Which brand is that?

The higher refresh rate reduces nausea more than Rolaids. :LOL:

RTX 30 series cards are more abundant lately and prices are becoming more reasonable. I'm tempted to go for the 3080 this summer rather than wait for the 4070 if it is not smaller and uses significantly less power for the same throughput. When will we have better info on the 40 series?

So you just use one setting for all images? Then they return to PS or something? I've already found some ugly artifacts from the 3.7, so I'm not sure it is so good. :(

Maybe I'm confused, but wouldn't you have been a very small child back then? The Matrox were mainly used for work and content creators; Vodoo and such was for the gamers. I had a 1280x display since the 21" Artisans were too bulky and expensive for me at the time. After that the Apple Cinema...

So I tried 3.7, but the RAW conversion is still not good. I would use this on a TIF only. The low light mode, which I normally use, looks to be a bit cleaner than the older version. According to the change log 3.7 now uses RTX video card functions for better accelerations.

How are you using it - plug-in or standalone?

It is displaying something that looks like a 1965 TV with the rabbit ear broken. :LOL:

Or $600 new for a 2015 card. LOL I used the Matrox cards for years on the CRT displays. Most people were using Matrox with the Artisans even after the early screwed-up LCDs arrived.

Maybe they are prioritizing stocks of the higher grade video cards?

You think I am administator at work. :D 🤣 They don't let us do anything and the software is always changing without notice to some some slow, clod-based system that people can barely use.

Maybe you have more data or it was different in the South-West. I have seen several homes from the 50s originally with the Swamp Coolers and houses from the 1960s all had A/C. The condenser units had horizontal fans that were very loud. Many of them lasted into the 70s and were replaced when...

I thought most all US homes less than ~60 years old have the internal A/C, expect maybe Alaska. I've seen a lot of wall A/Cs in hotels, presumably as a cost saving measure. They are often too noisy for home use. FWIW, there was no A/C in most homes when I was stationed in Europe many years...

I built a 5700G Micro-ATX last year on the B550M. It works fine without video if you are not playing games or something.

RSN they will be enforcing Win 11 at work. 😢 😡

Just why is that not at another datacenter or your local home office? What happened to the A/C?

It's not a good idea for several reasons. Are you planning on junking that vehicle also?

I see them now, but previously saw the three "paragraphs" of codes. o_O

Are you saying that the cat was typing on the keyboard? How is it that the three paragraph endings are the same or similar, e.g., =w2126-h1594-no and =w2676-h2007-no? I assume that means something to the machine language, but not humans outside of IT.

Oops, I misunderstood. Normally a totaled car is paid out at the current value at the time of the accident. That is irrespective of your financial interest in the car. I also assumed that most lenders require gap insurance to pay off the loan in the event of a shortfall.

What does that code mean?

I thought you wanted to keep that car just a few weeks ago. LOL

And now 22, with the 14th French Open win. 🏆 Nobody in any major professional sport has won such an event 14 times. No baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, football, etc. It's almost superhunan especially considering the degenerative effects of Mueller-Weiss syndrome.

The D7500 would be more for wildlife and the D7200 more for landscape.

In May I bought a D7500 as a last DX camera before they disappear forever. It's not as good as the D7200, but faster. I hope that pair lasts a few years until a decent grade Z-DX MILS exists and matures enough in AF, which probably will not be the first generation. All Nikon has now is the...

I don't bring camera gear in public unless it's to the airport. Are you mostly in the States? Nobody would use a lens that is designed to lose 40% of the image unless it is a long tele or some other special purpose lens that is not available at all. Even then it would not be a main working lens.

The GFX 100S is a surprisingly inexpensive and really compact semi-MF camera with 100MP. You will mostly see them used for travel and landscape off the beaten path. Some people use them in the studio too, but there are better options for that. Canon lenses don't cover 55mm other than the...

Interesting. I wonder if they will alleviate the Windows 11 in the future.

That is what I am doing after MS borks the driver that was previously installed. It just sucks that MS constantly forces software updates for no good reason.

Their level of stupidity buggers the mind. The brains of the Canon operation have long been replaced by marketroids and milleniums that don't actually work in the field.

I just use a video card naturally with the drivers installed and nothing else. I have not had any issues since XP64, which was an orphaned OS from the start. Sometimes Windows wants to download new NVidea drivers. :(

Just how old is it? I was running 4th gen Cores on the M.2 drives with Win 7 years ago. The earlier M.2 worked on the PICe without NVMe and then the NVMe SSDS needed a driver. More recently the Samsung NVMe SSDs don't have a driver and cannot be used.

I have maybe ten of the 6TB drives with archives, but they are just hanging around until disposal. I never liked that generation (6x1TB platters) of hot drives. I was hoping that the He tech drives would be better over time since they run cooler and are sealed to exclude oxygen and water from...

I've seen that with many drives, though that is more extreme at 288GB and you are starting with slow speeds from SATA anyway. Defrag is not so good because of the write amplification, but also the block size/locations and cluster sizes are not matcthed so some NAND flash will perhaps be...

Is there any chance that Win 10 will work on the late 2022 AMD CPUs/GPUs?

Keep in mind that the 32.5MP R7 sensor will be quite noisy compared to what you are used to with the R6, but I don't know what shutter angles you use for videos and what degree of studio/location lighting is implemented. I found the 90D video to be mediocre, so it has to be an improvement over...

I have a plethora of the old-school 8TB WD RED and the unofficial EMAZ versions with the same firmware. Many are from 2017 and a few from 2018, mostly with 300-1200 hours on the SMART clock and have been in room temperature storage since the viral disease. If I wipe data is there any reason...

They knew the scripts defeat Windows 11 intentions, and deliberately left that option?

From what I can find it still has the old-tech (slow scanning) sensor and lowly 12-bit depth in electronic shutter so you need to use the mechanical shutter for action subjects or higher IQ. I'm still about 98% sure that it won't AF a 600/4 worth a damn on OOF subjects. I may rent one for...

The R7 is looking to be rather meh, being a functional successor to the 90D rather than the 7D II. I'm still hoping that Nikon can make a superior MILS successor to the D500. No DSLR cropper was ever in its league.

I'm not sure how much RAM it has, the same as the R5? How many losslessly compressed RAW files can you shoot in one minute and then the second minute after that?

Surely that won't last very long after MS finds out.

My point is that they will have to increase the TDP to get the same performance from the CPU and that takes better cooling or it will not perform as well as possible. For example will the 7950x with an added GPU run at 125W instead of the 105W TDP in the 5950x?

But will those perform well in PTGui or DXO? I always thought that integrated graphics was not good because it generates more heat and ultimately results in lower maximum performance of the CPU.

I'm finding that many younger people are asking for unrealistic salaries these days. Somewhere they read that it's an employees market and are they just looking for jobs without any clear plan other than hopping around to move up. I've been a hiring manager since my mid 20s and it's worse now...

UHS-I with the A2 is much faster in reads, but not much in writes and I don't think the cameras can use that mode. Is there any new info from Canon? IIRC with FW v 1.30 or 1.40 the R5 was really slow even with the A2 cards. Are you seeing a differnce in sustained camera writes between UHS-I...

I cannot imagine how that works in a laptop. The 12-gen CPUs are power-hungry enough.

Are you assuming the count is for blocks or pages? IIRC a block could be 1MB more or less.

It's not really SMART data when it is proprietary, but maybe that changed with NVMe. I noticed a few years ago that SMART software wasn't correct when used on Samsung 900 series SSDs.

The costs are about the same. For example a good 128GB SDxC UHS-II (half duplex 312) card is about $150-200 and so is a 128GB CFe (Type B) card. IME the CFe card is much faster in the R5, clearing the buffer about twice as fast. The fastest UHS-I cards write at about a third of the fastest...
