i think my memory issues are my ram caching frequently used applications because when i close Opera, which was using 20% RAM, it only goes down 5%

When ur frankenstein pc actually boots first try

i think the issue is java

Nah just installing all the essentials

>java

java isn't an essential

anymore

I recognize that case, as sad as it is to say

or ever really was

minecraft is the only use for java

not anymore, right?

doesn't minecraft have its own built in java now

you can't mod the c++ version

maybe

Its ancient hardware strung together on an underpowered psu using sata to pcie adapters all connected to a monitor with no stand propped up on a milk crate, specific hardware being 2x gtx 680s, an fx 8350, 8gb of ddr3, and a 500gb 5600rpm ps4 hard drive

I wouldn't call 600w underpowered

well, maybe with 2x 680s

Underpowered for dual 680s

yeah

I didn't think of that at first

And the 8350 doesnt exactly sip.power either

and only 8 gb of ram makes the pc not able to run two programs at once

it's not for running Chrome Leg

The biggest issue is the psu only had 1 6 pin so i had to adapt 3 satas to 6pin using the tiniest wires i have ever seen run off a psu

i'm projecting my weird memory issues

oh right, the days before modular power supplies

Idk if both 680s are even working

Nvidia control panel should tell you

Well the driver is still getting there, the hdd isnt exactly fast

windows control panel should tell you

windows control panel wont

for SLI

since you can enable a state where both cards don't act as one addressable group

The cards have been loose in a box in my basement for a year the fact that even 1 of them works is impressive

oh the gpu doesn't appear in the resource monitor

didn't realize

(they look like EVGA cards)

which I've found to be pretty durrable

I think theyre msi

One of them has no brand markings on it at all

interesting

The other iirc was msi

I think theyre the shitty 2gb models too

what's the scaling for memory for 2-way SLI?

I remember 3-way you took a hit to the total available vRAM

Its 2gb of useable

Doesn't add the 2+2, just remains 2

it might for 2-way

Ive used them in the past, i get 2gb of vram while in sli

Or 4 when i have them set to be independent

ok, so it's the same

I couldn't remember, it's been a while since I've done anything with SLI

and I don't even want to look into NVlink

Its what fucked me when i bought them because they were advertised as 4gb sli cards, which the ppl selling them dont know how sli works

So i ended up with 2 2gb cards and not 2 4gb cards

no wonder they've been sitting in a box for so long

Yea theyre useless

I mean, is PhysX was still a thing, you could use them for that

Couldnt even get my money back because i got them through ebay and they protect sellers over buyers

Physx cards are a meme, most of the time they did nothing

The Boys is apparently a good show like everyone says

Is there a good win10 debloat tool

No

I think the last one i tried didnt work

not really

they're all kinda shitty now

tried a bunch recently

^

I know on my main pc

I got fed up with windows and nuked all its abilities to update or do anything

Which isnt great for security

my best recommendation is using that one window site that I can't remember, they have a super windows customization program that has quick options to tons of settings

But

I dont even have spectre or meltdown slowdown patches anymore

the debloat tools are just scripts you run once

most of them don't work anymore leg

or are just kinda shitty as

windows will fuck it up somehow

I just manually disabled a ton

There was one i got that did work
