[2016-11-13. : 1:54 am]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: FaRTy1billion more like 2 years vs 5 ya, that's what I mean ( FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: but I don't actually know the rate that graphics increase and GPUs go out )[2016-11-13. : 1:54 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Mini Moose 2707Mini Moose 2707 shouted: Get good FPS in SCBW tho I was going to make a joke when I first started like "w/e, still runs SCBW"[2016-11-13. : 1:53 am]  NudeRaider -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: if not, $1.4k is more than I wanted to spend but will still be less than if I bought a $1k right now and then $1k in a year more like 2 years vs 5[2016-11-13. : 1:53 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- if not, $1.4k is more than I wanted to spend but will still be less than if I bought a $1k right now and then $1k in a year[2016-11-13. : 1:53 am] NudeRaider -- yeah anything above $1500 is getting really inefficient regarding price/value[2016-11-13. : 1:52 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: anyway a 1060 will last MUCH longer than a 960. ya, that's why I'm going to see if it comes down in price for the holidays[2016-11-13. : 1:51 am] NudeRaider -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: I feel like if I spent a ton on some super high-end one it'd definitely last longer than a cheaper one, but probably not by much define super high end. 1060 is light gaming. It literally the lowest gaming card in nvidias repertoire  [2016-11-13. : 1:48 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- but I don't actually know the rate that graphics increase and GPUs go out[2016-11-13. : 1:47 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I feel like if I spent a ton on some super high-end one it'd definitely last longer than a cheaper one, but probably not by much[2016-11-13. : 1:45 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- but at least I feel more confident in what I'm looking for[2016-11-13. : 1:45 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I totally forgot it's the month of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. xD I' mgonna wait[2016-11-13. : 1:43 am] Moose -- Just run mpstat with a low delay over many intervals and see how often your CPU is blocking or low on idle % X^D[2016-11-13. : 1:41 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- so like i7/whatever is not an issue and not going to hold it back?[2016-11-13. : 1:41 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Also, am I right in that it's mostly the GPU that matters with the ones I found?[2016-11-13. : 1:38 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- If there are, cool, if not, then I'll just have to decide if $400 is worth a few more years of life (it probably is)[2016-11-13. : 1:38 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- like ~$800 is just what would be ideal, I said I'm willing to go over. 1060 is probably worth it, so I'll just wait a few weeks to see if there are any holiday sales[2016-11-13. : 1:37 am] NudeRaider -- LoveLessLoveLess shouted: im surprised someone doesn't sell some kind of special screen/laptop case that lets you pseudo build a laptop business sellers usually do that.[2016-11-13. : 1:37 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: FaRTy1billion okay, but then don't expect to find something cheap AND fast. Probably best to stick with 960m - 980m I wasn't, that's why I'm asking what's best to look for xD[2016-11-13. : 1:36 am] NudeRaider -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: NudeRaider the problem is that I take my laptop everywhere, and that's usually when I have the most time for playing games ;o okay, but then don't expect to find something cheap AND fast. Probably best to stick with 960m - 980m[2016-11-13. : 1:36 am] LoveLess -- I would still carry around a laptop that has the bottom portion like 4 inches big[2016-11-13. : 1:36 am] LoveLess -- Well thats what I mean, with special PSUs for the battery and a special mobo[2016-11-13. : 1:36 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- being modular doesn't really work, because there's not really room in the case for connectors and stuff[2016-11-13. : 1:35 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- LoveLessLoveLess shouted: im surprised someone doesn't sell some kind of special screen/laptop case that lets you pseudo build a laptop I think it's because due to the form everything has to tbe integrated on to the motherboard[2016-11-13. : 1:35 am] LoveLess -- im surprised someone doesn't sell some kind of special screen/laptop case that lets you pseudo build a laptop[2016-11-13. : 1:35 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- lol I could just get an awesome computer and finance it xD[2016-11-13. : 1:33 am] NudeRaider -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Maybe consider a desktop for gaming and a laptop for gaming instead of trying to get something cheap that does both? *a laptop for mobility[2016-11-13. : 1:33 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Maybe consider a desktop for gaming and a laptop for gaming instead of trying to get something cheap that does both? the problem is that I take my laptop everywhere, and that's usually when I have the most time for playing games ;o[2016-11-13. : 1:32 am] NudeRaider -- 8GB is fine for now. But expect to have to upgrade in a year or maybe 2-3.[2016-11-13. : 1:31 am] Moose -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: is 8GB a good minimum of RAM, or should I be looking for more? Just run vmstat on your existing machine with a small delay and long interval and see how much you use, and how often you swap in/out to disk X^D[2016-11-13. : 1:31 am] LoveLess -- Considering that I want to play shit like Star Citizen on it and thats about it[2016-11-13. : 1:31 am] LoveLess -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: indeed. I can only recommend a desktop for any serious gaming. For $1000 you get something that plays everything in ultra and you can just slap on a PCIe card to support mSATA if it doesn't natively. I fear the day that I have to buy my new PC[2016-11-13. : 1:30 am] NudeRaider -- Maybe consider a desktop for gaming and a laptop for gaming instead of trying to get something cheap that does both?[2016-11-13. : 1:30 am] LoveLess -- When someone on twitch asks for a follow, are they asking me to follow them on the street?[2016-11-13. : 1:30 am] NudeRaider -- indeed. I can only recommend a desktop for any serious gaming. For $1000 you get something that plays everything in ultra and you can just slap on a PCIe card to support mSATA if it doesn't natively.[2016-11-13. : 1:28 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- is 8GB a good minimum of RAM, or should I be looking for more?[2016-11-13. : 1:27 am] NudeRaider -- hm. thats a lot more for a card that costs only $200-$300 (if desktop price is any indication)  [2016-11-13. : 1:26 am] NudeRaider -- I mean the notebooks you were considering with a 960m are good value, but you have to answer for yourself if they're fast enough. It's likely that they'll be at the point where your current laptop is now in like 2-3 years.[2016-11-13. : 1:25 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- maybe I should look in a couple weeks after thanksgiving[2016-11-13. : 1:24 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- there doesn't seem to be any on amazon in this price range (which was just the first place I thought of xD)[2016-11-13. : 1:23 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I'm not super worried about high/ultra, other than I'd hope that it would last for a few years[2016-11-13. : 1:23 am] NudeRaider -- aren't there decent laptops with a 1060? Should perform much better and most importantly be much more future proof.[2016-11-13. : 1:22 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I bumped up my price range by a few hundred and now I see 860Ms, which seems like a step down ;o[2016-11-13. : 1:20 am] NudeRaider -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: also that article keeps talking about 2GB RAM, this has 4 which probably means that the card was built for 2 GB RAM regarding RAM transfer speed, but they slapped on another 2GB so it still seems relevant (which it isn't imo, for any serious gaming)[2016-11-13. : 1:19 am] NudeRaider -- the easiest way to gain cheap performance is to lower (native) resoluton.[2016-11-13. : 1:18 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- also that article keeps talking about 2GB RAM, this has 4[2016-11-13. : 1:16 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- what should I look for instead? 980M (based on that article)?[2016-11-13. : 1:15 am] NudeRaider -- hm, are you sure you'll be happy with a 960m? http://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-960M-Review.137893.0.html It seems it's already struggling with high on some games, which means you can play the game on medium instead of low now.[2016-11-13. : 1:09 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- "Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.6 GHz, 8GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB - $869" is the one I'm considering |
