980? Do you mean 880? Or is nVidia skipping the 800 series and going right to the 900 series? edit: Looks like that is the case, weird. http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-geforce-gtx-980m-geforce-gtx-970-geforce-gtx-970m-3dmark-firestrike-performance-numbers-unveiled/ Looks like the 970, which is as fast as the…
My thoughts: -Skip the blu-ray. -I think you can safely spend less on RAM. eg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231442 -RAM is easy to upgrade later. You can start with 8GB, and leave two slots available for future upgrades. eg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231440 I'm not…

No matter what output settings I set for the output nodes, the incorrect gamma stays the same as long I use png as export format. There is no setting for 16 or even 8 bit sRGB, and linear didn't do the trick either. and after looking up what Quixel uses for their materials, I figured that the issue has to do with the…
Necropost and Hijack! Sorry to bring this up but there are so many threads of laptops suggestions that I'd feel bad for creating a new one. I'm buying my very first laptop as I'm moving to Poland in a few months, and I'll use it mainly for 3D work. I saw your sugestion of the HP HDX16, but reading the portuguese HP site…
I would go for the 2600/2700 honestly. Your CPU should be the most expensive part of your build, and you should always buy more CPU than you need, because it is generally not economical to upgrade your CPU later down the line. name bench price 2700k 9309 $309 2600k 9080 $289 2500k 6723 $219 8GB will be fine, but 16GB is…
Actually that page plus all of the thumbnails is less than 5 MB. That's about as much as one or two streamed MP3s. It's not a super heavy page. Mind you, it could still be a lot smaller if the images used more compression since it is all greyscale: And you could use online compression tools like…
Modeled that some time ago, didn't really get to doing anything in the last few weeks. That new job (no, not a dream job, not even close but I don't want to have "unemployed for 6 months waiting for the next semester" in my CV plus the money is better than my last job (320 being a soldier 24/7 vs. 800 being a worker…
