    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Patience is a virtue, wait and get a better card or a cheaper lesser card.

    Talk Talk Fibre 150 - Looking For Reviews

    I have heard rumours that Zen is not the Zen of old any more, another option is IDNet or Uno, one thing besides the poor customer service with TT that concerns me is the data leaks that seem to happen every now and then.

    Console Converts

    PC has so much more potential, you can emulate older consoles, get games cheaper/free, all the other windows app as well, the only reason to go console is for the exclusives of which there aren't many that make it worth it nowadays imo.

    Add 4g as second connection to home Network?

    If you want to load balance them, connect FTTC and 4G modems to a Pfsense router, otherwise look at Draytek/Asus for a router with 4G failover option, phones with Android 11+ can do reverse USB-C ethernet tethering.

    Talk Talk Fibre 150 - Looking For Reviews

    Usually people pick TT because they can't afford anything better, if you can, look elsewhere, perhaps Zen.

    4080/90 taped out

    I have a suspicion that $2000 will become £2000 especially if that UK online sales tax passes. As a 3090 owner I can't see much benefit if it's just 20-30% extra.

    Need a New GPU for pc built in 2013 - i5-2500k

    I'd OC that 2500k to 4.4Ghz+ (get a Hyper212 fan or similar), regarding GPU I'd look on used market, see if you can get something around £100, maybe a 960. If you want something better I'd probably look at a laptop + dock given the state of the GPU market at the moment.

    Plusnet blaming me for extreme packet loss

    Another option is just leave PlusNet, they're garbage anyways.

    Moved into a new house....

    If you have a spare phone lying around you can tether that to a cheap router via USB. Otherwise a 4G router on used market for £40 or less should be doable.

    4G Router Recommendations...

    I've had better results doing it manually, finding the mast location, measuring the compass heading on Google maps, and pointing the antenna directly at it. I am referring to the back haul of the mast. Android phones also seem to refer to it as 4G+, whether they copied EE I don't know :)...

    AMD's CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, sees chip shortage easing by next year

    They may be available in 2023 but the prices will likely be much higher due to inflation caused by rampant central bank money printing.

    4G Router Recommendations...

    Generally EE will provide the best speeds in most areas, they also tend to have 4G+ everywhere, on a 150Mbps mast you can usually get close to full speeds during off-peak from my own testing. Beware that the MR6400 (LTE Cat. 4) doesn't support LTE-A or band selection, one upside is that it can...

    any idea when OC will get GPU cards in

    Apparently a lot of the cards are sold directly to the miners under the condition of no/very limited warranty, easy money for AMD/Nvidia/retailers.

    The (Ada) Lovelace architecture Thread.

    I wonder what the performance difference will be like between 3090 and 4090.

    Unreal Engine 5 - unbelievable.

    You can download UE5 yourself and import some free assets if the tech demo isn't enough.

    Best VPN

    If you have a Asus router with Merlin firmware as VPN client you can specify which devices connect to the VPN and also what IP ranges use the VPN so if you knew the IP range for Netflix for example, you could whitelist it.

    Streaming from PC to monitor? For gaming

    Steam Remote/Link should work for this.

    4G Router Recommendations...

    Tips from my experience: Use cellmapper to find nearest mast(s) for your operator. Test the mast with a cellphone at off-peak time to try and guess max speed, a lot of rural masts won't go above 150Mbps so it's pointless buying a 600Mbps LTE-A router. Check to see whether 4G+ is available, if...

    Video TDR Failure (nvlddmkm.sys) 1080TI

    Might want to get in contact with Thrustmaster to get that fixed, might be affecting other people too.

    Cheapest way to run 2x 4k monitors?

    GT1030 is a good option but you will probably need a DVI-D to HDMI adapter for the second monitor.
