  1. Crypto mining today is very ramified. On one side, bitcoin mining no longer uses GPUs. On the other hand, currencies like Etherum and others still do.
  2. Thank you
  3. Only if there were any (nukes) left by then.
  4. Nobody really knows exactly what the problem is. The capacitors could be one among other culprits.
  5. From 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 DCS VR performance dropped substantially over the many borked updates.
  6. I love my NH-14S. It was on my 4770k before and now on Ryzen 5 3600. I keeps it under 60C even under heavy VR gaming.
  7. :megalol:
  8. lol. It was something like "MFDs brightness adjustment resets to default when changing pages". Something like that.
  9. I had a 4770k from feb 2014 until dec 2019. It was running at 4.3ghz since day 1. I sold it to a person I know. He's still running it. What I conclude is that yes, it must shorten the cpu's life, but they will still last until at least when they become obsolete and they probably keep going for long. Heck, I have a 2010 macbook pro running Win7 bootcamp. It's still running hot like it always was.
  10. Please, don't get me wrong on this. I am AMD now, but I don't have any personal favorite brand. If I could afford, I'd definitely get the best and most expensive; that I'd assume to be 10900k or something and a RTX3090. But I'm poor, live on a budge and need to get the best value for the money. If you can afford the best, go for it. My only suggestion is to be open and know and compare all the options available.

  12. To beat a 10700k, I'd say the new yet to be announced Ryzen 7 4700/4700x paired with either a MSI B550 Tomahawk, a MSI B550 Gaming Carbon Wifi or a MSI B550i Gaming Edge Wifi. https://www.techspot.com/review/2030-intel-core-i7-10700k/
  13. Sure, no problem. Just pick a good motherboard like a MSI B550 Tomahawk and you're good to go with native support for the next gen zen3 cpus.( ) I was also an intel consumer for quite some time. My switch to AMD was budgetary. I needed to get an SSD and DDR4. My old Z87 4770k was a great combination, but lacked support for those. When I bought my upgrades, they were all on sale, so I spent at least 40% less than I'd spend on an intel system. I paid £365 for motherboard, cpu and 16gb ddr4 + £75 for a 500gb SSD. Later this year I sold my 16gb 3000mhz ddr4 and bought on sale 32gb 3600mhz ddr4 for £140.
  14. You don't consider AMD as an option? Zen 3 is just around the corner.
  15. What? :doh:
  16. I tried changing the resolution, but in VR they had no effect, not that I could notice.
  17. Wait a second, who changed the title of this thread and why?
  18. Does that mean that on the same MFD, different pages have different brightness levels?
  19. Here I use a low level basic bombing mission filled with a bunch of SAMs to benchmark my system. It's fun, challenging and I get practical results.
  20. The initial MFDs brightness when a mission starts in either dusk or dawn is too low. After adjusting it, when you switch to other pages of the same MFD, the brightness adjustment is not kept and resets back to default (dark).
  21. Before you get an USB hub, check on your motherboard if you have any available USB port. If so, you can get a USB backplate connected directly to the motherboard.
  22. Exceptions aside, IRL you can't fire AT weapons from enclosed spaces because of back-blast.
  23. If most options could be set externally via lua files or DCS backdoor, I'm pretty sure a talented lad like Bailey would quickly release his third party DTC app. It's just a matter of ED giving us the tools.
