robots and shit,
although some just use it as a cheap computer.

As a tech toy they're inexpensive, they offer a solid number of useful features and they're accessible thanks to a large community of people preparing software. It makes them non-intimidating for newcomers.

it's great, but don't use 'raspibian' , use mate
raspibian = for the workshop
mate = for the desktop

things are far easier to configure in mate, as with ubuntu (mate)

You need like six LEDs per pixel to get 99%. Modern monitors have 3 and only >>55227210 has even attempted 4

TDP is not power consumption.

because it's a budget card with a low tdp/power reqs that is equivalent to a last gen $500 card for only $200

it's a good deal desu

No. We're bitter that we have to work with people who have college degrees but still can't code worth shit.

This. I got an on campus job where code quality fucking mattered, I self document like a mofo (Clean Code by Robert C Martin is a fucking godsend)

I join groups for classes where they don't even know how to use git and use redefine variables, copy/paste code everywhere, horrible performance, 2 letter variable names. I fucking die it's horrible

Pirate down F-secure. It is free :^)

Since the graphics is integrated, I know that upgrading that is out of the question. I have stripped this fucker down to the mobo twice, replaced the HDD twice, and upgraded almost every other component The only parts of this machine that are original are the display, the chassis, the heat sink/fan assembly, and the CD drive. Literally EVERYTHING else has been replaced or upgraded. (I only say this to reinforce the fact that a solution to my problem does not have to be practical or easy for it to be valid in my eyes)

It has one PCI expresscard slot. I currently don't use it, but I know that there is hardware out there that allows you to use a desktop GPU with an expresscard adapter of some sort. I have found a few different ones, but they are all more expensive than I am willing to pay for this. To me, it doesn't seem like it should be that hard to make a simple expresscard to PCI card adapter. I realize that anyone who is going to do this has already done it since the technology is obsolete. This one http://www.techradar.com/us/news/computing-components/graphics-cards/how-to-make-an-external-laptop-graphics-adaptor-915616 can still be bought, but it ranges from $50 to $75. I would be willing to pay $20 easy, maybe even $30, but $50 is a bit steep.

The device reviewed here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/vidock-expresscard-graphics,1933.html can now be bought from the company for $200, and it includes the GPU. I already have GPU's that will work with it, so I only need the adapter hardware, not the GPU inside. Does anyone know of a way to get that?

Alternatively, if there are any expresscards that are in and of themselves a GPU, regardless of their power, size, and whether it is powered internally or externally, I would be very interested in that as well.

>>Tl;dr: I need an adapter for a laptop PCI expresscard to PCI card to use a desktop GPU with at least 128 mb or RAM in it, OR an expresscard based GPU for a laptop.

shorter version: I need to boost the graphics power of my 2004 laptop. No solution is to impractical or difficult. Dream big /g/, if you can cook up an idea, I can get it to work, no matter how ridiculous.

>>inb4 get a new laptop
I already have a really nice laptop that I already play undertale and other games on. It has a gtx 780m in it. I just want to try to use this one for the sake of doing it, not for practical reasons.

Feel free to post other ridiculous ideas, problems, old hardware, etc, etc in this thread.


* (the CPU, while it says it is a 780 running at 2.26 GHz, is actually only running at 1.7 GHz, for reasons I cannot explain. I replaced the motherboard a few years back, and at the time it had a 2GHz CPU and 512 Mb or RAM, and because the old hardware is so cheap I decided to max out the specs. Unfortunatly, the 2.26GHz CPU has never run any faster than 1.7 GHz. I actually bought another one and replaced it, but got the same result. I am thinking it might have something to do with the mobo/bus speed, but isnt the CPU frequency independent of bus speed...?) Any ideas as to the cause or a solution to this would be very much appreciated.

>>55226689

High quality lighting is much easier to render than real time ambient occlusion, and it makes a huge difference in a scene.

Real time occlusion looks shitty and will tank performance. It is rare to need real occlusion either.
