  1. OMFG please no..... Not another Ring 0 anticheat.... Starforce was bad enough. Who know what this thing is actually going to do...

     

    Frankly I'm more likely to want to pirate a game that has some sort of anti-cheat/antitamper software as in the vast vast majority of cases it will straight up run better and be more stable without it. 

     

    Never mind that some times I want to cheat or mod a little in my single player games especially when they become really grindy ot i'm bored with it and want to switch it up

    Or how about the when game is complete dogshit and a third party patch that would be blocked by the software improves the gameplay and performance a hell of a lot.

  2. I have an old 2nd gen i5 workstation laptop and even if i were to upgrade it as far as it can go with the top end cpu of the era, max out the ram, and upgrade the gpu with a bios flashed complatible one it would still be incredibly bad compared to even a $400 Ryzen based one from today. Said upgrades btw would push the toral cost of the laptop well over $800 and its totally not worth it. Such a massive difference between hw now and then

  3. So last week the F@H team did an AMA on Reddit in regards to everything that's going on with them as well as put out some Twitter posts with other information about what protein simulations actually are and I think it would be great for everyone to see this info.

     

    Also congrats to F@H for reaching over an exaFlop of compute power!! Thats absolutely amazing to see and super awesome that so many are invested in helping!!

  4. I've had drives that are well over 20 years old that functioned perfectly fine and most of the time were actually in better condition then a lot of the newer drives I have. Only reason I got rid of them is cause I managed to damage them by drop when taking apart the machines. I seem to kill way too much hardware that way.

  5. Ok so my sister has come to me looking for a laptop. New or used it doesnt really matter but her budget is $400 cad. I can probably get her to go a little higher but it's pretty stiff right now. I've been looking for a while and need suggestions. 

     

    She mostly does youtube, and schoolwork on it but if it is capable of light gaming then thats a bonus. Doesnt matter what OS it is as I can change that myself.

  6. Alright so a few months ago I bought a Dell MD1200 off ebay. It's worked great until now but as things are changing and moving around I need a replacement for it as it is just far far too loud in its new location. I would prefer a DAS option to just straight up replace it as it's attached to my R710 and quite integrated into everything.

    Any suggestions?

    So someone *finally* bought my Inspiron Gaming (Tried to auction it twice, both times resulted in buyer not paying, the third place bidder of the second auction finally paid), so I'm debating on what I want to buy,  I'm basically looking at a choice between a GTX 1080 (or maybe a 1070Ti)/Vega 64 (or maybe Vega 56) as an eGPU or I could get a 980m MXM card to put inside the laptop, theoretically the 1080/Vega cards would give WAY better performance while docked and should even give better performance running on the internal display (assuming it scales similarly to my RX 480 @ ~50% of external displays).  Nvidia *says* the power draw of the 1080 is only 180W but I doubt that, I expect it to be more like 250W when even slightly overclocked, plus I would have to deal with driver mods (which I'm not apposed to) with the 1080 cards and possible the 980M as well. Does anyone know if nVidia Optimus works when there is only nVidia GPUs present (the laptop has only a K3000M NOT an iGPU)? and if internal display performance is different than AMD cards.  It depends on what GPU I can score a deal on and if I can confirm driver mods fix issues with error 43 on 1080s.

    Optimus requires an Intel iGPU and an Nvidia dGPU, as it's an Nvidia product it doesn't work with AMD gpus. Unless AMD started using Nvidia gpus alongside their apu in laptops, I don't think Nvidia would ever make it available for them.
