I hate it when I forget to set my H80i to high performance while rendering :v:
Had it in quiet mode, and suddenly noticed CPU being at ~97-100 C (~200-212f)
Yikes.
holy fucking shit somebody please put a gun to my head and kill me
Earlier in the thread I mentioned my GTX 770M was getting a shit score compared to a GT 840M and being disappointed about it, and somebody mentioned driver issues causing bad performance. So I re-installed my drivers from scratch not really expecting anything, and holy shit.
My benchmarks are now roughly 4-5x better than they were yesterday. [B]I spent the last two years erroneously assuming my GPU is shit.[/B]
How have you not updated drivers in 2 years.
[QUOTE=helifreak;50678379]How have you not updated drivers in 2 years.[/QUOTE]
You misunderstand; I've kept my drivers up to date. I always update them through GeForce Experience. I'm using the same version driver now as I was the last time I posted.
I had to reinstall the driver from scratch for some reason.
Litterally everytime I update my graphics drivers I do a clean install. I tried just updating them once or twice and it caused issues.
Shit I don't even reboot my computer when update my graphics drivers unless I'm having an issue :v:

They are just Laptop HDDs though.
Power button on my Asus router no longer sticks down, managed to stick a 5p coin on it and it appears to be holding but I'm going to have to go in and apply a more permanent fix. Ugh this router has been near perfect in reliability for two years now and here it is giving me shit.

Windows 10 and Chill knows no bounds.
Just ran into something neat in Assetto Corsa.
Third-party map, AI fails to drive a corner, so a bunch of other cars crashed into it.
Instead of the game locking up, the simulation slowed down, whilst the game was still accepting input and rendering just fine. I imagine they had to do that because it's the same engine as they use for their professional-level simulators.

They did it because the physics thread has a fixed deltatime, having jitter in the physics calculations makes it unstable.

Fuck yeah, good job.
According to PassMark scores, it's basically equivalent to an R7 260, that's still a really usable GPU in a laptop.

It's not very behind from a 960M either.

3+ years of usage, 5 fried hard drives, a burnt CPU, dead GPU and a burnt motherboard later my shitty used eBay Corsair TX550M committed sudoku today
good grief, finally I can be free of that 24/7 coil whine filling the room
You let the PSU destroy $650+ worth of stuff before replacing it?

I want to commit soduku over the last two years I've been playing games at 30fps when I didn't have to but fuck it at least now it's over
This fix came at a decent time, too. Ive been getting really ancy about wanting to upgrade, but I'm a year away from financially being able to do that. Now suddenly I have a GPU 4 to 5 times better than I did the last two years :v:
[QUOTE=nikomo;50680839]You let the PSU destroy $650+ worth of stuff before replacing it?[/QUOTE]
well it just took out the motherboard with it so the total tally is closer to $300 of part in used value or $100 actual cash spent
since my PC is just built from e-waste and remnants of bitcoin rigs anyway

does anyone have a shitty fm2 motherboard lying around that they'd be willing to sell
I am having a bit of an issue with thermal throttling on my GTX 770M now but I suspect that's nothing a well-needed dusting and a little re-application of thermal paste won't solve/alleviate. According to other owners the thermal paste in my laptop is practically non-existant.
What laptop is it?
Toshiba Qosmio x70-A, i7 4700MQ, GTX 770M, 8GB RAM.
They released the much thinner and lighter B model a year after I bought it >:(

I want to believe all Australians use vegemite as thermal paste due to the high cost of computer parts in their country

I had a drive with windows 10 on it on my laptop and for whatever reason i would never get above 33FPS no matter the settings so i wiped the drive and reinstalled, and now it's about 42fps. idk how to fix it as i've tried that multiple times.
[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;50682413]I want to believe all Australians use vegemite as thermal paste due to the high cost of computer parts in their country[/QUOTE]
Can confirm. Been using vegemite as thermal interface material as long as I can remember. Cooler came with that nonsense silvery shit pre applied but I scraped that shit off and fixed it up.
Re-applied thermal paste, dusted out the fan, made a small modification to the cooling system, now throttling is far less severe even with overclock. :ok:

Also worth noting that my GPU is an MXM card, so it's theoretically upgradable. Would be nice to have an 860M/960M, but I'm probably not gonna go for that unless I have a need for a mobile workstation/battlestation in the future.
This laptop is pretty lovely for exactly that purpose. Literally the only thing out-of-date in it is the GPU. Even has two hard drive bays, not including the optical drive bay.
