To be fair though, those old processors has got the job done pretty fine, it's always been about fuel and propulsion, the cost required to launch something into space. Have a more powerful computer (which isn't as easy as slapping any new computer into the craft), would not improve that situation at all. New satellites are…
@ Surfa, Bek: Thanks for the technical details. Now it is easier to think about problem. @ IchII3D, NinthJake: Thanks for sharing experience. I'll think about those. To further detail it down I think todays graphics cards ( for PC's I mean) suffer from speed ( processing power) , not from enough memry. I usually see a lot…
Im not sure what this blender cycles stuff is , but offline render engines use your CPU (and ram) to get their images, not the GPU. The gpu is only for the viewport. There are 1-2 exeptions but nothing you will have heard off and only archviz/movie stuff, so im pretty sure you only need CPU power. The most important thing…
1GB, your fine for VRAM. 1GB in most cases is the high end version, 512MB being the mainstream. You could Crossfire it but I don't think its the best solution. Like I said, the power of these programs is mostly in the CPU, if you can find something about the program using the graphics card processing or OpenCL then it…
"Alpha, Rita's escaped. Recruit teenages with ATTITUDE." hahahaha fucking power rangers. Duck Tales had the best intro... Question: There's 2 shows that I didn't see in here. The one with Wayne Gretsky and Bo Jackson... or was that cereal? What about that show with robots that all had different traits. One played golf,…
The concern is that South Korea will wipe North Korea off the map, not the other way around. Many electronics will work fine with a simple plug adapter. Check the labels to make sure. Some electronics (computers for example) will require you to open the case and flip a switch on the power supply tho, so just because…
3D: The power "brick" gets hot, fire comes from things that get hot. I'll let you do the rest of the math =P The 360 suffers from the same problem. As for the xbox over heating, thats kind of old news I had a recall for two of the power cord thingies about a year ago. Now that the 360 is out I might consider modding teh…
[ QUOTE ] HISTORY LESSONThe Checks and Balances system of seperate powers was used in the Constitution to prevent total control of one person's reign, as demonstrated by the king of britain at the time. Instead, they gave each branch of our government certain powers over each other. The three branches were kept for over…
I sort of hesitate to post this, but here we go. Anyways, I made a fake artstation account and conducted a test to get some numbers. First, as a baseline I'm taking numbers from a recent piece I did with my normal account. I have about 3000 artstation followers. When I post something, artstation sends out a variety of…
Hey guys, So I just graduated from my Architecture degree (first class honours :) ) and I've had the wonderful luxury of free software for the past few years. The time has now come for me to drop some cash on commercial versions of software and I'm just trying to line up the most appropriate and powerful options. Firstly,…
