I'm missing the options you are, but it gave me a validation window. Main Rig - 5800x with PBO / DDR4-3800 @ 16-17-16 / RX 6900XT @ 2.6GHz https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/compute/153027

I wonder what it'd take to get this put into Sven Coop, the coop mod for the HL series. If its just a map thing, that might be pretty easy to get the above mod, and any future HL2 mod for RT, and plug them into Sven maybe. Or maybe Sven needs to be completely reworked? Idk...... Either way, I love me some classic games with revamped graphics regardless.

You got it, and thank you for understanding.

Might want to be careful. You have stuff in your portfolio that's under NDA...... Or at least was.

@Bastiaan_NL when did you let Jan take a video of you in your speedo? Happy Birthday Bastiaan!!

The investor thing isn't really THAT iffy if you think about it. It'd be like Microsoft being an investor in a pro America video game and people boycotting American made video games because of a war or something. The investor isn't necessarily involved with the game other than finances. Yes, its a valid concern, but I doubt they had much to do with the game itself. And yes, the game is very pro Russia from the sounds of it. But again, is that REALLY that big of a deal? It's fiction for starters, and secondly who wouldn't want to be pro their own country? If Italians made a new game that was painting Italy in a positive light and was "pro Italy" would THAT be that big of a deal? It's a touchy subject simply because of politics and the war, it has nothing to do with the people themselves in said country (in my opinion). And yes, the second point you made there is very curious indeed. If there's already a boycott why DID this game get through? Hard to say for sure. THAT, is a very valid question and probably deserves some answers. I'm not saying that I'm going to install this game or not. Probably not to be honest, I'm just not much of a gamer. I just don't see the problem here if you take things at face value. It's a video game. If people outside of Russia bought it, the developers should get paid for their efforts, regardless of their country or nationality. See, I don't care about some war between one group of rich people and another group of rich people. I care about the people themselves of these places. And its pretty rough on my heart hearing people hating on Russians or Ukrainians. Those people themselves have nothing to do with this nonsense, they just want to live their lives, same as the rest of us.

Right, I understand that point. The problem with that logic is that basically cuts off ALL people in Russia. Same as it would if an American company was being boycotted for political reasons. I drive on the roads, I pay a gasoline tax and license fees. Those taxes and fees go to the state, which also help fund the federal government. So as such, I'm indirectly funding the federal government myself. Same situation here. Russian developers make a game. They get paid for said game. They pay their taxes. Oh no, they're funding the invasion!!!! Except they're really not, they're just paying their taxes as Russian citizens. That's all I was getting at. It's not the developer's fault that their nation is in a war right now.

Regardless of who made what, its a stupid video game. If Atomic Heart is a good game, those Russian developers deserve to be paid by the people that play the game. Period. It's no different than tying an American to Joe Biden or Donald Trump and saying that American can't get paid because you disagree with their politics. These Russian citizens are not Vladimir Putin, as such, they should be free enough to get paid for the work they've done. Ukraine can go kick rocks.

In I guess? I'm using my ETF GPU though, since @damric finally helped me get that going. Stupid 290x being unstable, swapped to the 6900xt.

E's probably sitting at his desk grumbling....... "so difficult to please everyone these days....."

Correction, its really REALLY close to being fixed on my end.

Fixed on my end!

I see it as well. Regardless, this is a welcome feature. Other than the above, works great on my end!

Hey, thanks for the reminder. I almost forgot to put up this month's OCN quote on mine.

That first image....... That's definitely either a 9800 or X800 / X850. Can tell by the VRAM locations on the top of the PCB and the PCB itself. It APPEARS that its got a molex plug plugged in, but in the image its hard to say. If so, that limits it to a 9800 or X850 being as that would make it an AGP card for sure. So yeah, almost certainly a 9800. Just had mine die the other day.

I can top that..... How about a "custom modded" cheapie desktop ATX style case......running an AthlonXP 2400+, uknown RAM and GPU (obviously has S-Video Out though), running Windows Vista x86 specifically for Media Center and I think it was "TVU Player"? Was my first 110% purpose built HTPC. Rocked plenty of desktops on the TV's back then for NES / SNES / 64 emulators, I think I started originally with a P3 era Celeron emachines or something. But yeah, first official HTPC "mod" I ever made. First mod I "published" on OCN too. I did, later on rebuild it with some better parts. Athlon x2 3800+, NF4 SLI motherboard, 2GB (4x512MB) DDR400, and AMD ATI HD3450, in a "proper" HTPC case. I didn't actually mod anything on this one though.

Here's the rig I had built BEFORE I joined enthusiast communities (OCN). Celeron 352 @ 4.5GHz (clockgen OC'd) I believe it was 2x512MB DDR400 ATI Radeon X1650 PRO AGP Idk what else it had in there, literally all I have is memory and these 3 pictures. My above pictured rig (939) replaced this very shortly after joining OCN. Ironically enough, I located a VERY similar case to this, and built a similar rig to it in it. A64 3200+ / X1950 PRO. That rig lives, just haven't taken pictures of it yet.

I'm absolutely by NO MEANS a modern Intel guy........ Does the Northbridge clock have anything to do with those results though? I notice the older chip has a 4.3GHz NB, and the newer one has a 4.0GHz NB. On Ryzen setups that'd have something to do with it for sure.

Correct. Above that was a 12v cig lighter and pop out ash tray (or cup holder). Above that, a 5.25" drawer. Above that 5.25 - 3.5" HDD adapter with 40mm fans. Both cases were Apevia (Aspire). I believe X-Discovery and X-Pider? The X-Pider was the "Chieftec Dragon" (identical to one, just like the Antec Performance). The one on the left, that circle in the center was actually an analogue temp sensor guage.

If you want an ACTUAL vintage picture, literally taken decades ago...... Here's my first rig I built while a part of OCN. Socket 939 A8N32-SLI Deluxe, Opteron 165 @ 3GHz, eVGA 8800GTS 512KO, 4x1GB Corsair XMS DDR400, and everything else you see. Other rig in the Chieftec Dragon sitting next to it was my dual Socket 370 overclocked to 1.5GHz Pentium 3 server with 2GB ECC RAM in it and I forget what all drives in it for storage. Had some weird RAID array of IDE drives though, I think they were 250GB's. Really wish I still had all these parts.

Ahhh man, where do I even begin!?!? How about I start my first post off in this thread, with the latest old full rig I'm working on. I think ALL of these parts should qualify as old. Specs: Asus A78NX-E Motherboard Athlon XP 2500+m 3x1GB Corsair DDR400 Thermaltake Volcano 7 CPU cooler (with Thunderblade 80mm fan) Aerocool 550w PSU Sapphire ATI Radeon X850 PRO Realtek PCI LAN Card TP Link Wireless N PCI card Soundblaster Live! 5.1 PCI sound card Adaptec ATA133 RAID card And drives of course Just diagnosing why its not POST'ing for me right now, literally JUST put it together, sat down and saw your thread. To be honest, could just be my monitor, going to try swapping to an older VGA capable monitor first before I start ruling out parts. Might just need a CMOS reset too, dunno yet. All parts have been tested as 100% working before though.....so shouldn't be too hard to figure out. So.....guess you guys can enjoy a little sneak peak before I consider this rig "done" and post it in my own thread. Literally, first time powering this full rig, assembled, on.

It was said in reference to what the AI had said. And I did read it, several times. I don't see a single "hateful rhetoric" remark made by the AI. Yes, its going against what Pfizer sponsored information says, but that's not "hateful rhetoric".

I'm not saying anything at all about the vaccines. Talk to your doctor, read the ingredients yourself. Don't take advice on a computer forum about your health lol. With that said, the ONLY thing I'm calling out here is the fact that TechCrunch is using propaganda buzzwords to generate clicks. I read the source TechCrunch article, New York Times, and Newsgaurd articles that were sourced. Not a single mention of Hitler outside of this TechCrunch article. "Disinfo", "Hitler", "hateful rhetoric", "conspiracy", these are ALL propaganda buzzwords that mean absolutely nothing, especially for a vaccine that's still in its trial stages and testing stages until 2024. The actual fact is, we don't know. You are absolutely correct that the terms "secretly added" and "dangerous chemical" are also incorrect to be used. But yet again, I'd call that more propaganda than I would "disinfo". Because as I already said, we don't know yet. There is one truth though, tromethamine wasn't "secretly added", they added ALL of the ingredients on purpose.
