found out a buddy runs a DCS World server and wants me to do VR with him. My CPU and GPU are more than fine to run it but I'm right at the recommended 16gigs of Ram requirements. I'm going to double it to the 32 gigs that the heavy missions require.

If I'm right at the requirements of 32 gigs of Ram, will me streaming cause issues? My OBS only shows the level of CPU usage.

Probably going to buy 2 16's to be safe

nah this guy is big in the broadcasting and racing world in Australia.

Which is gonna make it real weird with the time difference. One of us will probably be drunk as shite on stream. Just depends on what time of the day it is.


btw I just went ahead and bought the 2 16's. Came out to $123 total and arrives saturday.

next question....whats a good VR rec?

RIP Intel

ARM is currently owned by SoftBank group, a giant Japanese holding company previously featured on Ars for buying Boston Dynamics, buying Sprint, and buying stakes in Uber and GM's Cruise. SoftBank bought ARM for $32 billion in 2016, and since then, ARM has only gotten more powerful. ARM doesn't manufacture chips; instead, it sells IP based on the ARM CPU architecture in the form of its in-house Cortex CPU designs or licenses to design whatever you want using ARM's instruction set.

They conveniently left out Softbank's involvement with WeWork.

Indeed.

Intel's 7nm is Broken, Company Announces Delay Until 2022, 2023

Samsung is also really struggling with 5nm per reports.

Meanwhile TSMC full steam ahead full production of 5nm this year and 5nm+ next year. 4nm and 3nm right around that corner too.

You dont see Intel stock plummet like it did yesterday, from $60-ish to $52 with a snap of a finger. Ouch. They have been asleep at the wheel far too long.

7nm desktop chips might not hit till 2023 and 10nm wont even be here till late next year (According to Intel)...meanwhile AMD about to launch 2nd gen 7nm chips in a couple months and moving to 5nm next year

So... I just realized I have a $100 Best Buy Gift card and Best Buy is running a 10% off promo through September on certain items...

That means I could get a brand new 2070 Super for around $350. Worth it? Or wait for new Nvidia cards?

go for it.

I'm always of the mind set that if you're always waiting for new tech, you'll never have anything

If you aren't buying Big Ampere 102s, then yeah, go for it.

I'd wait. Just a couple months and the new offerings from both are large leaps. 7nm+ is a good jump from 7nm both CPU and GPU wise.

I agree with this statement usually but being so close to basically 3 major launches I would just wait it out. Arent the GPU upgrades supposed to be pretty huge?

Can he get 2070 super performance for $350? That remains to be known, so don't wait on speculation and get what you can now
