Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
The Epic Game Launcher gave me a pop-up notification ad today for another game. Is there a way to turn the ads off? Is it just the "show free game notifications"? And I turned off "run when computer starts".
Thanks I found that finally. The tutorial is broken on mine. It says "Hit R ..." and the bottom of the screen says X but neither work, so I skipped the tutorial. Then X works.
Yeah I noticed that last night. Some of the zooms have overly tiny little windows to look through with big thick scope around it, too much it crosses into annoying and frustrating.
Playing at 4K, seems like the last two options, "volumetric fog" and "screen space reflections" are the...
Twitch can allow whatever they want to. But we all know that woman is doing it on purpose for attention and money. Just accept it, Twitch is Thot Central. Pornhub Lite.
Yeah I was going to ask if the desktop had selected a more aggressive view distance by default over the humble laptop.
Ray tracing for Minecraft might be the perfect starter application for ray tracing. Just keeping my first gen RTX expectations in check. It would be nice to put this hardware...
I would have to experience 1000, 500, and 240 vs my 120 Hz to report if I can feel a difference while gaming. I am fairly certain at least synthetic videos could demonstrate a visual difference wrt motion smoothness. Whether it makes gaming more enjoyable like the jump from 60 to 120/144 is a...
It's some sort of special reference monitor that undercuts the competition. Those who need it will just buy it. It's not for the masses. Sort of weird that it was announced like that to the masses though.
Downclocking a bin affects everything. Cutting AVX performance would only affect AVX. Depends on how much AVX is threaded through today's software stack. I don't run any pure AVX loads. I just wish it would rate-limit issuing AVX ops after a threshold for my usage pattern. If you run AVX...
I want to know how they plan to get around the AVX heat wall. That was the limiting factor on my 8086K. They should offer optional microcode that cuts AVX rate in half or 3/4.
Yeah I'm not going to upgrade my 8086K to 9900K either now, lost the itch. Gonna hold out for the 16/32 Ryzen for a Linux box. Too much perf loss with all the intel security mitigations enabled.
The Logitech rep himself literally told us to buy their gaming model because the model he bought didn't support gaming key combos. We didn't come up with that, Logitech told my brother that.
My brother bought a K740 from Logitech. Turns out while playing games, W (forward) + shift (run) + spacebar (jump) doesn't work. Logitech support said he needed to by the gaming model for that key combo to work. Or basically, they've purposefully broken some of their keyboards to push some...
At the time we had 4x8 and 4x16 on hand of the TridentZ for testing. The problem PC was my brother's and I didn't want to run over spec and hear about 3266 problems later (since 3333 didn't work), so I chose 3133 as the safer choice. If you look at the timings and results in the first post...
My box (2700X) wedged up REALLY hard, where even the reset button wouldn't revive it. That was at 2933 (4x16). I dropped down to 2666. I plan to go back to 2x16 @ 3200 anyway. It ran fine at 2933 but then a crazy hard lock after a month of compiling software.
What's the actual difference between the P0 and R0 steppings? ie, 9900K is listed in both flavors. Or is it literally P0=Coffee Lake, R0=Comet Lake. Re-using the same model name ... then barely anything changed. Bug fixes and microcode and speed path fixes.
In this case, who cares about the leak of heart beat information. All this needs effectively is a unique-per-patient 16-char code to authenticate modification. It seems unlikely that snoopers will be hanging about the reprogramming station to steal the code or alter a modification in progress...
4 sticks? Drop the ram speed. For testing memory, try Prime95 stress testing -- first click Blend, then switch to custom, use 30000 for MB, and 1 for "time to run each FFT". Test for 20-30 minutes.
I feel your pain, I wasted last Saturday diagnosing my brother's pc problems, which was memory...
Using 30 minutes of Prime95 blend w/62000MB + 30 minutes (3 builds) of Linux kernel, 14-14-14-14-34@1.35V:
3000 works
3066 errors in Prime95
3133 errors even with 16-18-16-16-36
I would suggest 2933 or 2866 for actual usage to leave some headroom. One hour of testing is not a lot, but that...
I have 4x16GB TridentZ 3200 CL14 that I will test on an Asus Prime B350M-A board + 2700X this week. No idea what to expect, I've never tried 64GB before.
Worked on my brother's 2700X + Asus X470 Pro (latest bios). The memory won't run at the actual rated speed of 3200, but it will run one under or one OVER. G.Skill TridentZ 14-14-14-34 (Samsung B die), in ANY of the following configurations same results as below: 2x8, 4x8, 2x16.
2xxx...
I'd love to have the S10+ or Note 10 as a new toy, but the truth is that my 5" Pixel 2 is serving my needs fine and has been reliable so far. But I like new and shiny things ...
The windows display driver model was updated from Win 7/8 to 10. There are new pre-emptions that can happen in 10 that can't/don't happen in 7/8. Then the nv driver times out on old windows. Nvidia has been at the tdr problem on 7/8 ever since 10 came out.
I am taking a wag that DLSS probably works a lot better for games like TF2, games without realistic textures. AI upscaling works literal miracles on comic art, but I've not seen great results on photos.
