MSI one has a DP so you can drive two 4k monitors if you want

OC is pretty minimal on GT 1030 as far as I remember

that one even has a DP btw https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/2GB-MSI-GeForce-GT-1030-2G-LP-OC-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--x4-Retail-_1172836.html

I helped my friend pick one

OC is not all that much faster, with Nvidia you want to focus on a better cooling solution so it automatically turbos higher under load

I found one 1030 with a DP

I'd say MSI although their cards have the highest failure rates

Just for dual 4k

that looks nice

It's such a little lowly chip, it doesn't need a huge cooler

It's so cute

if all you're doing is outputting video to monitors you don't really need an OC

and usually whatever is on it you can do yourself

the OC is actually cheaper than the non-OC

should I go for non-OC anyway because of stability?

Is it more expensive? Their OCs are usually tested at the factory

the evga ones are the highest clocked at 1.29ghz

all the MSI ones are at 1.26ghz

not like that's a huge jump

I have the choice between 1227 and 1265

while the 1265 is cheaper

This is passively cooled with 1hdmi 1dp?

Amazon does not ship to Switzerland

Ah, ok

yes I found some passive cooled ones, too

Strange, they ship to Australia

there's a lot of them, wow

but I don't mind the noise

the CPU cooler already sounds like a starting jet

I think all the difference in GPUs these days is the customer service if you RMA it

there's not been a lot in it for a while

@spaqin are you doing Destroy Dick December?

I'll just go for the cheapest 1030 then

1 fap on day 1, 2 faps on day 2 and up until 30 faps on day 30

@porco yeah just get whatever fits your needs, all the OC shit is for gaymurs anyway

@Julian I've actually considered doing it for a meme

it doesn't matter for you

yeah I 'll go for the OC because it's 3 Eur cheaper

GPU Boost 3.0 makes up the difference

It makes the cards clock dependent on power and cooling limitations

I think someone in my family stole my Convoy S2+

can't find it anywhere

I've got a 1070SC from EVGA and it hits the same clocks under GPUBoost as my friends Strix 1070 OC card

I also ordered 4 x 8 GB DDR3 RAM off ebay for 21 Eur

w-what

Send us, that's way too cheap

^

is Swiss ebay some darknet shit?

probably ecc

brb moving to switzerland

it's ECC

Ram is cheap but cost of living is high to offset it <:iosthink:328535776843268105>

Hm

Yep, it'll work fine probably

that's ricardo.ch - a swiss ebay clone

It's meant for servers but it should work?

I checked the manual before, ECC should work

worst case I wasted 24 CHF (roughly 21 Eur)

Best case you have 32GB ram now

yay 3 chrome tabs

That system would be a great server

Especially to replace my shitty old anemic fucking Atom server

I just hope it lasts me 10+ years as a desktop like my previous one

It's already 5y old

computing performance increase is not that steep anymore anyway

when I got my C2Q it was already 2 years old, too

it was from 2006 and I got it end of 2007

C2Q aged well

so you don't think this one will feel in 2027, like the C2Q feels today?

Well it might, it's definitely dependent on what you do with it

and how much PCs change

Maybe we will have quantum computers by then

would actually be amazing and drive me to spend money on computers again

Like Intel's last flagship CPU was a quad core with 8 threads like yours

Now they're 6cores

Even if quantum computers become available in 2027 they will be an external peripheral rather than a CPU replacement

PCs are set to change fast, hopefully

The C2Q aged so well cause PCs didn't change

What I did on my C2Q: Fedora, IntelliJ (Java, Go), Firefox, Darktable, Krita, VLC, Netflix

that's basically it

You'll be fucking set

who else /outrun/ here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iem75nuzok

My dad still has an i7-870, and he runs three monitors - video editing, porn, lots of piracy, lightroom, etc

kek

Little shitter keeps up even though it's a 2009 CPU

i7 870 is way more powerful than what most people have in their laptops today

Well my C2Q also kept up with my 2016 ThinkPad

As Droidbot said, computers didn't change much

@efaxdi of course but they're not running such a heavy workload

my mum has a fucking core M3 and it is incredibly snappy for Facebook shitposting and general tasks

My mother has a PowerBook G4

😄

PCs havent changed cause they haven't needed to

she didn't fall for the x86 meme yet

good, she hasnt connected to the botnet

:)

me personally I'm waiting for X99 Xeons to drop in price and getting me one of those

the e5-16xx chips have unlocked multiplier and OC quite well

and they're 12 and 10 core chips
