    aSPIRIn4 reacted to Needfuldoer in Frustrations with the marketing of LTT merchandise   
    They turned the product plugs into a running gag. That really doesn't bother me; they're a lot quicker than other baked-in ads. (Three-minute baked-in ads for subscription meal kit services, anyone?)
     
    And to be fair, their stuff is pretty nice.

    aSPIRIn4 reacted to SpookyCitrus in Frustrations with the marketing of LTT merchandise   
    I've never had a problem with them taking 4 seconds to plug an LTT store product, and sometimes it's genuinely funny. I wonder how you are/were with commercials on TV, can't imagine your distaste for a full 2 to 3 minutes of ads when you can't even handle a single sentence that's less than 5 seconds with a picture of product in the corner of the video. 
     
    It's a lot better than some other channels ads and merch plugs.

    Data issues aside; @LinusTech Regarding the Billet Labs situation, could you please publicly state and justify the monetary compensation paid out to Billet Labs for the “loss” of their prototype? What steps are you taking to prevent such issues in the future?

    If legitimate criticism of how a company's testing methodology resulting in errors is considered an attack, then I'm not sure what else to say besides it not being one.
     
    Here's the thing, if you want to be a lab, and you want to be held to lab standards, then you open your methods and data to scrutiny, which is what GN is doing here. LMG has the ability, and the right to respond to these allegations by re-running the tests to reproduce the data if they want to stand by it, but they aren't. GN's video isn't an attack, it's a flashlight on some of LMG's recent practices that have dubious ethical standings that need to be addressed.

    First of all, the whole Billet Labs stuff is completely absurd if true. I don't think they would intentionally sell something they couldn't, probably some massive fuck up in communications happened between the team responsible for sending it back and the people choosing the items to be auctioned, but it's still a huge issue and 100% LTT's responsibility to fix it and make sure something like this never ever happens again. 
     
    About the rushed content, it's something that a lot of times crosses the border of "fun jank" to being just frustrating. Every single project they do seems to be rushed, unfinished, untested and plagued with issues and oversights. And that could be their content "brand", seems like many people enjoy the jank. But if they now want to present themselves as serious testers, someone the community can look up for reliable data with Labs, that mindset needs to change, FAST. How the hell can I trust someone who has to correct themselves almost every video? And makes errors that a basic review of the content could catch? 
     
    You need to pump out 7 videos a week? Sure buddy, but maybe allow more time sensitive projects to be properly planned, executed and reviewed and throw some "here's 10 fun crap we found on aliexpress" videos to make up for it.

    You should use a DVI to DVI cable. A standard Dual-Link DVI-D cable will work fine.
     
    Normal DVI ports (DVI-D) do not support adapters to or from VGA. Only special DVI+VGA combo ports called DVI-I can support these adapters. The GTX 1060 does not have this, so those will not work.
  17. Agree
    aSPIRIn4 reacted to faziten in Gpu - Connectors - Monitor   
    You are mixing things up... let me clarify:
     

     
    VGA is an analog signal.
    DVI can carry both Digital and Analog 
     
    DVI-D single link and dual link CANT be converted to VGA with an adapter (they lack the "analog part" in the pinout which is mostly the thing that looks like this :|: but horizontal in the left.
    DVI-I single and dual link CAN be converted with an adapter.
    DVI-A is already analog, fairly uncommon to find, so don't waste time with this.
     
    In the chart you have bandwidth and resolution information. Don't mess them up or you wont get your desired result. 
     
    For future references:
    A digital signal 1080p @ 144Hz is about 9Gbps bandwidth you CANT convert this to VGA. Deal with it. 
    A digital signal 1080p @ 60Hz is about 4.5Gbps you CAN convert this to VGA.
     
    Cheers!

    Yes, it will work, that is because the ram can downclock if it needs to match the motherboard ram speed maximum.

    I mainly buy my tech things at Proshop and they always lower their prices, when a new model is out. It is mainly to get rid of the old model, because most people only want to get the new model, because new is always better in their minds. I should maybe also be a bit more clear here, when I said go down in price I meant come on sale
