What are you trying to do and what CPU and gpu do you have

>>55672530
Well I'm currently thinking about buying a GTX 1070 and i7 6700k, and mostly video game + record and render in game footage. Especially with DX12 on Win10 allowing better hyperthread usage I was thinking the i7 is worth the extra ~$80 and overclocking it would give me more value.

But my concern is mostly heat and electricity usages, I've read that overclocking increases the idle temp/power use by a lot so I'm a bit concerned with the 50w or whatever it might be just for simply existing

>>55672518
Depends on your task, processor, cooling solution, and OCing headroom.

If youre on an older core2 or first/second gen i7 then absolutely, those chips were quite conservatively clocked and you can see 33-60% gains. Something newer is extremely lucky to get 15% (going from turbo boost, not base)

Because Lisp is fucking awful.

I guess I will never be a programmer now, just a shitty phython code monkey

but Scheme is simply beautiful.

Lmao

Why are AMD cards so bad with power.

Difference in architecture.

nvidia chose to optimize for serial que and use software que to make optimizations.
amd chose to optimize for parallel que and use hardware to optimize games

hardware option cost extra power usage. this is what you see

amd and nvidia took different approaches to architecture .

those differences have pros and cons, one of the cons for amd is power consumption .

First, you're a newfag
Second, that's because of display compositing. Turn it off and transparency becomes only to desktop

Install Ubuntu

is this the new desktop thread

Unsurprising.

Please stop turning your fucking computer off when you leave.

Good logos.

Was that the logo? No wonder it didn't make it through.

as much as i like haranguing "girls who code",
this is fake tho

Do you know how to use the catalog?

Force them to learn C at a young age.

Might need a compiler
and a editor of some sort

A dead blow hammer, locked door, and a console.

Sounds like a tremendous waste of time. Go be productive and watch Chinese cartoons.

>>55671969
Practice is never a waste of time. Even more so when the practice creates a nice conversation piece.

Why don't you just buy a real guitar?
A decent one only costs $500-ish and lasts forever.

I do hope this isn't the new normal around here.

Hardly any 4K content of anything. Running recent or new games at that resolution requires a beastly machine.

>playing games

>>55671815
only photo and video editing maybe.

watching anime, movies or youtube needs the content or bandwidth

gaming needs are gpu capable of delivering acceptable framerates at justifiable graphics settings

dpi scaling is shit on windows and once you go over FHD, everything seems unoptimised as shit, depending on your screensize though

the best and most budget friendly solution is to get a atleast 75hz ips/va panel which supports freesync

Bet there were more who fell for the netbook meme.
Anyone remember the netbook?

>>55674178
Netbooks evolved into the Chromebook which is actually useful and successful.
