  1. Since using the new monitor with displayport I discovered that I get a sharp static shock when I touch the computer cabinet and the radiator at the same time, it builds up instantly too. If I lift my finger from the case after the charge has dissipated and put it down again I get another one. a frequent occurence since I like to rest my feet on the radiator. I noticed that the power cord for the monitor doesn't have the usual three prongs where one is earth I think. Not really sure if that relevant for static and whether that even works with Danish power fittings and in any case shouldn't I be using the power cable that came with the monitor. I have extra three pronged ones though. I'm about to change out both my gfx for the new 1070, the displayport cable for a shorter one which also came with the monitor and the power cord. Really hope that makes a difference.
  2. Welcome to 4 years ago console people. It's great innit.
  3. He's running for president, if he can't handle a reporter without looking like a special needs case he's in trouble.
  4. So yeah, Monitor is absolutely gorgeous. Doesn't scale well though. Gonna get a 1070.
  5. I've had youtube videos go, as in the media window disappears, after a video post has been up a while. Then I viewed the same topic on another computer where I wasn't logged in and it would be there. Odd. Or maybe just a fluke.
  6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDlYhEWwM1A Maybe a youtube setting ?. They want you to go to youtube rather than watch it in a window. If you use the link function in the control panel it should still work, but with no media window.
  7. And me

    The Cops are not doing a bang up job on the PR side that's pretty clear. Heavy handed tactics and so on. On the other hand there is an element of romanticism being tapped here that is not really relevant. This is not wounded knee. There is not necessarily a clear line from this to every injustice suffered by native Americans.

    Well alright.

    It seems a bit far fetched that a pipeline should 'threaten the water supply'. I'm going to go ahead and assume that they know how to build one that doesn't leak. There have been pipelines under the great lakes since 1950s. Those are the main open water reservoirs in the US.
  11. If I stay with 4k and a 60hz screen for a long time, which is likely (I might get a 144 hz monotor for gaming but that will just be HD) I won't gain anything more once I have a stable 60 fps. Does the 1080 make sense in that context. Maybe 1070 SLI and I get the second card when it has dropped in price.

    It's a pipleline. You gotta learn to pick your battles.

    James Cameron. You gotta find their tree. These people live in trees, then send in a desillusioned former marine in disguised as 1/24th Navajo.
  14. whats remastered about it ? I thought it was just the 'mods for consoles' version.
  15. I'm not sure if that's because the movie is from before people obsessed about showing brands. I mean the Snow cat has Catarpillar written on it, but did they get a check for that. I doubt it.
  16. When you say 'high' settings how close is that to a stable 60fps.
  17. And now I feel sick. Toked on that thing a bit too heavily I guess.
  18. In an attempt to prolong life I have joined the ranks of the vapers. I will be observed in quarentIne in an interim period for possible personality changes.
  19. I'm vacillating on the 1070. I mean it can do 4k, but for a 4k gaming card it doesn't seem like it will last me that long. I'm gonna wait and see if the Benq scales well. What's next in the upcomming GPU offerings ?
  20. 1070 is probably best performance vs price. Diminishing returns start with the 1080. If you are happy to game in HD for the foreseeable future the don't get anything more than an RX 470. That's like half the cost of a 1070.
  21. If this is true, and noise claims are always a bit unreliable, I should be golden. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1070_Gaming_X/23.html
  22. Well neither does my current card, it's still really noisy at load. I could just buy the cheapest I can find and put a custom cooler on it but my CPU cooler makes the top PCI slot a difficult fit, the lower slot, which I'm using now, is not ideal for airflow. There are too many cables with thick insulation near the exhaust that I can't reroute. I'm sure that's part of my problem. Really I just need the card to not go very far above 60c at load and most 1070 fortunately dont. MSI and Asus (probably more) have versions with three fans rather than two and slightly overclocked ram. I could dial that back a bit and if I'm lucky that will be the sweet spot.
  23. what because it's in your contract now
  24. So what gtx 1070. Quiet is good.
  25. This movie doesn't have a happy ending. Jhon Carpenter looked at the test screening results and just went 'no, I like it better the way I created it'. It wasn't reedited by 10 different companies all trying to score best with focus groups. It doesn't have any 'fake awesome', you know what I mean, the high notes that are just there to check the boxes. There are no product placement scenes. It doesn't have sensory overload CGI action scenes. It is a good movie.
