    HTPC - no more?

    Sharknice was asking about watching streaming services on PC, specifically referring to framerate matching. The Windows Netflix app does not framerate match. IMO it still looks great, there is no drop in resolution and it supports HDR. Some people find 24fps content being played on a 60-144hz...

    HTPC - no more?

    As mentioned, I only use Netflix for streaming(and sometimes Prime), but Netflix through Kodi does framerate matching if I want. Interesting actually as Netflix added framerate matching to Firesticks just a few months ago, I'm not sure about Roku or others. That said a lot of the time I will...

    HTPC - no more?

    I still don't understand this. When I play files on my PC it literally changes the video output to match the file I am playing. Like if I play a 2160p24 HDR file with Atmos audio, my TV gets 2160p24 with HDR input while the file is being played, and my receiver gets an Atmos audio signal. There...

    HTPC - no more?

    To each their own I guess, though I really don't understand a lot of your points. Netflix supports 4K and Atmos just fine on PC, which is good enough for me. I know most or all other services don't(supposedly to curb pirating of content even though its completely ineffective) but the only other...

    HTPC - no more?

    Yes I've had a Plex server set up for years and I like it. Like I said I still use sticks on my TVs and I use plex, Netflix, Prime, etc but for my go to main home theater I still prefer the PC environment.

    HTPC - no more?

    I don't know, I've spent a while trying to just go with various media players and Firesticks or Rokus but I just ordered a mini-pc to function as my HTPC. Most things will be streamed from my server or other PCs in the house. To me there are just too many hang-ups and lack of customization with...

    Pixel 6 / Pixel 6 Pro / Pixel 6a

    I'm really tempted on a Pixel 6. I'm rocking a Pixel 3XL(fairly new too so good condition and good battery) and I'm just not sure if the upgrade would be worth it. And then I'm thinking if I do get one, should I go just the 6 or the pro? I would want a 256gb model either way, the price...

    Ravencoin

    I own about 2000 RVN. Not much and not gonna bother selling any, just something to hold on to long term. I might start a card or 2 mining RVN at some point.

    3070 Ti EVGA Notify Queue

    Yes. This is in Canada. It looks like BB Canada is doing more in store drops. They have also disabled the online inventory checker so the only way to find out if they have stock is to walk in and ask. That said I was on a Discord and someone in the BC channel said my local BB had some 3060s so I...

    3070 Ti EVGA Notify Queue

    I was busy at the time so couldn't manage to get a notify until 7:15PST so I'm sure I'm way back on the list, but I did put the 3060 I found at BB a week ago in for a step-up to a 3070ti so we will see what happens. Would have preferred a 3080 but from what I understand that step-up isn't moving...

    What was your 1st 3D video card ?

    TNT2, still have it sitting in a box in the shed. Also had an ATI All in wonder 128 Pro around the same time and a little later tried out a Voodoo 3 2000. Looking back I'm not even sure how I could afford it, I was in high school at the time. I spent a lot of time building, overclocking, etc...

    Daily Mining Profits

    I"ve got 4 cards going: 6700XT Vega 56 2070 1070Ti Total of 143 MH/s. Overall not the most efficient, but it works. My current profit has averaged about $10-12 a day the last 4 days or so, with a few spikes here and there, but power cost is less than $2/day so still worth it.

    What is your "coping" strategy for the time until you can get a latest-model Nvidia/AMD GPU?

    Same here. The money is not an issue, but supporting this kind of markup is a no go. Up here in Canada Best Buy didn't bother with an online drop last week, instead they spread stock to stores and you had to physically walk in and buy them. Didn't work out all that great though, I missed an EVGA...

    Daily Mining Profits

    I'm using the Nicehash miner on my AMD cards, not Quickminer. Quickminer wont even start unless an Nvidia card is detected. I still get no stats with my 6700XT in the Nicehash miner client, I do get stats with my Vega 56. I can see those stats for my 6700XT elsewhere though so I'm not too...
