I pray everyday for the death of expansion cards via utilization of thunderbolt everywhere external gpus will be the only gpus, besides the ones that come integrated with your motherboard or cpu chipset does anyone still get dedicated sound cards? creative labs still sells PCIe sound blaster cards...

welcome to the future, same as the past htc vive requires three cables to connect just the vr, not including the controllers - hdmi, power and usb I think you can get away with just one thunderbolt cable if you redid everything, so there's a spot of improvement. At least we'll get away from the "no mom, that's the serial port, you want the blue vga port with three rows" support calls

i figured the dell out, numlock toggles what the buttons do when fn is pressed, so i think i was doing the right stuff earlier but numlock was off so i was moving the arrow keys in a empty url bar or text file or something

ok so a nvidia gtx 1080 ti 4gb is a good price and approx 20% faster than what i got and twice as much ram and maybe can recover half the $250 ish price with sale of old vidya card so kinda a no brainer coz blender/cycles cant render envirnonment textures or do volume stuff on OPEN cl and only on cuda so need nvidia for that lame as gently caress i know but who cares

LOL don't get a 1080 if it's only gonna have 4GB RAM. get one with 6 or 8 GB. or just get a 1050 or a 1060.

echinopsis posted:why. like tell me why thats a bad thing because getting nVidia's top of the line GPU but only 4GB RAM seems like a waste. like, seems you would be hobbling its performance with only 4GB if you wanted to be able to run games maxed out. super high end games are starting to be able to utilize it all. and if you're not gonna run high end games maxed out at high resolutions, why get a 1080? a 1060 with 6GB RAM seems like it'd be better value and performance for your money than a 1080 with 4GB.

Consumers have access to top of the line server hardware from just a few years ago at very low prices. You can get an itanium server off ebay for like $150 and run your choice of BSD 10 or CentOS 4 for example.

my main incentive for new video card is CUDA and renders, idk how memory fits into permformaxnc there also don't really play AAAs

more stuff in vram = faster GPU accelerated offline renders is probably less dependent on it, but more vram = better is still true. Doc Block fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Jun 28, 2017 |

Doc Block posted:more stuff in vram = faster yeah i believe that but word is that for rendering scenes like i'm talking about its all or nothing, if the scene can't fit in gpu it can't render at all, and if it can, well, it can and that's not been an issue so far with 2gb
