Min FPS is better on ryzen for whatever reason, and min FPS dips are much more noticeable than average fps, so I'd take a 4 core ryzen over a 4 core intel any time of day. The price is just bonus on top of that.

I thought it was due to architectual differences, as I don't really see how extra cores would magically fix random stutters in main game render thread, but I could be wrong.


e: Yeah sorry, googled it and it's actually not higher min fps than intels. I couldn't find any frametime graphs quickly though, I'll try to find some when I have more time.

You could hear HDDs doing work, now if you're stuck on a loading screen there's literally zero feedback whether your thing is just feeling like loading slowly today or if it hanged.

I did this too.
(I had to order a side panel from Germany without a window. Thermaltake took 3 weeks to reply to emails / FB messages, I mailed 3 different countries reps before getting one.)

I mean, I just swapped the backside panel with the front one, since they're exactly the same on my case, and the back one doesn't have a window. :v:

Yeah, FDs are pretty solid but most cases with windows are utter trash.

I probably never will do it, but just once I'd like to make a top-end machine with a custom loop + GPU block and put that fucker up for show. Until then, it'll just be the featureless fronts on my pair of define R5s.

I did the whole custom loop thing but I still have a featureless box (the panel with the window is facing against the wall).

A theoretical 8 core TR would be 2/2+2/2. You could also do a comical 4 core with 1/1+1/1, which would join the Epyc 7251 8 core (1/1+1/1+1/1+1/1) in "this is for a very specific use case" territory, ha. Lots of cache/memory bandwidth, lots of PCIe, not a lot of raw proc power.

I had enlightenment crash on me a few times, but I switched to i3 and it's been stable, so I think that's e's fault.

As an e user for over a decade, switch to kde. There's probably a kwinscript now that does the window management thing you want from your WM, and having a proper, working DE is real nice. E used to be fast and very nice back around e17 alpha/beta releases and when it did crash once per month, it'd just restart itself and it didn't show anywhere, but now it's a loving tyre fire.

The main dev is a huge idiot too, so it's only ever going to get worse, never better. :negative:

Google's IPv6 usage statistics (gathered on the basis of how many connections they see to all their sites over v6 vs v4) are very interesting for that. For one thing, IPv6 adoption is consistently higher on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays than on normal workdays. For another, Belgium, the US and Greece are the top 3 IPv6 users, in that order.

They are also most definitely not in a position to be developing games with their financials, much less selling game consoles. This is going to be ouya 2.0 at best.

e: literally why there even is a company called Atari right now lmao:
