Seriously? :rolls eyes:

The Republic of Türkiye followed all official routes the change the country name from Turkey to Türkiye which was recognized by the UN, Nato, and WTO. So, your approval doesn't mean much. If this would be a person who said Turkey I wouldn't care much. But since this is an officially registered tax-paying media group, I have every right to point this out. But thank you for your input. Thank you for correcting my punctuation. Have a nice day.

Firstly, it is Türkiye, NOT Turkey. Secondly, some sick people started to prank professionals who are trying to rescue people who are under tons of concretes fighting hypothermia. Thousands of buildings collapsed millions of people got affected, and every single one of these search and rescue professionals racing against time to save people, and children right now who are fighting hypothermia as we speak. Even Ukraine sent aid to Turkey. UKRAINE! Let it sink in for a moment. Thousands already died and estimates might reach tens of thousands. The Republic of Türkiye Directorate of Communications contacted Twitter about this and ask for their cooperation. They had an online meeting with Twitter's Inbound WebRTCs John Hughes and Ronan Costello and communicate this problem about prank rescue hashtags, scam charity tweets, fake news etc. After the meeting and seeing their lack of willingness to cooperate they TEMPORARILY blocked Twitter so it wouldn't cause more harm than good. Thirdly, what are you doing about it? You are not obliged to do anything of course. In the end, you are just a "TECH" channel! Even Ukraine, while under occupation, sent help. All you are doing is tabloid journalism! Please at least don't create negative news like this to harm the efforts in Türkiye. I was following Linus Media Group for years. But as of now, I am unsubscribing from all of your channels. There is the news and there is the humanity. While reporting the Hindenburg accident WLS Radio broadcaster Herbert Morrison said "Oh, the humanity and all the passengers screaming around here. I told you. It's -- I can’t even talk to people whose friends were on there. It -- It's....I -- I can’t talk ladies and gentlemen." And while sharing news about a tragic disaster you joke! Quoting Herbert Morrison again "Oh! the humanity!"

Yeah but SLI/Crossfire is a little different. NVLink was actually a standard Nvidia used in AI servers and was something that performed as well as PCI-E Gen4 between cards during PCI-E Gen 3 era. SLI/Xfire was never good because even though you could have connected more than each card you added performed 20 to 30% extra. NVLink wasn't like that. Let me put it in an example. 2x 2080TI performs almost the same as a 3090 or maybe 5% slower or faster based on the benchmark it's performing. But 2x 1080TI when connected by SLI could never ever come close to a single 2080TI not because of the performance of each card but because of the inferior SLI technology. Nvidia didn't abandon NV Link because (only) they didn't like the multi-GPU set up they say PCI-Express 5 is fast enough for multi-GPUs. So that's why only their higher-end cards had NVLink in 3000 series and they totally removed it (as far as I know) from their 4000 series. My theory is that Nvidia didn't want people to stick with their previous flagship by adding one more next to it. Because you could always do what I did and buy a 1000W or over PSU when you first build your setup and add one more card later to catch up with the latest flagship. 2 x 2080 TI second-hand goes around 400 to 500 dollars here. But a 3090 is still around 700 to 800 dollars. So by killing multi-GPU big tech assured that you always go for the last Gen. Also trying to push the limit in a single card without caring the form factor created all slews of problems. Like the melting power cables, thermal throttling or overheating like AMD faces. And what's with an almost 4 slots card? How can people build a small media PC with an ITX form factor anymore? NVidia pushing the technology disregarding everything else isn't a good thing. They push other producers to accommodate them as well. It's not just GPUs got fat and expensive. PSUs and motherboards followed as well. Forget about crypto and covid and inflation. People just don't wanna pay a nice second-hand car money for a high-end PC anymore. GPU prices were maximum 30% of a system before. Now it is around 60% of the entire budget. Sorry I dragged on a lot. But I don't like what big Tech is doing. And, actually, it got back to them. Nobody is buying anything anymore and the trend will go like this till they get their act together. Newer isn't always the better but I agree that something faster than 2080TI will always be bottlenecked by my system. Anyway, as soon as I get my finances back on track, I'll build something more future-proof. My mistake, while I was building this PC, was I just when for the best Intel and Nvidia offered. I should have thought more about future-proofing my system and buying a PCI-E gen 4 AMD Ryzen system. It doesn't mean my PC is slow. it's just not going to be fast as long as I wanted it. Yeah, I decided to go for 2080TI. There is no point in getting something bottlenecked by this PC and will be at least 2 generations old by the time I build a new system. So, I'll stick a 2080TI in this one and call it a day. And when the time comes, I'll go with a completely last-gen and future-proof build so I can use it for 5 to 8 years. This one will be going for 5 years as well but not really satisfyingly. I am OK with the speed, but the system became a bottleneck after 3 years. My previous build got me going for almost 10 years with small upgrades.

Could you elaborate a little on this? What kind of performance gains are we talking about? Because 3070 is the almost same price as 2080TI. I saw a couple of videos comparing a dual 2080TI system with a 3090 and "in multi-GPU supported" games dual 2080Tı setup either %5 behind or ahead depending on the title. Everyone keeps saying a new single GPU system is better however how is an almost 4-slot 4090 which is drawing officially drawing 450W and peaking over 600W any better? Yeah, multi-GPU is dead but new cards are as big and as power-consuming as a multi-GPU setup anyway. At least with a multi-GPU setup we could take off one of the GPUs and put it on another system (or give it away), sell one off when we need to or just disable it whenever we don't need that kind of performance. So, I actually wish they would still support it. : (

I used to have a LGA775 before. Which had PCI Express 2.0, USB 2.0 and DDR 2. As much as I tried to upgrade it the bottle neck was the architecture itself. No matter what I did it didn't go beyond a certain point. I believe I am in the same position at the moment. I9 9900K is PCI Express 3. So anything I would buy would be bottlenecked by this. It is fast don't get me wrong but after all these suggestions I think I will jump from RTX 2000 series to RTX 5000 or 6000 series in 2 to 4 years depending on how bad my experience would get in coming years. So long story short I wouldn't upgrade this PC other than buying a 2080TI or 3080TI. I wanted to know this actually. So, there is no point in getting a 3080Tı since it will be bottlenecked anyways. I didn't do my research while I was building this PC and I went for Intel. I should have gone for AMD so I could get another 5 years just buy upgrading my GPU and use same GPU for the next PC. Right now, it would be a total waste. I believe the best thing would be to stick a 2080TI in it and then pass it over to my kids and go for a completely brand-new PC in 2 to 4 years. I think I have to face the music about this. Normally two 2080TI's should give me the same performance as one 3090 or at least close. But developers cannot even make a proper game and go for day one patch and such. I shouldn't assume they would take their time to add multi-gpu support of any kind. : ( Too bad tho. I had an Asus NV-Bridge from my old setup. Oh, by the way, I am in China. No chance of Ebay here. But there are similar apps. I sold my 2070s for over USD1000 when I needed the money. Now you can get one for 150 to 200 USD.: P Thank you.

I built my pc back in 2019 and used to have 2 2070s NvLinked. I sold both of those cards when my second kid was born and bought a RX550 fot time being back in early 2021. Time being ended up till now. I want to upgrade my GPU at the moment since RX550D suck so bad. My system is I9 9900K, 32Gb Ram with 1000W PSU and since it's being PCIe Gen3 and 2080TI is dirt cheap these days should I buy one or two of these or buy a 3080 TI around the same price? 2080TI is $250 a piece. 3080 TI is around $500. What do you guys think? I don't really want to buy an RTX 4000 card at the moment since it is way too expensive. I want to use my PC for another couple of years and buy a new PC instead of upgrading and giving this one to my kids. Oh, by the way, I want to game in 3040 x 1440 since I am using an Ultrawide monitor. I am not an Ultra setting kind of guy. I can easily go to Medium for a smoother experience.

I've tried Linux a few times however it never sticks with me. I would love to buy a school license for Windows Server and MS Office. It would be seriously cheap compared to retail versions. Also, I would have to teach something they would use day to day everywhere. And you have to agree that Windows hold in OS market.

Hey LapsedMemory The solution that you describe here is actually what I would like to do because I do not want to pay multiple license fees. Also, I want to learn a little bit about this myself as well. So, this is an experiment + solution for me. It is also easier to maintain because PXE clients don't have hard drives. And if something goes wrong you only need to deal with the server, not 25 clients individually. Obviously, I can get a backup and just install it to multiple clients but still, you have to deal with each and every computer individually. So, I actually researched a bit about this on the internet, but this is not a very widely followed route so the resources about thin client maintenance are very limited. I am going to check the server suggestions to see if I can find some in here. Thank you.

Hello I would like to set up a computer lab in a small school and have 1 server + 25 thin clients set up to teach kids basic windows + MS Office (or Open Office, WPS Office) skills. Because it is going to be licensed to school, I am not that worried about license fees. But I've never dealt with servers before. I don't know what the server requirements are for running 25 instances of windows and MS Office. My initial calculation was 2GB per instance so a server with 32 Cores and 128GB RAM should be OK. I will solve thin client issue by buying some second-hand HP ones. I want to solve the server issue the same way too. So, could you please recommend to me some 1U or 2U (size doesn't really matter since I will buy a 14U cabinet anyway) server good enough to pull this off? Thank you. PS: I know I have to buy some extra materials like 1 or 2 switches with at least 1GB speed. and I have to deal with cabling as well. So, any recommendations on that would be great two. PPS: I also want to install an RX6900XT to this server so I can play some games on my lunch break.

Budget (including currency): 100$ Country: China Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: OBS and other streaming related software. (Voicemod etc) Other details Asus Fm2+ Mobo Hey everyone This is my first post to this forum so I do apologise in advance if I brake any forum rules. I have come to China for our baby sons birth )my wife Chinese and she wanted to deliver the baby in china) To upgrade my existing FM2+ PC back home I recently bought an Asus FM2+ mobo for 100 RMB. There is a really cheap second hand market here so I can build a PC less than $100 which would have: AMD 860K (or 870k if I get lucky) Geforce 1050Ti Graphics Card 8GB DDR3 Ram Dedicated for AMD (I can go for 16GB since they go for around $10 for each stick) 120GB Lenovo SSD (Brand new) PSU+Case etc. Is this build will be good enough for a dedicated streaming PC? I'll be honest with you I actually do not need one. I have an I9 9900K with dual Zotac RTX2070 Super (NVI linked) and 32GB DDR 3000Mhz ram and MSI Optix 144hz (UWQHD) monitor. But I wanna experiment with 1 and 2 PC streaming systems and as I said second hand market is really really cheap here. This second PC I build will only be used for OBS, Voicemod, Touch Portal etc. I don't mind to install Linux if it meant more performance over Windows 10. Thank you
