Same for me. I am glad they are keeping the content up for posterity and the forums will continue to operate, but it definitely feels like part of the long march to a lower quality internet.
I have some time to do some testing this weekend. One of my tests is going to be setting the router into AP mode and connecting a single device to it so it is basically a wireless bridge directly to WAN.
I’m using my own router, I’m actually not sure about the modem hardware, I live in a condo building and have Ethernet directly into my unit which is connected to fiber (probably in a networking closet somewhere).
Correct on the VPN connection, but doing it at the router seems like an excellent...
All three routers ha all of the “fun” Firewall/AV/DPI/QoS stuff turned off, but even if they were the cause, they should be causing it on the wired connections as well.
I am willing to believe even two products from the same vendor have a problem, but I am struggling with the idea that three...
I am experiencing the strangest internet performance issues that I have ever encountered and could use some additional ideas for how to test and narrow down the problem. The setup:
1gbps symmetric internet connection
802.11ax router
One wired linux server which provides DNS for the network
One...
Anyone that has a 3800x willing to run a little experiment for me? Can you set the TTP (total socket power) to 88 watts and a do a cinebench run? I'm curious how it compares to a 3700x.
I don't think I have heard it - at idle the system (sitting on top of my desk ~2 feet from me) is essentially silent, doing anything more intensive means the cpu/case/gpu fans have spun up and are louder than it must be.
Finished my first build in quite some time this week:
3700x w/Noctua NH-L9a
32gb of 3200C16 RAM (E Die, may try and drive this to 3600 at some point)
X570 I AORUS PRO
MSI 2060 Super Ventus OC
DAN A4 (7.2l micro case)
I'm not really chasing the absolute maximum from the CPU in such a small case...
I don't really understand why this whole thing has been confusing - AMD offered a rebate to retailers so they'd sell the cards at the target price instead of gouging. AMD only offered so many of these rebates because it probably cost them a good chunk of change and they ran out of the launch...
While it is definitely important to move forward with new game dev APIs and such, the end goal is always for the gamers to get better looking video games, and I'd argue that games are continually improving right now even using the old APIs due to the additional performance afforded them with...
It seems like AMD expected that their architecture would be the primary target for games after winning the console business, which is a pretty good strategic bet, but they ended up flat out wrong. Mantle/Vulkan and DX12 have not made nearly the dent they had hoped in the amount of time they...
Why is this confusing? Every step of the process isn't handled by the GPU, portions are still done by drivers which run on the CPU. If the GPU is doing more it is because the drivers (running on the CPU) are sending more instructions.
As a purchaser benchmarks need to fundamentally answer two questions:
Does the product being benchmarked fit my needs?
How does the product compare to competitors which may also fit my needs?
I really think #2 is such an obsession for hardware fanboys, which drive views/clicks, that we lose a...
