  1. evga g2/g3 or anything higher is good, and has a really long warranty. just look for something with 10+ yr warranty because that's usually an indication of a pretty good unit
  2. seasonic fanless 600w fan can't wear out 1000iq
  3. for autocad/solidworks you will want to aim for a machine with a quadro gpu due to the double precision acceleration compared to consumer cards. it's much much better performance wise

    It's official - I'm planning out next year's up…

    @Razor Blade T480 with 8250U base model is $660 with Perks or: https://www.amazon.com.au/ASUS-VivoBook-i5-8250U-Fingerprint-F510UA-AH51/dp/B0762S8PYM
  5. x1 extreme / lenovo p1 but it might be a bit expensive in your country nvm im retarded precision 3530 / 7530

    let me get this straight you're ordering two outdated xeons in a fucking dell chassis? lmao please tell me this is a joke if you really want xeons (idk why), go for something like 2 x xeon plat 8160 es and then use supermicro boards at 3ghz turbo on most cores even one of them will absolutely destroy those old xeons and and two is definitely faster than 2990wx also first gen laptop? why lmao when the x5690 can barely compete with 8250u in $500 thin light modern machines - there is 0 point buying something that fucking old and it will take you an eternity to find the chassis - also you will never have access to cards past maxwell because they don't have newer mxm specification requirements. another question what are you using this for? like from what I've seen being in your discord you barely do any video production and even then you'd be better served by stuff with less cores (eg 8700k/9900k for premiere, 2700x for resolve). unless you're using blender or doing a hell of a lot of multitasking you don't even really need the cores tbh

    Overwatch got a new female character... I'm ready.

    Too bad it's No Nut November

    Some nighttime pics.

    @DrMacintoshFuck the P3XL's notch but there's a legit reason for Night Sight being delayed - the algo was still being improved. Compare photos from the original modded APK "pre-release" Pixel 3 camera releases to the final and there's a good bit of difference. New Pixel features are good because they flow down to all the other people who want them through modded APK releases. Devices like the Essential Phone, Mi5 and OnePlus 6 can already use Night Sight. Also, nobody needs 60fps for 4K but I don't know why it isn't enabled. The storage is DEFINITELY fast enough and the ISP can handle it, so why isn't enabled? like 17 countries at launch vs 70. just wait for them to eventually expand a bit more, but google's sales in a lot of countries suck ass (why does AU get everything BUT the fucking Pixel Slate, goddamnit)

  10. Possibly the key was an EnterpriseN or EnterpriseKN key, which only work with Enterprise N or KN ISOs. Download the VAMT 3.1 tool and verify the key.
  11. It's a good mouse, yeah. Good sensor and switches and it's a nice safe shape.
  12. Anything with the 3360 or 3366 sensor (Rival/Sensei 310 from SteelSeries, G502/GPro/G303/G403/G900 from Logi, etc) doesn't exhibit the spin-out issue. Sabre has the 3988 with the issue, R100 is based on the 3050 which exhibits the issue, and not sure what mouse the Raptor is. Hope this helped.
  13. Not always. Cards like the P4 are meant for other chassis such as blade servers and 1U servers, which aren't exactly GPU chassis.
  14. Close but no cigar. Quadros are the same core sillicon as the GTX and RTX cards that us consumers have access to, but with similar cooling (when compared to ref/founders), lower TDPs, and the most important part - professional drivers. These allow much higher performance in "double precision" operations allowing professional programs to run accurately (no errors in final product) on these GPUs. As well as a fuckton of VRAM, because everybody needs a fuckton of VRAM. Since these cards are the only thing with this performance and double-precision capability (which is available on consumer cards but runs at a MUCH slower rate), Nvidia can charge significantly higher prices for these cards when compared to their consumer counterparts. Teslas are similar - but built primarily for the datacenter (hence the lack of video outputs). These GPUs can be assigned to VMs and remotely accessed, or used as part of a render farm (or machine learning farm), which is their primary purpose. These cards have a much higher performance density when compared to their consumer and Quadro counterparts, as they are usually inside well-ventilated chassis with a large amount of airflow. Sorry about the wall of text.
  15. P600 = 1030 P620 = Lower than 1050 performance P1000 = 1050 Non-Ti P2000 = better than 1050Ti but worse than 1060 P3000 = 1060 P4000 = 1070 P5000 = 1080 P6000 = 1080Ti
  16. Manufacturers have a seperate document describing the power usage and power behaviour of the processors they are designing for.
  17. P95 stress: 105w. That's about in line with the TDP and the absolute maximum wattage the CPU will use. Also manufacturers define TDP differently. Since there's no regulatory body actually outlining a standard for CPU TDP measurements and ratings manufacturers are free to define TDP however they so choose.
  18. It's 100% just 6-core CFL with two extra cores. With Skylake > Kaby Lake > Coffee Lake they swapped the microcode ID numbers (Skylake was 506E3, Kaby ES was 506E8, Kaby Final was 906E9), with 9th gen it utilises 906EC microcode (8th gen hexa is 906EA and quad is 906EB) -- this utilises the 8th gen microcode not new microcode. Also Splave (high end OCer, partnered with AsRock) has gotten 9th gen octa working on Z170M OC Formula with short+isolate method for hexa. It's traditional ringbus with same optimisations as 8th gen.

    Too bad the Pixel Slate at the moment can’t pla…

    Not Fortnite, but it can play PUBG. They showed that off on the original Pixelbook.
  20. They won't this time. Unless the feature gets backported to the P1XL it won't be ported to other devices. I really like the new visual theme and ARCore stuff though. The Playground is pretty damn cool.
  21. So is there a visible difference between 1080p and 1440p? I haven't seen it. 1080p is the PERFECT resolution for phones. 1440p be damned, my battery life (something that benefits me on the daily as a heavy user) takes more priority over something I need to SERIOUSLY pixel (heh) peep to notice.
  22. intel stream recap:

     

    28 core unlocked xeon @ 4.3

     

    18 core lga2066 and no cum tim

    8 core consumer meme chip

  23. @AlexsoloI've all but dropped out of this community -- but I may update it. I've got time, so might as well. Not sure there's so much demand anymore.
  24. Enable integrated GPU in BIOS then boot to OS and install driver. You may have to have a display plugged into iGPU to enable it.
