Ever since the x70Ti cards were released I've always chosen them as they are the best bang for the buck IMO.

Long gone are the days that an overclock could meet or even exceed the performance of a next tier up card. Today you are lucky if you get a >10% performance improvement. That said, the impressive part is that the power and heat didn't go up by much.

raid is NOT backup

There are several in moddb, this is the one I tried. https://www.moddb.com/mods/crysis-enhanced-edition

From what I understand, its only worth it for the Crysis2 remaster and to lesser extend Crysis 3. You are better off using Crysis 1 with mods.

I can say that 98% of the time I have no use for a local account on an enterprise environment. We do have a couple of servers outside the active directory domain, and we use a local account on them But I rarely log into those.

It's not like you CAN'T have a local account at all, just not at initial setup.

And you thought EA was evil...

I skipped the RTX50 series, but I'll keep an eye on the RTX5070Ti Super

In some games, DLSS is better than native 4k if only because TAA sucks, which is weird since DLSS uses a form of TAA for antialiasing, I'm assuming it uses AI also for the AA part hence DLAA.

BTW Matrox released a couple of demos to showcase the Parhelia. Reef Demo and SharkMark. I recall trying the Reef demo some years ago, it didn't run on my GTX1070Ti. I never found a Sharkmark download

The parhelia had a few things going for it. It had tessellation, Fragment AA and triple monitor support. Drivers sucked bigtime and the AA didn't work in many games, also I don't recall any games using tessellation until years later when nvidia brought its own version, few games supported...

Not to say mine is bigger than yours, but our last SQL on premise server has 64cores and 1TB ram. From then on everything goes to the cloud.

apples and oranges my friend, apples and oranges. I think SQLserver would be the worst example. AFAIK SQLserver benefits more from more cores than faster cores.

SQL server is muticore happy, so I don't think it would benefit as much.
