    Nvidia pulls in some $18.1B up from $5.93B this time last year...

    As long as they go Farnsworth, I don't object: Wernstrum's don't hold a candle, I'm forced to side with the housewives on this one. Sorry, first thing that came to mind on the topic. Jokes aside... like all AI, it sounds great on paper, the technology is flaunted as flawless... until it is...

    Nvidia pulls in some $18.1B up from $5.93B this time last year...

    I do agree with most of your post I snipped in my quote, but the portion I quoted is my true fear. Blind trust in AI's output/its conclusion that it draws. The leap that occurs where there is no trained human involved in the decision making process prior to action being taken. Keyword being...

    Forcing 16x card to 4x speed

    Subject matter jokes aside (I won't make any, I've had similar requests from my Marketing dept at work), my mind immediately goes 3 places: 1) Where is your current bottleneck? Is it the NVMe write speed and your 4090 is underutilized (I'm assuming Topaz AI is CUDA accelerated?) 2) Like...

    Speaker and Headphone Rigs Picture Thread

    Not going to lie, that is much more my speed! I might consider getting on their backorder list if this giy is all he rage. I haven't done much SW review research for my smaller application TBH. My office is only 10'x12'.

    Speaker and Headphone Rigs Picture Thread

    Thank you! As far as the budget for the SW... you'd have to ask my wife, lol. I gotta lay low for a bit here on the audio goodies (we did a complete 5.1 Paradigm/Denon setup in the living room ~18-24 months ago or so, and now the ES20's/stands....), but once the dust settles I'd venture to say...

    Speaker and Headphone Rigs Picture Thread

    Recently picked up a pair of Polk ES20's and ISOAccounstics ISO-200 (large) speaker stands to replace my old Advent Baby II's. My PC's 2.1 audio setup is almost complete (ha, I know)... Only thing still left is I'd like a smaller, punchier sub, this F12 is absolutely overkill for my office. It...

    Desk ideas?

    If you're wanted to go with something a bit more traditional looking that does have drawers and storage, I'd check your menards/home depot or w/e for returned base cabinets like you'd find in your kitchen. Cut the toe-kick off of them and they're right at the perfect height. Paint or stain them...

    Dead Space remake (2023)

    Yep, Dead Space virgin here :D Honestly not sure how I missed this title back in the day honestly, it had to be because I wasn't really into TPS's, only FPS's. Even now in my 30's I was still skeptical going in on "how can a TPS be scary". I got my answer!

    Dead Space remake (2023)

    I'll throw this out there for anyone else interested in picking this up on sale, I'm loving this game so far 6 hours in, I feel I'm minutes way from chapter 3 (im playing slow most likely, really taking everything in and scouring the areas for logs). My rig and monitor are in my sig, and fully...

    Dead Space remake (2023)

    Hey guys, curious, DS 2023 is on sale right now for 35 bucks on steam as part of the halloween sale. Hold or wait for a higher percentage off? It's been on my wishlist since January and since finishing RE8, I've been feeling the pull of a good horror game with amazing audio.

    Intel Core i9-14900K Review - Reaching for the Performance Crown

    It's always the first place I go for review articles when new hardware drops, some of the former [H] reviewers moved over there (Dan, Brent, Paul, etc.). Any chance I get to give them clicks/link to them on here, I do.

    Two years after launch Windows 11 adoption is still waaaay behind Windows 10

    I'm divided on Win11/Win10 (Home vs Work respectively) on my primary 2 devices and my main 3 gripes about Win11 are of course the telemetry (how much more deader can we beat this horse... and don't take this as I'm fine with it, but man, some of you guys write novels on it every OS-related...

    Let the incompatible memory standard war begin. LPCAMM vs CAMM

    We're a Dell shop and have a fair amount of 5670/80's (top dog 15" Precision models, I hope I got the model right from memory) out in the environment right now with CAMM configurations. With some of our more specialized BU's we rely on being able to up the RAM and such down the road for Ansys...
