Will this Benchmark tool at some point either be open source or partially open source. I can see a lot of potential for community members to build "harnesses" for games that may be not as popular but still interesting. That way someone could ask the Lab to please benchmark their favourite game while also providing an easy way for that to happen.

A Video about the Tesla Model 3. Linus talks about it in the Chevy Volt Video.

I think people are complaining about the Chevy Volt Video being an Ad mostly because production wise it looks like an ad. Sure DJI sponsored the Video, but DJI has no interest in making Chevy look good. Everything talking about the Car should be Linus's opinion and not sponsored talking points.

I am pretty sure they only archive the final export for ever and not the Red Raw footage. Athough I might be mistaken. I fear the 8k files are simply too large for most people. I can't see how torrents could work considering the fact that there are not a lot of people interested in 8k ltt and Torrents are only fast if a lot of people are seeding. Although it would be great if a selection of Videos get uploaded in 8k to Floatplane. Most people will not use it ofcourse but some may. I tried streaming the Yule Log and it just massacred my Internet Connection. Yes ofcourse. Although Ltt does not seem to be to concerned with that possibility. Any Floatplane subscriber could, if they choose to do so, download the Videos and create a Torrent. But torrenting Content you can already watch on Youtube seems like quite some work just for a slightly higher bitrate version.

A cheap gaming headset for 50 €. At that time I had no clue how to spot quality in that category. It had a microphone which broke of. It was uncomfortable and then it broke in such a way so that I could no longer adjust its position properly which made it even more uncomfortable. Yeah.

Wait. Socket LGA 1150 was also used by Broadwell (5th generation) not only by Haswell (4th generation). I'm just wondering why the Broadwell Chips are worse than the Haswell ones

Hi Your Cpu may still be completly adequate for the task. I own the same motherboard and I am on a I7 4790k which is a more powerful chip. Cpus tend to bottleneck your system when you try to game at really high framerates (above 140). If you use a 1080p Monitor and you are not interested in very high framerates, then I'm pretty sure your cpu is enough. Which games do you indend to play? If you tell us that, then we can tell you If you need to upgrade. But I am pretty sure there is no need to do so. Sure you could upgrade your Cpu to a 4790k but only if its necessary. If you want to go further then that you need to get a new motherboard, ram and cpu.

Issue Solved: After removing the Grafic Card the system booted just fine. I then readded components one by one and now the whole system is running again. Even the Firewirecard which most likely had nothing to do with my Post problems anyway.

Resetting Cmos got me into the Bios. The motherboard did not detect my M.2 Nvme Ssd. Thats not surprising. After all everything got reset. So I changed it to M.2 Mode which is necessary for the motherboard to detect the Ssd. Well now it won't post again. I need to get another Bootdevice so that I can do further testing

Hello everyone Short Summary: I added a PCI Firewirecard to my System (Asus Z97-A, I7 4790k). My System failed to post. I removed the Card. It booted normally. Once. Then It took about 10 attempts for a second successful boot. It posted a couple of times without booting aswell. Long Explanation: When I put my Gigabit Ethernet Card into my father’s computer I saw his Firewire Card. He does not need it for anything and the only reason why I put it in my Rig was so that I could digitize old family footage of our camcorder. After installing the PCI Firewire Card my Pc would not post. Removing the Card led to one successful boot and then it failed to post again, and again. The LED’s lighting up on the motherboard are, according to the motherboard the Dram Led and the CPU led. The VGA Led and the Boot Device LED. They light up in that order, but it must be said that the Dram and Cpu Led does not light up each time and only for a short moment. Here the Quote from the manual: “POST State LEDsThe POST State LEDs provide the status of these key components during POST (Power-On-Self Test): CPU, memory modules, VGA card, and hard disk drives. If an error is found, the critical component’s LED stays lit up until the problem is solved” The Boot_Device LED stays lit the longest, about two seconds. Then the System proceeds to do nothing but moving air with the fans. I am somewhat unsure what is going on. I don’t think the system is dead. After all I was able to boot it twice already. It just took many attempts. I am also pretty sure that removing the Ethernet Card should not cause issues. I could obviously put it back in. The Leds do not tell me much. Especially the Boot Device LED is confusing. The Motherboard Manual talks about hard disk drives. I do have a HDD, but its not my boot device although It does see activity when I start the PC. Even if adding the PCI Card messed something up in the Uefi, I don’t see why I should not be able to get to it. I hope someone knows what happened here. I attached the Motherboard Manual just in case. Thanks in advance DivusJulius E9378_Z97-A_UG_V2_WEB.pdf

Do you mean: How will the Cache of the SSD operate if I partition the drive into two volumes? I would say it works the same way. But I could be wrong. Though I see no reason for why splitting the drive into two volumes should impact the cache.

I don't quite understand why 2 drives should be faster. Sure you could read and write to both at the same time but then you would also need to have fast drives which can make use of the speed of both drives for it to be worth it. In day to day use a single larger ssd has identical or better performance compared to the 2 smaller drives. The larger drive has a larger cache after all. The points about longevity are valid too, but most Consumers never even get close to burning an SSD these days. On the topic of RAID 0 I have just one thing to say. Why? I believe people are under the impression that it doubles performance across the board. It may indeed double or almost double sequential read and write speeds. But who needs that anyway in everyday use? Most people don't copy that many files. Raid 0 does nothing for random access speeds, it may even make them worse. So for any person that does not copy big files around daily Raid 0 is basically worthless. The Youtube (Also on Floatplane) Channel TechDeals has a lot of benchmarks on the topic. In this case he talks about PCI-E 4.0 SSDs but the results can be used to judge other SSD Raid 0 Configurations as well. After all its mostly sequential read and writes that see an improvement. So get the 1tb SSD. Its the better deal in terms of speed and price.
