    4080 Super: New Owners Thread - Share your experience!

    Just brought home from Dallas Microcenter a Windforce V2 with connector facing end. My concern is that it sold as new at full price, but bag inside has been tampered with. Gigabyte security tape torn and stuck back haphazardly. Serial number matches box, so I don't suspect a switcharoo for...

    Portal: Prelude RTX mod now available, free DLC

    Coordin to this dude's video, after 4.35.31, Pascal now can slowly flake like RTX. My driver (not yet latest 536.67) is dated 4/35 and v31.0.15.3179. Is that 4.35.31? I think Steam or Windows forcibly updated, not anything intentionally downloaded. Another source sais 1.1Gigarays for 1080ti...

    Portal: Prelude RTX mod now available, free DLC

    Doesn't offer opportunity to launch without RTX, just crash. Havn't experimented with driver updates lately. Which one to enable soft RTX for Remix with TitanXPascal? Or if I can just get launched far enough to turn RTX off... Is there a config file I can edit outside the game?

    The breeding reactor doesn't aim to make useful power, only mixed fuel. Half the bred fuel will be clean fusing Helium3, the other half dirty Tritium.

    I suspect from plentiful Deuterium, they intend to breed and sell Tritium and He3 if not electricity. Problem with fusing Deuterium to Deuterium is the dirty neutron it throws and the Tritium it often makes. If you fuse Deuterium to He3 which is clean, you also sometimes fuse Deuterium to...
