is there really a need for that exact model of capture card, I wonder? it'd be fun to play with but it's $300 on ebay. Obviously their capture tooling probably won't work out of the box but basically the meaningful feature is being able to extract the color bars. Wonder how well it'd work with an elgato card with the bitrate cranked way up. Wouldn't be raw frames so it might be harder to pick out runt frames vs dropped frames.

Most capture devices typically don't encode the data into a compressed format. The devices that do are becoming more common, but they're still the minority. An Elgato raw capture device would probably work fine. But as they're all HDMI and on the budget side of things, you might be more restricted with frame rate and resolution support than some of the more pricey devices aimed at the broadcast or signage markets, which is where Datapath are focused.

EoRaptor posted:I don’t think FCAT was the first tool. I remember the first reporting I read on it was a tech website that had purchased a capture card capable of real-time DVI capture and noticed the raw data out had very strange properties with seemingly duplicated frames. They did a big investigation into it, and discovered the issue with minimal frame times vs maximum frame times, etc. Nvidia was better than AMD in their testing, but not by as much as in later tests. Nvidia did, however, respond much more directly, producing updates drivers and testing tools very quickly after publication, where AMD did nothing for a long time. Correct.

Yeah. They experienced some serious loving brain-drain with all of the old staff going off to do different things during 2016, All the old articles are still there, so those are still fine, but regard anything 2017 and later with some suspicion.

And Level 1 at 1.5x, otherwise Wendell gets a little marblemouthed at 2x. edit: Oh, and Buildzoid definitely at 2x. His videos are good and informative, and they're worth listening through all of them, but he does get sidetracked with informative stuff.

Does anyone know what happened to that Realtek DP to HDMI 2.1 adapter? It seemed like the perfect transitional technology for people using OLED Gsync to get above 60fps, but I haven't heard poo poo about it since late last year. I'm starting to think there are serious problems with the tech and it won't see the light of day.

I've got a Gigabyte Geforce 2070 super windforce that has one of the fans ramping up and down about once a second. Googling the issue, I found other people in the same boat that recommended setting a custom fan profile so that the GPU fans start at minimum 40% to stop the cutting off all the time. Problem is, they all gloss over what they're using to set custom fan profiles. I can't seem to control them in my BIOS or with the Nvidia settings. Am I missing something obvious or is there a third party program I should be looking for?

There are several programs that can do that but I prefer MSI afterburner.

MSU Afterburner, even if you don't have an MSI card.

There's also EVGA PrecisionX1, which I prefer for its more streamlined interface (make sure to get X1, regular PrecisionX is basically Afterburner with another skin) https://www.evga.com/precisionx1/

Also, you can set the minimum at 30% with those cards, not 40% (anything lower than 30% doesn't run the fan). This is my fan curve (the lower number is a 30):

Cards based on the reference PCB usually work with any tool, it's when you get to the higher end custom boards that compatibility can get iffy.

Yeah, I don't know if it's just a quirk with that specific card or what but even if I just max the fan slider and apply it they don't turn on. repiv posted:Cards based on the reference PCB usually work with any tool, it's when you get to the higher end custom boards that compatibility can get iffy. That is probably the issue then. It's an Asus Dual 1070 which has a custom PCB.

More if all you have is a crappy blower GPU and poor case ventilation. I think around and above 80c is where you start finding large lifetime decreases. and re: the energy conumption, At least it isnt mining crypto. People do tend to underestimate just how much power a computer uses, data centers are now up to 1% of all electricity usage.

They were originally going to announce something at GDC (or is it GTC?), they backed it down to a live stream, then a while ago put out a teaser thing. Kind of looks like foveated rendering plus eye tracking.

I will never understand why nvidia doesn't just put clock/voltage controls in their control panel The driver literally has an API to safely tweak those values, but no interface for it so you have to use a third party tool And the SDK is behind an NDA wall so we have to use the winamp-skin messes their partners put out
