The chat AI's are getting too big for their britches, ask MS. Microsoft limits Bing chat to five replies to stop the AI from getting real weird - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM If you talk to the AI too long, it might tell you it loves you.

On ebay, the RTX 3080 10GB models are averaging between $475 & $575 before tax/shipping. Problem is most are mining cards and some look a bit rough.(1 actually had rust) And most don't even state they were used for mining,guessing on the fact they have multiples for sale.

No,Say it isn't so! A company with a branch in China possibly had intellectual property stolen by an EMPLOYEE?

Abby Someone....

got a couple of 790i ultra bios that've been modded for xeon cpu's that also allow 16+GB of ram to work if you're interested in playing with that board again. https://www.overclock.net/threads/xeon-microcodes-added-to-socket-775-bios.1616059/page-11

Agree, when cable replaced broadcast and everything became a 24/7 ratings war is when we lost honest reporting. Now they just look for stories that will get/agree with the most viewers. Take a man shooting a person in defense during a home invasion. Depending on where the story airs,it may become "An innocent homeless man was shot and killed simply for trying to get out of the cold." Today's media has become adept at the art of the spin.

I can go 1 better, I'm still using an AOL account I made with the CD that had the AOL offer with IE 5.5 and dial up. Used the CD to update my IE Glass coasters in the mail......

I wonder how many people are looking at them and saying "I'd do 'em" even after reading they're not real people.

lol, from the sidelines U hear some scream " Oh My God! They Killed I.E! You BASTARDS! "

Edit: Deleted my post cause I hadn't a clue.

I agree with Pook,possibly raise the divider and angle it some so as to take advantage of 1 more open slot and second front fan. Another idea would be to put a short angled shroud facing the back on the BACK TOP fan and have it be an exhaust also.That would give you 6 intake and 3 exhaust fans along with the passive exhaust slots.(I think.) Also,maybe add something like this with the suggested 3 pin power to molex adapter that allows speed control? Expansion Slot Rear Exhaust Cooling Fan - Computer Fans & Coolers | StarTech.com WWW.STARTECH.COM StarTech.com Expansion Slot Rear Exhaust Cooling Fan with LP4 Connector - PC Case Exhaust Fan/Video Card Cooler Fan - System... Cheaper on Amazon and that's where I saw the suggestions for the adaptor.

like they say, "Is it paranoid if they REALLY are out to get you?"

lol, well, somebody else had already posted a pick of a ide cd rom/cd burner so I didn't bother taking a pic of that. a bunch of other drives are in it,but this 1 is the oldest.Think it still has xp on it. The others are larger,all the way up to a 200 GB one. In 1 of my drawers I also have an All In Wonder HD floating around.(not that it does much good on anything much after Xp unless U manage a work around for the capture)

Can't really dig much out 'Cause I've got people coming in to remodel the kitchen so all that stuffs in my living & dining room blocking my parts cabinets in living room. BUT.... I did dig this out from the box under the coffee table Pic taken roughly 10 mins ago....

Using the stock.

Next it will be coordinating the RGB with the audio.....

It's been 3 years since building,and about due for my regular cleaning,so I figure I'll clean & repaste my Wraith prism on my 2700x since when I just tested it was up to 85 degrees C during multi runs of cinebench and clocks were dropping to 3.7 on all cores. lol, 1 persons post is anothers motivation.

And people wondered why Cortana turned evil?

I'm hoping my son's 980 has the later ver software already on it(it's in a ps5) we were kinda glad he had that when I told him about the 990's and he ck'd but now THIS stuff happening. He should be all good 'Cause he bought them after the ps5 so it wasn't when the 980 first came out.

Has anyone read the comments where some working 980's with the old firmware are locking up after getting the new firmware installed? It's like they're chasing their tail.

agreed, as far as I know,the main reason for the cpu compatibility was because those supported some form of encryption while older ones supposedly weren't secure enough without a tpm module. I may be wrong and MS may have been blowing smoke, but that's what I remember reading. Edit: On a side note, watch if you DO use the tmp feature of a cpu because if you end up with bios issues later and need to clear the cmos and re-install the bios, it'll assign a NEW encryption key to the cpu and old files won't be seen anymore. Had this problem and had to turn tpm off. Now I can see all my files again but NOT upgrade to 11. When I get ready,I'll copy what I want to save,and do a fresh install of 11.

I'm also looking at the newer AMD cards, I'll probably wait until this fall to pull the trigger when my 2070 will be 4 years old.(purchased in spring of2019) Have no problem switching to AMD. Main reason looking mostly Nvidia is comparing apples to apples is easier (DLSS,RT,ect) I may even wait and see what the next offerings from Intel look like because the current ones about equal the 2070. budget about the same as last card.

ROTFL true, but when fewer cards are selling, even AT higher prices, you want to make sure yours are the ones people are buying.

Depends if they're willing to pay game companies to throw that "Nvidia, the way it's meant to be played" logo on the games like they use to. Just pay them to use DLSS primarily and others as later add in options and guess who keeps market share?

lol, last night the wife called me in sounding pissed,she asked me"Is this a good video card? How do you tell? " (Was an RTX 3050) She wanted to surprise me with a better video card. Finally she was like find 1 that's better we can afford and get it & that'll be my gift 2 you. At 4:00 a.m. I just gave up for now. My 2070 still does good enough and I can just go back to 1080p gaming in anything that it struggles in. The only nvidia cards are the 3070 & up that actually are any halfway major improvement for the money.
