  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Best I can do is TI-86.

    The graphics card in my laptop lets me play Megabonk and Dead Cells and Shotgun King. Do I need anything more than that?

    I mean, terraria, avorion, elden ring, vampire survivors, castle crashers, spiderheck, binding of isaac, few nights more, crying suns (if you're a masochist), ultimate chicken horse, and of course, a party game like keep talking and no one explodes.

    Same, I've been saying I'll upgrade when the prices become sane since shortly before the asteroid hit and killed off the dinosaurs.

    But, it's amazing how well the 1080 has aged. I can still play most of the games I want to at 1440p while still keeping the frame rate at at least 60 fps average, and only rarely dipping below 40. Admittedly, I sometimes do have to turn down the graphics settings, but not so they're immersionly-breakingly-bad.

    My next card will definitely be AMD, but I want to make it a good one. So, I'm annoyed that the 9000 series didn't even have an "enthusiast" tier.

    [–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

    That I agree. I'm eyeing for AMD cards for some time too, especially after Nvidia stopped updating drivers for 10xx series. However if I sell 1080, it can barely cover something similar from AMD, so I'll wait longer it seems since I want this to be an actual upgrade.

    Had a 2080 Ti until recently. I've only paid once for a new GPU in my life - a 1070 when we were gonna get millionaires on crypto mining. Gave it to a friend's kid when I found that cheap 2080 Ti.

    I've got a 1060 sitting in my server, forever waiting for an upgrade (It'll inherit the 3060ti in my desktop whenever that gets an upgrade)
