  1. Is licensing holding you back from going EPYC?

    I look at these dual EPYC CPU systems and go... OOooo all of those cores in a single chassis.. but then I start thinking about the cost to license all of those cores and just sigh wistfully. AMD needs to workout some sweetheart licensing deals with Broadcom and Microsoft around their...
  2. So this could be very big...

    I would almost say this is more dangerous than specter/meltdown. https://www.darkreading.com/remote-workforce/connectwise-screenconnect-mass-exploitation-delivers-ransomware
  3. Well my cyberpower CP1500PFCLCD UPS died.

    Just suddenly in the middle of using my computer the non protected stuff I had a monitor plugged into started turning on and off, then the UPS started beeping. Said the power was good App tested said all was well... until it just **** the bed and everything powered off. After a min I...
  4. MS Paint Cocreator

    Welcome to the wild west of AI... or not... So I heard about the co creator thing for MS Paint and thought. That could be fun. I need a drawing for my Shadowrun character. If you're not familiar shadowrun is a cyberpunk meets Fantasy setting. Magic, cybered out street samurai...
  5. A Plague Tale on EGS.

    It's the free game today. Kind of a big one... snag your freebie while you can.
  6. Meteor lake 155H based laptop. MSI Prestige 16 AI

    Solid device feels good in the hands if light. But I'm coming from a i7 6600 based laptop so it's not a apples to apples comparison. First the specs. CPU Meteor lake 155H (second tier to the newest portable ai accelerated CPU's.) Memory 32gb DDR5 at 6400mhz Storage PCIE 4x 1 tb. Screen a...
  7. Need a hand finding a good deal on a laptop

    Next week I'll be replacing my old laptop finally. I've realized I don't really game on my laptop any more. So Gaming isn't a big deal. I've been doing some searching and looking online at various models and price points. Basically I'd like to stay as close to 2k as I can while getting...
  8. Proliferation of Type C ports/devices... yet motherboards/cases are slow to catch up.

    I've noticed more and more devices are going the way of USB C. They most of the time are not full bandwidth devices of course, but it feels like our computers, desktops and laptops, need a boost in the number of full fat type C ports. So to the community I ask... do you see the number of...
  9. Is more FPS better FPS?

    So I've been around a long time in computer gaming. First exposure being playing wing commander on a 286, the discovery of what a sound card could do making a game better... through umpteen iterations of gaming experiences to where we are today with a video card as expensive as a full...
  10. Man AMD is in some trouble.

    AMD year over year net profit down 94%. For the second quarter and rumor is they are shutting down the video card research lab in China. (Why would you do development there... cheap but everything gets stolen. I don't get it. ). Some 3000 people... This is going to be interesting...
  11. 7900xtx vs 4090, AND 7600 vs 4060... In six months.

    I would love to see a 'six months later' series of reviews... or a bigger all in one review.. (harder to monetize vs effort). We all know that vide cards from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia have performance changes as the drivers and features mature. I'd love to see a 6 months later series of...
  12. Just a test to see what game load looks like in power use... Test Starfield, System in signature.

    So my before with normal stuff loaded: Now to load up starfield... So not terrible, this is in Cydoina not the biggest load.
  13. Baulder's Gate Three

    To start, the quick answer as it were. If you enjoy computer based RPG’s, and like games that are deep. Yes you will enjoy Baldur's Gate Three. I dare say you will love this game. I have personally restarted the game at leas 4 times. Just because I wanted to try different classes and types of...
  14. Skull and bones closed beta coming....

    Just got my invite... FYI there is a limited closed beta of Skull and bones coming. Starting 8/24 Pacific. Expect to hear some first impressions with no screenshots.
  15. The Starfield discussion thread.

    Figured I'd put this together because I don't want to derail other threads with just this game discussion... as I think I did in another non related thread. :) For me one of the things I look forward to with Starfield is the embracing of mods. And being able to build your own ships...
  16. Odd event had an single SP reboot in two of my unity 480's both today.

    Two different unity's in the same datacenter both had an SP reboot on them. No downtime no hardware fault. Anyone else see this come up in their environments? Just curious. 7-30-2023.
  17. Assassin's Creed Mirage

    Watched the trailer. Kind of glad it's moving away from hit point sponge back to a more traditional AC experience. Plus the lady they got for the voiceover of the trailer I like so that helps. (Horrid with names so don't recall that.) Ubisoft Connect has some new trailers and preorders...
  18. Running your own local AI.

    I did this in windows largely following the instructions I found here: https://www.howtogeek.com/881317/how-to-run-a-chatgpt-like-ai-on-your-own-pc/ For the last bit when it has you use a command line to download the actual AI engine... or whatever you want to call it. It fails. If you go...
  19. Do we have a spot to discuss AI or should we?

    I've been tinkering with running my own local AI and have succeeded but looking for a place to have discussions on it.... and why I now want 64 gb of ram. lol
  20. Remastered and AI...

    So looking at the plethora of remastered titles coming out... do you think an AI would be able to take existing content... upscale the textures and make in place texture/materials updates to work in an newer engine then do the import and pass along the last 10% to devs to finish? There by...
