    Laptop Suggestion Request

    If you are prepared to consider used:

    HP Zbook and Dell Precision (with minimum Nvidia Quadro T2000 graphics) on the used market are a great value ($500ish) and often cheaper than 'gaming' laptop equivalents using largely the same hardware. For reference the Nvidia Quadro T2000 is pretty much identical to the Geforce GTX 1650Ti laptop GPU and should be considered about the minimum comfortable dGPU spec required for SL in 2024, IMO. I see them on eBay all the time. Since these are considered 'workstation' laptops they're usually loaded with RAM, 32GB is a common config with the T2000 GPU. They're well built laptops too, if that matters to you... I know I don't much like plastic laptops.

    I think the life of these machines will be limited by the 4GB VRAM they have though, it works but SL is VRAM hungry and 6GB minimum would be better. Of course 6GB+ VRAM laptops means more expensive.

    Or:

    If you want to consider something newer but still used and more gaming focused then Asus Zephyrus are my favorite line of gaming laptops because of the build quality. You might find a good deal on one with the mobile RTX 3060 or 3070 GPU, both of which are very capable as SL machines if they have 16GB or more of system RAM.

     

     

     

     

     

    quadro cards are not made for gaming, they are for studio type work so they dont play friendly with the game drivers.

    Inventory not loading

    This is caused by LLs new viewer behaviour... Your invent is not broken it is LL not taking into account the "Noinventorylibrary" debug option set to TRUE, to work around this for now set it to FALSE and your invent will load in like normal.

    Help Finding this Cap name/Store

    in Wanted

    adding more info

    Hello all,

    Long time lurker. I am wondering if any one could possibly be able to help  me and my wife find this item. It is  her favourite hat and it has gone from her inventory.

    We believe it was a hunt item sometime between 2008 and 2009. 

    the store was split into two
     on one side was mens, and there was a middle part like ground, then another store on the other side, womens
     and off the top of my head the mens caps were roughly 250L
     it was a high class store,  there was a like  a semi ramp walk part down to the doors on the mens side
     and lots of glass around the store (glass windows) modern metal seating
     very modern looking store

    My assumptions come from what the posts say, not being able to log in and user kick indicates that they are doing maintenance on user info, and if i remember right with the new HTTP cloud, they have groups and asset in the same sets.

     

    Sims being restarted multiple times would indicate that the servers they are on are being worked on, and when a sim restarts it moves to an available server

    It will run good but not good enough to have shadows on all the time, maybe for pictures only.

    If your planning on not leaving the house with it I would suggest you invest in a desktop PC as laptops aren't generally that great for gaming.

    You may also want to invest in a 7200rpm drive, it will make running sl better for cache as it will reach the files faster.

    unusual amount of crashes. i'm getting sick of it!

    Just to clarify that he already has 8 gigs of ram in his system, it is more then likely the the last update with that viewer has caused the IGP over heat.

    If your system is not a laptop could you possible get yourself a cheap graphics card to help your system so you arnt running on an old IGP. (make sure its nothing second hand cause there could be any sort of faults with it)

     

    a cheap uptodate card for example http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0084LE1XY/ref=asc_df_B0084LE1XY11476644?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0084LE1XY

    5400rpm is standard for laptops... but you would expect for such a gaming laptop like that it would  have an SSD included... hench why dell have no idea what they are doing with computer hardware. and you must remember that laptop version are lower voltage then there desktop counterparts so they can run of the battery, so nothing is overkill when it comes to them.

    Alienware arnt as good as they used to be i would try another option, there is Cyberpower and OriginPC that both do custom laptop aswell, shop around and see if you can get some disccounts from sales they may be having.
