I'm interested in doing this. Are you using drivers from here, or others?...

[sharpjs]

Judging by how fast previous generations of AMD mobile CPUs have made it into the hands of consumers, "available Q1 2024" means "purchasable...

I bought a 7960X for ECC, PCIe lanes, and memory bandwidth. I could make do with a much-less-capable machine, but I don't want to. It's my work machine....

Michael, can you tell us whether the Asus motherboard's super-I/O chip (sensors for fans, temperatures, etc.) is fully recognized by lm_sensors?
...

[sharpjs]

Any subjective differences on noise?

edit: FWIW, I have the prior generation of the NH-U14S in a Torrent Compact for a 2950X, and it’s...

The compiles I run benefit from multicore up to a point, but then are IO- or frequency-dependent. That also tracks with my other workload, which is large...

[sharpjs]

Ordered a 7960X myself. I predict it will slot right in between the 7950X and 7970X.

Thanks for setting us straight, agd5f.

I believe the The NU-U14S TR5-SP6 will exhaust upwards (in most desktop cases) with both of those motherboards. Its airflow is perpendicular to the long...

[sharpjs]

The new TR boards so far all rotate the socket 90 degrees from what my 2950X has. The NU-U14S TR5-SP6 will exhaust upwards in a tower case, not towards...

[sharpjs]

You might find that good enough, but I did not. It was lag city for me at 4K.

I tried the straightforward graphics methods mentioned in the...

[sharpjs]

The previous post seems to have answered that exact question.



I must admit I'm an end user, not an expert in advanced virtualization....

[sharpjs]

Correct in my case. I just want to run a Windows VM with snappy desktop (not games) graphics performance on Qemu+KVM without undue hassle or limitations....

[sharpjs]

I don't think that's the case. My reading suggests that only Radeon Vxxx (sold only to hyperscalers) and maybe Instinct cards support it. I would be...

[sharpjs]

I have a NH-U14S TR5-SP6 awaiting the rest of the components for my TR 7000 build. The prior-generation NH-U14S TR4-SP3 in my current workstation cools...

[sharpjs]

I tend to feel fairly positive about MS's embracing of community, open source, and yes, even Linux. I'm not a Windows or MS hater — their dev tools...

[sharpjs]

It's worth noting these also have ECC VRAM, which the consumer cards don't, AFAIK. I'd buy one of these if it had fractional virtualization support in...

[sharpjs]

Nice! Last time I checked, GPU virtio for Windows was just someone's seemingly-abandoned proof-of-concept code that wasn't ready for real use. I've...

[sharpjs]

FWIW, somehow WSL2 (WSLg, rather) is fractionalizing the GPU. I've never taken the time to figure out how they're doing it. Having read this thread, I...

[sharpjs]

Because I was not aware of that effort, having given up on fractional GPU virtualization. I will take a look at that. If it looks viable, I will indeed...
