the worst part of collecting ancient GPUs is how they progressively harder and harder to boot on modern systems.

I finally manage to get back into RAM testing just in time for it to cost 3x what it used to

I want to test some of the new Micron ICs....

I don't want to pay 9900X money for them.

You’ve heard of bits. Maybe even Trits.



What about Quats (base-4)? 



It’s actually heavily used in VRAM, high speed networking (think 800G ethernet), and the PCIe 6.0 spec. 



PAM4 is a neat little physics trick to squeeze out more bandwidth.

Microslop is so good at making software that a 13900K makes windows 11 feel slower than win 8.1 on an haswell i7 laptop does.

yeah except I had a PCI-e card that I constantly had to un-plug and re-plug HDMI sources into because it would regularly decide that i just doesn't feel like recognizing them. I'm pretty sure USB vs PCI-e has nothing to do with that. The mega cheap USBs with crap colors detect and swtich super fast

the last avermedia card I tried would just refuse to capture things after a few cycles of BIOS >> windows >> 3Dmark. IDK if they got better and handling constant resolution changes and sources coming and going.

the last avermedia card I used couldn't handle repeated BIOS >> windows >> 3Dmark cycles. The constant resolution changes would eventually lead to the card just not capturing anything.

So I bought ANOTHER capture card.... (because the super cheap one had messed up colors)

Well this one is BLURRY AS FUCK at 1080p:
WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I JUST GET GOOD 1080p 60 capture. I DON'T GIVE 2 shits about 4K whatever.

no CEP doesn't reduce the excessive VID requests. CEP acts more like a braking mechanism if the CPU's current draw pulls the output voltage too low.
