ENTERPRISE

Oh I am a dingus !

Scary thought !

For our work systems I will not deploy the November update for a little bit as they are all fairly mission critical. Granted it does not take too much time to restore any problematic system but it is a pain you can do without especially during busy periods. I may give it a test out on my home rig on my gaming partition as it is no big deal if that goes up the creek. As you say, it is not a serious update in the way of mind blowing features or performance improvements, just your stepping stone update I think.

Well it does not come as a massive surprise, luckily I have no interest in adopting TR3 so dodged a bullet on that one haha.

I felt that way once, but realized you just kind of have to bite the bullet on some of these platforms. In all honesty I have accounts with the majority of the platforms simply due to getting free games with hardware purchases which I am sure as hell going to redeem lol. Even so, if there was a game I was looking forward to playing and was only on one platform for the moment, I would just get on that platform. Lets face it, you only have to install the launchers the once every Windows install, it is a pain at first but when its done it is done.

While I am always excited to see what the latest Windows brings both in performance improvements and use ability, there recent track record has not been fantastic so I think (while hard for me) I will sit and wait for a couple of weeks before updating. Lets hope we are all wrong and its a smooth and great update. Source: https://www.neowin.net/news/the-windows-10-november-2019-update-is-the-update-that-you-should-definitely-install/

Not so much the latest news, but I somehow missed this particular preview of the AMD Epyc Rome 64 Core CPU. For workloads...my god it is beautiful. [video=youtube;HuLsrr79-Pw]

Certainly will be a shame if TR3 does not support the X399 Platform and not so surprisingly PCI-E 5 is looming. Kind of feel sorry for those who jumped so quickly on the PCI-E 4 bandwagon. PCI-E 4 will be relevant for a fair amount of time but it certainly will have a short life span compared to PCI-E 3.

While I am not upgrading to the 3rd gen as there is no real world need for me to, I think it will be shame if the rumor is true that Threadripper 3 will not support the current x399 platform.

Those were fantastic days. No BIOS signing, unlockable pipelines/shaders. Those were the days where you got the best bang for your buck. In fact I remember ATI back then not really caring about the fact you could purchase a lower model card and turning it into a high end for free. I enjoyed that relaxed philosophy. I guess we have CEO of ATI (Pat Hassey) at the time to thank. Alas, someone noticed this lax philosophy was eating into profit margins :angry_angry:

Hey guys, Who here has delved into Control ? I have to say it is a game that has really kept me wanting to play, seems to have been a while since I found a game do that for me. Fantastic game play and mechanics. I love the paranormal and mysterious elements, really takes it to a new level. What I will say is that the game kind of throws you in at the deep end, no gentle introduction here! But persevere with it and all becomes much clearer. I must admit, at first I was like ''WTH is going on'' lol As for graphics, they are fantastic in their own right and the physics I certainly cannot complain about. Those who own an RTX card, this game makes proper use of not only the Ray Tracing elements but finally you see DLSS shine. I know this game is on Console, but in reality this is a PC only game if you want to really experience it at its best, but lets be honest, we can say that about most games right Remedy have certainly done well, but I expect no less from those who created Max Payne (yes another series I love). Check Control out ! Played it ? What are your thoughts on Control ?

My daily driver lol......the Corsair Vengeance 1500.

My BB sucks, about 25-30 down. However I live very rural, I am however investigating 4G net which pricing wise is comparative to what I am paying for my slow landline connection. If only 5G were here...though if it was it would cost me an arm and a leg in order to get it sorted.

Yeah that is fair enough, its not a heavy gaming machine, though I am sure it pulls its own weight ! Gsync is nice but lets face it, it is not the be all and end all.

Banned for banning ! P.S Imgur BBCODES revised. You now just have two versions as per the two different icons, if one does not work, try the other basically. Imgur are really annoying and depending upon content type, have a different iframe setup.

Ahh that is a shame, I am assuming it is not one of the monitors that got Gsync support recently ?

Oh nice, bet that was a nice performance boost GPU wise for you

Woah, insane storage space !

What GPU are you running in it now ? Or is the R9 Nano the new one ?

Gotta love those gifts ! Glad it went smoothly, looks great.

Really like the graffiti look !

Oh nice ! That is one sexy looking box. How long did that build take you ? I can see you already had some parts in hand from your parts list...you have to love hording parts right !

Long time coming, it is good to see Intel doing some panic stations for a change.
