If you were going to upgrade I would not bother getting a better 11th Gen CPU unless you got it for like $10. A Raptor Lake or Zen 4 mid-range CPU is 25% faster in games than your 11400F w/ 4090: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i5-13400f/18.html Even at 4K there is a major performance difference. You're better off selling or repurposing your 11th Gen CPU/Mobo and getting a new one. But, perhaps put your 4090 in your system for awhile and see if you still are itching for an upgrade.

Can't delete folders using rm
CyberneticTitan replied to MiszS's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
You have to specify a folder to remove. For example rm -rf "Flipper@connerdev" -
Looking for a low profile card for an Optiplex 3020
CyberneticTitan replied to HonkHOnkGoose246857's topic in Graphics Cards
For a plex server, the built in iGPU should be plenty even for transcoding and many retro games. Once you feel you need more power you can revisit shopping. Depending on how much you want to spend you could even try Arc A380 or a used Nvidia A2000 if you wanted to even do play some more demanding games. -
Low Power 10 Gigabit NVMe server?
CyberneticTitan replied to jt532's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
Cheapest possible solution: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005436089018.html Based on ASM1182e, does not need motherboard PCI-E bifurcation. Operates at PCI-E Gen 2 x1 and the two NVMes you add will share that bandwidth (500MB/s). Otherwise, if you are willing to find a 10G nic that fits in the x1 slot (~8Gbps max throughput), you have these options: If your motherboard supports PCI-E bifurcation on the x16 slot: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005325861527.html Otherwise a slightly more expensive option: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005838511246.html Based on ASM2812, each drive should be able to get full bandwidth on Gen 3. Alternatively give up adding more M.2 drive and add more SATA disks, or just find a new machine. -

Older CPU encode vs. NVENC video capture
CyberneticTitan replied to da na's topic in Troubleshooting
In general GPU encoding cannot compete with CPU encoding for video quality all other factors being the same as much as possible (even giving both encoders the same running time). That being said modern GPU encoders are quite good. The new Intel AV1 GPU encoders can compete with x265 slow preset in some cases for quality. But this doesn't apply to you; the M2000 is quite an old card. Outside of testing your own input footage side-by-side on CPU vs GPU tests and pixel peeping many frames, my recommendation would be to stick with CPU encoding as much as possible. -
Best GPU to pair with 13700k?
CyberneticTitan replied to extrabyte's topic in New Builds and Planning
With these 3 8-pin power connector cards you'll typically need to run two cables from your power supply to it. Does your PSU only have one such cable? -
Best GPU to pair with 13700k?
CyberneticTitan replied to extrabyte's topic in New Builds and Planning
Lurk around on https://www.reddit.com/r/bapcsalescanada/new/ You can currently get 7900 XTX for $1200 CAD: https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_558&item_id=236801 -
SURVEILLANCE HDD as NAS storage
CyberneticTitan replied to Ajinkyashewale's topic in New Builds and Planning
Yes it should be fine. Surveillance oriented drives are typically ones tuned for constant writing. As long as you check the SMART data and it gives you the OK then you're fine. -
New Sapphire RX 6800 Pulse or Used Reference Model 6800 XT
CyberneticTitan replied to JustinHunter's topic in Graphics Cards
AMD reference models have non-transferrable warranty if that is important to you. If you need to buy new, there are better options. For example $600 6800: https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_558&item_id=240676 This card was once $550 and its 6800 XT variant was also $690 at one point. I would personally go used, but perhaps with an AIB model and not reference unless you know you can rely on that person to RMA on your behalf if anything goes wrong. -
What we expected didn’t show up, we got this instead.
CyberneticTitan replied to JordB's topic in LTT Releases
Lexar was actually bought from Micron by a Chinese company called Longsys in 2017, and re-entered the DRAM market in 2020. -
Bootcamp Windows is definitely one, or any other Linux distribution. Asahi Linux is still a WIP. eGPU support is another, so if you need any sort of AMD GPU you need to stick with Intel currently. That may or may not change if Apple decides to keep AMD for their upcoming Apple silicon Mac Pro. There are some x86 apps that perform faster on native hardware than through Rosetta 2, but they shouldn't matter most of the time to you. Since you're looking at a MBA, there are some functional constraints not sticking to a MBP such as the number of external displays.

Pixel 3 XL video set to 4k but only records at 1920 x 1080
CyberneticTitan replied to Technyewb's topic in Phones and Tablets
First, check that the video that's saved on your phone is actually in 4k. I believe if you swipe up from the video it will give you the resolution value in Photos. Pixel phones used to have unlimited backup in original quality. This was discontinued in 2022, so now you only get unlimited backup in "Storage saver" quality: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791 Storage saver will downscale any videos above 1080p to 1080p. -
Life is full of surprises - AMD $5,000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade
CyberneticTitan replied to Shahrad's topic in LTT Releases
AMD reps watching this video looking for their products: -
No warranty on a 100k system sure is something. Hope they give Karl whatever documentation he needs to manage on his own or to get someone to help.
-
I'm surprised he didn't take the 100M offer, that would have been enough for a downpayment for a house in Vancouver when his oldest is 18 /s

It's not possible to "use PCI-E lanes from a different PCI-E slot". The allocation of PCI-E lanes for that particular motherboard on that second M.2 slot is either using that M.2, or disabling that lowermost PCI-E x16 slot and SATA3. So, some options to have everything is to: Move that lower GPU to the middle x16 slot and put that NVMe in the second M.2 slot. Find a PCI-E x4 to M.2 adapter such as https://www.startech.com/en-ca/hdd/pex4m2e1 and put that in the middle x16 slot Find a PCI-E x1 to M.2 adapter and use it any of the x1 slots, although you will have reduced NVMe speeds Use an external enclosure for that NVMe and plug into one of the USB 3.1 Gen2 10Gbps ports on the back. Will likely also reduce your SSD speeds.

I HATE being lied to… but I love the ROG Ally

Unrelated to the Ally but great job guys adding those visual indicators. -
PNY for sure. Save $150 and avoid the sleeve bearing fans on the Gigabyte Eagle card.

Help with converting a String to a integer. PYTHON
CyberneticTitan replied to nateplayz50's topic in Programming
The problematic line is this: age = 2023 - year and I think the error message would have given you the line number where the error occured. In this case, input() returns a string, and you are trying to subtract a string (year) from a integer literal (2023). One way to alleviate this is to cast year into an integer and then cast age into a string. age = 2023 - int(year) print("seems like It is" + name + str(age) + "BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!" ) -
Intel Rebranding "Core i" Brand to "Core Ultra"
CyberneticTitan replied to CommanderAlex's topic in Tech News
The point is to keep things fairly information dense. They've already moved their mobile naming schemes to four digits. i.e. 1260P.- 119 replies

Intel Rebranding "Core i" Brand to "Core Ultra"
CyberneticTitan replied to CommanderAlex's topic in Tech News
This has now been confirmed by an Intel director. GG. They definitely had to do something about these 5-digit part names as well so can't blame them too much. We'll soon probably have "Core {number}" vs "Ryzen {number}"- 119 replies

Why does the year matter? They included the i3 12100, and could have included the 5600G as well.
