Well, it looks like Intel is going to try to take advantage of this situation. If they manage to lower prices thanks to that stock, they could make a significant dent in AMD's market share, which has been putting pressure on them lately even in laptops with very good numbers.

Let's see if you publish an entry even if it's just a tease

To be honest, I can't talk much about games, as I rarely play old stuff. But the topic of Windows 11 is something I deal with continuously at work. The latest issue is that on some of our Surfaces, normal USBs (not the USB-C Thunderbolt) have stopped working, along with associated devices like webcam and bluetooth. All users say it happened after an update, and I haven't found a quick solution yet because when you try to uninstall the update, it gets reversed. After several repairs, installations, reboots... it works again, but it takes precious time. So, between Surface and Windows 11, we have the perfect storm.

And you know there have been other issues, like problems with printers or audio after some updates. At home, it works well for me, but I only use it on the gaming computer; for more typical tasks, I use a mini PC with Linux Mint.

Well, that's a good question. As a happy user of AMD both in graphics and processor, I must say that Nvidia has, as of today, the best gaming graphics card that exists and I'm not referring to the RTX5090, I'm referring to the RTX5080. The best graphics card from the competition, RX9070XT, competes with the RX5070TI and to be fair, the 5070 is faster although also much more expensive. I have the RX9070 and although it's a graphics card that blows your mind, it doesn't come close to Nvidia in terms of technology. And mind you, FSR 4.0 is amazing and a huge leap compared to FSR 3.0 and the performance in Ray Tracing is more than enough to be very enjoyable (unlike the RX6000 which was the graphics card I had before). But even so, Nvidia is ahead.

The only thing Nvidia sucks at is supporting its older graphics cards on Linux. When they move them to the Legacy driver, those graphics cards become almost obsolete (the support for Wayland on older graphics cards is non-existent and soon those graphics cards won't be usable on modern distros). And I, as a Linux user, rule out buying Nvidia for that reason. Nowadays, the use of the old GCN graphics cards continues to hold their own with Vulkan thanks to the support given to them on Linux by the community and because AMD publishes their drivers in open source under the MIT license.

I don't know, I think Nvidia takes advantage of the circumstances but it's still a giant that has CUDA under a proprietary license and has practically turned it into an industry standard and that gives them an advantage through a de facto monopoly. But they are still the best graphics cards, they still have the best technologies, the best software and the best implementation protocols in AI. That's a fact...

@Xevipiu nothing out of this world, mate!! Just enough for me to be able to build a retro pc someday.
What's funny is that a few months ago they gave me a 486 and I also found a Pentium 166 on Wallapop from a really nice guy, I think.
I only have it for the nostalgia and for tinkering around, the problem is that I either have little time or little desire, but it's my little hobby. But anyway, my collection at most fills a shelf of one of your bookshelves!!

But seeing your photos is very pleasant

You're right, @pos_yo selling hardware from years ago as new sounds a bit like a joke, but given how the current landscape is, you can expect anything from NVIDIA!!

I suppose that as long as they maintain driver support and the official warranty, these 3060s will occupy that segment of users who can't (or don't want to) reach the prices of a 40 or 50 series. In the end, it's almost better that these 3060s come out "like churros", at least they have decent performance, rather than us being sold the capped 3050s or the eternal GTX 1650s that can't do anything more.

Regards!!

Come on, let's revive this thread 19 years later, I'll take advantage of the fact that I have about 15 sets of D9GMH/D9GCT/D9GKX memory modules at home **Crucial Tracer 6400 D9GKX at only 2.45v**    

After the break for the holidays. I'm getting back to this, although I've already checked that it works via cli, the visual layer is missing, there's a bottleneck in which gtp and I are stuck. The order it uses is: 1. tlcs (server.ini configured with the correct paths, we'll delve into this later) 2. wireguard configured correctly 3. Run tlcs. 4. Start the tournament from the framework (the tlcs console receives the tournament data, in the case of winboard it's a debug file that adds the data) 5. From the vps, run node-tlcv and then we already have tlcs and node connected, then the web viewer retransmits the tournament in real time. In our framework, we've taken this idea, but we've created the app from the chessgui framework (ccrl.live retransmits with this framework and the same system) and it's not a.debug file but a txt. The issue is that the tournaments do work, but we can't get the tlcs client to change the board, although the.txt file does record the moves and node-tlcv from the vps connects as with winboard, to tlcs. As although it's the plus version, it's still gpt at the biggest plagiarism ever created, it makes mistakes and can leave a space, add an incorrect character in the code and we have to keep debugging and debugging, but without managing to retransmit as we did with winboard. Why I didn't use winboard, because it only allows you to launch a game between two chess engines, not a tournament. In any case, I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy new year again and we'll move on to programming issues when the holidays are over. Hugs, comrades.

@cobito In theory, the x264 codec is better than AMD's h264 codec. At least, more efficient. The quality at the same bitrate is better (in theory) in x264 but I don't appreciate it and many people also say the same thing... It is also true that it has improved a lot... It is also true that the quicksync codec and intel's nvenc and nvidia's respectively are better than AMD's in terms of h264. In the AV1 codec there is not much difference but that is only in RDNA3 onwards.

@jordiqui I agree with you. And more so with the performance of the latest generation CPUs, they do not evolve as much from one generation to the next and take longer to become obsolete. I bought an R7 7700 and between it being cheap and, although it is not the latest generation, it is quite recent, it has been a great purchase that I am very happy with.

Many thanks, @cobito and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Congratulations on the result @cobito, incredible work. Without a doubt, the owner owes you more than just gratitude.

Thanks for sharing it here in detail, even though it seems like a very particular and isolated circumstance, in reality, you never know when all this information might be needed.

Best regards!

Come on, I'm up for it, after all, it's almost 24 years of nothing

The Palominos are very hard to overclock, even with 2.2v, it refuses to give an extra 1mhz
