  1. Can you give actual PC specs? That Specy view doesn't really show much. Also, can you install MSI Afterburner, turn on the OSD and monitor all Frequencies/Temps of CPU/GPU/vram etc? That way you might be able to see a spike somewhere that could indicate hardware failure. Also if you have other games with RT you should try them as well. Maybe the RT Cores on the 4070ti are faulty or something.

    Kinda exactly what an American would say As long as there's decent substitutes for personal cars/ICE cars then there's no problem with banning them. Americans always think you have a human right to burn as much gas as possible, if not, you are enslaved.
  4. Fun short story about how I thought I had accidentally killed a couple hundred people yesterday because of F@H.

     

    I setup my two PC's for this years marathon and on Monday left for vacations. I kept the PC's running because I downclocked them to keep the Temps down. I also installed TeamViewer so I can easily check in from my phone once a day. 

     

    Yesterday evening I wanted to do my daily check but the PC was unreachable. So I panicked just a little bit. Then I tried to reach my NAS which was also unavailable even though it runs on my newly acquired UPS. I thought the only possible explanation was that the PC burned down and took the NAS with it. I live in a 20 story building and have never seen a sprinkler system. GG.

     

    Naturally I checked my city on Google because that would definitely make the news. The first picture from a couple hours ago I find was this:

    My heart dropped to the bottom of the fucking Mariana trench and I thought "oh fuck, I just killed everybody in that building because I didn't turn off that damn 7900XT". My night was accordingly bad. 

     

    Today a friend reached us and asked if we still don't have power back because of the fire at the electricity distribution system. We found out our building is the only one that doesn't have it's power back and thus my UPS failed (been 30+ hours). 

     

    So yeah. Turns out folding did NOT kill all my neighbors but I will lose a couple ranks in the marathon until I can turn the PC's back on on Saturday (granted the power is back). 

    Thanks for the scare of my life @GOTSpectrum @TVwazhere 😅

      Next DIY project :

      Your own room sprinkler system

       

      Or you know... an internet connected smoke/fire detector with a router connected to it's own big sized UPS :x

       

      Edit : Just remembered something I found way back, not that I ever tried it myself.

  5. I did pretty much the same thing. I had a 220j and it wasn't enough anymore so I got a used 920+ and turned the 220 into an off-site backup. It's bloody easy and works perfectly. I'd say though, don't get a 923. AFAIK they didn't really improve anything over the 920 which you can get much cheaper used. OR get one of the bigger 18XX units used. That way you get the 10G expansion, better CPU/Ram and more drive bays obviously. Just make sure they support BTRFS because that's really important imo.

    Generally baffles me how huge companies and institutions for standards can't come up with decent naming schemes. USB being one of the more prominent examples, it also came with a "super speed" version
  7. I also had both (albeit a 2060KO) and they were really very close but like the others already said, the extra vram gave the 1080 the edge in modern titles at high resolutions. 2060 uses less power though obviously.
  8. Nice, broke the top100! Not sure if I can stay there because apparently today I had many good WUs but we'll see

    Mh thanks, but for that I just use Google. I don't want to do any extra steps, I need to see it always up to date right away Thanks though!
  10. Does anyone know a good Android Widget that just tells me the currency exchange rate of one currency? 

    I need to more closely monitor Mexican Pesos to Euros to know a good time to transfer money home.

      I use Unit Converter which converts many different forms of measurement, and recently added a currency tab. It's an app though and not a widget that sits on your home screen 😞

  12. i'd say just go back to the old drivers? Uninstall current ones with DDU and then download the previous one you used directly from Nvidias website. If it still gives you issues we'd have to look at it again. Else i guess you made sure that the Temps and clock speeds are still normal?

    I bought my Synology used because the MSRP is really a little high. I obviously got new HDDs but buying the box used significantly lowered the price. It seems your electricity is a lot cheaper though so a TrueNAS is the harder to setup but much faster solution compared to Synology.

    As a German with one of the highest electricity prices worldwide I shut my TrueNAS down in favor of a synology box to save some electricity.
  19. So wait, are the Earbuds supposed to play music really loudly when in speaker mode and "headphone"-Loud when in Earbud mode? That sounds like it'll accidentally kill your eardrums in no time.

    Oh well yeah I have a 7900XT so it does around 4.5M as well. But at almost 300w is the problem.
  21. Might be a better idea to post the exact model here instead of some random specs. Not everything can be shown in specs unfortunately.
  22. Well, then cancel it and f#ck YouTube. They only learn if they lose money, that's the only language they speak.

    Why are you doing it? For extra money, to learn something new, you are bored often, etc?
