budget gpus are dead? but nvidia is still making xx60 cards arent they?

I think of the 60's as "mid range", when I point at budget I'm usually thinking of the class of GPU that isn't really up to running its contemporary games at high. The 10/20/3060 have been solid middle of the road options, budget is stuff that's closer to $150-200 adjusted for like, eh call it 2016, like the 750Ti, RX460, 1050Ti, 1650 Super, etc.

The A380 does hit this price point, but the A380 is a weird gamble by Intel, and it's notably basically matched for performance by the integrated Radeon 680M. I don't think Intel will make a battlemage system that targets this price point, instead I expect to see a Z1 competitor with Xe graphics on chip.

The prediction I made a while back was that eventually AMD would put an actually good GPU on the same silicon as their CPU and sell it as an all-in-one gaming system. I didn't call the handhelds, but that's effectively what they are, the Steam Deck and Z1 extreme handhelds as well as the various 680M equipped mini PC's are compelling budget gaming systems, and they're quite popular, almost 1% of all systems in the steam hardware survey are steam decks, there's more of them than there are 6700XT's.

hmm I can't remember if I posted about it here but I pretty much called the death of the budget dedicated GPU due to really good integrated GPUs filling that space. I think my next big gaming hardware prediction is that we might see an ARM based home console from Sony or Microsoft, perhaps even an Nvidia based setup now that they own ARM, home console, in the next couple generations.

Bioshock 2 steam crash

#BIOSHOCK 2 STEAM CRASH INSTALL#

#BIOSHOCK 2 STEAM CRASH FULL SIZE#

#BIOSHOCK 2 STEAM CRASH INSTALL#

After more hours of messing around found if I make a new MS outlook email when I signed out and asked to use my original I been using for decades, decided to just make a new MS outlook email, and it worked, and after I signed out of the new email, and signed back in with my original one, it loaded up and played NP even had the save from when my son and I was playing it through my laptop browser while we waited for my pc to install it. I also found out after fixing that problem and NEW Forza 5 problem came up telling me my profile attached to the game was no longer and coudnt be used to play that game. I actually got it to run yesterday and was sooooo happy, thought I figured it out. but do then like bioshock and wrote above. If I select the desktop ico, and not xbox app, right clicking, run as admin, the game will then not crash. Sometimes I have to go into task manager and kill it for it says not not responding.īefore forza would just die on booting game.

#BIOSHOCK 2 STEAM CRASH FULL SIZE#

The VERY moment I click on the icon or full size (BioShock) out of window mode and into full screen, my game goes away and locks up, windows explorer flashes, all desktop and taskbar icons go away and come back, but now either of the games, they have icons in the taskbar, but do nothing but allow me to right click and close windows and for the most part it just quits. The problem I been having so far with Forza 5 is the game would start, but start in the background, with a tab in the taskbar showing the game is running, and same really goes or Bioshock, starts the same way, in the background. I was just about to say f it all to windows 11, for I been going nuts since getting my tv in here so I can read text again, and playing some games. I have been fighting myself with some games on windows 11 to crash, Forza 5 and a old game which is BioShock remastered so far after redoing my room where I am now at, getting my equipment out of the old room and into here, and now got my Hisense tv hooked to my audio card, and using the 6700XT as my audio source to my tv so when I do not feel like using my Marantz I have some good Altec Lansing speakers to use in place of my tv, but not sure if you or anyone else there is having this problem, but felt what I have found fighting windows 11 new install, some games new and old, and using the 6700xt audio vs using my creative x3 going to my Marantz receiver.

Gotta practice my r-type skills tonight before I attempt to broadcast it. It’s so unforgiving. Much like life. You get hit and it’s sudden stop then back to the checkpoint. It uses a credit system for replays. The frame rate is sick on the 6700xt. It’d do great at 1080p on last years laptop with a RTX 2080 or above. I wish the frame rate in real life could keep up. People are slow to listen. too distracted to keep track unless it’s to incriminate you and all up in your business at the same time. It’s kept at bay mostly here. Can’t speak beyond the porch. I’m not too worried about that anymore. The rest of the world out there should get the message we are closed for an event. It’s nobody’s business when it starts or ends. Just a heads up the guest list is extremely limited. And I’m pretty sure nobody around here is on it. 😇

Ethermine Review: 2021 Interface| Setting Up And Connecting Farms

Earning cryptocurrencies Ethereum and Ethereum classic is possible only in mining pools. Given the high complexity of mining, lone miners, and even small mining communities, are doomed to painfully long time to decrypt a block, which significantly reduces the profitability of mining. Another thing is powerful pools, which employ tens or even hundreds of thousands of specialists. They crack Ethereum blocks like nuts, 60-70 per hour, and each miner receives a reward depending on the contribution to the common cauldron. The largest Ethereum / Ethereum Classic mountain pool is the Ethermine pool . The resource was created back in 2016 in the USA and still holds the palm in the ranking of the most popular Ethash pools, thanks to a low commission and an adequate payment system. Ethermine interface and pool registration Official site -  https://ethermine.org The Ethermine pool does not support the Russian interface, this is the only drawback of its interface. However, everything is intuitively clear anyway, and without a minimum knowledge of the English language, mining will be difficult. Main coins available for mining Welcome to Ethermine High Performance Ethereum Mining Pool. Payments are instant and you will receive ETH as soon as you reach the set payment threshold. This is the translation of the phrase on the title page of the site for Ethereum miners. Below it is a summary of the status of the pool and its benefits. Let's list in order. - Anonymous mining, that is, registration on the pool is not required. - Servers in the US, EU and Asia. - PPLNS payment scheme in real time. - Accurate reporting on hash rate. - Full payment of mining rewards (blocks and fees). - Instant transfer of earned assets. - Configurable minimum payment threshold. - Professional support - Full stratum support. - Efficient mining mechanism, low percentage of orphan blocks. - Detailed global statistics and statistics for each miner. - Email notification system, warnings of invalid promotions - Low commission (1%) - Third party apps for iOS, Android and Telegram The ETC Ethermine service is an exact copy of the ETH Ethermine pool.Important!!! Help for those who do not know what an Orphan's Block or Orphan is. An orphan does not appear due to a mistake or malicious intent of hackers. Users often use the terms “Stale” and “Orphan's Block,” referring to an orphan as a block rejected by the main chain. "Stale" happens mainly because, earlier, his twin brother, decrypted by another miner, was already enrolled in the blockchain. Such a block is called abandoned. Hackers sometimes try to create double blocks in order to destroy the cryptocurrency network. An orphan appears at the deactivated end of the blockchain. The checking nodes assumed it was the best block, but then switched to a different chain. Orphan blocks have been checked, but they are simply not active. Main coins available for mining In addition to  ETH  and  ETC , the Ethermine pool supports the mining of the Zcash cryptocurrency . This unit has its own name  zcash .flypool.org , we talked about it in a separate article. More recently, two more digital coins have been added: Beam and Ravencoin . How to set up hardware on Ethermine To work on Ethermine, rigs are suitable for both AMD and Nvidia cards. Overclocking parameters depend on both the GPU device model and the mined coin, as well as the manufacturer of the video memory chips installed on your cards. Different batches of video cards of the same model can have video memory from Samsung, Hynix, Micron or Elpida. When adjusting overclocking settings, you need to know the manufacturer of the video memory installed on each of the cards in your rig, especially if you have a GTX 1660S . Therefore, it is extremely difficult to give general recommendations for setting up equipment. It's easier to recommend mining software. To work on Ethermine, it is recommended to use crypto-mining utilities: - Phoenix Miner ; - Teamredminer ; - T-Rex ; - Lolminer; - NBminer. If you are going to mine Ether or Ether classic, use the Phoenix miner, this is a universal solution for any model of video card. The choice of utilities for Beam and RVN depends on the manufacturer of the video cards. Beam on red cards is mined with Lolminer, and RVN with Teamredminer. For mining on Nvidia graphics chips, you can use NBminer. On Ezermine, this program will come in handy in green on any coin, however, some miners prefer the T-Rex miner. It can be used to mine ETH / ETC / RVN on Nvidia cards. However, the last coin, as well as Beam, is of no interest to the green ones in the current market situation. Setting and batch file for mining ETC If you have built a farm on video cards of the GTX 1660Super level and higher, then Ether is the most profitable coin. True, if you believe the online mining profitability calculator Whattomine , then Ravencoin is more profitable for the RTX 2080, but miners rarely buy these video cards, preferring either the more budgetary GTX1660S, or the much more efficient 30-series cards. As for AMD graphics processors, their choice of a coin depends on the amount of built-in video memory. If you have RX 5600/5700 / 6700XT cards, then you need to mine Ether, and for the outdated RX 570/580 models with 4 GB of video memory, all other coins of the Ethermine pool are suitable. As of 07/02/2021, the most profitable cryptocurrency for mining on AMD 4-gig cards is ETC. But if RBN slightly increases in price, then ETC will become more profitable. In addition, ETC mining equipment heats up less than KawPow, which is very important when summer is in full swing, especially for miners from southern regions. Now let's talk in more detail about the settings of the executive file for each of the cryptocurrencies offered on this pool. Setting and batch file for mining ETH On the Ethermine service, the miner settings are very simple, you must specify in the batch file: - Program launch code. - Selected server and connection port, e.g. eu1.ethermine.org:4444 - Payment wallet address. It is recommended to leave the password value empty (Leave empty), but if you write -epasw x, the miner will still connect to the pool. An example of a Phoenix Miner batch file : PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 us1.ethermine.org:4444 -wal YourEthWalletAddress.WorkerName -proto 3 -tstop 85 Instead of ADRESS WALLET, write the billing address of your wallet, save the file with the bat extension, name it so as not to be confused and run it in the miner's folder. If the specified server fails, the miner will automatically switch to pool2. The -proto 3 parameter helps determine the type of protocol, and -tstop 85 will protect your cards from overheating. It can be set for each card separately, and then, if one or all of the fans fail on one of them, it will be removed from mining before the graphics chip falls off from overheating. Although, of course, cards in mining can get very hot for various reasons and each specific case should be considered separately.https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cu3lE7i54O4?wmode=transparent&rel=0&feature=oembed In PhoenixMiner, you can also set acceleration, target temperature, rotation speed of the propeller blades of the cooling system and other operating parameters. You can read more about the settings of the Phoenix crypto mining utility and other programs in the thematic reviews on our website. Setting and batch file for mining ETC This blockchain project experienced a 51% success rate in November 2020. To prevent the repetition of these sad events, the developers carried out a hard fork with a change in the algorithm. The coin switched from regular Ethash to the modernized Etchash protocol. All new versions of Ethereum miners work with it, you only need to specify a coin (etc) or protocol (ETCHASH) depending on the settings of a particular mining utility. The batch file for ETC Ethermine miner settings looks like this @echo off lolMiner.exe --algo ETCHASH --pool eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 --user Your ETC wallet address pause Setting and batch file for RVN mining ETH / ETC cryptocurrencies are mined on ethermine.org, all others on flypool.org, but this is the same pool. The executable file for RVN mining will look like this: teamredminer.exe -a kawpow -o stratum + tcp: // stratum-ravencoin.flypool.org:3333 -u Wallet address.Farm name -px Setting and batch file for mining Beam It is more profitable to get the Beam coin on red cards using Lolminer. Bat file example: @echo off lolMiner --coin BEAM --pool eu1-beam.flypool.org --port 3333 --user Wallet address. Farm name --tls 0 pause When drawing up a batch file, you must not miss a single detail, the absence of a dash or dot will immediately cause a failure. To see where the mistake was made, write at the end of pause. If the executable file is correctly compiled, the miner will start, otherwise the process will freeze and the reason for the failure will be indicated in the terminal. Setting and batch file for mining ZEC This coin is only mined by ASIC miners, Innosilicon A9 ++ ZMaster and Antminer Z9 . IC devices are configured through the miner control panel and usually run at factory overclocked settings. But, for Antminer Z9, a custom firmware has been created to increase mining productivity. The download link can be taken directly from the pool, page https://zcash.flypool.org/start . Payment of remuneration and commission After mining is launched, it is necessary to control the mining process. Your personal statistics will start to be displayed after about 8-10 sent shares. To see it, enter the wallet number specified in the Ethermine miner settings in the “ Address ” field in the upper right corner, and click on the “ Search ” icon . A window with your page will appear on the display, in which it will be displayed: - The miner's hashrate at the moment, as well as the average speed for the past hour and for the day. If you have just started mining the hourly and daily hash rates will be much less than the actual one, do not panic over time, the statistics will level out. - Balance. - The number of active farms. - The number of balloons sent. Payment of remuneration and commission On the Payouts page , you will see the calculation of the estimated payout. The system performs it on the basis of indicators, hourly and daily hash rates, so in the first minutes the amount will be very small. Wait until the speed for 24 hours equals the current one, and then you will see the real numbers. A preliminary calculation of profitability can be done on the WhatToMine online service. Withdraw funds Withdraw funds ETC By default, the minimum payout for ethermine org is 0.1 ETH and 0.01 ETC, which is a perfectly acceptable figure. To change the size of the automatic payment, you need to go to the “ Setting ” page in the personal statistics of the miner and select the Payment Method section . minimum payout for ethermine org is 0.1 ETH and 0.01 ETC Next select Change Threshold and make changes: - Withdrawal amount in the range from minimum to maximum. - The farm's IP address. The IP can be found on one of the online services. If you are using multiple IPs, write the one from which your rig was launched. The last 3 digits of the IP that you will enter must match the digits previously specified by the pool in the lower settings field. Click " Update Threshold " and if everything is done correctly, a green line will appear with a message that the changes have been accepted. Ethermine pool will transfer money to you automatically as soon as you reach the required amount. But even if you cannot accumulate the minimum wage in a week, the pool will pay you the amount that you have already earned. All transaction fees associated with payments on the service are paid by the pool, regardless of the amount of payments. Ethermine pool will transfer money to you automatically Reviews On the mining forums and social networks, you will see a lot of reviews about the Ethermine pool. Sometimes they complain that Ethermine is not working, you need to switch to another server or contact support. However, if, due to server failures, statistics are lost, the Ethermine pool recalculates earnings, crediting the miners with the missed hours. Throughout its history, the service has not given serious grounds for fraud charges. And the number of miners speaks for itself. If you need a reliable Ethereum / Ethereum Classic pool head over to ethermine.org. Happy mining!

People letting their gaslight show in public here with no filter now. I’m partially relieved because it’s a good excuse not to fuck with anyone ever again out here. It’s the most horrific display of lack of tact I’ve seen in awhile. Always seems to be the same silently accusing faces string back. Can’t trust it. Don’t trust it. Won’t ever trust it. Facts b. People playing that fake game with me have already lost. I’d send an anonymous tip on my behalf to the powers that be but I’m sure everybody’s busy covering for each other. Gaslighting is meant to make a person question their own reality and truth. The only thing I question right now is how 5700xt is more energy efficient than the 6700xt. And how you have the balls to think I give a fuck about what this town thinks now. 💋

#personal

I still haven't gotten my passport back yet. Old or new. I'm sure it's on the way but taking its sweet time. It hasn't been that big of a deal though it's a heavy inconvenience not being able to legally identify yourself. I have an expired driver's license and a lot of paperwork but that's not really good enough for most of Illinois. Work or leisure. I don't drink and don't really frequent bars anymore. I work for myself though I haven't paid myself yet this year. You have to have valid ID to be gainfully employed by someone else here. If I didn't have my life together already it would be more than annoying. I have health insurance still under a subsidy. I had my teeth cleaned earlier this week. No cavities. Mostly due to the electric toothbrush. I bought a waterpik right after. I've been so bored that I've started attacking problems I wanted to solve years ago. There's still drawers full of crap that needs to be thrown out. Lifetimes of shit do pile up if you are focused on other things like a dead end job or selfish personal relationships. I don't have either of those these days. So there really isn't any excuse for dirty drawers. I'm not planning to shit myself anytime soon to revisit the past. Which leaves the present and the future wide open. Much of that is dictated by my love of computers. I figured out how to mine finally. The open source way. I spent a lot of time in a terminal trying to apply the right definitions to scan my phone for the Pegasus spyware. I do think the results were negative so I'd rather not dwell on the past. Being a technological professional I have definitely spent a lot on electricity. That same idea of dirty drawers applies. You turn things on believing that they are ecologically friendly. It says so on the package. You don't dig enough to gather factual data to know it for sure. You get distracted by real life. Headlines. Drama. Nosy neighbors. The list goes on. And all the while, it just keeps bleeding out. I bought these smart plugs. Half of them monitor energy. The other half I didn't read the description close enough when I bought them. The ones that do measure electrical usage, I've set up in high power rooms. Both those and the low power rooms I can kill switch from my phone or whisper to my smart assistant to power off. I pay the electricity for the unit below me as well but that's more the agreement I have with my landlord. The biggest expense for me is always the AC and the heat. The appliances and everything else are just the icing on the cake. My rent has been affordable enough that with a little care and attention I can stay on budget. I never had that freedom or time to feel motivated enough to try. Now I know my razer laptop draws less than my rice cooker. Not that I'm the twelve hour rice in the rice cooker kind of guy. I have cooked chicken in it. What can I say I've had a lot of time on my hands. This happens when you can't identify yourself.

Sometimes you don't want to be identified. My past is so far behind me that it's a broken narrative. I've written about this narrative for years on this platform. I think it's a great place to write. This morning I saw a Tor books ad that looked like a regular blog post. Soon you'll be able to charge a subscription for your content if you wish. I'm not really here for that but I do think it's a great tool for creators. Bandcamp is still the easiest way for me to release music and shirts when I'm super fucking bored. But somehow five or six people always seem to support it when I do. I sold a shirt all the way out on the Ukraine once out of nowhere. I personally find it easier to mine and watch my electric bill right now then to fight to be seen as an artist. But situations do evolve over time under the right circumstances. And community is something I have never complained about Tumblr not having. Real life? Yes I have a lot of room to complain about the lack of community or respect for individual rights and will. But control over things is something I do have. And I've learned how to do that through setting boundaries for myself. I've learned a lot of those boundaries from being part of the culture down here. Unassuming. Anonymous. Hellbent on keeping it real. Chicago can sometimes be the same. It hasn't always been in the past. The fact that I'm completely disconnected from it is a large clue. The past. Not Chicago. I live here. Just like I do on Tumblr. That's a joke. But being able to write and stand my ground has given me a voice here and sometimes in the real world. Sometimes the wrong people listen. Or people get the wrong idea and make it more about them than me. But life goes on. If anything is true from what I wrote about a year ago, it's that I've both changed and stayed the same. There's things I can't escape about myself. Even if I can't prove to the state of Illinois I'm real enough to buy legal weed. Or how I've been fully vaccinated since April. Or how I can just leisurely set up a mining rig for research in my home office. How I can write here and challenge the status quo just by being the exception. Tumblr probably isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. I can't unlock any of my other social media from the past due to unfortunate circumstances related to identity and email. Not that I'm really complaining anymore. I was. As invisible as I am it feels more like a cloaking device than anything. Chicago in the news can be very dangerous and very wild. And yet, if anyone knows anything about me, I walk everywhere. Slow enough for people to follow you for blocks on end. Wanting to be seen. Worried about my safety. Worried about their safety because I left the house for once. Worried about everything. I'm not really that worried. Annoyed? Beyond annoyed. But as angry as I get, negativity does nothing for me to foster. It makes me look like every other secretly insecure white man here and just makes the turbulence around here worse.

If you have time enough to measure the difference in wattage between your rice cooker and your 6700xt gpu on full blast, you probably have time to pay attention to nuance. I pick up on the little things these days. I get that I share a porch with my neighbors and a cat. I get that I share a neighborhood too. I get that as a cis heterosexual white male I operate with privilege. It's not that hard to understand how to humble yourself in the presence of others. It's not hard to see how people have fought for rights harder than yourself. We're all fighting for the same thing. Freedom. I am understanding where I control the narrative and where I'm a guest. Where I don't have a say over other people's bodies, souls, or thoughts. I'm just as frightened by abuses or power and authority and yet they come as no surprise. I deleted everything Blizzard on my systems and am never looking back. I walk anywhere I choose freely with only a few annoyances. Jesus freaks and right wing antagonists are always up in my face trying to get a rise out of me. People think I'm a demon or haunted by some pirate ghosts. I have pretty good intuition and timing. I was a dj for like two decades. Beatmatching and pattern recognition. I get that I scare people and intimidate them just by breathing. Men are scary. Even to me. "Not all men!" Part of the reason people keep their distance from me is something I have to understand. I think we all have to understand who we are and what we can become when we live without care or intention. A lot of people just sleepwalk through this and blame the victims. They feel it's a weakness to share power. Sharing power is what cultivates freedom. But sharing power is almost pure chaos. It takes a lot of responsibility. And a lot of questioning of authority while asking the right questions and not just pinning a tail on a donkey. It's in the nuances and the people where freedom blossoms. Not in the polls or the pundits. We the people signifies something about America we ourselves have lost sight of. People buy their way into office at the behest of corporate and special interest money. The people are out there suffering while the profits guide the government. And it's really only the people who can turn this thing around. Here in Chicago, we know with our heart of hearts what to do. We have done it for so long. We survive together. We may not always like each other. We may feel like people are breathing down our necks and judging our every turn. But we always know where each other stands. We can stand to treat each other better. At least respecting that people have walls built up for protection more often than to hide something criminal. At least give people the space they need to grow. I have a lot of space to mine and play games. If I stay inside, it's so I don't rock the boat. If I go outside, just remember I have feelings too. We all could do better not to get caught up in them because we're overwhelmed by the bullshit. The bullshit we're in together. Respect is what is going to get us through. And I identify as down for the culture. As an ally you have my word. Love is the future. And the future is for everyone. <3 Tim
