Video Card Anti-aliasing -- can a video card smooth out the pixels on old sims?

In theory something like this wrapper would allow for it to work nicely, but it's incomplete (although reports are it might work a little bit with JFA -- worth a shot at least). Given that's JFA is a native DX5 title I doubt anything modern AA forcing would work, although maybe FXAA or something...

Name your favorite desktop x86 cpus

My Celeron 300A was still running (at 450 Mhz) as of a couple weeks ago. Amazing chip for its day.

GTX 970/980 owners thread

My 970 SSC had no coil whine, but my 970 FTW was very noticeably whining right away. It may have gotten better over the last few days, and with the case sealed up I can't hear it over the fans anyway. I need to work on better airflow at the moment as the two cards get rather noisy and I'm not a...

Bent CPU pins.

That what I used years ago when I bent some pins on my (IIRC) Duron 700.

Cryptocoin Mining?

If you're still in the black, sell everything now and sit this one out. You can always buy back in later but it doesn't look good in the near future.

Cryptocoin Mining?

I'm going to mine until my next payout with scryptguild and then call it a day. At that point it will almost have been 6 days since the last payout -- twice as long as usual (scryptguild was amazingly consistent for me compared to middle/clever/waffle). Even with my low electricity costs it's...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Didn't Doge also had a very good launch by most standards? No pre-mine/IPO, pools ready, wallets stable, silly humor, etc. ? Also, to some degree I think the large block rewards made it more "fun". It was cool in the early going to get 10's and 100's of thousands of DOGE compared to other altcoins.

Cryptocoin Mining?

Everything sucks lately and average profitability is down around 50% in the last month. Take a look at the profit graph on Clevermining as an example of what profit pools face now: LTC is 40% lower, and the scrypt-altcoin mess has dropped 60%.

Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV

That's appears to be close to 5 slots, based on the dimensions of the DVI port.

Cryptocoin Mining?

Since mid November (the last big spike): -BTC difficulty is up ~6x -BTC total network hash rate up ~10x (!!!!) -LTC difficulty is up ~4x -LTC total network hash rate up ~4x Despite all the alt-coins in the interim, that's a massive amount of hashing power to drive the difficulty up so...

Cryptocoin Mining?

It's not clear how much viability is left with the profit-switching scrypt pools. Wafflepool, Clevermining, and Middlecoin are all essentially trending right with LTC lately (sometimes worse, sometimes better). If there was a variant of cgminer which could switch hashing algorithms when...

Wow, people are falling for this? Convince enough suckers to pay in, and you make 20%.

Cryptocoin Mining?

I use Electrum for BTC (because of the block chain), and official clients for everything else.

Cryptocoin Mining?

He was pulling 9-10 BTC per day for a while there. If he can cash out cleanly it's a nice chunk of change.
