This is right. It is also utterly expensive. Mainboard+CPU. And TR is not produced anymore which is a shame so there is a big gap between Ryzen and Threadripper Pro.

Speculations are that RDNA4 will be an optimized RDNA3 with more features to enhance speed, not new functions. The drivers and developpement will then be up to the hardware AMD puts on sale, which is currently not the case for some time now. There won't be any RDNA 4 card to upgrade the RX...

RDNA3 cards are good value only for the players playing games in raster mode without supersampling. There is no other reason to buy these cards instead of Nvidia for any other use.

Just choose 4060Ti 16GB or 4070 12Gb instead of 3060 12GB. Forget about 4060 8GB.

Have you tested Cyberpunk on it ? :LOL:

I've been ill for a week but that was just a flu that turned worse. Had to take antibiotics. And all that as the temperature is more than 30°C (more than 85°F). No Covid. Covid is not any worse than a heavy flu today. The virus evolved to be less harmfull. It's a whole different virus. The...

The RTX 4090 will be still good in 5 years and ok in 10 years, for gaming. If you already own it, it's good investment. Professionally speaking, today, 4090 is great for CUDA, Optics and AI. Best for mining, best for anything in parallel computing and supported everywhere because of CUDA, and...

Maybe Radeon HD 7970 (especially the 6GB version) and the Radeon 290/X, especially the 8GB version. Those cards are still able for gaming today, including basic DX12 acceleration, after more than 10 years. They can play anything in HD (no RT and medium details). On the contrary you may have to...

I had exactly the same problem. I had an employee who wouldn't come at the office because of some laws made in France against it during Covid times. Further there were laws that prevent people to come to office on behalf of climate change and some stupid behaviour that I had to prove he needs to...

As will my Windows 7.

So if one locks it's memory on the good and compatible values, fast boot would be the way to go. Good to know. Especially if that memory is ECC. I mean ECC standard in memory for DDR5 +full ECC for the whole system. By this way it would be 10 sec as usual ? And of course no hibernation and all...

XP 64bits will use them up to 128GB or Server for Enterprise or Datacenter 2003/2008 for x86 with PAE will make use up to 64GB RAM (x64 will make use of much more). So it's been a while since one can use much more than 4GB RAM even on 32 bit systems. Not sure one couldn't activate PAE on Windows...

5800X. The sticks are 32GB RAM ECC 3200 Crucial each. And they boot on a Asus Prime A520m-k (2 sticks) and a 5600X with 0 problem. Both motherboards are up to date regarding their BIOS. And I even tested about all of the latest BIOSes if ever some bug or limitation was introduced. But there is a...

I mounted an Asus TUF B550M-PLUS with 128GB of Crucial DDR4 3200 ECC and I has problems booting. It may boot once in a while and also work until it has to bbot (so I could install Windows 11). I tried an Asus Prime A520M with dual RAM slots to test those RAM and they fit okay without a problem...

You need to go to the PDF manual on the support of the card at Asus (or any other brand) and it gives you the details about the dimensions with the picture. It is as if Cooler Master was targetting those Asus cards. It gives you also room for a 3 slot graphics card. However it is limited to a...

Depends on what you're doing. RT and tensors are better compared to CUDA cores on RTX 3000 series and way better on 4000 series. So if you only compare CUDA, you're right. Also because of the tensors, DLSS is better on RTX 3000 and even better on RTX 4000 series, so this is has to be multiplied...

4070 12GB is at 600 euros in Europe. 2080 Ti performance is not even close to that card. I probably would prefer a new 3060 12GB to a used 2080Ti for the same price.

No. Those are really smaller mATX boards. Like Asus Prime 320/520m-K. They don't fit in standard DTX cases and they have 3 PCI slots not 2. In fact there was room in the case for such a motherboard with 4 RAM slots and 24 cm length with 22.6 cm height but I couldn't find one. Smaller mATX...

I finally bought the Coller Master MasterBox NR200. It's a very compact miniITX and partial mATX compatible. Meaning it support mATX of 22.6 cm size in hight like some Assus boards. However those are limited to 2 slot RAM meaning 64GB ECC maximum RAM which is okay. The other case I bought is a...

Yes, well : 2 problems. hoorizontal motherboard and no optical drive (I know ... deprecated... but not for me). The NR 400 is huge. Maximum size I would buy is Antex NSK-3100 for my micro-ATX. I also found the Max-In Power Aero BM1084 with a cheap PSU I will replace. If somebody has some...

I would be even okay with smaller (less large) vertical case, there are none to be found. Silverstone doesn't make those 2 any more. I need 2 of them. I will use a graphics card less large than the major ones for instance the AMD RX 7900XT is of the good size to me or some other RTX 3060 I've...

This is a shitty announcement because this is not going to happen that way. First, you may have to consider AMD did everything to stay out of TSMC 4nm and make use of the tiniest 5nm chip they could for their Navi 31. They even get rid of the prefetch from RDNA 2 loosing some optimisation. This...

Frankly, I only play occasionally a new 3D demanding game once every 2 or 3 years. I used to play more 20 years ago. To much time to spend. Would need 2 or 3 lives to make everything I'd like to. However I use graphics cards for 3D renders for my works. And the improvements due to graphics'...

They are not lying. They are not ought to sell you something working faster than publicized whatever mess is inside the product, that still work as advertised at launch date. The product have been analysed and all the leaks and the insides don't lie. It's not on par with what AMD told us they...

Let's be clear, that prefetch bug is a huge problem, but not really for us, but for AMD who must sell its products at much lower prices. Furthermore, the overclocking will draw much more power without expected results. So just do not think you'll be overclocking that card. So look at the specs...

I think that and RTX 3060 with 12Gb is fare enough now and in the near future, like 2/3 years to come as long as you're on a FHD screen on a 1440P with DLSS. And that's saying you're going to play on recent games and those to come. Don't be fooled by the specs on most demanding 3D games, ultra...

Windows 10 LTSC 2021 ?

Well, Nvidia still has 3090Ti for sale as they still have 4080 but no more 4090. Problem is that they still have tons RTX 3000 of GPUs.

Now that I've seen some tests on the 4080 including CUDA, Optix and RT in gaming compared to the AMD 7900XTX, I underestimated the card. It's only a little slower on raster in gaming but it's much faster than AMD when using RT. AMD makes no use for their matrix cores in RDNA3 for FSR like Nvidia...

The figures are bad for Nvidia on RTX 4000 series. Much fewer people than expected are buying those cards. The 4080 should be at less than $1000. Especially compared to AMD RDNA 3. Furthermore Nvidia have a pile of RTX3000 cards that are not bought at the rate expected. I am quite sure this will...

From a gamer point of view 7900XTX is better than 4080 and 7900XT is little less, but the difference in perfomance between XT and XTX is important (around 25%). So that's some hundreds of dollars cheaper. However for professional work, because Cuda is more supported and because there is no Optix...

Firefox 106 was the problem on some of the following : Win7, AMD CPU or some other hardware (GPU). Seems fixed in 107.

Ok guys. Just think about it : a 4080 has no reason to cost more than a 7900XTX. It has less raster power and less Vram. Nvidia may lower its MSRP price to $1000, once 7900 are available for real (I think December 13 will be a paper launch so it may happen later). I am quite sure of that. And...

Here are the interesting points in having Windows 7 over Windows 10/11, from my point of view. Windows 8 is so bad in every detail, it's out of the question for everybody, I believe. 1) I have professional software I bought, that rare very good and usable and compatible by today standards. They...

About Windows 10/11. Same problem with the UI. MS needs to go back to the standard UI they abandoned nobody can explain why. Oh yes : wasting our time on their system. Windows 7 and Mac have the best UI because it's fas while keeping all the choices at hand. Windows 8/10/11 UI are made for...

I'm doing backups, even system backups (Windows 7 way). Yes. Not sure how to restore on a Raid system if both fail. But if one fails it should be okay. I was taking about BIOS and assuming is was the SSD BIOS or firmware. SSDs have mostly those kind of failure is they are not very much used. So...

Thank you very much. It's what I wanted to know. So it's something else. I have some clue this might be linked to a Java upgrade. I'm going to test my old Intel systams at the office, running Windows 7 too. Another possibility is this has to do with AMD, since Firefox corrected some problems...

Incredible bad work for a graphics card costing that much.

I used the raid system implemented for the chipset on several systems with SSD raid1. I found sata to be more convenient and eating less PCIe lines than Nvme. I always used one SSD Samsung 860 (TLC) and one SSD Crucial MX 500 (in case of some BIOS or chipset failure, it won't be the same reason...

So here is the thing. Since 106.1 after 105.x, Firefox started to be very slow, freeze, having stuterring videos and even videos non working flawlassely, back and forward on their own. First I erased about anything that could help (cache, cookies etc etc) but nothing happened. I desinstalled...
