A single Titan X will struggle to get 144fps in games with everything maxed out. OG Titan probably wouldn't be able to keep up unless you start turning AA down.

Yeah it either peels or rubs off. Like xorbe said, a lot of people will use it to black out emblems on their car or as a cheap way to get non-permanent black rims. Some people paint their entire car with it, but it's hard to get even coverage and it takes a few hundred dollars worth of coats...

Just finished plastidipping the bezel of my monitor now as well as the base. Good bye piano black. Here's after I wiped the dust and fingerprints off the bezel and used a few sheets of printer paper taped together (I would recommend 2 layers of paper so the aerosol won't lift the sheets up)...

Hit my base with 2 coats of plastidip. Takes a nice edge off the mirror finish it is by default. I have an incandescent light behind my monitor to provide backlighting, and without the plastidip I could see the filament. Now it's just a light blob: I could probably plastidip the bezel too...

Bump to add my AIDA64 memory benchmark skyrockets with higher cache multiplier (write speed in particular went from 47GB/s to 67.5GB/s with a 3Ghz -> 4.25Ghz cache frequency bump). So at least on X99 with DDR4 it's a big deal. Across the board my 2666Mhz @ 43x multiplier ram outbenches even...

I need to plastidip the base of the monitor. The high gloss shit is pissing me off. Maybe see about spraying the bezel too while I'm at it.

Yes. No dead pixels, dust-speckle sized smudge in bottom left corner. Unless you keep your screen perfectly clean 24/7 then you won't notice it. I swear the panel feels loose from the frame in the corner too. Overall if it were a regular monitor @ $800, I'd be pissed. Given gsync IPS 144 hz...

My methodology is to go straight to high voltages first, set a clock, and then dial voltages back down until that clock speed isn't stable or temperatures are out of control. For my testing I was running P95 small FFTs since thats as brutal as it can get for these things. I also set all the...

Correct. Sorry to blueball you though :) Although lutjens now has my interest piqued on the quality of the W series Xeons. This experiment would be a fun repeat for those chips, but they're so damn expensive and hard to acquire. Too bad I don't work for Asus or similar...those guys probably...

Generic scatterplot is a happy scatterplot. I purposely want to keep it fuzzy because the point of this thread's exercise was to test a theory of whether it would be possible to go to a store, look at a bunch of chip boxes, and pick out the one that overclocks the best. It's not something...

4.4Ghz @ 1.35V is very crappy.

Yep, going back to Amazon. 7 unopened, 3 opened without breaking the seal so as far as anyone cares they're unused. Dishonest...probably...but it gets the job done. My "old" 4.6 Ghz 5960X I'll put up for sale eventually. I might hang on to it because I have crazy ideas involving decking the...

I'm not so sure of that. In the distribution posted above, those are all either Xeon or Extreme Edition chips. The 1680's might come from the area around the red X, but every other point in the distribution is put on shelves as some flavor. Presumably Xeons significantly outsell Extreme...

4th and final chip (the one furthest to the left on the distribution) sucked the worst. Couldn't even get it to boot at 4.6 Ghz. So conclusion: golden die that overclock like monsters are furthest to the right possible on the distribution and Y axis position plays less of a role. I've put in...

Third one suck balls with threads dying seconds after starting P95. I even tried +.05 core voltage and it didn't really help: Some of the core temps aren't relevant because threads are dead.

I said screw it and decided to see if I could bang this experiment out on a Wed. night. Currently loaded up with the chip circled in red. It should be better than the old / first chip in every way because it's both lower on the Y axis and further to the right on the X axis. Here's the...

EE is one of the most difficult engineering programs out of all the engineering programs. I think only ChemE is considered more difficult. Also, back on topic, EE had one of if not the lowest % female graduates at my university (it was single digits). Even MechE had more women than we did...

I would hope for that price it comes with a lifetime supply of BJ's.

Going to find out which one overclocks the best. I won't explain this distribution (nor the axes scale or units), but ideally you want to be as far to the right and as far down as possible. It's an interesting exponential correlation, and I'm not sure which axis matters more so that's what...

Already been done. Interactive Buddy back in the day let you put celebrity faces on it and do sadistic shit to them :)

I went back into CS1.6 where I was a god back in the day and I sucked hardcore. I think my reflexes have gone to shit recently since I don't really play much of anything anymore.

This was exactly what I was thinking. It's still probably going to be a shitty console port no matter how long it takes them to release it.

"but due to continued problems with EUV deployment, it sounds like Intel is planning to do both 10nm and 7nm without it." I think it also has to do with the problems with 450mm wafers- no one wants to develop the machines required to do these processes. Intel may be like "yeah we'll spend $2B...

I imagine you have to act like a proper ++++y bitch to get blacklisted.

Is what I imagine HR does just thinking about such a c---c-c---combo minority hire.

This. Crippled lesbian african american transgender retard would get 999999 starting bonus at my company.

Because people are ordering shit expecting it to show up promptly, not expecting radio silence. FCPU could have come out of this relatively unscathed if they just shut their site down up front and stopped taking orders immediately, but they let the freight train run wild and have probably...

The workplace looks a lot nicer with more females around. Not even joking seeing a hot female walking around where I work is like seeing the sun in Seattle.

They're not even targeting 50%, they're targetting how many women exist in the field. So if 20% of an engineering field is women, a company wants 20% female engineers. I say this makes no sense still, since if a company has 15% female engineers this would mean that another company has to have...
