Gtx 960m 2gb vs 4gb. Is the gpu capable of taking advantage of 2gb more of ram, does it make a difference?

Stay away from gaymen laptops. They constantly overheat, throttle to no end, and battery life while gaymen on the go will make you want to kill yourself.

You have been warned.

4Gb is too much, 2Gb is not enough. Will bottleneck on unoptimized gayms such as Dead by Daylight (Had to run on lowest settings and still got cucked on my 690)

you can try that

Thanks dude. I'll go for 4gb then

I can't build a desktop but I want to do some casual gaming, so I need a basic gaymen laptop.

what's a good web rss feed reader to replace google reader. most of the ones i've used, forget the items you've read/unread after a while. so if you return to it, all the items will just be unread.

When I install any linux distro on this the issue never happens

This is my brothers laptop and he says it's hardware but I doubt it.

Anyone experience this issue before? Google is a bitch to determine my exact situation as other fags can't even 'run explorer.exe' so their problem clogs search engines.

sounds like a chipset drivers issue

I'm printing tables using PHP, it's working fine but I want to give each table a heading using the HTML "h2" tag.

How would I do this?
I can't write HTML code within the PHP tags, so would I have to close the PHP tag, create a HTML one, then make a new PHP tag for the next table?

I'm looking for a new router & have found out that I'll need to run my current router in modem mode, due to some shit with my ISP

If I set my current router in modem mode, & ran another router off that, would there be any security/performance issues?

EVGA 450B or EVGA 500W?

I've got a bitlocker encrypted sandisk m.w ssd and I want to format it so I could use it as my boot drive.
diskmgmt doesn't see it/can't initialize it at all on windows and the disk management utility on xubuntu asks me for a password.

I'm pretty sure it's a bitlocker password and not an ATA one or something like that.

How do I format it?

getting a 1080 for christmas. which is the best ?

the 1080ti, coming out in a few months

you're gonna get cucked

I currently have a 760, what's the highest graphics card I can get without getting bottlenecked by my non-overclocked i5-3570k?

ah shit. i guess i'll wait

Nevermind it appears in diskmgmt now. I formatted it and it didn't ask me for any password.

will the 1080ti bottleneck my i5-6600 ?

Will an optiplex 9010 support a rx 480 8gb? I know i have a pci e slot, but not sure if it can support uefi

Yes. You need a titan xp or 2 1080s in SLI

Bleedingscreen

No, it was something very short like 3 or 4 letters long.

DaZ, make sure you are getting it from a safe website.

kms pico

nigger what year is it?

Such as?

kmspico is just Windows + Office loader.

I remember there is one on leddit, the hashes match the official one

Give me some links man

>kmspico is just Windows + Office loader.
your point being?
Daz laoder is just bios string loader that works only on win7 and needs blocking of few updates

I'm assuming he is not a full retard installing any Windows version past 7. And no, you don't need to block any update, my system is cracked and up to date.

will I have any problems compiling the newest version of neovim on an old Powerbook G4 running Mac OS X Tiger?

just the version that runs inside the terminal, not the faggy GUI program

What happens to the files in bad sectors if I clone my hard drive? Do they just become corrupted on the new one?

wut

sectors are not readable during the clone process

I wanna clone my old hard drive to my new one, but it has a few bad sectors which fuck up the cloning process. By cloning with the bad sectors, I'm not fucking up anything on my new drive, other than corrupted files?

Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm a computer retard.

What should I ask for for Christmas, Sup Forums?

longer dick

logitech g pro for 35 dollars
should i?

New graphics card perhaps? If your current one is starting to struggle that is.

Of course not, bad sectors are physically damaged sectors.

Thinking about getting a Samsung UHD TV in the sales tomorrow, a 55" KS7000 specifically. Does anyone have any serious reason why that's a bad choice? Any better suggestions?

my GPU fan starts rattling whenever i play a game. what should i do?

Why you are buying a GTX 750Ti in first place user?

Its outdated, get a GTX 1050Ti.

A 850 EVO, a GTX 1060.
Thats it pretty much.

Well all I really do on my computer is play League and browse Sup Forums. My only real complaint with my computer right now is that it takes forever to load up shit like my porn on my trucrypt drive. What new would I need for that?

replace the fan/card

An SSD I think, although encryption is very CPU intensive.

>gtx1060
must have been a typo, you mean rx480 right?

e.g. inoreader automatically loses items older than 30 days
forum.inoreader.com/index.php?/topic/9978-articles-automatically-mark-as-read/

Both are good, whatever is cheaper is better.

>An SSD I think, although encryption is very CPU intensive
I'd like to get an SSD so I can transfer my OS onto it, and my trucrypt is on my USB 3.0 EHDD.

Check for dust and maybe drop a little sewing machine oil in there if possible.

It's a lot cheaper in my country, like $150 vs $220 and I don't need that much power.

Encryption is not CPU intensive unless you are using a Core 2 Duo.

How much is the GTX 1050 in your country?
Note, 1050 not 1050Ti.

I can't find a single store selling it.

What is your country?

Brazil

How many domain names does twitter have? Are they listed somewhere? They must cost a reasonable sum of money annually. How about Google's registered domain names?

Which is better for Chrome, Adblock or AdblockPlus (or something else)?

uBlock Origin

Well no wonder.

I know its hard to save money to buy expensive stuff in a third world country but you should save for a 1050Ti.

750Ti barely mets minimum requeriments of recent games.

uBlock Origin.

caught me off guard
underrated

waiting for a gpu is literally the shittiest advice. when the 1080 ti finally gets announced, then released, and then to the stores to actually buy it'll first be:

1. fucking hard to get, you'll be in line waiting thank to another paper release
2. fucking expensive while the older models probably get a discount

and at the point you get one there's a new retard telling you to wait for whatever gpu is "around the corner"(read: half a year away) and the cycle continues. just buy whatever the fuck you need/want at a given time and hope you get some kind of a decent deal on it. if there's a real reason to wait e.g. don't see any value in upgrading or need something which the new gpus are able to do and the current one you have doesn't, then by all means wait.

budget? size constraints? answer: read reviews, decide how much you want to spend.

I'm not playing recent games, I'm mostly a emulator guy. The only "modern" games I'm interested is GTA V, Skyrim and mayble The Witcher 3

I have been having blue screens with my desktop, and I am 100% sure that it is a hardware issue because I installed Ubuntu and it also crashed.

What is the best way to track down a specific piece of hardware which has the problem?

I have already tried swapping out the RAM and GPU, and in the history of owning this desktop I have replaced hard drives. So what I believe I am left with is the Mobo, PSU, or dare I say the fucking optical drive.

I also took pics of the Ubuntu error message, here is one of them.

If I have two SSD drives connected, and only use one of them frequently (OS, program files), will the second (storage) still wear just as fast?

The second one wont wear meanwhile its not on use.

The OS one will wear but modern SSDs wont die even if they are on torture tests for 2-4 years.

Ok, because I was planning to buy another smaller 850 evo (have a 1tb on the way) before I decide what to do with it. I'll just put everything on that and use an HDD for storage. Originally I was going to use the 1tb for storage/infrequently used program files, and a smaller one for OS/frequently used program files.

And thanks.

I've got some tables in a local database

Say they look like this

id(PK) gameseries(Foreign Key) gameplatform(Foreign Key) gamename
1 2 (id) 5 (id) Abc

I want to print this data in a PHP and this works

But rather than actually showing the platform or showing the series, it's just displayed as numbers like "1" or "3". How can I get it to properly print the table?

Appreciate any help

Check the PSU voltages under load and monitor the temperatures.

For a bat file, I want it to type a bunch of shit, but never "send" the command? How do I do that?

Steam Machines are 50% off. I have zero interest in playing games, just want something powerful enough for easy video editing. Can they be used as a regular computer?

I have viewed all of that with speedfan and I didnt notice anything crazy. It's possible though, I have never actually taken the PSU out and tested it with a voltage meter.

No problem.
