Jag är ute efter samma sorts dator. Är inte jätteduktig när det kommer till att sätta ihop en dator, tyvärr...
Som många påstår i tråden att det faktiskt behövs lite kräm i datorn så är det sant. Jag använder mig av både statistikprogram och solvers, just solvers kräver sjukt mycket om man inte vill vänta i 100 år på att det ska bli färdigt eller nöja sig med någon halvtaskig lösning.
Jag har även 4-5 olika klienter uppe hela tiden och vissa av dom använder jag program som öppnar borden åt mig automatiskt när det finns plats. Spelar poker professionellt på rätt skapligt nivå och behöver något som är stabilt.
Budget kan gå över 10k om det behövs men skulle vara skönt att ligga någonstans runt det.
Problem jag har nu är att jag gjorde misstaget att köpa en Lenovo y70-70 touch.
1. Den har ingen DP. Vem gör så?
2. Den har ingen DP!!!
Tanken är att kunna köra en 38" ultra wide eller större då det verkligen kräver plats när man har så många program öppna. Sitter just nu med mitt misstag och en 27" monitor och känner att det är verkligen inte tillräckligt.
Kan tillägga att jag endast spelar andra spel som league of legends, Nya Diablo (3?) en gång om året under det årliga lanet med polarna och då kan jag förmodligen använda mig av min bärbara.
Lite info från Pio solver som är det mest krävande programmet. Kan vara värt att nämna att alla program körs samtidigt FÖRUTOM Pio solver, detta program körs efter eller före själva spelandet.
"9. What hardware is recommended for optimal use of PioSOLVER?
There is no "optimal" build as it depends on your expectations, budget and logistics. Here are some points to have in mind:
Operating system: you need 64bit Windows. On Macs you need some way to run Windows, popular ones are Parallels and Bootcamp.
CPU and RAM: solver's speed is proportional to number of physical cores x frequency they run on assuming those are reasonably modern CPUs. The more RAM you have the bigger trees you can build. This means there is no "optimal" setup. You can always get a faster computer and more RAM if you spend more money.
Minimum requirements: you need a quad core CPU and 8GB of RAM to run the solver comfortably. It will work on modern dual core CPUs as well but it's going to be slower (more than 2x because usually those CPUs are also clocked at lower frequency than quads to save battery life). It's the best to download the free version and run some tests (it solves Qs Jh 2h flop) to make sure your hardware produces satisfactory performance.
Laptops: it's hard to get good performance on a laptop. If you intend to run the solver on those make sure to get real quad/hexa core CPU (not 2 cores with hyperthreading sometimes advertised as 4 cores) at possibly high frequency. Even the fastest laptops are slower than average modern desktop computer. The reason for this is that laptops are optimized to be portable and to have long battery lives not for performance.
Desktops: the performance is proportional to number of CPU cores multiplied by frequency they are clocked at. We strongly recommend AMD CPUs as starting from Zen generation (Ryzen/Thread Ripper) they offer much better performance/price ratio and you can get a lot of cores. Due to licensing changes on Intel forbidding the users to publish performance benchmarks we can no longer in good conscience recommend Intel CPUs.
RAM: RAM speed doesn't matter much as long as it's relatively modern. The more RAM you have the bigger trees you can build. 8GB is enough to use postflop solver comfortably with occasional 2-3 bet sizes at some points. 16GB is enough to solve even very big trees with multiple bet sizes at many points. Some users want even bigger trees though. To use the preflop solver comfortably you need at least 64GB of RAM. We got reports that RAM speed is important for Ryzen/ThreadRipper CPUs though. It's the best idea to consult hardware experts/hardware forums when assembling your system.
Renting: it may be the best idea to rent a dedicated server instead of building your own hardware. It offers a lot of flexibility and options. The solver doesn't hog your local resources either so you can the computer for other heavy tasks when Pio is solving on the server. There are many providers of dedicated servers out there, popular ones among our customers are ovh, online.net and https://contabo.com/. They all have their own order process, offerings and support. We don't recommend any particular provider, it's the best to consult Google and our Skype group where many people went through the process.
GPUs: they don't matter for the solver's performance
SSDs: they don't matter for the solver's performance although they do matter for overall computer experience so it's recommended to get one unless the computer is purely for Pio purposes.
Overclocking: overclocking will increase performance of the solver proportionally to how much you overclock. Overclocking also increases heat so you need very good cooling to make it work (generally you need to know what you are doing)
Intel vs AMD: AMD CPUs before Ryzen/Thread Ripper were very slow for the purposes of the solver. Ryzen/ThreadRipper offer great performance though and fantastic performance/price ratio as well."
