...in general, with external view at least, you can disable warning sounds via general 'options' panel... -
not sure if it applies to the sound you hear, but...speed trigger warning can vary, ie. by 'conditions, altitude'. Quick way to check is 'external view', lower left speed indicator pic 1 no speed warning, pic 2 speed warning (note red and white band)

videocardz EK unveils active GPU backplate cooling solution

I want a 3090 Ti w/ HBM2 instead ? -
...clicking noise is usually a warning, i.e. overspeed.

Yes, you do - urgently ! ? ...Then you can go back and forth between Cyberpunk 2077 and Flight simulator 2020 4K eye candy and argue with yourself which one you like more...- 77 replies

...^^ May be it's just the path ? As posted > here at least one of the earlier patches messed up my 200 GB 'rolling cache' path to another M.2 drive. Fortunately, the cache itself was fine, just had to re-enter the custom path in 'options / data'. That said, more recent patches (including the one which added VR among other things) left the cache path alone, though EDIT I figured I better try out everything after recent post and (even more) patches...normally fly with 'live' weather, but this time, I spec'ed 'snow thunderstorm' instead...not ideal for 'VFR' ?
-
Wow ! That sucks ? - Did you still have full functionality after you loaded the recent 14 GB patch (noting that there was a smaller 1 GB patch after that) but before you kicked in the new VR option ? Also, did you mean that now you only have access to the modded planes (can see them in options'), even if it crashes afterwards ? This might not just required a complete uninstall, but perhaps also a registry purge.

I have not even tried the Airbus yet, just the smaller jets - and the 747, of course. My usual default plane of choice though is the Icon A5 as I can land with it pretty much anywhere. As to auto-trim, if you DON'T start at an airport but start mid-air, auto-trim is not on automatically (trim can be changed manually) on my setup. Only when I start from / land at an airport runway does auto-trim come on. Yeah, per earlier post that last big 14 GB (?) patch enabled VR. BTW, what VR set are you using ? I am thinking of getting one and am leaning towards the HP Reverb G2 but need to do further research - love to get feedback on your VR flights with Flightsimulator 2020

@Laithan ...thought you might appreciate this 8-channel Threadripper Pro ? beast vid (btw, Gigabyte also just announced a TR Pro WRX80 mobo)

...I do not need my graduate degree in economics to understand what happened to raw material prices for a firm like Caselabs in that period. The graphs in the spoiler say enough. Prices had already sky-rocketed before hand, and the tariff pushed it to the peak. As to US smelters reopening, the tariff war that resulted did not help the economy as a whole, on the contrary. But that's it for me on this... @UltraMega ...I usually skip every second generation of new cards and 2x w-cooled 2080 Ti are doing great, including RTX. Still, 3090s might be a nice upgrade, but with prices so high / availability of the models I want so low, there's no rush
-
I don't think that's accurate, per below excerpt. Quite apart from that, raw material prices react immediately when a tariff is imposed, even before the official start of said tariff(s). In addition, tariffs were extended again later on. As to Caselabs being a poorly-run company, I did not see their books. Fact is though that they had been around for about 47 years (!) and their computer cases were (and still are) highly regarded. Raising the cost of a major input to production of a company can and does have disastrous effects.
-
Trade frictions with China may improve a bit (if you're an optimist) but I do not think they are going away for a variety of issues caused by ALL sides. Be that as it may, a quick quote from Wikipedia about Caselabs, the much-vaunted PC case manufacturer that started in 1971 in California: "CaseLabs announced that it was shutting down permanently in August 2018, citing Trump tariffs cutting into margins by "raising prices by almost 80%", and the "default of a large account". The company said it would not be able to fulfill all existing orders, but parts orders should ship to customers"

...yeah, AMD's growing Ryzen experience with the - ahem, 'glue logic' - should come in very handy when tying together multi GPU chiplets to work in unison with low latency. My experiences shared above with SLI CFR basically just afforded a glimpse of yesterday's mGPU base line, yet it already is really impressive. Still, it will pale in comparison when multi-chiplet / tile GPUs are ready for prime time... Intel's Xe HPG also > seems to have found solutions to 'integrating multi cylinders into a single engine' (sorry for that metaphor )

toms hardware GPU Shortages Will Worsen Thanks to Coin Miners
J7SC_Orion replied to ENTERPRISE's topic in Hardware News
...not making any predictions re. 'coins', but right now a lot of money that does not want to be tracked or be subject to other controls is moving given recent elections and a changing international political landscape...Should be interesting to see what happens in 1 - 2 months. ...I see a rare few 3090s pop up here and there at my regular online retailers / MSRP, but I should take screenshots because a little bit later, they disappeared... Two of these were available here '''briefly''' locally -
...just when I had the perfect setup for the previous driver dialed in for Cyberpunk 2077...

The irony is that many of the Apple parts are produced by Foxconn factories that also produce a lot of parts for Apple's competitors. With price competition being fierce, it comes down to a functional international trade rule regime to stop 'lowest bid' manufacturers in the supply chain. Speaking of Foxconn and India...

As @ENTERPRISE already posted here , AMD has also confirmed it is working on multi-chiplet- GPUs via a recent patent filing...looks interesting as a serial+semi parallel approach. Here's another source / interesting write-up about it:

GAME: Ban the Above User for a Reason - EHW Edition

Banned for pointing out the obvious -
...the plot thickens ! May be Intel's progress with Xe-HPG is why rumours of NVidia's AD102 Lovelace (18432 cuda cores) surfaced last week, unless that is actually 'Hopper'... who knows. One thing is for sure...I was thinking about an upgrade to RTX 3090s or 6900XTs, but since their availability has been atrocious here anyway and now we are already talking next gens, I might as well hang back a bit to figure out what Team Green, Team Red AND Team Blue will unleash in 2021...

...speaking of patches, another 14 GB patch last week, adding among other, things VR capability ! real weather shots (4K / ul)

CDPR - Cyberpunk 2077 Screenshot and Discussion Thread
J7SC_Orion replied to Mistio's topic in PC Gaming
^^kudos for finishing the game ! I also have to read up more about the leak on upcoming patches. So far, I only have about 7 hrs in (it's been busy...) and I am at the stage now where I ( V?) and Johnny Silverhand argue a lot. Then again, I got Cyberpunk 2077 mostly for free-roaming through the eye-candy, and the visuals are beyond stunning. I had SLI CFR running briefly in-game (post splash screens and menus) at 4K native but when I wanted to change a graphics setting, it froze. I used my trusty Flight Simulator 2020 CFR driver and settings, but more options to explore. Either way, on a big (40 inch) 4K monitor, it is also very immersive, though I am toying with the idea of getting a VR set for Cyberpunk 2077 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020... the latter just released a 14 GB patch, with VR now. -
For the record, there are still patches coming for Win 7...both my Win7 machines were patched last month, and several times before in mid & late 2020. But I think these are just the really important security patches. My machines are 'split by use'. The Win 10 one is the 4K one work and play - but has no email. One of the two Win 7 only does email, browsing and older 1080p games. The third one runs our bedroom TV ((instead of the built-in LG software which I finds suspect). As mentioned, all are behind hard and soft firewalls. Then there is the GIANT SolarWinds hack to consider, delivered via patches. Microsoft itself was affected...

I use both Win 10 Pro and Win 7 Pro on my private machines. Win 10 is nice but a giant 'big data vacuum' and all machines in my home office are behind BSD and other firewalls and also run fairly hefty security programs. And then there's always Linux...
