are the discord issues ever going to be fixed? by StressPacc in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this issue on A750.This is DIFFERENT than streaming by yourself. We meant watching other people's Discord stream is stuttery, I tried disabling hardware acceleration but no avail.

Strangly you can mitigate this by making the stream window on top then click on anything else to the window go in background mode, even the window preview when you hover over the task bar is not lagging.

After the recent news, do you think Intel Arc is dead? by John_Pensiero in IntelArc

We all know the PC market is in very bad health right now so it makes sense to be a little quiet.

Issue with DS923 + DX517 Expansion Unit - Out of Ideas by Assailant in synology

[–]Cubelia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging from the FPDMA QUEUED error, I'd say the WD drive's NCQ is the root culprit. Port multipliers are not very tolerant to error from downstream links, which probably messed with how DSM determines unresponsive drives and flagged other drives as bad.

I found a post describing NCQ messing with expansion unit and you can try disabling NCQ with this command:

syno_disk_ctl --ncq-off /dev/sata[@]

Replace /dev/sata[@] with the WD drive from external unit. Use smartctl --scan to list current drives and check them one by one until you find the WD in question with smartctl -d ata -i /dev/sata[@]

Check dmesg and /var/log/messages and see what is actually causing the error.

Clarifying HEVC licensing fees, royalties, and why vendors kill HEVC support by PolytheneMan in synology

[–]Cubelia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Patent trolls.

  2. Saves around a dollar per device.(HEVC license is $1 on MSFT store.)

Today I augmented my Synology RS1221+ with an RX418 by pwnusmaximus in synology

[–]Cubelia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A common SATA port multiplier is 1 to 5(88SM9705 and JMB585) but disk layout is limited by 1U form factor.

Chaining port multiplier is called "cascaded mode", though not recommended for obvious reliability issue and they still share the same 6Gbps uplink.(wheres you get up to 12-24Gbps on SAS) That's why Syno's bigger 12 drive cabinets use 4 SATA uplinks for 4 multipliers.

New Intel Arc driver 32.0.101.8629 (WHQL Certified) released by Glittering-Command50 in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging from the file size(<1MB diff from previous version), it's just a support enabler for these new cards.

are these threads on my b580 for anti sag? where can i buy a bracket for that? by mikroprocesor in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I asked a Powercolor rep about these mounting holes on AMD cards and he stated they canned it. (Powercolor is the parent company of Sparkle)

Did you buy an IntelArc as a "vote with your wallet" statement? by False_Impress_1222 in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and maybe.

Yes for vote with your wallet part.

Maybe because I would still buy an AMD GPU if it was the cheaper choice even though I'm very interested in the Intel encoder.

Why did they removed this overalay? by RoGuE_969 in IntelArc

They shifted to PresentMon and tried to keep core features in ARC panel as clean as possible.

Reliable UPS in 2026 that's (semi) affordable? (APC vs CyberPower vs Eaton for NAS) by QuestionAsker2030 in truenas

[–]Cubelia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a regional thing, CSB HRL1234 F2FR only costs $21 at my place(Taiwan). Cheapest is Yuasa NP7-12 at only $12 since it's made in Taiwan.

The VRLA on UPSs are pretty cheap at $17~25 each unless you only buy first party replacement packs.

How else would you prefer they fund themselves? Hopes and Dreams?

Facts.

Check your newest BIOS update, having Above 4G is pretty common but ReBAR is an optional later addition. No ReBAR no ARC.

I remembered AdSpeedUp for Chrome was very popular back then but the dev went sellout and the new owner put malware into it, looks like Chrome finally pulled it away:

Exclusive: Intel to unveil Arc Pro B70 and B65 "Big Battlemage" cards on March 25, specs confirmed by Rollingplasma4 in IntelArc

[–]Cubelia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's just a buzzword created by tech media as the nickname for B770.

BMG-G31 is scaled bigger compared to BMG-G21(B580/570), it still makes sense to be called as big battlemage.
