| * penguin42 found a HP elitebook in a Cash Generator for #120 - nice dual core i7 laptop (low res LCD but other than that) | 20:20 | |
| daftykins | first gen i7? | 20:22 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: No! | 20:24 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: i7-3520M | 20:24 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Radeon HD6xxx as well in it | 20:24 |
| daftykins | ah ha ivybridge | 20:28 |
| daftykins | AMD, boo :D | 20:28 |
| penguin42 | yep | 20:28 |
| daftykins | pretty good score though, toss in an SSD perhaps and you're laughing | 20:28 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Open drivers, can't argue | 20:28 |
| daftykins | well that's ok if your needs are basically drawing a desktop and not much else | 20:29 |
| daftykins | about all 'radeon' is good for ;D | 20:29 |
| penguin42 | (which actually all I do) but why? The HD6xxx is pretty decent isn't it ? | 20:29 |
| daftykins | nah pretty much everything HD 7xxx and below is EOL now | 20:31 |
| penguin42 | true, but it's a lot better than the HD4xxx in my current machine! | 20:33 |
| daftykins | amusingly that could be both an intel or AMD model | 20:34 |
| * hamitron is stuck on Ubuntu 14.04 because of his old AMD GPUs | 20:35 | |
| penguin42 | hamitron: Which one? | 20:35 |
| hamitron | 5870 | 20:36 |
| hamitron | x2 | 20:36 |
| penguin42 | that should be fine on newer | 20:36 |
| penguin42 | I'm running a 4250 on Fedora 26 | 20:36 |
| penguin42 | (open driver) | 20:36 |
| hamitron | it can run steam and games? | 20:36 |
| penguin42 | ah, not tried, I don't game | 20:36 |
| hamitron | I've also read the open driver does not support crossfire | 20:37 |
| hamitron | although tbh, 1 card is enough | 20:37 |
| daftykins | dump 'em and get something that outperforms by 10x for 10th the power :) | 20:47 |
| hamitron | I have better in other machines | 20:50 |
| * hamitron is a hoarder and loves to keep old hardware going | 20:51 | |
| daftykins | heh :) | 20:51 |
| daftykins | i get a bit attached to mine too | 20:51 |
| hamitron | 1 problem I find... being a gamer, I tend to have windows on my best machine | 20:52 |
| hamitron | then use linux on my "main" old rig | 20:52 |
| daftykins | wisest idea really | 20:53 |
| daftykins | what i don't get is when someone calls themselves a gamer but then cuts themselves out of the market by staying Linux only :> | 20:53 |
| hamitron | aye | 20:54 |
| hamitron | gotta use what is best for the task... for me that is linux for everything apart from gaming | 20:55 |
| daftykins | :> | 20:55 |
| hamitron | what I find frustrating, is when you have stats for game sales on linux looking poor, so that is used to justify not bothering publishing the newer games on linux | 20:56 |
| hamitron | when my purchase was originally on windows, but I benefit from the linux binaries | 20:57 |
| daftykins | bit of an egg and chicken sorta problem there ja | 20:59 |
| penguin42 | I think you mean a chicken and egg .... | 21:00 |
| daftykins | egg and penguin! :> | 21:01 |
| penguin42 | true | 21:01 |
| hamitron | :) | 21:04 |
| hamitron | do the AMDGPU drivers on older card like mine support opencl well? | 21:07 |
| hamitron | I suppose I could live without games and harness the power of the gpu that way | 21:08 |
| daftykins | you won't get amdgpu supporting anything EOL, so some 7xxx gen cards and below | 21:08 |
| hamitron | even without amdgpu pro? | 21:09 |
| daftykins | don't think much of anything is supported, but i haven't read any news for some time | 21:09 |
| daftykins | http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMDGPU-VRAM-D-Games | 21:10 |
| daftykins | o0 | 21:10 |
| daftykins | not even HDMI audio in yet XD what a laugh | 21:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | huzzah \o/ :-P | 21:13 |
| m0nkey_ | Louis is trolling. | 23:04 |
