@garrlker
This then: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LU0UXA6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2HZO07BEY0RXK&coliid=I2AYRXBFRB7QH0 Do you already have a decent laptop? Is there a reason you want a windows tablet specifically?

Remove the cooler and thermal paste then cook it in an oven for awhile to reflow the solder. It works half the time. See google for details.

I need more maxwell benchmark results. I ordered a 960 online, will arrive in a couple of days. I don't think the rest of the family will let me put electronics in the oven to try it and it doesn't matter anymore to me, since no matter what it's going to be replaced now. 02-24-2015, 08:08 AM
When you do get it please test dolphin for GPU bottlenecks to see how it handles 6x IR (4K rendering). Post your results in this thread please: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-i-want-to-build-a-4k-dolphin-machine?page=6

It may have only 112GB/sec. of memory bandwidth, but it has color compression and an impressive pixel fillrate of 36 GPix./s The real test is: can it handle 8xIR / 5K res? (the R9 270 failed the test with 57/60 fps) 02-24-2015, 12:19 PM
That is an assumption based on tests done with PC games. You cannot say that for sure until you actually test it.

How did you record the framerate? Did you leave the camera still during the tests? And so on. Those numbers seem high for a 270 but since I have no idea what sort of tests you ran you may have tested a less demanding game/scene for all I know. You do this a lot. You pull numbers out of thin air with no context and treat them as universal fact. It annoys me greatly. If you do not so much as list your testing parameters then your data becomes totally useless. The difference in gpu requirements can easily vary by more than 10 fold from game to game. And just as much from scene to scene. I would wait to let him test before stating how fast the 960 is in dolphin.

Plus, it'd be nice to have a battery that lasts longer than 4-5 hours, not that that's bad just I'm constantly on the go during school weeks and my laptop barely lasts during my classes(we can use laptops in class, but we can't have devices plugged up in outlets). I've also been interested in seeing how linux performs on them, but from what I've read it's poor right now.

Which laptop is it? Depending on the plug size you might want to invest in either this: http://www.amazon.com/20000mAh-Multi-Voltage-Portable-External-Notebooks/dp/B00B45EOYS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1424745962&sr=8-3&keywords=laptop+battery+backup
or this: http://www.amazon.com/20000mAh-Aluminum-Multi-Voltage-PowerIQTM-Technology/dp/B005NGLTZQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1424745962&sr=8-7&keywords=laptop+battery+backup To charge it on the go.
