This gives me the same kind of willies that I got when Microsoft announced they were moving from their own compiler suite to LLVM. Both are obvious ploys...

My understanding is that BIOS modding has so far been a no-go due to a new bios signature/encryption system in Vega implemented for security reasons....

I get the distinct feeling that this name change fiasco is going to end the same way as when Prince tried to change his name to a symbol that didn't even...

[L_A_G]

You do realize that names for things can be more than a single word? You really don't lose any information when you use a whole sentence or two to describe...

[L_A_G]

Would be nice if AMD had a new name for the DAL/DC codebase rather than just telling people not to call it DAL or DC anymore. Having to write "The...

[L_A_G]

I guess that pretty much settles it then... I'm getting an AIB Vega 56 with better cooling as soon as I can find one at a non-pricegouged price.
...

[L_A_G]

A bit of a shame that they delayed the Vega 56 launch to two weeks after the 64 launch, but at least that gives you more than enough time to make an educated...

Let's see...

- Obduction (the new game from the people who made Myst)
- Redout
- Doom (2016)
- Fallout 4
- Wreckfest...

Seeing how Epic had finally gotten it's third party licensing going pretty well and id Tech being somewhat difficult to work (GoldSrc was a hard fork...

[L_A_G]

That's a problem then because actual miners don't use either and tweak their cards more than anyone except extreme overclockers (those people who use...

[L_A_G]

I assume Michael ran cards with their out-of-the-box clocks and standard BIOS? That's the only way these numbers make any kind of sense even when you...

[L_A_G]

Not much of a point in that if you ask me seeing how whenever he makes mistakes like typos when writing an article, the first comment will always list...

[L_A_G]

You do realize that he didn't actually offer that as a solution? There's a difference between doing something to debug a problem and doing that to actually...

[L_A_G]

Yes Oracle, we know your name stands for "One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison" already... You don't need to continue showing people what it...

[L_A_G]

I intentionally didn't count HP-UX, Solaris, AIX and other OS's that are essentially or literally on life support. Not sure why you'd include a company...

[L_A_G]

Come again? The only way you can have more control than you have on Linux is if you develop your own OS and the only hardware vendors that still develop...

[L_A_G]

Would have liked to see the Vega 56 priced maybe $50 lower, but even at that price it definitely seems like something worth looking into despite the constant...

[L_A_G]

There's generally two ways to look at the WSL...

The first and the most obvious one is that it's a pure Embrace, Extend, Extinguish play...

[L_A_G]

Nothing to do with the dedicated RNG hardware? It was literally a bug in how said hardware accessed made by the compiler devs. This literally wouldn't...

[L_A_G]

Good job Adobe... Except you should probably have done this at least a decade ago. Flash was cancer well before Steve Jobs trashed it in his public letter....
