I did try just downloading a regular Windows 10 image from Microsoft and making a bootable USB with it. On the Mac, made sure Secure Boot was disabled and External Boot enabled.. but even then, it did not recognize the drive. This particular test was on a 2020 13" Macbook Pro i5 model. The...

As the initial post stated, it's a work related task. "We" are running a few applications that are exclusive to Windows. That and everyone who is currently using these applications are PC users. We are in the process of upgrading(replacing) our current laptops with newer models. Unfortunately...

UPDATE: I figured it out. In case anyone else wants to know how to do it: From MacOS, launch Boot Camp and tell it to download "Windows Supported Software". Use RUFUS to create a bootable Windows 10 USB drive(I did this from a Windows PC) and set it to GPT. Once done, copy the...

There's a bunch of YouTube videos of people apparently doing Crossfire with 6900 XT's.

I used to have a Gigabyte Z390 Designare motherboard and was using 2 EVGA 3090 FTW3 Hybrids in SLI mode with the NVLink bridge. The motherboard did not have the proper 4-slot spacing, so I ended up getting 2 riser cables and had the cards positioned vertically. There were not very many games I...

This particular system belonged to someone who passed away. It's been decided to simply erase(wipe) the SSD and dispose of the Mac. The display is completely smashed and nothing is visible on it. I've tried that "trick" of connecting an external display and closing the lid as soon as I hit the...

I acquired a 2019 Macbook Pro 15" with a broken display recently(you cannot see anything at all on the screen). I've tried connecting to an external display with no luck. So, I ended up booting up this Mac via 'Target Disk Mode' on another Mac. When it pops up, it asks for the keychain...

I'm well aware of the negatives(I have 2 3090's in my primary desktop). I just wanted to know if it was possible. Thanks!

Hello, I'm putting together a PC at the moment and currently have a MERC 6900 XT for it. I've heard you can still do Crossfire with these new GPU's. I have someone offering me a Red Devil 6900 XT for nearly MSRP. If I decide to buy it, will I be able to use Crossfire even though they are...

Sounds good. I have a pair of EVGA 3090 FTW3 Hybrids in 1 desktop and a MERC 6900XT in another. I haven't really tried "duking it out" between the cards, but have at least noticed that the 6900XT gets a little bit more FPS overall than a single 3090 in gaming... so long as you are not using Ray...

UPDATE: I thought I'd let anyone know(who cares) what I've found. I've tried doing everything from removing SATA drives(only leaving 1 NVMe in SLOT_3), DDU in Safe Mode, re-seating the GPU's & NVLink, etc... basically nothing worked. I then tried reverting back to a driver from January and...

MSI X570 Godlike - Can't turn on SLI(NVLink) in Nvidia Control Panel (2 x 3090 + NVLink) ? Firstly, please don't respond with "SLI is dead", "why are you using SLI?", etc... Secondly, I confirmed that this paritcular motherboard is the only X570 board that has the proper 4-slot spacing for...

I'm not so much concerned with 'balance' per se, moreso going for best performance possible. I'm not too concerned with price either. I do quite a bit of video/audio production and have lots of plug-ins/windows open. I know G.Skill released some 4000MHz memory not that long ago geared towards...

I just recently acquired a 5950X processor and have an MSI X570 GODLIKE motherboard coming in the mail. If you are wondering, I only went for this motherboard because it's the only X570 board that has the proper 4-slot spacing for 3090 NVLink. Anyway, I need to get memory for the system. I'm...

It's a spare 3090 and a spare 1000w PSU that I already have on hand. Hoping for something small as the area where I want to potentially put a PC does not have much room. I did check that Silverstone case and it says it supports upto 150mm standard PSU... this one is 187.96mm. That and my other...
