It both made me stop reading the article and it made me start thinking. But not enough to wanting to start a discussion about why he is/ has been so successful as an actor - it’s more about the people who like what he depicts than the man himself I guess.
In my opinion it is its limited suitability for (my) common image editing needs. I.e. add a white text with black border to an image.
But these are my requirements. The developers don’t have to cater to them if they don’t want to. I in turn can decide to not use the program or add the features I would like to see myself (It’s the former for me).
That is the way it is.
Edit: The name gimp was never an issue for me. There are far worse.
Seems like it’s a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. Do you think I should expect a significant bottleneck here? Enough to make the 4070 Super not worth it compared to the 4060ti?
If I understand it correctly, the pcie version affects the transfer speed for data (i.e. textures) between the system ram and the gpu ram, only. This shouldn’t affect game performance much if the gpu itself has enough RAM. When it has 12 or even 16GB I wouldn’t worry too much. The gpu doesn’t work slower if it doesn’t have to wait for data from the Mainboard.
I tried to figure the measurement the best I could, I hope I’m right. Can’t really say regarding cooling, is there really a way to know beforehand?
Measurements: 3 slots wide starting from the pcie slot measuring on the direction where the other slots are away from the cpu) . Height: Full height of a PCIe card. The limiting factor should be the length of the card.
Cooling: if there is a second 120mm case fan that blows warm air outside of the case (besides the one in the psu) you should be fine. If not: can you add one in the case? Mainboards often have one or more pin headers to connect the fan to (should be 4 pins). Just check the thermal sensor readings of gpu, CPU, board and add more fans if needed. ;) the pc can’t break, it just gets slower or in the worst case does a shutdown.
Thank you for the clarification. These points are indeed very similar to my thoughts (but I wouldn’t have been able to describe it so to the point. )
I like to think I managed to represent the Musk-like interaction in my previous reply; responding to your well built message with a snarky comment. Although, I think, I went too far with the dual interpretations.
I didn’t get that. So this part needed some explaining for me.
Why is your reply being down-voted
Maybe it is because I missed the sarcasm/ humour in your response. It’s hard to know if it isn’t written down as a response. :)
Pcie x16 slot? (you could look up in the board manual how fast it is - number of lanes and pcie version. But basically the standard is downwards compatible - newer cards work in older slots, but slower. )
Dimensions: does it fit in the case? Is the cooling (outtake of the case) sufficient?
Power supply ready? Check if the psu (power supply unit) delivers enough power to supply the new gpu. Check if there are the right plugs/ cables to feed the gpu - some require one 75w-connector, some even two.
