YGPM about the laptop

I might be interested in the 4080S, depends on what I decide to do with the existing 3080. Selling it would offset the price of the 4080S a decent amount... Of course, we'll have to wait and see what availability looks like when they're available. I primarily want it for ARK SA. DLSS on...

I'm tempted to upgrade myself... but only just tempted. I've stated multiple times here on this forum I'm voting with my wallet and sitting this round out, but ARK SA is kicking my ass on my 3080... yeah its an unoptimized pos, but I LOVE ARK. it's a tough call, I just got my dedicated server...

Shoot, Server 2022 DC/Standard (for backup servers) alone for our new Nutanix Cluster was pushing at least 60k alone... and that's just what we have On-Prem! I don't want to think about our global data centers.... *shudder* To tie back to the OP, again... what HW costs... really very...

Nailed it, and yes sir, the server space is very interesting right now. It's also always fun to point out the HW-cost often is a drop in the bucket compared to the software licensing you're going to be incurring running whatever program/suite you're after. No one is going to give a crap...

After reading through this whole thread the past few days, what a ride. Quanity of obtained pillows seems to have no end, but... Comixbooks, I just have to know. What does your personal ULTIMATE Valari Gaming Pillow™ look like? The one pillow, that if made, would make you say "You know, I am...

THRESHIN I know I'm a few days late here, but if you're looking for a GREAT OG D2 experience, you should check out r/slashdiablo on reddit. Here me out. It's a modded version of d2, repackaged, includes the required glide wrapper... and just plain works. It does require a 1.13 installer (not...

^^^ completely agree The Donut , I'm only 3-4 years into my bluray collecting, but between that, PLEX and vinyl, I love actually owning that physical copy of media and not being reliant on a subscription. You mention license changes, and I get bit by that on Spotify on occasion, and that...

As long as they go Farnsworth, I don't object: Wernstrum's don't hold a candle, I'm forced to side with the housewives on this one. Sorry, first thing that came to mind on the topic. Jokes aside... like all AI, it sounds great on paper, the technology is flaunted as flawless... until it is...

I do agree with most of your post I snipped in my quote, but the portion I quoted is my true fear. Blind trust in AI's output/its conclusion that it draws. The leap that occurs where there is no trained human involved in the decision making process prior to action being taken. Keyword being...

Subject matter jokes aside (I won't make any, I've had similar requests from my Marketing dept at work), my mind immediately goes 3 places: 1) Where is your current bottleneck? Is it the NVMe write speed and your 4090 is underutilized (I'm assuming Topaz AI is CUDA accelerated?) 2) Like...

Not going to lie, that is much more my speed! I might consider getting on their backorder list if this giy is all he rage. I haven't done much SW review research for my smaller application TBH. My office is only 10'x12'.

Thank you! As far as the budget for the SW... you'd have to ask my wife, lol. I gotta lay low for a bit here on the audio goodies (we did a complete 5.1 Paradigm/Denon setup in the living room ~18-24 months ago or so, and now the ES20's/stands....), but once the dust settles I'd venture to say...

Recently picked up a pair of Polk ES20's and ISOAccounstics ISO-200 (large) speaker stands to replace my old Advent Baby II's. My PC's 2.1 audio setup is almost complete (ha, I know)... Only thing still left is I'd like a smaller, punchier sub, this F12 is absolutely overkill for my office. It...

If you're wanted to go with something a bit more traditional looking that does have drawers and storage, I'd check your menards/home depot or w/e for returned base cabinets like you'd find in your kitchen. Cut the toe-kick off of them and they're right at the perfect height. Paint or stain them...

Yep, Dead Space virgin here :D Honestly not sure how I missed this title back in the day honestly, it had to be because I wasn't really into TPS's, only FPS's. Even now in my 30's I was still skeptical going in on "how can a TPS be scary". I got my answer!

I'll throw this out there for anyone else interested in picking this up on sale, I'm loving this game so far 6 hours in, I feel I'm minutes way from chapter 3 (im playing slow most likely, really taking everything in and scouring the areas for logs). My rig and monitor are in my sig, and fully...

I just had 2 buddies hit me up on Steam about it going on sale too lol. It sounds like a no brainer across the board! Installing it now, I know what I'm doing with my Sunday :D Appreciate the fast response Captain!

Hey guys, curious, DS 2023 is on sale right now for 35 bucks on steam as part of the halloween sale. Hold or wait for a higher percentage off? It's been on my wishlist since January and since finishing RE8, I've been feeling the pull of a good horror game with amazing audio.

It's always the first place I go for review articles when new hardware drops, some of the former [H] reviewers moved over there (Dan, Brent, Paul, etc.). Any chance I get to give them clicks/link to them on here, I do.

I'm divided on Win11/Win10 (Home vs Work respectively) on my primary 2 devices and my main 3 gripes about Win11 are of course the telemetry (how much more deader can we beat this horse... and don't take this as I'm fine with it, but man, some of you guys write novels on it every OS-related...

We're a Dell shop and have a fair amount of 5670/80's (top dog 15" Precision models, I hope I got the model right from memory) out in the environment right now with CAMM configurations. With some of our more specialized BU's we rely on being able to up the RAM and such down the road for Ansys...

As someone who sees first-hand the reduced quality of work once WFH was implemented at my place of employment over the past 2-ish years, I'm absolutely not a fan of it (in my particular flavor of "IT work"). Are their sectors and specialty roles where WFH is viable? Absolutely, but for your...

Shit, so it is MUCH worse then HW failure! Been there before myself.... and I do no envy you right now man. No one ever thinks of the prerequisites or getting us involved until the shit is ordered already :( Luckily though, the HW cost is often a fraction of the software cost, so it lessens...

Buying used would be the least rewarding way to go... it's not a DIRECT sale, but like LukeTbk said, you might be enabling someone else's purchase... It's a rough spot to be in :confused: I'm kind of feeling the itch to upgrade but am trying not to scratch it... praying I don't have to be put...

I'd also add FSP Group to the list, but otherwise... yeah, that's about it.

Pretty sure he's the Forest Temple Shadow Gannon, for real. Continuously jumping from window to window... always on the hunt to kill that next moving object he sees outside... What can ya do :D Love my little helper.

This was a fun little project; recycling my old 7700k and other components into an HTPC: Case is a Fractal Design Pop Air Black ATX, I bought it for its simplicity inside and out. No frills what so ever. Currently, a little 1050Ti, but I may very well step up to a Intel ARC A750 here...

Yeah, I'm getting the same vibe... seriously, how can NOT ONE or the side quests make you not feel anything. 2 shell shockers that come to mind are the crucifixion one and the farm-based one... DukenukemX , really? Alright... I loved the game, 130hr completionist playthrough. Only had 1...

If it helps, w/e mods you had most likely don't work with the DX12/Next Gen update anyway. I had to redownload the new version of basically every mod I had (and excluded the top 5 that are now bundled in with the download from Steam like the HD textures, etc.). So few worked any more and I got...

Work gets crazy, the yard needs way to much attention, it's golf season... the computer sits idle for a week and I miss 5 pages of great info. What can ya do :p Appreciate everyone sharing their experiences! [H] is the best. I finally got around to installing BIOS 1616 today after work (up...

Appreciate the info on Armory Crate... I didn't have it disabled in the BIOS, but will be doing that when I get off work. I installed it, realized the BS that it was and uninstalled it. The amount of bloat from every product is already staggering. NZXT for my LED's, iCUE for the Corsair AIO...

What was really fun though was my performance in CPU-limited games! I'm a huge Natural Selection 2 fan still, and pegging 300 FPS it felt even more smooth then it did on the 7700k. Only game I've fired up so far, but the difference was very noticeable. Going to fire up RDR2 here soon, and...

Usually I would do something similar, but in this case I finally went NVME + retired most of my old Crucial MX500's and installed 2 new ones... honestly nothing on the single drive I couldn't just redownload quick. About the only thing I wanted to save was my modded Witcher 3 install, but since...

Apprecaite the feedback! Glad to hear you're having a positive experience with EXPO, and I'd tend to agree the issue is sounding to be a bit overblown. I considered starting with 1602 before attempting to boot first but I still like the old adage "If it ain't broke..." + I didn't like the idea...

I figured I should chime in on my personal experience here. Snagged my 7800x3d and Asus b650e-f about 3 weeks ago, and finally got around to my build this weekend. Assembly was just fine and all, but I got no POST with my gskill 2x32GG kit. Ended up having to EZ FLASH the bios to 1604 (I...

OP used the word best, which is subjective, UT then me turned graphics whichbis a less objective in my mind. Not so much about style, but objectively life-like. These are the first 2 games that came to my mind! Anything with proper binaural audio implemented should be mentioned here. The...

Ah gotcha, makes sense. I recall a Plat version of maybe higher wattage being offered but again, not available. I could be wrong though. Availability on ATX 3.0 high end units is so touch and go still. Snag what you can when you can, which is what I did. I actually posted on...
