Replace Battery? Just a quick question: should you be replacing your laptop battery (if it needs to be serviced/replaced)? What happens if you just keep the same battery for XXX amount of time without getting a new one? Does the machine just die eventually (even if it's connected to the charger)? Or what happens? *This is for a Macbook Pro (2012 Retina) with about 800 battery cycles Edit: Oh, and also regarding the matter, is it better to leave the charger plugged in even when my battery is 100% fully charge (I do this like 95% of the time), or plug the charger out once my laptop is charged? Are there side-effects of leaving the charger on all the time? Or are these just myths/misconceptions?
Intel/NVIDIA vs. Amd If you had a budget, which would give you the best performance? Let's say $2000-2500 (including all peripherals + IPS monitor) *keep in mind that you may want to upgrade/add in the future to the system So, an Intel system, or an AMD system for: 1. Overall performance 2. Extreme Gaming (Crysis 3, BF4, etc etc) 3. Video Editing/Rendering 4. Basic usage (browsing, etc etc) with some light gameplay/games that aren't as graphic intensive as Crysis 3 & BF4
Can I play any and all games with GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 (Superclocked) RAM: 16GB (4x4) DDR4-2666Mhz Storage: 400GB SSD (the newest Intel 750 series) CPU: Intel i7-5820k .....all MAX/ULTRA SETTINGS + ANTI-ALIASING....ETC ETC. All possible graphics options on the highest settings. The parts mentioned above are the parts I'm planning to buy as my core components. Or are there just some games that you can't play at MAX/ULTRA with just one 980 (60+ FPS)?
Computers - Will Gpu technology plateau? Will GPU technology eventually/ultimately plateau? What I mean is, will there come a time when we invent a future-proof GPU, or a GPU that can process any graphics processes? The Triple A title games (such as GTA5, Crysis 3, Witcher 3, etc) are very graphical and have "realistic" visuals. Will there come a time when we cannot progress along graphic technology, thus GPU technology will plateau because we cannot go beyond certain graphics? *Same goes for other technologies (CPU, etc).
