Re: General discussion chat Not if you go Intel. Depending on your budget, that is. You may end up with an i3 or god forbid a Pentium which is worth no one's time. Go for an AMD FX if your budget is sub $150. Anything above $150, Intel will do you good, a lower end i5 or something like that (but an FX-8350 will kick an i5's ass for less). It's your call, if BeamNG is a big part of your life, splurge on your CPU and get a Core i7.
Re: General discussion chat Returning the 270 to get a 750 Ti wont solve any bottleneck. You seem to have a knack for ignoring peoples posts.
Re: General discussion chat I thought maybe a 750 ti might run better with my cpu since it is not as powerful Wait saw this he's using a q9300
Re: General discussion chat Do you understand? Your PC is old and a new GPU might be bottlenecked. Read and then ask. A 750 Ti or 270 probably will. You're getting a worse GPU if you get the 750. A 270 is worth a shot, even though you should be able to figure that out if you're a human being, made of matter living on this Earth. That's coming from me of all people. Upgrade your whole system. :/
Re: General discussion chat I don't know. Probably not. But Jesus, why do I have to say this? Maybe because I just have a thing where if I burn you, you suck.
Re: General discussion chat Im trying to spend the least amount of money possible to play bf4 and other games at a good frame rate. Because i have a GT 430.. So,yeah.. I really dont want to get a new cpu unless i need to
Re: General discussion chat If a high end GPU bottlenecks on a low end CPU, going to a lower model GPU will not help the issue, it will not increase your framerate by going to a lower end card because the high end one bottlenecks.
Re: General discussion chat So I got a GoPro HERO 3 White, a Logitech G27, some sweat shirts, and $40 in Steam Gift cards for Christmas. I'm really excited to try out the G27 and mess around with the GoPro
Re: General discussion chat Everyone getting damn xbox ones. I'm still here on 360. Everyone I play with is upgrading and leaving me behind. :| I guess I'll talk about what I got. I got a bunch of clothes this year, including a roadkill and rcr t-shirt, which is pretty cool. I got a toshiba Satellite laptop. Everything about it, especially the build quality, is mindblowingly shitty. The top half of the thing is no stiffer than the cover of a plastic binder. Will be returning that to get a full refund of 450 bucks, which is waaaay more than this piece of shit is worth. I'll take that 450 and look at buying some old laptop that's not as shitty. I also got an Office chair. It isn't the kind that I want, so I'll be returning that as well and buying on that I do want. Nothing else worth noting. Note: Even though I'm badmouthing my gifts, I'm not an ungrateful little cunt like furryfag. My parents tried, but they just don't really have much knowledge to go by lol. I was pretty vague asking for my gifts, too, so that didn't help.
Re: General discussion chat well, i got my mininova for christmas (which i got 2 weeks ago). But i now also have a windows tablet that my uncle has given me. It is a linx 10 meaning that it is running an atom etc etc. But it is actually quite snappy and can handle kerbal space program. So all in all i would have to agree that modern day atoms are actually quite good, Intel could probably do with re branding them since atom is synonomous with crap thanks to the older devices. But i gotta say that the windows on screen keyboard is utter trash. I need to do some research into how to fix that. I also cant right clock to spell check, so this post may be a bit dodgy at times.
Re: General discussion chat I always make sure that my parents know exactly what i would like, so while i always know what i am going to get i also always know that it will be somewhat decent.
Re: General discussion chat I've been fucking around with my gpu's drivers for 4 hours now. All started when geforce experience decided to inform me of a new driver and I decided to install it. That driver caused my computer to bluescreen. After restarting, geforce experience told me again that there's a new driver available, which I installed. Computer kept freezing, so I uninstalled the driver and installed an older one. It's still not working, it keeps freezing and stops responding. I used Display Driver Uninstaller at one point and lowered the (stock) clock on the gpu. Thanks Nvidia, has anybody any idea how do I get it working?
Re: General discussion chat Yeah, one of the atom tablets I've used recently (besides my little sisters hudl 2's which although are android tablets are atom chips) was the lynx 7. Little unknown chinese company making them apparently, build quality on the 7 felt pretty good and its only about £80 shipped. Having used the 7 I have confirmed I won't ever be owning a 7" windows tablet, an 8" may only be slightly larger but feels much more usable (used quite a few 10's aswell and they were just fine). The bay trail core (last I checked current gen atom) is also being used with the HD4000 series GPUs and full blown laptop ram in some of the modern celeron branded parts too. I almost wonder if they should instead roll the atom brand under celeron. Celeron isnt known for being great, but it was perfectly usable, modern atom is also perfectly usable, modern atom has the stigma of old atom which was perfectly usable for nothing but a paperweight and the chip itself wasnt even very good at that. Or a total ground up rebranding perhaps. I may pick up an atom based windows tablet in the january sales. 8" probably. I wear baggy combats as often as possible and an 8" can still be pocketed, or fits in my coat inside pocket. 10" would need to go into a bag and I already have a laptop in there, why have a 10" windows tablet and a 14" windows laptop at the same time? One could say ditch the laptop, I can't do that, need the full keyboard for uni work, once I start lugging around a keyboard for the tablet, I might aswell lug around the laptop. Both the 4 and 6 year old sisters got a Tesco Hudl 2 tablet each for christmas. Thanks to offers, clubcard vouchers and the like we managed to get both tablets, cases, styluses and earbuds for a whopping £65 (standard price for a single Hudl 2 is £129 I think?). The 4 year old needs the odd little bit of help operating it but it seems you can be fairly hands off, she's quite content with just the camera, drawing apps and films. 6 year old loves it, gotten to grips with it already and people say android is hard to use? To me if I have a 4 year old, 6 year old and a grandfather in his 70's all capable of using android, it says alot about the brain capacity of those who say its difficult, even my mum (who is not bright, and I'm not just saying that) can work the bloody things. The built in child safety mode works really really well too, harnesses the existing android multiple user system (which avoids the bugfest known as the Kindle Fire child mode, hideously unreliable and I've seen 3 families RMA'ing them because child mode has bricked the device entirely) and yet seems to be very capable in locking the kiddies out of stuff. Only things I am not happy about. Child accounts can get into some of the device settings, not all of them thankfully but enough that at some point I know I will be undoing their changes. There are a few built in apps that cant be hidden from child accounts, yet you try to access them in the child account and it simply comes up saying you dont have permission, well why dont you just let me lock that app entirely? The web filters only apply to certain (but not all) ad domains in apps and the built in Hudl web browser (which isnt bad actually, not great but serviceable) rather than all network related apps on the device, on a child account I could access pornography from google chrome for example - my approach has simply been to lock the browser entirely on the 4 year olds tablet and leave the 6 year old with the Hudl browser. Outside of child mode its just 2 things. USB connectivity options are limited to PTP and MTP, in my experience MSC mode is incredibly useful and PTP is fucking useless 99.99% of the time, this seems common on alot of newer devices but quite a few offer MTP and MSC which is a far more useful combo, heard of one offering all 3, most hosts accept MTP at least (its just I have made use of the better support for MSC on old PCs and on obscure things such as my CCTV system). USB connectivity settings can only be accessed with the USB cable plugged in or under the developer settings (which I havent specifically opened on those tablets), thats just a minor niggle. More major one though. Poor grounding for capacitive touch it seems, if you place the tablet on a surface and then only touch the tablet via the screen with 1 finger, it is really really undersensitive, as soon as another part of your body touches the body of the tablet then it is just fine again. All in all though. Pretty solid tablets. USB host worked on them, HDMI output, microSD, about 9gb of usable storage left on them, screen is nice, I had it working with 8 finger touch before having problems actually placing 9 fingers on the screen at once, build quality is solid and most of all its damn snappy on that atom chip. Atom might be low end for windows, but on the mobile front it does still put up a good fight against its ARM rivals.
Re: General discussion chat I love my new truck. Don't worry about the Corolla of Doom, it's sticking around.
Re: General discussion chat So Windows Phone 8.1 finally pushed to my phone. It was previously 'unsupported' on my device, now it's supported. The usability of my phone just increased tenfold.
