    CyberneticTitan got a reaction from MentosGoblin in Which card is the better deal?   
    You can buy 4070 brand new for $700 CAD + tax (see bestbuy), so buying used for $700 is not really a good idea.
     
    However if you must pick between these, the 3080 Ti is approx 4070 Super, so for $50 more it's worth the performance bump.
     
    I would see if you can find a used 3080 for $600 or less.

    CyberneticTitan got a reaction from GuiltySpark_ in is fast.com speed fake   
    Not all speedtests are implemented the same way and how they are reported can vary between them as well.
     
    Fast.com is run on Netflix backbone so your ISP may just have good peering with them.
     
    If you want to read more how that figure is reported: https://ripe74.ripe.net/presentations/105-Ripe74-Fast.com-1.pdf

    CyberneticTitan got a reaction from goatedpenguin in Server OS suggestions   
    Really depends on what kind of disks you have, attitudes towards uptime, performance demands, and flexibility.
     
    Anything ZFS go TrueNAS, but all your disks need to be the same size. This will likely be the most performant setup.
     
    If you want to mix and match disks, you can use Unraid or OpenMediaVault mergerfs + SnapRAID. Note they are not equivalent, and there are performance implications.
     
    Or classic Linux install with standard CLI tools for creating an array, setting up VMs, etc.
     
    I would spend some time with each of the above three popular NAS OS, especially if you are going to be the one managing it.

    CyberneticTitan got a reaction from rheyL in 2.4GHz Wifi speed question?   
    AX is backward compatible with N (and operates on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz), so I wouldn't go out and buy a new N router.
     
    2.4GHz is likely very congested and outside of perhaps setting the center channel to a less congested band, there is not much else you can do. Consider buying a used AC/AX USB WiFi adapter for <$10.

    For the record it is absolutely possible from a LMG/developer side to disable these PWA popups.

    There used to be a hobbyist/EE making one but the site has since gone down. I'm not aware if this was actually real or vaporware: https://web.archive.org/web/20230519224208/https://ddramdisk.store/
     
    The best affordable alternatives right now are Intel Optane or used enterprise SSDs for the endurance and speed.

    Doesn't the page say:
     
     
    They're just giving you the bare minimum, which is better than nothing, but it is certainly not "official support" like what one might call Asus "officially supporting" Windows on the ROG Ally. The APU drivers are 8 months old too.
     
    To the OP I think you're better off buying or building your own gaming PC using second hand parts.

    CyberneticTitan got a reaction from Eigenvektor in Plan on building a new PC. Have a question regarding M.2   
    Regarding the Gen 5 NVMe I'd say pass it. People can barely tell between Gen 3 and Gen 4 NVMes and this will be more the case with Gen 5 NVMe. Further there is a pretty big difference between current top-of-the-line Gen 4 drives and the first wave. Unless money is no issue you will feel pretty stupid spending $160 USD on a Gen 5 NVMe that doesn't even hit the bus limit (T700 can only get around 12GB/s seq when bus limit is around 14-15).

    CyberneticTitan got a reaction from LAwLz in Trying to decide between Intel and AMD CPUs, and need motherboard suggestions to match.   
    7800X3D offers >100% the gaming performance of the 14900K at ~66% of the price and 34% of the power, on average. So a gaming focused system definitely AMD, unless you have specific needs for multithreaded workloads and spend a lot of time playing games that don't benefit from the additional cache.
     
    That being said at those resolutions it won't make too much of a difference and you could probably get by with a 7600/13600k and spending the money on a 4090/7900 XTX.

    "AI" features gatekept to the Tensor G3 yeah sure Google the G2 was so garbage it couldn't do any of those tasks.
     
    Adds temperature sensor but still doesn't have space for headphone jack or anything else far more useful.
     
    7 years of updates is a big win, all we can do is hope others follow the same suit.

    CyberneticTitan got a reaction from da na in Older CPU encode vs. NVENC video capture   
    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.
