    Looks to be available there, you may want to try using DDU and start fresh. Make sure to uninstall all AMD drivers as well since you had a 570 8GB before this. @Mr. Fox @electrosoft @Rage Set@Papusan Have you guys experienced issues with Freesync panels ? For now I recommend DDU since this desktop used to be running AMD RX 570 8GB.

    You will need to provide way more information @bendella Firstly, Benq EX2780Q is not a g-sync monitor, while the casual consumer may not know this (including myself) g-sync used to be an actual hardware component that was added into various panels. This monitor does not have this, but it is Freesync and it looks to be by the manufacturer stating it does have software validation for G-sync. I believe you already know this but its helpful to provide as much information as possible for onlookers to offer up a better troubleshooting. Can you provide your PC's specifications, cables used, driver version and the GPU you have? Also take a look at the monitors OSD (On-Screen Display) and see if there is a Freesync mode or on/off switch for those items.

    There is currently no announcement for an actual full game release or intent that there is a team behind that type of project. So this seems to be moot argument, ala waste of time. Im ok with being told I am very ignorant, very very ignorant is where I draw the line 🤭 I've been playing CyberPunk 2077 on my laptop, thus far having a grand time running around doing gigs for Regina Jones. I am halfway through the heist now. I really need to get some more liquid metal, seems to have dried up my 1080 just sitting at 90c in game 😕

    There is no basis for those claims and mountains of evidence to the contrary. If it was better than most tech demos it would be a demo. Not being able to see how it could be worse than the non playable tech demo just means you bought into the hype and marketing did its job. This isn't to disparage the game devs, I hope they achieve all that they hope to and in style but that doesn't mean consumer should ignore details either.

    Does nGuard still throw a fit via GPU passthrough to VM scenario?

    I dont mind keeping it here, and if we determine a good way for the thread to appear in both categories then we will pursue that. I do think the types of people that would actually see this thread would do so because its Linux and those that dont are on Windows. From a functional stand point it makes more sense for it to remain here, although I do also agree with wanting to promote Linux in at least to display that gaming is more than possible on its platform. Perhaps we can get some guides going with 0 to gaming on the platforms and distros you guys like to use, the monkey wrench being systems that have optimus only tend to be problematic in Linux, or at least that was my experience in the past. If the moderation team see fit to move the thread into another location then of course I will support that decision so long as the reasoning is provided. I know that Hiew is a heavy proponent of Linux and I've supported it as a spectator but most of my experiences all failed mostly due to custom nature of the laptops I was using. I would like to make Win10 my last windows iteration since it just seems to be more and more of an invasion on what little privacy I have left.

    Essentially the same for me. Though perhaps there just isn't anything right now that would allow me to be fully immersed. For real vr to take place I imagine it would take a room dedicated to do exactly that, stationary track movement, winds, smells, temperature as well as weightless vr visors as well as different tools for item interactions. Gotta start somewhere I suppose.

    I felt that would be the case, just didnt want to put my foot in my mouth right out of the gate lol

    Currently switching servers + DNS propagation hasnt been making progress as it should be. We are aware of the undesired behavior, havent had much time to put toward this but I will coordinate with @Hiew and get some time on the books to look things over.
  10. Reciever
    Oh that will be quite appreciated!

    Its old fashioned but I found somethings are just easier to write down. I have 3 small notebooks, one for logins, one for cart reference / knowledge / mostly CEL codes and how to troubleshoot them / last is general. Which is where my profiles and such get written down. One thing not to forget with the prior Witcher 3 test, your max may not have improved to a noticeable level in gaming but the other to check is how your minimums might have changed? Almost more important in the eyes of some though I imagine it may be preference (like many other things out there!).

    @Aaron44126 come and take a bow my friend, your reputation proceeds you!

    So it turns out im not patient enough to sit on new hardware. Going to finally use the stock heatsink for the 2700x and see if I can put the NH-D15s on the 10850K, I believe it may have the mounting bracket already. If not I'll get it ordered.

    When the lines between home and work are blurred, it tends to lead to less pleasant mental state at home. its an issue I would personally welcome, but due to the nature of my work. Is not possible, I never stopped commuting to work these past few years.

    I arrived at similar conclusions, but started looking at 80mm double width radiators. I never entertained them in the past as an option but it seems every time I build something its always non-standard. I must be a closet eccentric and not know it. I am looking at these for now at least until I make a mock up and play with the idea more. Any meaningful differences between these? HPE-60 and UT60 https://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/radiators/radiators-active/80mm/23804/alphacool-nexxxos-ut60-full-copper-x-flow-80mm-quad-radiator?c=6566 https://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/radiators/radiators-active/80mm/27685/alphacool-nexxxos-hpe-60-full-copper-x-flow-80mm-quad-radiator?c=6566

    The PSU is covered, I have several 750w and 1200w Server PSU's Just have to grab a breakout board for them. Works much better for concealing them underneath or above something 🙂 Bigger problem is finding this fan controller or one of equal standing. That and some other things, I'll try to refrain from taking this off topic, but for now anyone interested in giving some input can direct it to the linked thread below. Just saw your added links, will check them out now 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

    Looks perfect, I may have to look for its successor or something akin to that as it appears to be out of stock everywhere on a quick search

    Im still mining, profits are down but for 150 of power I still get around 650-800, in fact it paid for the bundle. Im mostly in it for the long haul, while it did save me a bit here and there having a nest egg, I'd like to have it pay for my student loans at least in some meaningful chunk of it, so while everyone screams the end is nigh I'll just keep chugging along. My MSI RTX 3080 seemed to have blown a cable, luckily still works but i need to clear the burnt plastic before I put it back to work.
  19. Reciever
    Yeah the only thing on the bundle that I will probably swap out is the RAM, but i assume you got these for benchmarking. I'll see what my kit can do after that but they were purchased with the 2700x in mind, they are 3200Mhz XMP so who knows, time will tell. Im thinking of taking the pedestal-esque approach mostly due to how I want to have it right next to the window, essentially running the room in negative pressure so that I can keep mining through the summer. Also, the starting frame work I have in mind is perfect for it. It will be interesting to be running a watercooled portion of the desktop that I personally use, but keep everything else air cooled. The money will go where it really counts, and I will be primarily using anything I have on hand first before buying more stuff. Just my nature. Do you guys have any good fan controllers that are externally powered in mind?

    I have been looking around a bit today but sadly it looks to be that no one manufactures this type of radiators? I dont have my ear to the ground on this genre anymore like I had maybe 10 years ago, is 2x92mm the best I can find? Thanks in advance EDIT: The reason I ask about 92mm is because I have access to maybe a dozen or more Dell Precision 92mm fans and they move quite a bit of air when maxed, more importantly, they are free lol.

    We already get this when we disable driver signing, now it's there to remind you don't measure up :/
  22. Reciever
    Is that tubing meant to appear frosted? I must admit I kind of like that appearance. I have been having difficulty determining how I am going to build things out after having moved into a new house. I may end up keeping one of the Dell workstations for VM practice and things of that nature. The main issue at hand is not wasting this wonderful opportunity that Mr. Fox has allowed to fall my way. It would be such a waste to have that bundle work only for mining. For now I would like for this to replace my laptop as the daily driver, increase my mining potential, increase my storage for plex and also of course, some gaming! Probably be one of my 5700xt's until I find something more proper like a 6xxx that doesn't do as well for mining. This little project will likely take place before summer is in full swing. Because of what I want to consolidate its not going to to be pretty (because I'm a cheapskate) but it will do what I want it to (hopefully).
  23. Reciever
    It's going to be a little while yet before I have the time to fully engage that little project. Need to make a few more purchases as well since a majority of my parts are from Dell stations which are all proprietary. Once I have everything ill make a bit of a build log and we can have some fun then :) promise!
  24. Reciever
    280mm and 3 slot GPU's ? Sounds like a match made in heaven! Really the main issue I take with my TU150 is the glass window. Purchased it before I knew there was a vented variant.

    I just wanted to leave a little mark of history that seems to be whittling away with time. I never knew Syrillian personally, only by his work. He was quite gifted with tools and acrylic. He had quite a resume of interesting mod projects that used to be hosted over at Overclock.net. From I had seen he seemed to be quite a nice fellow, with a keen sense of creativity. Not to mention, iirc, he was quite jacked! Sadly cancer took what was previously the picture of health and whittled him down until nothing remained. Syrillian had already passed when I learned of who he was, but his effect on me has been long lasting. Syrillian was the catalyst to what little I had contributed in the world of custom modifications, and why I still on occasion dabble in the space. While I wont reach the same heights, its important to pay respect where respect is due. Thanks mate, for what you contributed to your community while you were present, and for the legacy you left behind.
