  1. Civ6 DX12 v DX11 comparison 2018.

    I initially fell to the same thing. Even though I should know better. I saw the higher numbers and was all "DX12 is giving me higher FPS!" before someone corrected me.
  2. Civ6 DX12 v DX11 comparison 2018.

    The test reports the results in "milliseconds to render frame", not in FPS. which means a lower number is better. If DX12 gives you a "higher result" then DX12 is slower for you and provides worse FPS than DX11 Actual FPS = 1000 / result reported by civ6. for example, here are my results...
  3. Civ6 DX12 v DX11 comparison 2018.

    it is a mixed bag. they added some nice stuff, removed some really annoying features, and added some new really annoying features too. AI is still terminally stupid and the only way it can pose even the slightest challenge is by having it cheat like crazy. Also, the UI sucks and a community UI...
  4. Civ6 DX12 v DX11 comparison 2018.

    This is what I get for posting when both sick and sleep deprived.
  5. Civ6 DX12 v DX11 comparison 2018.

    I had just gotten civ6 from the humble bundle and thought to try it out. When I did it asked me if I want to run "civ 6" or "civ 6 DX12". I was curious to know what the first option actually was (it is DX11 for the curious) so I googled it, and in so doing discovered something interesting. It...
  6. How do I get the full 3TB volume?

    Ensuring that the first (lowest number) SATA port is your OS drive does not actually ensure that it will install there. I quite often had it install the bootloader on, for example, SATA4 when SATA 1 or 0 or was the OS drive
  7. Google Wifi has some really stupid problems

    So, for completion sake. there is apparently a poorly documented method to switch over the router ISP settings. and that is to unplug the main router from all ethernet ports. it will then blink orange and allow you to edit the internet setting via connecting a cellphone to its wifi connection...
  8. Google Wifi has some really stupid problems

    This is just so extremely stupid. lets say you change ISPs. well with a normal router you just swap the modem and maybe login to 192.168.0.1 to change the router settings (DHCP, PPPOE, etc)... Not so with google wifi. Google doesn't believe a web interface is necessary. The only two ways to...
  9. Filename too long issue...

    even better if you actually wear a necromancer costume while doing it
  10. Netflix availability of 1080p content vs mere 720p

    Ok... so I had the idea to just call netflix customer support and ask. The guy there claimed that 100% of their lineup is 1080p already. And that only 4k has limited availability. So that is good to know. edit: well, I managed to find some old shows that are definitely not 1080p... so... who...
  11. Netflix availability of 1080p content vs mere 720p

    I am trying to decide if I should replace my old roku devices (gen 1 and gen 2) that can do 720p with a newer roku express that can do 1080p. (no point in getting the 4k version in 2017) The problem is that I cannot find any hind anywhere of the availability of 1080p content on netflix. I can...
  12. Laptops with quality brand name SSD

    I noticed that all laptops seem to come integrated with "extremely crappy OEM SSD". Is there any company that will let you buy quality brand name SSDs of specific good models, such as the Samsung 960 EVO, or 950 Pro? I know you can buy a laptop with a regular drive and then replace the SSD...
  13. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    A few pages ago I noted that newegg sent me a notice about me getting 30$ for mny GTX980 This seemed rather odd since the issue was with GTX970 not the 980 On Aug 4th I received the following followup email from them
  14. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    paying up after losing a lawsuit is not an admission of guilt they admit to nothing, they lost the lawsuit which means the court found them guilty despite anything they had to say to the contrary
  15. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    got an email from newegg informing me about my gtx980 qualifying for this and saying they will contact me again when they have more specifics to finalize things. Very proactive of newegg to inform me of this ruling and the funds i can get. Have other etailers done the same? I gotta agree with...
  16. New Samsung Magician v4.9.6 pulled...?

    Yes, the hardware encryption is set up via the bios and requires no software. that is acceptable too. personally I just prefer it gone, if i need it i can install it in 15 seconds
  17. New Samsung Magician v4.9.6 pulled...?

    literally every single one of the optimization suggestions made by samsung magician is wrong. note that this is not just my personal opinion, rather it is microsoft's. every one of those optimization suggestions is samsung saying "we know better than Microsoft on how to make a disk operating...
  18. Microsoft Warns Windows 7 Has A Serious Problem

    MS does not have an in house motherboard, literally their entire business model is to sell an operating system for hardware made by 3rd party companies. Your argument could hold some water if this was a hackintosh trying to run apple OS because they actually have approved in house hardware...
  19. I miss the old days of CRT's

    ... ok, so after looking it up some while the initial tech demonstrations which I have seen of quantum dot displays had self lighting cells like OLED (and thus perfect blacks and supreme thinness). the first commercially available TVs coming out in 2016 calling themselves quantum dots are...
  20. I miss the old days of CRT's

    Quantum dot is a physics term. specifically dealing with quantum physics. It is a method of generating light from electricity. It has all the benefits of OLED while being much cheaper, lighter, less power slightly less power consuming, and more reliable. The reason you need quantum dot is...
  21. Microsoft Warns Windows 7 Has A Serious Problem

    Both companies were well aware of the issue and then MS decided it would be a good idea to make this optional update auto install and break systems. Why would they make this change? Sure asus is fail, but MS saw an opportunity to promote windows 10 and they took it.
  22. Microsoft Warns Windows 7 Has A Serious Problem

    blame microsoft, they are the ones refusing to fix this in order to drive win 10 sales
  23. Win7 - "restore previous folder windows at login" problem with networked drives

    I have a problem with win7 option for "restore previous folder windows at login", namely that often when I restart my computer it will take too long to connect to network drives, which will force close all those windows. It will give one error message per window, and once clicked it will close...
  24. Blu-ray disks as Backup

    Huh, I was sure I mentioned it but apparently I didn't. You are correct that stamped discs are very different chemically, and vastly superior (and longer lasting) to anything "writeable"
  25. Blu-ray disks as Backup

    Because they aren't good enough. Your typical write once disk (those who are not specifically archival grade, which are better but still vastly inferior to disks stamped in a factory) is rated to have 10% failure rate after 10 years of PERFECT storage (no light, no contact outside center ring...
  26. Blu-ray disks as Backup

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc_recordable#BD-R_LTH_.28low_to_high.29 TL:DR version: it lets manufacturers reuse older manufacturing equipment to produce lower quality blu ray disks.
  27. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    This is false, people have been hitting it. This is in fact how nvidia's duplicity was discovered in the first place
  28. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    The issue is that people have no choice. Its "battered wife of the last man on earth" syndrome. You have literally only 2 choices, nvidia and AMD. And AMD is hilariously behind in terms of product quality as well as having a ton of their own issues and their own history of abuses.
  29. Need help please for GPU upgrade path.

    listen to russian, he gave out good advice here BTW, I remember hearing somewhere that CF/SLI wastes some extra vram and that you need more to compensate. Is that true?
  30. old pc, when to upgrade gpu ? (this year)

    Overall very good post analyzing all the bizzaro things with this thread. But one thing that you missed is that he also said it is an old PC, meaning old CPU. So in addition to your suggestions about how he should upgrade his video cards, he should also upgrade his CPU.
  31. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    but the car is just as shiny and beautiful as it was before! ok getting serious now. Actually it doesn't perform exactly as fast as advertised. Since there are several percent drop of performance compared to the 980 when going above 3.5 GB of vram. nvidia admits its there, but claims its...
  32. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    nvidia drivers are a huge selling point in their favor
  33. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    I stopped using newegg years ago. they used to have amazing service and amazing prices. They switched to milking their brand name years ago
  34. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    Except it is worth significantly less money if you resell it, or pawn it, or melt it down for the gold. Furthermore, the materials from which jewelry is made is a huge part of its appeal, as can be seen by the whole diamond industry where objectively inferior natural diamonds cost massively...
  35. Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    This is really clear cut. If you buy 24 caret gold jewelery and later find out that the seller knowingly lied about it and its actually 22 caret gold, and the seller KNEW and lied anyways, then you are entitled to compensation no matter how beautiful the artwork is. Would I still recommend...
  36. GTX980 Reference cooler vs custom multi fans?

    I noticed that most GTX980 available have a custom multi fan cooler instead of the reference one (well, its not just the GTX980, been around for a while, but I am looking to get a 980 now) Are those custom fans actually any good? Do they blow air out the case or down into it? (that could be a...
  37. Cryptocoin Mining?

    I am going to say that this is a rather naive and wishful sentiment
  38. Cryptocoin Mining?

    DOGE is an obvious pump and dump, but its fanatics won't hear it... so why bother fighting them over it. its their money to bet
  39. Can a browser use a different DNS than the rest of the PC?

    all the portals I have encountered worked via DNS spoofing. Setting your DNS to any alternative DNS prevents it from reaching the captive portal. This is why I asked the question to begin with, if I do not willingly fall into the dns spoof I cannot reach the portal and cannot authenticate it...
  40. New to NAS--Good place to start?

    you mean there are EXCEPTIONS? its almost like I explicitly said so! I am going to have to disagree with you about ZFS raid5/6 performance though.
