I know.
It was a joke.
God damn mathematicians.
You've destroyed the nunya elo memes before they even started.

You can make it up to me if you show me some stats. :D

nunya confirmed bottom 3 high team by Trueskill.

You're implying there's a chance we'll ever see medals.
Aliens are far more likely.

With a modmic 3, 4 or 5 chances are that your onboard sound will not have enough gain. You won't hear anything.
I mean your voice will be too quiet to understand.

No buzz on the 4 or 5 with a soundcard.

Obviously if your noise cancelling settings are fucked up or the soundcard is buzzing you'll have buzzing no matter which microphone you use.

Necromancy got nothing to do with magic, it's just a combination of grave desecration and puppeteering and neither of those professions want to be associated with them either.

What you think this poll measures:
Statistical distribution of main classes.

What this poll actually measures:
Likelihood of certain mains to participate in "What's your main?" polls.

Components as in everything but peripherals?
Overclocking yes/no?
Are you going for high or low settings?
When do you want to build it (Zen Hype is real)?

Never go by popularity, stupid decisions can be surprisingly popular.
Just check the GPU usage, but I'm guessing it won't go over 90%. If it's staying <90% you're not limited by the GPU.
200 fps sounds right for that CPU tbh.

#2134
Budget?

Don't try to figure that out. It'll just give you a headache.
TF2 is CPU bound, single thread bound beyond 2 cores + SMT / 3 cores (and that's only because OS and GPU driver still need to run).

CPU intensive is a rather useless term since a lot of threads only produce nominal load and don't do much (hey Oracle) whereas a single thread can burn quite a lot of power (e.g. linpack). Technically everything except good HPC code is memory latency bound and said code is usually memory bandwidth bound. So it's all about how well the CPU can avoid waiting on memory.

TF2 is also very good at doing weird shit, like one function where the MSVC compiler just fucks up everything and uses weird instructions so the CPU has to keep switching to microcode and back (50% of the cycles are wasted just doing that). That is depending on the definition either the most or least cpu intensive because the isn't waiting for anything, isn't burning much power but also is doing fuck all and there's no way to avoid it.

Some parts of the code are even worse, but that function alone makes up 10% of the total execution time.

So the only thing about TF2 that's intensive is the tendency to waste cycles.

It's ok, we all do sometimes, I just wanted you to admit it.

More like you have absolutely no idea.

TF2 is one of the most CPU intensive games. It only uses 2 cores though, so a quad core doesn't do shit.
The question was which CPU would perform better in TF2.

It's just wrong.

Nope, still doesn't make any sense.

He's obviously massively underperforming at LAN.

Oh wait.

What do you mean it runs at 100%?

But yes, if an SSD can fuck with the BIOS, which doesn't even know what a file system is, then it's probably fucked, as expected.

Well apparently the file is broken. Redownload it?

So let me get this straight:
No matter which pc you connect it to, even if you select a different HDD to boot from, the SSD still prevents it?
But you think it's not damaged in any way?

Either you haven't actually selected the boot device correctly or you're doing something else wrong or the SSD is damaged.

Try booting a different pc up and plugging the SSD in afterwards. You might have to enable hot-plug/hot-swap in the BIOS.
