Well we’ve seen CAS latency increase almost quicker than DDR speeds. CAMM should address this issue by shortening the distance from cpu to RAM, at least for laptops.

I’d say DIMM has pretty much stranded in DDR5.

What the actual sh*tnuggets

Edit: I did some further research for different sources and can’t seem to find the same article anywhere. I can only find one that says they will use AI to alter hostile tones from call center employees.

That said I recently did a full upgrade because my PSU failed and I was kinda sure it was the motherboard. Waited a bit with the GPU and now I have a 4070 to play rocket league at the same fps as before.

I usually just plug in the power switch and leave the rest.

Fairly certain this is supposed to be a Borderlands 1 movie so Jack will be in the sequel. Mordecai should’ve been in here, so should Brick. But there are loads of missing characters.

Regarding Claptrap: the voice actor from the first three games (counting Pre-Sequel) quit and was replaced in 3 and Wonderlands. But yeah the new guy could’ve been in instead of Jack Black.

Bottom line is this movie is not for the enjoyment of the Borderlands players, it’s more likely it’s made to get people to buy Borderlands 4 (and maybe try the older ones while they’re at it).

I mean Borderlands 1 Roland is pretty different from the guy allergic to smiling we all know from Borderlands 2. I guess Handsome Jack changes comedians into Idris Elba.

I have the ASUS Dual 4070, it was the cheapest ASUS model at the time. And it fit in my mATX case. I gotta say coming off the 1070Ti (which I custom cooled with the NZXT G12 and ASUS LC120) the 4070 is underwhelming. I expected it to be better, particularly in VR.

That said, the 1070Ti got me about 60fps in Borderlands 3 on 1440p with some compromises but now I can just slot everything to ultra and max out refresh rate at 165Hz.

In short, the 4070 is a decent chip. Which one you pick is entirely up to you. The 4070 Super is worth considering since it’s newer, not much more expensive but more bang for buck.

Most current GPUs use PCIe 4.0, some of them x8, but they will still work in PCIe 3.0 x16. It’s a bandwidth thing.

Besides that I’d say take the TDP of the GPU, say it’s 200W, double that and you’ll be fine. Usually they’d say add all of your components’s maximum power, multiply by 2 and that’s your PSU. With current PSUs, they are efficient enough to manage 65-70% at maximum efficiency. Your GPU is the biggest power draw. Say your total system uses 450W and you have a 500W PSU, your PSU will run less efficiently but your system will still work fine.

Another consideration is your current CPU. Your CPU prepares every frame for your GPU to render. If your CPU is a lil older, it may bottleneck your GPU, ie it will have to work too hard to keep your GPU busy.

Your GPU is your most powerful component and every other component influences whether it can reach its maximum potential.

Why even use HDMI when AMD does DisplayPort 2.0 where nvidia only does 1.4?

I’d say nvidia would work fine but you need to take into account that the drivers can be a bit flakey.

I have a 2 out, 4 in usb hub with a button to switch. I press a button and my mouse, keyboard, webcam are available on my other system. I can not use them simultaneously though.

3 of my 4 SSDs are Samsung, the 850 EVO SATA, the 960 pro pcie 3 and the 980 pcie 4. No complaints at all.

We have one big orange neighbour boy who just uses our cat door and eats our cat food. We can him Brian, after the one brain cell.

Look, if JEDEC standardises it (which they did) it’s in everyone’s best interest to apply the standard.

The only thing laptop manufacturers have to gain is selling you a new laptop every for years… Oh.

Jokes aside, the LPDDR soldering has always been a cash grab. With efficient cpus and lack of dedicated gpus I doubt the 4W of RAM is really that much of a battery drain. The only reason you would want a laptop to not be upgradeable is because they don’t want you to use your laptop for more than 4 years.

I’d say quick turns in the laptop market is good for innovation, but it’s absolutely awful for consumers’s wallets and e-waste.

I am all for CAMM.

I’ve suggested password managers to loads of people who’d rather cling to updating their little pocketbooks where it’s impossible to distinguish between certain characters and password versions. The stubbornness of tech illiterates is stunning.

I’m not saying I agree with their policies, I just know about their own way they justify their data hunger

It’s the privacy vs convenience problem. For most people, the convenience is so much more important so when you can just use Google to sign in everywhere, you get rid of your passwords remembering issue (oh my god how many people have blamed me for losing their passwords, I’m an IT guy).

Companies want to maximise profits by ‘knowing’ (ie tracking) their customers so they can tailor their products or services to actual usage. A noble goal? They just want to be more convenient for us.

In the end I guess having an account anywhere and the companies seeing anonimised or aggregated, no personally identifiable records, should not be an issue. But they don’t need to keep track of where I live, what my e-mail adress or phone number is and especially need not now any third party stuff.

It has become a very untrustworthy business just because the companies could do whatever they wanted and now that there is more scrutiny, they just find back alley ways to screw us over.

Read up on Intel QSV. You essentially only need a recent cpu. i3 would do.

I hear good things about the Intel Arc A380. You basically only need it to convert video and the Intel is not too bad at that for not too steep a price

Not yet at least. We are rapidly americanising.

So what you’re saying is America sucks at democracy.
