I had the first-gen SB Live! and I played extensively with their software suite, I know what you are talking about, to my ears it always sounded a bit metallic.@TrailRunner
These days you can download the Win10 iso with no issues, they even have that media creation toolkit. I want a win7 key in order to install windows 10, that's all.
It was AWESOME : people were saying there was a real difference when playing the first Unreal with Aureal in the PC compared to Creative's EAX. EAX was just a set of filters applied to sound while Aureal was able to calculate and replay the sound with all the echoes and whatnot.
Sound processing in hardware with a DSP, was really calculating the sound refractions and echoes. And I think it also had an onboard amplifier. Question: what happens if you install it in a system with Windows 10? Are there at least some basic drivers to make it work? I see some Aureal 1 boards...
Bah, for 6.5% Nvidia won't give a flying f**k, they enjoyed far fatter revenues last year. Bloomberg said 15 billion USD was pumped in the GPU market the previous year. In the end, the only winners of the mining craze were the credit card companies considering how many sealed 3090s I have seen...
2600k is a lost battle today. I run a 2600 non-k, on a z77 M5F and the only reason I got it, is that it has updated bios available to boot from nvme. Since then I moved to x99 and will gift that z77 to my GF which runs a C2D.
Yes, a price drop is inevitable to clear the existing stock. Personally I would be looking for something with the GP100 chip, like the Titan Xp, mostly for folding duty. Failing that, a 2080S would be an option as well.
I am pretty sure the latest drivers no longer carry optimization for Vega 64, AMD has this bad habit of neglecting older gpus in newer drivers , unless the release notes specifically mention it. I would try a driver just before the release of Radeon VII.
That is because of the XBOX conflict : Nvidia was hired by Microsoft to design the first xbox. And nVidia used the platform to launch their line of nForce motherboards without paying any royalty to Microsoft. In revenge, MS withhold the DX9 specs from nVidia but disclosed them to ATI inflicting...
Is it true that 9th gen cpus can allocate the whole L3 cache to a single core task? Also, didn't this site have a review of a retail 9600k? I don't seem to find it anymore, was it retired?
Get a X5675 and overclock by increasing the fsb. It is a bargain on ebay. It has 95w tdp so a good ovc candidate, 4.0 ghz easily doable. Your 970 has 130w tdp. Applying the latest bios prior to update is a must.
I have a 950pro 256GB and i use it as a download drive, my boot drive is a Toshiba xg5. If you don't plan to boot from the drive you can get a nvme drive onto an adapter and it will work just fine as any other drive. I would't do a raid 0 for a drive where i would install my games. ICH10R on X58...
I am building a new system and want an Intel cpu with a little more GPU horsepower, as in Pentium G4500, 4600/4620 or Core i3 Skylake, or Kaby Lake. Pls pm me with shipping to Montreal H3T 1E3.
These days you can get an already cut Xeon from China, and already modded, no need to stick the adapter. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Intel-Xeon-X5460-Quad-Core-3-16GHz-12M-1333MHz-LGA775-no-need-adapter/263310975758?hash=item3d4e8ea30e:g:sM4AAOSwIJlaBIsa
