Re: General discussion chat Time for some grammatical deduction, kids! At first glance, the sentence we are presented with has no discernible sentence structure. It has no proper punctuation and a method of verbal formatting closer to French than English. It is reasonable to assume that the forward slashes that follow his "sentence" were meant to be periods: "cscheater.era.ee are the textures and maps on there for gmod legit.." Now it's time to figure out just what the hell that means. The URL describes looks rather suspicious, so I'm electing not to visit it, but I think that it's rather self-explanatory: cscheater.era.ee most likely is a website to download counterstrike textures for Garry's Mod- and thus the sentence (or at least the meaning of it) becomes relatively clear: he is informing us (or advertising) a website to download textures for Gmod. Based on this inference, I have restructured the sentence so that it more closely resembles English: "The website cscheater.era.ee has the textures and maps for Gmod [there] and they're legit!" You're welcome.
Re: General discussion chat I've just started a blog thingy. Just because. Don't know. Want to write down things and people read them.
Re: General discussion chat You restructured it completely wrong, too. "cscheater.era.ee are the textures and maps on there for gmod legit//" The fact that it says "are the [...] on there for gmod legit//" makes it obvious. The phrasing is a question, and the "//" is a failed attempt at question marks, which, incidentally, use the same key as the / character. So before making a condescending post about someone's grammar and typing when they might not speak English as their first language, at least get it right yourself.
Re: General discussion chat "cscheater.era.ee are the textures and maps on there for gmod legit//" I believe the sentence in question is actually interrogative. You need punctuation show it, like this: cscheater.era.ee: are the textures and maps on there for gmod legit?? I would assume that the slashes are actually intended to be multiple exclamations. Pressing the question mark key twice without pressing shift gives us // when using a standard keyboard. There is also a misplaced modifier here, the prepositional phrase "for gmod" should be after "maps" Therefore, the restructured sentence should look like this: The website cscheater.era.ee: are the textures and maps for gmod there legit? /jk
Re: General discussion chat http://metro.co.uk/2015/01/11/birmi...lothes-reports-fox-news-5018431/?ito=facebook Can fox even be considered news anymore? For the record, Muslim population of UK is about 4.4%, Birmingham does have an above average rate but Muslims are still a minority group, there has been no recorded case of Muslim police officers beating people over the clothes they wear.
Re: General discussion chat As an American I would like to apologize to the world for the atrocity that is Fox news.
Re: General discussion chat no To be fair, neither can CNN or many others. They're all hype machines producing FUD.
Re: General discussion chat Hmm... Video editing computer. That FX-6100 will be good enough, rendered HD video with it before, was faster than my i5. Should I even invest in an expensive GPU, or just render with the CPU only? Sorry if I sound a little like Koenigsegg, but I really, fully don't know. Editing setups are kind of different to gaming rigs, which are my forte.
Re: General discussion chat I don't think you need a Quadro. Use a card with higher CUDA counts unless you're doing very high-end rendering. Even then you only buy it because they offer help if you have Quadro/FirePro.
Re: General discussion chat A GTX 9__ is like a very good setup right now. A Quadro is a is a GeForce except with rather expensive bits of code.
Re: General discussion chat Quadro cards are built for precision. I've read on sites like Tom's Hardware that precision is better for rendering as opposed to straight-line speed and performance.
Re: General discussion chat Not really. They have better double precision. Double precision is like 64-bit for GPUs IIRC. Either way, cards have a certain FP64 rate. Some are 1/8 of single precision, some are 1/4, some are 1/16, some are 1/32. Remember how Tahiti (7970, 280x) had awesome compute performance? 1/4 double precision. Kepler actually has a very similar performance when unlocked, but they were restricted to 1/24. TITAN was up at 1/3 and smashed the 7970. (Of course it was also a cut down GK110 and not GK104 or whatever the 680 was.)
Re: General discussion chat well, in the titans case that's actually because it's meant to be a combination of workstation(Quadro) and gaming(GeForce) hardware so it makes sense for it to have such good compute performance (same reason it has high amounts of vRam, for very detailed renders)
Re: General discussion chat Right, it's still because the 1/3FP64 though. The 780 has the same cores, but something like 1/6FP64 which makes it slower.
Re: General discussion chat The Titan is basically a very expensive 780 that's better at double precision. It's a failure because you can get a 970 and a quadro for the money. The 900 series has a 1/32 ratio, seems like Nvidia really wants you to buy a Quadro.
