1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My 3770k and 780ti sc lasted me a long time, I really only retired it because Adobe dropped support for the GPU architecture

 

crunchy chip for a snack

 

Ground your ass too please.

That's a big drop, but corner damage is usually a tell tail for that, unless it was hammered into some tooling, that's pretty common too.

 

Instructions unclear, plug stuck in butt

 

For 1080P, nothing really pushes even a 3rd Gen Intel

But since you mentioned it, what does Adobe (whatever program you're using) rely on?

Does it use multiple threads or is it single thread based?

 

Most Adobe Creative cloud apps can run single threaded but they're optimized for four or more. I never had CPU related slowdowns though in Photoshop or Lightroom, but they both work a lot better if your GPU is compatible with the instruction sets they use or they end up running in a compatibility mode that relies on the CPU to take over some calculations. The thing is a CPU and a GPU work very differently so even a blazing fast i9 would still be noticeably slow in this mode. You need the parallel processing power of a GPU

 

Oh the thing you literally never need when handling bare computer components

 

Man, it's great you can do that

Fusion is single thread based and only utilizes GPU for output rendering (so if you're fucking with 3D modeling in manufacturing tab)

On the plus side, a nice strong I5 will run Fusion like butter

 

I throw it on during assembly, and normally touch something to ground myself before handling shit if I ain't wearing it

Is it helpful? I don't know

I took an elective class, Electronics 101 where we build circuits, etc in high-school and wearing one of these things just "stuck" to me

 

I don't think I've put on an ESD bracelet in a decade. Computer components are pretty moron proof.

 

Do things sound like they're going along better than the other interviews?

 

nahhh I honestly don't expect to get an offer for the one I'm doing a final round of 4 interviews for lol. they seem pretty picky TBH if I'm already 4 in and they want more. basically still at square one

 

Watching Tech Tangents eh, Shelby's vids are a good mix of technical and entertaining

 

Well fuck, that's shitty

Interview process like this pretty standard in your field?

 

It's crazy what you'd have to do back in the day to run multiple monitors; wasn't meant to be done at the consumer level anyway cause

 

Blessed art

 

How else would you ground yourself? The aux chord style isn't my favorite but the ESD butt plug grounds are expensive.

 

Building PCs IN my OF streaming...that's a great idea
