    i9-13900K benchmark leak?

    My understanding of i9-13900K performance based on what is known so far: 1. Faster than Ryzen 7950 in general 2. AMD 5800FX3D outperforms it in some games but not others 3. High energy consumption and thermals (but undervolting can improve this without much performance sacrifice) So, as a...

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    I just clicked buy on an Asus 'Tuf' 3080ti for $949. I couldn't decide if it was going to drop farther or not. I could see it going either way, and I would kick myself if it went up significantly and never came back down. Now I am on the sidelines, watching and asking: How much did I save or...

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    3080ti for less than $900 available. I want one but I think I will wait until the RTX 4000 series gpus come out and see if they get even lower. I wonder, how low they will get?

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Insane. Did anyone ever buy a RX580 for that much, or even close to that? If so, what was the top price someone paid for a 2080 or 3080?

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    I bought mine for $160 in 4/2020. Now, the exact same GPU is $289. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083W2JP4W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Is it finally time to buy a new GPU? (I've got a Radeon RX580 so obviously I have been putting off an upgrade for a while...)

    So disappointing. :cry: I've currently got an LG V60 and it is amazing. Battery life is forever. Great camera. Features and performance/dollar is very favorable.

    AMD Ryzen 5000 ‘Zen 3’ Desktop CPUs & X570 Motherboards Have High Failure Rates, Reports PowerGPU

    So it makes you wonder, is 'PowerGPU' doing something unusual to cause this high DOA rate? Hard to think of what that would be.

    AMD Ryzen 5000 ‘Zen 3’ Desktop CPUs & X570 Motherboards Have High Failure Rates, Reports PowerGPU

    N=320 units. 19 are DOA. I think that's a reasonable sample size. At about 6% failure I do agree that it seems like we would hear more feedback from the general public though, if that proportion held for all shipped CPUs.

    Can I enable VT-d on an Asus Z87-Pro?

    Wow right you are, thanks! For some reason I could not download the manual on the ASUS site. I will bookmark that link.

    Can I enable VT-d on an Asus Z87-Pro?

    I have an 4770 CPU/Asus Z87-Pro motherboard system that I am repurposing as an Unraid server. I can enable virtualization in the UEFI but can't find an option to turn on VT-d. Does the Z87-Pro support this? (I know the 4770 supports that feature)

    Windows 10's next major update for 2021 codenamed Iron (Fe) 1-c

    Right, but it seems that 'Control Panel' and 'Settings' are redundant parallel interfaces for system configuration. Hard for me to understand why there are both.

    i7 4770K/ 4790K Owners what Ryzen did you upgrade to?

    I just replaced my 4770 with a 3600. For me, the difference is remarkable. I probably am not a typical user. My PC for one is used as an IP cam server in the background (https://blueirissoftware.com/). Also, I tend to have many (20-40) browser tabs open as well as multiple applications...

    Google Maps Pulls Cupcake Calorie Counter After Backlash

    In our country, these people are called 'liberals' or 'progressives.' You're right, that's a misnomer or at least not what the term means politically in Britain where it originated. Regardless, they are squarely on the political left. In our country, people who are in favor of individual...

    Former Opera CEO Calls Google Evil

    Interesting example of Google biasing searches to advance a (leftist) social agenda: Do a Google search for 'American Inventors.' We, or at least I, long assumed a certain degree of objectivity in the search algorithms. Who would use a search engine if they knew that it would distort or bias...

    Why It’s Time To Stop Worrying About First World ‘Gender Gaps’ It’s time to stop worrying about gender gaps. There will never be perfect 50:50 gender parity in every field. Women will be overrepresented in some, and underrepresented in others. Finding a field where women (or men) are...

    Researchers Develop Regenerative Medicine Breakthrough

    This is overhyped. They reprogrammed skin cells in mice so that they regrew a blood supply/blood vessels after vascular injury was induced. That's a far cry from reprogramming any desired cell or tissue type to repair damage or injury, as the accompanying article suggests is possible with this...

    Google Employee behind Anti-Diversity Memo Is “Exploring All Possible Legal Remedies”

    Let's put aside distracting issues and address the central point of contention. I'll ask you again to 1) Cite a scientific assertion that Damore actually wrote that you disagree with 2) Make an evidence based argument that it isn't true.

    This is the 'appeal to authority' fallacy. We should believe you because you are an expert?
