So I bought this card earlier this year, and wanted to learn something about CUDA, so I wrote this software to play with the Mandelbrot Set: https://github.com/mattsaccount364/FractalShark Free/open source. You can download the exe here...

This is awesome. Have you heard any updates? Also thread necro. I was just playing through Quake II RTX.

I've actively avoided looking up this coil whine sound - I imagine if I heard it, then I'd never un-hear it, so best not to look. Like MP3 compression artifacts, video compression artifacts etc. Ignorance is bliss. As an aside, I'm happy with the Gigabyte 4090 RTX I bought thanks to this...

I've got a tracking number as well - so far so good. It'll theoretically arrive tomorrow afternoon and I'm taking the day off anyway for an unrelated reason, so will just install it. I should have everything I need then since it includes the adapter.

Good call - I just successfully placed an order on newegg. What a pain in the ass. Do these come with some shitty adapter cable that'll melt so I can plug it into my existing power supply or do I need to buy one of those too? I ordered the GIGABYTE Gaming (GIGABYTE) GeForce RTX 4090 24GB...

Thanks a lot for the tips everyone - more-or-less what I figured, but good to confirm. And I'd not seen that youtube link before, so that might be worth a go.

Availability is, let's say, not great. Suggestions on how to buy one at something close to MSRP? Do you need to sit on some discord channel or something and wait for an in-stock notification? What does it take?

Tempting to buy something else. Scraping by with the 980GTX on a 3840x1600 monitor doesn't often yield the greatest gaming experience.

I intend to buy one of the 30xx cards, and have the LG 38GL950G-B.

Yeah I know - it seems kind of silly, especially given the resolution this thing runs at. I've been waffling about upgrading for a while, but figured the 2080 was released about 1.5 years ago itself. I figure I'll just hold out until the next big iteration and upgrade then. Maybe with some...

As a random aside for anyone looking, I'm still running a 980GTX and bought this monitor. It arrived last week. I knew in advance I'd not achieve the full refresh rate this monitor is capable of until I get a newer card, at least without compromising e.g. color accuracy or resolution, but in...

My machine is still going strong, on its second motherboard. I'd purchased in early 2012 and at the time, Asus's reputation was, well, "less than stellar." Has anything improved in the last five years?

Just ordered an S8 to replace my increasingly-dated and effectively-app-free Windows Phone (Nokia 928). We'll see how it goes :)

Huh, I'm in the same boat as the OP. Just saw the reviews of the new Broadwell-E. I'm underwhelmed. I've got my 3930K @ 4.4Ghz, 32GB, and a 980GTX. Hardly seems worth the bother of upgrading. Hmm.

Identified the problem. The Internet's coaxial cable was running through a power strip that has surge protection, like the one below. www.amazon.com/APC-P11VT3-Performance-SurgeArrest-Protection/dp/B0012YLTR6 The noise introduced from the powerline network devices appears to "leak" into the...

I just wanted to add that I've confirmed these results are reproducible; that is, merely by virtue of using the powerline network on one segment between my computer and the router, it appears to be inducing packet loss between my router and the ISP. I find this result amazing - I'd not have...

This is completely excellent. Your posts convinced me I need to run this test. Ping from my computer to ISP gateway via powerline network: Ping statistics for 50.35.64.1: Packets: Sent = 1000, Received = 714, Lost = 286 (28% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum =...

Yeah, I believe it. That's an interesting hypothesis - are you speculating that by virtue of using the powerline adapters, it's causing interference between the modem and the ISP? I just looked into testing the scenario in which one computer is using the powerline adapters, and another is...

It's an experiment. I wanted to give these adapters the best possible operating circumstances. They actually provide decent local-network speed when located at the desired location (4MB/s), which is across the house, but Internet performance is shit either way, and I don't understand why.

I've got two Netgear PLP1200 ethernet-over-power devices (I know, bear with me). The setup looks like this: Configuration A: Computer (Windows 10, six cores, 32GB RAM) <-> Ethernet cable <-> PLP1200 <-> in wall power <-> PLP1200 <- Ethernet -> 30mbps internet connection. The two PLP1200s are...

I have the 3930K at 4.4ghz and have periodically looked into upgrading. My conclusion was the same: it's not worth it. I've got 32GB RAM + 980GTX and it's been fine for everything I can come up with.

I don't have an answer, but there's also the WD2000FYYZ / WD3000FYYZ and similar drives -- these are the successors to the FYYS series RE4s. If you're searching for model numbers you might give those a try. (I have one of each in my desktop - both perform great).

Hello, I've got a Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter server running in an Azure VM for experimentation/home use. I've configured it to support a VPN through RRAS. The VPN works, insofar as clients can connect and access resources on the VPN. In case it matters, the VPN uses the SSTP protocol over...

FWIW, we ended up taking the keyboard to a Microsoft store along with the invoice. Much to my amazement, they just exchanged the whole thing, no questions. At least customer service was good.

Hello everyone, The product in question: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/accessories/type-cover-2 One of the keys on our "Type Cover 2" came off. Somehow, a small piece of plastic on the back of the "v" key broke, and now I can't re-attach the key permanently. The scissor switch...

After fixing permissions on the temp folder and dealing with Acrobat, the problems all went away. I now get UAC elevation prompts for software installers just as expected.

I wanted to write back because I found permissions continued to revert themselves. I would set them, and then repeatedly, at some unclear time, they would be changed without my knowledge. At that point, I would again experience the issues originally described. Using the built-in Windows...

This is great -- I'm nearly certain the problem is now corrected. I applied the fix you suggested. Thanks a lot for your reply!

FWIW, after all this time, I've still not formatted. I do plan to upgrade to Windows 8.1 within the next six months. Since I originally posted this question, the problem has never gone away. I've just lived with it :p It's quite irritating though as vsny mentioned -- there are several...

You don't actually need "their" software, but you do need "some" software and the original ICM profile that "their" software created when you calibrated the monitor last time. If you saved the ICM profile from your original installation...

Shoot, I just screwed around for 20 minutes. I tried: - Safe mode first. It didn't occur to me that in safe mode, UAC is disabled anyway, so the Firefox installer did not prompt but continued correctly. - I then disabled all programs that start when my main account logs in and rebooted. This...

Here's another troubleshooting result: I have a backup account on this machine that's also in the administrator group -- it should be "equivalent" to my main one in terms of privileges. That account is as "clean" as possible in the sense that I almost never use it. I've kept it precisely to...

No, I've not intentionally changed anything. I've never tried disabling it on this machine. I just set UAC to the "maximum" level: It did prompt me when I attempted to make that change, so UAC certainly works in some instances. The change also "stuck" in the sense that exiting the UAC...

Thanks for all the suggestions, when I have some time I'll try them. I could also try safe mode I guess and see if that does anything. I don't think it's malware. I just ran the latest Spybot with no hits, and I've never seen any other suspicious behavior, network activity etc. It would not...

Thanks for your prompt response. Here are the settings: This all looks fine to me, unfortunately. As an experiment, I just downloaded Firefox 20 setup. When I run it normally, it extracts the files immediately without a prompt, and then exits, presumably because of an error. I have to...

Platform: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. I've observed that applications that normally would require UAC elevation don't display it. The application then fails with an error because of insufficient privilege. For example, if I download an installer, and run it on another system, Windows shows the...

Thank you for your assistance, I appreciate it. If they come up with a solution/workaround I'd be happy to try it.

I was not aware of this cleaner. It seemed promising so I uninstalled, rebooted, ran the cleaner, rebooted a second time. At that point I verified no ASUS AI-SUITE services were installed/running. The "ASUS" directory was deleted and no ASUS services were shown in the services.msc control...

Is there any news on an updated version of Sabertooth x79 Thermal Radar? Just Google "AsusFanControlService hang" or something to see lots of threads on this. The latest Thermal Radar hasn't been updated in a while (v2.0) and I've never gotten that feature to work properly because of the...

It's 3-D now. I would say that, assuming the game runs, the graphics are definitely better than those of SimCity 4. SimCity 4, in contrast, used a 2-D isometric projection.
