You do pretty quickly get used to it in the center, too. FWIW, I'm ultimately finding it more useful (once I got used to it) - after all, when you decide you need to hit an app or open the taskbar, you never really know where your mouse is on the screen. If you were doing something on the...

Well, FWIW, looks like there IS a PC game for Dune coming up...

"Enabling triple buffering" makes it about input lag. Sure, enabling v-sync broadly creates input lag. Enabling triple buffering will make the input lag worse, though. Sort of. Well...it does, just the question is whether that cure is worse than the disease of input lag (it usually is - IE...

Well, triple buffering is an OpenGL-only setting, so...anything that uses DirectX, Vulkan, etc won't see any impact. Of course, that also means you are effectively forcing the card to render 3 frames out, so... ...not great if you are shooting for lowest-latency responsiveness to user inputs...

Yeah, these damn kids these days with their smartphones. Why, not like the good ol' days, back when people would socialize with each other, instead of burying their head in endless streams of ad-supported content...

Eh, it's more how nVidia or AMD *report* their usage to Windows. You can get the true AMD numbers in Windows Task Manager easily enough - on the 'Performance' tab, choose your GPU section. You'll get four graph windows - pick one of them and click the drop-down to choose what it is displaying...

*shrugs* TBH, I don't really see the point of digital board games being AS popular as they are, beyond making it a ton easier to learn the rules for some of the more complex physical versions. Not sure I'd have ever gotten into Scythe if not for the (rather excellent) digital adaptation, for...

Well....?there are some hella amazing boardgames for it? The original Avalon Hill 'Dune' from the 80s was reprinted recently-ish by Gale Force 9, who are doing a 'lite' version ?next year? specifically streamlining rules and using art/etc from the Villeneuve movie. I wouldn't be especially...

On a hunch - wondered if just the OpenCL components of the older driver might be the issue, so copied the 5 OpenCL files from the 21.3.2 driver into the newer driver folder. Felt like a long shot - installs fine, but F @ H is all: *********************** Log Started 2021-10-18T19:41:08Z...

So as an update...the special boot option 'Disable driver signing enforcement' did the trick, and allowed me to install the modified drivers. Unfortunately...they do not work. Windows seems to think they are okay, no errors reported, just...no desktop, the display keeps switching on and off...

Hmmm - promising start, as I was able to find much of that and work with it. Having the card in the newer drivers works a treat in giving me sections to verify after copy over. Obviously have to bypass the non-WHQL message, but still - an error I haven't seen before. "The hash for the file is...

As an update: that Kingston tip did the trick. Ultimately went with a slight variant kit, owing to finding it for hella cheap on eBay, with: https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX426C16FB3K4_64.pdf Works great! Had to clear CMOS to get it to boot, which felt a bit unusual, but that done...

I recall back in the day modifying a driver or two, to add lines to its .inf allowing support of a video card that was released after the driver was. Either my memory is getting worse, or the 'how' of this has changed a lot, as I'm drawing a blank on trying that, now. Specifically, I'm running...

I did check with Shuttle's website, but their compatibility list is...dated, to say the least. It has no 64gb kits listed, at all, despite the fact the motherboard/chipset has no problem supporting 64gb. I'll take a look at that recommendation, thanks!

Feels like it's been a day since I've posted here, but looking for some advice! Per the subject - I'm trying to find some ram for my system. SEEMS like a simple question, although here is the catch - I'm running a Shuttle XPC, with an H-series Intel chipset, so I cannot use XMP profiles. The...

Interestingly, that's actually the exact opposite of reality. What rights do you think you have vs a lion? Vs a gang out in the plains? Vs even just one other person who happens to be between you and your gun, pointing one at you? There are absolutely no "inherent rights" that you get by...

Well...the whole 'getting a Steam key with the game' thing is something, but...WTF, nVidia? Who got high enough to decide that ANY level of competition with Steam is going to go in your favor?? At this point, if you really want to be relevant in some other channel than 'pretty badass...

Merely old enough to be grumpy at the constant 'dumbing down of things' to appeal to the widest audience. TOS Trek had something unique and different, but rather than build on it, they threw it out to spiffy up the special effects. (And FWIW, I actually do like Star Wars more than Star...

Well, the REAL question is whether you want to go with 'Star Trek' or 'Star Trek As Influence By Star Wars' when fighting Star Wars. You'll recall that Original Series Trek make it *very* clear (VERY CLEAR) that nearly all combat happened at warp speeds. Having to fight at sublight was a...

Something in the conversation you posted brought to mind another finding I'd seen regarding the Samsung TV configs. Apparently, when you "rename" the HDMI post, it actually reconfigures it pretty sweepingly. Perhaps the issue is just the "PC" HDMI configuration? I've certainly noticed that...

I don't see the issue. Name of the series, after all, is 'Firefly'...the class of ship they were flying. So tell the story of the crew of another Firefly-class ship in a new season, instead of the Serenity's crew. It'd be an interesting way to mix things up, keep the story new.

Wonder if they'd ever think of taking on the budget for remastering new shows? Netflix broadcasts pretty much everything in HD, yet have a lot of content in SD, still, as it simply never got released in HD. Closest analogy would be to their season 6 of the Clone Wars, where Netflix isn't...

The point of the laser defense is to cook off the one-off missiles heading your way without needing to burn a half-million-dollar SM-2 each. Obviously, if facing an enemy that can lob 300 missiles at you (so: China, Russia, that's it), you are using your SM-2s, because you are fighting World...

Not quite - the article notes the 2.0 version of it appeared "in 2013", and by December of 2013 Symantec had detected and was providing protection against the 'backdoor component' of it used to deliver the payload. They just didn't know until recently what exactly it was that they had...

They skipped '9' because a lot of software/scripts/sites/etc out there check for Windows versions, and look for all the Windows 95/98/98SE releases as 'Windows 9[something]'. Basically, they skipped 'Windows 9' to avoid compatibility problems resulting from all the sloppy version checking out...

It's free for US, $0.99 for international.

I think you are missing the distinction between 'having a very successful business and being reasonably successful and wealthy' and 'being one of the richest billionaires in the country'. The latter group just blows money on any wild and crazy idea as it comes up, as a total loss on the...

Composer is Jeremy Soule, who also did the Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) soundtracks, as well as a handful of others (the excellent 'IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey' music, for example)

No kidding - I actually AM really solid with PCs, and dual-booted Linux and Windows for a while, but never really got into gaming on Linux as it was DOS 6.x flashback-time trying to get anything to work. Steam's Linux port has improved things tremendously, but even then - was jumping through...

Eh...so far, "Forward Unto Dawn" looks better...

And I shamelessly poached it from this VERY interesting video on the topic...

So are you volunteering to run your business at a loss, so your employees can keep shopping at both our stores? Because I'm going to cut my costs in half by firing all my humans and replacing them with machines, then reducing the price on MY stock (currently very closely priced to yours as we...

That's really not true if you think about it - when automobiles came along, did it "free up horses to do more interesting labor"? Kinda, sure - now horses just do show work, have rides for entertainment, etc. Oh, there's also only about 20-30% the number of living horses at the moment vs...

Indeed - the problem is not that we are heading to record numbers of unemployed citizens, but record numbers of unemployable citizens. People who simply have no possible work they can do that will provide enough difference in value vs a machine for them to sustain their own life. The very...

Double-check that it's failed outside of Folding - Stanford made more changes to their assignment servers, and they've been doling out BOATLOADS of bad work units this weekend.

It's something many people don't realize, actually - of the major first-world countries, pretty much ONLY the UK has worse inter-generational mobility than the US. In the US, the class you are born into is about 47% determinate of the class you will possibly end up in. The UK is 50%...

I'm pretty happy with just DSR, actually, and if that is coming to Kepler, it would seem pretty obvious that even Maxwell 1 could get it. But it's a good question RE: MFAA on Maxwell 1, anyway, if THAT can't come to Kepler.

Looks like that at the moment, yeah - I guess the question is more whether this is a hardware thing, or just a driver thing (IE., nVidia has only exposed the capability in drivers for Maxwell 2, but it could be made to work on Maxwell 1, too).

As above. While I know the conventional answer is that the 750 Ti doesn't have the horsepower to do it, that really only applies to modern games. I play some relatively ancient games, that would have no issue with quadrupling (or more) their resolution and result in no performance difference...

2600k @ ...stock On the other hand, my other components are kinda out there. 32gb of DDR3 @2133. And something like 3x SSDs? OS and swapfile on different SSDs, and Photoshop/app (for those apps that let you configure them) cache files on a third SSD. About the only thing really having...
