It's possible but I will have to see it to believe it, especially with stability tests.

i mean if you're really interested i can go full out with the info

but you probably dont have a use for it

it's a severely underpowered card

oye looking at the bios i installed i overshot the max freq

runs 1450mhz max

@Wayne

forgot i had that

observe that the memory is only +180 from stock

google chrome is taking up 60% of my GPU wtf

I'm guessing it's because of the change in youtube compression algorithm, since the video I'm watching is from 2012

wtf use is a chromebook m8

get a surface pro and a nice desktop 👌🏿

why would you spend more money on something you don't need?

a chromebook usually comes with a 720p screen, up to a 1080p screen, and the pixel density is pretty great usually, since they're only 13 to 15 inches

they have nice dual cores, 4-6 gigs of RAM, and a varying amount of storage

🤦🏿

a surface is 12"

a surface pro is nice and all, but it's more money for performance that they're not going to notice while typing up an essay

the size wasn't my point

and is an actual computer

chromebooks are computers as well you fucking dolt

and has a screen that is actually good

chromebooks are an actual computer if all you do is watch youtube and take notes <:GWragTbhfam:390321741525942272>

but then why do you need a desktop

dude'

you're an idiot

explain to me why you need a desktop <:brainlet:404155381359706132>

the point is that you take a laptop to class, take your notes, maybe bring it to your bed and watch netflix, if you like playing games, play games on your desktop, use the laptop for classes

you're playing stupid on purpose

and it's a sad attempt

yes im the brainlet that wants people to waste money on a netflix machine

instead of a full blown laptop replacement with a desktop os <:brainlet:404155381359706132>

one that can stream your desktop pc + consoles

so....you want them to buy a gaming desktop, and a gaming laptop? Doesn't that seem a bit redundant?

uh they both have different uses

one is mobile one is a desktop

surely this isnt the first time youve heard of people having both

youve never wanted to play games outside your desk?

with a chromebook, you have much longer battery life, it's much smaller, much lighter, and much cheaper, at about 250 bucks for a good one

i have a chromebook and a surface pro

chromebook is worthless

nice opinion, I love mine

maybe you should've bought a better one, kiddo

do you have a nice pc laptop or surface to compare it to?

I don't need to

it fits my needs

what chromebook lets me run adobe suite and pc games

none

because that's not what it's made for

we aren't talking about your use case though

so your use is the only use then

we're talking about this girl who's in college or whatever

and im a retard for not having ***your*** use in mind

THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION SPROUTED FROM A GIRL WHO'S GOING TO COLLEGE

it's not my use case I'm worried about

look

just admit you were wrong

in the average college workload, 90% of students don't need their laptop to do complex computational work on the go

this is what we are talking about

you're playing stupid

i wouldnt even call adobe complex computational work

it's processor intensive

i used to bring my laptop to class because i preferred using windows to the shitty macs in class

okay?

what is her study tho?

no idea

i mean she could be taking design classes like i was and would benefit from having a windows laptop

either way you can find a refurb surface for only a few hudred more than a chromebook

around 500~

something fucky is going on with my GPU

I think it's directly related to Precision XOC

whenever it's open, or in my background tasks, my desktop is a slideshow

whenever I try to play a game, it's a slideshow.

uninstalled XOC, gonna restart, we'll see what happens after that

precision x is garbage

i uninstalled it because it would fuck up video playback for me

get afterburner even tho you cant change evga lights on it

Yo @Polygon it isn't worth wasting your time with that guy. He's a fucking brainlet that lives in his own little fallacy.

u rite

It seems like it's still doing it, intermittently.

ah wait, it's good now

we'll see

The only thing he said right is that Afterburner>Precision X. I've used Afterburner for like 2 years, then went to precision X for 2 years. I use afterburner again now and it's set up waayyy better.

I legitimately believe that it's due to the change in compression algorithm

The video thing? I don't think they changed the codec, and the algorithm really wouldn't do much with that lol. Even RAW video and highly compressed mkv/mp4 from my experience doesn't cause noticeable stress on GPU.

Maybe just

Trash GPU

the 980 works well, it just recently started doing this last night

You are getting 60% usage from chrome on your 980? @Polygon

I thought you meant your laptop.

no, my desktop 980 is doing this

it's really strange

I checked the drivers, it's all good

2 welfare recipients reaffirming each others poor financial decisions <:PepeChill:378748692741750794>

Welfare recipients? Good one.

Although I don't think a GTX 1070 and Acer XB271HU makes me a welfare recipient, more like the 95th percentile xd

makes no sense, we're trying to fix a problem

I'm also not sure how a welfare recipient could own his own business at 18

Lol

it takes a truly big brain to pair a video card that cant run anything at 1440p past 80fps with a 144hz monitor <:PepeChill:378748692741750794>

>owning an "Acer"

get out now

>owns his own business
>uses chromebook and pleb tier vidya card from 2015

<:PepeChill:378748692741750794>

>buying computers at walmart
get out now

so I'm the financially irresponsible one, but you're out here buying new GPUs to be fashionable.

your bait is low tier

>buying a GPU during the reign of the eternal mining virgin

I bought mine right as it all started :^)

okay so XOC won't save my memory clock, I think this is it, I think I'm officially done with it

okay afterburner looks so much better @Wayne

and it still doesn't do it in afterburner

what the fuck

I think my driver might've gotten fucked

Why are you even overclocking memory? @Polygon

are you mining

Also virgin mad dog and don't ping me, don't even know what they're talking about. The only existent monitors specced like mine were the Acer and Asus models, so there wasn't any other option and the Asus had worse quality control.

So they criticize something they are completely ignorant to.

Also Acer makes the best panels, BenQ doesn't even make a 1440p 165Hz Gsync IPS panel...

Nor does Samsung

He's literally implying there's a better company for monitors than Acer...

Gaming monitors at the least, considering dev monitors and other options are available, but Acer for the last 2.5 years had the best gaming monitors. Before Asus came out with an almost equivalent panel, there was nothing like mine lol.

I could've gotten a TN non-Gsync panel but that would be cancerous

I mine on this PC while I'm away, but my other computers do that for me

there's a bigger issue than that though

google legitimately is using 60% of my GPU process

Also the 1070 breezes past 80fps on plenty of the games I play, I don't play the new COD or battlefield because I'm not a loser like these guys. Also I've already explained to both of these retards that I had the GPU before getting the monitor... I don't intend on keeping the 1070 forever, but I also don't want to waste money right away on something that isn't gonna suit my needs long term, like I'm hoping that the 2080Ti will. Guess what, I have money, that I worked for, and I'd rather not spend money that I didn't get from mommy like you cucks, on something that I don't need right away. That's called patience, and a mature choice rather than having a hole burn in my pocket to impress 2 worthless retards on a politics server.

@Polygon so why are you overclocking memory?

bro calm down a little, you don't need to justify yourself to them

don't call mad dog a virgin tho :(

he obviously gets puss

IT FIXED ITSELF

I'm overclocking memory because that helps improve frametime when using shaders or antialiasing

which I use a lot of

because 1080p

I just sorta turned off the computer, let it sit while I went out to the garage to see if I had a nozzle for my air compressor to clean said PC out

Mad Dogg is a virgin

ur mom gay

You know what improves frametime?

Gsync 😉

you're right

but I'm selling this system most likely

I'll have a laptop or something when I'm stationed somewhere, but it doesn't make sense to hold onto a computer that's going to depreciate in value greatly, while I'm away at basic and AIT, that's gonna be something like 7 months, by that time, the volta architecture will have been released most likely, and I'll just build a new desktop, and make a new project

I really hope they start making smaller dual processor motherboards, that sounds dumb, but if there were a such thing as an mATX 2011-3 board, I would hop on that shit right away.

Aren't there already dual-2011-v3 haswell-e supporting mobos?

I think I've heard of dual 5820k's

I think you can with a BIOS mod, but I don't think those processors are meant to have multiple QPI links

but uh, I guess I'm gonna be backing up my files and reinstalling windows :/

y

I can't fix my problem

so I'm gonna reinstall and see if that fixes it

I have like a 500 GB of shit that isn't baked up

mostly memes

you know how fucked I'd be if I lost all these memes????

bad

holy shit

and this isn't even all of it

copying to flash drive?

or hwot

3tb seagate backup drive

I have 2x 3tb Seagate drives in RAID 0

nice nice

I have that on my other PC for backups but I disabled backups on this PC, because well, I'm dumb

relatable

wait

what's a backup

I meant that I have a few drives in RAID 10

four WD blue 1TB drives, 2TB effective, but 2 times redundancy

and twice the speed, ofc

so now it's gonna take 2 hours, not a day

I know how raid 10 works

My raid 0 living on the edge lifestyle

No redundancy oml

Like less than 50% as safe as one drive lol

And I've already had them for over 2.5 years

I think I'm gonna invest in RAID5 drives

b e t

one of these days, tryna make my own case that can do EVERYTHING I want

You do know how raid 5 works right?

like, my 450D is a great case, but in my ideal computer, I'd have more room behind the motherboard, and I'd also want there to be a hotswap SSDs, which I would have in some sort of RAID, but I'd like a much better case for my HDD storage, since I only have 2TB in my server rn, I'd like to expand to about 10TB or more.

Yeah I know how RAID 5 works

it's faster than RAID 1, but more redundant than both RAID 0 and 1

And only 3 drives hell yeet

@Wayne are cheaper Acer monitors any good

i have had bad experiences with acer laptops

Depends on what specs you want, like higher than 60Hz frequency, IPS panel etc. If you only want a 60hz 1080p IPS panel, acer has pretty good quality control for their lower end, dirt cheap IPS standard monitors

otherwise, I would be pretty loose between asus and their VG248 and other brands like samsung

BenQ is pretty popular, but from most people that have upgraded from them and have experience and understanding of quality for a monitor (unlike Mad Dogg and Don't ping me), they talk bad about the quality of BenQ's but that isn't from my own experience/spec so I can't say anything in favor of them.

But yeah, Acer is pretty well-rounded for that sort of thing.

@Polygon ill do that

is building a desktop hard lol

i have a lenovo y520 and its pretty shit

laptops seem to really slow down after about 9 months to a year, at least that's my experience

yes, even the chromebooks.

well, I guess it really depends on the TDP, my first chromebook worked well for me for about a year, but the one I'm using right now has lasted about a year and a half

@GirlBeGood so what is your use case? You just doing notes and light stuff like that?

eh

light gaming

league of legends, csgo

that kind

@Polygon

im going to college next year

so ill buy a chromebook once for each year

looking online each are about $200

yeah they're p good for the price

im trying to go into geosciences and idk if i need to run models in class

honestly just get any chromebook, then get a quadcore with a GTX 1050 Ti or 1060

are those good

i know nothing about computers

well some

my friend brags about his gtx 1080

lolllll I'm not sure you want to be building a PC then

so im guessing a 1060 is decent

can that friend build computers?

idk ill ask

1060 is pretty great for most use cases

loll

that fucker

i have to pay him $100 but yeah

I charge like 50 what the fuck does this guy think he is, a guru?

haha

if you don't do shit for your friends, what kinda friend are you

im not super close to him

honestly $100 for a normal person is crazy

like we're chill and play basketball together sometimes

but we arent homiesexual

I wouldn't pay that, unless they were doing likeeee, hardline watercooling shit

we dont suck each others dicks ya know???

why not :(

Lul

best part of every friendship

is watercooling good

it can be

sounds like some industrial shit

pretty expensive

Shit

I have a budget of liike $800

in total?

ill take the non watercooling

i have a desk keyboard and mouse already

so what are the parts i need

some C4, a detonator and some cinderblocks

nice

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/T29m8Y

this is what I think you need, for what you do, it'll hold up in CS:GO, and any other games you decide to play, as long as it's not crysis 3 at max settings :^)

honestly rooting for 100T to take the win in NALCS

yeah acer laptops do not survive my typing

after about 6 months the keys start popping off randomly
