    Out Of The Park (OOTP) Baseball

    Heya, I started with OOTP 17 & 17 from humblebundle deals back in the day. I played a bit with them, but never really got into it - (Redsox fan since 1997, saw them in '98 at Fenway). Then I picked up OOTP21 on a <£4 deal late in 2020 on steam. I started watching Avindian on YT and he ran a...

    **** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

    I've heard talk that things like the processing of the glass panels will be moved onto their own threads on the cpu which should help performance. ObsidianAnt on YT has some vids up showing Xbox S/X performance, which seem close to 30fps even while over NY or LON. Looking to pick the prog up on...

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    I think I'm of a similar mind. Initially loved the 5900x, but in the cold light of day, I think maybe a discounted 3700x around BF may be the smart move for my use case with a move to 5x00x when AM5/DDR5 drops... Does mean the potential to replace my Vega 56 when AMD launch new cards

    AMD Zen3 event thread

    Yup, planning to retire my i5 4690k for a 5800x/5900x depending on price and spec.

    Crusader Kings 3 - Paradox Interactive

    I'm not that good a player, but watching youtubers like Quill18 etc. he suggests dishing out to dynasty members first and then look at others in your court. But be wary of concentrating power in vassals - giving Counties to those who already hold the Duchy is probably good from a De Jure...

    **** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

    I'm in a similar boat, but with a Vega 56. I had a quick jaunt around my local area in a TBM930 and it looked amazing, but definitely jumpy in frame rate. Need more time on it to get it running smoother at whatever level I can. I'm planning the upgrade later in the year when AMD release next gen.

    Lucky so far I think. Had to restart the loading a couple of times to move from the blue progress bar, but once it moved on to identifying the packages and downloading, it loaded up overnight. It identified High-End as the settings (i5 4690k+16gb and Vega 56) and let me in without any trouble...

    Nice to hear - I'm intending to upgrade later in the year to Ryzen, but with a system as in the sig, looks like it might run OK. Thanks

    Who's got the oldest CPU in main pc, how does it cope?

    i5 4690k at stock here about 5 years old, seems to cope with the games I run. Keep flip flopping between upgrade to AMD 3x00 and wait for 4x00...

    Back at it again! What happened to........

    The covid19 moonshot projects eg.project 13416 were giving me 70k ppd (taking stupid times to complete too) on a vega 56 compared to 700k other projects were giving. But I was also folding on my cpu (i5 4690k). I found a thread on the folding@home forum suggesting to stop folding on the cpu and...

    Dodgy practises of 123-reg & .UK domains

    Yes, I noticed that last week. I had two standard .co.uk domains that I let expire and thought it strange to receive renewal notices from them by email. It was only checking through the panel on the site that I realised they were renewing the 'free' .uk related domains that they'd given me. Bad...

    Plane Spotters / Flight Radar Thread

    Thanks for all the help - tried dump1090 mutability on my original Pi B running pihole, but I would notice quite a drop in performance of pihole, perhaps as you would suspect. Anyway have moved the pihole onto a new Zero W and it runs perfectly. Dump1090 and Flightaware feed is working on the...

    GTX970 upgrade options

    My 970 died a month or two back and after waiting for the Navi news, went with a Sapphire Pulse 56 for OCUK too. Would GPU-Z programme tell me what make of chips are on it?
