._. fun Apparently my raspberry pi is reslient to testing and not actual power trips.

I really need to boot it off NFS instead but that's another project to the pile

Speaking of home servers...

this looks fun

Is that an ethernet on the USB host?

Journeyman Geek

I think its for space. I suspect that's a fairly common layout for IPMI

Really, really cool. They're using bench power supplies to drive water pumps, in order to generate a precisely controlled volume of simulated rainfall.

Trying to remember all the Turing GPUs (64 CUDA cores to an SM)...

- RTX 2080 Ti: TU102, 68 of 72 SMs
- RTX 2080: TU104, 46 of 48 SMs
- RTX 2070: TU106, 36 of 36 SMs
- RTX 2060: TU106, 30 of 36 SMs
- GTX 1660 Ti: TU116, 24 of 24 SMs

By Ysmir, that was a lot to memorize.

As for Pascal (128 CUDA cores to an SM)...

- GTX 1080 Ti: GP102, 28 of 30 SMs
- GTX 1080: GP104, 20 of 20 SMs
- GTX 1070: GP104, 17 of 20 SMs
- GTX 1060 6GB: GP106, 10 of 10 SMs
- GTX 1060 3GB: GP106, 9 of 10 SMs
- GTX 1050 Ti: GP107, 6 of 6 SMs
- GTX 1050: GP107, 5 of 6 SMs
- GT 1030: GP108, 3 of 3 SMs

(TITAN cards and mobile variants are not included in the above)

Hennes

64 shades of CUDA to a SM?

bwDraco

I haven't been paying much attention to the tech specs of these GPUs since Turing came out.

Maxwell (128 CUDA cores to an SMM):

- GTX 980 Ti: GM200, 22 of 24 SMMs
- GTX 980: GM204, 16 of 16 SMMs
- GTX 970: GM204, 13 of 16 SMMs
- GTX 960: GM206, 8 of 8 SMMs
- GTX 750 Ti: GM107, 5 of 5 SMMs
- GTX 750: GM107, 4 of 5 SMMs

I got a GTX960 collecting dust somewhere and a GTX1080 which was surprisingly cheap 6 months ago (yet technically still above planned budget for both that and upgrades to SSD stoage)

Journeyman Geek

you don't need to memorise them though....

@bwDraco where is that evidence?

Burgi

huh...

how weird, my cookies had seemed to magically delete themselves

@JourneymanGeek are you able to action that tag synonym thing?

Journeyman Geek

... well technically since I'm back...

could you refresh my memory?

tag synonyms are pretty horrible to mess up, so I want to be careful, but I'll take a look ;)

Burgi

Q: Extending the range of wireless-extender

Is it possible to get the tag range-extender converted to a synonym of wireless-extender? The questions in each category seem to be talking about extending the range of wireless signals. What does everyone think to this idea?

to be fair it was only yesterday

i thought i had posted it on monday

so i'll stand down on my antsiness

sorry!

Journeyman Geek

11:05

Done!

Its ok. I thought today was friday

djsmiley2k

omfg why won't windows download the dotnet3.5 files >_<

why does the offline installer want to go online and 'download' files?!

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO STUPID.

Error is 0x800f081f if anyone is interested xD

@FMLCat a real mood.

Now let's wait for you to get flagged.

Journeyman Geek

12:32

Let's not

@FMLCat Language!

FML Cat

12:50

Oh lol

Yeah my server was displaying incomprehensible characters

Burgi

dude, don't poke the ~~bear~~ dog

Journeyman Geek

@FMLCat people have gotten flagged and in trouble. I'd suggest you not tempt fate.

Rahul literally knows this, and mentioned it.

FML Cat

Jan 30 at 18:27, by rahuldottech

Pardon my french but... HOLY FUCK

Burgi

none of us like the change

Journeyman Geek

@FMLCat and he literally could have someone flag it, months later.

FML Cat

12:57

shrug

Journeyman Geek

but hey, if you really love tempting fate, and messing with something that works reasonably well, and making certain tourists happy... sure.

I don't like censoring people. I don't like having people randomly getting suspended when they should know better either.

FML Cat

shrug

Hey its not your fault

It's just the direction stackechange is going

The powers that be

djsmiley2k

^^ Tis dumb but alas.

Journeyman Geek

13:21

Actually, its been the rules for ages - chat's been relaxed.

djsmiley2k

Chat is the ugly stepchild that they don't want to even think about.

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k Chat's me.

Underappreciated, and very useful ;p

FML Cat

13:49

@JourneymanGeek should I flag rahuldottech's message?

Journeyman Geek

I'll probably go clean up when no one's looking

But if we know its a problem, yanno

Burgi

14:05

i'm going to go to the logical conclusion of this discussion...

does this mean you have to purge all historic instances of "go forth and multiply"?

Journeyman Geek

hopefully not

But I do think we can deal with this like adults?

Burgi

FLAGGED! for using the "a" word

Journeyman Geek

technically?

It won't affect me

Burgi

;)

Journeyman Geek

Other folks having trouble does

Burgi

14:12

its like those people who try to censor mark twains stories and remove the N word

Journeyman Geek

It isn't ideal

Burgi

i really don't think they should as the stories should be allowed to stand in their historical context. people used to say that word.

perhaps if you reading the tom sawyer aloud to a child you might want to self censor, atleast until they are old enough to understand the context and the consequences

Journeyman Geek

Well, some people are...

Burgi

btw, i am in no way saying that RA chat is a literary masterpiece on par with mark twain but i feel the point stands....

Journeyman Geek

nope. But I'm also not going to pull out a copy of satanic verses in Iran

allquixotic

14:22

TIL RA = Iran

clings to Matrix

Journeyman Geek

naw. random flaggers are the moral police though.

Burgi

we can haz nukes?

Journeyman Geek

I will totally swear a lot on matrixx as appropriate

But here - well

Y'all know what's happened. It feels like a reasonable compromise

Someone flagged "fart"? God, such a snob

Huh. GeForce GTX 1660 Ti typically performs at 95-115% of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti (@JourneymanGeek), at about half the card power.

anandtech.com/bench/product/2429?vs=2141

And 90-105% of the GTX 1070. However, the Turing card performs substantially better in a handful of games, such as Wolfenstein II, that use FP16 shaders. These games have historically favored Radeon Vega cards, but Turing has substantial improvements in FP16 capability that give it a massive edge in such games.

anandtech.com/bench/product/2429?vs=2147

The RTX stuff is just too expensive for a modest improvement over what I have. I can't justify spending $1,200 for an RTX 2080 Ti when it only performs at 110% to 130% of the GTX 1080 Ti (though again, substantially higher in games that use FP16 shaders).

Nordlys Jeger

20:59

I'm happy with my GTX 980 TI for gaming and other workloads

Michael Frank

21:58

Yea, my 560Ti is perfect for what I need to do.

Journeyman Geek

22:37

My 980 is probably being kept for now :p

Journeyman Geek

23:09

The 1660 looks interesting buuuut

Not a priority for now

bwDraco

I'm waiting for NVIDIA to come out with a 7nm solution.

Journeyman Geek

Hm. iOS us

Hm. iOS is on version 11 right?

@bwDraco my GPU is the newest part of my build

And pretty much I am upgrading hardware because my mothboard appears to be slowly dying

And I want a smaller desktop if I rebuild, and probably keep the current case for a future project when I have $$$$

Michael Frank

23:39

@JourneymanGeek 12.1.4 is the latest.

Journeyman Geek

23:53

Ah ok

The new router has a fast roaming feature that won't work with it. We don't have any iOS devices but visitors might
