gave up on owning printers years ago as i print stuff so infrequently that the ink will get used maybe once or twice before it's all dried up. far cheaper to do it in the library or whererever. ridiculous that the ink cost more than the printer itself.

(they got their kepler and pascal mixed up) it's not like they'll get rid of sata anytime soon, is it? hdd will still be in use, until big ssd is more economical. we've all read about those huge ssd drives that are coming. but i don't see them being cheap.

jafo did say the update this summer slowed one (more?) of his machines down. i'm assuming the w10 you grabbed would be the one with the update.. so maybe that's the reason?

so what happened to the impulse's infrastructure? we all know gamestop didn't do much with impulse.. but what about the infrastructure? anyway. like you said, for electric vehicles to get anywhere, they need chargers everywhere. they'll also have to be fairly standardised so that it works on everything, since it's idiotic to have multiple charging stations that only works on certain things. would tesla be viable licensing out their

480/470/460 are the polaris cards. i don't think there's much point buying older stuff given the leap in performance at relative lower cost. if you are buying stuff, assuming you get the temp fixed, then you just have to decide whether to go amd or nvidia (1060 or the slower/cheaper 1050 when it's released). just a matter of how much money you want to spend at that time. (stuff comes out all the time)

put this way. the cards that amd released this summer (polaris) are not aimed at the top performance market occupied by 1080/1070. supposedly vega is aimed at that segment. i think the 480 is cheaper than 1060 but less power efficient and less powerful. the 1060 is around or just shy of 980 performance, but cheaper.

i didn't recommend anything XD i just quoted the min sys req of that game from their site (quick google. i don't have that game, didn't read details). which seems to suggest the gfx card is above the min sys req what does the min mean? maybe not high settings. which is why i asked if you tried lowering settings (say.. to low or medium or something) as for cpu comparison. i don't really know anything about it. i did a quick google and saw the benchmark graphs in

only thing i can say is that i have a 4k monitor where i only use the 4k for desktop stuff X i do games in 1080 or occasionally 1440. i even set the dpi to zoom in so the desktop looks like 1080 in size. a right pain when i exit fullscreen games (most?) as it'll usually screw up the resolution of (file) explorer and browser.. especially after not sure which update it was in win10... everything looks tiny until i relaunch the browser/(file) explorer maybe it's ju

hmm, that long ago, i don't know then. i had a look at a relative's machine. he upgraded from win8.1 in late july. his version is 1511 (threshold 2). the 1607 update hasn't popped for him yet (did a manual check just before i saw your reply.). mind you. at least he wasn't on 1507 (the one from last summer) reason i asked... was that around the time when 1511 came out, i read somewhere that people going from 7/8.1 wasn't given the 1511 update, but had to sti

[quote who="Avatar137" reply="42" id="3645446"] I hadn't heard about this "anniversary Update" before. I checked my machines and none of them have updated to it. Even when I have them check for updates they all say they are up to date... Not that I'm in any hurry to have MS screw with my systems some more but thought this odd based on reading others here have it, not counting those that did the manual install. [/quote] odd thought. did you upgrade to win10 (from 7/8
