Best Graphics Card Repair Business in the United States?
Sir Beregond replied to HeyItsChris's topic in AMD
Well the actual silicon die is on the substrate (the little PCB its attached too) which is then soldered to the main PCB via BGA. Wow, nice job. I figured it was dead and done. -
That's unfortunate, but understandable.

I'm not really a fan of 100% polyester, but I'll probably try one and see how it goes. Bet the southern folks would love that though.
-
Cotton is good! Someone just said polyester earlier so gave me pause.
-
Maybe people post what they like.
-
Yeah I saw that but that's weight, that does not indicate a material change if these are like dri-fit shirts as earlier indicated.

techspot Nvidia finally updating control panel
Sir Beregond replied to UltraMega's topic in Software News
Wonder if it will have built in OC support like AMD's does. Somehow I doubt it. -
toms hardware AMD cuts pricing for 7900 XT
Sir Beregond replied to UltraMega's topic in Hardware News
Oh if we are going back to Turing and RDNA1, sure absolutely everyone was caught off guard by how that developed. I was more replying to Pio's comment with RDNA2. Not sure what was to be caught off guard with on Ampere's launch. It was literally a continuation of RT with 2nd gen RT (3rd gen Tensor) and was still DLSS 2.0. The only weird thing about RDNA2 was how tacked on features like RT were exposing the "playing catchup" game AMD is playing. -

Sir Beregond replied to UltraMega's topic in Hardware News
It was more that that was AMD's first go at RT and it showed then anything else. That was Nvidia's 2nd gen RT so maybe it improved more than they thought it would but I don't think there was otherwise anything there to really take AMD off guard. -
Impressive.
-
I'm not a fan of that material for shirts personally.
-
Oh these aren't regular t-shirts? Hmm...
-
I was wondering if something like this would take off at this level vs the Nvidia and AMD offerings. If these features become more universal within the OS itself long-term and become just as good or better than what we currently get, that will be interesting to see how DLSS and FSR continue and what they offer on-top of this.

Corsair A115 Tower CPU Air Cooler Review Discussion
Sir Beregond replied to RageSet's topic in Review Discussions
Great review and nice to see something live up to the marketing claims. -
I concur. My Steel Series battery is excellent.
-
Mines not blue tooth, though has the option.

For headsets, I am pretty happy with my Steel Series wireless (Arctis Nova 7 in my case), but I will agree with @The Pook and say quality headphones and a mic are superior in terms of sound quality, so just depends on what you are looking for out of it. The headset is certainly easier to deal with than headphones and separate mic, but headphones are definitely much better sounding than this Steel Series headset. That said, it seems like wireless is a priority for you, so certainly steers you towards headsets most likely. Quality headphones you'd want to keep a wire in my opinion.

Is this just a thing with chiplet design? I noticed my 5900X idles pretty high too.
-
Oh I took off my power limiting. I just checked what it would do for one WU. EDIT: But Flux is correct in terms of why points dipped.

Something might be amiss - RTX 4080 Super reviews out!
Sir Beregond replied to GanjaSMK's topic in Hardware News
I mean specs wise, there wasn't really much of an uplift in...anything. Marginal memory speed increase from 22.5Gbps to 23Gbps, and only 5% additional cores. All worked out, means marginal uplift probably closer to the 2-3% range which is well within margin of error. Really all this release is, is a 4080 at $999 MSRP because for whatever reason Nvidia didn't want to just officially price-cut the existing model as probably some marketing tactic. Which is weird since they did the 4070, but what do I know. Edit: I'll be honest, a couple week ago I thought maybe the performance would scale up a bit better, but frankly the 4070 Ti Super launch last week dashed that idea. So I think this is pretty expected for the 4080 Super. Funny because I'd say $999 is still too much. -
That was a lot of fun and really my first time really folding. Look forward to next year!
-
I dropped my 3080 Ti FE to 85% power which dropped it from 350W stock to 290-300W and only lost 11k points on a large WU (projecting 864k instead of the 875k at 100%).
-
I've seen this occasionally over the last couple months. A refresh solved it for me most times, so I never really thought anything of it.
-
Well, tried running at 50% power (about 150w) overnight and room still hotboxed and @damricadded another million between us. Back to full bore now, but not home so just hoping nothing crashed as I try to catch up. Hoping to gett some more 500-900k WUs to close the gap But based on last night will have to just shut down for the night again like I was before.
