Summary The 17-year-old RTS Star Wars Empire at War has received a surprise update that moves the game to a 64-bit code base that is intended to increase the amount of memory available for the extensive list of total conversion mods still being produced for the game. Several unit balance updates, multiplayer stability improvements, and more mod support were also mentioned. Petroglyph started updating the game again back in 2017 by first reenabling multiplayer and adding official mods support via Steamworks, and since then has pooped out a new update every few years with various improvements requested by players and mod developers. The game still hovers around the top one hundred of most played games on Steam and has an overall community rating of 97%. Quotes My thoughts This is excellent news for people who are still playing the game, and I am looking forward to what modders do with the extra memory. I imagine it is unheard of for a game to get patched to 64-bit so long after release, and the continued support from the developer after all these years is very encouraging. Petroglyph has indicated interested as of a few years ago to make a sequel and my fingers are still crossed that something will happen there. If you haven't played the game before, I would highly recommend checking it out for yourself. Sources Patch Notes

NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 announced: Beyond denoising
shermantanker replied to DuckDodgers's topic in Tech News
At the 5:30 mark in Nvidia's video it shows a side by side between DLSS Off, 2, 3, & 3.5 in Cyberpunk. It showed a ~10% performance uplift over 3.0 in that title.- 47 replies

nvidia Rtx 4090 is a monster (Official Benchmarks)
shermantanker replied to Fasterthannothing's topic in Tech News
I would take either card, but the performance in games does seem negligible from the reviews this morning. I do like the beefy cooling solution, and it does run silent from what I am seeing. I had the Strix in my cart with Newegg, but I didn't finish the transaction fast enough and will sit and wait to see what stock looks like overall over the next few weeks. -

The performance gains across the board are insane and fingers crossed I can snag a Strix from Newegg tomorrow. -
Please keep politics to a minimum... Summary Yesterday the CA DOJ released an online tool that provided useful information on various California firearms statistics related to Carry Concealed Weapons Permits, Gun Violence Restraining Orders, Firearms Safety Certificates, and other related information that let the public sort by various data points. Now being reported on reddit gigabytes of underlying data was easily accessible in plain text for several hours. The three leaked data sets I am seeing reported are CCW holders: Full name, full address, DOB, age, race, CCW effective dates, and CCW number, and if they are a judge/LEO. FSC (required certificate to purchase firearms in CA): FSC number, driver's license, age, & issue date DROS (background check): DOB, gender, & race I do not have any technical details on what kind of database tool was used by the DOJ, but commenters who downloaded the data said it was accessible in a few clicks. This is not widely reported on non-firearms related media outlets yet and the CA DOJ has yet to publicly comment. Quotes Updated: CA DOJ Office has confirmed the leak. Statement from The California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA) My thoughts This is obviously a major security risk for Californians, especially celebrities, judges, and law enforcement, and shows how incompetent the DOJ's handling of this database was. I am eager to see what the state's response will be and if this will lead to tighter control of state firearms data due to the safety implications. Many states do not allow for digitization of certain firearms records for this very reason. The reddit source includes information to contact one of the 2A organizations that are investigating the matter for legal action.

Windows 11 - Here is everything you need to know - OUT NOW!!!
shermantanker replied to GoodBytes's topic in Tech News
I just finished my new 5900x rig last week and decided to install the release preview build and overall, I am enjoying it. I have had a few bugs with explorer and the start menu, but it hasn't been anything major and the missing features from win 10 have not been a hinderance to me. I don't do much "work" on my computer anymore, and it is mainly for gaming and the occasional side gig doing some SketchUp modeling. My workstation at the office is running 10 and I would not want to run 11 on it this early in its cycle. I am looking forward to seeing how it improves over the next 12-18 months of updates. -

Hey so I have the rest of the parts arriving Monday for a new build to house my 3080 and I wasn’t sure if I should go balanced or positive pressure with my cooling. And was looking for some suggestions. Corsair 5000D 7x Corsair LL120 RGB fans 5900x + NH-D15 Chromax.black EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming I will use the 3 front fans for intake, but I’m not sure if I should have the top three for intake or exhaust. Thanks!

Will 850w give me enough OC headroom?
shermantanker replied to shermantanker's topic in Power Supplies
Thanks! Didn’t realize Corsair sold direct and pricing is a lot better then Newegg/Amazon.
