oh and that CPU fan...
what CPU?

 

A 4770 non-k. Cant overclock it with this piece of shit mobo + cooler anyways. Im hoping to upgrade to a ryzen 1600X in the next year or so.

 

oh ok, I bet that runs warm under full load :0 (the 4770)

 

Yup, at a nice 87 degrees celsuis. and the mobo gets all the way up 60...thats not normal, i know.

 

Guess who's motherboard just failed... Mine...

 

It really seems like you have the worst luck in the world with computers.
