Just coming in to say that the WRT32x router is a beast. Throw OpenWRT, DD-WRT, or Gargoyle on it and it becomes even more of a beast! Definitely a good pick for a router, if Wifi6 isn't a concern.

Yep, you’re no stranger to expensive hobbies! This GPU market is insane and I want to distance myself from nVidia over their current price practices. Thank goodness for competition, but maybe Intel’s next iteration will be competitive enough in the $400-$600 bracket.

What model Zotac card is this?

Here's a bump for a great product at a great price! The WRT32x router is fantastic! I've been running one with Gargoyle on it for about a year now and couldn't be happier. Upgrading from an older WRT1900ac, the difference was apparent, and the 1900ac was no slouch.

What color and storage is this iPhone?

It was hard not to think of you when I came across this news, given our discussion in another thread. :LOL:

I applaud you for being transparent on your stance and am a bit surprised to hear you say Nintendo is your preference. Not surprised in a demeaning way, just, well, I didn't really know who you favored, only who you did not. Yeah, well, maybe I wound up enjoying the discourse. :eek: I'm sorry...

I found this GameIndustry.Biz article to be very insightful with lots of great quotes from Microsoft's latest acquisitions to the Xbox Games Division portfolio. Here's but a few choice quotes, but I implore you to read the whole article, if this aspect of the video game industry fascinates you.

This is you, again, moving the goalpost. When a studio, IP, or team is purchased is absolutely irrelevant and some weird condition you've created to invalidate my counterpoints. I gave you an explicit quote from Moon Studios stating Microsoft owns the Ori IP. Again, simply put, it doesn't...

Well, now you're just moving the goal post. So, you're right, having this dialogue with you "isn't worth the time."

Ah, I was thinking in the context of the end user, not from a development standpoint. If nothing else, this is good advertisement for AMD's current state of affairs with their CPU offerings!

I PM'd you about a week ago with no response. I assume this item has already been sold. (That or life has gotten in the way.)

That's a damned near-perfect blob result! My most recent switch from MX-4 to Pk3 showed quite a lot of dry area around the corners from my MX-4 application. Clearly I didn't use enough paste the first time, but "rice-sized" is a bit smaller than "pea-sized" and, even then, "pea-sized" is a hard...

What kind of good things could come from Linus' switch? I genuinely don't know and would like to hear more.

From the Diablo IV team's February Quarterly Update: This reads to me like you can zoom the camera in and out to fit your preference.

That is super shitty to straight-up deny a warranty claim over that. It is has been advised in the past by some electronics manufacturers to plug a device directly into the wall, but there's a lot of evidence that proves plugging into a surge protector is benign. Yours is the first I've heard...

Ha! :ROFLMAO: Someone had to acknowledge this was a funny joke...

My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked membership expires in October. That is going to be a sad day. I don't think the price increase will deter me from Day-1 releases. It's within my financial means to spend the extra $10. At face-value, I don't like the thought of paying more, but, knowing my...

You're wrong about Ori (see below) and Microsoft absolutely could have made Minecraft an Xbox/PC exclusive. They didn't and that doesn't fit within your argument, but it is a clear example that Microsoft is not as draconian as they have been in the past. You're not wrong about them being...

What a very odd thing to focus on. "Nixes" as a meaning for all the different distros of Unix/Linux that are out there. But does it really matter how many characters I'm typing? This sentence is sure misleading and it muddles up whatever point you're trying to make. And your assumption of...

It very much reeks of governmental intervention. I wonder why, though I am sure we may never know.

Haha, I am glad I am not the only one that was puzzled by that. Diablo 3 has become a mainstay title for me this generation, pumping in hundreds of hours into it. It's in such a great spot, compared to when it launched, and the console ports are simply sublime. I do wish devs would stop this...

Those results are unsurprising and in line with what AMD has touted for the XTs. There's surely a reason why AMD sought to release these chips, but I'm not exactly clear what that is.

Microsoft is focusing on services as the forefront of their new business models. Software as a service's revenue per user is a much more lucrative venture, so your post's scenario is about as realistic as a llamacorn becoming president.

Linux adoption isn't going to be driven by games being ported over to it; it's the business world that will dictate that. And, to be fair, there's lots of Linux/Unix servers out there in the world, but that's the backbone. End-user workplace adoption needs to become commonplace. Of my 15 years...

Microsoft's strategy is to bring games to both PC and their Xbox platform, so the bolded/italicized confuses me. I assume you mean the *Nixes with "alternative OS'", but the second implies they won't be coming out for PC. And, to be fair, the *Nixes do have game support, but the native library...

EA, Activision, and Take Two are also interested. Of the 4, I feel Microsoft's games division is the lesser of all evils. This is going to be an interesting story to follow.

If this meant a real tangible Yeah, I'm not too bothered by it. Not only do I have enough Apple chargers lying around, I also have tons of USB type-a ports on so many things that I can also use them. I'd like for the lack of these accessories to be reflected in the price of the device, but...

That is expensive. It's hard for me to justify the cost to even experiment, when I have 2 tubes of thermal paste (MX-4 and PK-3) that, together, cost less than the one pad. What were your results? This is a really good resource! I've always done the pea-sized blob in the middle. It's always...

That's quite the Passmark score jump between the 3930k and the other CPUs. Is it just the extra cores that make the difference or are those Xeons that much better chips?

I second this!

Did you ever get this fixed? I know you posted on at least another forum, but I'm curious to hear what you found.

This is the hottest of hot take. I have an i7-3930k and a 2070 Super overclocked to 2080. Running 3D Mark benchmark Time Spy

I am still floored at how these older CPUs fare in terms of gaming. I have a 3930k that I have little reason to upgrade, for now, as I game a 60fps and it has admirably served all games I've played well throughout its life.

I'm still rocking an i7-3930k after all these years. Rather than dropping over $500 for a new CPU+mobo, can I reasonably expect to get a bump in performance going the cheaper route of simply dropping in a Xeon CPU? The clock speeds, as others have mentioned, are immediately off-puting. I've been...

Is the blower cooler that bad on this? Or is this sprinkled with a shade of hyperbole? I honestly don't know and this deal is tempting me greatly.

EDIT Never mind, addressed in another post.

I just purchased an RX 580 and can now safely get back into PC Gaming once more. My friend has preached Fallout: New Vegas as being the best in the series and has commanded me to play it. I normally play games as-is, the way the developers released it, but I know Bethesda games have a very...

Yeah, inquiring minds gotta know!

That theory could partially explain the high prices. Yeah, nVidia is charging an arm and a leg because they can, but with ray-tracing they can at least flaunt cutting-edge graphics. I’m waiting for the prices to come down from the stratosphere. That theory could partially explain the high...
