which later ones make/made(havent checked fix for it due not my problem) certain operating systems and situations broken

so gpu sitting idling and still using power vs no power to gpu == its obviously does more harm than good in our scenario where there is no use for it in "daily browsing computer"

you nvidia fanboys can argue as much as you want but optimus is(was?) broken/useless for most average users

it sounded cool in marketing speeches tho

and it somehow works if you computer has good base hardware (cpu and gpu side) where the difference is actualy larger

but average joes dont have have those computers nor setup their own parameters for gpu access

also here is the source for that whitepaper https://www.nvidia.com/object/LO_optimus_whitepapers.html

even tho it states that it >completly shuts them but several laptops have been proven just cutting the control cord

not power

there is reason why nvidia stopped shipping stuff with it after 8 series

its so large hit/miss ratio there that it aint even fun

and afaik to current date there is no way to force GPU to everything (including windows desktop idling) to prevent screen tearing on high end displays

Fuck

My Shipment still hasn't gotten here

God damnit

5PM is the cutoff date

So damnit

Be patient Padawan

I pay for epacket and they still haven't fucking dispatched it a week later.

unpay

How?

will the note 5 get android penis?

probably, updating android is way simpler now with oreo

it's not until it's made treble compatible

which afaik it isn't yet

optmius also causes problems with VR

optmius laptop = no vr if there's no display output port that is connected directly to the gpu

@Goz3rr it has treble but not full

full treble is being able to update in the background

so its no big deal

Just a urgent WhatsApp from my Shipping service to tell me they ran over my Shipment (Marked FRAGILE in Chinese) with a Forklift

I'd say I'm sorry

But I can't

lmao

atleast they notified you

do you know what was it?

So when is z5 announcement

whats that meme fan

you gonna buy it?

maybe
