8:00 PM

I'm absolutely positive I've overpaid for plenty of stuff due to that.

Sterno

@StrixVaria I'm pretty sure I did the math the very first time I bought from them, but after that was like "Meh"

I guess it's time for me to start researching video cards

Powerlord

I don't build my own PCs any more for similar reasons.

Wipqozn

So, at work, the sales department today said we should look into setting up the site so users that use adblocker can't view the site. Quite a few folks chimed in saying why this was a bad idea, but sales still seems to want to do it... annnnnndddd we just got a ticket in from acustomer complaining about the site crashing all the time, with a link to a comment section on our site all complaining about the same thing, and pointing out that if they use adblock all the issues go away

two bugs

I find the research part the most frustrating and time consuming, especially if there is a new hardware line coming out

Wipqozn

It's such perfect timing

StrixVaria

8:01 PM

@twobugs This is also a step that I would prefer to avoid.

Sterno

Yeah. I don't keep up on PC hardware.

Powerlord

I guess that's one advantage of working for government... we don't have customers so much as users.

two bugs

So many people take ATI vs NVIDIA as some blood feud and try to spread misinformation

Sterno

Mostly now I just go to that site, pick a pre-configured option, tweak it ("I want 16GB RAM instead of 8GB, and a slightly better video card!") and click the buy button

Wipqozn

We told them that folks probably use adblock since the ads are breaking the site, and here comes along an email saying exactly that

Powerlord

8:02 PM

@twobugs Well, unless things changed in the past few years, nVidia still has the performance crown.

StrixVaria

I want to stick with NVIDIA solely because I'm familiar with their software for configuring things.

Sterno

About the only thing I research anymore is video cards

NEVER GETTING DUAL CARDS AGAIN

Powerlord

I wonder how well nVidia ShadowPlay works for streaming stuff to Twitch

two bugs

@Powerlord They typically do, and I suspect it's the same here, but in 2015 they got in pretty big trouble for some card having significantly less memory than advertised

Powerlord

still has nVidia GTX 570s, and ShadowPlay was new with the 600s

Dragonrage

8:03 PM

@StrixVaria would it be valid to split that question two different questions? both questions he asked would have fairly lengthy answers

two bugs

I've heard shadowplay works great, anecdotally

Dragonrage

or could

Powerlord

@twobugs nVidia doesn't make their own cards.

Sterno

Intel X99 vs Intel Z170 = @Sterno says WTF

StrixVaria

@Dragonrage It might support 2 questions, but they're so thematically similar that I don't really see an issue with it as 1 either.

two bugs

8:04 PM

@Powerlord Fair point, I'm trying to remember specifics but I think this had something to do with the chipset?

It could only address like... 75% of the advertised memory maybe?

Powerlord

@twobugs That would be a problem, yes.

Sterno

Pretty sure I don't need 32GB of RAM

two bugs

It was some really weird problem that they (nvidia) did a very poor job addressing. They also had some bad performance on DX12 or whatever number we're on now benchmarks

Tim Stone

@Sterno Sure you do, it's great.

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno yeah you definitely need 64 GB

two bugs

8:05 PM

I think they tried to like... bully a company or something? I don't know. There's so much... "embellishment" on the internet it's hard to tell what really happened

Mad Scientist

@twobugs The GTX970 has 3.5GB of fast RAM, and then 0.5GB of slow RAM. That was pretty deceptive, but it's still a good GPU even after that

GodEmperorDune

@MadScientist why does it have any slow ram at all?

Mad Scientist

@GodEmperorDune The RAM isn't slower, but it can't address all 4 GB at once and the switching part makes it slow

GodEmperorDune

@MadScientist so it's using 32 bit addresses or something?

Dragonrage

well i tried to edit it, but apparently someone submitted an edit while i was attempting to edit it :(

djsmiley2k

8:11 PM

lol it's running xp

Mad Scientist

No, it has only 7 out of 8 units active for cost reasons (the GTX980 has everything active), and each of those addresses a part of the RAM. The RAM usually addressed by the inactive unit now needs to be addresses indirectly, which is much slower

djsmiley2k

they are charlieplexing the ram o_O

SaintWacko

One of the things I'm looking forward to with my GTX 970 Strix is Shadowplay

I like the idea of being able to retroactively record

GodEmperorDune

so that's what shadowplay is!

Sterno

Man, I'd better get a 4k monitor too

GodEmperorDune

8:18 PM

i've heard it hyped but didn't know what it was

Yuuki

@Sterno Soo... basically Darkest Dungeon with aliens?

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki there is no derailing the xcom2 hype train

Yuuki

Not trying to derail, trying to get a sense of the difficulty curve.

James

Hmmm

I guess Darkest Dungeon is a TBS

I guess so are most turn based dungeon crawlers

But XCom is a 2.5D perspective move around the board and do your moves tactics kind of game

Ampt

@GodEmperorDune It has one fewer memory controller

Powerlord

8:22 PM

@GodEmperorDune You can also stream directly to Twitch using ShadowPlay. I wonder how much Twitch paid them for that.

SaintWacko

@twobugs I seriously considered getting an R9 390 instead of a GTX 970, but I use Linux alongside Windows, and apparently AMD still doesn't play nice with Ubuntu

Ampt

@Powerlord less than they would have lost out on by people buying AMD cards!

Powerlord

@Ampt Why? At the time this was introduced, AMD had nothing like it. I'm not sure if they do even now.

Yuuki

@James Well, I was thinking less gameplay mechanics and more gameplay philosophy.

Powerlord

As for the "record something after it happened" bit, Windows 10 directly supports that regardless of the card brand.

Mad Scientist

8:24 PM

@SaintWacko I bought an 970 even after the whole thing was revealed simply because an AMD card would have required a new power supply for me

Ampt

@Powerlord I'm sure they do - the PS4 supports streaming to twitch, and that's an AMD GPU

Yuuki

Moving away from "no one gets left behind" to "sacrificial lambs".

SaintWacko

@MadScientist I got a really great deal on a 850W power supply, so I shouldn't have to worry about that for a while

Powerlord

@Ampt You're implying that AMD wrote that and not Sony...

SaintWacko

Did you see the build I posted earlier?

Yuuki

8:24 PM

The kind of Russian "we have reserves" strategy.

Mad Scientist

I have a 430W power supply

Ampt

@Powerlord Could have been both together?

@SaintWacko Running 2x 780Ti's, a waterpump, and an overclocked intel on 850W. I don't think I'll ever need to upgrade.

SaintWacko

@Ampt Haha, yeah

Ampt

Stuff is just getting so much more efficient that I think we've peaked on the power consumption scale and are actually moving back down it.

SaintWacko

@Ampt Here's what I'm building now.

Ampt

8:28 PM

@SaintWacko Very nice. 970 is a beast card

Mad Scientist

@SaintWacko I'd go for 16GB RAM

SaintWacko

@Ampt I'm looking forward to it. Especially considering that it'll be replacing my Sager NP8180 with a 560M

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko you got @strix to be your video card?

SaintWacko

@MadScientist I'll be picking up more in the future

I wanted to put the money toward things that are harder to upgrade

@GodEmperorDune I did. It was quite difficult

Mad Scientist

The PSU is overkill, depending on what you can get I'd maybe look for a slightly smaller but more efficient one.

Ampt

8:30 PM

@MadScientist Agreed - get a better brand too

SaintWacko

@MadScientist Yeah, it definitely is, but I got a great price on it

Plus, I was having trouble finding out how small of one I could get

Ampt

I tend to not skimp on PSU's - they provide clean power to all of your stuff, helping it last longer. A better made 650 will beat out an 850 all day.

Mad Scientist

I'm not sure about the SSD, but in general I'd recommend a Samsung EVo 850 or a Crucial BX100 (if you can still get one, the successor is crap).

SaintWacko

@MadScientist That's another thing I'm getting really cheap right now, will probably upgrade to a really nice one in the future

Mad Scientist

Kingston had some really terrible cheap SSDs if I remember correctly

SaintWacko

8:31 PM

@MadScientist This one actually has really good reviews

MadMAxJr

I'm using the WRONG answer. A seagate desktop hybrid harddrive.

Mad Scientist

@SaintWacko The nice ones are only ~75 EUR for 250GB

SaintWacko

Or it did, until the most recent revision

Ampt

@MadScientist Eh, most of them are OK. It's really just a fast USB drive, and we've had those forever.

@MadMAxJr ugh, I am SO sorry to hear that.

SaintWacko

This one is the older revision

Sterno

8:32 PM

Can't decide if I should get a PCI-E SSD

Ampt

Kingston makes good stuff too

Sterno

for the lulz

Ampt

@Sterno get an M.2

MadMAxJr

I had $40 off on it at the time. It runs okay, but i'm told when these drives die, they die in spectacular manners.

Ampt

they are WICKED fast

SaintWacko

8:32 PM

@MadScientist Same with the RAM, I'd rather put that extra $45 towards a faster processor/better gpu for now

Ampt

PCI + SATA all in one connector

nukeforum

Finally, a new League of Legends question

Sterno

Well, PCI-E is faster, right? Just insanely more expensive

Ampt

@Sterno Nope. M.2 has PCI-E lanes built in (up to 4x I believe)

so I mean, yes, if you get a x8 or x16 PCI-E SSD... but I don't think those exist

the trick is to make sure that the M.2 drive you get is actually using those lanes

SaintWacko

Also, I haven't actually purchased the SSDs yet, so we'll see

MadMAxJr

8:34 PM

Do things other than sound cards use those tiny PCI-E x1 slots?

Ampt

@MadMAxJr LAN cards sometimes

Tim Stone

@Ampt Surprise!

MadMAxJr

Can't think of the last time I had a card for network.

Ampt

> The M.2 form factor ensures next-generation platform support with an M.2 PCIe slot. An optional half-height, half-length (HHHL) adapter is also available for many existing motherboards without an M.2 socket.

Sterno

The thing I'm looking at show some M.2 SSDs that are about 540 MB/s read, and some PCI-E SSDs that are 2500 MB/s

Ampt

8:36 PM

Does this mean I was right?

@Sterno Again, the M.2 Interface, provides both SATA 3.0 and PCI-E 3.0 lanes

Tim Stone

Hmm, actually yes

Ampt

If the drive you plug into it only uses the SATA connection, it's not going to work as fast

Tim Stone

I wasn't paying enough attention

I blame @Unionhawk

Ampt

@TimStone Does this mean I get your diamond? Kthxbai

@ardaozkal That's a good one.

Ohnana

@ardaozkal the original question was "do it have a warranty"

SaintWacko

@MadScientist So how can I find out how large of a PSU I need?

Ohnana

also, the shitstorm in that thread was unreal

SaintWacko

8:45 PM

Oh, pcpartpicker estimates it

Hmmm

Well, crap

Mad Scientist

@SaintWacko There are probably calculators for this. You can also just try to find out how much your GPU and CPU use at max and just add a bit to that. Something like 500-600W should be safe for a single-GPU PC

SaintWacko

@MadScientist There's this for the same price I'm already paying

Yuuki

djsmiley2k

hmmm

Sterno

Hrm. That system came out to $3662. I'd better try again.

Mad Scientist

8:47 PM

@SaintWacko Not enough if you want an AMD card equivalent to a 970

SaintWacko

@MadScientist I already have a 970

Sterno

Although $1200 of that was the 1.2 TB SSD with 2500 MB/s read

MadMAxJr

GPUs often list what kind of amperage they need on the power hungry ones. You need to find out if your PSU puts out enough on the 12 volt rail to meet that amperage requirement.

And additionally, if your PSU provides the power molex connectors the GPU needs.

SaintWacko

I've ordered all the parts for the computer already

Mad Scientist

It's close for a 970, but it works (if the PSU is a good one). I have a good 430W PSU and a 970 + i2500k (not overclocked), and it works

ardaozkal

8:48 PM

second time my node gets physically replaced today

SaintWacko

But I could return the PSU

ardaozkal

I'm getting mad at digitalocean

MadMAxJr

I haven't followed this conversation closely. What's the PSU and what's the GPU?

I can look up the amperage rather easily.

Mad Scientist

I wouldn't go that close though, I only did it because I already had the PSU

SaintWacko

Of course, there's also this for $15 more

@MadMAxJr pcpartpicker.com/p/Zg9fqs

Ampt

8:50 PM

@MadScientist I have the 2500k. Such a great little CPU.

If only it supported PCI 3.0...

I really need to replace it...

Mad Scientist

Nothing really happened in CPUs since that one was released, I'm not even tempted to upgrade

MadMAxJr

That PSU puts out 62.5 amps. Unless you're running triple or quad SLI, you're fine.

SaintWacko

Of course, that one's not modular

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment This is going to be a great proposal

MadMAxJr

37 amps at 450 watts. That'll do the trick.

Huh. Looking up the GPU lists wattage requirements. Guess we don't do amperage anymore for that.

Powerlord

8:57 PM

Is it sad that the computer @SaintWacko is building is as powerful as the one I spent like 3 times as much on 4 years ago? And that's ignoring the graphics card being better than the two of mine combined.

Wait... has it only been 4 years? checks

Ampt

@Powerlord 4 years is a long time for computer hardware

Moore's law is a bitch.

Powerlord

Might be closer to 6 years.

SaintWacko

@MadMAxJr Hm, okay. I may switch to that one then

I didn't realize it needed so little power

Ampt

at 4 years, the number of transistors in his computer will be... ~32 times higher.

SaintWacko

Hmm, is this a good one?

fredley

9:01 PM

@twobugs yay!

Powerlord

Sorry, it's been nearly 5 years since my computer came out. It was shortly after the i7-2600 came out in Q1 2011.

murgatroid99

Moore's law actually has less of an effect now. Core speeds are about the same as they were 5 years ago, and adding more cores only helps so much

MadMAxJr

@SaintWacko +3.3V@20A, +5V@20A, +12V@45A, -12V@0.3A, +5VSB@2.5A This is under the specifications tab. The +12V you want to look at. For modern cards, ~30 or more is ideal.

The current listings though tend to list by wattage requirements instead of amps. The card claims 225 watts is 'enough'.

Q: I NEED a free Minecraft based game. Any suggestions?

Now before you delete this, I desperately need an answer! I'm not allowed to spend money on anything, and I can only have one game. I'm an absolute fan of Minecraft, pocket-edition, but that is, like, ten dollars! I'm talking about Minecraft on an iPad here, in case you didn't realise. All the f...

Q: Controller not working on RWBY: Grimm Eclipse

I am using a Logitech Chillstream, which uses XInput drivers as any Xbox (or Xbox style) controller. However, only the left thumb stick works in-game.

Also wow.

Now I'm building this in iBuyPower.com instead of CyberPowerPC.com and these sites are so similar it's eerie. They practically look the same. Price was within $50 of each other, but I might have a different case.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice has, like, aged and stuff.

Oh cool, @Sterno is making a PC

GnomeSlice

Yuuki

Any movie Leo's in now is going to have Oscar jokes up until he wins one.

Sterno

9:44 PM

Okay, iBuyPower is about $50 cheaper and has free shipping. They win.

Yuuki

And probably even afterwards.

There are three things that will break down internet: 1) Half-life 3 being officially confirmed 2) Leonardo DiCaprio getting Oscar 3) Searching Google on Google.

So puzzle, very atomsphere

badp

ugh

much gamefaqs

Napoleon Wilson

Hmm, I looked a bit through meta but the situation, judging from few mod recommendation discussions I found, seems to be that the community is a bit split on the matter, but that a question trying to solve a specific in-game problem that is not solvable with the game alone might be valid. So I'll just go ahead and leave it to the community to close it if necessary.

Sterno

@badp I'm not sure what you're asking

Powerlord

@badp Do you have a problem with thinking?

fredley

@NapoleonWilson The real test: does it confuse badp?

badp

9:58 PM

@NapoleonWilson link?

Powerlord

I don't think I had to consult a FAQ at all for the first The Room game.

...I haven't played the second since it's smart phones only.

Napoleon Wilson

@badp To what?

Powerlord

(maybe tablets too, but I don't have one of those either)

badp

@NapoleonWilson to the question

murgatroid99

@NapoleonWilson If you ask a question and it turns out that the only way to answer it is with a mod, that's fine. Just don't phrase it as "what's a mod to do X?"

@badp I haven't asked the question yet, that's why I was asking if it's ok.
