  1. On another note, reminder that modern systems can use your #iGPU in tandem with the #GraphicsCard, mainly by handling the simpler loads like the window manager and basic applications (including Steam), leaving the Graphics Card and its PCIe bus open to run nothing but your heaviest application.

  3. Tip I keep giving people about #ComputerHardware that I wonder if anyone has a counterpoint too...

    A #GraphicsCard is still a Graphics Card, even if it's old or low end. Even the obsolete #NVIDIA 1050 in my laptop can render billions of polygons at 60fps, more if I give it external cooling, and is capable of every major shader operation, short of #Raytracing, that a newer card is: other than a potentially heavy short-term load like #Resonite and #Blender can throw when you're building something complicated, the only useful thing my cards are short on is #VRAM. Hell, even the embedded #GPU in the old i7 #CPU, and the #iGPU in my desktop's #AMD 7600 can run less intensive games like Black Mesa without many issues. (I know this because I've run them with the graphics card deactivated, I actually can't get Black Mesa to run with it.)

    If you're building a computer and don't know what to get, just get the cheapest graphics card that meets your VRAM needs. (Probably at least 8GB with how unoptimized User Generated Content in spaces like Resonite can get, or how unoptimized "professional" developers have gotten)

    Outside of specific issues, there's really not much need to get the high tier or later cards, unless you know a specific need for it: the 5 year old mid-tier will give you a passable experience in the majority of cases, and will likely have fewer driver/compatibility issues anyway. Newer and higher tier is just not worth another few hundred dollars these days.

    Someone else may have a reason I'm wrong though: I'm open to a reason this is bad advice.

  5. Time to reroll the RTX 5070Ti coil whine lottery. After 2 returned #asus TUF ones, I went with Gigabyte this time and hoped for the best. Are any of the manufacturers better than the rest when it comes to whine or is it purely down to per-card lottery?

  6. ZZ9000 Graphics Card: Firmware and driver version 2.2.0

    The new firmware release adds the SDK-service firmware that the ZZ9000 SDK v2 builds on, on-card cryptographic acceleration, a cold-boot fast-RAM fix, and a wave of reliability hardening. The new driver release bundles the new ZZ9000 SDK v2 runtime and per-CPU accelerated AmiSSL into the installer, and adds GUI/CLI firmware-update tooling.
