  1. I would to see Newegg restored to its former glory. Do they though? Microcenter is too far away and Amazon has its own PR issues.
  2. Or one to flash custom-modified BIOSes for Pascal through Ampere GPUs.
  3. Windows has a problem that Linux doesn't have. It is selling uniformity and assurance for plug-and-play, and therefore is limited by how they build their binaries for release. Too relaxed optimizations and specialized hardware end up sitting idle. Too optimized then low-end/old hardware just can't run it. Linux offers various levels of optimized binaries, and then the source code. It would be a support nightmare for Windows to attempt just the first offering.
  4. -15C is impressive and +275MHz!
  5. With their online accounts, they could have given gamers the capability (not just opportunity) to sell their old games 10 years ago, if they really wanted. Any online service could have done it. What a bogus excuse.
  6. Used to run 1506MHz at 1.274v on my MSI GTX 980TI with a custom-modded BIOS. Those were the days. Pretty sure it's the same Maxwell BIOS editor for non-TI.
  7. The AI downscale is likely using a neural network trained to eliminate shimmering and edge aliasing, and thus needs the tensor cores to run. However, being a downscale process, you could probably achieve just as good a result by using spatial algorithms that do not need the tensor cores. Honestly, when you're down-sampling, there won't be much difference between a source image that is 4x or 2x. Even at 2x, a simple fast sharpen filter would have been sufficient.
  8. DLDSR is coming Friday at the driver-level, as new options in the Control Panel and the old DSR will move to a legacy section. DLSS will never be driver-level, because it requires motion vectors to be calculated by the game engine.
  9. It's really sounding like: Render at 2.25x native resolution -> AI downscale to native resolution -> display rather than Render at native resolution -> AI upscale to 2.25x -> downsample -> display What does AI downscaling provide in the former, that normal downscaling doesn't do? Proper edge detection for meaningful anti-aliasing? It is unlikely to be the latter, because motion vectors or game-specific training would be needed.
  10. Pic is too dark. Can't really see what's going on.
  11. Anyone got advice for making the D5 pump last as long as possible in this combo unit? I've had a new unit grind to a halt in about 3 years time, exhibiting increasing vibrations towards the end. The replacement with a used D5 also grinded to a halt within a few months. Is this thing just prone to vibration wear-down, due to its vertical orientation and inadequate load balancing? I've securely screwed the attachment holes to the case and placed styrofoam pads below the pump.
  12. X5470 is absolute cream of the crop for this board. At stock voltages, I was able to run at 4GHz. With about 1.425v, it was able to push 4.4GHz for benches.
  13. Linear performance scaling with power consumption? That's stretching.
  14. As time goes on, the cool geekiness of these companies will erode away.
