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
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
I heard that Battlefield 5 uses ray tracing.
But only in small places
And that it's noticeable even to a casual gamer.
I've not yet used an AMD CPU or GPU. I did have an ATI 2d card on my Pentium 120 MHz machine back in 1996.
