I find myself wondering, given that a partial mobilization has been ordered, does this effectively mean that a state of partial war has also been declared? 🤔

He probably lost the access codes to some top-secret briefcase while distracted by the morning paper on the rooftop, and now everyone is scrambling to find them. 😲 🤣

Interestingly enough, that facility actually falls under the jurisdiction of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation. ☕

Given the sheer volume of "accidental" mishaps occurring to Russians since this special operation kicked off—whether on the front lines or just happening in high-rise offices—I suspect we might see "having the luck of a Russian" become a common idiom for incredible misfortune quite soon. 😲🙏

Here is the situation I’m facing. My main workstation is located on the first floor, but there are times when I need to be in another room on the same level—about fifteen feet away. I have a spare keyboard, mouse, and monitor sitting right there, and my goal is to set them up upstairs so I can control my primary PC from that distance, ideally without dealing with any frustrating lag.
Is there a reliable way to pull this off without having to shell out money for an entirely new computer system?
As far as hardware goes, I have some network switches and powerline adapters lying around, and there is also a somewhat mediocre computer upstairs that I assume could handle receiving a video stream. 🤔

EDIT: Honestly, I wouldn't even mind running some cables across the floor if I had to, though we're talking about a fifteen-meter trek here.

wiredotter14 said:Are you referring to the Nvidia Titan XP (the so-called Nvidia XP) or the Nvidia Titan X (Pascal)? 😁😁

The Nvidia Titan X is a Pascal Titan, and while the Nvidia Titan XP is also a Pascal Titan, it's just a bit more powerful.
Maxwell architecture cards have GeForce GTX in their name, making them weaker—which sounds like what you were describing with that 980Ti.

The nomenclature is an absolute mess, isn't it? But you made a good point; one really needs to be certain which specific model we are discussing. 😁

I had a feeling that question would catch up with me eventually. It certainly wasn't the XP, since that’s the powerhouse of the group, so I’m leaning toward it being Pascal. As for Maxwell, I recall seeing it often referred to simply as "Titan" rather than "Titan X," though perhaps my memory is failing me. 🤔

EDIT: I finally dug through my old emails to check.

Palit Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X 12GB GDDR5
I actually owned two of them, and I retired the previous one ages ago—the one that specifically had "Maxwell" in its name. 🤔
If it helps anyone at all, I bought it back in mid-2015.

I’ve got a Titan X graphics card sitting around that I just don't have any use for anymore. Is there actually any value left in it these days?

The HDMI port on your motherboard is tied directly to the integrated graphics. You'll likely need to dive into your BIOS first just to enable it—unless, of course, you're unsure if your PCI card and integrated graphics can even play nice together at the same time—and once that's sorted, you'll have to head into your audio settings to actually route the sound through it.

Look, if you actually have an AV receiver sitting there, the simplest fix is just to run both your PC and your monitor through it using HDMI cables. Alternatively, you could link the receiver directly to your graphics card via HDMI and then plug your monitor into the card using a DVI or DisplayPort connection instead. Once you dive into your sound settings and tell the system to route the audio through the GPU, everything should theoretically fall into place without any drama. :coffee:
Of course, if you’re looking for a third option, you could always just go out and buy a second graphics card or pick up a dedicated multi-channel sound card.

A buddy of mine is running an old RTX 30 xx—honestly, he can’t even remember the exact model 😁—hooked up via DisplayPort to a 4K monitor. The issue is that his screen occasionally just cuts out entirely... it's rare, maybe once a day, where everything goes black for about two or three seconds before flickering back to life. This has been happening consistently for nearly two years now, ever since he first paired this card with the monitor.
Does anyone have any insight into what the typical culprits might be here? We don't exactly have a spare DisplayPort cable on hand to run a quick test right now...

Timothy Kim60 said:To being the cheapest option that actually supports 60Hz is a point, isn't it? Those even older, bottom-of-the-barrel cards—like the Nvidia GT 720—often struggle to push anything beyond a mere 30Hz.

Oh, absolutely, it’s non-negotiable. I once tried to force myself to stare at a 30Hz refresh rate, and let me tell you, it was an utterly unbearable experience.

Timothy Kim60 said:I mean, any card will suffice if we aren't talking about gaming, right?🤷
If you don't have integrated graphics, you just click

Well, look at that. I was scouring the market for those cheaper fanless models and couldn't find a single one equipped with a DisplayPort. 🤔 😁
There's no integrated graphics here. 😉

I'm looking for some solid advice on which graphics card might actually handle driving a single 4K monitor via DisplayPort without breaking a sweat.
Budget: whatever the cheapest option is that won't break the bank.
Performance requirements: I just need it to be smooth enough so there isn't any stuttering or lag during basic tasks in Windows, and more importantly, it needs to be whisper-quiet—dead silent, if we're being ambitious about it.
Gaming: Not a priority at all; I don't plan on playing anything.

I am currently on the hunt for a general practitioner, preferably located around the West Side of New York City. 🙏

P.S. And, of course, they actually need to be accepting new patients.

Timothy Kim60 said:A new generation should be hitting the market within nine months, so you might want to consider selling now.

Mhm. Honestly, I’m not pulling the trigger on anything new until I find a card that can actually handle 4K at 100Hz on ultra settings. Everything being released these days feels like the exact same mediocre garbage, doesn't it? 😬

Hey there. Ugh, honestly, I thought I’d priced this thing quite aggressively, but perhaps it’s better to just settle things now before the value completely evaporates into thin air, wouldn't you agree? 😬

I've got a couple of GTX Titan X 12 GB cards that I'm looking to part ways with. I picked them up back in 2015, and they're the older version—so, definitely not the Pascal architecture or anything like that. They haven't been overclocked, nor have they been pushed particularly hard over the years. What would you say is a realistic asking price for these these days?

Terry Scott65 said:The side and top fans are definitely pulling in cold air, but honestly, I’m still a bit skeptical about the front one; since it’s positioned right at the bottom of the chassis and there's such a massive gap between the front mesh and the actual fan, plus that front panel has such a wide grill, I can barely tell if it’s even drawing air in or pushing it out.

The side intake should be pulling air inward.
The top should be exhausting it out.
And the front? That needs to be an intake.

Also, let's be real—you really ought to upgrade from that basic stock cooler.

In which direction are the fans actually blowing?

Normabel. 😬
Then there are the much more accessible routes, such as magnesium supplements and regular sports massages.
