why does anyone needs an online store installed on his computer when all it does is access webpages on its back end, what's wrong with a user accessing the web store page located anywhere on the web where these pages live anyway? it rationalizes MS forcing firewalls, defender, encryptions and random updates all to protect their store installed on your computer by design from factory, they don't care about anyone's identity they only care that you don't steal from their store they installed on your computer without paying them, its as simple as that, engagement for the soul propose of tracking users habits and predict what they can sell you through their pipeline, pure corporate greed.

we kinda don't have a choice in the matter its dictated by the big players, what choice is left, even after tuning the crap out of latest windows everything is now "app" based which you have to get from the... you guessed it the app store which is conveniently installed and runs on your PC, remove it and a slew of issue rises up, and its not a coincident its deliberate, a corporate baboon decided this many years ago today its jus his deals and collaborations coming to fruition, since windows 7 all these nonsense with security alerts 50 times a day scaring the crap out of normal users is another plot that absolutely makes zero sense but hey MS can exploit people's fear, defender and firewall that do nothing but increase customer engagement that without these alerts wouldn't know or care, and it makes a great reason to encourage people to upgrade, its a win win squeeze monopoly for everyone involved in the commercial end of selling PC's accept the end user.

a mainframe with terminal access is not a new architecture or concept it has been the basis of the industry since the beginning, what was revolutionary is the concept of personal computing as most by now lost the meaning and use a general acronym PC without fully understanding that PC's have long been gone shortly after windows XP. what we have now are Public Computers which also qualifies under the same acronym PC 😄 but technically its a managed computer by microsoft, you buy the hardware and they manage every aspect of the operating system, to see the industry going back to a mainframe architecture is somewhat funny, maybe in few years from now we will finally get back to a real PC as in Personal Computer the way it used to and should be.

i still have somewhere a dual Xeon 700Mhz in a SuperMicro board i custom built over 20 years ago 😉

everyone got spoiled now days, how about any basic 32-64MB integrated will do the trick for email, browsing the web, and watching some videos, as it did for the past decade with zero issues (mostly unless one insists on watching 4k streams), not to mention newer generation of far more capable integrated video chips exist now days, i was doing just fine before with 32mb UHD chip for casual browsing, there's a slew of application beside gaming that benefit from a powerful GPU rendering like physics engines, modeling, AI, and various simulations, all run heavy mathematics calculations that requires sometime ECC and every bit of resources to compute in a reasonable time, these gamer focused marketing campaigns will fade out in the next few years and the lines will become more and more blurred between different category needs nowadays, it used to be only gamers cared or needed these, as we learned from the past few years shortages there is far more business needs for these well beyond gamer community scope,

i like Merrell brand a bit more distinguished then having the same next door neighbors crocs, true story back in the days (04) when Crocs were just entering the US market i was almost hired by them to implement and manage their POS across the states, in a last minute turn of event i turned them down after an offer was made to go work for (no one know at the time myself included) the first social media network that shaped the face of social networking as we know it today,

that's only valid until 3080 stocks run out and shelves are only stocked with 40xx lines, that's why the rush,

hmm... i beleive you can shave around 30% more which in turns should effect your bench results few clicks north, while benching i was running latest Win11 with 47-48 process at idle (and that's on a laptop), this is from right now my current idle which I still consider extremally liberal for none benching, i left few windows gadgets running in the background like weather, spotlight, search, even windows updates is running within that scope, and few standalone executable running continues task (ThrottleStop.exe, TopRight.exe moves incoming alerts back to the top right corner etc., this is not a custom or stripped windows11 image it is off the shelf latest available win11 22H2 build downloaded from MS)

i guesstimated 70-75, thats badass, i assume around 50 at idle?

@Mr. Fox curious to learn how many background process are running for you while you bench?

any of you tried unhiding "away mode" in power policy then setting it to "no" in active policy? https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/108441-add-remove-allow-away-mode-policy-power-options-windows.html

if that's the case its a bogus ECC! they cant be doing software based memory error correction that's laughable calling it ECC, its like having a 4 year old babysit a 3 year old, maybe its an acronym for something else NVidia made up they just call it ECC to be boujie and confusing? I'm sorry I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the rational behind this nonsense from NVidia to be honest,

of curse it will ECC is additional processing layer which defeats the whole premises of running a bench, for other application it is critical when its reliable stability they are after for implementing ECC on a server not for benching bleeding edge performance, lets call a spade a spade the developers made a booboo and the only way to ensure result is to enable ECC so they can get a readout they can reliably analyze, in simple word their bench software cant keep up, is that a fair assumption?

i was under the impression that they want to keep it off or something? so was last gen 3090, how is the 4090 different in its workflow for creators that it needs ECC? also what kind of ECC is that, traditionally there's no ON/OF switch for ECC unless its some software implementation or there's actually two separate memory controllers onboard, if anything i can maybe see this useful for miners but that's pretty much it. this has to be a software based ECC mutant which in my view still makes zero sense and sort of defeats the purpose of a performance bench,

i'm trying to follow this ECC debacle, some basics i am having hard time wrapping my head around, the first is why ECC is on a gpu in the first place? if for whatever justified reason ECC is needed for some gpu scenario why are you guys insisting on keeping it on if the feature is disqualified by bench tools moving forward? in other words why slow down calculation in a bench is that important? what am i missing?

it's similar case with the 4080, smaller die, less VRAM, less everything compared to the 3080,

12950HX @157w (it went even higher i just didn't capture)

though i don't have @Reciever responsibilities and only been here for a short while thus far, i too find @ryan personality amusing and very friendly, i can tell he has a lot to learn, but i think his heart is in the right place, at some point in our early days we were all eager to learn everything yesterday, we had little more time to "get polished" i believe he will matures with time and figure out the lines to adhere sooner than later 😉

well done sir, this shows your patience and generous character, very few admins demonstrate such tolerance, good on you!

these greedy corporate baboons think we are all clueless and blind

@Aaron44126 what do you think the timeframe before these will be available?

looks like the system is playing "whack a mole" with thermal issues, can he repeat this consistently? any undervolt applied there yet? did he try to disable nvidia nvpcf? for these new chip the bin is critical, if the bin is not that good allot of cores will need a stronger signal which translates to more heat generated, I've seen this first hand after loosing faith in 5 bins before i by chance received a good bin that blew me away especially after having hands on experience with 5 before i know immediately this was very different from the rest,

that's nonsense, vocabulary has nothing to do with ones demeanor, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fubotv-watch-live-sports-tv/id905401434

@ryan check this out, the only mobile cpu @Mr. Fox will accept with open arms 😄

i would have to agree, i also wish they didn't make them look like a toy but at that price that's pretty bad ass package,
