Thanks, dude!! This upcoming week is my birthday, so if they get here before tuesday that would be great. :) No hurries, tho. :D

Money on your way! Thanks! Grog

Titanium has really poor heat transfer; the outer surface would vaporize under heavy braking, making it an ablative disk. You need a good heat transfer to prevent ablation. Steel works well, cast iron works well; Stainless steel would have the same issue as Ti. Learn some engineering; it's...

Dude is tenacious, lol.

intel is off my list until they fix KNOWN problems. I'm looking forward to a new system next year, and it will likely be all AMD for the first time in ~20 years. The last one was a Barton core XP2500M processor and an x850 video card, on an Nvidia motherboard, lol. It ran an x13.5...

The 16xx chips are supposedly unlocked, the 26xx chips are locked. :) If I get the 26xx chip, I'll see what I can do with BCLK. :) I put a Xeon X5670 in my I7-920/X58 system, and it runs much faster and cooler than the 920. But there's an issue with the multiplier resetting to 22 at odd times...

Crap! It crashes on launch. I guess I've missed some dependencies, lol. Works great in openGL or software, so it's Vulcan. Vulcan works under DOOM, so I'm betting it's the C runtime; off to M$ I go, lol.

Q2 runs great on a raspberry PI, under Linux; Gotta keep the interns in line, lol. :) I wonder how the Crakwhore skins look in this release? I remember getting it to run on openGL mode on an S3 Virge card with 4MB of Vram, back about 20 years ago; after all that effort, it ran 4 frames/second...

I replaced two $600 cards with a $250 card a couple of years ago, and have better performance, and less heat. There's no way I'm ever paying $2500 for a video card, lol. I'm an engineer; most performance per dollar is what keeps you employed; building a system with a $2000 processor, $1000...

I'd be afraid of being sued for getting glitter in someone's eye. I'd hate to end up paying a thief for "injuring" him. :rolleyes:

I'm in. :) I'm getting bored with the processor I got with this system; I'm hoping I can OC one of these. :)

So, the fails on the previous 2080 generation were just really bad chips they tried to salvage by turning off some features, but the chips were really, really bad. With these cards failing pretty publicly, (previous story) maybe these chips have some flaws that don't show up until they're...

What, space invaders is now "Top of the stack?" Rofl That AIW card still runs in an old PC I use to digitize old videos, it's 4:3, and old. But it still works after 10+ years, unlike any NV card I owned.

No, they lied about 64 bit capture drivers for my 7800GTX. Years ago. Don't lie, don't misrepresent, and be honest. That's all I ask for. AMD did supply drivers for an all in wonder card, that I still use. Fuck the fuckers. Sorry, to be PC, it should be Hug the Huggers. (Translate that to...

This seems a lot like the Win10 saga; the manufacturer is Beta testing hardware in this case. The RTX fails we've seen with the 2080 card were the beta tests for the full-up Titan cards. This is obviously a design issue at this point, as "Test Escapes" doesn't hold water here. If they can't...
