Just purchased a Gigabyte RX7600 OC 8G for a PC that was only using the Ryzen 5600G as a GPU. Why this card? It was inexpensive, the RDNA 3 architecture, low power consumption, and good enough performance for most gaming. I use Linux most of the time so AMD was preferable to Nvidia. I...

Get the 7900XT. I own the 6900XT so one step behind the 6950XT. I wish I had an RDNA3 board. The only exception that I can think of would be if you want to do GPU Passthrough (VFIO) -- the newer RDNA3 seems to have issues with that.

Well, my Nvidia Geforce 1080TI is 6 yrs old and I'm still using it on a Windows PC -- Linux is my primary where I use an AMD Radeon 6900XT. It's not clear to me that the Arc A770 is better than the 1080TI.

If you're using a wireless router, you're already doing it wrong. The defining characteristic of a mesh WiFi system is a wireless backhaul. A wireless backhaul has the same disadvantages of WiFi so effectively multiplies these problems with the advantage of not having to have a wired backbone...

I don't think Matrox is really a "video technology innovator". The last I heard of this company was the "Mystique" & the Millenium.

Apparently Gen X is dead to them since we don't even get a mention.

I just replaced mine with a Radeon 6900XT. The only gaming I do is 2560x1440 and I mainly use Linux so seemed like a good fit.

I'm kind of surprised that the 6900XT hasn't dropped a lot more. Lowest new price I see is $654 on Newegg. 6950XT's are at $830.

I'm disappointed that they aren't available immediately and also disappointed that they didn't give any pricing/availability on the RX7600,RX7700, and RX7800XT cards or did I miss it?

The 6800xt is the first card that would be an upgrade to the 1080TI (the card that I owned and posted about). I'm not sure what you're even getting at here with 6800xt <> 6900xt. The next generation of RDNA3 cards are going to be faster than the 6900XT too or what would the point be? I have...

Well, when you're multiple generations behind and know that even a 6800XT (previous generation AMD) would be an upgrade -- it's not really speculating much to anticipate that the next generation will have something better than the existing generation of cards.

I still have a 1080TI card and am thinking that the new RDNA3 release will finally be the time to update. I'm running Linux so don't want to roll with Nvidia this time around. Hard to know what the real performance and prices will be before launch but I suspect that they should all exceed my...

The HTPC might make a comeback. Devices like the Nvidia shield are starting to put ads on their home page which aggravates people. PC's in a 4x4 form factor are becoming more common. I can pick up an Asrock Ryzen 3 4300U x4 box with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD drive, and have a box with more...

No matter how it does it, you can be sure that it will be slow if done through Explorer. It always amazes me how Microsoft can screw up such a simple function. It's fine if you're only doing a couple of files but deteriorates quickly when doing any significant number...

60% should be a realistic expectation.

Does this VPN tunnel allow all traffic or are you doing split tunneling? I was wondering if you could peg the line with a speedtest.net test and note the CPU utilization during that test. If you can't do that, can you do some type of sustained file transfer and get the CPU utilization while...

You should be separating the Wifi from the router and using AP's. The router/firewall should be concerned with the routing, firewalling, QoS, and NAT'ing. With respect to QoS, if you have a relatively low speed and asymmetric connection then a router that can do FQ_Codel would be important...

How are you even getting 60Mbs? Upload from the 400/100 site? The lowest common denominator in this scenario is the 50Mbs. You shouldn't be able to download more than 50Mbs from the 400/100 site and shouldn't be able to upload more than 100Mbs since those are your bandwidth restrictions...

What was the encryption algorithm used for the IPSec connection? Also, you're not going to get beyond 80-90Mbs since your uplink speed is limited to 100Mbs -- not that you're anywhere close to that yet.

Still using an Edgerouter Lite here with 1Gbs Symmetric Internet without issue. I'd probably use VyOS since it has a very similar syntax to the Edgerouter if I had to replace it. The big drawback in doing so though would be the power consumption on the HW that I have (old I7-2600K or...

Shows as $394.70 now. Guess I missed it.

I guess the Nvidia 1080TI. I purchased it 4 years ago for $699 and it's worth more now than it was then. I'd prefer a RX 6800-XT now since I'm using Linux but certainly am not going to pay today's prices for a modest upgrade. I'd have to purchase an RX6900-XT go get any noticeable speed...

With the Intel Arc Alchemist GPU's to be release in 2022, what's the driver situation for Intel on Linux? My understanding is that the Intel Iris XE is fully supported in the latest kernels and that Intel is similar to AMD in being open with their drivers and not like Nvidia.

I think you mean Turing Machines -- not turning. Spellcheck in this case doesn't do you any favors. Younger people can't get by without a spellchecker these days. They can't do simple math in their head and they also can't write their own name because cursive isn't taught. I think our...

Just gave my GTX 980 to my nephew so he can wait a bit longer for pricing to return to something a bit more normal. It's been gathering dust since my 1080TI purchase 4 years ago which was only $750. Weird that I could probably sell that for the same price or more than what I originally...

Installing Linux is not the pain it once was. Most Distro's use Calamares and it's just as easy as Windows. Office should not be a concern for anybody at this point. I use Softmaker Office 2021 which has a native Linux install and think it's better than Microsoft Office for what I use it...

Looks like I'm going back to Chromium. Was never a big fan of Firefox anyway.

I guess we all have an idea what another Carrington Event would do to our graphic cards now...

I've discovered some issues which don't seem to occur on your standard cheap keyboard. I've been doing some Linux distro testing and on reboots -- I've run into a the following problems: 1. Keyboard simply doesn't work 2. Keyboard partially works (one of the keys that consistently doesn't work...

I don't think there was when I ordered but in any case, I like the whites. It was just a surprise since my last Unicomp didn't have them.

And after a year, my Mini-M has arrived. Biggest surprise so far is that some of the keys are actually white; my original Model-M had all grey keys. This keyboard has the same key layout as my original model-M (2011 vintage) with respect to the Alt and windows keys which is a positive. The...

Well, 3/20/21 has come and gone and I haven't received mine or any shipping indication. I kind of take that back. I just logged onto their site and see a UPS shipping number from 2/26 when I last posted but UPS doesn't acknowledge that it exists. I then dug down deeper into their details and...

Definitely not for me. I don't really see the attraction but I hope you enjoy it for the amount you just spent on it.

They've finally emailed those that did pre-orders on 2/24 with a release date for the Mini-M. That's supposed to be on or before 3/20/21 so they're about a year late. The price has gone up since then and they're honoring the original price but the shipping charge via UPS ground is $22.25 to...

They seem to be in Kentucky. It's not really known as being a draconian leftist enclave. I've been waiting since last January which is ridiculous.

Am I the only one who thinks that packages are going to regularly arrive on my roof? And possibly down the chimney on Christmas eve?

Is this strictly a hardware benefit or is it dependent on driver? I'm wondering if the same performance increases come when using Linux. If so, are the proprietary drivers a requirement?

The problem with Ubuntu is that it's becoming Windows lite. Canonical acts like Microsoft with their tracking and have way too cozy of a relationship with Microsoft and their WSL2. I like that Debian embraces FOSS.

I went with Debian stable and then used backports to get the latest kernel and Nvidia driver there. I paired it with the KDE desktop -- not sure why somebody would pick something differently now. Other desktops used to have performance advantages but I don't really think that's the case now...
