  1. ---------------------------------------------- Summary VPN services are shutting down their servers in Hong Kong due to the new security law from China. Quotes My thoughts It is sad to see that even businesses are forced to cut ties with Hong Kong. I understand that PIA is a business and has to what is best for the company, but it is still sad to see that they have to remove an avenue for free speech. I wonder what other businesses will have to leave Hong Kong because of these types of laws. Lastly, I would like everyone to think of all the freedoms that we take for granted.

  2. I have an i7 6700k but I have been waiting for a good upgrade for a while now. I mostly play DCS world in VR so CPU single core performance very is important. Will I see any tangible benefit to upgrading to any of the new CPU offerings from AMD or Intel?
  3. Looks pretty solid to me, but are you going to be gaming at 1080p or 1440p? Also, I would try to get another 8gb stick because 16gbs is a great creature comfort especially when I see windows using 3 or 4gbs during idle these days.
  4. Is it a 6 pin sata slimline to a 15 pin sata slimline that is powering the bay or is it a 15 pin sata slimline coming directly from the PSU?
  5. 1) In performance monitoring, what is the difference between User defined and system data collection sets? 2) What is the difference in data that am I going to get between a user defined collection and a system collection? 3) In the case of one system having multiple users, am I only capturing data from just that user in a user defined collection versus the whole system in a system collection?
  6. Haha nice man! It's those pesky gremlins. Glad to hear it's alive again.
  7. I don't think my internet connection is a problem. I use a VR app that allows you to use your desktop while in VR. I has a feature that allows you to drag and drop vr videos into its menu and it plays them in VR for you. Even when you post a YouTube link, it downloads the video first before playing it. The problem that I am having is when I post a 4k or 8k video from YouTube I'm getting stuttering even when fully downloaded. I have a very fast NVMe drive, i7 6700k, and 1080ti. During playback, all are below 50% usage. Im starting to think its either that all the current videos are badly produced, my VR application isn't fully downloading the videos, or YouTube's Codec is giving the application problems. (My network speed is 200mbps)
  8. Try the graphics card a different PCI slot. Also, if your MB has a build in HDMI port, try seeing if it works (given that your CPU has integrated graphics).
  9. You said the video out is still working? Does it post? For the meantime, I would reseat everything (GPU, Ram, cables).
  10. I am looking for a place other than YouTube that has some 8K VR sample videos. I'm trying to figure out some studdering issues I've been having with VR videos. I want to download the whole file and have it on my SSD to eliminate as many variables as I can. I have a good CPU and a 1080ti so I don't think its a hardware issue.
  11. Try another cable or monitor if you have those on hand. If not, then go from the graphics card on up to the monitor. Reseat your graphics card in the PCI slot, check the white Dvi connection on the back of your graphics card, check the cable itself, and then check the monitor to see if it works with other devices or inputs. Its probably your best bet to get an actual cheap HDMI cable if your monitor has an HDMI port.
  12. I just got the e-mail from savemyserver. If anyone has lost that default windows server 2016 password sheet, the password is Apple123.
  13. I bought a Dell R610 from Savemyserver on eBay. It came with a paper that had the default password for logging in. I moved recently and can't find that paper. Does anyone happen to have the default passwords from them? I'm still waiting on them to get back to me but wanted to see if anyone had that info readily available.
  14. I have a Vive but i think you should wait if you can't find one used. With all this new tech hitting the market, VR is going to get some much needed upgrades like full wireless. Better to get one used or just to wait.
  15. Yep. I just cancelled my pre-order. I know not to pre-order stuff but that hype got me. It was like waking up the next morning and looking next to me in my bed and realizing what I have done.
  16. Holy crap! Thank you for showing this.
  17. I saw that performance stat. I want it so much to be in gaming performance but I'm almost certain its not. This whole "RT-OPS" and "Giga rays" gets me worried when they don't even give any relatable performance numbers. Not a single mention of FPS. I want so badly to know that the new cards are going to blow the old ones out of the water but if it was the case, then Nvidia would't have any problems saying so.
  18. What do you thing the chances are that my 1080ti will out perform the 2080 that I just pre ordered with ray tracing turned off? And yes, I am starting to have pre order remorse already.
  19. Does anyone know where I can get cheap server and network gear for a personal cisco lab? I scored a cisco catalyst 3650 yesterday but I need more. Any ideas?
  20. Riley has a few new videos! This makes me happy haha
