I'm gonna get the founders edition anyways. the ports on Nitro dont work out well for hackintosh

What the fuck are you even talking about?

Stop installing cracked software and games then idiot.

I've gone back to 8.1 and I never left Linux faм.

>cracked software and games

lol

i am fine being ruled by machines as long as they aren't fucking linux based

it would probably be a freetards wet dream however

Then life would become boring as fuck

Social Media, by tapping into our primal ape, will destroy us all.

Marines were never proud and the few, they were nuckledraggers who couldn't get a proper job, so hand 'em a gun and off to shoot some foreigners.

Back to the topic, games are built with DX in mind, with OpenGL as an afterthought, the market for linux games is tiny compared the windows market. Basically, no one makes games for OpenGL apart from id.

Well I understand that, but that doesn't completely answer my question.

So if a game is built with DX11 in mind...I'm not familiar with programming. How much code can be ported? I can understand that if a game is built with DirectX in mind, and it implements some tough-to-change or unchangeable features that are not the proper khronos-recommended ways of doing things, performance will be hurt. However, if you're rebuilding a games graphics, wouldn't you be rebuilding most of the graphics rendering from scratch?

I'm just curious as to what the ratio of "bad code:Difference in philosophy" is. It just doesn't make sense to me that if you hire competent developers to port a game, the best you can achieve is half the fps.

Like with a console -> pc port (Skyrim is a great example), the PC experience is hampered as fuck (see: Atrocious stock UI), but the game itself is still capable of performing like a beast, taking full advantage of the hardware provided.

Another example would be Batman: Arkham Knight, or whatever the shitty warner bros one from a year ago was.

The game did well on console, ported to PC, and it performed horribly. However, as we can tell by looking at performance now, the issue was not a difference in philosophy. Warner Bros (and whoever they hired to do the port) didn't initially give two flying fucks about code quality until the community demanded a quality port. And now, it performs very well (which is to say, it offers a high end experience, on high end cards, and scales well down the lineup of cards).

So if they can do it, surely that means that the DX->OGL ports are just poor code quality....right?

No one else can tell you what you like. Try them both out and see which one you prefer.

do NOT use emacs. it is a troll designed to cripple programmers. (((GNU))) software is trash, always avoid when possible.

That won't fix the problem, the display is damaged permanently. Either deal with it or prepare to have the screen assembly replaced. Sorry for the bad news but the same thing happened to my laptop when I stupidly used alcohol on it.

I don't believe in 'pay the most = the best' but as someone who is guilty of wanting the most out of games with everything on max at 1440p, I'm always going to want the new card. Tactful purchasing has always been the best solution for me, I don't trade cards up or down, I buy the best of the series and stick with it for a few years until the next 'breakthrough'.

I was of that opinion and about to get a 980 Ti but as I waited for prices to dip the 10XX series came out and fucked my shit up.

I apologise for the wall of text, hopefully you can see where I am coming from. If not
>TL;DR
Need So here is a legitimate question, and I know it irks /g/eeks when GPU/PC build shit pops up but I just want to pick your brains with this conflict I'm dealing with.

Thanks in advance.

And another one.

Will it fit up my boipussi

>>55916821

Is it true? No memory card slot? No removable battery?

>>55917060
It has a memory card slot but no removable battery

Or can someone please tell me if I even need freesync at 1440/60Hz?

With a fury nitro yes you do. The fury is not strong enough to keep a steady 60 fps on a normal 60 Hz vsync in most games out today. The future is even more of a wildcard.

non-144hz freesync usually has a 40hz-60hz range. And that where the R9 fury sits in most modern AAA titles on 1440p (40 to 60 fps).

I mean, it's not obligatory, you'll probably get a smooth 60 if you dial some setting down.

As for the monitor, you'll struggle to find a 60hz Freesync 1440p. Better just buy a 4k 60hz Freesync. That way you can play older titles at smooth 4k resolution at 40 to 60 fps (or even newer games like overwatch)

Personally, I'm not a fan of monitors bigger than 24 inch, It's too fucking big for a monitor. Unless you'll use a controller and sit 3 feet away,
For a normal pc gaming at a desk, 27-32 inch monitors means you'll literally have to turn your head to take some of the action in. It's fucking annoying it feels like you're watching a recording. Completely ruins the immersion.

Find something like the ASUS MG24UQ- 4K, IPS, 40-60 Hz Freesync. That PPI reaches retina levels from normal distance (look up what retina means if you think it's just a stupid apple meme). It also means that even at 1440p you won't need anti aliasing.

But that would mean you won't be playing at a monitor's native res all teh time, which can be shit for some badly coded games/new titles that don't have proper driver support. It's a fair compromise. With any other type of monitor you're not getting what you paid for.

Anyway you look at it you're going to have buyer's remorse. At least go all out and enjoy it.

I'll be receiving a Asus VG248QE (1 ms/144 Hz/1920x1080) as a birthday gift in some days. I'm going to pair it with a i5-6500 + GTX 750Ti for playing some old fps games at hopefully more than 100 fps. Honestly I can't imagine how smooth games will look, but I'm excited.

Just put it on the german ebay, would go with about 150 euros. Put Windows 10 on it first though as a dumb poor people will buy it.

Thought the same. Thanks

You need to do an OEM install of Ubuntu if you plan to sell it with Ubuntu.

Nvidiafags cucked already? Holy shit, that was fast.

Jesus, what DIDN'T they move to legacy?

You fell for the meme...

>>55917214
>implying

It's a good introduction to C programming, OP. It'll teach you everything that lays the foundation for higher development, if I were you I'd pay more attention to the pointers chapter.

I didnt fall for a meme I made a conscious choice to learn more about C.

what? do you mean you bought a radeon 480? or did you actually buy a geforce?

>>55916696
Gtx 480, the one that recently came out

>>55916772
the gtx 480 is and old nvidia card, you dumbass
