    nvidia specs question

    I want to replace my gtx 960 2gb, looking at an rtx 2060 or 1660 ti. MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, etc, all have 3 or more variants of each card. Besides fan configuration, the "boost clock" is their primary differentiation. Base clocks appear the same. So the differences are factory firmware...

    Nvidia Expands G-Sync Support to Approved Adaptive Sync Monitors

    I didn't mean to act like a dick, sorry about that. I meant reviews and most websites are a crap shoot, everybody loves it and some hate it, there's no real product scrutiny anymore. Everything is always great on all the sites.

    Nvidia Expands G-Sync Support to Approved Adaptive Sync Monitors

    Muddy waters, everything is always great, 50/50 at worst. Do you have a good tech site or are you really just pissing in the wind?

    Nvidia Expands G-Sync Support to Approved Adaptive Sync Monitors

    Interesting, do you think cheap consumer space is creating lesser standards, forcing nvidia to accommodate? I'm only interested in display port myself.

    Nvidia Expands G-Sync Support to Approved Adaptive Sync Monitors

    I couldn't care less who get's the "win" for accomplishing something, it appears to me gsync is the better implemented end-to-end solution. Not designed, but implemented. Strange they'd devalue their standard... guess the oems want to sell us less quality cheaper panels with their branding.

    Nvidia Expands G-Sync Support to Approved Adaptive Sync Monitors

    I thought nvidia launched the commercial movement towards "VRR" and Gsync is hardware in the monitor synchronizing with your nvidia gpu, with strict standards. Freesync is AMD's open source and uncontrolled, no standard, no qualification implementation of VRR?

    Nvidia Expands G-Sync Support to Approved Adaptive Sync Monitors

    So now there will be real "Gsync" and "Gsync compatible" (freesync)? But nvidia is actually qualifying the freesync "gsync compatible" monitors?

    Nvidia Expands G-Sync Support to Approved Adaptive Sync Monitors

    There are so many monitor brands, lines, and specs out there. Gsync seemed like a control gate for quality, in that manufacturers wouldn't put gsync on less than their best panels, and those would have higher quality control. Is this not true? Is Gsync now as untrustworthy and useless as the...

    Crucial P1 1TB, brutally slow and hot

    Like I said, it's just my experience and a data point for others to consider. It's sitting in an m2 slot with 8 fans in a full tower Lian li pc-a71f and no obstructions. If I had known it's an 80 MBps drive I wouldn't have bought it. 200 - 300 MBps minimum been would havemy guess, but it's...

    Crucial P1 1TB, brutally slow and hot

    Just my anecdotal experience, this nvme drive can't perform with moderate use. It may be throttling, seems to hit a heat envelope way too quickly. A minute or less and write speed drops from around 500 MBps then steady fluctuation between 50 - 100 MBps. hwinfo temps are 96 C max, 86 - 96 C...

    Understanding why this is happening is my goal, I've been racking my brain and the first possibility is CPU memory controller failure, but that seems crazy to me. For the record, I treat all my systems the same, assemble, test, adjust, test, retest, test, test, confirmed good. The only change...

    Been out of the game a long time, I'd appreciate input on interpreting what's happening here. Assembled new system and have been validating with my usual routine; assemble, all bios defaults, install OS/drivers, update, then stress test for a few hours for several days. If everything is ok...

    Windows 7 Support Ends in One Year

    I won't use win 10, the terms aren't agreeable for me. Next year I'll finally upgrade my aging 3770 to AMD and use Linux to VM my work apps on win7. That gets me by for several more years when I'll no longer specifically need windows.

    Proposed Data Privacy Law Could Send Company Execs to Prison for 20 Years

    You're right, all companies are billion dollar organizations that have comprehensive security controls, and only billion dollar companies have executives... A pissed off employee could never leak login info for a service account and the vpn keys of a user. The rest of your post is kinda silly...

    Proposed Data Privacy Law Could Send Company Execs to Prison for 20 Years

    First thing I thought of, is a lower level employee with an axe to grind could easily compromise/sabotage a system so the execs would be punished. So no, this sounds nice but isn't the right answer.
