I guess we have a difference in opinion then. I have no issue with zero rate billing but still would like all my traffic to be treated equally. Which is what I have referred to as net neutrality. I have been educated now that other places are combining zero rate billing into net neutrality...

Is no say comcast count not as data in the montly total some service like their own IPTV ? Zero rate billing has nothing to do with net neutrality. as long as the traffic is treated equally, thats all that matters. Zero rate billing is the proces sof excluding some data from other data for...

The funny thing is that they (the big companies) are vehemently opposing net neutrality, even though they could use it to really screw over small providers. In short, your example is right, without net neutrality, the ISP could prioritize critical services. With it they cannot. Personally, I'm...

LukeTbk OK I see where your coming from now. Sadly though, no, upscalers don't work that way. You don't get a 'better' image by rendering at a lower resolution and then using an upscaler to fill in the rest. They are not actually improving the textures, they are just filling in pixels lost due...

LukeTbk To me what your describing is not upscaling tech, its AI enhancement to existing images. To my understanding, upscaling is the way to render a frame at a lower resolution and 'upscale' it to display natively at a higher resolution. It does this by using various techs to 'fill in the...

I'm not getting what your saying here. If I'm reading this right I'm thinking you and I have a fundamental difference in understanding of what tech like DLSS and FSR are and why are they used. If you think about it, what DLSS and FSR do is 'make up' mixing pixels. Say your doing a 4k image...

LukeTbk I am referring to rendering native. Any upscaling tech (DLSS or FSR) has its downsides compared to native rendering (latency, loss of fidelity, ect) and personally, I spend a lot of money to have things look pretty, not to have a slightly higher framerate but it look not as good...

If i may offer a differing opinion. the 4070 ti super reviews have shown it to be a lackluster product. https://www.techspot.com/review/2793-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-super/ It's not a 4080, and it sounds like you don't upgrade very often. Personally, I would look into the 7900 XTX. But if...

This must be a thing specific to China. I don't believe its legal in the US to set price floor's like this. Once the product is sold to a retailer, right of first sale states that they can do whatever they want with it, including resell it for whatever price... that's what MSRP is. Recommended...

do we know if 24.2.1 is going to get an official release or what the next major driver release will be?

AI has some extremely promising benefits. As an example. AI writes better marketing copy than marketers. It can spit out pages and pages of copy with very few issues. The difference being instead of the marketer needing to make up copy, instead it just needs a final sanity check by a human...

second article has a great example of what hyperthreading actually does, and it makes sense. When we only had 1 or 2 cores in a CPU, hyperthreading was a game changer as it really allowed us to parallelize at the CPU level that was not possible before. Now though, its a hinderance to...

I have been having major issues with these drivers. After three days of fiddling I give up and just went back to 23.12.1 In my case installing these drivers causes my machine to lock up on boot. I can log into windows and then it freezes. Cant do anything except hard reset it and remove the...

One thing I will state, if your playing around in AI, the 7900 series VRAM is very very good. Problem is a LOT of the commonly used software is stuck in CUDA land. You can get vulcan and rocm builds to work, but it takes extra effort. Meaning out of the box its far easier to get started with an...

I've been using a 7900 XTX with a decent 850w psu for over a year now and had no issues with spikes. Driver wise, has not been a problem for me. Performance has been good, no complaints So I wouldn't worry about that, its more really what vram you want, if you want RT or Nvidia's software...
