    Upscaling and Frame Generation Usage Poll

    I've used 3x on Cyberpunk and it works well. That is so far the only game I've had where FPS is low enough to warrant it on a 240Hz monitor. I think it depends on the kind of game, speed of your monitor, and also 1st vs 3rd person how much will or won't work. Also individual tastes, of course...

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    That's called a fiber optic HDMI cable. Here's what you do: You get yourself one of these of the length you need. Connect it from your PC to your receiver or TV. That's your video handled. If your PC is far enough away that RF signals aren't good to it, get yourself a long USB extension cable...

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    No it isn't. This idea of "It stands alone" is fanboy copium. Nothing stands alone, even things that don't directly compete still compete and in this case PCs in particular are direct competition in every aspect except size. Trying to go and point out every little difference and act as though...

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    Which is fair... but it does get to be a pretty small market: Someone who wants a system to play Steam games on a TV, doesn't mind that it is Linux meaning some of them won't work, is ok with low-mid-range gaming, needs it to be small, and is willing to pay a fairly sizable price premium. I mean...

    Chinese Chip Giant’s Stock Soars 470% in Start of Trading, Amid A.I. Race

    Of course they are coming for money. The question isn't if they are cheap, it is if they are cheaper and deliver on a better timeline (and also deliver stuff that works and doesn't degrade). It's not even about the enthusiast market, it is about companies like Dell.

    Chinese Chip Giant’s Stock Soars 470% in Start of Trading, Amid A.I. Race

    They may fuck themselves in the long run with this. If China scales up memory and starts to capture the consumer market while they are all cashing in, it could well be that after the bubble bursts they are able to displace a decent chunk of their market. If China demonstrates that it can deliver...

    So if you want a PSU that can monitor 12v-2x6, MSI has two of them the MSI MPG Ai1300TS and Ai1600TS

    Yep, was one of my considerations. HWInfo is useful if you want to log a long run of something like Furmark and then do analysis on it later. Afterburner is more useful for realtime in game monitoring because it integrates in to the overlay if you wish, as well as the ability to set alarm...

    Best laptop for daughter @ college?

    Yes, they are. That also, is not my job, but yes there is a list. Also some departments have recommended systems listed. That's how you can determine if you are in Engineering that a Mac isn't going to run probably 60%ish of the software. That's the sort of thing I'd advise people to research...

    Best laptop for daughter @ college?

    Ok would you like the contact information of the people responsible? Do you want to put together a proposal? Because you are lecturing me on shit I DO NOT CONTROL. I was offering a reason why people might want to look at getting a laptop that works with the software their major wants, because...

    World of Warcraft - 11th Expansion: Midnight

    Never realistically. Something companies found out with MMOs is that people get invested/loyal to the one they play and don't want a new one. Sony had issues with EQ2 for that reason. They basically thought that like with single player or regular multi player games, you'd introduce the new one...

    Best laptop for daughter @ college?

    I mean you are welcome to go and talk to the team who runs it if you want (I'm not on that team) but unless this is something you've actually done for a large enterprise and done on a limited budget, I wouldn't be surprised if your preferred solution has some issues cost often being the big one...

    Playstation single player games will no longer be ported to PC

    Consoles do have that benefit for sure. Also if a game DOES have problems like low FPS or stuttering... you just deal with it. You can't tweak shit to fix it which is a downside for technically proficient people, but can be an upside for a normal person because you don't feel like you are...

    Playstation single player games will no longer be ported to PC

    Yep. At work it went from "Dell can suck a dick with those SSD and RAM prices, we'll buy aftermarket and add it," to "These are as good as it gets, order it from Dell."

    Best laptop for daughter @ college?

    Money. That's always the answer. If you want powerful, low latency, high speed etc, etc, that all costs more. Universities, at least public ones, are under quite the budget crunch. Nobody wants to toss tons of money at having a good solution, particularly when there's cloud providers offering a...

    Got Fiber, ONT Stick Options?

    It could be. Also check the box and see if there's a serial like that anywhere on it.
