    Why can't I port forward?

    Do you have a VPN currently enabled or a tunnel running? It looks like a PPP connection is up in the second right picture, that will cause your public IP to change

    i did, and i turned it off (forgot i had it on from last night lol), i tested it again afterwards, and now it just works all of a sudden. i really didnt expect it to, but it works now, so, uh yeah.. thanks everyone for helping 🙂

    Spectrum doesn't do CG-NAT so you're good there.

    You need to start the minecraft server on the local IP, it will then be port forwarded from your public IP to the internal IP. Right not it's trying to bind to your public IP address which you don't want.

    True, google did and they refused to acknowledge its existence.
    I fixed that, mc server starts now. lol forgot I had to use the other ip. ports still closed.
    side note, seems like my public ip keeps changing.. not sure how to change that either.image.thumb.png.8ab3f16854642e9fc2a51bb55e576f1c.png

    What have you done to test if a port is open?

     

    If you have access to the spectrum router's WebUI and have configured everything correctly then you should be good to go. Common issues with port forwarding are Double NAT and people trapped behind NAT64-CGNAT but a Coax connected router network from Spectrum usually doesn't put people behind that. I have heard bad things about fiber networks though in that regard. Where you live may impact how this affects you. I'd verify that your public facing IP is in the Public Domain and not a NAT reserved IP.

     

    You should also note that a online port checker will only tell you it's open if there's a server set on the port to reply. If the server isn't running and configured the port will still report as closed sending you down a rabbit hole.

     

    In the worst of case you could configure a VPS and punch through that way. Just setup the VPS with VPN hosting software, connect and away you go.

    Mainly just portcheckers online, but also pings from friends via cmd.
    idk how to see if its a public domain or nat reserved ip.
    It does this whenever I host a server

    and wdym about vps and vpn, I do have a friend willing to let me vpn into his network because port forwarding works for him, would this work?

    Post screenshots of both the modem and router settings you've got now.

    I personally find these kinds of situations far easier to solve when I have remote access. That being said never give access to people you don't know well... so if you've got a friend that could help you out that would be the logical next step if LTT forum and screenshots don't suffice.

    if you feel like remoting in, hmu in dm's.

    A long time ago I used spectrum and their modem/router combo with 200/10mbps and port forwarded fine.
    Then, I moved to a bigger city, got google fiber. I tried working with 2 different support teams at google to figure out why its not working, no one could figure it out. The google wifi router team kept saying its the ISP (google fiber) and the ISP kept saying it was the router. Moved again a year later, got spectrum so I could port forward, only other option is ATT... Some googling revealed that the modem/router combo unit aint the play for port forwarding, and also no $5/m charge so hey, i'll just get the free modem. Turns out I still cant port forward, for unknown reasons. Firewall is still set correctly, router settings correct, DHCP ip reservation set (not necessary but helped some people). Ports closed. I started looking up online why it may not be working, and besides saying its the spectrum router/modem combo unit, everything I saw suggested that it was likely the modems fault, being locked down and all (no accessible gui). I wasn't even able to use my Asus RT N66R router with the default spectrum modem, it always said ISP DHCP not setup correctly. I bought a new modem (netgear cm600), and the asus router finally worked, port forwarded with it, setup static ip, ports still closed. I tried doing text tech support with spectrum and they told me to call a number for "advanced tech support" I did, and then was met with 28 minutes of: It's the router, its nothing on spectrums end.
    But with everything correctly configured on my end, changing ISP's, Routers, Modems, Pc's, and it STILL doesn't work, can anyone help?

    When selling used PC parts like CPU's and GPU's, should sellers be required to post benchmarks showing they aren't burnt out?

    No point.
    Performance will mostly not degrade by more than 5% unless there is hard artifacting on the card lol, this mainly depends on thermals though, if the thermal paste hasnt be re-applied after years and years, after a while the card will run warmer and not clock as high. Also thermal cycling is what mainly causes degradation. The only difference with buying a new vs used card, mining or not is how long it could last. Pretty much everything made these days would last 10 years or more if treated right, so if a miner uses it for 2, you got around 8 left, but after a couple more years it'll be outdated enough to swap out anyway.

    ASUS VG27AQ, Screen flickering, blackscreens

    I have a 27" ASUS VG27AQ connected via DisplayPort to a GTX 1080 (Driver-Version: 457.30).

     

    The Display supports 144Hz (165 oc), G-Sync and DisplayPort 1.2

    The GTX 1080 of course DisplayPort 1.4

    They are connected via a 10meter DisplayPort cable.

     

    My issue is, that every few minutes the signal seems to drop out entirely, which results in a black screen, or it will partially drop out, which results in a portion of the display to show some grey nonsense.
    But it doesn't even take a second for the picture to come back again.

     

    I have tried to disable G-Sync and lower the refresh rate - doesn't make a difference.

    But as soon as I change the color profile from RGB to YCbCr422 in the NVidia Control Panel, the flickering stops immediately. Doesn't look very nice anymore tho.

    I also had no issues running 120Hz without G-Sync over a 10meter HDMI cable.

     

    Got some ideas?
    Tomorrow I will probably try a much shorter DisplayPort cable and see what happens. Maybe that fixes the issue, but I need the cable to be 10 meters long :( 

    Maybe the cable or the port on the monitor is going out? Thats all I can really think of. My Dell S2716DG had its HDMI port go out recently, its just flickering constantly now.

    Regarding the GPU side of things, I'm assuming your workload(s) don't require the GPUs to run in SLI, right? Since the 3080s do not support that functionality.

    No real workloads care about SLI, at most NVLink if you have the top end cards and you have a very specific case. Most just support mGpu with any of the same cards (Same gen nvidia for example), it just makes the cpu split the workload for it, thats why it also likely needs to be fast (clockspeeds?) This is just speculation from the ai work I do sometimes.

    Low Cinebench (~650)/game performance with new 9600k

    I cleared it a few times when finishing the install, and it’s running at 4.3 under load.

    Just throwing this out there, warzone probably uses more threads than typical games, and the 9600k is a side-grade in gaming and a down-grade in productivity compared to the 1700x. That could have something to do with lower frame rates.
    I experienced a similar issue going from an 1800x (effectively) to a 7700k @5.1ghz, and it was, in my experience, slower in most games, especially games like Siege or Warzone that seem to act more cpu dependent.

    These CPUs are still pretty recent workstation CPUs which are always a worse value for the money in terms of performance, but that's not why you buy workstation parts. The systems that contain the Xeons have support for stuff like ECC memory and a few other features, and the motherboards (usually, notable exception being Apple's machines) are much higher quality and much more reliable than consumer ones. So yea, this isn't as good of a value as a brand new Ryzen 5 3600 even while being a used part, but again, that's not why I'm considering this. You could argue that the additional features the Xeons have could easily be transferred over to the formerly consumer platform

    Thats why there are X58/X79/X99 communities trying to keep those systems alive, mainly x58 by clocking them xeons, but that has died down a little more. X79 is becoming a better value now, with avx support it's still pretty good, and its just before DDR4.
