    What was your justification for RTX 2080 ti?

    I had money, I had a 1080, decided to just get it because I want happiness more than money, and video cards make me happy.

    EVGA RMA Experience: 1070TI for a $200 980TI

    I sold my 980Ti to a guy right after receiving my 1080 (and well before I knew that I'd be stepping up to a 2080 Ti, thanks EVGA!) Two months after the guy bought it off of me on Craigslist he messaged me and asked if I still had a warranty on the card. I told him I still did and as long as he...

    First RTX 2080 Benchmarks Hit the Web with DLSS

    Chart titles typically don't contain any conclusions, they label the data being displayed. I'm sure you are correct, but that chart is worthy of being posted on https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisugly/ and provides absolutely zero additional information beyond "1 ... 1.5 ... 2" and a list of...

    First RTX 2080 Benchmarks Hit the Web with DLSS

    The very top says: RTX 2080: 2X 1080 ...are they implying that they were running two 1080's in SLI when benchmarking this? I too enjoy publishing numbers with zero context and no axis labeled.

    MSI GTX 980TI Gaming 6G - $562.82

    BOOOOO! Only one DVI port. :( ...just kidding, while it only has one DVI port, still a great price for a 980 Ti!

    Looking for a good wifi router

    I am using a TP-LINK Archer C7. It's an AC1750 device with a few USB ports, 4 gigabit ports and a few other features. I got it for about $70 from Staples.com when it was on sale and I had coupons. So far it's been pretty reliable, but I hear great things about those several ASUS products...

    HW Firewall for home

    The router is a hardware firewall (most likely.) It might not have a wide array of features, but which features are you interested in compared to what a simple wireless/wired router would provide? Ideally, if your current router is a wireless router, you would put the hardware firewall...

    Best Firewall for under 200 bucks for an Office of 6-10 Users

    Well for him I wouldn't recommend that solution--install it on a machine and hook up a 15" CRT for when he needs to access it directly. No Windows definitely! :) I was only mentioning my use-case, I figured he'd be solid enough to figure out that would be a sub-optimal solution for his needs.

    Best Firewall for under 200 bucks for an Office of 6-10 Users

    For my house (anywhere from 5-50 devices connected, depending on whether or not I'm hosting a LAN party) I use a pfSense box. I built a Core i3 machine with 8GB of RAM, put Windows on it (Win7 Pro x64) and am running a virtualized pfSense installation using VMware. This leaves the machine...

    How do you store and manage passwords at work?

    PasswordSafe for me. I use it in combination with PasswdSafe and PasswdSafeSync on my Android device, utilizing Google Drive for storing the password file and all backups. Sync it across 4 devices without issue!

    free graphics intensive game?

    Some folks say Planetside 2's graphics engine (ForgeLight) is pretty intense. I haven't had a "weak" system to compare it against, but it'll run my FPS pretty low in large-scale fights. Pretty easy to find a larger fight, too--just hit "Instant Action" once you log on.

    KNC Titan Scrypt ASIC 250mhash @ 800-1000w

    I don't want anything to do with it, LOL. The manufacturers of this supposed printing press can make whatever claims they want. They don't see profit in manufacturing and running these units... or, rather, they see more profit in manufacturing and selling them to YOU (or someone else.)...
