    As long as it's a fairly recent Quadro such as the above mentioned P4000, you should be fine.
     
    Honestly, Quadros are pretty capable gaming cards. I wouldn't worry about losing performance while gaming on one.

    Hey everyone!
    Just wanted to get the mod log started for our newest case mod!  It won’t be anything super crazy just a simple themed “Pay it Forward” mod for my mother.
    BACKGROUND
    My mother was always encouraging and supportive in my gaming growing up and to this day still plays Everquest(15 years later…).  Because of this, I am transplanting her computer guts into a Nanoxia CoolForce 1 Tempered Glass edition case.  Thankfully Nanoxia is sponsoring the case, fans and LED strips to make this a reality.

    So as we continue down this journey, help me celebrate a belated birthday/retirement/Mother’s Day gift.
    CONCEPT
    The front panel of the case will have the EQ logo in lavender and a vinyl decal shot of her halfling druid.

    The glass side of the case will be frosted with the druid logo.  Her main character’s name on the custom PSU shroud.

    If we can manage to get the wood and hardware, upgrading her gaming workstation is a priority as her small desk does not have the storage to handle her crafts and computer.  So I did up a concept for a desk that would provide her with all the organization she would need.



    WARNING!!! SPOILER!!
    Here’s the final before and after of the build and her gaming station.  Feel free to read through the forums to see how we accomplished this!

    8uhbbhu8 reacted to AshleyAshes in LTX 2018 by Amtrak or VIA Rail   
    Eh, Via Rail's The Canadian is really not cheaper than flying by a long shot.  It's a long distance configured train with Budd coaches and sleepers.  It's a lovely way to see Canada and I intend to take that train, sleeper class, one day from Toronto to Vancouver some day and then hang around while annoying @GabenJr and their wife, but if one wants to just GET to the Vancouver area from elsewhere in Canada, you'll save a LOT of money on a plane.  From a utilitarian view, you want to take a plane at least if travelling across Canada just 'Point A to Point B'. You want to take the train to SEE Canada along the way.
     
    Obviously, I can't speak for Amtrak.

    8uhbbhu8 reacted to For Science! in Perhaps the ugliest cable extensions in existence   
    So almost 1 year ago I wondered to myself whether ketchup and mustard cables were intriscally ugly, or whether it was the thin plasticy wiring that made it so.
     
     
    Fast forward to now, almost expended my to-do list in PC building, i decided to take on custom sleeving. What a better thing than to realize that crazy idea.
     
    Now please be gentle, this is my first time doing anything like this
     

     
    I actually think the first layer is quite pretty. the top layer is a bit too yellow/orange for my liking.
     

     
    So are the ketchup and mustard intriscally ugly and even custom sleeving cant help their hidious look? i dont know. But these extensions may look good in a pseudo-retro build? haha who knows.

    if that render is accurate i really don't see the point of this VS the 5T.
    i mean, if anything it looks worse with that notch, and the chin.

    It feels like the OnePlus 5T launched yesterday, and here we are talking about the OnePlus 6.
     
    I'm kind of shocked this hasn't been posted, or maybe there's just been a general lack of interest in the device? Whatever it may be, Amazon Germany accidentally leaked the device's store page ahead of the May 16th event OnePlus will be holding. From the photos, the device obviously has a notch despite retaining a chin (why then?) with the camera moved back into the middle of the device, along with a more rectangular fingerprint scanner. It's more clear in the other leaked photo but it looks like there will be a glossy rear panel, likely made of glass, but it'd be nice to see ceramic again.
    Those prices definitely seem steep even for OnePlus, but this being Amazon Germany, I'm assuming these prices include VAT, US shoppers are likely to pay less for the device. There are talks of a 256GB model but pricing wasn't listed.
     
    EDIT: Since the device was announced, here are the official prices and specs.
     
    6GB / 64GB - $529 / Mirror Black
    8GB / 128GB - $579 / Silk White + Both blacks
    8GB / 256GB - $629 / Midnight Black
    (Yes, the colors correspond with the memory capacity, unfortunately)
     
    Device specs are expected, with
    Snapdragon 845  6GB / 64GB and 8GB / 128 GB / 256GB options 2280 x 1080 6.3" AMOLED display (19:9 Ratio) 3,300mAh Battery backed by Dash Charge Dual nano-SIM support Bluetooth 5 16-megapixel f/1.7 main camera with OIS 4K 60FPS / 1080p 240FPS / 720p 480FPS  Device goes on sale on May 22nd, with Silk White being available on June 5th.
     
    So here in the US, the premium OnePlus device starts about $300 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S9+, $320 cheaper than the Google Pixel 2 XL, and $270 cheaper than the iPhone 8 Plus while retaining a headphone jack. All in all, a mighty fine device in its own right. I'm personally not sure how attractive the 8GB is, especially since I've been using my Pixel 2 XL with only 4GB of RAM just fine, but extra storage is probably more appealing anyway, as is that Silk White. It's also nice that 256GB is only an extra $100, instead of $150, and also 128GB more than what the Pixels offer for an extra $100. There are so many questions with the design of this device, however, such as introducing a notch but having to retain a chin, including a glass rear panel with no wireless charging, restricting colors to memory capacity, etc.

    In the continuing saga of Kaspersky and the company trying to rebuild it's image after all of last year's fiasco, the company has announced that they will be opening a Transparency Center in Zurich, Switzerland.  This transparency center will supposedly house most of its customer data as well as it's software assembly line and build infrastructure.  Future plans include building more transparency centers in North America and Asia by 2020.

    I think that this is a great step by the company, especially if they allow for the independent review of data access as is implied, however I think that most of the damage is probably done and it will be a long and steep road to regain the companies footing (if it is even possible).

    What business of the government is it?

    I don't think people realize what a VPN is and how easy it is to use one as a kid, all this does is infringe on the liberties of the people, it won't actually help anybody
