    3060 Ti LHR Shipping with Hynix Memory - Further Reduced Performance

    Just a heads up that 3060 Ti LHR models are shipping with Hynix memory as a possible option which appears to further limit performance on Ergo. This is besides the normal LHR effect on Ergo you might run into if you happen to push the card too hard or limit power too much. I decided to gamble...

    Gigabyte 3080 Thermal Pads are Garbage

    I started mining on my Gigabyte 3080 Aorus Master in my off hours recently and noticed the fans would hit 100% almost instantly with memory temps at 110C. Gaming thermals were actually decent, 70% fan speed and ~65C on the core. I checked around and it seemed to be a common complaint with all...

    Rainbow Six Series - Any news?

    Seems like it's been a while since Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was released, and it's still one of my favourite shooters for the 360. In the age of sequels that we live in I find it odd they haven't announced a new Rainbow Six title. Has anyone heard or read anything?

    Do ATI cards whine while folding?

    ATI folding folks, do your 4850/4870's whine while folding like their Nvidia counterparts? I just switched my main PC over to a Silverstone SG-03. The case is about 1/3 wire mesh allowing the whine from my 8800GTS to directly bore to the centre of my skull and I'm not sure if I can handle it...

    Xubuntu 8.04 + VMWARE Server 2 RC1 Issues

    BESL (pad) Mod question
