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.

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.
