Oh so you do know what a GPU is. I thought you didn't know at first but you were just trolling me all along. Please go troll in someone else's thread instead of this one. Thanks.

Just because it's faster to say doesn't mean that it's what they are called. And just because Linus Tech Tips calls them GPUs doesn't mean it's correct either.

They think flash drives are more reliable than HDDs

They're awesome CPUs for productivity tasks where you can harness the power of all the cores

Not necessarily. The PS-TV is smaller and quieter than the PS5.

XT2137-1

I use a Moto imported from France and it works great with Mint if I set it to 4G.

If it makes you feel any better about buying your Graphics Card now, I regularly decode (watch) 1080p AV1 content purely in software with my second gen core i5 CPU at full speed. Haven't tried 4k yet though.

I think the XT2125 doesn't exist and GSMArena just has it listed as a message mistake.

Chinese AliExpress refurb motherboards.

A hardware encoder is added with supported hardware like an Intel Arc graphics card. A software encoder is added by installing software, such as installing Handbrake. I've been encoding AV1 files for awhile now with my Sandy Bridge CPU.

Instead of being in a hurry when you back up your data manually, you could automate your backups instead. That way it really doesn't matter if the backup run slowly and you can save money on not feeling the need to buy SanDisk Extremes and prosumer grade SSDs.

Yes, the power consumption on these is whack.

Now that's actually a deal

Thanks for all of the very insightful information on this topic. My takeaway from this is that Nvidia Graphics Cards are GPUs since Nvidia has named their specific cards as such. But Intel and AMD cards aren't GPUs. Those are simply Video Cards/Graphics Cards.

The 3090 is still fast enough to run everything plus it's cheaper. And the core scheduler is a non-issue if you simply disable all of the e-cores. Games run better that way anyway.

No it's fine to erase data you don't need/want.

Isn't registered ECC RAM slower for gaming? That's always been my understanding to why servers generally aren't used for gaming PCs.

Because it re-enforces lazy behavior.

If you need to relax, a caffeinated beverage is one of the last things you'd want to drink. Try herbal tea instead.

If you get an Android or iPhone style phone, they both have the option for speech to text input. It enables you to type without ever having to actually type if that makes sense. I use it myself.

And a car has seats in it, not chairs. Unless you're the Beverly Hillbillies :P

I may be interested in buying the Motherboard/CPU/RAM from you if you don't live too far away. How many miles away from Denton, TX are you?

Software developers have been replaced in the past before. It's a thing that happens time and time again. I don't see how this is any different? There's no reason for us to believe that MSI does not posess the source code of Afterburner.

The whole thing about Nvidia using the term GPU in their marketing got me thinking. GPU = GeForce processing unit APU = AMD processing unit iGPU = Intel processing unit Haha, do you think that pattern was intended?

Exclusive Hatsune Miku games. I'd buy a Sega Mars just for those.

I've noticed in recent years a lot of folks on here have been calling these parts that I've always known as Graphics Cards or video card, simply GPUs. Is that really what their name is though? I've always understood that a GPU is specific component, along with many other components that when...

Just use the stuff that comes pre applied to the stock heatsink. You guys are overcomplicating things :p

I think a new handheld would make more sense for Sega because there's less competition there than home consoles.

They give me 10 gigs per month, then it slows down.

As a post processing effect wouldn't depth of field make the FPS lower?

I'd go for an internal drive personally. If you're careful I doubt you'll mess anything up. Make sure not to spill a beer inside the PC while working on it, and wear an anti static wrist strap or touch some grounded metal before you start.

No, not everything. For example, the smaller installation size. My C drive has more usable space on it since I'm using Windows 7 than it would if I was running 10. More usable space is objectively better than less usable space. This is actually one of the main reasons people sometimes upgrade...

What is it that YouTube once was but isn't anymore? I don't use it very much personally but a month ago I used it to look up a movie trailer that I was curious about and it seemed to me more or less the same as it was 3 years ago.

You're correct.

Music won't benefit from the speed increases of an SSD, and using a SSD on XP also involves aligning the partition to 4k clusters, which the OP might not want to muck with seeing as how they're worried about the mere risk of swapping out a hard drive.

Actually a higher cache miss rate would deem a thread more cache heavy. A higher hit rate would indicate that the given thread has a sufficient amount of cache at it's disposal.

They also said that Bulldozer FX would be much faster once software had the opportunity to optimize for them 😭

Your first statement is false, but your second statement is possibly true.

You can definitely sell them 100% for certain. Just last month I bought several 2.5" laptop hard drives from a different poster on this very forum.
