    brain__washed got a reaction from Bombastinator in Can I add the memory from 2 graphics cards together?   
    Hi there!
     
    This seemed very interesting so I went Googling. I know for a fact that under Dx11 and with SLI, you could not add up the memory - the memory between the GPU's would be synced and loaded with the same data afaik.
     
    Someone on Reddit had this exact same question, but then regarding videogames. An NVidia rep responded with the following:

    I'm no expert, but I hope this helps regardless!

    brain__washed got a reaction from jagdtigger in Security updates for Windows 7 ostensibly end tomorrow, but also officially continue until 2023   
    Hmm, I've had the pleasure of updating quite a few machines for the company I work in. The experience has varied wildly across systems. Our secretary still had Windows 7 running, and so did I. I updated her machine straight to 1909, she walked in on Monday and commented that it felt only the Task bar had changed, she was able to carry on working right where she left off before the weekend.
     
    On my own workstation, that, for software compatibility reasons needed 1807, required 1,5 day of setting up, fixing broken software and as a finale, the GPU literally blew up (FirePro vapor chamber went *poof*, probably unrelated however).
     
    So, for some people, the update is probably just fine, while others will have massive problems. That's how it's been ever since Windows 98, and probably the way it's going to be in the future.

    April? The first of April by any chance?

    @Bladeravinger
     
    It's a matter of physics. I'd like to think you are not getting slammed because people don't believe you, but because something seems wrong. When a sensor reads a temperature below ambient on a non-exotic cooling solution, it is very likely the sensor is toast.
     
    in regards to wind chill, if it is 30 degrees outside, you take a thermometer and walk at 2 mph, the thermometer reads 30 degrees C, even though the air feels cooler. The reason the air feels cooler is because your body temperature is above 30C and due to the wind chill it is easier for your body to dissipate heat. If it would be 50 degrees, the air would actually feel hotter than that. Have you ever had a hot air oven and opened it right in your face? Same principle.
     
    I would definitely suggest trying to update the BIOS and see what the sensor reads out, or get some software to get a readout. Don't overclock with faulty sensors.
     
    I'm not trying to slam you for anything, just trying to give solid advice.

    brain__washed reacted to Thaldor in Epic Games marking people buying too fast as fraudulent users   
    The bad thing is that EGS is also quite probably becoming even worse. Steam and GOG Galaxy at least achieve game playing time data from their overlay, this is good way to do it because no other data is dangered in the process. EGS has Player Play Time Trackig in their near term development list while Epic Games Overlay is in the mid term list meaning they probably need to use a different method to keep tracking if the pplayer is playing the game. Comparing that as simple thing as shopping cart is impossible job for their interns in toilets to get done, I would guess they are going to track players playtime with process tracking, it's ok way to do it and trainers have use it for a long time to latch to the games, but it's extremely dirty and may be even a can of worms.
     
    And it's not even that. 4-6 months to add Brazilian and Australian dollars as currencies to the store, like what? Even the completely free Wordpress addon eshops have support for every single currency there is and it's nothing more than taking the approximated conversion rate from somewhere time to time and multiplying the store price with it to show the user the price in whatever currency they fancy. "Search by Genre and Tag" 1-3 months, are they actually making even completely their own search engine that is apparently even more in it's infancy than the store core. "Library improvements" - " Add sorting, filtering and different views to the library. Add support for moving installs and rediscovering existing installs." Excuse me for my French, what the fuck?!? Did Epic even develope EGS before releasing it?
    That's not a trainwreck. That is a trainwreck that happened in the train factory while trains were only in making. ?
