I've got both Intel/Nvidia and AMD/ATI and Intel/AMD combined setups, and price wise AMD is still the way to go.Intel still rear end-rapes people for even budget CPUs.

CPU/PCH wise I don't really care, not that I've ever built a machine for myself with one. I have built AMD machines for friends. ATIs drivers are just such utter poo poo I gladly give Nvidia my money. (Also Intel keeps me employed so) e: I will forever refer to ATI as ATI just to keep it straight in my head.

I've have zero problems with the 5-6 AMD/ATI powered machines I have. And considering AMD/ATIs dedication to Open Source, they will continue to have my vote, regardless of Intel's stability, I'm sick of having to deal with their closed source methods. But yea, gently caress bitcoin. SuperDucky posted:ATIs drivers are just such utter poo poo I gladly give Nvidia my money. This is really the root of ATIs actual issues: Not the hardware, but the drivers. Hopefully, now that they've open sourced almost all the drivers, we'll see improvements like we did when Omega re-compiled the ATI drivers back in the day.

The computer that I built for my step-mom used a bargain basement AMD chip back with a 200GB Seagate only just got replaced because she got a grant to do music production. I built the computer in 2002 and it was running XP. Nothing died ever. For my own poo poo, I still use Intel and WD

gently caress mirror walls forever. My home came with several mirror walls. The guys doing the tile broke one of them taking the old tiles up, so they took all the mirrors down. This is what's behind it all...  This house is gonna look so awesome when this is all done.

KozmoNaut posted:I toyed with the idea of having my own weightlifting setup, but I decided to join an awesome crossfit/lifting club instead. They have so much more gear (and room for said gear) than I would ever have, and they have the really high-quality stuff (Eleiko weights and barbells etc.). I would bankrupt myself if I had to buy the same gear just for my own little setup. Compared to that, 300DKK/month is chump change, and that includes instructors who know what they're doing and what you're doing wrong. Just joined a gym myself. Been really good so far, so 100% concur. I normally hate people, but every single person has been super friendly so far. I'm a laffo-round goon, and I've gotten nothing but encouragement and good vibes from people, so definitely worth my money! And I feel better than I have in years, even only after 2 weeks.

The NBs can get 6 due to the revised front subframe and A arms. I pulled caster to get some camber. I wanted a square set up, but I'm OK with it being a bit pushy. That +0.2 of camber though, ffffffffffffff

I hate Texas. I hate hotels. I miss my kid. gently caress this humidity. Why are your onramps like 12 feet long? This Yaris has like 7 horsepower. Can I go a full day without being assaulted by some death bug the size of a silver dollar? If I have to eat another waffle in the shape of Texas I'm going to burn something to the ground. I just want to go home.

Tusen Takk posted:I'm waiting to graduate before I build a new computer. I'm never buying ATI/AMD products again, so this time I shouldn't have as many problems On the CPU front, AMD is fine as long as you don't want the absolute top performance CPU you can get. They simply cannot compete with Intel in that segment, but their budget and low-power models are fine. That said, I've been extremely satisfied with my Phenom II X6 1100T, which was the biggest baddest AMD CPU at the time, and put up a great fight against Intel's high-end offerings. I haven't bothered to overclock it and the performance is great at the stock 3.3GHz. But on the GPU front AMD/ATI still loses bigtime for any Linux/BSD user. The Nvidia drivers are just lightyears ahead. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Oct 9, 2015 |

I swore off ATI video cards in 2006 and will never, ever, ever go back. Why? the drivers. I don't know how, but hydravision (which I had to install to make my dual monitor setup work at the time - and it only made things worse, it resulted in app crashes and completely hosed up video resolution/refresh rate settings every time I opened any video game, requiring me to learn how to open display properties and set it back to something sane entirely blind, using keyboard shortcuts) completely cratered my TCP/IP stack when I uninstalled it. Had to reinstall windows. At that point I bought an nvidia card, reinstalled windows, and never went back. gently caress ATI. Maybe in another few years I'll give them a second chance, but only if they take the entire development team responsible for that monstrosity out in a public square, line them up, and shoot them.

I've had just as many dumb driver issues with Nvidia as I have had with ATI. I haven't had any driver issues in like 5 years though so I just get whatever has the best price/performance in my price range and don't worry about it. Currently have an Intel CPU/ATI video card and no issues with either.

Went and saw The Martian the other night. Adding my voice to the Go See It pool. Few little things bothered me (clear plastic and duct tape? Why not hab canvas like in the book. Friend did the calcs and there would be something like 60 tons of force on that sheet plastic...), but nothing big. Also: just joined Vidku as @darchangel and friended @adam. Add to group, please?

Rhyno posted:Is stuff going missing? Nope, they've just never had a physical inventory of hardware, so the company literally does not know where everything is. We have software that gathers info from PCs, but they want to know if this is accurate (which it isn't, if it breaks, or the PC does.) We need it. My complaint is the timescale, the total lack of direction, and the fact that there are companies who do this. We're not like a tiny company where the IT staff also does physical counts, and such.

I have an AMD FirePro M6100 in my machine, it runs like clockwork. Granted, all the optional upgrade cards are Nvidia Quadros, so this is the entry level for this machine. Anecdotal, I know, but I actually end up having more issues with the Intel Graphics than I did the AMD video.
