Also you can install 18.5.1 drivers over the top of 17.x but not the control panel. AMD never officially supported server but it’s pretty damn obnoxious that since 18.x they don’t even let you install “at your own risk”.
I don't even know! I barely use them as well. Like once a year, max. I just try to use them and they don't work. I suspect it's mostly simple stuff like snapped belts, but I don't care enough to actually try fixing any of them.
Spent $40 on a 750Ti so at least I didn't spend a whole lot of money for the ability to do what I want with my hardware
After 4 days of no internet and too many angry calls with my current ISP, I've finally got internet! Bad news is that during the 4 days I had no internet access Twitter decided to rape my bot with rate limits and suddenly limit the "15 POST requests a hour" to "10 POST requests a day" on a bot posting a picture of a possum every hour. Also the support article in the response that the account is rate limited is 404'd. 10/10 Another good news is that I will go from shitty 5mbps adsl to 500mbps coaxial internet on wednesday.
Saw a pastebin from Aussie earlier today where the ADSL modem negotiated 508Kbps downstream, 440Kbps upstream. Fuck Internet connectivity in general nowadays.
like a week ago. I'll be on all night if you want to toss me a message on there and I'll get you the key. I may be in various states of drunken stupor so hurry before it's too late and you have to wait until tomorrow
I recently got a hold of some XP era Lenovo M57's, currently trying to get XP installed and working properly so I can do some kinda-retro gaming (mid 2000s games that I grew up with). Only problem is the audio drivers aren't working for some reason, not sure why. The drivers from lenovo don't work lol. Other than that though the games play great! Actually, if I were to install windows 10 or something and run XP in a VM could that get around the driver problems? Are there any other benefits to doing that?
General question, are DRAMless SSD's as scary now as they used to be? Microcenter has their house brand at $140 for 1TB these days and I could use a larger drive to dump games onto.
When you say you're using Lenovo's drivers, do you mean you got them from here? The closest thing I can see are drivers for an M55, but it should work if they both use the same sound hardware. That computer would struggle to run a virtual machine, at least with stock specs, but it's not impossible. It'll just be really, really slow :u
The drivers I got were from here, I'll check out that link too. I was also thinking of trying installing Vista or 7 and see how the games work. Some of the games I want to play don't work on 10 or there's weird graphical errors. And that's true about the performance, maybe it would work on my actual gaming rig. I'll have to do some research into that, I don't know anything about VMs lol
They're still the budget, low-performance models, but they're not scary, super-unreliable crap. For that price, I'd go for it.
DRAMless drives should still be fine. I'd trust them for what they're marketed for.
Sounds good, thanks!
oh windows task scheduler i guess only sometimes you don't start up properly on updates. I have had double services running for a few things, namely nginx and php... webserver doesn't even work anymore lol
EXIF data is a lot larger than I thought it was. I needed to share 488 photos with some friends. They're all 4320*3240px, straight from my camera, totalling up to 3GB. I wondered how many megabytes I could save first by just removing EXIF data, so I purged all of it. The EXIF data was 2GB. The images only took up 1GB. Holy shit.
I bought a $6 multimeter from Harbor Freight. The motherboard inside physically snapped in half when I put the leads in.
I've had this shit Radioshack multimeter for maybe 14 years on the same batteries it came with and it works perfect. I even bought a voltage reference module and it was dead on accurate to as many digits as it had.
I got a 4k monitor so decided to upgrade my graphics card from a R9 290 to a Vega 56 only to find out while it can decode x265 it can't decode/accelerate VP9. Meaning youtube at 4k (esp 60 fps and hdr content) played like garbage. Real disappointing.
It shouldn't play like garbage. Vega also has a "hybrid" VP9 decode, so it's not totally CPU dependent. For HDR, only the 1080 Ti / Titan series has VP9 10bit/12bit decode support.
It's garbage. It maxes out my i5-2600k overclocked to 4Ghz and stutters like crazy. HDR content aside, regular 4k @ 60FPS is still garbage. 4k @ 30FPS - some videos play fine, others don't. CPU still pegged. I've already returned the card and ordered new parts since every store in america is out of stock of the 2080 ti. The only way to get it is to overpay on amazon or order a prebuilt system that includes one.
Your GPU isn't your problem.
The CPU doesn't have a built in iGPU for hardware decoding so it needs a GPU that can do it. I get playable FPS in modern games at 4k even though the CPU is the bottleneck.
I've heard you can occasionally find analog VOMs at places like Harbor Freight, they're really good for quick dirty hacks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8KGatsPTNo
Chrome to my knowledge has flaky VP9 hardware decode support anyway. On my Vega I can play 4K@60 (non-HDR) in chrome fine, though it does eat CPU. Vega: Playing back VP9@60+HDR with GPU-high on MPV: https://s.gvid.me/s/2018/10/28/FXR817.webm Playing back HEVC@23.976+HDR with GPU-high on MPV: https://s.gvid.me/s/2018/10/28/3Nj585.webm Playing back HEVC@23.976+BT.709(SDR) with GPU-high on MPV, and then AVC: https://s.gvid.me/s/2018/10/28/onY656.webm In conclusion, 4K video is fucking hard, and even if you have video decoding it's not a magic bullet for zero CPU usage.
Correct and incorrect. 2500k has the Intel HD 3000. Intel HD doesn’t have VP9 support though. Need Broadwell(barely)or Skylake and newer to get it and the igpu has to be enabled.
That's weird, my 3570k can do 4k30 or 1440p60 no problem, and even 4k60 just barely with occasional dropped frame here and there when overclocked to 4.5. For what it's worth, Firefox's VP9 decoder seems a little easier on the CPU than Chrome's, so it tends to chew through those high resolution videos more easily. Still, if you want to reach 4k60, you'll either have to OC the shit out of your CPU or enable hardware decoding.
It's also using 50% of your CPU, coming out to 100% of 6 threads. Vegas hybrid decoding sucks.
getting flashbacks to the time in circuits lab where our professor made us use huge af VOMs
I picked up a VOM for like 6 bucks from Lowes once. I lost one of the probes when I moved.
Check updated results, I accidentally disabled d3d11va decoding in MPV, so all results were invalid (Also FFMPEG was running, and that artificially boosted the CPU usage by 30%). Basically, HW: VP9 4K HDR@60 is going to require a bit more CPU power, VP9 4K HDR@24/23.976 should play on basically anything modern.
