So maybe my Google fu is off, but is AMD planning on releasing Vega/ryzen packs? I thought I'd heard they were but can't find anything.
I'm also wondering if google.iq is part of the problem but I doubt it
[editline]19th August 2017[/editline]
that's not an Iraqi flag
[QUOTE=helifreak;52588833]Still have no pricing on vega 56 but vega 64 are $899 (single shop with it at $729 but that's never going to be in stock) here without the monitor or cpu discounts.
GTX 1080s start at $699 (and are in stock) with half the power draw and non reference designs.
What is the point of RX vega at this point? Performance is worse than pascal, uses fuck loads of power, doesn't even cost less.[/QUOTE]
Compute per $.
Assuming original MSRP (USD$499) of RX Vega, it provides 10.2-12.7 TFLOPs of fp32 compute, the GTX 1080 has 8.2-8.9 TFLOPs, at MSRP of $499, and the same story can be seen with the 1080 Ti:
RX Vega: ~$43.58/TFLOP
RX Vega Liquid: ~$55.48/TFLOP
GTX 1080: ~$58.36/TFLOP
GTX 1080 Ti: ~$63.84/TFLOP
For perf-per-watt, on pure TDP numbers the 1080 comes out 22% more efficient, which is certainly something you have to consider for TCO, but likely is down to AMD pushing GCN with higher wattage than they really need to.
I feel like shit. I just found out that my PC wasn't as clean as i thought when i found this crap in the Data Usage:

Lesson learned: don't get cocky and remember to use MBAM periodically.
Decided to take apart the old Pentium 4 desktop (from around 2005-2006? it says on the front "Comes with XP but Vista compatible") laying around in my closet.

Has the old IDE ribbon cable to the DVD drive and 56K PCI modem and all. :v:
Although it does have a Seagate 250GB SATA1 HDD, DVD writer, and Gigabit Ethernet, which are pretty good for its time IMO.
Might swap out the CPU, mobo, RAM, HDD, and video card to build something like a server out of it since it has 4 3.5-inch drive bays. Oh, and the PSU too since it is not just old but also severely underpowered (130W, holy shit).
Are USB type C cards any good or a bit finicky ?

What do you mean? They need a port to plug into and a driver for the OS, they are like any other extension card.

I bought a Cheap USB 3.0 4-port card back when all I had was USB2. (10 in the back and 6 up front :v: )
It was pretty finicky, but it was a no-name part so there's probably good ones out there
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52590185]What do you mean? They need a port to plug into and a driver for the OS, they are like any other extension card.[/QUOTE]Well with card readers, some of them take like 5 tries before anything comes up and some of them work first try. I was wondering if USB3.1 cards with type-c connectors have any issues similar to that, having to replug 5 times before they work. I'm thinking about getting type-c and the rest of my PC is perfectly fine.
Well that's embarrassing, Cisco was all about stability wasn't it?
Just noticed that my 2921 rebooted itself when I was at work after just over 7 weeks of uptime.
[CODE]R0 uptime is 4 hours, 43 minutes

Maybe an isolated case as I have it for around 8-9 weeks now, and upgraded IOS so I guess I'll see what happens later through the years.

Too bad you can't farm that shit anymore. Back in the day I got tons of Amazon cards through that.

Sounds to me like you didn't install a driver or something. This is heavily dependent on manufacturer and if they have their drivers on windows update. Since you only install drivers once, it shouldn't really matter anyway.

I mean, even just based on reviews, people seem to like this one better:

the quality assurance difference between a fucking PCIe card and a shitty sd card reader you bought at poundland is pretty big

What a shame :( still, shall be using Bing for a bit and seeing what I can get with it. They pretty much return identical results these days no?
[QUOTE=01271;52585327]I just found out that the company uses POST to send the price of an order from the users' computer to the payment processor.
I was told that it's ok because we check invoices at the end of the day.
O.K... I guess?[/QUOTE]
That sounds pretty sane...
oh wait, post as in mail post? :suicide:
[QUOTE=garychencool;52589721]It doesn't have a SD card slot, if that matters to you.[/QUOTE]
XPS 15 does come with a SD card slot, what are you talking about?
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;52591256]XPS 15 does come with a SD card slot, what are you talking about?[/QUOTE]
I think he was saying the Blade Stealth. Also if i buy the XPS 15 through Dell Business it takes like 2 weeks to ship. If I buy it from Home it ships monday. I think I'll do Home LUL
[editline]19th August 2017[/editline]
Also more dumb stuff, switching to windows 10 Pro would cost 50 more but also estimated to ship days later. I'll just put pro on myself for free.
Dad's laptop had the keyboard die on the mobo side and now the USB ports went too.
What to do with it now? Seems to be pretty much a goner.

You could part it out I guess, but yeah, I'd say it's time for that poor laptop.

You could just resolder some new USB ports onto it, but if it's been in use long enough to have the keyboard and USBs die then it's usually only marginally useful anyway.

Comes tuesday. i7 7700HQ, 512GB NVME, 16GB Ram, 3yr warranty with 3yr accident. Paid a bunch extra for the warranty. But I can write it off on my taxes easily since it will mainly be my remote editing and support computer. Oh and 1080p display because... $400 for 4k on a 15" screen is NOT worth it to me.
I really wish you could get prosupport for the XPS

You can if you buy through Dell Business which is what I originally was going to do.

Didn't realize that. Still split on what I want. Our Dell rep brought by a 7, 5, 3, and tablet series latitude along with an xps 13 for us to play with and it just made the decision harder.

I would have done business except it would take 2 weeks to ship supposedly. I should have this by tuesday plenty of time for my trip

Which is why I went with 1080p. 4k would be a luxury if screen scaling was reliable.
