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>
