    Least expensive 10gb switch?

    I'm not aware of any switches that are both cheap (under $200) and have more than two 10gb ethernet ports. 10gbps networking hardware is still in a bit of a gray area for consumers and can be far more complicated than 1gbps. If you're willing to get your hands dirty, 10gbps is achievable. Now...

    What's the new "The human eye cannot see more than 30fps" mantra being preached today?

    I was actually there to buy a Edgerouter Pro. I guess the guy really needed to get this rant off his chest. Myself and the other customer were in the networking aisle.

    What's the new "The human eye cannot see more than 30fps" mantra being preached today?

    I had a salesman at Microcenter today try and convince me, and another nearby customer, that our eyes can't see the difference between 1080p and 4k and that any perceived difference is placebo.

    The Original Ghostbusters Cast Will Return for New Movie

    I have to agree. The reboot was hamstrung by a completely underwhelming script. My favorite moments were those with Chris Hemsworth. I'd love to see his character return in some fashion, though I doubt it will. What's likely to happen is that the 2016 film will be entirely forgotten by the...

    What fittings did you realize you needed for your setup after it was too late?

    For either soft or hard, I find a few extenders, M-M and M-F (12 to 24mm), often save my ass when the tolerances between parts is just outside of my planned spec.

    GamersNexus Reproduced Multiple Modes of Failure on NVIDIA RTX 20-Series

    I installed my waterblock on Monday and still haven't had problems, but I'm definitely nervous when I wake my computer from sleep. *sweaty fingers crossed

    Old time gaming machines, who has them and what are they?

    I have an Atari 5200 that I pull out every now and then. My Mom originally got it for Christmas from my Dad a few years before I was born. The first console I got as a child was an SNES bundled with Super Mario All Stars which I still have, and play.

    Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards are dying on a lot of users

    I've been continuing my stress-testing with continuous runs of Timespy and FFXV gaming. Temps average between 68 and 84 C. I have a +180 on the core and +650 on the memory via Precision X1. No crashes or artifacting yet. I still can't see any of the symptoms reported. Though I did note that my...

    Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards are dying on a lot of users

    I've been running fire strike and time spy for the past few days in an attempt to break my card. Also been loading up FFXV and just fighting large mob groups. So far, I haven't seen any problems, but I'll keep pushing.

    Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards are dying on a lot of users

    The waterblock probably won't be installed until the end of November. I feel like ~2 months of heavy use will expose any of these launch problems.

    Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards are dying on a lot of users

    I've got a 2080Ti FE purchased direct from Nvidia. It's got a light overclock running on it now. Just waiting for my waterblock to come in before I really dial in my settings. So far, I've had no problems (aside from the lack of RTX features, heh). Here's roughly what I've done thus far over the...

    To Water Cool or not to Water Cool

    Technically, acrylic is actually a kind of glass, but less prone to cracking and shattering than your typical glass. I don't even want to think about how difficult it would be just to bend and install glass tubing. I'm sure it's possible, but there would be essentially zero flex and your risk of...

    2080ti 2080 Ownership Club

    I found that the in-game limiter helped with framepacing issues in more complex areas. I didn't see an overall increase in my average fps. I used to notice quite a bit of stutter in Galdin Quay, but now its all but gone. I haven't tried using Rivatuner, but that may yield a similar result to...

    2080ti 2080 Ownership Club

    Just wanted to add my experience to this. I had been waiting for my 2080Ti to come in to finally start this game. (Also beat the main story at lvl 99 4 days later. Judgement-free zone pls) I'm running a 2950X (in game mode) and seemed to have a slightly better experience than you did. Not by...

    Images of the Nintendo 64 Classic May Have Leaked

    Something about the images don't quite look right. The shadows around the ports are a little too fake, and the lighting doesn't seem consistent. I don't question the actual ports though - they look consistent with the NES and SNES classic consoles. Now, these could be early mockups from within...

    2080ti Availability

    I'll probably pick up a second card, but I'm going to wait till I can just walk into Frys/MC/BB and just grab it. I don't expect that will be until at least late November/Early December.

    2080ti Availability

    Just got my shipping notification for Friday via Fed-Ex from Digital River - and my card was officially charged. I have also yet to get the actual shipping notification from Nvidia and my order still says 'processing'. If you haven't already, sign up for Fed-Ex's package manager service. They...

    From the nvidia forums via Tim@NVIDIA: "We have updated the thread. Please find the latest below. Update 10/2 Today we began shipping GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition to those who pre-ordered from NVIDIA.com and had an original ship date in September. These will all ship by October 5th...

    RPG Game Suggestion For Girlfriend

    I got my wife into gaming about a year and a half ago with the Mass Effect series. She loved the story and character drama. She checked in on Kaidan at the Citadel Hospital after every mission in ME:3. Now she plays just about anything, but prefers more story-driven games. Horizon on the PS4 is...

    2080ti Availability

    I was really hoping I'd wake up to a shipping notification now that my order (2080 Ti FE) has been 'processing' from nvidia for more than 2 days now. I also noticed that the authorization hold on my card disappeared. Here's hoping that means they are about to ship it, though my gut tells me...

    GeForce RTX 2080 Ti in NVLink: 4K 120FPS Gaming Is Now Here

    That's some very impressive scaling, but I'm going to stick to a single card to see just how well NVLink is supported by the rest of the industry.

    RTX2080 and RTX2080Ti Reviews online

    I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying that there would be a version of DLSS that would sample at 4k and then leverage this deep learning algorithm. I am holding out some hope for that iteration of DLSS, but I agree - if you are looking at DLSS to justify your 2080/TI purchase, then it's...

    Kathleen Kennedy's Lucasfilm Deal Extended for Three Years

    I actually quite enjoyed Last Jedi. Maybe my expectations for the movie were tempered after hearing all the uproar and then seeing it a month later. Though, I never really liked the Star Wars movies to begin with. I mostly tolerated them, and found aspects that I liked, but I never really...

    2080ti Availability

    NV just charged me $1,312 and updated my order status to 'Processing: Please allow 1-2 business days". I ordered late on Aug 20th and originally had an estimated delivery date of Oct 8th. I wonder if this means I will get my card before Nvidia said I would. I had resigned myself to waiting much...

    Must have type $200 range Pc gaming headset?

    +1 for this. An Antlion paired with a Sennheiser HD598 SR can be had for about ~$230. I'd vote to skip the wireless and surround features. Unless you plan to game a serious distance from your PC (like your couch) wireless just adds unnecessary cost and the maintenance of having to charge...

    Shipping Notifications

    I've heard nothing since my confirmation email on the 20th - though my original estimated ship date was October 8th. I hope that doesn't mean that I'm going to have to wait till November to get my card, assuming the 15-17 day delay is universal to all orders.

    The Nintendo 64 Classic Could Be Arriving Soon

    I wonder how/if that would work with Rare being owned by Microsoft now. I'm not saying it's impossible, but that might be a speedbump. For me the must-have games would be: - Goldeneye - Mario Kart - Ocarina of Time (Though I suspect this is coming for the switch, so might be omitted here) -...

    To Water Cool or not to Water Cool

    Like the poster above, I've only ever had one leak, and it's because I didn't fully tighten a stopper on the back of my EK res. Totally my fault and could have been easily avoided. Nothing shorted, since I was still running a 24-hour leak test with plenty of paper towel under each fitting - on...

    Videocardz: review dates for 2080 and 2080Ti

    According to my Nvidia's estimation, my card won't ship until the 20th of October, so I have plenty of time to cancel if the reviews indicate that the 2080Ti is going to fall short.

    2950X and MSI Creation - looking to use all 8 DIMMs

    So I'm in the middle of a Threadripper build right now. After convincing myself that I only wanted 32gb of memory, I went and bought this Corsair 32GB Vengeance set, which is supported by the MSI MEG Creation X399 according to their own QVL. Predictably, I now want to fill the remaining slots...

    Apple Hit with Class Action Suit over MacBook Keyboard Failures

    I've had my 2016 model since launch and, aside from a scree issue that they repaired in less than a week, I've had no problems with it. Maybe they've gotten better QA, or maybe I'm lucky. I still steer away from most of their peripherals though.

    Apple Hit with Class Action Suit over MacBook Keyboard Failures

    Yep. As soon as I read about this issue I asked my wife, who has a 2016 Macbook, and my brother, who has a 2017 Macbook, and they both reported problems with the keyboard. My wife says that her spacebar sticks pretty often as well as the 'T' key and 'U' key. My brother's keyboard is even worse...

    PS4 E3 2018 Press Conference Won’t Have New Hardware

    Seriously, though. I play a ton of games on PC but God of War is one of the best games I've ever looked at. The art direction of that game is so on-point that it should be required reading/playing for game devs in the future.

    Audio Options - Looking For Mounted/Speaker Stand Suggestions

    On the other hand, you could build your own stands. Here's my stands that I built about 6 months ago. Total cost to build both was about ~$120. Benefit here is that you can expand the design as you see fit, and they can hold just about any speaker. Each of mine weigh about 20 lbs each and there...
