general

The cards have been loose in a box in my basement for a year the fact that even 1 of them works is impressive

oh the gpu doesn't appear in the resource monitor

didn't realize

(they look like EVGA cards)

which I've found to be pretty durrable

I think theyre msi

One of them has no brand markings on it at all

Just nvidia

interesting

The other iirc was msi

I think theyre the shitty 2gb models too

what's the scaling for memory for 2-way SLI?

I remember 3-way you took a hit to the total available vRAM

Its 2gb of useable

Doesn't add the 2+2, just remains 2

it might for 2-way

Ive used them in the past, i get 2gb of vram while in sli

Or 4 when i have them set to be independent

ok, so it's the same

I couldn't remember, it's been a while since I've done anything with SLI

and I don't even want to look into NVlink

Its what fucked me when i bought them because they were advertised as 4gb sli cards, which the ppl selling them dont know how sli works

So i ended up with 2 2gb cards and not 2 4gb cards

no wonder they've been sitting in a box for so long

Yea theyre useless

I mean, is PhysX was still a thing, you could use them for that

Couldnt even get my money back because i got them through ebay and they protect sellers over buyers

Physx cards are a meme, most of the time they did nothing

The Boys is apparently a good show like everyone says

Is there a good win10 debloat tool

No

I think the last one i tried didnt work

not really

they're all kinda shitty now

tried a bunch recently

^

I know on my main pc

I got fed up with windows and nuked all its abilities to update or do anything

Which isnt great for security

my best recommendation is using that one window site that I can't remember, they have a super windows customization program that has quick options to tons of settings

I dont even have spectre or meltdown slowdown patches anymore

the debloat tools are just scripts you run once

most of them don't work anymore leg

or are just kinda shitty as

windows will fuck it up somehow

I just manually disabled a ton

There was one i got that did work

the only ones i would recommend, are the ones for windows apps

Idr what it was called

did that old hosts program work for you Max?

here reggie

might work

that barely works leh

leg

and program?

you mean the site itself?,

ok i haven't debloated a pc in years

That's the host list i updated to yeah, but it blocked one thing stupid so I had to fix it ir that's what you meant

you can disable windows stuff now but you used to be able to delete them entirely

waiting for

windows 11

LTSB

or LTSC

OS as a Service

big scam hype

?

windows is transitioning to Operating Systems as a service instead of a product

I would not be surprised if windows 11 never happened and everything was just updates to win10

ah

eh

I'll wait for the next LTSB/C then

There will 100% be a Win11

and it will have a yearly subscription

They can't deploy the kernal upgrades they'd need to modernize the OS

Actually, I'd bet they make it free

d a t a

Windows store + ads + data

free for users who want it

businesses have to pay
