    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Isn't the AMD exclusive basically a Gamma with custom paint job?

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Well, since Black November/Black Friday/Cyber Monday is coming up, odds are can see some good sales on SSDs. Personally, leaning towards a monitor, but failing that, gonna grab an NVMe drive for my system and save up for a good display.

    I actually think I am missing some food from that list too. That's the scary part.

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Oh, I agree right now the price is not worth it. It really needs to come down in price a lot, and I'm talking $100-150 down in price before I would look to get it. But as I mentioned before, one huge benefit of the Optane over the 850 Evo or Pro is that it's the same performance whether the...

    True, but it's also faster transfer of textures and such. Even though loading screens wont be an issue, I can tell you transfering of textures from your disk to cache can take a bit. I RP some in SL and have it all set on my SSD and texture loading still takes a bit of time.

    Do agree right now at these prices and point, we don't need it. But if the rumors are true that Intel pretty much sponsored Citizencon and such, and all they wanted out of it was a pixel ship, I'm all for it. As many have pointed out in other threads, that's money CIG didn't have to spend on...

    Again, when you look at Sequential Read/Write speeds, its the drive just doing that. When you throw the Read into a Write sequence performance tends to take a huge hit, same going with a Write in a Read Sequence in a normal SSD or M.2 drive. Optane see's no hit when you mix it up. So...

    Citizencon 2017 - Pros & Cons

    Actually, from testing it seems that the Optane is better. Same performance if drive is full or empty, no real need for trim. Biggest thing is the que, when they do the sequential read/write it may be about the same, thing is with the Optane, from testing, you can throw in read or a write in...

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    One thing about Optane, is its still new and such. Also, just like some tech, can't just look at some particular stat and say "eh, this does it as well." Anandtech has a good review of it and the conclusion is pertinent. It's strength lies in it's queing: If you have a NVMe drive not gonna...

    Those of us not banished to the outhouse able to join (AKA we got no wife to make mad?)

    Should we buy a Pioneer for $850 for the org?

    I say we get one as an Org. Could see lots of use for this kind of ship. Also willing to toss some $$$ into a pot to get one.

    Oh no, a 2nd Monitor Thread

    The thing is, no one knows WHEN in 2018 it will be released. And I doubt its gonna go down that much.

    Oh no, a 2nd Monitor Thread

    Yeah, so many choices. If I'm gonna be spending $500 on a monitory, might as well bite the bullet and go for the XB271HK. 4k IPS and when G-Sync is enabled 75hz refresh rate. SMH. TO much info! I may just go 144hz and go from there.

    Oh no, a 2nd Monitor Thread

    Also, checking out the monitor and even Asus own site says that one is normal 60hz. As far as Frye's, don't have one near me.

    Oh no, a 2nd Monitor Thread

    So stick to TN for 4k then and not IPS?

    Ubeclown's Citizen 2016 video did not get enough attention the first time around

    If my plans go as hoped, I may hit 2018 citizencon (if its in the US). Really hope its Texas.
