    I checked, it works well like the K40m, please tell me how you modified the bios? I tried changing the value to 2A in offset 00000780/06 in the K40c or your K40mc_signed bios via HxD and then fix checksum in KBT, but nothing succeeded. Thanks, you rock!

    It works and now we all know about the importance of modular laptops so we can put pressure on mainstream manufacturers to respond to this threat to their crappy, unsustainable business models.

    I personally don't recommend messing with the H61 Bios (or any motherboard bios)... In terms of the K20m, you have come to the right place. The only thing needed to get the K20m running a K20c vbios is nvflash along with a proper vbios. The only edit you need to make is to change the K20c vbios device id to think it is for the K20m so that nvflash will allow it to be written. Along with resigning with Kepler Bios Tweaker (Not Hard, just resave). I'll load up a K20c vbios when I get the chance and make the necessary changes and I'll post back here with it. Note: I'm not responsible for any bricked hardware but I will help in any way that I can.
    @ABIT-Wolf
    Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have had a lot going on with school recently... I believe your analysis is correct though the two gpus seem to be fighting for the same resources. I do not have my original vbios file I didn't count on it getting messed up on the LTT website, so hopefully it can be restored soon. Is it possible that your motherboard is using a plx chip rather than having the raw pcie lanes... I feel like that could be causing an issue. Have you tried without the display out card and using a remote desktop tool like parsec? This could free up unnecessarily used pcie lanes that could be causing your issue. Note: You will probably have to enable a setting like "Headless mode" in the motherboard bios to get a post without a display card. Good Luck.

    Well that didn't work out. Just seems when running 2x Tesla M40's in this HP Z620 only one will work if both has the same v-bios.
    I even tested a new mod v-bios "nvidia tesla m40, Tesla m40, NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X, overclock 1380mhz (1291 / 1502)"
    that I didn't notice was a mod v-bios for the M40 until a few days back. It had some nice clocks, but has the same problem as
    the one you did "code 10" seems both cards want the same resources assigned. Now I can run one with the stock v-bios and
    the other with either of the mod v-bios without any problems. When tying to run same mod or mixed mods I ran into many
    problems. Lost my windows 10 with a DDU and new install of drivers. Everything had to be wiped and new install.
    Lost everything once again. Starting over now trying to get my setup back to normal. If you can call what I'm trying to do normal. lol
    Edit: I ran Heaven benchmark a few times and this is what it looked like on one M40 Quadro K620 as display out.
    This is the card with the mod v-bios.

    The M40 nor did the new power splitter cable come in on the 3rd like they were suppose to.
    Looks like Monday before I get them, the holidays has shipping's coming in later than normal.
    I was really looking forward to working with this this weekend.
    With any luck maybe I will have some results sometimes Monday night to report.

    @ABIT-WolfYes, because I didn't change anything else from the Titan-X V-Bios it has all the same clocks and voltages. Should be fine anyway since the Tesla M40 has better cooling. If it becomes unstable though you may want to turn the clocks down with the maxwell II v-bios editor. It is normal for it to still show up as a Tesla M40 and not as a Titan-X, The same happened with the Tesla K40M. Is it working in a non-64bit BAR motherboard now?

    The Tesla M40 worked perfect in the HP Z420. Took me 7 or 8 hours yesterday to get it all running.
    Super tight fit for the card with the shroud and fans, but was able to get the side panel on no problem.
    Drivers was a bit of a problem since I used a Quadro 600 for display out.
    Full load tested all night, temperature look great at 45c. The dual fans really do a great job.

    This V-Bios will not flash but I need to know what error it raises from nvflash. It won't affect the card because nvflash is programmed to check the device id, pci id, etc. Funny enough if it did just flash it, it would likely work. Knowing what errors it raises will help me narrow down what exactly needs changed. This V-Bios was sourced from the techpowerup database as the only Nvidia card vendor Titan X. It shares the same memory compatibility and gpu chip and vram amount so it should work fine once reidentified.

    Poet129 reacted to Nystemy in We were WRONG about RAM – Or were we?   
    Overall a good informative post that is mostly correct.
     
    Though, a lot of games loads assets preemptively long before it will be required to be drawn. (usually handled by various trigger zones in games, the most obvious ones being loading screens when moving between scenes, but a lot of games handle it through other means of segmentation. Likewise is there normally triggers for offloading assets too.)
     
    Some developers though don't care about figuring out what assets will be where and when so therefore don't bother about preemptively loading asset data leading to rather huge frame drops if they also are stupid enough to require the data to render the next frame. (A lot of games just shrugs it shoulder's and don't care about missing assets, when they finally do load in they will pop into place as they should. Often times the issue is solved by having a very low res version available of the asset and switching over to the higher res when that eventually loads. LOD is a savior.)
     
    Usually a game will have to use both of the tricks above (asset loading/unloading triggers and LOD). For static things in a map we can very trivially know when and where assets will be required and not. For stuff that actually moves then the situation gets harder. (however, since one can still segment a map, one can keep track of what currently exists in a given segment and therefor know that when one is heading towards entering it that we will need to start loading in said assets. But there is many ways to skin this cat.)
     
    Then there is resizable bar, this has nothing to do with the GPU accessing storage directly.
     
    Resizable bar is when the base address register (BAR) size of the PCIe package can be of a larger size than standard. The BAR is effectively just a reference, often used as a pointer in VRAM (but not always), but is effectively up to the GPU software to do whatever it pleases with. (The BAR is effectively just some user defined metadata. Without Resizable bar this is only 27 bits (256 MB if used as a VRAM pointer, since PCIe works with 16 bits not 8, not that anything stops a developer from taking 8 bit steps per address increment), with resizable bar we get 38 bits (512 GB if used as VRAM Pointer), with Expanded resizable bar we get 263 bits (this is about enough to individually address every atom in the universe, completely a waste of bits unless we also use the bits for more than an address pointer, so using bits for priority information among other things is useful here.))
     
    Direct Storage (a Microsoft standard) is when a PCIe device can access storage directly, as to "skip" the CPU. This is however something not all that new, PCIe and even PCI devices have more or less been able to communicate directly with each other since its inception. But often times it isn't wise for one device to go talking with another, since this can cause all sorts of weird and wonderful software issues unless accounted for (ie, the system would often just crash). Direct Storage more or less provides a standard way for this communication to happen. (another example of PICe devices communicating without the OS's/CPU's involvement is AMD's Crossfire multi GPU technology.)

    Poet129 reacted to shadow_ray in My own encryption technique made in Python featuring RSA.   
    From the python docs (random module)
    Warning: The pseudo-random generators of this module should not be used for security purposes. For security or cryptographic uses, see the secrets module.
     
    So RSA is only used here to generate keys and seed the non cryptographically secure random number generator.
     
    So this is basically a Caesar cipher where each byte has it's own offset, and this offset is coming from the non cryptographically secure random number generator.
     
    So the main problem here is that python uses the Mersenne Twister as the core generator,  which is reversible. The cipher is not a strong one either.

    Poet129 reacted to Sauron in I think I've found a way to look at data density and therefore its non-random compressibility   
    I'd say... none? What do you think this does? You're just interpreting a bunch of bytes as integers and plotting them on a graph... for that matter why use 10 bytes for an integer? Seems pretty arbitrary... why not 2 or 50 or 1000? Why use integers at all?
    Do you have any citation or data to back up this claim or did you just make it up? You can't just write 3 lines of code doing something with a dataset, notice a pattern among 4 sets and then just assume this is a fundamentally true property of all datasets. If you have a theory about a mathematical property of data you need to show some sort of mathematical proof that this is the case, or at least a very significant correlation with a sufficiently large amount of input data. Compressibility in general is a pretty ill defined concept anyway.

    Well, I've now figured out why the nvidia driver won't start on the modded v-bios... apparently they are signed however the signatures are stored in the v-bios itself not checked against a known good list. So running the modded K40c v-bios through KeplerBiosTweaker, and changing nothing just using it to resign it makes it all work... one year later wow so simple. So all that needs done is to get a variant of the card's v-bios that will work in your motherboard then mod it to allow it to be flashed to your card via nvflash (I only had to change one byte), then resign it with KeplerBiosTweaker and finally flash it using nvflash on Linux or a normally functional board. No need to reflash every reboot now. 🙂

    Poet129 reacted to ASTRAL_LTT in Creating a display instance WITHOUT a monitor or a dummy plug   
    If in case you need a new display instance for your project or setup but you don't have a dummy plug or your graphics card does not have an output port, this might be for you.
     
    What you need to do:
    Simply download and install ge9's IddSampleDriver (read the instructions included there). Go to Device Manager and Display Settings to check if the driver is working properly. How it works:
    Microsoft recently introduced the concept of Indirect Display Driver (IDD). This is basically just an implementation of that. In essence, it creates a display instance without requiring a physical connection to the graphics card.
    ge9's IddSampleDriver is a fork of roshkins's IddSampleDriver which adds a config file that you could use to set the amount of display instances as well as the available properties for those displays.
     
    Things to note:
    This requires fairly advanced computer skills according to the driver's author. Moreover, this is a custom driver from a pretty much unknown source. Proceed at your own risk. With that said, I would also like to give my opinion that simply being diligent in reading the instructions and having basic knowledge in what drivers and certificates are is enough to make this work.
    Also, if the certificate was not installed properly, try opening either Command Prompt or Powershell as administrator, navigate to installCert.bat's directory and open it from there.
     
    As mentioned before, you could use this for a variety of cases. A comment on a Reddit post that I made even stated that they got their Tesla M40 (a card without a display output port) to produce a display output using this.
     
    Credits:
    roshkins for their driver ge9 for their convenient fork I also posted this on Reddit and LTT Discord for those who are interested.
    I'm trying to make this reach as many people as I can so that Google could place this method on the first page of search results since I had a hard time finding this on my own.

    Poet129 reacted to TooUnskilled in Thread For Tech Quickie Video Suggestions   
    This is more of a new series/new channel suggestion.
     
    You could cover new game releases/updates, in terms of their performance/optimization on different hardware.
    It would be almost the same process as what you already do for new hardware releases.
    But instead of checking how a new CPU/GPU performs on a bunch of games, you check how a new game performs on different systems.
    And even which settings affect performance the most.
     
    When I'm considering buying a new game, I'm always wary of the chance that it's poorly optimized for my hardware, or just a bad console port that doesn't work as well as it should on any system.
     
    Having a trusted source put numbers on the performance a game has, would be very helpful when choosing what to buy.
    And revisiting it after it's been updated would be even better.
    I remember Linus mentioning something about RDR2 being poorly optimized for the PC in the last WAN show, then immediately retracting his statement because maybe that has changed since the initial release.
     
    And from a production standpoint, you would pretty much never run out of content for as long as there are new games/updates to be reviewed.
    You wouldn't even necessarily need all that many pcs.
    Just including one midrange CPU/GPU of each brand and generation would give a good enough picture of the performance on the entire generation, since they all share the same architecture.
    So you might be able to get by with only ~5 workstations, covering the last 5 generations of Intel/AMD CPUs, and Nvidia/AMD GPUs.
     
    Sure, you could also mix and match, or include more than one piece of hardware per generation, but that would exponentially increase the amount of work needed per game.
