    Assassin reacted to kaylexmorgana in Asus motherboard problem.....again?   
    I'm having the SAME problem I had on my other motherboard I just returned.
    It cannot be a coincidence can it?
    http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/300889-new-computer-help/#entry4088297My old thread
    Basically it detects my drives when it feels like it and my hdd doesn't get detected at all. And my main ssd didn't show up in the boot options now. I have to manually select it in the bios to boot. Everything is new. No used
    My old board was a x99a and I have a rampage extreme v. Same exact problem

    Hey guys. So I get kinda tired of wearing a headset for gaming sessions, especially when they don't even require the mic. I'm looking for a set of computer speakers. I'm willing to spend a good amount for them, but not really looking for spend $400 bucks on some deluxe Bose speakers, but want them to be nice. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Assassin reacted to Sauron in UI/rendering with python? What is python actually good for?   
    Well, it all depends on what kind of game you want to develop. Space invaders can be done just fine, and with a lot less hassles, using python with pygame. Battlefield 4 won't happen on python though. I still recommend learning python first, it's an easy language and with it you can learn the base concepts of programming that apply to EVERY programming language.

    Python is mainly used as a scripting language. It is extensively used in building web frameworks. For example reddit uses Python. Also the support for lots of libraries it makes it an attractive choice for use. Lets say you want to make a RSS reader. You can use Python to parse RSS feeds and display the news headlines. 
    Idle does have a GUI library called Tkinter that you can use to make GUI based programs.

    Non-mirrored VRAM isn't the only cool thing you can do with mGPU in Mantle. You can also create an asymmetric CrossFire configuration between GPUs of substantially different performance envelopes, then load-balance the workloads between them so each card runs at peak performance. For example, you could have the dGPU do geometry and lighting, where an APU can do physics and AI work.
     
    You can also asynchronously schedule compute and graphics workloads at very fine granularity, which is tremendously helpful to the latency of a VR solution. 
     
    You could do split-frame rendering, which treats mGPU as a single faster GPU. No AFR latency penalty, no queue depth. In every way it will behave like one GPU with the resources of two.
     
    Mantle can do its own command buffer prediction, where the command buffer is the stream of work sent to the CPU by the game, which the CPU reorders for the GPU. Typically the CPU would have to calculate scenarios for the command buffer, working ahead of the game to predict what will happen for peak performance. All of this ahead-of-time calculation has to be shared with the GPU, with the GPU replying back with what it's currently doing. You can eliminate all of that round trip performance junk if the GPU is able to make its own estimations based on the knowledge is has of its current rendering state. This applies to any sort of graphics config if the developer chooses to use it.
     
    You can do per-eye rendering with mGPU, with each GPU giving full performance of a GPU to one eye in a VR or stereo3D configuration.
     
    There's so much more lurking in that API that is so far beyond what we think of as "rules" in the PC industry about how CPUs and GPUs should work together, or MGPU must be done.
     
    I'm pleased to see people are interested in this kind of stuff in Mantle.

    It is very important to note that Mantle is like any other API, though, and a developer has to choose to support the feature. Here and now, developers are much more interested in simply learning the API and cutting down software overhead. Getting better multi-threading, reducing overhead and having an API that can fully saturate the GPU resources are mission critical for the next 10 years in gaming. Collectively, the development community just started on that with Mantle, so it will take time to explore the more exotic features.
     
    //EDIT: I'm reminded that the initial applications with any API are relatively rudimentary. Things like contact-hardening shadows, global illumination, compute depth of field were unthinkable in the earliest DX11 titles. But here we are, global illumination can be done with DX11 now, and was shipped in a real game in 2012(ish). So, yeah, this is normal for the industry.
