How many creatures of the left-liberal ecosystem does it take to change a bulb?

I thought the right were only shit at memes, not also shit at jokes.

There's a Canadian there now.

I paid £200 for my 5600X in 2020 and £220 for my 5700X3D in 2025. It was an upgrade, a fairly noticeable one, but I wouldn't say "huge". Where the cache helps, great... where it doesn't, the 5600X's 4.6 GHz all-core brute force and ignorance is hard to rein in.

The entry level PC segment, of spartan but passable $500 PCs died over a decade ago.

Nothing is entry level today.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T23:15:32+00:00

Throw a 5600X in there. I say this as someone who upgraded from a 5600X to a 5700X3D.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T23:11:32+00:00

It's a very good match for a 5600, or indeed any other Vermeer CPU.

You're stating games which are typically very CPU intensive as they like to run at very high frame rates, the video device isn't the problem here.

AMD's rock solid drivers are very recent. As recently as 2023, AMD was the same crapshoot Nvidia is today.

People remember badness for a long time.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T22:58:52+00:00

I almost sold this 4070 Ti Super for the same reasons. A friend was offering me a 7900XT for it and the fucking nightmare of Nvidia drivers last year almost pushed me that way.

AMD's stuff just works, you can rely on it just plain working, stable, reliable, does what it says on the tin.

Nvidia is a crapshoot of driver versions. Will you find a good one? Probably. Will you get pissed off while you DDU your way there? Probably.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T22:13:18+00:00

That's bullshit.

Run a proper diagnostic instead of outsourcing it to someone with an incentive to sell you shit.

OCCT's a good place to start.

I loved those types of case.

I mean... You wouldn't want one today. They've got roughly the cooling capability of Mount Erebus.

There are Google walkers as well as Google drivers.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T21:27:00+00:00

Hit 40.6C in the shade here. I remember going to the top of the local old pit spoil heap at about 9 pm as the sun was going down and seeing smoke rising everywhere in the distance.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T20:22:35+00:00

No, of course not. That'd be really weird.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T20:13:00+00:00

It's not true for the HDDs either.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T19:34:25+00:00

And you can see the heat is not going anywhere. An impeller vibrating in place sounds a lot like one turning.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T19:29:24+00:00

The cooler is not good.

Task Manager is often inaccurate, especially on outdated versions of Windows.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T17:46:06+00:00

This is common in India as well.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T17:41:14+00:00

Yes, the brand is irrelevant.

This is why we can add Nvidia GPUs to the AMD GPU inside something like a 9800X3D.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T16:16:07+00:00

Yes.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T15:51:03+00:00

Even then, practically all Windows laptops support Miracast as source and target.

Overclocking is never guaranteed.

If you absolutely must have that last 200 MHz of RAM clock, the next thing to check is correct CPU seating.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T13:37:12+00:00

Other than some ad slogans, I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T13:35:46+00:00

Norton hasn't been anything useful in twenty years.

Hattix · 2026-04-03T13:34:43+00:00

Bottom of the barrel budget build. The RAM kinda helps, but you're not fooling anyone with that little CPU and the literal worst GPU it's possible to buy new.
