So my birthday is next month, and I still haven’t really saved up much money to get the parts I need. Though the main reason is because as I had mentioned a very long time ago, my old PCPartpicker list no longer has the RAM that was recommended for me.
\nSo, since I’m taking my break (and my mother reminded me to go on and buy my Ryzen 5 2600), I need to find something that’ll work with my cooler (aka, low profile RAM).
\nI asked the Modded Minecraft Discord server, and was recommended a new motherboard\/RAM. But if said RAM is low profile, they don’t know. Hell, one of them didn’t even know what ‘RGB’ means. I’m honestly surprised there’s a few non-tech savvy people in there.<\/p>\n
So it seems I’m going to ask a forum (that’s related to these Java-based games I’m playing), and would hopefully know what I’m looking for (like the Wurm forum), and hope someone<\/span> in there knows the meaning of ‘low profile’ RAM. EDIT 1: Being told to think about downgrading to the Ryzen 3 1300X, saying it’s “only 15% less performance”, but it “runs virtually any game”. But when asking if this is a viable alternative for something that’ll last me 5-10 years from now, I got no response.<\/p>\n EDIT 2: I’m now being told the exact opposite of what I was told last year (in the Modded Minecraft Discord server). Got a PM in the Wurm forum, claiming WO “uses very little CPU” — and as more of a GPU-intensive game. I need someone else (or a group of others) that would know Java’s code, and would give me a non-BS answer of what I need to aim for. And I can’t ask the MM Discord server, as there’s a 99% chance that there will be noone in there, that’ll have a clue what ‘Wurm Online’ even is. . So my birthday is next month, and I still haven’t really saved up much money to get the parts I need. Though the main reason is because as I had mentioned a very long time ago, my old PCPartpicker list … Continue reading
\nI’ll update this once I finally have a price.<\/p>\n
\nHow.. is that even possible? Both<\/strong> games are running Java as their game engine, right? Right and from what I was told (by the Modded Minecraft Discord server), the CPU’s singlethreaded speed is what’s relied on (for Java-based games).
\nYet I’m being told it’s different<\/em><\/span> in Wurm? This isn’t Wogic, this is two different answers to one problem. Am I literally being told, WO runs better than Minecraft? That (somehow) Rolf along with Notch (before he created Minecraft), has used a different way to handle packets (and all of that other server mumbo jumbo) than Minecraft? If that’s the case, then how come Notch didn’t take pointers from Rolf?
\nHeh.. *sigh* one sure way to debunk one of these answers, would be angry (as he (I hope) has dealt with Java’s coding).<\/p>\n
\nEven if I was to ask in the Linus Tech Tips forum, they<\/em> probably wouldn’t know what it is! So I have no idea which answer I should go with (as either of them could be the wrong one).<\/p>\n
\nEDIT 3: I am now at a complete loss, with no idea how to proceed. The person tells me that yes<\/em>, it’s true that Minecraft (like all Java-based games) are single-threaded games. But then they told me a whole bunch of shit that it could even be.. my drives that could be the reason why I’ve been having low performance. They even keep insisting that Wurm uses “very little CPU”.
\nGod, what a headache. It seems like I’m back to square one, to where I might be literally having to stick with this system for the rest of my life.
\nWhat the fuck could I tell this person now? The status of all three of my drives, if I should go all SSD (even though there is a limit (although a large one) to the number of writes it can do until it dies)? Also, what about games like VRChat, or any future CPU-demanding games?
\nI got no one telling me this shit (that I’ve been used to). In other words, I seem to have lost people I can depend on to make decisions for me. And, this won’t do. I have to find someone willing to help me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
