>the gpu runs so hot pajeet can't even hold onto it when showing it to linus

2016-06-08 18:40:37 UTC  

that gpu is super tough; you can throw it across the room, it will still work

2016-06-08 18:41:01 UTC  

during the 970 3.5gb scandal AMD did that stupid "IT HAS 4GB FOR REAL" campaign and for some reason I managed to get a new r9 290 tri-x from a fireworks shop

2016-06-08 18:41:13 UTC  

(because it's so hot it'll explode into fireworks lmao) for £200

2016-06-08 18:41:21 UTC  

the nearest 970 was £270

2016-06-08 18:41:28 UTC  

thanks amd

2016-06-08 18:41:47 UTC  

I got my R9 290X for £158 lmao

2016-06-08 18:41:53 UTC  

lol i bought a 960 for $250 canadabux before out dollar went to shit

2016-06-08 18:41:57 UTC  

i got bamboozled

2016-06-08 18:42:01 UTC  

where'd you get it for £158?

2016-06-08 18:42:53 UTC  

A longer story, but a friend bought it, turned out to be defective.
She didn't want to deal with RMA, so I suggested I'd buy it for that price, because I thought I could fix it.
It turned out that I could fix it. I should just flash a BIOS from another card.

2016-06-08 18:43:12 UTC  

did you notice a big change with crimson?

2016-06-08 18:43:26 UTC  

I had buyers regret until they started using those drivers

2016-06-08 18:43:31 UTC  

fixed a ton of issues for me

2016-06-08 18:43:32 UTC  

Not really, no.
Nicer interface, but nothing big in terms of performance.

2016-06-08 18:43:48 UTC  

weird, witcher 3 jumped from shitty fps to buttery smooth for me

2016-06-08 18:44:06 UTC  

I haven't tried Witcher 3 tbh

2016-06-08 18:44:11 UTC  

I know I should

2016-06-08 18:44:23 UTC  

I'm not a fan of that type of game tbh

2016-06-08 18:44:38 UTC  

or anything medieval for that matter

2016-06-08 18:44:46 UTC  

like i hated got and skyrim

2016-06-08 18:45:29 UTC  

I know people say Witcher 3 is just "follow the red footsteps then fight a thing" missions but I really loved the writing and performances

2016-06-08 18:45:38 UTC  

plus I was stranded with no internet for a few weeks in Ireland

2016-06-08 18:45:40 UTC  

so I read all the books

2016-06-08 18:45:48 UTC  

made it punch in the gut emotional for me at least

2016-06-08 18:46:23 UTC  

I should get my shit together and just play it

2016-06-08 18:46:35 UTC  

it doesn't "get good" until red baron

2016-06-08 18:46:41 UTC  

after that it stays consistent

2016-06-08 18:46:59 UTC  

I recommend reading a synopsis of the books or the books themselves though

2016-06-08 18:47:06 UTC  

witcher 3 is the only one that refers back to that shit heavily

2016-06-08 18:47:13 UTC  

and don't go into what happened at all

2016-06-08 18:47:42 UTC  

are there any chink mini pci wireless cards?

2016-06-08 18:47:45 UTC  

like super cheap

2016-06-08 18:48:05 UTC  

i got a free laptop and the wifi is dead but I'll never use it, just bothers me that it doesn't work

2016-06-08 18:49:09 UTC  

I know that you can get a $10 Intel wireless card from Amazon

2016-06-08 18:49:20 UTC  

I'd rather buy that, than a chinky one

2016-06-08 18:50:12 UTC  

I use a TL-4800, worked well

2016-06-08 18:50:38 UTC  

why can't you use ethernet?

2016-06-08 18:51:00 UTC  

i mean i could

2016-06-08 18:51:59 UTC  

I moved back to ethernet because of SFV, the packet loss and lag was too much on wifi

2016-06-08 18:52:13 UTC  

worked ok for browsing n torrentan tho
