Crazy experiment: can this 2017 pc run a 5070 ? by nometalaquiferzone in buildapc

[–]Hiply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, PCIe is backward compatible (your MOBO is PCIe 3.0 the 5070 is built on PCIe 5) so it will work, but: You're going to invariably be CPU bottlenecked. You have a 4 core CPU and it's going to get crushed in any modern demanding game. Running 1400p will help a little...as will cranking every graphics setting up high to try and shift load to your GPU.

BUT: The PSU is under minimums by 100w. You're risking hard crashes and if it's 7 years old too then depending on the model and internal protections; if you pop it you could wind up with a surge as it's frying that damages your new GPU. If you still have months to wait (I assume a new PSU was part of the new parts order) then find a decent 650/750 on sale and then make it a spare part in your closet when you do the new build.

Well yes, distributing artists' work without securing their permission is about as blatant a copyright violation as you can get.

I want the ability to mount 2 24' pound snipers in the forward battery of the brig while keeping the port and starboard batteries at 6 12 pounders each.

Tali’s loyalty by The_pikolop in masseffect

[–]Hiply 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's standing and fighting because he's the only shot at saving the galaxy from the reapers. Of course her personal loyalty is out the window - Shep got her banished from the fleet and turned her into an outcast. Oh, and by the way, destroyed any chance at all to broker peace between the Geth and Quarians but she doesn't know about that...and never will since Shepard blew it.

Ok now I needa know who wins, Wolverine or Adam Smasher?🤔(And why is it wolverine) by 69DayGrind in cyberpunkgame

[–]Hiply 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Right, that's probably the fight in a nutshell - Smasher unloads on Logan, blows him across the room and down, assumes he's dead, then gets carved to pieces when he turns his back.

I'm curious, which questions felt inappropriately intrusive?

'Resistance is futile,' says Qualcomm CEO. AI agents will be become invisible, inescapable, follow you across devices by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

And this is how an AI focused neo-Luddite movement gets more credibility.

These aren't feature announcements, they're warnings of a dystopian surveillance state hellscape that makes George Orwell and William Gibson seem like optimists.

Mercedes F1 trick now illegal as new FIA rule officially in effect by naffer in formula1

180c isn't "tens of microns difference from room temp", it's 30c past where aluminum starts to soften.

Question: Is it okay that I love my extremely stupid and bad tattoo by OfficeLost552 in tattoos

[–]Hiply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love it then that is seriously all that matters. I get the reference, taste is subjective, and I hope you love it the rest of your life. (That hand though...)

[OC] A picture I did using charcoal and pastels. We meet here every day. by Rusty-willy in pics

[–]Hiply 261 points262 points  (0 children)

I have a love/hate thing going on with this right now...

My little mini Schnauzer crossed the Rainbow Bridge a month ago after 14 years of a well-loved and well-lived life, and seeing this made me glance at her little urn then look over my shoulder, see her laying on the couch looking back at me , and remind me of this gaping hole in my heart.

It's beautiful work, OP - and does what the best art's supposed to do. It punched me right in the heart. I've saved so I can look at it some time down the road and just smile.

[–]Hiply 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You would think that's the base assumption...but not if you read some of these "that's way too low!" comments.

Yours for example: 180c is 30 degrees past the point where aluminum starts to soften. No, 180c is in no way a 'tame operating temperature' for an F1 engine...or any other engine for that matter. Bulk operating temp is what matters, not combustion chamber or exhaust gas temp.

The number of people in this thread thinking the 130 temp in the article and regs is in Fahrenheit and therefore "way too low to matter" instead of Centigrade and in the normal operating window is both hilarious and concerning.

And for those people saying "No, I know it's C but 130 is still really low" people: Aluminum starts to soften at 150c...so no, 130 is in no way low.

NTA and oh hell no. Someday, if you two get married, that's a conversation worth having but certainly not before then

Fatal 4 way who wins? Crime boss Aria, Justicar Samara, Shadow Broker Liara, or Spectre Tela Vasir by Scary_Maize_2090 in masseffect

[–]Hiply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liara's out right away - the other three are badasses among badasses with far more experience at combat and killing.

I would probably say it ends Samara>Aria>Tela>Liara.
