ive tried on gtx 1060 in 2016. its obviously had bandwidth problem as i can play on ultra but it can only go to up like 40 fps

Could maybe be useful as a mining riser, since they don't need much bandwidth. 4 cards on a single slot would be killer if mining wasn't dead.

[@lwvmobile]

In my experience of trying one out, depending on the card atleast a 50 percent performance decrease, but made worse as the frame rate seems to fluctuate wildly.

[@caddilacbob]

try it with vive wireless

[@TuxieBSOD]

It's actually really good. I am not sure what the performance difference is, but i took my decent laptop with a 980ti on one of those 1x expansion slots from banggood. Took out the wifi card in the laptop, put in the cable, dragged the cable out via the dvd drive slot that's never used. So damn smooth. Maxed... well. All the games I liked without issue. Only problem is with loading in new areas, because the texture loading is bottlenecked pretty heavily. That, and the cables I used were unshielded, leading to a crash like.. every four days? Worth it.

[@ninjanippledog725]

yeah, there is a problem, Ive played on shit comps 99% of the time too, but I dont play fucking stupid when someone is showing proper lag in an online game. I's not even just frame drops, and especially bad when those parts should be having a breeze. Stop playing fukin stupid and trying to be soOo relatable, and think maybe for half a second how they were probably partially reacting to the hindrance of the extensions, and in reference to what it should actually be performing at.

holding down a live capacitor with any part of your body part is an awful idea.

[@prodbynuno7119]

Fuck it

[@bussin3456]

Isn't it just if you touch the output of the capacitor that it's a bad idea? Correct me if I am wrong though

[@KluveRothtar]

@@bussin3456 If all is well, technically yes... However it fell off, was replaced by another and hot glued in place. On top of that it was getting hot. Have you seen capacitors fail? They blow, and best case scenario get incredibly hot incredibly fast and can burn you pretty seriously. Capacitors are not a component you want to go wrong near anything you value. A classmate of mine blew a massive capacitor in a quantum lab we were in while I was in university and it was violent and a miracle he didn't get hurt.

[@kavokz]

I remember when UV reactive stuff was in. My first PC had a transparent acrylic case, UV reactive cables, and UV CCFL tubes. Oh yeah, and it was a 3GHz Pentium 4. It was pretty baller.

[@TheTopMostDog]

Man that 3ghz p4 was the bees knees. I remember having to log into my mates' MSN accounts and receive their offline messages (crying emote spam) so they were able to log in at home on their inferior CPUs. Loading a map on BF2 took around 10 minutes, though; click join, go get a cup of soup and hope that the round didn't end and trigger a mapchange while loading in. Good times. Honestly, it was good times.

[@BeCurieUs]

Oh god, I remember this god awful UV acrylic power supply I bought. Back with 1 gig of ram was a killer amount of ram!

No way lmfao, my first ever pc also had a fully transparent case with a bunch of uv stuff, I even had 4 transparent-color fans that lit up... it had a shitty dual core amd though

The 1st device is for cryptomining. It's so you can run a bunch of video cards on one base machine.. obviously saving money.

I had one of those pci fan coolers back in the day. It made a slight difference in a case with bad air flow. I also crammed an 80mm fan behind the motherboard socket in a case that wasn’t made for cable management and saw decent reductions in cpu temps.
