computer hardware thread redux

xxjesus1412fanx · ^

general discussion about hardware, what they're used for, comparisons, shilling for your favorite brands, questions, how they're made, anything really.

anyone interested in showing off how bad/good their shit is can use this and link the page it opens up after completing.

looks like x86 is here to stay for quite a while longer boys

Well that was an interesting benchmark

Here's hoping Zen will be worthwhile or we'll be forever stuck with jewtel and jewvidia.

Essentially I'd get the r9 380 4gb if you game at higher resolutions or have multiple monitors and the gtx 960 2gb if you're using a single 1080p monitor. Ignore memory bus size, it doesn't really matter.

Both are good value and are at around the same price point your 660 was at its release date.

Or get a used 770 which is faster than a 960.

used graphics cards are very sketchy for obvious reasons namely how abused they likely were, even though the age of bitcoin mining is basically over I would never risk it.

I'd just get a new one

You've been on the chans, haven't you.

I'd use that site to do a benchmark, but it must have found the loli on my pc so my IP is banned.

Buying used ones in Finland is pretty good though, I've bought several used hardware and all of them were in a good shape condition wise

well can you really tell if whoever had them before had them running overclocked and undercooled for 2-3 years straight? that kind of wear isn't going to be apparent until the card dies soon after getting it

sure it can work out and you can get real lucky but i feel like it's not a risk worth taking most of the time, and the r9 380 is still better than the 770 and cheaper new.

I don't know though, maybe in finland these prices are wildly different, but in the states AMD cards are priced competitively with nvidia. If it's really cheaper to get a 770 than either of the other 2 then I would go for it because the 770 is still really good, benchmarks exactly evenly with 660 SLI on 3dmark, and real-world performance is vastly superior when you consider it's not carrying the baggage of SLI's limited support in games.

Saddest benchmark

Mara · ^

Don't worry FuZ, I have this piece of shit. Some true hardware gore.

Not really, I can run pretty much every game I want on this piece of shit so it's cool.

I also have used (and fixed) PSU on this rig, works like a charm.

It's a very harsh benchmarking site, even a computer that can run any game just fine can score really low % wise, with stuff that can run 4k AAA Ultra is what sets the standard at 100%+

You dont want to know how shit my computer is. I dont even have a proper graphics card in it, just some chip that simulates one being there.

I've been playing/doing stuff on an office laptop ever since i joined Osu (even past that) and i still feel pretty content ... - although i wish i had an actual PC because holy shit i feel like the most hobo internet person to have graced any online community like, fuck.

Holy shit it really is harsh

Or is my PC just bad?
