GDDR6 vs GDDR6X VRAM: Which To Buy In 2024? GPU shopping can getconfusing, especially because there are two types of ‘current gen’ memory (VRAM): GDDR6 and GDDR6X. Is one better than the other, or is it just marketing? Well it turns out that GDDR6X definitelyisbetter than GDDR6, but not by a massive amount. Plus only NVIDIA sell GDDR6X cards after an exclusive deal with Micron: AMD have stuck with GDDR6 only....
Grounding My Outdoor Ethernet Cables (Ubiquiti ETH-SP-G2 Surge Protector Install) A previous video coveredhow (and why) I ran three internet cables from my house to my garage. This included two copper-based CAT7 cables that were run in a shallow trench. This project worked well and delivered super fast internet speeds around all parts of my property (and it meant that all four of my Eero Pro 6 routers now run in wired backhaul mode)....
Playing With Dirt! Running CAT7 & Fibre Internet To My Garage Outbuilding The detached garage/outbuilding in my new house is 15 metres/50 foot away from my main house – meaning that it was a big struggle to get working Wi-Fi in my garage, and on my driveway. I did try setting up an Eero point in my garage, but the Eero app rejected this – complaining of poor placement. As a result, I ran two CAT7 Ethernet cables and a fiber optic cable in an underground trench, before backfilling with gravel and scalpings as part of my backyard landscaping....
The ‘Joys’ Of Setting Up My Home Network Again (After Moving House) I recently moved house, and this meant that I had to set up my home network from scratch again. My old house had a fairly solid four Eero setup with three wired Eeros (and one wireless in the garage), so could I beat this in my new house? Actually… yes, sort of. I did have a few issues along the way, but after solving those, I now have a solid Wi-Fi connection throughout my whole property – inside and out....
Windows Central Verdict Forza Motorsport (2023) isn’t just a new beginning for the legendary simulation racing franchise, it also represents a previously unreached peak for the series. Turn 10 Studios have done an incredible job delivering one of the best core driving experiences of any game, but not everything has been properly rebuilt from the ground up. Rebuilt physics and systems absolutely shine in core driving experience Performance is nearly flawless, with crisp and detailed visuals and lighting...
Spotting A ‘Fake’ (Or Temperamental) Ethernet Network Cable I was recentlyre-setting up my home network, and I noticed that all devices in my study were limited to 100 Mbps read/write speeds. This was despite the fact that I have a 500 Mbps up/down package from my ISP,Hyperoptic. So I went looking into this and I tested various ethernet network cables throughout my home, and it turns out that this particular cable was the problem:...
Right (And Wrong!) Methods Of GPU Cable Routing Okay, I’ll admit it: whenever I build a PC, the cable management ends up resembling Medusa’s hair first thing in the morning: What’s worse is that I sometimes leave it that way for months (sorry!). However havinggood, organized cable managementbrings a number of benefits: from better case airflow to calming our OCD tendencies! Unfortunately the GPU is often hardest to route cables for – partly because modern GPUs need two or three power cables, and partly due to their position in the case....
