This is probably a broad discussion for an entirely different thread, but France's ideal of universalism (colorblind society) is a lie it keeps telling itself to avoid dealing with reality as more and more non-whites call the country home. It sounded real good when 99% of the country looked the same.
I won't question that people who escaped America at its peak of open, antagonistic racism saw Europe as some kind of Utopia, and to be honest I have to be more fair with this because I understand where they came from, as my family is old South.

My dad refused to fight the white man's war in Vietnam, at 18 he was going to take my mother and make a run for Canada if he got drafted. She was down. Still is haha.

I tend to latch onto a few games (favorite genre is roguelikes) which I will play for extremely long stretches as I seek mastery, only pausing for new releases that catch my eye. So having a trove of games into which I can dive, offers little to no value when I stick to 4 or 5 games and then mix in the major RPGs as they drop. There is also that I almost always take long breaks during playthroughs as I get distracted. When Jedi Fallen Order recently was announced for GP, I instead bought it during the Steam sale for ~$20, as I wasn't sure how quickly I'd get into it, and I've now played for about 5 minutes.

According to Techpowerup, 3060 Ti is a 27% increase at 1080p, 33% at 1440p and 39% at 4K, I'm not sure you'd be buying into much value.
In your shoes (for record I have a 2080), I'd wait out the cross-gen period and buy whatever is out then, as you'll get a far greater performance increase and likely more VRAM.
ThreadRTX 3060 Ti is launching this Wednesday (2-December-2020) at $399.99
You're looking at this like the successor to the 1660 Ti, when it's really like if there had been an RTX 2060 Ti that was a cut down 2070. This is a lesser x070 card, essentially, the numbers don't matter as much as the tiers.
In fact, I have to ask, how many x60 Ti releases are you basing your opinion on, exactly?

You're basically saying they should continue to remain in power and be afforded the opportunities to do harm to those they hate, because hey, the products they create are good?
Are we really equating evil to merely "backwards ass thinking", with all of the damage it does on a daily basis? I have to ask, have you lost your mind? "Fuck black people", for example, is not an inalienable right. They believe it is, but you're broken if you've accepted that as reality. Thinking turns into action, you have to be completely naïve to believe that it is confined to Twitter posts and thought exercises.

ThreadSaGa Frontier Remastered announced for PS4 / Switch / PC / mobile, coming summer 2021, Fuse added as a playable character
Every genre with movement on the screen is better has higher framerates. And there's no reason for the strange 30fps caps they've been having on the previous SaGa remasters anyway, when the SNES games ran at 60fps.
Shopping for 1440p G-Sync monitors convinced me to buy the smallest TV that checks the same boxes. There just no way I'm going to justify (to myself) spending $1k+ on a monitor that's 27" when I could have a comparatively monstrous 48" OLED.
The high-end monitor game is for people who exist in a completely different bracket of economic gain than I do, and I can accept that.
Me, I'll be buying 2021's revision of the 48" LG CX, hoping the Gen 1 HDMI 2.1 irregularities are solved.
ThreadBorderlands 3 is Quietly a Solid Next Gen Launch Title
So this "next-gen update" really seems to outperform the PC version that significantly, huh?
I wonder if the PC side could get a performance update then. I'm really curious as to how the consoles are managing 120fps.
The G14 really is unmatched as a portable gaming device. The only knocks are the screen's response time and the inconsistency in whether you receive one with an even keyboard backlighting.You'll want this.
That's just an example, not a recommendation. Shop around for one you like.Deill is kinda like Amazon in a way. They're so big that sometimes they'll send whatever is in stock just to resolve the matter quickly.
So what did you have and what kind of upgrade is it?
Yes, just one more 8GB stick would be best.
Watch this Jarrod's Tech video to see why dual channel is so important for gaming:
The bechmarks speak for themselves.
Nice, that CPU upgrade is freaking massive, will do you well with the next-gen games.
The screen is just as significant of an upgrade too, in my view. A great display makes everything more pleasant, just the day to day experience.
Will this be your first high refresh rate display?
The M15 has the far better screen, as the G14's slow refresh rate causes ghosting.Which can you actually afford? That pretty much determines everything.There are a bunch of RTX 2060 equipped laptops on Amazon around £1,200 or less:That was $1099? Damn good deal, it's showing $1499 now.
The keyboard is fully customizable, by the way. You can set it to a single solid color.I didn't see much mindblowing stuff either.
Whether it bothers you is YMMV. The G14 is obviously the most popular mobile gaming laptop right now so plenty of people don't care.
I know made a video comparing the screens of the G14 and M15.
The mobile 1650 is pretty close to the GTX 1060, just to give you a relative idea. You're definitely be playing PS4 games well at 1080p.You should be fine, though I'd try to find an identical RAM stick if possible.The 2060 is absolutely worth the extra money, for longevity's sake.A single 16GB stick paired with the 8GB stick means you won't have dual channel though.Can you do £699.00?No one has better CS than Dell/Alienware. Sending someone to your home is pretty much the win.Finding those specs within your budget, you take it and run the CPU/GPU on balanced profile so the temps/noise stay down.
Go with the 1650 and you'll be wanting to upgrade in a year anyway.I'm mad skeptical of RTX 3060 SKUs being anywhere near $1k on day one. Nvidia also said the RTX 2060 would be available for $999 in 2020 laptops, and that never really came to fruition.
Nvidia can "suggest" it, but I expect $1,199 as usual.
No, hell no. I've extensively experimented with those copper heatsink/shims in the past and they do not improve cooling at all.
I guarantee that upgrading the thermal paste on your CPU/GPU should be the first thing you do.
Look up a video on replacing the thermal paste, and do that. It will change your life.I have no faith in AMD having a reasonable release schedule for a mobile RDNA2.
Nvidia will be showing laptops at CES in a couple months. We'll be lucky if AMD comes to the table by next summer.
I'll be glad if AMD proves me wrong this time. They haven't been relevant in laptops since 2011. Ironically, that was the year of the Radeon HD 6000M Series. I chose the HD 6970M over the GTX 485M that year. Great GPU.
Let's see if life really does come full circle.
The 5nm GPUs coming in Q1 of 2023 are currently my targeted time to upgrade. I also have an i7-9700K and RTX 2080 in my laptop though, so the wait if nothing for me.
I had it saved. Here's a Firestrike score I was sent for the 5700M at stock clocks:
That's right about the same as the mobile RTX 2070 Super, and it's $180 less to choose in the configuration versus that GPU.
I hope to God that AMD can use the 5000 series to do series damage to Intel's strangle hole on the gaming laptop market. It's ridiculous how little improvement we've seen over the past decade.
Oh and the actually did make it into the Alienware Area-51M R2's configurator. I know one person who has one configured with it; the 5700M performs about exactly as a desktop RX 5700 (non-XT), as it should as the specs are identical.
Shame they couldn't get that out to the masses like 8 months ago, the RX 5700 is a damn good GPU.I've never used Throttlestop in my life. I do apply a small undervolt with Intel XTU.
In the $500-$600 range, you should be looking for a GTX 1650 equipped machine for light gaming.Oh yes, I've been praying for 1440p/120fps+ panels foe YEARS.
By the time I next upgrade my laptop (waiting for 5nm RTX 4000 series), I'll definitely be in the market for something like that.Good news: Undervolting can't damage your laptop. If you go to far, the laptop reboots and resets the setting, and you back it down until you find the stable voltage. No damage can be done.
Overvolting in an entirely different story, but this is not that. You'll never break a CPU/GPU by taking power from it.

ThreadRUMOR: RTX 3080 Ti [paper] launching in January 2021
Nvidia pretty much fucked up the product stack this time. The 3090 and 3080 Ti are pointless if they are minimal raster improvements, and just dangle higher VRAM for the fish to bite.
Should've just dropped a 3080 20GB, then waited until you could release a higher tier SKU that would offer at least a 20% performance boost along with whatever VRAM brings the boys and girls to the yard.
Having three cards within 15% of each other, but price a variance of $800, is just... amateurish. This is why I still kinda don't believe these 3080 Ti rumors. Again, how can you release a better value 3090, with 3090 orders still pending in the channel? This makes no sense from a business or PR perspective. You knew all along that AMD was going to compete and undercut your SKU, so why make the blunder of pricing at $1,499 in the first place?
Respond to AMD? You didn't forecast this from the beginning? Did someone fuck up?

ThreadDigital Foundry CoD: Black Ops Cold War - Ps5 vs Series X vs Series S
They NEVER said same GPU.
They clearly said it was a 4TF console. To be honest, anyone who thought a 4TF console would have the same graphics as a 12TF console, just because the resolution was lower, misled themselves and just didn't do any research on how GPUs work. That has never been the case for GPUs with such a gulf between them in realm of desktop GPUs.
Blaming Microsoft for one's own ignorance only travels so far. The information is out there to be found and anyone who hangs out on Era has heard it said a thousand times.

Again, if people around you smell it, why don't YOU, at that very moment?
A real issue here is that you are hiding your real life from your therapist. How much of what you've said in this thread regarding odor and public reaction had you shared with her? Tell her you think she went to remote calls because of your smell, see what she says. You say you are afraid of her saying it's true, but what if she actually states the exact opposite? If she honestly says that had nothing to do with it and there was no smell, will you believe, or put her in the box of people who are lying to spare your feelings?

You've been in the direct presence of multiple doctors whose job it is to be in your mouth. Did one of them say, "Wow, yeah, there is something really bad going on here."

If it's as bad as your perception tells you, wouldn't the dentist have had trouble seeing you at close range? And have you actually the therapist why she's doing remote visits.
Listen, you very well could have a health issue. A bunch of us on the internet who can't smell you aren't going to help at all to placate your conflict of whether you are the worst smelling person ever or imagining things.
What I can say is that I spent decades suffering with an undiagnosed, acute anxiety disorder. which cause huge social paranoia within me. I felt everyone in my vicinity was paying attention to and reacting to everything I did. How was I supposed to know they weren't? I was already filling in the blanks in my minds. This person moved this way because of that,, this other person must have noticed this, literally everyone in the room was criticizing my every move.
When I read the part where you said people 40 feet away are reacting to your smell, that really resonated with me, and my past life. My radius of paranoia spread hundreds of feet, like the size of a cafeteria. But, like, my therapist who helped me come back to reality once said, what are the odds that people in such a large area really have the time to pay attention to you? They are busy living and worrying about their own lives. Try really paying attention to what they are doing, are they really paying you any mind?
If your smell had a 40 foot radius, wouldn't ground zero (you) smell like an absolute dumpster at all times, enough to make even you vomit?
Again, I'm not trying to discredit your issue of having bad breath, I'm not there. But if you breathe into your hand, does it smell really really bad? Don't you smell it while breathing into your mask?

Budget? That's an important piece of giving advice. RTX 30 is coming in Q1 of next year. He should sit on the 1660 Ti until then to be honest. Why does he want to upgrade?
A budget of $1k isn't going to get a much faster GPU at all. RTX 2070s won't be going for a grand on Black Friday. Maybe RTX 2060, but is that even worth it? Access to DLSS would be great, sure, but I'd put that money toward an RTX 3060 laptop in the new year.
RTX 3060 will be pushing RTX 2070 Super, maybe even RTX 2080 performance levels.The prices being what they are, and the new consoles having the 8-core Ryzen CPUs they do, is why I am saying Ryzen 7 4800H or i7-10875H is the CPU target. You want to be on equal footing to ensure longevity.
For a powerful laptop sure. The i5-9300H + GTX 1650 is lower mid-range by current-gen standard. By next-gen standards its below minimum system requirements for next-gen exclusives, barring indie games.
This ~2 year cross-gen period shouldn't be an issue but after that it's going to be a rough road for these components..
For example, the GTX 1650 is the minimum GPU in for Watch Dogs: Legion.
I'd wait until the full scope of Black Friday deals are in view. I'll keep an eye out.Honestly the one that's in stock with dual channel 16GB RAM is the one I was talking about. It's the better buy for not much more as you'd need to add RAM to the other model to get full performance out of it anyway.
Dual channel is a big deal especially with Ryzen CPUs.
I would consider something .
In fact, just searching I see a few laptops around or below your budget with this much faster GPU, at least 6-core CPUs and SSDs, versus the quad cores and HDDs Novatech is offeing.
Less than $500 for a dedicated GPU will always be a decent deal, as long as your expectations on longevity are in check.
If your main gaming platform will be PS5 you should be fine.
No prob. Sometimes you need knowledge.
The GTX 1650 is faster than a GTX 1060, so you are getting a huge boost over the 1050.The TUF does have the really poor screen (45% NTSC coverage) with washed out colors. I'd call that the fall back option as the specs are perfect otherwise.
The G15 is itself a good machine but the i7-10750H is a mediocre CPU. The i7-10875H is really the CPU to aim for in my opinion, IF the budget allows.
The Lenovo Legion gets the same treatment as the G15.
The Aftershock Vapor has super good specs for the price, which is why I wouldn't accept less than the 10875H from these other similarly priced machines based around Intel CPUs.

I'm confused as to how people expected CDPR to commit to having support for an architecture they hadn't touched, and for GPUs that at the time weren't even going to be in consumer hand when the game launched.The thing is, if anything they've had RT capable Nvidia GPUs in their hands for literal YEARS longer than they have AMD's.

Then go back to 60Hz and you'll immediately see the difference.I've been living on a 240Hz/3ms display for a year now. Let me tell you, there is absolutely a difference. 120fps on the Blur Buster test isn't quite stuttering but it looks subpar. The screen is so damn fluid that I am spoiled. Of course only indie type game run over 200fps, buy goddamn is it special. Even playing something like Slay the Spire feels nice because it's so much mouse movement and the card movement and screen animations are all at 240fps.
I just had to survive on a 60Hz display for a month and whew it was I just got my main laptop (i7-9700K + RTX 2080 desktop replacement monster) back two days ago and now I'm back in 240Hz heaven. I have them side by side and Jesus the difference between 60Hz and 240Hz is jarring.

I feel like we're completely ignoring how PC GPUs age. Running today's games at high fidelity 60fps is not the same as expecting it from what is releasing 5 years from now. Even the RTX 3080 won't last forever.
Are you willing to accept medium settings for your 60fps, or do you expect the fantasy of no compromises to actually come to fruition? PC gamers make the choice of dropping setting as their systems age, while we've never seen console developers willing to offer such a thing. Which do you think they'll sacrifice first, framerate or image quality? It's a self-evident reality, why consoles have been stuck at 30fps in the first place.

Videocardz is getting sloppy, starting to just report on every single rumor. I guess the WCCF model is too lucrative.

Regarding the SSDs, it comes down to whether it's worth manufacturing that many SKUs and having that many on shelves. A 119GB proprietary device just isn't going to sell enough to be worth producing; the percentage of expansion is too low to market.

It's been a huge upgrade and I don't regret it in the end, but I would've love a crystal ball back then.
Now I hold the 2080 and wait for the RTX 4080.
The Spiderman was funny because I'm like, hmm the Twitter vid is only 29 secs we're running out of time here.
Then I'm like, . Only needed a second to get the point across.
I have played it a little bit but haven't really tried to learn the game.
First run made the mistake of trading my legs for some kind of hover platform without enough energy.
Second run I had a pretty good set up, but messed with a terminal and accidently set off some alarm and got swarmed. Oops.I've been keeping track of it. I'll see how it is once it comes out of EA, but Jupiter Hell is far more shallow than what I'm seeking.
Only got to play Tobal No. 1 as a kid, but I was to to the Quest Mode. Like I would play it for weeks on end.
Huh, was that my first roguelike and I didn't realize it?
ThreadCapcom: DMC5SE supports ray tracing on Series X, not on Series S
And its GPU does support and be able to do ray tracing, in .
You just shouldn't be surprised when a game that pushes the Series X to 1080p is a non-starter on the Series S.
There is no deception at play in the marketing.

I'm not sure I'd put a blatant racist and a clickbait content creator in the same "level of trust box", but ok.
I guess we'll see how he behaves from here on out.

If he goes on to promote future gacha games, I'll know he's full of shit with this moment.
Feel free to @ me when that happens and I'll eat the pile of shit that's on the plate.

Dude cries from guilt of potentially enticing people into gambling addition.
Reaction: "Look at this dramatic asshole."
Seriously, what the fuck am I reading?
So an with Max ray tracing on Turing GPUs. I see nothing with which to be disappointed, assuming the real game reflects the benchmark and it completely fugazi like Horizon Zero Dawn's.
ThreadGodfall 101 through GIFs (a GIF-heavy hype thread)
I am warhammers all the way.
The Surge 2 has had (imo) the best hammer gameplay of any action game so far, let's see how this one measures up.
I'm also wondering when the PC system requirements are going to drop. I'm hoping my 9700K + RTX 2080 can do 120fps @ 1080p.
You seem completely ignorant to how demanding native 4K resolution is, still.
We have not reached the point where GPU rasterization has surpassed the demands of 3840 x 2160, especially not in open world games.
As always in modern open world games, the Ultra preset will have some specific setting that is tanking the framerate by 20-30%, and lowering it will barely affect visuals while massively improving the framerate.
ThreadNeed help finding a suitable USB DAC for PS5
There's no need to spend more than $50-$75 on a DAC when your headphones don't justify the expenditure. You don't need a separate DAC and Amp to drive the HD 599, it's overkill.
Wait to find out what is compatible and spend on the low end.
I've known Joe B was better than Baker since he was balling at LSU, but damn he's making it clear today.
Look guys and gals, Bake has to be playing for his job in this second half.
