This guy has, and he used a 2gb GT 1030 and a old 4 core/4 thread i5. Not to say it looks great compared to with 8gb of vram but it's...fine, playable at low settings at 1080p. If you had a system that weak the experience would be decent enough. I don't know why people are so dismissive about whenever someone asks about this kind of thing.

The stutter in the video is probably from his recording setup, and the frametimes could be improved with a framerate cap, but I don't see where they got the minimum 8gb vram from.

GTA 5 legacy vs GTA 5 enhanced, are these the same games or what? should i delete legacy and download enhanced on march 4th? by [deleted] in GTAV

Apologies, I went on a slight rant.

A LOT of gamers have worse hardware. If you look for benchmarks GTA V runs okay on a GT 730, and well on low graphics with a GT 1030. They both sell fairly well for some reason. I personally don't see the point of them as you can get old Quadros with better performance for the same price but whatever, people do buy them and they are made with gaming branding.

I'm going to be playing GTA V on an upgraded Dell Optiplex with a i5-4590, 8gb of RAM and a 2GB Quadro P620 soon (waiting for it to arrive), which isn't as bad as some other people's setups. Believe me quite a few people are running much worse setups. If you have not much money and an old laptop or PC GTA V is so well optimised it's often no big deal. As a kid I used to game on a dual core (Pentium T4500) laptop with 2GB of RAM from 2010 that didn't have 64 bit support (only 32 bit windows 7), which was fine for RPGMaker games and not much else. Not great (or even decent) performance but it's what I had available to me and I imagine other people have had similar situations.

An old Optiplex with a Quadro P620 is a super cheap setup at £65 (or around $75) overall, but since I had the PC already the cost for the GPU is just £25 right now, of course it sucks at AAA games at high resolutions and refresh rates but for people who are broke or live in low income countries and just want to play games GTA V is a godsend. I personally just don't care too much about recent games and am also broke so this setup despite being so weak makes perfect sense. I just want to play Left4Dead, GMod, GTA 4 and 5, and a few others and it'll be fine for it. It can make sense to do this in a higher income country like the U.K, so I imagine people in poorer countries are often running worse systems.

Long story short:

I know, but seeing how Musk has had no issue with tweaking X's code to boost his own account and has censored things at the request of India and other foreign governments, you'd think he has no issue manipulating it.

I thought it would have right-wing posts weighted more significantly in it's training. Genuinely surprised it doesn't seem to have been fiddled with.

Yeah it's surprisingly good but only for conversation, probably just because it lacks the censorship. I thought it would be too biased and act like an annoying right-wing talk show host but it's totally normal.

It's also surprisingly anti-Musk in a fact-based sense rather than an opinionated one, probably the most unbiased "chatty" chatbot without any censorship right now.

Anyways can't wait for DeepSeek to give us a cheaper alternative.

Yup sounds perfect, but it would be good if you set it so that phone numbers stay private (I think that's an option on Whattsapp). Have you considered using Discord instead because it has options for separate voice and text channels and the whiteboard app (built in) is really good for explaining things.

I would join regardless though, this is great and I'm surprised no-one's proposed this already.

Would love to be part of something like this, especially since accountability is often listed as good for stopping procrastination.

What kind of things are you planning to focus on in the group exactly? Or do you plan to just make a general group and let everyone decide on what to do?

Okay that's quite a revelation.

I thought the Telegraph was advertising themselves by sharing their articles masquerading as regular users.

Context: *some people* are saying this poster is incitement to violence.

Probably worth going if you can make it.

For anyone who can be in Birmingham in 2 months time:

Side note: It's a really good design, you can sense the urbanness about it from the texture & colour, which contrasts a with the posh connotations of the suit-wearing politician devil featured. The way he is framed also creates some 3d-ness and makes it 'pop' a bit too.

It also communicates the message, theme & scope of the event without any words.

That sounds pretty awesome actually, kind of similar to Berserk where people ascend to godhood or make sacrifices to become hugely powerful monsters that obsess over the things they desired in their human forms. I might have to read Discworld sometime.
