  1. I kinda agree with the more "professional" point, but $5 to $20 is a bit of a hike for the small time (as in single person)business clients.
  2. After reading this thread and the one on ocn, I figured out the solution. Just make all the 4090's TOP mount cards so the card stands upright and has plenty of room now for the cables to not have to bend.... Also,it could allow for heat exhaust on a blower type card. Just set a rack over the exhaust port and have a coffee warmer on your rig!
  3. It is safe to upgrade now, Nvidia saves you money. It's not only a video card,it's a marshmallow cooker... Plus we have Linus take on the subject now....
  4. Middle Earth: Shadow of War 6CXN73E35A27736692 Use on GOG by 11/4/2022
  5. I can see it now, people who have utilities included are gonna have a clause in their lease prohibiting future generation Nvidia cards.
  6. As for Micro center, I feel ya. The 2 closest to me are each aprox. 4 hours away in opposite directions. 1 in KS the other in TX.
  7. Haven't purchased, but if anyones looking for a nas HDD, 14TB on sale.
  8. I look terrible, but here's a screen shot of the image from my cheap webcam ordered back in 2021 and now out of stock. 1080p
  9. The ARC cards handle DX9 by emulating it to DX12 which makes more work for the GPU hence the about half the FPS in the DX9 games as cards that are able to handle it directly(linus actually compared a GTX 780 and it got higher FPS in CSGO) Meanwhile there are also games that show amd having advantage over intel & nvidia and believe it not,ARC beat Nvidia & amd in metro exodus. Jayz believe's it's mostly a matter of drivers being put out for the games now. here's his vid with results for Cyberpunk,Gears5,metroexodus,GuardiansoftheGalaxy,Forza Horizon5,Borderlands3,Shadow of the TombRaider, with & without RT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_Sl8W-RQH0 like he says in the video,it's almost an ad for amd. how ARC handles DX9 = https://www.archynewsy.com/intel-xe-and-arc-gpu-dx9-games-emulated-with-directx12/
  10. lol, tomaetoe,tomahtoe,tahmotae.... meanwhile none of them get it right.
  11. From Wikipedia... "NZXT released their own line of motherboards for the Intel Z370 chipset in January 2018. It was praised for its minimalist design, as the circuitry is not exposed; but was initially criticized for its high price. The lineup was refreshed in October 2018 to support the Z390 chipset. The NZXT branded Z390 motherboards were manufactured by Elitegroup while a Z490 one is made by ASRock."
  12. I can just hear them whispering in the background to each buyer "Move along,nothing to see here..."
  13. I haven't played the game yet on pc, where the 18 dip came from I can't figure where it came from.I'm gonna re-run the test again later to see if it was something that spiked somewhere else causing it to dip. It's the same scenes being run in the test so it should have been lower in the bottom 1. Edit: New test results including 70% and 100% More stable results, made sure nothing going on in background and waited for each to start and stop completely before trying to start new test.(Test has a long wait period at beginning that threw me off when I first ran it and I restarted it thinking it wasn't running right) 1st image = 50% 2nd = 60% 3rd = 100% & 4th = 70%.Scale only let's me adjust in multiple of 10,was trying for the 66% but had to settle for 70.
  14. their whole thing kinda sucked,but I'm glad they're refunding the subscriptions people got. Gamepass offers cloud streaming of games on certain subscriptions. It's nice because U don't have to download a game onto a limited size drive to play it,it's on their servers and keeps the info there. Edit: Amazon seems to still be hanging in there.... Free trial of the Ubisoft+ channel through Oct.10th if anyone has prime and wants to give it a go.
  15. a little less than 1440, but that's the area. here's the actual settings used by the math.
  16. lol, I have a basic generic android phone,echo dots in 2 rooms with the mics off except when they are being used to play music, amazon tablets & firesticks with smart capabilities turned off except when I use a tablet to either interface with a dot,or my kindle unlimited acct,and then I just type.(Alexa doesn't get much love from the tablets,or firesticks.) The wife uses the Google voice search option on the phone all the time.
  17. The Higher frame screen shot is at the default setting of 50% for the Screen Resolution Multi and the lower FPS is when I increased it to 60%. At 100% it knocked the FPS down to the upper 30's-low 40's average with high spikes in upper 60's and lowest spikes in bottom 20's. The Game used was Assassin's Creed Valhalla using the built in Benchmarking test. Included a shot of my memory also since that wasn't in the info provided by the test.
  18. lol, Some of these aren't TOO bad, but some are just a waste.... 17 ridiculous 'smart' gadgets that really exist WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM In the tech industry's quest to make everything connected, more than a few "smart" gadgets aren't quite solving everyday problems.
  19. I'll start with something I ran across today since I'm starting this post,I hope everyone else also contributes things to make us laugh at what people buy.... This Large WiFi Router Guard Cover (Blocks About 90% of WiFi Router EMF While You can Still use The Router) Blocks 5G! (lol) was obviously thought up to cater to the paranoia over the 5G towers and is actually selling some. according to a couple of dissatisfied commenters it's actually made from a metal wire paper holder and a sheet metal base. the list price is $89 and change PLUS shipping. Source that led me to this wonder of modern science was FaceBook....
  20. "At best it's emulation" I think the concern is that At WORST it's SAMPLING which requires that credit be given to the original works. No Ice Ice Baby's allowed without proper credit! The image of Grumpy Cat in Hospital has a familiar looking cat,wonder what image it was taken from? Was it copied whole then dressed in scrubs? Was it inspired by drawings or photo's? What about the copyrighted material being used? Maybe we should also read the linked article that was in my earlier linked post for more in depth details about the whole situation. What’s Really Behind Those AI Art Images? NEWSLETTERS.THEATLANTIC.COM What feels like magic is actually incredibly complicated and ethically fraught.
  21. Maybe if you just say "give me Mac or give me Death!" or "What's a PC?" they pass your Job application up the ladder?
  22. The Studio tracks for Metal Gods,Breaking The Law,and Living After Midnight are so much better than the live versions in my opinion... lol,Contains Sexual content and Vulgar lyrics U have been warned!
  23. Flooded with AI-generated images, some art communities ban them completely ARSTECHNICA.COM Smaller art communities are banning image synthesis amid a wider art ethics debate. And the trouble has already started....
  24. I agree with you to a point. The main thing people need to stop doing is pre-ordering games and paying for alpha and beta versions of games. It literally gives developers no incentive to release a game that ISN'T broken on day 1. People need to stop paying companies to be their testers. I remember when it was the other way around and companies paid people to test and report the issues in alpha & beta versions so a (mostly) fixed game was released. Now,we have weeks and months of glitches still being fixed after release of sometimes barely playable games(looking at U cyberpunk!)
