    Every GPU I owned since 2007 (Fun Topic)

    Mostly, sort-of, ordered list of desktop GPUs over the years with the ones that were used most highlighted. Assorted generic cards on 486 ATI Rage (1) Voodoo2 Voodoo2 SLI Radeon 7200 All-in-wonder Radeon 9700 Pro All-in-wonder Radeon X800 All-in-wonder Radeon 3870 Radeon 4870 Geforce 295 Radeon...

    3.2TB SSD for $240

    Should work on 2022 (worked on server 2019 at least). Proxmox you can do, but you’ll have to compile drivers yourself (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/configuring-fusion-io-sandisk-iodrive-iodrive2-ioscale-and-ioscale2-cards-with-proxmox.54832/). Supposedly works on TrueNAS as well (haven’t...

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    Wouldn’t surprise me if it still installed and then failed to boot. I encountered that a few years ago when Windows 7 updates started enforcing SSE2 (?) despite allowing processors without it prior to that.

    Vizio settles for $3M after saying 60 Hz TVs had 120 Hz “effective refresh rate” , get your $17!

    Class-action suits are always such bullshit. Offenders get a slap on the wrist, consumers get nothing meaningful (if anything at all). Lawyers make bank at everyone else’s expense.

    Comcast breached

    I hate this company so much. Comcast is the only provider of internet here with speeds over 200mbps, so they are the only option. ...These hackers may have my real last 4 and phone number, but they don't have my real name. Comcast sucks so hard that they entered my name incorrectly when I...

    Pentium 4 2.0ghz Socket 423 SL5SZ

    I genuinely forgot this socket existed, these have to be obscure now. 423 was around for what, a few months, a year maybe?

    Intel "Core Truths" calls out AMD rebranding of old CPU architectures

    This is an "own goal" on Intel's part. Their problem is audience. The people likely to see this ad and actually read/care/comprehend it are also the people savvy enough to be aware intel championed the tick, tick, tick, tick... eventual tock -architecture approach.

    It's going to depend on the video(s) in question, I'd guess 10-15 transcodes? It would be a beast for that task. Also you can run just about any two supported Nvidia GPUs together for some ML tasks - but a headache when/if different libraries needed for different architectures. Since A4000 and...

    Looking for a Socket-462 (Socket-A) Heatsink

    This is the one you want: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325853253584 (not mine) Thermaltake Big Typhoon Basically a 775 cooler that fits older AMD, I think it was one of the last (good) coolers that had mounting kit for K7/462 included. Absolutely overkill (awesome) for socket A. Here's the...

    Intel Core i9-14900K Review - Reaching for the Performance Crown

    I'm not always a fan of GN, but I had a genuine laugh at that intro.

    Intel Core i9-14900K Review - Reaching for the Performance Crown

    It looks like the 14900k can draw 400w+ flat out and OC'd. That's bonkers. My old 2950X pulls almost 100w less than that and I affectionately refer to it as "the space heater".

    WTB: Theranos Edison

    It would be fun to tinker with one of these for kicks - if they were dirt cheap. Expectations should be set to zero though. It's a novelty item or a museum piece (if we're being really charitable). I watched a few videos on these back when Theranos first imploded, the Edison couldn't match any...

    WTB: Nvidia Card for ML

    Going rate on those (eBay) is closer to $500. That said, if you could find one around $250 it would be a good deal. At $500 you’re better off with newer cards unless you absolutely need 24gb and can’t scrounge another $100 for a well-worn 3090.

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy threatens employees to return to office or "things are probably not going to work out for you"

    “The grass is always greener “ and all that stuff… I’m a WFH IT guy but, for what it’s worth, the most fulfilling jobs I’ve had were probably either farmhand or when I was an underling at an ad agency (both for laughably bad pay too) *shrug*

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy threatens employees to return to office or "things are probably not going to work out for you"

    I’ve been fully WFH since before the pandemic. Office work makes sense - maybe even essential - for creative and problem solving tasks/roles that require a group to collaborate. Everything else is a pointless waste of of time spent commuting though. Exceptions should be poor performing...

    How many 4080/4090 owners plan to upgrade to a respective 50 series when available?

    I just bought a 4090 and I'm really happy with the performance (and VRAM) bump coming from a 2080ti and RTX5000 (2080) in my daily driver systems. That's even with me being fully aware that my platform is hobbling the card for gaming (this the last big upgrade for my X399 workstation). That...

    WTB: nVIDIA GeForce 3/3 Ti 200/500 64MB AGP 4x (reference?)

    Searched the “old GPU box”… The good news, I found a GeForce3. The bad news, I now remember why I squirreled this away in the mid-2000s: it didn’t play nice with the PCs I tested on. This was a Mac upgrade card (see the weird power connector past the AGP port) and also has Apple’s funky...

    Time to buy a 4090 PC - FINAL BUILD!!!

    If you don't want to build it DIY then I think this build looks good and not outrageous for the money. I'd vote for going AMD right now as well - if only because it leaves the door open to upgrade to potentially much better CPU down the road with AM5. 13900k is a monster but there's nowhere to...

    This is the first time in almost two decades I have no plans of upgrading my GPU

    I'd love to jump up to a 3090 (Ti) from my 2080ti, but $700+ is a lot of money for a used card and only so I can more easily play with local ML models. For gaming, the 2080ti is still completely fine at this point. I've played a number of new AAA games over the past year and it hasn't struggled...

    Apple Announces Apple Vision Pro AR Spatial Super Computer

    I've read a lot of coverage at this point and there are all these extreme viewpoints ranging from "AR/VR is dead and this product is terrible" to (rich Apple fanboys), "It's revolutionary! $3500 isn't that much in 2023 and this is just like when the iPhone was announced". I strongly disagree...

    Sold Todays Sale :> Xeon 20 core \ 40 thread, 128gb, Supermicro combo

    Do know what board size spec this is considered to be? EATX, HPTX, something else? I'm interested assuming I can make this thing fit in a case I already own.

    Nvidia shares soar nearly 30% as sales forecast jumps on 4060 Ti beat

    What gets me is the market pricing in all this hype while Nvidia soldiers on with terrible pricing across the board. AMD/Intel won't sit idle and I guarantee they have doubled down internally on efforts to produce better competition for datacenter GPUs / ML drivers (at least since it became...

    Fans Freak Out As Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Leaks Two Weeks Early

    Part of me feels like this is Nintendo's fault for lazy design and distribution, plus relying on cartridges. The other part of me is pissed at the pirates circulating a major title before release as this is the sort of thing that will lead Nintendo drop the cartridge format and make resales...

    Der8auer Reveals New Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Water Block

    I wonder how bad the IHS removal is for the 7000 series? I'd like to move to AM5 this year and this looks great so long as it isn't high-risk to the CPU.

    Nvidia Quadro GP100 [Rare Engineering Sample] [Fully Working]

    Probably, in a sense, but I'm sure Nvidia could care less about years-old parts that are out of production. I'm no expert on this, but I remember reading somewhere that all ES parts are technically "stolen" - I don't know to what extent that's true or not though.

    Nvidia Quadro GP100 [Rare Engineering Sample] [Fully Working]

    Very odd that such a card (maybe even a bit suspect...) would have an engineering BIOS dated from late 2017 when the card was released a year before. I would think any BIOS on an engineering sample would date from early-mid 2016. My favorite part is: "All said and done, this is a...

    Maximum PC ends print publication

    Maybe I'll give Wired another shot, I haven't subscribed in a couple years but I always did like the editorials and reporting - the story from a decade ago about John McAfee in Belize (when he was at peak crazy) was probably my all-time favorite article in a magazine. Definitely not the same...

    Maximum PC ends print publication

    I'd been a subscriber to Maximum PC since the beginning, I just saw an email come through announcing that the print edition would be ending (or already did?) with the April issue. I knew the day was coming, but it's still a bummer :(. The email explains that the magazine will continue as a...

    AMD Genoa EPYC 100-000000897-03 3.61GHz 64cores Engineering Sample CPU processor

    Nice, I haven't seen these in the wild yet. Should be roughly an Epyc 9554. Pricing is a bit optimistic though... $5K for this ES, but I know the "real" 9554 can be found around $7K and it will be guaranteed to work :p

    Will a 5800X bottleneck a 4070Ti? Can't find solid answers anywhere.

    Youtubers, reddit hive-mind, and the younger crowd of gamers like to think in terms of such absolutes - "only X CPU should be paired with Y GPU, because reasons". Do not buy into their nonsense - even a 4090 and 7950X3D / 13900K will have a (hardware) performance bottleneck somewhere for any...

    Who else is waiting on Zen 4 x3D before upgrading?

    I've been waiting, my desktop rig is 2950x and I'm thinking its nearly time for a replacement. Really, really wish Intel's consumer sockets/mobos didn't refresh so frequently, I wouldn't mind going back to team blue for a build but I just can't stomach buying into a socket that is already done...

    What happened to Graphics Card box art babes?

    I think it’s mostly due to prices increasing and the target market being older. Also the fact that “mainstream” GPUs are much more general purpose now. Companies that had workstations with quadro or FirePros are now just as likely to have a reference model instead. Needless to say, the...

    WTB: Nintendo DS and ("new") 3DS/XL

    It varies a lot by condition, there are busted up ones and Japanese imports models available for $100-130 but I'm only interested in ones that are in decent shape. I'd be willing to pay $150-180 shipped for one in good condition with everything working. The low end being scratched up exterior...
