    goin through the Hp store customize options again.  is there much of a performance difference between 3.6  and  4.0 Ghz?

    these are the graphic options to choose from

     

    iz been a whole week since i did my tax return, no moola yet.  burning a hole in my pocket, chicken before the egg, have eggs been laid yet 

    ...for CPU rendering, the higher the speed, the better.  Just make sure that it isn't an "overclocked" rating.

    I'd definitely go for the 500w PSU.  If you can swing it, I'd also opt for the Nvidia GTX 745 even though you are not doing GPU rendering. When working on big scenes (like using a Howie Farkes' set), moving the camera and trasnitioning figures/props can get really sluggish.

    What Intel's integrated graphics does is swap from your physical memory to drive your display while a dedicated card uses it's own memory. 

    The GTX745 also supports OpenGL 4.4 (which is the language used to drive the viewport display in "working  mode") as well as HD resolution and BlueRay (important if you also want to watch films on your system).

     

    the Sony vegas video editor has minimum gpu requirements.  another 100 bucks. >.< for the 745  
    dont understand why the radeon is so much more. is only 2gb

    You ought to look into the free compositing software from Blackmagic um I gone blank but is free and will let you write video from individual frames, which is what you will want to do when you get into it :)

    I guess you don't have much to say about the current topics.  Meh, neither do I, really.  Glad you're still hanging around, though!

    Oh, that's what you meant.  From the wording of the original statement I thought you had, on a whim, decided to make a mistake.  I know I do that once in a while.  Being perfect gets boring so sometimes just for the fun of it and to see if people are awake I make a mistake. devil

     

  • Sfariah DSfariah D Posts: 26,429

    yeah and I somehow locked myself out of my B&N account so I have to wait half an hour to log into it. well apparently on my tablet I have to wait.  I also got the new tablet because I remembered I wanted something on google play but now I cannot remember what it was.

    From personal experience I can tell you that putting your underwear on last is too obvious and not much of a challenge for even the sleepiest of observers. frown (Unless your name is Madonna or Lady Gaga.)

    the perils of layering up clothing for the cold weather.  i put on 3 shirts before putting my coat on.  then got an itch under my shoulder couldn't reach.

    i don't want windows 10.  

    thinkin of goin imac i7 for my next machine. utltimately want the final cut pro on it.  have no idea how ot use a mac, it has right-click?

  • McGyverMcGyver Posts: 7,064

    No NVIDIA for iMac. I used to like Mac, but they nickeled and dimed away my good will... I only recommend them as playthings now... They don't seem to be geared towards serious use... More like iPads on a stand now.  Maybe the Pro machines are still serious, but no NVIDIA there either, no more open GL... Too much trying to control and funnel the user into their plans... No thanks,anymore.

    Cold, snowy day.   Spending my day sorting and indexing my CD collection while sipping hot cocoa and listening to snatches of things.  Rediscovered one of my favorite dark mood amplifiers; Rachmaninoff's 1st Symphony.  heart   Not a namby-pamby dance or love song, it's sophisticated mental anguish, life's dark side. 

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO-09g9oU58

    The beginning drops you straight into the depths of darkness overcome by terror and chaos, you fight and almost stop a few times but are unable to control your fall till you hit bottom at the end of the movement. 

    The 2nd movement @ 13:50 is relief from the chaos and depression and terror of the fall of the 1st movement and is perhaps memories of a better time with glimpses of the impending darkness. 

    The 3rd movement @ 21:00 is peaceful drifting, blissful ignorance of the turmoil of reality.  Quietude, a soul at peace.  Then the darkness drifts in and out like a fog but under control.

    The final movement @ 29:55 thrusts you from the depths back into the light, emboldened by memories and wisdom you rise above the chaos letting it flow through you without effect, seeing the pattern in it all.  Conquering destiny.

    This is such a beautiful piece it's a shame that it's first performance was so badly panned because of a drunken conductor and an audience unprepared for Rachmaninoff's darkness.  Rachmaninoff left Russia in 1917 because of the revolution and the score was lost for over 25 years.  He didn't compose another symphony for 10 years after the debacle of the 1st.

    Another dark moody but hopeful piece of his is the single movement symphonic poem "Isle of the Dead" representing the boat ride of the soul crossing the river Styx. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbbtmskCRUY

    These pieces are so different from his greatly popular piano concertos and his 2nd and 3rd symphonies.  He knew how to compose darkness but the public wasn't ready for it.

    complaint - looking up my motherboards slots

    2 x PCI-e x 1
    1 x PCI-e x 16

    but the graphics cards on amazon says stuff like:
    PCI Express 3.0 x16

    how important is that 3.0 number?

  • hphoenixhphoenix Posts: 1,335
    edited February 2016

    PCI Express has had several 'versions'.  1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0....

    Each one has maintained backwards compatibility with the prior ones.  The higher the number, the more bandwidth and speed it supports.

    But to ease your worries, A PCI-E 3.0 card will work in a PCI-E 2.0 slot.  Or a PCI-E 1.0 slot.  But it won't run as fast as it could in a newer (higher version number) slot.

    edit to add:  The x1, x4, x8, x16 numbers represent the number of IO lanes the slot supports.  And by virtue of that (to some extent) the form-factor of the slot (x1 and x4 slots are very short, and you can't plug a full size (x8, x16) slot into them.

    yeah you just toss out the apple mouse and plug in a microsoft one or option-click for right mouse click if you can't. Um need a bit of grunt to run FC, not sure what the cutoff would be there. I got a pair of D700s in one mac and it runs great :)
