all you're making me do is some arithmetic

I'm offended. Don't call me nigga, call me jigaboo instead.

@gauravtee It was a mere hint for those who don't have a superpower-by-2020 superintellect.

so you're 47 years old??????????

@gauravtee Yeah, as of late last year.

i'm in disbelief

@Deadly_Ramon No I have not worked with a Pentium overdrive chip.

I have messed around with pentium 2s and 4s

@Deleted User The Pentium Overdrive predates those. It was an upgrade for motherboards with 486 and first generation Pentium sockets, though the benefit was reduced for 486 computers because of their lower data bus sizes.

GG @Deadly_Ramon, you just advanced to level 3! View the leaderboard by typing !levels in any channel.

Huh that's pretty interesting

What I do find interesting about them is that they have a cooler built in

When you say you're into old computer hardware, and I see you linking to specs with 4 digit i7 and i5 sockets, then I gather that you're significantly younger to consider chips from earlier this decade old <:haha:550081069744128000>

My first i7 chip was the 970, running at 3.20 GHz. I bought it in 2011.

I haven't really looked into older hardware as in like stuff before 2000 but above I know a good portion. The only reason why is because computers now are smaller and are faster to those dated then

Nice cpu

I love the lga 1367 socket

And 1366

They still hold up amazingly in multicore

Now I'm running an i7 7700 at 3.60 GHz.

Single core less so

Ah cool!

I am running a ryzen 7 1700x

I don't pretend to keep up with cutting edge, but a generation or two behind fits my budget.

Although I did cave in back in 2013 and buy a $1000 Geforce GTX Titan card.

Probably similar to a gtx 1050 now lel

I saw the 6 gigabytes of VRAM on it and lost my mind.

The 6 gigabyte model of the GTX 1060 is superior. The 1050 I think goes only up to 3 gigabytes.

Still, it has newer architecture.

True

The 20xx models with the new Turing architecture are amazing.

Fuck raytracing tho it's such a gimmick

But for those who can't afford discrete graphics cards, the graphics built-in with modern CPUs are more than sufficient to run at more modest settings.

And I see you mentioning such capabilities often in this thread.

No use for it as of now and performance will always be degradated on these cards. Ray tracing will for now be used only good in 720p and 1080p scenarios even know the cards can handle 1440p and 4k fine

But yeah AMD's new APUs are pretty decent

Intel is always improving the HD graphics on its CPUs, too.

But are still ass compared to AMD's integrated speeds

Like you are getting gt 1030 speeds on these integrated gpus

While intel is stuck before then
