I was wondering how we were going to handle this. At the moment I've been keeping my 5800x mostly on Primegrid as it's the only CPU I have which can handle it decent with my 2600x on Ramanujan Machine. I've been doing a bit of RM and NFS on the 5800x while gaming since both projects are a lot...

Looks like the Steeplechase starts in less than three days and it's another CPU project, SiDock.

Bot? No. Paid shill? Yes.

The end of 2023 was the last gasp of the good deals. Prices have only been going up since then.

Do we know yet if we're going to throw the first javelin or not? I'm planning on adding a little to it but it seems I've pulled some work units that have a deadline of about 3.5 days.

You just described the reason I say the first of the rebooted Tomb Raider games was by far the best. It was a very well done, tight story which integrated into the whole of the game to make it all feel like every quest mattered. It's a pity they lost that in the two later games by going for the...

It's one of the reasons I've been running Primegrid lately. F@H pissed me off (again) but there's practically no medical projects around right now. The last time I tried WCG I couldn't even pull a work unit for CPU or GPU; although that's been a while now.

It also indicates it will use around 20 MB of cache so it's probably good to keep that in mind. I haven't swapped over my Ryzen 2600x yet but I'm not sure if I'm going to since it only has 16 MB of cache.

I don't have a Radeon VII but I've been using CoreCTRL for a few years now with RX570s and a 6750xt and never once have I had a problem with it. For reference I'm running Manjaro on both my systems.

You all are definitely doing better than me. The best I've done is found two AP23s. One of the reasons I started running AP27 again (besides running it in the pentathlon last year) is because of the PPD. I have yet to run any GPU project on Primegrid which even comes close to the points AP27...

I had a Radeon 8500 and used it for quite a while. Never once had a problem with it and it ran everything I needed it to. I didn't replace it until the GeForce 7600GT. I will say that the Radeon 7500 AIW was actually a faster card in a number of games (a friend of mine had one and he had me...

I don't do top 10 lists but here are a few I've watched plenty of times: Spaceballs V for Vendetta 3:10 to Yuma (2007) Escape from New York Ferris Bueller's Day Off The Last Starfighter The Terminator A Fistful of Dollars For a Few Dollars More The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Back to the Future...

Damage control. Even if the issue isn't Intel's fault Intel will be blamed for it by at least some people which makes for really bad press and damage to the company and brand which goes far beyond the cost of RMAs.

Her face sure isn't. Based on the changes in her face from the first to the second game it looks like she put on 40+ lbs. And had plastic surgery to make her jaw even bigger.

The most likely reason the x3d chips were released later is due to yields. The CCDs with the cache tend to be some of the best silicon due to the fact they need to run cooler with much more stringent voltages while still being able to clock relatively high. It takes time to stockpile those...
