Debating on my next Elden Ring Build, please gimme your thoughts!

Under the cut I’ll describe builds I already have, and please in the notes talk about your own builds!

Alright I’ve got a few characters, 2 of which have been rebirthed into a new character/build. Here they are, in the order I made them

1. Veteran Blood Priest - Aegon: this being my first character, it went under a few revisions. I don’t remember exactly what build I was trying to run with initially, but as soon as I defeated Mohg and got the Sacred Spear; everything had to change. I love this weapon, it’s probably my favorite in the game. I revamped my character immediately into a wall of armor and poise, every stat that wasn’t put into stamina for that express purpose was poured into Arcane for max damage. With the Veterans armor and the bullgoat talisman, I could almost always activate the weapon art uninterrupted, and it would even melt bosses who can’t bleed. I went into NG+ and finished near every boss in maybe 12-15 hours and I take these playthroughs SLOW, the trident was just that strong, especially its weapon art. However I leveled this guy to like 170 or 180 and after that I realized you generally wanna stop anywhere between the 90s and the 140s, so I really don’t play him anymore, hence why I have bleed characters and a trident build on my list lol, I’d like to make one within decent leveling parameters. Also, this guy got the Frenzy ending. I found the 3 fingers by accident on my first playthrough and got the most vile ending.

2. Black Flame Knight - Bakura: Night’s Cavalry Armor and all the black flame incantations, maxed out godskin seal and godskin peeler. With Shard of Alexander and some other fire damage buffs, nothing melts bosses faster and more consistently than the black flame tornado, and all the spells are just insanely strong. People who say Intelligence/Dexterity builds are playing in easy mode may not be wrong, but I’d wager the game is almost as easy when you run a proper black flame set up.

Initially this guy was gonna be a death sorcerer, the name Bakura was a Yugioh reference to Bakura who always used occult themed cards and quite famously had destiny board, which I was supplementing as the rancor spells. Like 2/3 way through the game the build was trash. I just didn’t do it right cuz my brother has built a phenomenal death rite sorcerer. Ended up rebirthing and doing a black flame build. Haven’t renamed him yet but I probably will give him something more suiting.

3. Ranni’s Consort Eternal - Asmodeus: This was meant to be a conglomerate of all the “night” themed magic stuff I could use, and ofc this character did ranni’s ending. I used the zweidander with a magic, and later a frost weapon art, for most of the playthrough, to get myself ready for the Darkmoon Sword. Tried out Blaidd’s as well and loved it, but stuck w the darkmoon for immersion. Sorceries were a mix of night and gravity sorceries. I think I threw in 1 or 2 frost ones near the end just to prock the status more often.

4. Perfumer/Status Build - Carl Weezer: my brother and I were doing Carl weezer (from the show Jimmy Neutron for those unaware) and one night when I was stumped on what to do w a new character, I was like fuck it let’s make Carl. So I used the Godskin Noble armor, with the Albinauric mask, and I specifically made use of breathe and scream attacks. Using talismans to boost those and the perfume items, Carl was a VERY gimmicky tarnished. If you’re confused as to why the scream, breathe, and perfume attacks, it was simple. Carl is always defined by his failing health and his asthma so we decided, the perfume items were his inhalers and the breathe attacks kinda fit too. Scream attacks were based on the fantastic 4 / X-Men episode where his powers are burp based. Sorry to offend asthmatics but I had very little to work with. Carl ended up being such a mess that I rebirthed him with rennala and turned him into the next character I’ll list -

5. Beast Champion: This guy had Bernhal’s full set of armor, except of the head which was the Blaidd mask. Maim focus was just damage with the Beast Claw Hammer, but I ran the claw mark seal and all the beast incantations as well, along with a couple crucible spells. Ran a Cinquedea as well for a speedy option during pvp. I tried to use physical buff items and spells as often as possible to make up for the fact that this build was pure physicality, no damage dealing items weapons or skills unless they dealt physical

6. Lord of Frenzied Flame - Tenebrae: My magnum opus. This tarnished is the best in pvp of any of my builds, and aesthetically he’s so perfect. He’s a balance between faith and arcane, and I have the dragon communion seal in 1 hand and the frenzy in the other. I wear Eleanora’s gauntlets and have the Frenzy seal in the gold hand, and the communion seal in the red dragon scaled hand. I usually cast with the frenzy seal for the buff but in pvp the communion seal builds frenzy super easy on other players. With the gauntlets I just have Morgott’s Robe and the Merchants Headpiece, the headpiece is obv a reference to where the three fingers are found as well as Kalé’s cut questline. I thought morgott’s robe looked so raggedy and worn, it was perfect, plus what a mocking gesture to the golden order and the greater will than to be clad in the robe of Leyndell’s last king. It also was the only piece I could think of that kinda suited the giant flaming head you get during the end cutscene, thing has the watermelon for head size like SpongeBob’s sweater of tears. Ofc I was also running Vykes spear with this guy, but he was mostly a caster.

7. Blood Knight - Belial: I basically wanted to make a bleed character who was super fast instead of super slow and tanky, unfortunately I chose to use Eleanora’s poleblade instead of katanas or reduvia or something. It’s such a cool weapon but I was struggling a bit at the endgame, so I rebirthed this guy to use the trident again, but with a light roll. He’s currently got Mohg’s robe and I switch the other armor around here and there. I’m not sure what I’ll end up doing with this tarnished he hasn’t finished the game. Maybe the dlc will give us a twinmace and I can turn him into Ultraman Belial. I think I may just NG+ him into one of the guilds on the poll.

8. Adherent of Rot - Icky Vicky: this character focuses on inflicting rot and poison on strong enemies, while quickly cutting away HP with powerstanced daggers and consecutive damage boosting talismans. Right now she mainly uses 2 scorpion stingers and swaps 1 for reduvia at times. Haven’t NG+ yet but someone gave me a 2nd stinger. I’d like to get a 2nd Antspur rapier, with a poison weapon art both weapons could build rot and poison simultaneously. Character also wears Malenia’s gear with the mushroom crown. I use perfume items a lot and the poison and rot pots.

redid rosi the blender,again. v 2.5 now, i changed the circuit for splitting the signal and blending it back together to a dual transistor design for better output to the effects loop, but v2 still lost too much volume, so i added a linear boost circuit running btw the original board output and the switch. buncha sockets on the boost bc i dont really expect to need to switch the gain or volume settings once i get it to unity gain and its best practices imo to use sockets for any transistor bc u can burn em or they may be way out of spec.

in retrospect its obvious why i lost so much volume out of the blend, i suppose i expected the transistors to be able to make up for the loss from the resistance of the balance pot, but i suspect i woulda needed a fancy dual gang pot to get it to unity gain in more middling positions just due to how voltage drops work. either way adding a real simple boost brought the output back up to what my bass does. wild how hot active basses run sometimes.

#probably im gonna have to rejigger some settings on the pedals i want to blend but thats kinda the whole point innit

Hoyt St Boo’ger - Tiny but Mighty

Not interested in reading the entire review? That’s alright with me! Click “keep reading” and scroll all the way down. I’ve added a “tl;dr” section that wraps up everything discussed in this writeup. Enjoy!

Introduction Hoyt St. -- The Portland, Oregon-based electric skateboarding startup best known for their “Puck” remote hand-crafted longboards -- announced their first electric cruiser board, the “Boo’ger,” in late 2020. Utilizing the knowledge that they had acquired while building their almost-completely bespoke EL1 longboard, they set out to build a killer little pocket rocket electric cruiser. At the time of its release, it went up against boards such as the Boosted Mini X Join me in picking this Boo’ger apart. (Don’t worry, that’s the first and last pun I’ll drop in this review.

Background I rode my first Hoyt St board — an EL1 — on August 3, 2019. I was in Portland for a family vacation and Jeff, Hoyt St’s co-founder and CEO, graciously agreed to meet up and let me take a unit out for a rip. Though my testing wasn’t incredibly extensive (a few loops around the block in Downtown PDX), I was thoroughly impressed by the board’s combination of performance, handling, and looks. I was later invited to check out the Hoyt St workshop to take a peak behind the scenes.

The majority of parts that go into a Hoyt St board are designed and manufactured in house by the team, which is pretty damn impressive if you ask me. It was so interesting to see how much hard work was being put into these amazing machines. In fact, I started using the Hoyt puck controller in my Lacroix Nazare later that year, a massive upgrade to the Flipsky VX1 that came stock with the board.

I kept in touch with the Hoyt St. team and in December 2020, they sent me their Boo’ger shortboard to demo just before its official launch. I had intended for my review to go live Spring 2021, but I was inundated with school work and other projects, thus pushing my review onto the backburner. Now, two years later, I’m sitting down at a coffee shop with some free time on my hands, writing this review. I do wanna give the Hoyt St. guys a huge shoutout for not dogging on me for my horrendously delayed write-up. Better late than never, right? User Experience As I was sent a pre-production demo unit, I can’t really speak on the finalized consumer unboxing experience. However, I was pleasantly surprised that Hoyt provides a very, very well-made travel bag with all their Boo’gers.

Isn’t that thing sick? Unfortunately, you won’t be able to fly with the board in the backpack (or fly with the board at all, for that matter). The Boo’ger is powered by a 259 Wh battery, well beyond the 100 Wh limit that most airlines adhere to. I believe the battery is removable but I don’t think it uses the same “flyable” battery units that the “flyable” Hoyt St. EL2 longboard uses. Again, this was a pre-production unit so I didn’t bother tearing it open. Back to the board. This thing handled SO WELL. I’ve ridden quite a few electric shortboards in my esk8 career: from the late Riptide R1 Elite to the also-late Predator Banshee, and from the crowd-favorite Boosted Mini S/X to OG Meepo V1.5 30″. Out of every electric shortboard I’ve tried, the Hoyt St. Boo’ger was by far the most stable and best performing. The power delivery is incredibly smooth and predictable thanks to Hoyt’s awesome Puck remote and presice VESC tuning (my demo unit was equipped with a Lacroix Stormcore 60D), and the 33″ bamboo deck offers plenty of room to stretch out. And that’s a lot, coming from someone who still daily drives rides the 38″ Boosted V2 Dual+, an electric longboard still regarded as one of the smoothest-accelerating and best handling boards of all time

Upgrades Just like my previous review of the Monday Motorbikes GEN7 (holy crap, was that really two years ago???), this board was given to me as a demo unit. As such, I cannot personally speak on upgrades. HOWEVER, Hoyt offers the “Whysir,” a skatepark-ready version of the Booger that includes “added reinforcements” such as plastic(?) rails to protect the board’s gorgeous bamboo deck when riding rails and much heavier drivetrain reeinforcement than the Boo’ger.

(Images pulled straight from Hoyt’s “Whysir” page)

Expectations vs. Reality Manufacturer claimed top speed: 25 MPH Tested range: 25.2 MPH (tested on big ol’ hills in NorCal suburbia) Manufacturer claim range: 12-16 miles Tested range: 14.4 miles (with a ~160lb rider)

I’m super stoked that the Hoyt crew battle-test their boards and make sure that the specs that they post on their website are specs that you can realistically get. Again, these range and speed tests were conducted in the Northern California suburbs where I used to live. Anyone from NorCal who’s familiar with just how hilly the Napa/Sonoma area can be knows that this board has -- as Dr. Emmett Brown once said -- “seen some serious shit.”

Gripes Besides the price, it’s hard to name bad things about this board. The Boo’ger sells for $1,799.99 USD on the Hoyt website, so it’s definitely in the realm of botique boards. For just $100 more, you can get the Lacroix Barrel ($1,899.99 USD) with a little more range, almost double the top speed of the Boo’ger, and the capability of all-terrain, moderate-long-range riding offered by that pneumatic tires and MTB-style deck. As a board, the Boo’ger performs amazingly well in both speed and range, but many people will turn away from it, seeing as you can get a lot more for your money. However, I’ve seen how the Hoyt team develops their boards. They develop them from the ground-up and -- as mentioned -- test, test, and test to ensure that the numbers they post on their specs sheet are the numbers that you can see in the real world. Their boards are overengineered in the best way possible. Not only are you shelling out money for a board that performs exceptionally well, you’re also paying for head-turning design, meticulous engineering, and unmatched customer support from a team of dedicated, hard-working individuals. Trust me, I’ve seen their workflow. It’s nuts. (Oh, and on the note of “head-turning design,” did you know that Jeff Johnson, the head honcho of Hoyt St., also used to work at Nike? Dude literally designed the Nike Foamposites. Those were shoes that I saw all the cool kids wearing in high school. That’s wild.)

Conclusion/tl;dr The Hoyt St. Boo’ger is a fast, agile shortboard that -- while kinda expensive -- is extremely well-built and performs as advertised. This premium electric cruiser will turn heads with its looks, and it’s guaranteed to get you there with decent range. Because of its price, however, it cannot compete with more buget shortboard offerings from companies like Meepo and Ownboard, but I personally think it makes up for it with its with its engineering, charm, and the dedication of the people behind the brand.

(Transparency is very important to me. The Hoyt St. Boo’ger was sent to me by the Hoyt crew themselves and in no way was I paid to write this review. My tour of the Hoyt HQ in 2019 offered an insight into the behind-the-scenes engineering of their boards, but it also did not influence my review nor push me to write any preferential remarks about them. Was it cool? Sure. Did said visit convince me to cover up any gripes I had about the board or the brand? Hell no. Finally, all the companies mentioned in this review (Hoyt St., Lacroix, Flipsky, Monday Motorbikes, Meepo, Boosted (defunct), Riptide (defunct), Predator boards (defunct), and Nike (lol, NOT defunct)) did not pay me for or advise me to write any content in this review. All opinions are my own.)

Kanye West initially structured a shoe for Adidas in 2006, yet it was never released.[2] The primary brand to authoritatively team up with Kanye West was Bape. Together, West and Bape discharged a couple of Bapesta "School Dropout" shoes, which are currently very uncommon and accumulate high exchange prices.[3] He has additionally structured shoes for Louis Vuitton and Giuseppe Zanotti, and (most strikingly) Nike.[4] His joint effort with Nike went on for a long time and prompted the arrival of an aggregate of three (two outlines, Yeezy 1 and the Yeezy 2) tennis shoe styles. In 2013, after the arrival of the "Red October" Air Yeezy 2s, Kanye West formally left Nike. Albeit West portrayed this break as "lamentable", he guaranteed that Nike would not pay him sovereignties for his shoe plans, rather offering to pay a portion of West's preferred returns to a foundation. This at last drove West to contact Adidas. Adidas consented to give him sovereignties, and West portrayed the CEO of Adidas as "somebody who permitted [him] to manufacture something".[5] In February 2015, a year and three months after the affirmation of the Adidas and Kanye West coordinated effort, the cooperation formally appeared. "Yeezy Season 1" was profoundly envisioned and famous people, for example, Rihanna, Diddy, and Kim Kardashian were at the appearing. "Yeezy Season 2" and "Yeezy Season 3" additionally observed outstanding measures of progress upon their discharges.

Garments

"Yeezy Season 1" was discharged on October 29th, 2015, and was the primary attire assortment to discharge from this collaboration.[6][7] This assortment was noted for its stripped-down, prepared to-wear style, which drew on military garments and substance conditioned colors.[8] The costs went from $6.99 for warm up pants to $9.99 for jackets.[9] Although the footwear sold out rapidly, the clothing assortment didn't. West uncovered in a 2018 meeting that he was in converses with Louis Vuitton for a $30 attire bargain. The arrangement was not affirmed by the LVMH board and West was left with no apparel accomplices. After the "Yeezy Season 1" appear, Adidas reported they would never again be a piece of Yeezy clothing, rather concentrating on the footwear assortment with West. With Yeezy Season 6, Adidas and West re-presented a few pieces of clothing with Adidas branding.[10]

Footwear

As of December 2017, an aggregate of 19 colourways and 6 plans have been discharged between the Adidas and Yeezy collaboration.[11] Through a blend of elements including promotion by superstars, Adidas Yeezy tennis shoes have come to be incredibly persuasive and profoundly coveted.[12]

The vast majority of the shoes use Adidas' Boost material, noted for being an incredibly agreeable material for the wearer's feet.[13]

Yeezy Boost 750

On December 3, 2013, Adidas affirmed another shoe joint effort manage West.[14] On February 8, 2015, the name and structure for the Kanye West and Adidas coordinated effort shoe was uncovered, yet West didn't plan the shoes. On February 10 Adidas uncovered publications of the Yeezy Boost 750 "Light Brown" all through their lead stores. The Yeezy Boost 750 "Light Brown" was at first discharged on February 14, 2015, solely for the individuals who affirmed a booking through the Adidas versatile application. This underlying arrival of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 "Light Brown" was restricted to 9000 sets to be accessible just in New York City by means of the Adidas cell phone application and sold out inside 10 minutes.[15] Between February 21 and February 28, the Yeezy Boost 750 "Light Brown" was accessible through a more extensive scope of retailers and boutiques.[16]

On June 11, 2016, Yeezy Season 2 started with the second arrangement of arrivals of the Yeezy Boost 750 "Shine in the Dark". The shoe was sold in an all-dim shading plan with a luminous (shine in obscurity) gum outsole. The shoe highlights improved materials, for example, greater softened cowhide and calfskin.

Two different colourways for the Yeezy Boost 750 were later discharged. One, named "Chocolate", included a darker calfskin and cowhide upper with a similar fluorescent sole as the past model. The other, named "Triple Black", was an all-dark colourway with indistinguishable materials from the Chocolate however with an all-dark sole too.

All the 750s retailed for $350, however because of their low creation numbers and appeal, produced extremely high exchange costs.

Yeezy Boost 350

Kanye West the creator Of the arrangement Adidas Yeezy Boost "Oxford Tan"

On June 27, 2015, the second shoe from the coordinated effort, the Yeezy Boost 350 was made accessible through an overall release.[17] The shoe was first discharged in a white and dim "Turtle Dove" shading plan. On August 22, 2015, an all-dark form of the Yeezy Boost 350 discharged, known as the "Privateer Black."[18] An olivine variation, the "Moonrock," was discharged only to stores who were merchants for the Yeezy Season 1 attire line.[19] The fourth and last form of Season 1's 350 Boost was the "Oxford Tan," which included a light-darker shading scheme.[20] In mid 2016, a changed adaptation of the Pirate Black colourway was discharged. Amendments incorporated extra help and cushioning to the heel.[21] However, the two emphasess are moderately indistinguishable in appearance. All variations of the shoe retailed for $200[22]

On August 27, 2016, the Yeezy Boost 350 re-discharged in newborn child sizes. The shoe was discharged in the "Turtle Dove" and "Privateer Black" shading scheme.[23] There have been no further discharges or restocks of the tennis shoe, yet the style was later reconsidered and reintroduced with the "Yeezy Boost 350 V2".

Yeezy 950

youtube

The Yeezy 950 was first discharged on October 29, 2015 at select retail locations and online.[24] It was a piece of the Yeezy season 1 assortment and came in four distinctive colorways: Peyote, Moonrock, Chocolate, and Pirate dark. Each shoe was retailed at $399.[25] "The Adidas Yeezy 950 broadened the Kanye West and Adidas association outside of the tennis shoe space with its military duckboot motivated design."[26] There have been no further arrivals of the shoe.

Yeezy 350 Cleat

The Adidas Yeezy 350 Football Boost "Turtle dove" colourway was initially discharged on September 15, 2016.[27] The Yeezy 350 projection "Turtle Dove" is the main athletic footwear item from the Adidas and Yeezy coordinated effort. "The shoe investigated and feel of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 anyway they introduced a Primeknit upper fortified with SprintSkin sitting on a 5-star projection frame."[28] The fitting was intended for football and it had shown up in a 2016 NFL the opening shot game. Texans wide beneficiary DeAndre Hopkins was fined for $6,000 for wearing the spikes since they broke the NFL uniform approach by not having a strong base colour.[29]

There have been no further arrivals of this projection.

Yeezy Boost 350 V2

The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Beluga" was uncovered at the Yeezy Season 3 show and was discharged on September 24, 2016. It is viewed as a revamp of the past Yeezy Boost 350 and highlights a few external changes, for example, an alternate example, expelled heel tab, and a huge stripe going around the external side of the shoe with the characters "SPLY-350". The sole was additionally refreshed to be straightforward and highlighted full-length perceivability of the Boost material padded sole through a matrix design opening on the outsole. On September 24, 2016, the Yeezy Boost V2 "Beluga" formally released.[30] It included an all Gray outsole and prime weave, with a huge shaded orange stripe with the characters "SPLY-350". On November 23, 2016, three new colourways discharged, "Copper", "Green", and "Red", including an all-dark outsole and prime sew, with a huge shaded stripe with the words "SPLY-350". A "Center Black/Core White" colourway, named "Oreo", was discharged on December 17, 2016. It additionally highlighted a dark outsole and prime sew, just as a white stripe over the shoe.

An outstanding change to the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 line was the point at which a dark and red, or "Reared", colourway discharged February 11, 2017.[31] The colorway has a "triple dark" colorway, with the "SPLY-350" showed in a red tint. Moreover, the Zebras authoritatively turned into the initial 350 to quit the unmistakable stripe. A "Zebra" colourway was discharged on February 25, 2017, and later restocked on the web and in different Adidas stores and retailers on June 24, 2017. The colourway included noticeable dark stripes over an at no other time seen white overlay, inciting a flood of significant worth and promotion from the shoe community.[32] On April 29, 2017, a hotly anticipated model marked as "Cream White" was discharged to the public.[33] All such colorways were discharged at a retail cost of $299

Three new colourways of the Yeezy 350 V2 model later surfaced. A "Semi-Frozen Yellow" colourway, highlighting a brilliant yellow prime weave upper and interesting "gum soles", discharged on November 18, 2017, in constrained quantity.[34] Additionally, a colourway with a strikingly well-known example (to the main arrival of the Yeezy 350 V2 ) named the "Beluga 2.0" discharged at different retailers in enormous amount seven days after the "Semi-Frozen Yellow" discharged on November 25, 2017.[35] It therefore restocked on the 30th of November. The third colourway, "Blue Tint," was discharged the December sixteenth. All colourways have picked to have predictable prime weave designs without a noticeable stripe on the sides; be that as it may, the famous "SPLY-350" will at present be held on every one of the three sets with costs being set at $199

In 2018, numerous colourways of the 350 V2 were discharged, and there were additionally many restocks. On June 30, the primary new 350 V2 colourway of 2018 dropped called the "Butter".[36] The Triple White shading restocked on September 21 [37] and was said to have been the greatest Yeezy drop ever. On November 16, the zebra colourway of the 350 restocked.[38] Shortly after, another colourway called the "Sesame" discharged on Black Friday of 2018 (November 23). It highlighted a dim upper, with a white Boost and padded sole, finished with a gum-shaded outsole.[39] On (Friday) December fourteenth, 2018 the Frozen Yellows re-discharged in stores.

Networks: ShufeNet-v2 (224x224), MobileNet-v2 (224x224) Pipeline represents end-to-end performance with video capture and decode. But if money is truly no object, we couldn’t fault you for chasing that extra 5%. NVIDIA T4 ShufeNet v2 NVIDIA A2 SystemConguration: Supermicro SYS-1029GQ-TRT, 2S Xeon Gold 6240 ’2.6GHz, 512GB DDR4, 1x NVIDIA A2 OR 1x NVIDIA T4 Measured performance with Deepstream 5.1. The Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Xtreme 11G we tested offered more than 95% of Titan V’s average frame rate. FP64 (double-precision) and FP16 (half-precision) arithmetic units. Affluent gamers are better off with an overclocked GeForce RTX 2080 Ti from one of Nvidia’s board partners. Last but not least, those interested in double-precision capabilities (FP64) of consumer Ampere need to know there are two dedicated FP64 cores per SM, or exactly 1/64th of FP32. Recent developments in the GPU sector have opened up new avenues for boosting performance.

#FP64 PRECISION NVIDIA PROFESSIONAL#

In the meantime, a complete TU102 processor is an absolute monster for professional applications able to utilize its improved Tensor cores or massive 24GB of GDDR6 memory, including deep learning and professional visualization workloads. Pascal is the codename for a GPU microarchitecture developed by Nvidia, as the successor to the Maxwell architecture. For example, on a GTX 780 Ti, the FP64 performance is 1/24 FP32. So vendors like NVIDIA and AMD do not cram FP64 compute cores in their GPUs. This is because they are targeted towards gamers and game developers, who do not really care about high precision compute. It’ll be interesting to see how Nvidia enables Turing’s highest-profile fixed-function feature. GPUs, at least consumer grade, are not built for high performance FP64.

#FP64 PRECISION NVIDIA SOFTWARE#

Nevertheless, Nvidia says it’s working with rendering software partners to exploit ray tracing acceleration through Microsoft DXR and OptiX, citing pre-release versions of Chaos Group’s Project Lavina, OTOY’s OctaneRender, and Autodesk’s Arnold GPU renderer. That latter synthetic shows Titan RTX about 6% ahead of GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, with both Turing-based cards way ahead of Titan V. Through enhancements in NVIDIA CUDA-X math. Mostly, there isn’t anything to test outside of Battlefield V and 3DMark's Port Royal. The third generation of Tensor Cores in A100 enables matrix operations in full, IEEE-compliant, FP64 precision. Iterative refinement for dense systems, Ax b, can work in a manner simlar to the pseudocode snippet below. Up to 5.2 TFLOPS FP64 double-precision floating-point performance (10. We didn’t even touch on Titan RTX’s RT cores, which accelerate BVH traversal and ray casting functions. The approach is very simple: use lower precision to compute the expensive flops and then iteratively refine the solution in order to achieve the FP64 solution.

WHERE TO BUY THE YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 "SAND TAUPE" NOW

We’re midway through December and the YEEZY announcements aren’t slowing down. For what must be one of the year’s last drops from adidas and Kanye, we get one smooth, neutral colorway. The YEEZY Boost 350 V2 "Sand Taupe" will released today, December 19th, but you can still secure a pair at StockX now.

Based around a proprietary Eliada color, the signature patchwork upper of the adidas YEEZY Boost 350 V2 "Sand Taupe" is the perfect dusty color palette for a year-round rotation addition. The streamlined silhouette, which has grown to be a favorite of YEEZY connoisseurs, takes after the original adidas YEEZY 350 that sparked a complete revolution in the world of footwear back in February 2015. With Kanye’s now-signature neutral palette on board too, the adidas YEEZY Boost 350 V2 "Sand Taupe" looks set to resonate with everyone from experts to rookies.

While highlight colorways of YEEZYs drop frequently, based around neon strips or reflective uppers, the "Sand Taupe" iteration may not be top of the eye-catcher list, but this is what we’re really loving about it. As the desire for neutral colors in all aspects of the wardrobe grows at the hands of Kanye, Kim, and Travis Scott, extending the wearable palette down to your feet seems like a no-brainer, especially when the silhouette is a ready-made classic.

A quick check of StockX market data proves that the desire for YEEZYs is keeping up handsomely with the speed of the output. The adidas YEEZY Boost 350 V2 "Sand Taupe" has sold at a high of $740 and an average of $243 which is above the $220 retail price.

ERGO DEEP DIVE

Today we are going to take a deep dive into a low profile project called ERG. I've connected multiple DDs written on what could be a sleeping giant.

Take your time and enjoy the read. Sources at the end.

What is ERG? A hint at fair tokenomics

Price at time of writing: $10,4 Market cap at time of writing as per CMC: $335m Would-be price as a current top 10 (doge cap of 32b): $1.120,00

Ergois a is a GPU mineable cryptocurrency coin (not token) based on the Proof of Work Autolykos v2 consensus algorithm. Ergo has its own network and blockchain. Ergo did not hold any ICO in the launch and the genesis block started fairly without any VC funding. Ergo first went live on Waves and was mineable as the Ergo First Year Token (EFYT).

There were no pre-mined coins reserved for the Ergo Foundation. Ergo’s ecosystem is funded through a distribution model that designates 10% of the mining rewards to the Ergo Treasury until the end of 2nd year (of the mainnet launch). From this point onwards, the Treasury allocation will be halved every month for 6 months, afterwhich the Treasury will cease to receive any further allotment from the protocol. At the end of the distribution schedule, the Treasury funds represent only 4.37% of the total ERG supply. This model helps to build full decentralization.

The total coin supply is hard-capped at 97 million ERGs with an emission schedule of 8 years. This timetable, which is contrary to Bitcoin’s never-ending emission schedule, might seem very brief. However, Bitcoin is programmed to distribute 75% of its supply during the first 8 years, so Ergo’s emission design is not too far-off from Bitcoin’s. Rather than develop a protocol that continually mints coins as rewards for building the blockchain, Ergo has adopted a new and novel incentive for miners in the form of Storage Rent.

The ERG coin is the base layer currency for building and using smart contracts.

Every type of transaction such as NFT minting, smart contract deployment, and swaps will essentially be signed with ERGs. The circulation of coins therefore will be boosted even with other ecosystems choosing to use the Ergo Blockchain. With more DeFi services such as cross-chain DEX and oracle pools, the future sustainability of Ergo tokenomics will be secured.

Let's find out the bull case for erg!

The Team as of ergoplatform

Just a couple mentions of their team:

Alexander Chepurnoy

Active in blockchain since 2011, Chepurnoy (kushti) has written over 20 academic papers and more than 15 years experience in software development. Co-founder of ERGO, he was also a co-founder of smartcontract.com (now Chainlink), a core developer at NXT, and one of the first employees at IOHK, where he was a Research Fellow and Team Scorex Manager.

Dmitry Meshkov

Meshkov (catena) has a PhD in physics and over 10 years experience in software development. He has written several peer-reviewed papers on crypto and has worked with Chepurnoy on the Scorex project since 2015. Co-founder and Core Developer at ERGO, Meshkov was an RD Researcher at IOHK, focussed on building a framework for blockchain prototyping.

Alexander Slesarenko

Slesarenko (morphic) is an ERGO Foundation Board Member and graduate of Applied Mathematics from Udmurt State University. He is founder of Scalan and has extensive experience in software development as a team leader, architect and researcher. Slesarenko is a Blockchain Core Developer and Lead Developer of ErgoScript at ERGO, and an Expert Team Leader at Huawei Research Lab.

Mohammad Hasan Samadani

Mohammad (mhs_sam) has a PhD in computer science and over 12 years of experience in security and software development as product owner, researcher, and team leader. He developed the ERGO mining softwares, Stratum server, and ergopool (smart contract based pool to bypass pool-resistancy of Autolykos v1) and became an ERGO Foundation Board Member in 2020.

Chales Hoskinson ADA founder on ERGO:

“It's one of the most revolutionary cryptocurrencies ever built. Got so many crazy ideas like non-outsourceable puzzles and sigma protocols and pruning the blockchain and roller chains. All this crazy stuff. Even has a proof of no premine.”

Ergo was founded by Hoskinson’s “favorite technologist”, Alex Chepurnoy, who also contributed to the development of Cardano. It is a PoW blockchain platform with Turing complete smart contracts that employs a number of advanced features like zero-knowledge proofs, ring signatures, oracles, and adjustable block size.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/charles-hoskison-reveals-his-9-favorite-crypto-projects

The Road to Top 10 Cryptocurrency

If you are like me you understand that the move-fast-and-break-things approach that plagues the cryptocurrency ecosystem is detrimental to long term sustainability. The basis for my strong belief in Ergo and Cardano comes from their approach to code implementation: research twice, implement once.

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardanop, once said he believes Ergo to be a top 10 cryptocurrency project. The community surrounding Ergo have been hanging on to that statement ever since. Today we hash out perspectives as to why that is possible and why a multi-billion dollar Ergo might be right around the corner.

The Ethereum Miners Perspective

It's no surprise that the implications of EIP-1559 to the Ethereum ecosystem unearthed controversy and disdain within its community. So what is EIP-1559?

An overly simplistic explanation of EIP-1559: its the restructuring of Ethereum's gas-management and monetary system to improve the UX by introducing the BASEFEE (BF) mechanism. The BF mechanism is at the base-layer which removes third-party price suggestions, and is based off the utilization of the Ethereum network.

These BF's do not go to the miners. If you want to pay for a quicker transaction you can tip the miners similar to CashApp or Venmo ‘Instant Transfer’ utility. The BF's are burned and therefore create deflation.

This disincentivizes miners to participate in the ecosystem because they are less profitable which effectively prices out GPU miners for ASIC miners, falling closer and closer to centralization. This will drive a number of miners to projects that will protect its interest on the protocol level and bring that project considerable growth.

Ergo is well positioned to attract these miners with Autolykos v2, a PoW algorithm built by Ergo that implements progressive memory-hard computation which make it ASIC resistant.

In June when EIP-1559 passes this will provide a home for non-industry miners who have been essentially priced out of Ethereum's mining mechanism. That’s not to say industry-grade miners wont also have a home here as well, because they too will be out of a job once Ethereum 2.0 comes and transitions to PoS.

What is better than having a strong project to mine with a bright future ahead to run your business on?

The Consensus Perspective

It is fundamentally true that above all other consensus mechanisms, Proof-of-Work is the most rigorously well-tested and studied. Its also true that PoW can enable centralization by super-efficient or pooled mining resources, but Ergo has preemptively solved these issues with Autolykos (learn more in the forum).

Ergo will also have on-chain voting that can address issues such as energy-consumption as network usage grows.

As an aside, this isn't to say that a Proof-of-Stake mechanism is inferior to PoW, or even superior.

For instance, a PoS mechanism is open to Byzantine attacks from distributed systems and malicious coordination between validators because coins are inextricably linked to network security.

Cardano has solved these issues with Ouroboros, but there is still the issue of network siphoning when financial products from DeFi protocols begin offering more attractive instruments than the inflation rate from staking rewards.

The point here is mainly that all consensus protocols can be improved upon, and just as Cardano has done with PoS, Ergo is doing with PoW.

It is beneficial to recognize that PoW and PoS is not a zero-sum game. They are both growing on non-linear trajectories rather than having superiority over each other. One could look at Autolykos as a superior PoW model to Bitcoin, just as one could look at Ouroboros as a superior PoS model to PeerCoin.

In the end, it's wise to invest in both trajectories — and we believe Ergo is doing a superior job than most in the PoW space.

The Scripting Perspective

To understand how transactions are handled under the hood of Ergo we must take a brief peek under the hoods of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

BitcoinScript

Bitcoin uses what is called BitcoinScript. BitcoinScript is a stack-based scripting language that works in FILO (first-in-last-out) which means when transactions occur the necessary scripts stack on top of each other and execute from top to bottom.

The person who initiated the transaction needs to prove that certain statements in the transaction are true for the transaction to execute. This means validation happens on-chain, i.e. by each full node in the network.

BitcoinScript does not allow for the notion of state, which means there is no knowledge of the current global state of transactions, instead they reference previous transactions.

For example, when a user wants to know their wallets account balance, the wallet doesn't have full knowledge of the state of the blockchain. Instead, it follows the linked transactions all the way through the blockchain and adds up all the unspent transaction outputs (UtxO) and displays it to the user.

In essence, it only has the state of those linked transactions.

Solidity

Ethereum uses a smart contract language of its own design called Solidity. Solidity is an object-oriented language with a stack-based execution environment that executes on chain. But, unlike Bitcoin, also allows for Turing-completeness.

That means a Solidity smart contract can solve any algorithm or problem but with one caveat, it gives no guarantees regarding how long it will take or how much memory it will use.

How do they prevent bad actors from writing malicious programs that eat up network space? Create a pay wall in the form of gas fees. This decision, without thinking far into the future, gives us the really high gas fees we are experiencing now (some reaching as high as a single $ETH, currently valued at $2,380).

I can hear you now, "Wait, so you're saying gas fees aren't inextricably linked to validating transactions on a blockchain?"

Yep, that's what I'm saying — crazy right?

ErgoScript

Now, what if there was a way to combine first principles from Ethereum and Bitcoin in a way that allowed Turing-complete smart contracts, notion of global state, and no gas fees?

Enter, ErgoScript.

A scripting language that is robust enough to support things like loops, recursion and DoS prevention, ErgoScript is proven to be Turing-complete compatible while also using the UtxO model like Bitcoin.

Now, I say Turing-complete compatible because the scripting language is complex enough to allow for programs to be overlaid on top of those scripts in a Turing-complete way.

This means we can now estimate with accuracy the script complexities themselves before execution, eliminating the need for gas fees. Yes, no gas fees.

ErgoScript will also allow for the implementation of another novel and intuitive design concept: extended unspent transaction output, or EUtxO. EUtxO provides the solution for BitcoinScript's lack of global state awareness. This means at any point a smart contract or user can access the latest global state of the blockchain without the memory-hardness of Ethereum’s accounting model.

The DeFi Perspective

The decentralized finance perspective requires some in-depth research into the stablecoin and DEX landscape as a whole, so while this section may be lengthy, bare with me. It is important to build a foundational understanding of the space to better understand Ergo's unique position in DeFi.

We break this section into 2 main pillars:

StableCoins & the AgeUSD Protocol

Decentralized Exchanges & Automated Market Makers

StableCoins

Perhaps surprisingly, the introduction of stablecoins into crypto brought a modicum of distrust in investor sentiment, which largely influenced its sidelining during the 2017 ICO boom.

Speculators and investors alike cycled out of altcoins and into Ethereum, Bitcoin and cash, some never to return again. As regulations and sentiment shifted in favor toward the big stablecoin protocols like Tether (formerly RealCoin) and USDC, the option to sell your profits into a stablecoin and earn a yield became useful.

It's my prediction that this current bull-run will not see the exodus to cash much like we did in 2017 but a shift to stay within the crypto ecosystem via stablecoins.

As it stands, the current stablecoin environment is broken into 4 pillars:

Off-chain-collateralized

On-chain-collateralized

Un-collateralized

Hybrid

To understand the nuances, its helpful to get some real-world examples of each:

Off-Chain Collateralized

Tether ($USDT) is an example an off-chain collateralized stablecoin as it is pegged to the dollar deposited in central banks.

The un-collateralized algorithmic stablecoin narrative is building momentum as its counterparts have notable flaws. Off-chain fiat collateralized stablecoins are counter-intuitive to the ethos that underpins the crypto industry, yet they currently dominate.

They are also subject to centralization, counter-party risks, and regulatory constraints which was tangibly evident in the latest round of regulation bouts between the SEC and Tether.

On-Chain Collateralized

MakerDAO ($DAI) is an example of an on-chain-collateralized stablecoin as it is backed by deposits of other cryptocurrencies.

On-chain-collateralized stablecoins also have major flaws which stem from the volatility of the crypto markets. This volatility can cause events much like Black Thursday, a massive liquidation event in the MakerDAO protocol due to the black swan liquidity crisis caused by Covid-19.

Absolutely colossal amounts of ETH were liquidated from MakerDAO vaults with ZERO auction-bids (i.e. free ETH due to network congestion), oracle price discrepancy, and the sharp Ethereum sell-off. The amount of ETH gamed from MakerDAO from ‘keepers’ who took advantage of the volatility in a non-competitive auction is equal to $130 million dollars with today's current ETH prices.

Uncollateralized stablecoins are typically smart contracts on the blockchain and therefore require an oracle to feed data to the smart contract to govern the algorithms, which leaves them open to manipulation.

Un-collateralized

NuBits ($NBT) is an example of an un-collateralized stablecoin as its price is stabilized via algorithms that respond to price volatility.

In the interest of brevity, let's simply say these are mainly experimental.

Hybrid

AgeUSD protocol is an example of a hybrid stablecoin that is algorithmically stabilized and collateralized on-chain (i.e. crypto-backed).

But, before we discover how the novel AgeUSD protocol works I would like to preface that AgeUSD is not a solution to all the above problems. But, using sound mathematics instead of dynamic transaction handling, AgeUSD aims to provide a higher assurance alternative than existing counterparts.

With that said, we believe it's a serious contender in the pursuit of true stablecoins in the cryptocurrency space. Because of that, we look deeper into what it has to offer and why its uniquely positioned to work well on the Ergo blockchain.

AgeUSD Protocol

AgeUSD takes a hybrid approach in a design model that focuses on key concepts from traditional finance and legal compliance. Remember, Ergo aims to be a platform for financial smart contract applications, it is in their best interest to develop their suite of products in a legally compliant way.

AgeUSD’s hybrid model is also the first of its kind with two pillars from which the protocol stands on; the stablecoin itself (SigmaUSD) and the reserve coin (SigmaRSV).

SigmaUSD

SigmaUSD is the first and only algorithmic stablecoin to run on the EUTxO model.

SigmaUSD distinguishes itself from other crypto-backed stable coins like MakerDAO by not implementing collateralized-debt positions (CDPs). These CDPs leave MarkerDAO users susceptible to untimely forced-liquidations from unstable price thresholds that are vulnerable to blockchain congestion.

So how does AgeUSD work differently?

Let’s say a user wants to purchase SigmaUSD with their ERG token (this will work the same way with ADA as well, when supported). They would send their ERG to a smart contract and the smart contract would use an oracle to determine the exchange-rate from your ERG to SigmaUSD. As the smart contract is sending out the SigmaUSD stablecoin to users, it is simultaneously building up a reserve of ERG.

How do price fluctuations in ERG affect the reserves in the contract when users who sell their SigmaUSD and get their ERG back?

First, it would be correct to assume that if the price of ERG went up after you sent them to the smart contract, you would receive less ERG back when you exchange them back for ERG. You would also be correct to assume that if the price of ERG went down after you sent them to the smart contract, you would receive more ERG.

But, wouldn't that mean the reserves would be subject to shortage? Yes, but the novelty of the protocol lies in the introduction of SigmaRSV, an incentivized alternative in which a user on the ERG blockchain can choose variability over stability by providing liquidity to the reserves of the SigmaUSD contract.

SigmaRSV

A user will be able to purchase SigmaRSV with their ERG token (this will also work the same way with ADA, when supported). By purchasing SigmaRSV the user is sending their ERG to the SigmaRSV smart contract and an oracle determines the exchange-rate from your ERG to SigmaRSV token.

The SigmaRSV smart contract will then link the dollar value of the ERG tokens within the contract to the SigmaUSD smart contract and allow the equivalent SigmaUSD to be minted for users of the SigmaUSD contract.

This creates an interesting dynamic where holders of SigRSV who provide liquidity to the SigmaUSD reserves will benefit in opposition to SigmaUSD users when ERG price fluctuates. Put more plainly, when ERG token prices rise a SigmaRSV holder benefits, whereas a SigmaUSD holder does not — and vice versa. Another incentive for SigmaRSV holders is that they will receive rewards from transaction fees within the AgeUSD protocol.

Stability vs. Variability

For a more concrete example, if Alice enters into SigmaUSD with $100 dollars worth of ERG and mints the exchange-rate of SigmaUSD – as close to $1 dollar as possible – and Bob enters into SigmaRSV with $100 dollars worth of ERG and mints the exchange-rate of SigmaRSV and the price of the $ERG token then goes up, the following will happen:

Alice, who wants to sell her SigmaUSD for ERG, will use the SigmaUSD she previously minted – hypothetically $100 dollars worth – and purchase the ERG token at a higher price, therefore receiving less ERG.

Now there is more ERG in the reserves because Alice could not afford to purchase the same amount of ERG she originally minted SigmaUSD for.

The SigmaUSD smart contract holding the ERG that Alice could not afford to buyback is now called by the SigmaRSV contract holding the ERG exchanged for SigmaRSV by Bob when Bob wants to sell his minted SigmaRSV.

By diluting the supply of the ERG he deposited to the contract he can purchase more ERG with the same minted SigmaRSV with a net gain. This works in the opposite way if prices drop.

This novel dynamic provides an ecosystem of stability and variability through game-theory, math, and incentives. This disables susceptibility to blockchain congestion which consequently nullifies the ability to force-liquidate liquidity providers (LPs) with zero competition.

The AgeUSD protocol is one of the most long-term sustainable approaches I have come across to date, but only if the ERG token has reached its full market potential and is less prone to market volatility. I suspect this will come simultaneously with the maturation of the crypto market as a whole.

Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)

The introduction of automated market makers (AMM) has brought the use of decentralized exchanges (DEX) to the forefront of the crypto industry and has been the catalyst for the recent decentralized finance (DeFi) movement.

An AMM is an algorithm that allows participants to partake in trading and swapping cryptocurrencies in a trustless environment. This is done by participants providing liquidity to liquidity pools in a trading pair like ETH/USDT, with algorithms in smart contracts acting as the buyer for exchanges to be made.

This replaces the need for orderbook-based exchanges where a market maker orders buy and sell orders based off price and outside influence.

An AMM has the advantage of providing liquidity to fragmented markets and illiquid assets as long as there are liquidity providers. The disadvantage is when there aren't liquidity providers, slippage and impermanent loss from arbitragers pose significant threat to both exchange users and liquidity providers.

Also, because most DEX’s like Uniswap, 1inch, and Bancor run on Ethereum (and as we discussed earlier, due to Ethereum’s design approach, are subject to the massive fees that come with it) small traders are priced out. Large traders are also prone to high fees from slippage as well.

Order-book based DEX’s are way too prone to manipulation like wash trading, order book front-running, and pump-and-dumps because they cannot be regulated like centralized exchanges.

With that being said, order book based DEX’s do thrive if the market is liquid enough because transaction fees are low compared to AMM’s, regardless of the blockchain it is run on.

Both AMM and order book DEX’s suffer from ‘rug pulls’ (when bad actors launch a project for early investors and drain the funds from the smart contract) from ICO’s and IDO’s.

ErgoDEX

ErgoDEX is another testament to the power of the EUtxO model as it will allow both AMM and order-book based exchanges using liquidity pools.

This can't be done with the account-model or the barebones UtxO model as there is no notion of state across blocks. This will allow ErgoDEX to utilize the advantages of both models, and because of its design architecture will benefit from very low fees as gas is not intrinsic to computation in Ergo.

ErgoDEX will also support seamless atomic swaps (swapping tokens across blockchains), without the use of wrapped assets, gateways or trust-based bridges.

If that wasn't enough, the DEX will also support buyback orders to reduce exposure and risk for ICO/IDO investors. This approach allows investors to set block-times representing the amount of funds the token issuer can utilize in a given period and allowing investors to buyback their investment if they are unsatisfied.

This is another novel development from Ergo.

DeFi Summary

All of these facets — stablecoin protocols, AMMs and DEX offerings — position Ergo to be radically equipped to solve many of the current DeFi pains currently plaguing the crypto space.

The Oracle Perspective

As it stands the current market for oracles has been largely cornered by Chainlink, a cryptocurrency project that blossomed from the 2017 ICO boom. Chainlink captured the first-mover advantage by introducing the ability to bring data outside of the blockchain to be utilized in a variety of ways via a smart contract and sits at a massive valuation of $13.4 billion dollars at the time of writing.

It's important to note that the founder of Ergo, Alex Cherpunoy, helped develop Chainlink with Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis when the project was still called smartcontract.com.

Before that, Cherpunoy was creating the frameworks for DEX’s and tokenized assets before Vitalik Buterin even came out with the Ethereum whitepaper. It goes without saying that Cherpunoy is one of the most experienced developers in the entire blockchain industry and is more than capable of understanding the importance of oracles to decentralized finance.

Chainlink set the standard for oracles in blockchain but over time has highlighted many issues within the oracle space. Currently, oracles can be considered private entities that provide data for blockchain users in a trusted manner – which does not satisfy the argument for decentralized design. This framework of trust in data-feeding oracles has led to doubt of data reliability both in terms of accuracy and posting schedule.

Oracle Pools

The partnership between Ergo and Emurgo finds it too important that oracles not rely on centralized sponsorship and instead be designed to bolster public participation. Within the oracle pool framework, unlike existing oracle providers, all data handling happens on-chain. This means that data is not paid for using a separate utility token like Chainlink, but rather the blockchain’s native token which provides simpler economic incentives.

The way this happens is by utilizing the UTXO model in which an oracle pool, which has multiple oracle providers within, will post their data inside of a UTXO to a smart contract that aggregates all the oracle providers data.

The smart contract will average all the data points and produce a UTXO with the final datapoint and post it to the blockchain for anybody to use for the cost of a transaction fee. This is separate than traditional “pay-to-play” oracle provider models. It also opens the door for economic incentive as data providers within an oracle pool have a pledge to the pool that can be taxed if that data provider provides bad data or fails to provide any data. This model allows for so much more flexibility than existing oracle providers by enabling governance, strict posting-schedule via an epoch-based program, and democratized data finality.

This novel mechanism is the gateway for oracle providers to produce cheap off-chain data that will actually enable traditional financial smart contracts to be written in a cost effective way, allowing traditional financial companies to be more profitable.

Summary: Code Twice, Implement Once

Much like Cardano, Ergo has spent the past few years with their head's down researching and developing the most elaborate and beautiful foundation for a smart contract platform in the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.

With developers like Robert Kornacki and Alex Cherpunoy at the helm — building a framework that will support a full suite of novel financial smart-contract products for the traditional world, both retail and enterprise alike — Ergo is finally stepping out from their dimly lit coding rooms and into the mainstream.

With the core development having mostly been finished, the cries from loyal Ergo investors for marketing and exposure is now being answered. Now that you know just how revolutionary the technology behind Ergo is, and the problems it solves, prepare yourself for its eventual entrance into the top 10 cryptocurrencies.

Ergo Ecosystem

Sigmaverse: sigmaverse.io is the decentralized applications hub of the Ergo Ecosystem.

Oracle Pools: Oracles are the messengers of blockchain networks. They connect off-chain and on-chain data and create the backbone of DeFi systems. Ergo has an UTXO based approach to oracles with oracle pools that will be cheaper and easier to access for decentralized information.

SigUSD: Ergo’s algorithmic stable coin application is based on the AgeUSD protocol. Smart contracts secure SigUSD’s peg to the US dollar by backing it with SigRSV reserve coins.

ErgoMixer: UTXO based systems have strong privacy features and ErgoMixer is a tool for people who want to protect their digital anonymity.

Ergo Auction House: Ergo’s NFT marketplace can be accessed at ergoauctions.org. Users can trade visual and audio NFTs easily with a non-custodial wallet.

ErgoUtils: Community made multi-purpose tool ergoutils.org is where users can mint NFTs, create custom tokens and use mixer-hops for privacy needs.

Zero-Knowledge Treasury: Ergo’s zero-knowledge vaults are for mutual expenditure and multi-signature wallets; it’s a decentralized on-chain version of a collective bank, or an organization.

ErgoNFTs: A community made NFT display application where you can check your own NFTs.

NIPoPoWs: Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof of Work provide side-chains with light clients and enable cross-chain computations. Ergo.Meta, which is a cookbook for sidechains, will be soon published by Kushti.

Wallets that are endorsed by Ergo:

Ergo Full Node Wallet

Yoroi Web Wallet

Android Wallet (a mobile wallet on Google Play Store)

Exchanges - where to buy

ERG is currently listed on gate.io, coinex, bitcoin.com, waves.exchange, swop.fi, biki TradeOgre, HotBit, and KuCoin. ErgoDex will be launching very soon and the Ergo team is continuing to work on additional listings with other exchanges.

Commuter Love

Pfou ! J’ai enfin pu boucler une quête ouverte depuis 10 ans maintenant, et je suis content. Vive la vie, vive le futur.

De quoi parle-je que vous-vous demandez �� la lecture de cette intro pleine de mystère et riche de promesses. Attrapez-ma main et ensemble revenons aux origines du temps et de l’espace.

COMMUTE ORIGINS

Je bosse à La Défense depuis 2003 et une fois l’émerveillement de bosser dans un quartier d’affaires plein de gratte-ciels passé (au bout de 2 jours quoi), une vérité s’est imposée à moi : le trajet entre la gare RER de La Défense et ma COGIP située dans le quartier du Faubourg de l’Arche est chiant. A l’époque le CNIT et ce quartier récent étaient séparés par le boulevard circulaire et reliés par une passerelle quasi verticale aux marches tout droit sorties de la piste de Xapatan. C’était uuuuuultra relou :

Vers 2007-2008 la passerelle de la mort a giclé, remplacée par une dalle en pente douce sans aucune marche :

Dès que j’ai vu ça, je me suis dit “ça y est, un trajet d’une traite entre le RER et le bureau est enfin possible ! Joie !”

En 2011, j’ai acheté un vélo pliant de chez Strida. Il était hors de question que je fasse tout le trajet à vélo depuis chez moi donc il me fallait un truc pliable facile à transporter dans le RER. Le Strida 5.0 remplissait parfaitement ces conditions:

Je m’en servais quotidiennement pour faire le trajet domicile-gare et gare-bureau deux fois par jour. J’étais heureux jusqu’à ce sombre jour de septembre 2012 ou j’ai pu plier la fourche et la roue dans un sens non-prévu dans le manuel, à la faveur d’une rencontre riche d’enseignements avec un poteau malicieux du coté de l’Université De Vinci. L’incident a tué dans l’œuf mes ambitions de devenir un jour un cycliste professionnel sur vélo pliant :

Mais avant ce funeste évènement, j’avais déjà réalisé qu’avoir un vélo au quotidien c’était chiant : en plus de devoir se le trimballer partout (relou) ou de le laisser attaché dehors (suicide), il y a un aspect que j’avais sous-estimé lors de mon étude de marché : la maintenance. Pourtant j’avais pris un truc avec une courroie à la place de la chaîne et en single speed pour pas me faire chier avec les dérailleurs et tout le bordel. Mais ça n’a pas suffit, dès que j’ai mis le doigt dans la spirale de l’atelier, j’ai été happé tel le krill innocent qui passe devant la gueule ouverte de la baleine bleue débonnaire. Après plusieurs allers-retours physiques et numériques et un dernier message resté sans réponse après un énième souci à la mi-2013, j’ai remisé le Strida dans mon box et suis redevenu piéton. Ah ! Si l’unique distributeur parisien de ce formidable petit vélo n’était pas un sale con, peut-être qu’aujourd’hui je m’en servirais encore, “who knows?” comme on dit en enfer. Je suis donc redevenu un piéton et j’ai continué à envisager d’autres modes de transport pour aller plus vite. Roller ? Skateboard ? Snakeboard ? Les chaussures moches avec la roulette dans le talon ? La… Trottinette ?

En 2015, je tombe sur cette vidéo du Onewheel :

youtube

A l’époque c’est un projet Kickstarter qui se propose de mettre une roue de karting au milieu d’une planche, un peu comme un Solowheel (produit satanique) qui aurait préféré la posture de surfeur à celle du consultant senior en monoski. J’ai attendu patiemment la fin du Kickstarter, j’ai attendu le lancement de la prod, j’ai vu la v2 sortir (“Onewheel+”), j’ai vu la version avec une plus longue autonomie sortir (“Onewheel+ XR”), j’ai attendu l’annonce de la commercialisation en Europe et une fois celle-ci annoncée, je suis allé l’essayer dans un magasin spé à Chatelet. Le produit est super cool, silencieux, puissant mais gros défaut : il pèse lourd. A son contact, j’ai réalisé que cet appareil tient plus du véhicule de loisir de plein-air pour faire le fou le dimanche au Bois de Vincennes que du truc à prendre sous le bras tous les matins dans le RER. Ah et puis surtout, j’ai vu le prix de vente :

DEUX. MILLE. BALLES.

Du coup je jette un oeil au marché des e-skates en pleine explosion depuis que le vlogger Casey Neistat s’est affiché avec une Boosted Board en 2016. Je scout un peu le truc, beaucoup de marques clones chinoises (Yuneec, Meepo, Koowheel, Swagtron...), pas mal de trucs en DIY et une communauté de cinglés qui pensent que le futur de l’Homme c’est de slalomer dans le trafic à 45 km/h. Ces machins ont 4 roues et une planche mais sont à mes yeux aussi proches d’un skate que Laurent Wauquiez d’un homme d’honneur. Pas mon délire, moi je veux un truc sympa pour faire du commute, pas un rover martien tropicalisé pour aller péter des records de vitesse à Times Square.

Je remise le truc dans un coin de ma tête et passe à autre chose.

En avril 2018, je reprends la température du marché à la faveur de quelques potes qui s’interrogent et j’en arrive à une conclusion simple :

Pendant ce temps, le monde se fait envahir de trottinettes Xiaomi qui avec la M365 a réussi un coup de maître :

L’objet est très bien fini, performant et on le trouve autour de 300 EUR. L’espace d’un instant j’envisage l’achat avant de me raviser : aussi sympa soit-il, cet appareil reste une putain de trottinette. Et moi les trottinettes, je peux pas. Dans mon système de valeur, la trottinette est au transport ce que les Duplo sont au jeu de construction. Tu peux construire la cathédrale de Chartres avec, ça restera une cathédrale en Duplo. Ouais c’est idiot mais j’ai jamais dit que je ne l’étais pas.

Je vois plein de gars à la Défense slalomer à la cool entre les piétons, la cravate flottant au vent, je les envie un peu ces bâtards, puis je me rassure en me disant qu’ils sont sur une trottinette, même si elle est puissante et racée.

Je reprends donc contact avec tout ce bordel et je scrute de plus près la Inboard M1, une planche kickstartée que j’avais croisé en 2016 et à propos de laquelle j’étais relativement sceptique :

Je checke Reddit, depuis 2016, la board a été livrée. Les reviews que je croise se plaignent des fausses promesses d’Inboard concernant le poids de la planche sous-évalué et l’autonomie surestimée. Classic Kickstarter shit, mais au moins Inboard a livré un produit. Quelques soucis techniques également ici ou là, un problème d’étanchéité et des soucis moteurs mais dans la grande majorité des cas il s’agit des modèles envoyés aux backers.

Message de service : quand vous backez un truc sur Kickstarter, n’oubliez jamais que ce que vous allez avoir, c’est un modèle de pré-série. Pour le M1 les backers ont été les beta-testeurs et leurs retours ont permis d’affiner le produit final avant de lancer la vraie production.

Résultat : la planche n’a pas bonne presse auprès du subreddit r/electricskateboarding qui compte surtout des gens qui voient dans leur planche leur mode de déplacement urbain principal. Mais aussi critiques soient-ils, tous s’accordent à dire que la planche est très bien finie, que pour un premier produit Inboard s’en sort bien et que pour du commute ça fait carrément le taf. Faut juste savoir à quoi s’attendre concernant le mode de propulsion. Et ça tombe bien parce que c’est aussi ça qui m’intéresse, moi, le mode de propulsion.

LE BONHEUR EST DANS LA ROUE

Dazplaining :

La grande majorité des skates électriques, dont ceux de chez Boosted, utilisent des courroies. On dit de ces planches qu’elles sont “belt-driven” : les moteurs font tourner deux courroies qui entraînent les roues arrières :

L’alternative choisie par Inboard et quelques autres marques (dont Acton il me semble) est celle du “hub motor” : les moteurs sont DANS les roues (comme un Onewheel tiens tiens) et entraînent directement la planche. Dans le cas du M1, on peut même dire que les moteurs SONT les roues, en fait :

Ceci a trois conséquences qui sont celles qui m’ont vendu le produit.

Primo : la planche reste clean, de prime abord on ne voit même pas qu’elle est électrique puisqu’aucun élément ne traine sous la planche et ça j’aime bien.

Deuzio : Aucun élément n’étant exposé, la planche est certifiée Water Resistant IP54 et peut être utilisée sous la pluie (le problème d’étanchéité évoqué plus haut concernait la trappe de la batterie et a été corrigé sur les modèles de production). Après on est bien d’accord, utiliser ce machin sous la pluie, c’est du suicide. L’utiliser juste après, par contre, et rouler dans les flaques sans craindre de flinguer l’appareil, c’est appréciable.

Triano : les hub motors tournent librement quand ils ne sont pas sollicités contrairement aux belt motors dont les courroies freinent les roues. Une planche comme la M1 peut donc être poussée à l’ancienne si la batterie est à plat. Et vue son autonomie, c’est quelque chose qui risque d’arriver.

Ceci se fait a priori au détriment du couple et de la vitesse de pointe qui ne peut égaler celles des planches à courroies. C’est un défaut qui est pour moi compensé par une caractéristique qui est devenue ma priorité sur un skate électrique : pouvoir coaster librement, méthode célébrée par Lupe Fiasco dans son “Kick, Push” :

youtube

La glisse en roue libre, le coast donc, c’est pour moi l’essence du skate (perso, rien à foutre des tricks) : on se propulse et une fois arrivé à la vitesse souhaitée on glisse tranquille. Puis on remet un peu de gaz et ainsi de suite. Je ne sais pas si les courroies permettent de coaster aussi librement mais vu qu’elles n’ont pas de roue-libre, j’imagine que ça ne doit pas être aussi fluide qu’un skate classique. Si vous avez testé et que vous pouvez m’éclairer sur ce point, je suis preneur.

LE FUTUR C’EST MAINTENANT

J’ai donc sauté le pas et ai acheté le Inboard M1 sur Amazon. Une somme assez indécente et 3 jours plus tard, je reçois la bayte.

Constat immédiat : c’est beau. La planche est sobre, toute de noir vêtue, et le dessous est vraiment superbe. C’est lourd (6 Kg) et ça dégage un sentiment de robustesse fort bienvenu. Le process d’appairage de la planche avec la télécommande et/ou l’app mobile est assez génial : on allume la telco, on retourne la planche et on toque 3 fois dessus. Les feux se mettent à clignoter doucement, signe que la planche cherche la télécommande à portée et deviennent fixes quand elle l’a trouvée. C’est d’une simplicité totale, pas de boutons, pas de process de pairing bluetooth, pas de code de jumelage, rien. Ca m’a fait penser à du Apple et c’est pas mal comme comparaison pour un premier produit.

La planche arrive rangée dans son sac de transport, CAR SAVIEZ-VOUS QUE VOUS POUVEZ PRENDRE L’AVION AVEC ?

Inboard insiste en effet pas mal (euphémisme) sur le fait que sa batterie est TSA compliant et peut être prise dans un bagage cabine en avion tandis que la planche voyage en soute. Les skates electriques sont généralement interdits de vol à cause de leurs batteries au Lithium non-amovibles donc Inboard le rappelle dès que c’est possible. Ok, cool. C’est cette batterie amovible qu’Inboard utilise aussi pour balayer les critiques concernant l’autonomie tout juste correcte de sa planche :

“Vous voulez plus d’autonomie ? Bah achetez plus de batteries.”

A 200 dolz la batterie supplémentaire, c’est moins cool même si ça reste vrai dans l’absolu.

Le M1 se contrôle à l’aide d’une télécommande nommée RFLX Remote (marre des noms sans voyelles, mais ok) livrée dans une petite boite de transport, “utile quand vous transporterez le M1 dans son sac car SAVIEZ-VOUS QUE VOUS POUVEZ PRENDRE L’AVION AVEC VOTRE M1 CAR SA BATTERIE EST AMOV-”

Ouais ça va, on sait , merci :

Le maniement est simplissime, la telco comporte une gâchette qui joue le rôle de bouton de l’homme mort, un stick analogique et un bouton On/Off.

Pour avancer on maintient la gachette pressée puis on utilise le stick. Pour freiner, on met le stick dans la position inverse et voila.

Les 5 diodes présentes servent à consulter le niveau de batterie de la telco et du M1 (double-appui) et servent à alterner les 3 riding modes (beginner, intermediate, advanced) via un triple appui. Il y a aussi des raccourcis, comme par exemple gachette + bouton On qui permet d’éteindre les feux de position de la planche.

ET A L’USAGE ALORS ?

Je vais être franc : C’EST SUPER DANGEREUX. En posant le pied sur ce machin, on comprend pourquoi le risque de mort est indiqué à la 3e page du manuel utilisateur :

Les vitesses sont plafonnés par mode. Le Beginner est limité à 8 km/h, le Intermediate à 22 km/h et le Advanced à 32 km/h. A l’heure où j’écris ces lignes, j’ai parcouru 20 km avec cette planche et je n’ai pas encore osé taper la vitesse Max. Les redditors et leurs délires de planches qui filent à 45 km/h sont cinglés, PERSONNE ne devrait rouler à plus de 25 km/h sur la voie publique, avec des vélos, des piétons et des voitures à proximité. Les grandes roues de la board permettent de passer pas mal d’obstacles mais des trucs triviaux comme les changements de revêtement de la chaussée (oh que j’aime l’alternance goudron/segments pavés de Maisons-Alf <3), anodins à vélo, prennent une autre dimension quand on est lancé à 30 km/h sur un truc aux roues en uréthane et sans aucune suspension. Et je ne parle pas du mobilier urbain, inoffensif à pied qui prend une allure bien plus menaçante quand on le croise debout sur un bout de bois.

Les modes sont mal étagés, le beginner est en fait un mode démo pour quand vous voulez faire tester la planche à quelqu’un. Pour le proprio il n’a plus aucune utilité au bout de 3 minutes, et encore. En plus de ça l’accélération et donc le couple disponible sont aussi lockés par mode. Avec mon gabarit que l’on peut qualifier de généreux selon tous les standards ISO en vigueur, je dois parfois utiliser le mode 3 pour avoir plus de couple dans certaines situations comme des pentes un peu prononcées ou un démarrage à une intersection que je veux vite franchir puis vite basculer sur le 2 pour éviter de m’emplafonner dans un bus 30 m plus loin parce que j’aurais atteint la vitesse du son entre-temps. Je n’ai jamais autant ressenti la fragilité de l’existence qu’en cruisant dans ma ville mais…

LES SENSATIONS SONT OUFFISSIMES !!!

Rouler de nuit sur une piste cyclable bien clean avec le vent dans les cheveux et le bruit des roues sur l’asphalte souligné par le bruit futuriste du moteur quand on remet un peu de jus, c’est un pur bonheur. Je n’ai pas un background fourni en e-skate mais si des gens trouvent le M1 décevant, je n’imagine pas ce que doivent donner leurs boards de prédilection.

Un des points positifs qui remonte le plus souvent sur Reddit, c’est le comportement de la planche. Elle ne donne pas l’impression de devoir dompter un mustang épileptique à chaque sortie contrairement à d’autres marques (apparemment Evolve est un nom qui revient souvent dès qu’on parle de sauvagerie totale). Pour l’instant le M1 ne m’a pas mis en défaut, les quelques frayeurs que j’ai pu me faire sont entièrement de ma faute.

Coté évolutivité la mise à jour des firmwares de la planche et de la télécommande se fait via l’app iOS Inboard Vision. Plutôt claire et bien foutue quoiqu’assez sommaire, elle permet aussi de contrôler la planche en l’absence de la télécommande (je déconseille fortement) :

J’ai mis à jour le firmware de la planche (je ne pensais pas écrire ce genre de truc un jour), elle passe en 2.4 et ajoute maintenant un mode veille prolongée pour éviter de vider la batterie quand on n’utilise pas la planche (elle cesse de chercher la télécommande au bout de 60 secondes et ne recommence que si le gyroscope interne détecte un mouvement). L’autre ajout c’est un allumage plus fort des LEDs arrière lorsque l’on freine. Des feux de stop quoi. Ils sont forts quand même chez Inboard.

Vous l’avez compris, le produit me plait, ce n’est pas la meilleure board pour en faire son moyen de transport urbain principal mais en même temps, je ne suis pas new-yorkais, donc j’osef. Pour faire le lien entre 2 modes de transport et se balader à la cool, le M1 semble tout indiqué. Le suivi d’Inboard est plutôt encourageant et je leur souhaite de sortir plein de produits dans la même veine.

Maintenant on ne va pas se mentir, je reste sur la défensive quant à la durée de vie du produit. Les trucks, les roues, les roulements sont standard, pas de souci pour s’approvisionner ailleurs, par contre les roues arrière/moteur et la couche d’uréthane sur mesure qui sert de roue (“REV wheels”) sont propriétaires, tout comme Fouiny, la batterie et la télécommande. Si Inboard met la clé sous la porte, je vais me retrouver niqué en cas de casse. Et malgré l’aspect maintenance-free mis en avant par la marque je ne me fais aucune illusion : 120 Kg posés sur une planche mue par 2 moteurs de 800W chacun qui roule tous les jours sur des pavés, c’est ÉVIDENT que ça va péter à un moment donné.

Malgré ce nuage à l’horizon, je peux dire ici que le M1 est l’iPhone des skates électriques et ce n’est pas péjoratif: ce n’est pas le meilleur coté performances, mais c’est celui au design le plus sympa, aux petits détails soignés et qui reste le plus homogène en termes de qualité perçue et d’expérience de glisse. Pour 999 USD, il vaut son prix. A 1300 EUR, je comprends qu’il faille réfléchir un peu avant d’arrêter son choix. Je me doute que d’ici 1 an il existera un concurrent sérieux sur tout ce qu’Inboard a fait correctement pour les 2/3 du prix. Mais une fois qu’on est en phase avec la vibe du M1 en termes d’accélération et de vmax, le seul vrai point noir c’est l’autonomie un peu juste, dictée par la certification TSA qu’Inboard a voulu obtenir et qui interdit de passer la barre des 97Wh pour une batterie.

Une boite sympa proposerait à la vente des batteries plus puissantes mais affichées comme non embarquables en avion. Une boite moins sympa ne proposerait rien et regarderait ses clients acheter 2 batteries standard au lieu d’une seule XL pour maximiser ses ventes.

Satané capitalisme.

PowerColor Red Devil RX 6600 XT: Review | Hashrate | Specs | Ethereum

PowerColor Red Devil RX 6600 XT: Review 2021 | Hashrate | Specs | Ethereum - The AMD RX 6600 XT is a video card of the intermediate segment, focused on gamers seeking a board with performance to face FullHD at full quality and high frame rate. After scaling the RDNA 2 architecture for a market focused on 1440p, it's time for owners of 1080p monitors to be given an option to replace midrange cards that are no longer up to the task, such as the still very popular GTX 1060. The AMD did not work with reference design in this product, and we only have models partner with this chip. In this review we will use the PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 6600 XT , a very robust design based on this Radeon chip and with a powerful power and cooling system, as well as an imposing look, typical of the Red Devil line. Radeon RX 6600 XT GPU graphics cards were announced with a suggested retail price starting at $379 , putting it $50 more expensive than GeForce RTX 3060 12GB and also representing a $100 increase over its predecessor Radeon RX 5600 XT . As we have warned, this is the reference prices of AMD and Nvidia, which have rarely come to reality due to the global economic context. Despite the official price of $329, the cheapest RTX 3060 we found was in the $699 range on Newegg, giving an example of how completely decoupled from reality are the values suggested by GPU manufacturers. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSSexMWLmEm/embed/ IMPORTANT NOTICE: with the current market making any price comparison impossible, we are left without minimum references to recommend or not a product. Because of this, we will no longer distribute seals and recommendations for analyzed products until the situation normalizes, since cost is a fundamental guide in our interpretation of a product. RDNA2 The RDNA2 arrives with important leaps in performance and efficiency compared to the previous generation. AMD claims that the new RDNA2-based chips can deliver a performance jump with twice the performance, and an efficiency jump with up to 54% more performance per watt consumed. AMD's new microarchitecture is still based on the same 7-nanometer lithograph used in first-generation RDNA, for example. Gains were achieved through manufacturing optimization. The result is up to 50% less energy consumption to operate at the same frequencies as the RDNA 1, or at the same consumption level to increase the operating frequency by 30%. These gains were the result of a series of optimizations, such as increased refinement in frequency variations, higher operating clocks, pipeline redesign, better geometry distribution and tessellation. However, without a doubt, one of the technology that brings the most profound changes is Infinity Cache. With the increasingly heavy duty cycles, AMD took a different approach from the faster GDDR6X memories and larger interface of the GeForce RTX 30. Bringing the expertise of the processor area with the chipsets, AMD introduced 128MB of memory acting as a cache of level 3. Bringing a concept similar to the Infinity Fabric, present in Ryzen, this technology was named Infinity Cache. This new technology is also partly responsible for the greater energy efficiency of RDNA2, while also reducing latency by 34%, on average, compared to first-generation RDNA. Another important new feature is the introduction of dedicated hardware to speed up the Ray Tracing process . For this, AMD implemented one "Ray Accelerator" per computational unit, delivering up to 10x more performance than the software implementation. These units have the objective of calculating the intersections of the tracing of light rays, a process that is completed by the traditional shaders of the computational units. This enables effects such as realistic reflections and dynamic global lighting, with more realistic shadows and lighting. In addition to Ray Tracing, RDNA2 support features such as Variable Rate Shadding , which makes it possible to devote less processing power to parts of the image; the introduction of Mesh Shaders , a much more efficient implementation of the use of shader resources; and Sampler Feedback , which uses data from the previous frame to more efficiently determine how textures will load. All these features together are essential for better use of hardware and to enable better graphics, with a good level of performance. The RX 6600 XT The RX 6700 XT is based on the Navi 23, which brings technologies and features similar to those present in the RX 6900 XT and RX 6800 XT models, but scaled down. This board brings a total of 32 computing units, far from the 80 present on the top of the line RX 6900 XT, and just below the 40 present on the RX 6700 XT. As a result, other structures were also reduced. The amount of Infinity Cache was reduced to 32MB, while Ray Acelerators, specialized in accelerating processes related to Ray Tracing, are also reduced to 32, because in RDNA 2 microarchitecture we always have one Ray Acelerator per Compute Unit. In computational units this chip is below the Compute Units count of the RX 5700 XT (40) and RX 5600 XT (36). But in contrast the evolutions of RDNA 2 compared to the first generation brings its advantages, an example is the clocks. The RX 6600 XT boosts up to 2589MHz much higher than the respective 1905MHz and 1560MHz of the RX 5700 XT and RX 5600 XT. Consumption has also scaled down, with the board operating with just an eight-pin connector and with an estimated total consumption of 160W. The memories suffered advances and setbacks compared to the one used in the predecessor RX 5600 XT, with the memory increased from 6 to 8GB GDDR6, but the memory interface was reduced from 192-bit to 128-bit, with memory bandwidth falling from 288 GB/s to 256GB/s, all this comparing how it was on the RX 5600 XT to how it was on the RX 6600 XT.

In the video connections part, three DisplayPort 1.4a and one HDMI 2.1. system used We made a change to our graphics card testing platform, now based on an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor. Several other high performance components come with this system, such as NVMe SSDs and 32GB RAM clocked at 3200MHz (CL16). Below are some pictures of the card installed on our new video card test bench: https://www.youtube.com/embed/WiSR-IHhBuc Before the tests, details of the machine, operating system, drivers and software/games used in the tests: OUR TESTING MACHINE, APPS AND GAMES WERE UPDATED IN MAY 2021 Machine used in the tests: - AMD Ryzen 9 processor 5900X- GIGABYTE X570 AORUS Xtreme motherboard- HyperX Predator RGB 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16SSD - Kingston KC2500 250GB + 2TB SSD- Cooling system CM MasterLiquid ML360 V2 RGB- Source Power Supply CM v1300W Platinum- Custom CM MasterFrame 700 Enclosure Operating System and Drivers:- Windows 10 Pro 64 Bits- AMD Catalyst Adrenalin 21.7.x Applications/Games: - Adobe Premiere CC 2021 (GPU rendering)- Blender (GPU rendering)- SPECviewpeft 13 (Solid Works/Maya, GPU rendering)- 3DMark (Fire Strike Ultra / Port Royal)- Assassin's Creed Valhalla (DX12 )- Flight Simulator 2020 (DX11)- Forza Horizon 4 (DX12)- Grand Theft Auto 5 (DX11)- Rainbow Six Sieg and (Vulkan)- Red Dead Redemption 2 (Vulkan)- Resident Evil Village (DX12)- The Division 2 (DX12)- Watch Dogs: Legion (DX12) GPU-ZBelow the main screen GPU-Z showing some key features board techniques. Overclock We use AMD Radeon Software to overclock, setting the base clock at 2500MHz and the turbo at 2700MHz. It wasn't possible to raise her standard clocks that much, but otherwise the clocks are quite high. This made it possible to run the tests with stability and complete the full battery. The memories went up from 16GHz to 16.6GHz, the limit to keep the system stable. NOTE: Overclock at your own risk. Overclocking may result in loss of warranty. Energy consumption We started with power consumption tests with all the boards compared. All tests were done with the same system, which gives an exact idea of what each VGA consumes. It is worth noting that the value is the total consumption of the machine and not just the video card, which gives an idea of how much a complete system consumes. Comparisons with tests from other sites can yield very different results due to changes in the systems used. The tests consist of the minimum consumption of the system, when it is in idle mode after the maximum load test, in this case running 3DMark through Fire Strike Ultra mode. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15033?iframeid=15033 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15034?iframeid=15034 NOTE: In the test running the 3DMark application, we considered 5 to 10W as a margin of error, due to the variation that happens when testing the same card. Temperature Another very important test when we talk about video cards, the chip temperature. Tests consist of either the system in idle mode or in continuous use. It is important to note that some cards have a system that turns off the fans when the GPU is not being required, such as when performing simple Windows tasks or even simpler games. Therefore, there are temperatures considerably higher than some models in this situation, but in practice they do not compromise the board. According to the manufacturers, this feature increases the lifespan and consumes less energy. Therefore, there can be large differences in the idle mode temperature, which does not characterize a bad card if the temperature is high. Why did the board get a lower temperature when overclocked?This is a normal situation on current boards. The rotation of the FANs is faster and consequently they make the GPU cool down faster, in some cases with a lower temperature than in the normal situation. Why does the reference system cooler board have a lower idle temperature than a theoretically better cooler board?Because current video cards with newer cooler designs tend to turn off the FANs when the temperature drops below numbers like 40, 45 or even 50 degrees, so when the FANs are turned off the tendency is for the GPU not to lower the temperature any more than than the limit that turns off the FANs. First let's test the cards with the system in idle mode: https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15035?iframeid=15035 For the in-use board test, we measured the peak temperature during the Ultra mode tests. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15036?iframeid=15036 NOTE: Temperatures can vary greatly depending on the region of the country, system where the board is installed and test used. Below are some photos of the plate with a Flir thermal camera, showing the temperature in some parts of the plate body: Applications With the increase in applications that take advantage of the processing power of GPUs, we've updated our test battery with some of the most important software on the market. Adobe Premiere CC 2021Adobe Premiere is a world reference when it comes to video editing software, and in its latest versions it has also taken advantage of the benefit of GPUs to help speed up rendering. Below is the behavior of the compared plates: https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15037?iframeid=15037 BlenderAnother nice test to see how the video card behaves in helping with the process of rendering images and videos. Blender stands out for being open to use and also updated with the latest technologies on the market. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15038?iframeid=15038 SPECviewperf 13The professional application test suite is comprised of a comprehensive battery of hardware-intensive scenarios to render diverse uses ranging from architecture, mining, and medicine. We ran two tests, one focusing on performance in Maya and the other in SolidWorks. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15039?iframeid=15039 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15040?iframeid=15040 3DMark And if we talk about benchmarks, we couldn't leave out one of the most iconic tests in the world, especially for video card performance, 3DMark. Our battery consists of three tests, but 2 of them show technologies that only newer board models bring, Ray Tracing (Port Royal) and DLSS (DLSS Feature Test). We ran the latest version of the app from UL Benchmark (which purchased Futuremark), and all tests consider the default profile setting, with no changes. Below are the results: https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15041?iframeid=15041 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15042?iframeid=15042 Game tests Now let's get to what really matters: performance tests on some of the top games on the market. To help understand the following graphics: Above 60fps is ideal for monitors operating at this frequency. The closer to 30fps, the worse the fluidity becomes and, below 30, the game starts to become "unplayable" Assassin's Creed ValhallaOpen world game has ample scenarios and a benchmark with a good amount of characters and structures, making it a challenge for both the processor and the video card. The game uses the Ubisoft Anvil engine, an evolution of AnvilNext 2.0 present in the series since Assassi'ns Creed Unity. The version used in Valhalla on PC is based on the DirectX 12 API. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15043?iframeid=15043 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15044?iframeid=15044 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15045?iframeid=15045 Flight Simulator 2020Microsoft's new flight simulator arrived with immense hype and soon became a reference when it comes to high quality graphics, with incredible scenery bordering on reality at various times, ideal for seeing the behavior of video cards. Despite being a recent game and from Microsoft, the API used is still DX11. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15046?iframeid=15046 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15047?iframeid=15047 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15048?iframeid=15048 Forza Horizon 4Playground Games' game uses its own graphics engine and, as exclusive for Microsoft systems, is fully developed for DirectX 12. This game stands out for its excellent graphics and the ability to deliver a good level of performance on multiple hardware, including some more limited ones. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15049?iframeid=15049 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15050?iframeid=15050 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15051?iframeid=15051 Grand Theft Auto VThe game is already a classic and after years it still stands firm as one of the most played games. Based on DirectX 11, it also brings a sense of older graphics engines based on Microsoft's still popular API. It's a very demanding test on processor, and faster memories also have very noticeable impacts. For modern video stages, it's no longer a big challenge. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15052?iframeid=15052 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15053?iframeid=15053 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15054?iframeid=15054 Rainbow Six SiegeThe Ubisoft game has as high points the use of the Vulkan low level API in its most recent implementation. This Esport demands high frame rates to be played satisfactorily, and is usually one of the most efficient games in achieving this performance in multiple components. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15055?iframeid=15055 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15056?iframeid=15056 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15057?iframeid=15057 Red Dead Redepmtion 2Game by RockStar, with beautiful graphics is a good reference to measure the behavior of video cards. Our test considers the game running on the Vulkan API, which behaves very well on both AMD and NVIDIA cards. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15058?iframeid=15058 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15059?iframeid=15059 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15060?iframeid=15060 Resident Evil VillageCapcom's game uses the excellent RE Engine, a graphics engine that delivers interesting results from the PC's high-end hardware to more limited platforms like the Nintendo Switch. Resident Evil 8 highlights complex and richly detailed scenarios, using Ray Tracing to illuminate the scenarios and with features such as FidelityFX available. In tests we take a tour of Castle Dimitrescu, one of the heaviest and most detailed locations in the game. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15061?iframeid=15061 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15062?iframeid=15062 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15063?iframeid=15063 Tom Clancy's The Division 2The Division 2 uses its own graphics engine developed by Ubisoft Massive, dealing with complex scenarios and large amounts of particles on the screen. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15064?iframeid=15064 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15065?iframeid=15065 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15066?iframeid=15066 Watch Dogs:Nvidia-supported Legion Game is based on the Disrupt graphics engine and has extensive use of RTX technologies such as DLSS, and also features Ray Tracing, being accelerated by both GeForce RTX and Radeon RDNA 2 hardware. a futuristic London full of geometry and characters, which combined with the light ray tracing effects make it quite a challenge to run the game. https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15067?iframeid=15067 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15068?iframeid=15068 https://benchmarks.com.br/graficos/v/15069?iframeid=15069 video gameplay https://www.youtube.com/embed/jUIjuwPZj6Y Conclusion The efficiency of the RDNA 2 has scaled well in its reduction for the RX 6600 XT, and we have gains of 10 to 20% over the predecessor RX 5600 XT and a very close performance in many cases with the RX 5700 XT. In the case of Adobe Premiere the 6600 XT proved less efficient even when compared to the 5600 XT, probably due to the memory bandwidth that is now lower. But overall we didn't see this drop, on the contrary as highlighted above.The Read the full article
