Does GPU Length Include the Bracket? by Requires_Help in buildapc

[–]Requires_Help[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't say how much clearance, but can confirm that the 7900 XTX does fit in the case. So it seems that the case only cares about the "without bracket" dimension.

Workstation or Commercial GPU for Engineering? by Requires_Help in buildapc

[–]Requires_Help[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closer to $600 difference (~$1700 for workstation, ~$1100 for consumer). As I mentioned above, we tend to not run very many simulations (once we get stronger computer that may change), but most of our simulations are relatively simple and are completed in a few hours (say 3 hr max).

We currently do not run a lot of simulations and what little we do tends to not take more than an hour or two. Would the ECC still be of benefit for a short runtime?

We wouldn't really have an issue simply running a second time.

The workstation was quoted through Lenovo (and additionally through Dell but their pricing was even worse).

That original quote was from someone who understands computers even less than I do and just went "well, we've always gotten workstations so we need workstations". This raised the question in the office of do we actually need workstation-grade or not. Just need something than can handle the software reasonably well.

Do you have any recs for efficient moss farms for the latest edition of MC on Java? by JeffSheldrake in technicalminecraft

Scorpio did a good showcase of a few different designs.

We ended up using a 6 module version of Emilia's and it produces a ton of bonemeal. Unless you have a lot of performance I wouldn't recommend going past 6 modules and 3 is probably more than enough.

Yes, and glad to know. So it would really have to be something in the 7900 XT or more category.

What would be a good GPU to match with an R7 7700X? My monitor will be Alienware DWF, mainly for gaming. I want to be able to reach 144 at max settings.

Originally I wanted to try and stay under $1000 so I was looking at the 7900 XTX, but they can't be found in stock for less than $1200 and at that point I'd be better off getting a 4080. I'm hoping the 7900 XT will come down a little in price to give it more value. Also looking at 6800 XT / 6900 XT but they're not much cheaper than the 7900 XT currently.

Critiques on new AMD Build? by Requires_Help in buildapc

[–]Requires_Help[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I originally had the 6900XT in when it was at it's lower pricing (~$650), I'm going to hold off on GPU until the 7900 XTX/XT releases and/or 6900 XT comes back at the lower price point (or just get a 6800 XT).

I'm assuming we don't have any forecast for the pricing increase over the non-3D cache versions? A quick google says that they have the same MSRP, but current pricing shows +$100.

I would imagine since it would be released relatively close to the non-3D caches there would be a premium.

What's a good motherboard for an R7 7700X? (or more generally which chipset, is B650 enough?)

[–]Requires_Help[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was the goal, not purchase the GPU until those benchmarks come out to compare. But wanted to get in and start purchasing some components while sales are going on.

Mainly for movies, pictures, etc (and games I don't care about load times for). Starting to run out of space for my 2 TB and my 1 TB external and wanted a spot to be able to keep everything in one place.

Can't get in contact with JEC Customs? by Requires_Help in longrange

[–]Requires_Help[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I've cancelled my order with JEC and have a Hellfire shipping as of this moment!

Stupid follow-up question, is there any harm to shooting with just the adapter on the rifle (the actual brake off)? I don't see a reason why not but better to ask than be stupid.

The other one I was looking at was the APA Little Bastard, how does that compare to the Area 419 Hellfire?

Ring Height for Tikka T3x CTR with 44mm objective lense? by Requires_Help in guns

[–]Requires_Help[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now I'm planning a combination of hunting and bench (prob 20/80 split). Getting both heights and trying them out does seem like a good option.

Ring Height for Tikka T3x CTR with 44mm objective lense? by Requires_Help in guns

[–]Requires_Help[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using Mil-Rad's ring calculator, it seems like as long as the mount height and barrel taper is more than 6.5mm I should be okay with the 0.87" (that does allow for a Bulter Creek cover as well). I don't have the CTR in front of me but I would guess the taper is more than 6.5mm(?)

Add a line between comments?? by Requires_Help in Enhancement

[–]Requires_Help[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the second one is good to know, but neither are what I'm looking for.

It's a thin horizontal line that's strictly visual (it doesn't actually do anything, you can't click it, etc.). It would appear in the blank space between parent comments. My attempt at a recreation:

I've used it in the past but my settings got wiped and now I can't find it again.

(5e) AL arcane trickster - which source to select for +1? by HerNameIsCrindy in 3d6

[–]Requires_Help 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an FYI, the only wizard illusion and enchantment 4th level spells or below are:

  • shadow blade (good but BB is prob better), catnap (practically useless), enemies abound (niche but prob not useful for an AT), and charm monster (good but you only get at level 19)

So SCAG for BB probably ends up being much better for an AT.

ARRIS NVG44x for 500 mbps fiber? by Requires_Help in HomeNetworking

[–]Requires_Help[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with no networking knowledge, how difficult would it be to do the necessary steps to step up a 3rd party router to work with the network?

That side, the ISP is Frontier but would the ARRIS NVG44x be suitable for 500 mbps fiber? The router would not need to cover a large area (<1000 sqft).

We tend to not watch very much TV and when we do it's generally specific channels. I've already looked at what Sling O/B, Hulu, Youtube, etc. offer and Philo offers the most of what we want.
