    Should have bought a 1080 Ti

    3yr warranty. Unless you can verify the date of manufacture before you purchase it, it can still be a gamble on how much time you have left on that warranty. Same as above. I mean, to each his own and all, but I don't see how you can justify still spending $500+ on a card that comes with no...

    Should have bought a 1080 Ti

    A used card also comes with no warranty. Unless you know/trust the source, purchasing used tech can be a gamble. For a better apples-to-apples comparison, look at the prices of new cards. Now we are on a fair playing field. It doesn't make sense to purchase a 1080TI when a 2080TI costs...

    starting to play with 10gb - Mellanox and need help

    Using them with a hypervisor? I'm surprised you didn't opt for an Intel X520-DA2 and just be done with it. I mean, sure Mellanox cards can work very well, but not without a lot of work and not right out of the box.

    Dell Alienware 34" 120hz 21:9 G-Sync monitor $719.99

    Picked me up one Friday. I've been looking at this monitor since it came out. This is the lowest I've ever seen it drop by a large margin.

    How did I miss this!? Crap! Maybe I'll get luck with cyber Monday?

    Alienware AW3418DW Ultrawide 34”, 120hz, IPS, arguably the best 34” G-Sync monitor - $800 at buydig.

    Actually a lot of movies (even those that are streamed) aren't exactly 16:9. Super 35, anamorphic, etc.

    Ebay (BIN): Quad port 10Gb Chelsio card: $50 OBO

    Not necessarily. Just get whatever fiber your SFP+ transceiver uses that you'll be using to plug into this card.

    Something strange is afoot at the Circle K, Ted

    Wow, no one suggested GPO or registry changes? That would have fixed it right up after a reboot. For future reference: gpedit.msc Computer > Admin Templ > Network > Link-Layer Top Disc - Enable LLTDIO (Enable in Domain and Public if your current network connection is ID'd as such) - Enable...

    Moving files between two PC's (Un-networked), the best way?

    Exactly my thinking. There is a reason the two computers are not on the same network. The solution cannot be "connect the two computers to another network in which they see each other." This is a blatant violation of policy. Either deal with the USB drive or run the issue up the chain. It...

    Adventures in setting up a home server (was Want to set up my own DNS for domain, self-hosted)

    Int DNS server should never be the same as the Ext DNS server. Run them on two separate VMs, on two separate networks. Just saying.

    Home Network Security Cocktail

    Yeah, BitDefender. Their new Ultra package is pretty interesting. I'm contemplating using their GravityZone appliance at work.

    1080ti Roller coaster Pricing?

    Not trolling at all. I just have an understanding of economics and can smell when someone is really just trying to milk a product when it really doesn't deserve it. In August (before the 20180ti release, they dropped in price dramatically, and YES they knew what the pricing would be...ish)...

    1080ti Roller coaster Pricing?

    So, in just looking at the historic pricing on an EVGA 1080Ti, can anyone explain why such the huge swings in price? I mean, come on $629 to over $800 back and forth?! I obviously missed my window or I would have definitely purchased a 1080ti at $630 a few months ago. I just find it very...

    Nvidia Nerfing 10-Series With New Drivers?

    I disagree. Turing is a game changer. The only way to advance that R&D is to toss it (Tensor cores) on a product and sell a few hundred thousand. Then, the next series cards will have a very significant hike in performance across the board. Someone has to pay for that tech advancement...
