So I have a GTX970 right now and it's fine now.
However, I might soon upgrade to 4K since my current monitor has low dpi (1080p@27") and as I usually play at less than an arm's length most games look like crap.

My budget is around €300 which is around $250 in the US. I need 120+fps at 4K in CSGO and 60+fps at at least 1440p in other games like BeamNG.

Some of my options:
>Sell 970 and get used 980/980Ti
>Sell 970 and get new 1070
>Get another used 970

Rest of the pc is a [email protected], 24GB ram and a CX750M.

Any last words?

Ubuntu Say docker is good

I work dev ops and use docker to build out environments for the devs for our multiple packages.

The goal of this function is to do hit detection so it's got to be optimized to hell because that's a classically computationally intense process.

The obvious hit detection method is to go though and check every combination of objects for hits by their distance from each other. To do this you would need to use the distance formula, which uses square roots.

While not completely accurate, inverse square root is close enough to square root to be used to estimate what objects definitely aren't touching while being way faster. From this graph notice how terrible calculating a square root is.

newton's method is used to numerically estimate a function from its derivative. This method requires an initial guess (one of the constants) and is iterative (the blacked out line). I'm pretty sure that's what the C standard library already does to calculate square roots, they just use however many iterations are required to get a sure answer. This just uses only one iteration.

It's actually a common optimization. Read about it in "art of computer programming: bitwise tricks" and "hacker's delight", the second of which actually mentions inverse square root by name

oh yeah, and also remember that floating point = scientific notation so they use that fact to their advantage

1 point for team stupid.
The bitmap is composed of rgb values, but that wasnt really the point :^)

Aight, I'll try your puzzle.

Fairly soon. The new vega card looks to be between the 1070 and the 1080.

Free sync is a meme. Tearing is almost not noticeable on 144hz anyway.

Well the Rx 480 already beats the gtx 1070. Maybe the 1070+ might match the Rx 480 this time.

Yes, but it's quite common in this world to pay too much money/get scammed once one reaches the limits of their competence.

Next time you pay for something in a service industry, take a sec to find out how much it would have cost you "DIY." You'll often feel quite retarded for paying the premium out of ignorance.

List all the system specs (ALL of them, including laptop brand/model) and his total investment for those specs. Also, games he plays on it.

If it was cost effective for his needs, what's your butthurt all about?

I tend to agree that $200 for someone to unlock extra cores is a bit steep, but you didn't mention anything about what was involved to do that. If it was a time-consuming ballbuster to do that, it could be reasonable if the total system cost vs. specs pan out.

What exactly is it with childish little fucks like you and shitposting up the board without providing any fucking context? Doesn't /pol/ pay enough attention to you?

2010, it's the last Office not to contain telemetry and the last Office with decent font rendering. Just get the iso with SP2 integrated and you're good to go.

Exactly. Linux is trash. It requires making the user a slave in order to achieve rudimentary stuff that must be done by the OS in <?current year>.

No pajeet, the terminal in most cases is better than the command line. You have less of an attack surface and less memory and space being wasted.

>>58690776
That's why I call it just Linux.

I have two bottles of water that worked fine for 6 months.
The water is fine but why the fuck is it's water under them.
I would say one is leaking but not sure which actually leaks.

Try lubricating with light machine oil

Is it only some statistic + operationg on data with programming language?

I have a PhD in Cognitive Psychology, tons of experience analysis experimental data, but now I'm trying to make the jump into Big data. Using pic related to see where I stand on the stats/math side, nothing new so far.

I have experience with SPSS, Matlab and R, will try to learn Hadoop and all the Hadoop-related platforms.

Overkill. 8320 would be better. Or if you can pickup an 8350 underclock it. Also get EEC RAM.

Wayland should fix that. Try Firefox on newest Fedora.

What VNC server do people use? Tightvncserver has a retarded and awkward configuration
All I want to do is to remote control my machine with my Android using bvnc (over ssh)
Couple of people in the last thread recommended x2go (NX-based) and TigerVNC but I was wondering if there was something better.

I just know it's going to break again and I have no idea what fixed it. I don't think I can fap my way out every time either.
