I'm having difficulties deciding which flavor conspiracy theory -site article this is about. Or do I get to pick?

Feel free to elaborate. I'm not holding my breath on it though.

One of the worst plagues of human mind is fear for failure. Another great is fear for the unknown. Lots of combined fears in this thread. edit: sunday morning induced typos

Said a caveman to another when they saw a fellow use fire to cook food.

CRISPR babies is the future. Genetic manipulation of the human species - besides cultivated organisms - is the only way we will get better than this sorry state we are in now. Now if they would find the genetic defects that allow existence of superstitions (bye bye religion) and moronic...

XPoint RAM? Nice! All things DRAM has been awfully boring for 10 years already.

That die on the right is Kepler GK110 from 2012, not Volta. :rolleyes:

Got a vanilla Palit GTX1060 6GB here. It replaced a GTX470 1280MB that started to flake out. Had a GTX970 for a short time back in hmmm... ...whenever they were released... but got rid of it as I had no use for it. And I was not impressed by it - for a number of reasons.

Favorite GPU? G92. Owned a few of this type of chippery. One 8800GT 512MB I vmodded 'n' OC'ed until it was dead. Burned (!) the VRMs while torturing the poor thing. Thus came in a 8800GTS 512MB which ended up being strapped with vGPU, vMEM and OCP. Shader core reached blistering >2.4GHz until...

SSD reliablity? Excellent. In my experience. I've been using SSDs for over 8 years now and both of 'em still work. First an OCZ (now retired [60GB]) and a Samsung. For what it's worth.

Looking forward to spamming this thread once my SLA printer arrives (some time 4Q16)... =P~

Incorrect - and it would be irrelevant even if it were true. The ROPs are disabled.

I'm prolly too lazy to bother to return my card but it looks like I did not get what was advertised and what I paid for: - 64ROPs ===> 56ROPs - 4GB VRAM, 256bit ===> 3.5GB L1 VRAM, 224bit + ½GB L2 VRAM, 32bit The matter of the number of ROPs is not concrete. Knowing the truth doesn't...

Ack! The fannage is annoying my ears - at idle! I'm so pampered by ten years of watercooled silenced computing... Luckily, the mounting hole dimensions are the same as on my retired GTX 470s so muffling the bugger is only matter of poking it silly with a screw driver.
