On desktop

x200 runs openttd and emulates fine

2019-05-28 14:08:32 UTC  

That's the raw power equivalenbt of a GT 1030

2019-05-28 14:08:39 UTC  

(I'm not even comparing technologies)

2019-05-28 14:08:44 UTC  

I actually tried running RimWorld on the laptop.

2019-05-28 14:08:48 UTC  

It ran.

2019-05-28 14:08:58 UTC  

And the fan was unhappy.

2019-05-28 14:09:08 UTC  

A GT1030 is around what... 100 USD at most ?

2019-05-28 14:09:14 UTC  

(T530)

Can't hear you over the backlight dying

siemens nx and solidworks usecase

2019-05-28 14:09:57 UTC  

@kontroll I tried overwatch on my Latty and got 720p60 with some drops to like 40, lowest settings

2019-05-28 14:10:08 UTC  

Not bad for a 7w CPU that's passively cooled

2019-05-28 14:10:08 UTC  

Psst, btw, @Tervy... my laptop was €200 and my desktop cost €500. ;)))))))

2019-05-28 14:10:18 UTC  

Yeah well

2019-05-28 14:10:26 UTC  

I'm not saying it's a bad thing in your very specific case

2019-05-28 14:10:32 UTC  

psst my work laptop costed sub 1000 and this homepc... i dont even want to know so far

2019-05-28 14:10:41 UTC  

But most people don't do pro 3D

2019-05-28 14:10:59 UTC  

I also have a pro GPU because I'm using 3DExperience

2019-05-28 14:11:07 UTC  

How long before those laptops thermal throttle though? 😉

2019-05-28 14:11:10 UTC  

indeed most people need something to hide from view, lightweight, what plays netflix when they are not at home smart tv

2019-05-28 14:11:13 UTC  

But it's still shit if I want to do non pro 3D things

2019-05-28 14:11:32 UTC  

it is shit for gaming indeed

2019-05-28 14:11:50 UTC  

it's shit for pro apps too

2019-05-28 14:11:53 UTC  

And *most* people that buy a laptop with a discreet GPU are gonna do that for gayming

2019-05-28 14:11:55 UTC  

@Droidbot Hol up. What CPU is that you got a playable Overwatch on?

2019-05-28 14:12:02 UTC  

And I think we are mainly targetting those

2019-05-28 14:12:03 UTC  

@kontroll m7-6y75

2019-05-28 14:12:24 UTC  

*Still* you could probably have a decent desktop setup for cheaper even with a Quadro/Firepro

2019-05-28 14:12:55 UTC  

Better than my i7-whatever. <:iosthink:328535776843268105>

2019-05-28 14:12:57 UTC  

literally quadro k2200 would go toe to toe with that meme of a GPU and it's like $150

2019-05-28 14:13:01 UTC  

yeah most likely getting cheaper model used elitebook or thinkpad would still be able to do those fixes

2019-05-28 14:13:10 UTC  

and play average joe games

2019-05-28 14:13:15 UTC  

According to the first benchmark I found.

2019-05-28 14:13:21 UTC  

and that's only because SNX wants its meme double precision

2019-05-28 14:13:29 UTC  

most pro apps don't even use it

2019-05-28 14:13:44 UTC  

indeed

2019-05-28 14:13:57 UTC  

but snx is a workload where if you're paying for it, you can afford to buy a top of the line machine
