Malware on the computer can control fan speeds. Fan speeds oscillate and a microphone captures the sound. Nothing groundbreaking.

Also,

Dunce

This is fucking stupid

This is like saying a shower can steal your nudes because there can be a camera hidden in the bathroom somewhere.

You also could probably edit the registry of wine according to the .reg file, I just have no idea how would you do that

This. Official drivers aren't out yet, and we could just be seeing lies

Because Nvidia and Intel are much bigger companies with much more money. Of course their products are going to be better. Get a fucking job or deal with AMD's shitty products.

Honestly if you have a card that's as good as or better than the 480 at this point then you don't NEED to get a new GPU.

If you don't have a card or yours isn't as good then you don't NEED to get anything other than an RX 480.

Basicall there is no reason to buy Nvidia cards anymore.

Everytime. The same happened with the 1080 series because no one on /g/ can ever deal with the facts and everyone just wants to shitpost

Nobody gives a fuck what you pick.

What kind of workloads are you planning using the computer for?

For gaming? No.
For anything? No.

>>55299447
Not very demanding games,
Cs:go, Skyrim, payday, maybe rust.

I work most of the time so I just want something I can kick back and enjoy on. I'm sick of getting 30 fps

It's not that Skype is bad software, it's that the normed we want to chat with are content with Skype, and don't want to switch. Also pic related.

I still feel like this belongs in /v/

Also it's okay but we could use more modern FPS with good graphics, phones like the S7 have a fuckload of gpu power.

I dont play mobile games and I feel anything outside xbox, ps and pc are for kids and you should feel bad.

almost every game I play on my tablet it tries to melt it.
Playing hearthstone will cause the back to burn my hands/legs, depending on if I'm in the bathroom

Make sure you are not using the d-gpu (if your laptop has one) when you're on battery.
This help me a lot.

Do some basic research before asking questions. /g/ is not tech support.

Eye candy, no functionality. Facebook Machine. Poorfag hardware friendly

>KDE
Looks boring but polished, tons of functionality. Not poorfag hardware friendly

>>55298934
gnome is crap and uses too much system resources, while kde is prettier crap that uses even more.
KDE is used to install a nice suite of programs you can use with a lightweight window manager, while gnome is used by retards.

>posting a two year old screengrab

AMD have made significant progress on that front since then, and any newer Digital Foundry comparison will tell you that. Nice try though, shillfriend. :^)

>>55298782
>Why can't AMD make proper drivers?
Much smaller team of people working on the drivers.

As for why, I don't know.

>>55298782
>Nvidia is still releasing driver up updates for old shit like gtx260
No they're not, you retard. Nvidia only perform optimizations and updates for their very latest architecture. Even Maxwell is dropped now. Bundling old drivers together with the new ones for their old cards is why their driver download is so fucking huge now, but it's worth it for them as gullible retards like you think you're still getting "updates" for your ancient card, when in reality you're just installing the same driver over and over again.

Thinly veiled nvidiot thread aside, I wouldn't mind a 3rd party.

Qualcomm would be a good competitor

>welcome Intel back
I don't recall them ever making dedicated graphics cards before. Anyway, I doubt there are many companies willing to venture into that market. There's probably easier money out there.
