Dr. Fishopolis posted:I mean, if you're gaming at 1080p 60hz, yeah. It's not unreasonable to think that someone with a 1080ti is also doing things with VR or at least 1440p at 120hz or whatnot. I think I'm just nostalgic of the days where the latest and greatest cpu and gpu combo could barely push an average of 40 frames on some 'state of the art' gently caress you graphics engines. The old Operation Flashpoint game couldn't even run well with max LOD settings like 4-5 years after release as drawing that much poo poo on screen at a decent frame rate required way too much vram than was available even that long post-release. Only game I can think of nowadays that's even comparable to that madness is the Metro games where enabling maxed out AO and AA will make even a 1080ti cry.

The cool thing about Golden Sample cards is they were a model number up from their listed model. A 4200 GS was identical to a 4400, etc for not nearly the price difference. They were probably just buying the cheaper cards and putting good coolers on them to factory overclock them, but back then you pretty much had to do it yourself anyways because the stock coolers were small and loud. Did they make a 4600 GS? Did that one just have 25MHz higher clocks than the reference 4600? Anyone have one?

And then the You Years From Now will have to either live with discernible differences or continue drawing an income to solve the problem. Quick, think! What would The You Years From Now do? But that slightly discernible difference will ruin me and make my life pointless, you see.

Wasn't that because the 4200s were pretty close to the 4400s anyway? I had the Asus Ti4200 with the active shutter glasses. I remember it was a nice purple with a gold fan and also that it was trounced by the 9800 Pro I replaced it with

Anonymouse Mook posted:Wasn't that because the 4200s were pretty close to the 4400s anyway? Yeah the 4200 4400 and 4600 were all remarkably similar. 25MHz of clock speed was the only difference between them. I think when the 4200 and 4400 launched they only launched with 64MB versions and the 4600 was the only way to get 128MB of memory, but 3rd parties made 128MB versions of all of them and they all clocked so well that the 4200 was all you needed to buy and save ~150 dollars. 4200 days were good times for consumers. I had a 4200, one of the last times I was able to not get the top end videocard and have it not matter at all.

Believe it or not they did in fact sell freaking Vegas to gamers, recent steam survey shows a recovery from the initial slump with their market share starting to rise again. (unless this is just second hand market buying cards back from miners that are selling them)

The fact thats 4 hundredths is pretty eye opening lol. Thats about 4 times less than needed to make it out of the "other" threshold, and at that point (~0.15%) you have wonderful cards such as the GT 220, GT 9800, 560ti, and GTX 440

If they were counted separately like the Nvidia cards then the numbers would be even more dire.

My hope for the next gen (or non-inflated prices) finally cracked and I ordered a used Ebay GTX 1070 for $395. Boy howdy I hope I don't regret it.

$395 is pretty decent. I don't really see them going much below $300 in the near future, barring a complete and total collapse of cryptomining. BTW, Bitmain just announced Equihash ASICs that do 15x the hashrate of a 1080 Ti at 1/10th the power.

I also had that issue in the past few days where games would stop booting up stating that there was no direct x supported graphics card installed (1080ti). Restart fixed it, but it was still weird.

If that doesn't bug you, the dell rules (its similar, though better). If it does bug you (and frankly I could see how it would to a lot of people) then the HP is probably the way to go. Only reason I say Dell otherwise is its thermal management is really sweet among other little things. I tested Overwatch and the Vega M worked exactly as well as reviews suggested. Whats interesting to me is I wiped the computer immediately and reinstalled vanilla Win 10 which is my standard laptop behavior but I was a little concerned being as how this was so new and in particular how the Vega M/Intel CPU drivers would work on a clean install. Turns out Microsoft has all the latest drivers for the entire laptop, including that chip, motherboard, etc and simply running Windows update took care of everything in minutes. I went through and manually tried to update key drivers and it was all for nothing, its truly up to date. But I did lose the super wacky Intel branded AMD Catalyst control center. As far as I can tell there is no simple way to get that back, which is more of a shame than it should be lol. I noticed also that both the iGPU and Vega M GPU run simultaneously and so far appears seamless in its transitions or what it chooses to run on which even as im intentionally forcing windowed mode and alt tabbing like crazy. I'm impressed so far by the GPU performance considering the size and scope of the overall laptop. This, or at least chips like this in design (CPU + GPU on the same die) is clearly a huge advantage in laptops.

The 74Wh battery on the Dell worries me a smidge, but the 84Wh one isn't a huge upgrade. I'm hoping the HP doesn't have soldered internals for later upgrades. I may swing over to Best Buy and see if it feels like crap. Glad performance is looking good! I need to spec it out next to some of the new XPS 15s. I want that whacky GPU because I hate myself?
