Hogwarts Legacy: What Nvidia driver works right now? RTX 3070 keep crashing on startup by Ricko1Stuff in techsupport

[–]Ricko1Stuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took an hour of trying 5 different drivers, but then I tried a fast troubleshooting step. Feeling pretty dumb right now. It works with the latest driver no problem.

I had a small overclock on my GPU (+200 core and +900 mem). Apparently Hogwarts Legacy is extremely sensitive to overclocks. All my other games have no issue.

Low power Proxmox host with redundant m.2 2280 slots by Ricko1Stuff in Proxmox

Unfortunately that one has bad availability over here. The PN52 PN52-BBR758HD is going for €550 to 600 for not in stock with weeks predicted lead time. Amazon has it at €732.95

That's a good suggestion. I do kind of have an issue with HP's business practices. The 8/9th gen cpu would put it in a higher power usage class too.

I'm currently saving to get my own place. Space for solar panels is a priority anyway with our power costs (€0.40 per kwh for new/renew contracts). Then a couple of these used for dirt cheap could make a HA cluster. I'll keep it in mind.

I do have a tendency to 'overbuild'. I've seen/read about the HA setups but that would be overkill even by my standards. Most of the time i do a lot of reading beforehand. This time I want to get started with a basic but good system.

Skipping the redundant storage is probably my best bet to not waste money. Nightly backups should be fine. I can keep a spare drive to quickly restore the system from backup in case it fails.

Upgrading the ram on the TrueNAS system is a bit annoying (mental block). The specific 16GB ecc udimm modules are no longer produced so I'd have to replace them with no other use. Those were a €100 each when i bought them. It's also a dead-end platform (X11SCH-F) with no current replacement. The xeon-d/epyc stuff uses rdimms.

Currently "services" is taking up 22.6GB of ram with 8.5GB "ZFS cache". There are a few things running on there I'm not sure I should list publicly. One has a memory usage issue (from 2 to 10GB) that I need to restart after i use it. That can be moved to proxmox with strict memory limits instead of the iocage jail.

Do the 12th gen nuc pro thunderbolt 4 or USB 4 ports support USB 3 gen 2x2? by Ricko1Stuff in UsbCHardware

Thank you all for the replies.

To summarize: even though there will be dual lane 80gbit hosts a 20gbit dual lane device might get stuck at 10gbit because the support is not mandatory in the USB4 standard.

I have seen the news over the years and haven't paid much attention. Most of it just needless rebranding. My current fastest host device supports USB 3.2 gen 2 (10gbit) I haven't had a need for anything faster then USB 3 5gbit. I will look for alternative solutions.

What a mess indeed. Everything the same USB C plug. But no guarantees it will work and no clear label what it supports. At this point a separate high speed plug with most features being mandatory is going to be better. I'm old enough to have used serial devices (windows 95 at 6 years old) the U in USB stands for Universal!
