What's /g/'s opinion on crossfired Fury Xs?
An anon on /g/ said that there have been report of CF stuttering on games, but it seems that all of them have cleared up through updated drivers (based off AMD's logs)
I understand the immediate downside of running 2 cards but are there else that I need to know? Fury X specifically too.
>>55036203
take this to /sqt/. Not being mean but you'll probably get more answers.
But to give a short gist, xfire scaling is almost 70% more performance if the game supports it. The fury/Fury X on its own (as in only 1 card) had shown occasional stuttering because of how HBM1 ram doesn't downclock properly and overall instability of HBM1 as a whole. This seems hit and miss though as quality control normally is.
>>55036269
I'll make sure to do that next time.
And yeah ive seen desu stuttering issue myself with my current fury x. Though honestly 70% more performance seem quite appealing for the price of it.
>>55036316
that's assuming the game fully supports xfire. This isn't even an SLI vs xfire thing either. Hands down SLI scales worse than xfire, but 90% of titles out there now just don't bother with multi-GPU support anymore. We're soon approaching the ability to drive a 4K panel off of a single GPU. Why make drivers for 2+ cards anymore? Just look at Nvidia. To get proper 3/4 way SLI drivers, you have to contact them.
Hey /g/. How about a break from the seemingly never ending

and we discuss what you're doing. Now. Yesterday. Just 10 minutes ago that you started and are contemplating finishing. Anything tech related. Scripts? Cool. Programming project? What's it do? New PC build? Great! Specs? (no tech support, go to /sqt/ REEE). I'

Currently ripping a bunch of new movies I bought on Blu-ray at FYE today. They had a buy 2 get 3rd free deal so I got
>Entire Hunger game series
>Entire Hobit series
>Entire Lord of the Ring series
>Entire Avatar: The last air bender series
For $67. DRM is huge topic of discussion and did you know they do that shit in blu-rays too? A disc that can only hold 55gb of stuff somehow has 190 entries of the same "29.0GB" file. Turns out they're the same file, compressed like mad, and have all the movie scenes scrambled to prevent ripping. (Even legal copy owners!) Pic related.
So cmon /g/. If it's even remotely tech related, post it. Shit, talk about anything you find interesting in tech. This "brand war" garbage is getting stale.

Hello,
Looking to go deeper than my usual internet browsing and I'm hoping I can get some VPN recommendations on top of any other suggestions. Not a stranger to internet security or computers in general, just wondering what works best for you guys. Thanks!
>>55035897
>Hi I'm looking to hide my traffic, what do you guys use?
See? That was much easier. Personally, I don't have anything super sensitive I'm moving over the network when not at home so the most VPN I have is my personal PC. Set it up for VPN use and when on public wifi, (coffee shop, University) I connect to my home PC.
>>55036015
How do do I setup a VPN like that? I can't find any tutorial, everything is taking about Android apps and Hotspot Shield.

You're insecure.
I paid $20 for the Marvo FN-30 cooling pad. Do cooling pads work as good as the vacuum fans that attach to the vents?
>Cooling pads
Granted mine isn't an informed judgment, as i've never used nor have i ever given much thought to the physics of its operation, but i always dismissed cooling pads as being nothing more than an easy money meme accessory sold to gullible customers. I have literally never had any issues with overheating laptops.
>>55035818
I don't know what "vacuum fans that attach to the vents" are, but regarding cooling pads:
>It depends on the air intake design of your laptop (some laptops don't take air from the bottom)
>They can take down ~5°C from the maximum temperature
>Their main benefit is that they provide a steady flow of fresh air
If you place a laptop on a flat desk, the desk will heat up over time. Because the air intake is very close to the desk the air it takes is already heated up from the hot desk. This causes the internal temperatures to rise as well.
>Another benefit of a cooling pad is that it can also lower idle temperatures meaning the internal fan won't kick in as often possibly never on some laptops depending on their configuration.
>Last but not least a cooling pad provides an upgrade in ergonomics, raising the screen higher, closer to the eye level.
>>55035818
>Cooling pad
As long as you laptop isn't an ancient dust relic or a gaymun laptop, you don't need one.

Got this old (early 2ks, late 90s) dell laptop with win2k on it from a school. it still has the school config, i can log-in, but no admin rights.
No admin rights , so can't install any HW like Wifi
There's no CD Drive - I don't know if i want to buy one for it or not. is there anyway to bypass their shit and make me an admin?
>>55034966
you can try pulling the drive out and attaching it to your system with a USB adapter, use VMware to install a new copy of 2K (if it's not an ultraportable though it sounds like it was probably a Win98 system) by assigning it as a virtual drive for a VM

Only issue i have is i have to get a IDE laptop -> USB or PC IDE (i have an old P4 i keep around for shit)

What is the /g/ opinion of this?
Would be this the AMD year?
Maybe the Polaris GPU only will have good optimization for VR but for Desktop normal gaming could be worst than gtx?
Should I wait for the RX 480 release on September?
I want see yours expectations of this year /g/-
>>55034829
Why? Wouldn't sli1060 be roughly the same as crossfire 480?
And isn't multi gpu still trash?
>>55034852
480 still cheaper than 1060
>>55034884
Has 1060 even been announced yet?
What do we know of it? It might even be better than a 480.
