DIY external GPU, sound like classic lmg

Just saw this on Engadget and thought it would be a neat update to the DIY speakers from a year ago...  Would be neat to see if a $190.00 development board and a Raspberry Pi makes for as good of an experience as a pre-built speaker system.

 

Make your own WiFi/Bluetooth speakers from a set of non-connected speakers:

Hey guys,

Just want some community feedback on this. Most of these things are already in the queue to some degree. Just trying to prioritize...

Reviewing old consoles for there time. Id like to here some thoughts on the PS1 and GameCube.

Do a reverse engineering flick, where you take apart a commercial product like a laptop or uber small pc.

 

3D print a desk, like the desk you built outta wood and placed the pc inside the desk.

his may be the wrong place, but what about a 10 year comparison of the Phenom II 1100T vs the 1950X. It's a 10 year flagship comparison. But with a twist of trying to see what the difference is if they could be fully utilized and what real world comparison of game performance would be if this existed to the extreme.

 

I'm guessing this could done this way: (as they are different mobo's and architectures)

 

1. Same GPU (possibly vega/HBM2 based)

2. The best MOBO for each

3. Best Ram setup

4. Same HDD/SSD. Obviously easier to potentially use the same software. Or does windows make this hard now?(I'm a linux user, I don't keep up anymore.)

5. Coolers? I keep seeing something about a hyper evo 212 for the 1100t or something. Don't know if I was considering OCing but this might be practical for the build to compare absolute performance potential. (I use stock cooler BTW.)

 

Each system should be optimized for hypothetical maximum performance given their potential. I assume GPU can be the same as they can potentially use the same thing. And I'm assuming this is a better/easier comparison as far as actual gaming statistics.

 

I'm not sure how to simulate hypothetical software changes. Are there any games that can do this and show how much could be done while getting FPS outside of the cinebech or whatever 3d modeling is benchmarked... Or is that all that can be done or the most appropriate option?

 

It could also be compared to modern real world comparison of gaming and other software.

 

I'm kind of assuming the normal benchmarks may cover this. But I was wondering if there is anything more interesting to use to compare it. Especially given any changes in hardware like the new vega's expanded ram or other things AMD offers given it's greater focus on multithreading. Maybe it could be done assuming games had fully utilized the maximum in parallel processing and expanded ram or other features. Just to see what could happen if software kept up more. Then compare this to real world modern gaming performance. Are there games that could do or can be made to use the new vega HBM2 memorry and it's potential. Or any odd software that could demonstrate the differences? I was reading things at some point about the potential of increased map sizes and other thing in games and other software. And if this becomes normal at some point on both nvidia and amd side it might be interesting for potential future software design. If something better doesn't replace it by then.

 

If it's convenient this could also be compared to other tasks similarly. Especially if there are no HBM2 gaming focused GPUs atm. Basically a, "What could be!", sort of video. Or have you already done this?

 

***To note: 1100t once cost around 100-120 US dollars. So it's a 10/1 price comparison technically given what it was at it's cheapest and what the 1950 was at it's more expensive side. Thread ripper 1950x is also almost the same core speed with double cores(Must have looked at the 1920x.). So, it's superficially kind of an interesting comparison. What was the expensive side of the 1100t? I'm assuming around 500-600USD.

 

You could also throw different resolutions at them if that makes a difference. And reproduce your, "Ghetto," set from this video! >< It's video 66. The evil video?! Although I don't think this video used an 1100t. But It's a nice old video.

 

https://www.google.com/search?q=NCIX+Tech+Tips+%2366&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

 

Oddly it's brining up this playlist instead of the video. It's, "AMD Phenom II X6 Overclocking Tutorial (NCIX Tech Tips #66)"?! The video link won't go straight to it. It should be the first video in the google link... NVM, It's fixed.

 

Here's the userbenchmark comparison since I was looking at it before posting this: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-TR-1950X-vs-AMD-Phenom-II-X6-1100T/3932vs2004

 

And this one since it shows cpu ram: https://technical.city/en/cpu/Ryzen-Threadripper-1950-vs-Phenom-II-X6-1100T-BE It actually only has twice the L3 cache per core.

 

On another side note. Why aren't these available anymore. Let alone so overpriced. They were replaced but they are still fairly useable from what I can tell. Where there not a lot of them made because they were flagship CPUs? I'm assuming they were the better binned chips or something. Are there not a lot of those? Or just not a lot going to gaming/desktop CPUs?

 

And the test should involve actual gameplay tests to see how it works in real life. Not just benchmarks! And if real life side by side comparisons are needed or interesting for real gameplay use duplicate hardware for the GPU/HDD/SSD.

 

FYI, I'm using a 1100t with a 1060 3gb xlr8 overclock gpu and a 1080p monitor. Works good for me. Now if I could get an 1100 gpu it would be funny(Do they make an exactly named 1100gtx?!). Not disappointed with the GPU as I had to buy it during the GPU price problems and it was what was available(I wanted a 580 but missed normal prices by a day. Which doesn't hurt because I needed lower heat specs.). Of course being on linux I don't use games the same way. Maybe a comparison with 1100 cards thrown in to make Nvidia happy to boot. This when those cards actually come out. Maybe they would make you a special one time card called the 1100gtx for the build! ><

 

It might be interesting to see stock(cooler and w/wo OC) vs overclocked(specialty cooler and w/wo OC) performances. I use stock and don't run into issues. But I don't know what I might not be running not running windows games at potential full capacity. Although I don't know if any advantages exist for linux either that might make a difference. I run my games through wine a lot and you never know what it isn't doing. I wonder if a few windows vs linux test are worth it... (Or even possible)

 

Is it useful to get one of those evo 212 coolers at this late stage in the game for an 1100t am3/3+ cpu?! I wonder if it would help. I'm not planning on OCing but I wonder if it would do any good. On a funny side note. I only use arctic silver ceramique for my cpu/gpus because I still have a very old thing of it and I don't plan on getting anything else until I use it all up.

PCIe 3.0 X16 vs X8 vs X4 can they be bottlenecks to current GPUs

 

there is stuff on X16 vs X8 but not much on X4

@LinusTech Here’s something Brandon can review, the new Sony A7 III which can put Canon and Nikon to shame at least according to The Verge article. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/2/26/17056162/sony-a7-iii-camera-price-specs-release-date

Enmotus.

works like PrimoCache and Intel rapid storage from what I managed to learn about them.

[Guest]

Lately I tried to run Ubuntu native on an older MacBook Pro (2013). Expected the worst but was actually quite positively surprised. Although I switched back (mainly the intel gpu could not be detected or switched and the battery life was really bad).

 

But it got me curious. Dell offers the developer edition laptops. Some with Core i7 or even Xeon E3. So I wonder how those officially supported machines compare to Windows on the same hardware regarding performance, battery life and practicality.

Will there be any more Workshop videos just like those that Luke hosted? Like this one : 

I like the format and the answer to everything was: Well, it doesn't really matter.  

 

[BiG StroOnZ]

I currently picked up a "Samsung C27F396 Freesync 27-Inch 1080p" to replace my dying ASUS monitor with dead pixels. So far the monitor is amaze balls, I would like to see it reviewed because I heard it can be overclocked to 72Hz and it also can be overclocked to 1440p but I haven't had a reliable source confirm it yet especially since the only display adapter it accepts is HDMI. 

[Silverflame]

Since you reviewed the self-destructing ORWL PC, I have been thinking that it would be neat to see a review of the Librem phone (https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/)? It is a privacy-focused phone running Linux. I think it would be interesting to see what you guys think of it compared to existing smartphones in terms of user-friendliness, available apps, performance, etc...

[Sinisterface]

how come you guys never review sony phones?

USB type-c PCIe card upgrade with 5.25" bay front IO

 

I want USB-C on my olde 2015 desktop, but all the cards I've found have ports on the back... I wan't them in the front... I've seen some with headers on them, not sure how that works... is that like a shared hub with the rear ports?

 

Regardless, I want two ports on my a front 5.25" bay.

The smart watches, 
The cellular vs Bluetooth, also mention the coverage or lack thereof in different regions, (cellular/esim) not available in many other regions obviously other than fkn US this is been rectified as for Apple only

I know that and that is why I didn't say that I want Luke to host them. I said I wanted videos like those that Luke hosted
