    PrimeGrid Recognition Thread

    You all are definitely doing better than me. The best I've done is found two AP23s. One of the reasons I started running AP27 again (besides running it in the pentathlon last year) is because of the PPD. I have yet to run any GPU project on Primegrid which even comes close to the points AP27...

    Did Drivers Save The Radeon 8500?

    I had a Radeon 8500 and used it for quite a while. Never once had a problem with it and it ran everything I needed it to. I didn't replace it until the GeForce 7600GT. I will say that the Radeon 7500 AIW was actually a faster card in a number of games (a friend of mine had one and he had me...

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    Damage control. Even if the issue isn't Intel's fault Intel will be blamed for it by at least some people which makes for really bad press and damage to the company and brand which goes far beyond the cost of RMAs.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    Her face sure isn't. Based on the changes in her face from the first to the second game it looks like she put on 40+ lbs. And had plastic surgery to make her jaw even bigger.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    The most likely reason the x3d chips were released later is due to yields. The CCDs with the cache tend to be some of the best silicon due to the fact they need to run cooler with much more stringent voltages while still being able to clock relatively high. It takes time to stockpile those...

    Can i smoke in the same room where is pc?

    People have been smoking around computers for decades and it doesn't have any reduction in their ability to work. As I stated, the only thing you might need to do is clean it out more often. Smoke does leave residue and that residue will collect dust easier. Look up pictures of computers which...

    Can i smoke in the same room where is pc?

    No, it's not going to hurt the computer. At worst you'd need to clean the dust out more often.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    In the first game what it looks like is they took the child Aloy head and made it bigger and left it at that. Her face looks like it's still 4 years old with a bunch of baby fat and no maturing. It's been a while since I played the first game but at least in some of the screen shots for the...

    Two years after launch Windows 11 adoption is still waaaay behind Windows 10

    The ones I give a shit about do. And in some cases they run a hell of a lot better than they ever did in Windows.

    Primegrid Challenge series started yesterday

    Since it looks like there's only 5 people on the team running this I'd say we're doing pretty damn good so far.

    Best 360mm AIO Cooler?

    I have no experience with the 360 but I did buy and install the Frozen Edge 240 this past week. I had a little spare cash and needed an upgrade from my air cooler and it cost me $44 with tax. The only semi-recent experience with water cooling was an Enermax 240 AIO I got for practically free...

    Radiator bolts for slim fans?

    This is the exact same thing I've been doing for years. I have yet to not find what I was looking for or at least something else which would work. I also tend to buy extras and a couple other things because I know I'll end up needing it eventually.

    Ubisoft's The Crew is shutting down 31st March 2024 and will be unplayable after that because it is online only.

    I'm no fan of either company but what you describe has nothing to do with feudalism, techno or otherwise. Owning and selling a product on a marketplace is far different than feudalism. Under feudalism Apple and Amazon would own the product made by you and allow you a certain number to sell while...
