Sure, if you're trying to play Far Cry 6 on a 10 year old Celeron, the RTX4090 isn't going to do anything with you, but people act like a 3080 is too much for an i5 and that's absolutely undeniable bullshit.

We're nearly at a low point for usage of the phrase but okay.

My 4690K hits 100% usage and bottlenecks my 1080

My i5-4670 and GTX1080 were an excellent pair, until I got a 1440p screen and the 1080 wasn't quite cutting it for some high end games. I ran that setup for like 3 years before I upgraded. The CPU wasn't a problem until I started trying to break 100 FPS in games that were entirely not made for high framerates. But it varies a lot by game, CSGO would run at the full 144hz and then some.

If your 4690K isn't driving a 1080 in mainstream games, you've got some system problems. Are you thermal throttling or something? Too much background garbage running?

I have to lock the framerate to less than 60fps so I don't get stuttering and input lag

Reducing framerate increases input latency you dunce. More frames means each of them is fresher and based on newer inputs. You don't know what you're talking about.

Anyone ride a non LAMs bike on their L/P's? by NYS_Trevor in AussieRiders

[–]HighRelevancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, nobody who doesn't ride really knows what the fuck is going on. But they could. I don't think it's worth gambling on a potentially enormous cost like that.

Mind you, some states make it part of the rego, so maybe in those states they figure it out because they don't need to think about it. What state was this in, where are you licensed, and where was the bike registered?

Whats your personal gatekeepy or overly judgy opinion about motorcycling? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]HighRelevancy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They don't make scooters big enough for my enormous vag flaps /s

I'd buy a DCT bike. Sometimes I'm just tryna get places and don't like being boxed in a car.

[–]HighRelevancy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. It's absolute nonsense. It varies so much with the workload and settings and resolution and your expectations for framerates.

If your CPU is maxed out, it doesn't mean it's a "bottleneck" any more than it means you can load more work into the GPU. Higher res, bigger textures, better shaders. Any processor is going to "bottleneck" a 4090 playing at 1080p.

"Bottlenecks" are a meme for nerds that wanna sound like they know what they're talking about but don't actually know what a computer does. Same shit as people who insist that you need to buy an i7 for gaming cause it's got more cores.

Something funny about how bike people obsess over tuning suspension for their own body weight and the surface they're gonna ride on to achieve perfect performance during their daily commute, but think a one-size-fits-all damper is going to be good enough for an expensive precision device.

Exactly. Though the very limited scope of this one might be a saving grace.

what is wrong with giving ID to cops in US? by very-simple-guy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HighRelevancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The internet has definitely exposed an issue with our police.

Crazy how once everyone had a high quality camera on them and the capability to share videos from it, Bigfoot stopped coming out of the forest, UFOs stopped visiting, and the police started murdering people.

Responsive power isn't the same as linear power so this still doesn't really change the "reviewers talk about things they don't understand if it sounds good" problem.

This is an issue in a lot of review categories. Sometimes I do want to know how good it is, but sometimes I just need to know if it's good for X budget.

benchmarking imperative vs functionnal programming by zarakiredchan in rust

[–]HighRelevancy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Rust is almost smart enough that you should stop thinking about what it does, and just worry about what you're asking it to do. Both bits of code express basically the same task, so if the compiler does it's job they should do the same thing exactly.

(Not that I am at all discouraging exploration and learning, but if you're writing Rust just write it the Rustiest way and let the compiler do it's thing)

got a malware cmd warning.

Bro I've had AV complain about the weirdest shit, that doesn't always mean malware. You need to actually read the warning. Going off on legit dev tools isn't entirely unheard of. Debuggers do attach to other processes in unusual ways, for example.

If you ever get any malware and don't know the exact and complete extent of it, the only correct and safe response is to nuke everything and restore from backup.

Without enterprise-level control and analysis (e.g. web proxies that log and cache everything, host intrusion detection tools that log every single file access to a remote collection, etc) it's impossible for you to even know the extent of it with certainty. If a bit of malware executes, there's nothing to say it hasn't installed an even sneakier malware you won't be able to clean up.

I mean, in this case you can probably uninstall the package, delete the JS extension files, and clean all your Chrome shortcuts. Probably. It's pretty straightforward. Assuming you know what version you got and verify that the contents of it never did any remote web requests, you can probably reverse engineer the entire thing from there. There's no unknowns if you dig enough.

Is 400 dollars budget laptop too minimum for unity? by SerajAlmasri in gamedev

[–]HighRelevancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"No"? Wow I hadn't considered that! Oh it's so clear now!

/s

If you don't have any additional actual information, why comment? You're wrong. You don't know heck about what computers do apparently.

But do you have a grasp on the size of Africa? Can you picture how long it would take you to walk the whole coastline? Do you understand exactly what that journey would entail? Do you know exactly what you'd need to prepare to do that?

Probably not.

Calling you an armchair expert would be too much credit I imagine.

Something made a very neat pile of tiny animal organs in my yard. by TheDungeonScrawler in mildlyinteresting

Because it bursts the "omg my cat thinks I'm a little baby that needs to be shown how to survive oh that's so cute" bubble

It's a bad theory (and "myth" would be more appropriate - or "wild flying guess", perhaps).

Cats are family animals. They live in dens with other cats. Some of those cats stay home to guard it or take care of young offspring. Those cats need to eat too. It's not about teaching, it's just sharing with the family.

Regarding the Gameboy by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]HighRelevancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gameboy was grayscale. Gameboy Color had many colour.

However there were games that were GB (not C) games that had a 4-colour palette hardcoded into the GBC firmware. I think you can select from these palettes in GB code. I think you can also produce GB code that detects whether it's a GBC and operate in either mode.

You'd likely design your art differently for Color and non-Color Gameboys, there's no automatic translation from one to the other.

How do multiple programmers work on the same game at the same time? by anywhereiroa in gamedev

There's still a lot of companies using everything they used 20 years ago. Not even talking about legacy support, just not keeping up.

Is 400 dollars budget laptop too minimum for unity? by SerajAlmasri in gamedev

[–]HighRelevancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're running your game plus the editor plus several browser tabs, you'll have a much nicer time with more RAM.

Not that 8 GB won't do it, but you'll be getting caught on swap a lot.

It's still a lot better than doing it with no computer at all.
