    Radeon VII prices...

    It's definitely quite a bit slower than a 2080 Ti, but can compare to a 2080/2080S depending on the overclocks and specific game.

    Rise and Fall of the [H] team

    Hah, yeah it certainly heats my house, but heating my house with gas is soooo much cheaper, haha. Not sure I will be able to fold full time at home during the summer at this place -- I don't think the A/C unit will be able to handle it. At my old house I had a swamp cooler and it didn't matter...

    How can I change F@H power level based on idle?

    Pause/Resume will pause the work unit and then resume it where it left off. The thing is once it starts a simulation, sometimes you can't change the amount of threads (sometimes you can, but it depends on the specific simulation, and how many threads you had before and how many you are going...

    Rise and Fall of the [H] team

    With the big update earlier this morning I just barely clawed my way into the top 20. :D We'll see if it lasts, though, haha. My PPD has risen a bunch lately but I'd imagine many others will as well..

    GPU Folding w/Radeon on Linux

    This is your problem Try this: sudo apt install opencl-dev EDIT: Hrmm seems like you have the ICD installed already -- is the opencl-dev package just a virtual package that installs ocl-icd-opencl-dev or is it something else?

    new motherboard with suport zen 2 and zen 3 later??

    Zen 3 will not be DDR5 -- that won't come until Zen 4. I mean, nobody knows for sure, but honestly there is a pretty good chance that at least the 32Mb B450/X470 boards and X570 (and B550) will all support Zen 3.

    Chinese Coronavirus

    Yeah I used to be big into Seti@home back in the late 90's and early 2000's. Used to borg it at school, lol, I was like in the top 30-40 people overall This is of course before they moved it to boinc.

    Chinese Coronavirus

    Just install the FAHClient and ensure it's setup to use your GPU. These are GPU only units. Check out the guide here if you need help setting up FAHClient Leave the "Cause Preference" on "Any" (it doesn't specifically list Covid-19 in the list) and you should get the units -- it seems they are...

    new motherboard with suport zen 2 and zen 3 later??

    Nope, I'm not sure. Nobody can be sure because AMD has not said for sure what will and what won't be compatible.

    new motherboard with suport zen 2 and zen 3 later??

    Just make sure it's the Tomahawk Max -- and you will probably be fine.

    new motherboard with suport zen 2 and zen 3 later??

    No, there is no confirmation at this point about the compatibility of Zen3 (which will be 4th gen Ryzen, 4000 series). That chart only goes to 3rd gen / 3000 Series which is Zen2. I would imagine that at the very least, B450 with 32Mbit BIOS and all X570 boards will support Zen3, though.

    Game recording on old CPU, which SW with lightweight video format/codec?

    Why are you not trying Radeon ReLive like myself and other posters have mentioned several times on this thread. That way you can be sure to take advantage of your GPU's hardware acceleration. You will likely get much better quality by going that route.

    150mm maximum Tall Air Cooler recs?

    Be careful with 92mm fan coolers -- if the AMD Prism is too noisy for you then a 92mm fan cooler is likely to be too noisy as well.

    Ryzen build memory question DDR4 3200 cl14 or 3600 cl16

    True, but it would have to be some pretty shitty b-die to not do 3600-16.

    Ryzen build memory question DDR4 3200 cl14 or 3600 cl16

    Either one is fine -- you should be able to overclock the 3200-14 to 3600-16 Don't worry about the supported list.

    NVIDIA Ampere GPUs to feature 2x performance than the RTX 20 series, PCIe 4.0, up to 826 mm² dies and 20 GB of VRAM

    NVIDIA Ampere GPUs to feature 2x performance than the RTX 20 series, PCIe 4.0, up to 826 mm² dies and 20 GB of VRAM

    Game recording on old CPU, which SW with lightweight video format/codec?

    What GPU do you have? That link just takes me to sapphires site not a specific GPU. Is it an RX560 ? If so that GPU would have hardware encoders in it so you should be able to just use the Radeon ReLive software built into the drivers and it will do the compression using the hardware encoder on...

    NVIDIA Ampere GPUs to feature 2x performance than the RTX 20 series, PCIe 4.0, up to 826 mm² dies and 20 GB of VRAM

    Well, it's all released -- they aren't still working on it. Even the link you posted says you need windows 1809 or later. It doesn't run well on regular gpu cores because it is very branchy code. Nothing to do with precision. In fact the regular gpu cores are involved in parts of the process --...

    AMDs chiplet design allows them to reduce cost

    It probably costs Intel $3k or less (honestly probably $2k or less) to run a single wafer on 14nm. That would be including ALL fab costs, materials, labor etc. They surely get more than 2-3 18-core dies from a single wafer.

    Windows10 installion media creation tool : how current is current?

    Yeah, use this -- don't bother with an ancient version and then have to spend all day updating it. Whenever a new version of windows comes out you should get a new media creation tool and make a new USB.

    Big Navi

    I mean I don't disagree that the rumor is fake, but AMD's ROPs have historically NOT been tied to the memory bus width like on nvidia cards. IMO a 96ROP card with an "even number" memory bus width is not implausible.

    Big Navi

    The HBM question is simple. When they design a GPU they design it for a specific amount of memory bandwidth. If that number is not achievable on GDDR6 they will do HBM. It's that simple. Now, where is that cutoff? Well, it depends on if you think a 512-bit GDDR6 bus is realistic or not. Given...

    Monstrous 500W Intel Xe MCM Flagship GPU Leaked In Internal Documents – 4 Xe Tiles Stacked Using Foveros 3D Packaging

    Ok. I mean I have heard that rumor too and frankly it seems weird for them to use TSMC 7nm -- especially if it was originally supposed to be on Intel 7nm -- as moving to TSMC 7nm would essentially be moving to a much larger node. That rumor would have more teeth IMHO if it said moving to TSMC...

    AC side wiring, replacing copper with aluminum

    Ok so you already harvested the IEC connector, and now need to replace it. I see. You should be fine using the hookup wire you have -- alu will be fine -- just make sure your solder job is clean, and completely remove the old wiring from the PCB and the IEC connector, clean up the solder and...

    AC side wiring, replacing copper with aluminum

    Ok, that is definitely AT. So why are you trying to swap the IEC main input connector? The input should be able to be fine as-is. Is that Diablotek PSU ATX or AT? The OUTPUT of these types of PSU's is totally different. You can't easily convert them. I'm not even sure what you are trying to do...

    AC side wiring, replacing copper with aluminum

    A dell Dimension XPS would not be AT. It would be ATX. AT died way before the XPS line ever existed. Can you post up some pics of what you are actually trying to do because I think you are getting some terminology wrong which is making it a bit confusing.
