  1. I ditched the VM setup at the weekend. I just started the game and has insane tearing up the screen. Dropped settings to lowest and resolution to 900p. Now running a smooth 120FPS. at 10% util. v-sync enabled caps at 60 and about 40% GPU usage. CPU usage still good. Just reinstalled OBS and going to see how it goes now I've more than halved the GPU utilisation.
  2. 650 does support NVENC according to nVidia. I get the same result using CPU too. What didn't give me trouble was gaming inside a VM, and using NDI to stream to a second VM that then did the encoding using the CPU.
  3. It's pegged, I have a GTX650 as a second GPU in an attempt to sort out the issue. No change, I get a wierd alternating black/white chequered pattern across chunks of the image. It's bad in Sea of Thieves main build, not as bad in an insiders edition (not recording, just previewing). When I do record it's really jittery, no dropped frames just really laggy. CPU usage is 25-35%, dual Xeon
  4. I'm having nothing but trouble with OBS too, same GPU. Even the preview is shockingly bad.
  5. What's that I hear? 0-day jailbreaking and vulnerabilities in the only browser engine that Apple allow on their precious platform? At least I need to actively download, install and give permissions to an application before I have issues
  6. Memory errors can be quite common, and not much of an issue when gaming. Error correction slows down memory access so maybe it's disabled by default, but FaH enables it due to the nature of the work?
  7. In that case it should have been: MacOS...Windows...Linux
  8. At the top, between the fat bit and the cap.
  9. Basically "we can use content you host/stream on our services for advertisement or compilations". The likeness of third parties is to indemnify the company in case they use a clip and someone in it isn't happy about it and decided they want money.
  10. I guess I had better sell my 4 cars, 5 bikes and get out of my home as apprently I don't have the money to live in anything beyond a dumpster. Oh wait, unlike you I know what I'm talking about. FYI most people own their own homes in the UK, but £700 would net quite a big house with a garage. Averages mean fuck all when you have single rooms in the town centre a mile away from £3000/week houses. But please, continue making assumptions on a subject you have obviously never had experiance with. Edit: As someone who has twice sat in front of a civil court shortly before receiving thousands in back payments for unpaid disability and housing benefits I know EXACTLY what I am talking about when it comes to welfare payments and the rental markets. I would also be better off if I walked out of my full time job and claimed carers allowance. Also, I won't be bankrupt if I have a heart attack tomorrow
  11. Lets see, £360 every 4 weeks towards rent (minimum, goes up if there is children or diabilites involved), about £100 per month towards council (local authority) tax, £92 per week per unemployed adult and along the lines of £500 per month per child under the age of 18 (up to 2 children). That's along the lines of 2 full time adults working for minimum wage. If there is any disability or health issue than you can add even more on to it. So yeh, not working and spitting out kids for the benefits nets more money that doing an actual job. Just because your welfare system forces people to live in a dumpster doesn't mean everyole elses does.
  12. People refuse to take these jobs and get government benefits to "look for work". Rent gets paid, spit out a few crotch goblins and they're getting more than most average jobs pay for the next 18 years.
  13. No, because they often use the same parts over and over again. Give it 5 minutes before thread is locked?
  14. Sounds more like a case of the higher capapcity unit has an additional flash chip and they are writing in parallel than a defect. I see many SSD's with speeds ratings like that
  15. I shouldn't have bought a Pentium D, what a steaming piece of crap that was.
  16. About 3 years ago I dropped my Note 2 and cracked the screen, shortly after I decided to rage-quit on it's ass (shit was hitting the fan and I had an actual rage moment), and snapped it in half.
  17. I gave up, most of it is beta versions of games, there's some sdk's that are of no real use. Only thing of interest is a massive 7z file that refuses to download. Not worth my time really, it's a boring load of unplayable games and development tools. I've had more luck with an older complete OG Xbox source leak that includes the original dash. Can't get any working code to compile though. I've spent 12 hours farting around with OG Xbox stuff and chatting on the Insignia discord, going to do something more productive tomorrow, most likely abandon Proxmox as the USB audio stutter is intolerable.
  18. All I shall say is holy shit, this is more than the source code for the OG console. It's half a terabyte MORE data than the OG source code.
  19. Not really new, this lot leaked over 10 years ago. It's how all the custom BIOS' were made. The SDK was leaked too which is how all the homebrew software was developed. Almost all of it used the SDK whch is why you can only download the source code unless you dig deeper. That said the emulators and build environments seem new to my knowledge so I'll try hunt this lot down and see what's in there
  20. Throwing more cores at a compiler than can utilize every single one will be quicker than using less faster ones. My laptop has a 1st gen i5 and my desktop has dual Xeons. The i5 has similar per core performance but is threashed by the Xeon system with 4 times the threads to work with. If you have half the IPC (at the same clock speed) but twice the cores, you'll get very similar performance.
  21. I've just seen MVG's latest video, attempts (which I was part of years ago) have finally led to a working implementation of the original Xbox Live system. https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/comments/gnjq97/announcing_insignia_a_replacement_for_xbox_live/ I'm slightly skeptical of the claim that a "completely clean room" Live service has been developed considering the project only started at the end of last year apparently. The entire Xbox kernel and client-side Live source code are floating around online as well as a supposed copy of the XBLOX (XBox Live On a Box) system which as the name suggests was a single machine Live service for development and testing by developers. I'm inclined to believe that it was written using that knowledge and code, then re-written using none of the original source. Possibly using the XBLOB to give them packets to capture and then reverse engineering from that. I know people involved in earlier attemps that I was a part of had access to the XBLOB, someone got a debug console signed in then was snapped up by Microsoft shortly before they started work on the OG Xbox compatability (coincidence?), then gave the code away as they were under an NDA and couldn't work on the project any more. From a technical standpoint, it is possible to bring back any game that did not use custom servers. The Xbox SDK provided a standardized server architecture that required little more than the game ID, game name and a few other configuration settings. All games used the same protocols, I have the SDK and have looked through it quite extensively. I know I'll be using this when it's publically available
  22. https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/contact-email?language=en_US Not exactly an email but it will end up in an inbox to be read
  23. Yupp, if factory fasteners can come loose without "servicing" then there's problems. Sounds like they gave out a free unit to look like a nice helpful company with the stipulation that Linux blames everyone but Eaton just to keep up an image.
