Debating a GPU upgrade. Looking for input from those running an Arc A770.
  • Thanks for the input. Yeah, my research has been more linux specific. My feeling was that Intel would perform well under linux, but browsing around most of what I've been finding are posts from a year ago, and nothing more current. I'm assuming that the cards (and more specifically driver support) would only get better in time (assuming it's not the next optane... haha).

  • Debating a GPU upgrade. Looking for input from those running an Arc A770.

    Basically, just like the title says. I've had my 1080ti since launch. It is without question the single greatest PC component I've ever bought, but my computer usage has changed. I don't really game anymore, and if I do, it's generally on my Xbox. I run linux exclusively and generally speaking I stick with OpenSuse Tumbleweed or NixOS. While the 1080ti performs perfectly fine for me, I'm just tired of dealing with Nvidia drivers breaking things from time to time when updating. Machine specs are as follows;

    Mobo: X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI CPU: Ryzen 3900X RAM: 32gb Gskill Trident Monitors: Dual Dell S2417DG (1440p, 144hz) Case: Fractal Design Pop Mini Silent

    Again, I don't really game on my PC anymore, and I spend most of my time in Freecad and Kdenlive. If I'm going to replace my 1080ti I want to make sure that I'm still upgrading. If I decided 6 months from now I want to play something on PC, I'd still like the ability with "decent" graphics.

    I've been looking at the Arc A770, but a lot of the things I'm reading are a year old and saying things like; "It performs well, but beware of driver issues", or "Most things are working, but it's still got a ways to go". I'm just wondering if a year later things have gotten better?

    If the A770 isn't really "ready" yet, I'm fine with AMD also. Just wondering what card people would suggest.

    My budget is probably in the $250 - $350 range. I could probably stretch to $400 if I really needed to, but I'd like not to.

    Server suggestions?
  • Yeah, I love the Hyve Zeus servers. I currently have three making up my proxmox cluster. They are great so long as you have another system for storage, as they only fit 2x 2.5" drives otherwise. I have my cluster linked to an SSD pool on trunas via 10gb for all my vm's.

    As for the GPU - Yeah, it's too long because of the cooler. It's possible I could get an alternative cooler, and it's something I could look at. Although the server I bought for it has already been sent back since the gpu didn't fit.

    The NUC isn't a bad idea, but I got a good deal on the P2000 and was hoping to utilize that. I recently started hosting plex for my in-laws, and want to get our daughter setup with an account with her going off to college. My current plex setup works fine, but as I'm adding people accessing it remotely, I just figured it would be nice to put the P2000 into play.

  • Server suggestions?

    Hey all, just wondering what others are using for a rack mount server option. I don't want to break the bank, and I have a P2000 I plan to use for transcoding. I had picked up a Hyze Zeus server, but unfortunately, the GPU won't fit in that box. I plan to have this machine dedicated to Plex. All of my data will be stored on my trunas server and server up to plex via NFS shares, so the server doesn't need much storage capacity. I would prefer the server to be a 1u rack mount... but if 2u is going to offer the best option, I will settle for 2u.

    Large number of RX and TX pauses?

    Just wondering if this is normal... or is there something I need to be looking at here? These Rx pauses are the result of roughly 48 hours worth of traffic. The device pictured is the CRS317-1G-16S+, and the switch on the other end is a CRS326-24G-2S+. I'm using brand new FS tranceivers and an fs om4 lc to lc fiber patch. I've swapped the tranceivers for 10gtek ones (also brand new), and it didn't make a difference.

    When I look at the CSR326-24G, I see very similar numbers except in the tx pauses column... which I think makes sense. I'm just not sure if there is something I should do? Or, could someone help explain what might be causing it? I'm new to 10gb networking and mikrotik as a whole, so I'm just trying to dial things in.

    Noah Gragson suspended by Legacy Motor Club! Josh Berry to fill in!
  • Short and sweet!

    This news bums me out though. I generally like Noah. He's had arguably the worst rookie season of any driver I can remember... and now this?! With rumors already swirling that JHN was possibly in line to take his job already, Noah has certainly not done himself any favors.

  • Noah Gragson suspended by Legacy Motor Club! Josh Berry to fill in!
  • Looks like Noah liked a social media post, specifically a meme about George Floyd. I'm not posting the meme here... you can go find it if you want.

    EDIT: Per Jeff Gluck, NASCAR has suspended Noah indefinitely.

    Justin Haley speaks on move to RWR.

    Interesting interview here. Seems odd to me that he brings up the election a couple times as part of the reasoning for the move.

    Justin Haley signs multi-year contract with Rick Ware Racing
  • I was equally as surprised. I watched Eric's video (Out of the Groove) and he brings up an interesting snip-it in regards to Haley's uncle owning a charter. Curious if RWR /RFK are gaining said charter? If so, does Kaulig go down to being a single car team next year?

  • Advice on a Printer
  • My first printer was a creality cr6 (kickstarter edition), and it's been absolutely fantastic. I use my printer to solve problems mostly by designing my own parts for things. My printers really are tools to me. My cr6 doesn't get used a lot, but I turn it on, run the auto level, and hit print. I've printed roughly 2000 hours with it, and I've had one jam, and zero failed prints (I've stopped a couple for various reasons, but I've never walked in to find a spaghetti mess). I upgraded to the community firmware, a dual drive extruder, and capricorn. Also, I print almost exclusively in PLA.

    My second printer is a kingroon kp3s. I've printed very few parts with it. I got it as a toy, and plan to install klipper and just be able to print fast. I like the small for factor, direct drive, and linear rails. It's a decent printer, but it's not as "easy" as my cr6 (no ABL, and my bed seems to have a high spot right in the middle). The prints I've printed for testing are small, and the quality has been really good. I just haven't had a lot of time to play with it and really dial it in.

    All this said... I'd by a mk4 in a split second for my use case. Again, as a tool that I turn on every few months, prusa is a known workhorse. My only complaint with my cr6 is it's slow... And the mk4 would take care of that.

  • Chicago gives its regards!
  • I'm stoked for this race! I think the idea is cool, and I hope it works out! I heard on (I think it was) Denny's podcast that some extremely high percentage of ticket sales for this Chicago race are for first timers. That's good! New exposure is a good thing.

    I'm mildly bummed at the drivers reactions to it thus far. When they've been asked, no one has seemed excited. Infact, most have said they've not done (at least prior to this week) any Sim time getting used to the layout. Maybe that's common? I don't know... But I would have thought for sure that a teams and drivers would want to be the first to win it...or...potentially...the only ones to ever win a street course.

    Regardless. I'm hoping for a good show, and I hope drivers find they like it.

  • RIF was reddit to me
  • I echo these exact thought, except it was sync for me. Without question the most used app, always first to be installed a new phone, and had the designated spot on the home screen.

    Makes me sad where things are going.

    What network hardware do you trust?
  • I'm currently running pfsense, and then mikrotik and ubiquiti switched and ubiquiti AP's. I'm slowly removing the ubiquiti switches and moving to mikrotik as I'm upgrading to 10gbe. Mikrotik switches have a reputation of being reliable, capable, and cheap-ish. So far I like them. While I love ubiquiti's single pane of glass approach with the unifi controller, I wanted to get away from that a bit. I work in IT, and most things I encounter don't have that... And are configured via cli and or web interface. When I built my home network I jumped into ubiquiti for the ease. Now I'm back tracking for more learning.

    Noah's back for Nashville!!

    Nice to see Noah will be back on track this weekend! Guy took a pretty nasty lick, and his post care-center interview he looked pretty dazed. Glad he's back!

    Gotta give it to Tony... Friggin love this response!! Haha

    Coming from reddit, and had a question.

    So, with the debacle that is reddit currently I decided to give lemmy a try. Curious if there will be weekly race threads here for everyone? I think the weekly race threads are fun, specially since I don't have any friends local that care about racing.

    Hope we can get this sub rolling.
