Fiber, ISP already replaced the modem, I live in an apartment building and AFIAK the problem is general, it started about a month ago when there was an car accident and a pole went down. So no internet for about a day till they fixed it. Soon after that, intermittence.

So, I've been having cuts in the internet service. Like 2 or 3 times a day, they are usually short, like 1 minute tops, but sometimes longer like 20 min. Is there a free tool to monitor my internet connection so I can show it to my ISP?

I also think it's a driver update issue, thing is the last time it happened, I checked the driver version, I reinstalled the driver from windows update and the version was the same.

Really? Ever heard of Duke Nukem Forever? :):D AFAIK Matrox cards are based on AMD chips. I recall reading that somewhere.

I would think so but reinstalling the driver either from windows update or intel fixes the problem. It doesn't happen right after installing windows updates, unless they are being installed automatically and I miss it.

Back when DLSS came out, I said native rendering was dead. While DLSS wasn't really good, it showed promise. DLSS 2 set the bar and even now its the one to beat by competitors. Now everyone and their granma are jumping on the bandwagon. Nowadays I will always use DLSS on supported games, in...

gotta say I like the design, but if I was going for a RTX5080; I see no reason to get this over a RTX5080FE.

yup it was a flop, I think it was the last matrox card aimed at gaming. It was the mother of multimonitor gaming. which actually was the route Matrox took. with cards aimed at video walls mutimonitor cards

There was that, but AFAIK the technology they acquired from Gigapixel, was too little too late. So they didn't have the chance to implement the technology in 3dfx designs. Funny thing, by the time nvidia acquired 3dfx technologies they were already behind so much that nvidia didn't use any of...

It was Bitboys Oy and Gigapixel I recall they were both supposed to take the graphics market by storm and obliterate everything else. None of them delivered Bitboys ended up with AMD and Gigapixel was aquired by 3dfx. In 3dfx case, its argued that buying Gigapixel was a bad move and contributed...

Does anyone remember a tech startup that was supposed to take over the big three? 3dfx, ATI (now AMD) and nvidia back in the 90s? They ended up being vaporware, never releasing a working product. Can't remember the name. Actually, I think there were 2 startups.

nice

I miss Anandtech more than I'll ever miss [H}, anand's in depth tech articles were industry leading. [H} content while it had its own spin, it wasn't as in depth nor technical compared to Anand (and that's fine, it wasn't its focus) What I remember [H] for is Kyle picking a fight anytime with...

It's happening again, it's been a while., a coworker reported me the same issue on another identical laptop. Reinstalling the drivers, problem solved.

A more "realistic" expectation is taking say a mobile RTX 5000. Sure, you could fit a mobile RTX5090 in a console for desktop level RTX 4090 performance, but it would be too d*mn expensive.

Actually, depending on how low you go, performance difference is minimal, that's why undervolting is becoming very popular. But even if you undervolt power will rise automatically depending on load. So power draw will still be high, just not htat high.

If I'm not mistaken, so far, there hasn't been a console that beats the prior gen top of the line GPU. Not saying it can't happen, but odds are against it. Even taking the current 9070XT and "shrinking" it to fit an APU would be a monumental task.

So, AMD couldn't make a 9000 series card to compete with the RTX4090, but suddenly they can build an APU that can match it?

Well, if the RTX5070 performs like a RTX4090, clearly the Xbox custom APU could to it too, right?... right? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
