    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    There's no way he realistically thinks he can get that much. He threw out an insanely high number so that later he can pitch $25-100 billion and make it seem like a sweet deal. Also headlines.

    Strange case of EVGA support. (By the way, is there an EVGA rep here that I can talk to?)

    I'd also recommend uninstalling other apps that modify GPU profiles (like Afterburner) while using Precision X. This sounds more like a software issue, such as Afterburner not interacting with another manufacturer's card correctly or multiple programs trying to manage the fans at the same time...

    EA Announces Mass Effect Legendary Edition

    Fix inventory management and the permanent overheat bug in ME1 and that's about all I want. Hell I can live with the overheat bug, but fix the inventory. Somehow it was designed for consoles, while still being terrible on consoles. Take the SkyUI mod and slap it on that dumpster fire.

    Portwell Builds Intel Xeon Motherboard with 20 USB Ports

    I haven't run into this issue with Win10 (never tried Win8), but while installing Win7 kb+m plugged into USB 3+ ports wouldn't work because there was no accessible USB 3.0 drivers. You could probably get around this with an unattended installer, but given I wasn't installing on more than one...

    PCIE 4 vs PCIE3Gen4?

    From my understanding DirectStorage reduces the bandwidth needs. Without DirectStorage PCI-E is hit twice (plus a couple times between CPU and RAM for compressed data). If the data is compressed, it has to traverse the PCI-E bus decompressed from RAM to GPU. SSD -- Compressed Data (via PCI-E)...

    Rare ATI HD3870x2 ES 1G DDR3 WORKING!!!

    Since it's an engineering sample I would guess the white port is meant for a diagnostics tool.

    Optane cache memory - worth it or not?

    I used a 32 GB Optane drive for my Plex box. Pointed the transcode folder to the drive and it hums along nicely. Has no problem doing 5 transcoded 1080p stream simultaneously. Anymore than that and I start to get buffering once in a while, but that's on the 8700k, not the drive. Works great...

    Keep OC or wait for delid?

    That's what my temps were running Prime95 small FFT with AVX on my 8700k at 4.7 ghz using a Fractal Design Celsius S24. Delidding gave about a 12c drop using Conductonaut. Was it worth the risk when I could've dropped the frequency to 4.4 ghz? No, but I wanted to do it for the experience.
