Wait, was this a real product that consumers could buy?

This seems appropriate. I'm also nearing completion of my PhD in novel laser development, so I find news like this to be very exciting.

I totally understand that, especially after the past week of digging around forums for possible solutions to this problem and finding so many of them that had people never stating what they did after receiving helpful advice. It's still curious to me that the crashes were only happening in...

Fixed. It was the thermal paste. Even at -20% or -50% Power Limit, the Hot Spot temp under AIDA64 GPU test would regularly hit 100-109C. I am now able to push it to +50% Power Limit again, with the hot spot hovering around ~90C. If I keep the power limit around +20%, the hot spot drops to...

I flashed BIOS to the latest version (did not fix the problem). I also ran memtest with no errors found. I have installed Afterburner. What is a good increment step to increase the gpu voltage by?

So I'm going to necro this thread because I'm recently having some odd system crashing issues. I currently own a Vega64 with a Morpheus II aftermarket cooler. I have not adjusted any of the voltage settings, and have been satisfied with gaming performance by adjusting the Power Limit to +50%...

We don't need to go that route. We can just use our national influence to prevent Chinese companies from selling their technology in the Western world (see the 5G/Huawei issue).

This information is wrong, or just misunderstood. Just because you file a patent in the United States and obtain a patent in the United States, does not mean that you are automatically granted the same patent in a member nation. This is very important to understand: All that this convention...

I watched a documentary some years ago about people getting scammed/defrauded through phone and email through the usual methods, such as the Nigerian Prince or some other financial windfall. What was interesting was that a couple of these individuals kept investing in the scam and refused to...

...exactly what does that have to do with the state of PC gaming? That might be an argument about the PC modding/overclocking community and why overclocking fell out of popularity.

Don't post nonsense articles and try to defend them with nonsense arguments and this won't happen.

The article posted by the OP was a hatchet job on the original article coming straight from Newzoo. Here are some quotes from the actual Newzoo article with respect to the PC gaming industry: The assertions made by Newzoo totally contradict the nonsensical analysis from that hack in the OP's...

...are you just upset because you can't afford a used GTX 1080? I sense a lot of rage from you toward the PC gaming community.

We get notifications about new Chinese academic journals all the time and end up harassed in email to submit our work to them. They are desperately trying to compete with the West in this area, but their journals simply lack acceptance among the larger scientific community because of all of the...

I am finishing my PhD in a prestigious optics college that has an undergraduate optical engineering program. I've been the TA for a semiconductor physics course in that college for several years, and there are always students willing to cheat. The difference that I have seen is in the attitude...

Because the delivery service is already factored into the price of your meal, and the better chains (like Domino's that is notoriously efficient) tend to plan out delivery routes better to save on cost. That is part of the problem here. Uber Eats wants to provide the delivery driver, take a...

I store massive amounts of data, simulation code, laser and semiconductor designs in OneDrive Academic, along with using Office 365 Academic, which is provided by my university for free. All of that work is funded and is legally owned by either DARPA or the NSF. I would love to see Microsoft get...

Oh, sweet nostalgia. I should pull out my old Alienware laptop when I get home and just stare at it for awhile. I still think it is a thing of beauty and I'll never get rid of it.

I hope to see great things coming from AMD with this hiring acquisition. I have always been a fan of Alienware. When I was a teen, I remember seeing their beastly builds in PCGamer and drooling, wishing I could afford one. I still have my $5000 Alienware laptop from 2005. It was a beast back...

I water-cooled and overclocked my FX-57 and dual 7800GTXs, and then my q6600 and 4870x2. However, when I upgraded my processor and graphics card again after that, I found that I didn't feel the need to overclock anymore as I was getting pretty good performance in almost all the games I was...

Oh wow. If you don't understand why code written to be optimized for hardware standards back in 2004 does not necessarily play nicely for hardware standards today, I can't help you. It is not just the graphics engine running DX9c. It is the server structure behind all of it as well that has to...

The popularity of private servers running versions of vanilla WoW for the last several years and sustaining a dedicated player base is proof enough that there is some fraction of the community that will support this project in the long term, if done correctly. I am sure there are many other WoW...

They have gone "above and beyond" just to figure out how to recreate vanilla WoW as it was in patch 1.12. They had to figure out how to break certain things in code to get the graphics just right, because some of the things that rendered in vanilla were the result of bugs that existed at the...

The whole point of the WoW Classic project is to re-release WoW as it was at the end of vanilla (patch 1.12). There has been a lot of support for this for many years (just look at the popularity of all the private vanilla WoW servers). This is not meant to appeal the general gaming population...

Fancier graphics? Have you even been paying attention to the development of WoW Classic? They are intentionally breaking some of the code in order to give us the original vanilla WoW graphics, low-res polygons and all. They made it clear that this will, for the most part, be a faithful...

Or trying to die somewhere strategic that will make getting back to your corpse easier, without pulling additional mobs to die to again.

While I think that the gaming population is a little more skilled these days and boss mechanics back in vanilla are rather simple by today's standards, it is the amount of time it will take to take people through content that will scare most of them off. The moment they realize that you have to...

I have yet to find anyone in my guild (this guild has been together since vanilla), or any of the teams I raid with that want to relive "classic" WoW, especially those who raided back then. The nostalgia is going to wear off really, really quickly for many of those who want to relive the glory...

Meh. Transistors the size of a quark are so ten years ago. What do they plan to power with this thing? My alarm clock?

I think a lot of this depends on what job and degree we are talking about. If it is a position that requires technical skills that can be acquired with training outside of a typical university/college situation, then there might be less value to having a degree. However, if we are talking about...

Honestly, you could probably get just below 1 nm in some highly specialized research experiments. However, once you get down to issues with the actual spacing between atoms, you just can't get around quantum tunneling effects. There was that research group out of Europe a year or two ago that...

This is a good article to read for some answers to your question. EUV Lithography Finally Ready for Chip Manufacturing So there is already a pathway to 1 nm processing, but with serious complications that still need to be overcome (and it's absolutely not cost-effective).

Okay, so that price just changed. It was at the sale price not 30 minutes ago when I last checked. Is this deal already dead?

Come on, you know those $25 high pressure Noctua fans are awesome. ;) This is still a fantastic deal. I would get a few, but I am all out of fan slots!

Try looking at the HP Omen 32. It is not a bad monitor for the price, and you get FreeSync with it.

I mean, Japan wanted it at one point. Maybe they will want it again? ;)

It's far easier to deflect than admit that you let your own bias cloud your judgement on a foreign issue that you clearly did zero research on.

So, now you are arguing that conservatives in Australia are really just American "leftists" and no true "conservative" (by whatever definition YOU decide on) would push this type of legislation? I think you boxed yourself into a corner and now you are playing semantics.

I am pretty sure that strip of LEDs corresponds directly to how many P states are being used at any given time. I could be wrong on this.

Not a Vega 64 variant, no. But I have done water cooling on my rig in previous years with both Nvidia and ATI cards. I know there is going to be a lot of pressure on that back plate retention bracket when I unscrew it.
