Miners won't buy it because price is too high for the performance it offers. $5k for 160MH/s... A 3080 can pull 100MH/s and is less than half the cost at scalper prices. Currently 3080 is going for less than $2000.

Hi, I installed a new Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti into my PC which has AMD A8-5600K. The card is connected to a Samsung RU8000 TV via HDMI. All is well during normal operation of the PC except when playing videos the audio and/or video randomly cuts out for a few seconds and then comes back. Sometimes...

Threading is a big deal, good luck doing anything where performance matters. I don't buy that multiple cores will pick up the load. Separate applications will often run on separate cores but many applications will be limited to one core and without threads it could kill the performance of the...

Another benefit to 8-bits per channel is it fits nicely into a 32-bit value. ARGB = 8-bits per channel x 4 channels (A is Alpha for transparency). 10 or 12-bit color values wouldn't work with 32-bit applications. Assuming your applications are 64-bit you could go up to 16-bits per channel (16 x...

I'm building two PCs with identical hardware. I don't want to configure the software twice. Does Windows 10 provide a way to create a system image (including settings and software) that I can easily clone onto the second PC? Only thing to note is the second PC will be a different user than the...

This is actually really cool. Using the mouse pad to power the mouse is genius

Rubber some? Mechanical? What kind of switches?

I really like the case!

Ethereum is pretty cool, code can be executed on the block-chain. Potentially you could use it as a distributed web server

To the CompuServe forums! Time to increase activity

It's an interesting product, but not sure who their market is... I mean most people are going to use the PSU that comes with their laptop. Most People who lose their PSU are going to buy another from the manufacturer. What would have been more interesting is if they partnered with a 3rd party...
