They introduced the new Quadra boards (high end productivity and scientific) at beyond consumer prices. However, Nvidia slipped a clue that something is coming on August 20, at the big convention in Cologne Germany.

In today's environment I'd get nothing less than 16GB for gaming, as the GPU needs a LOT of memory and it usually uses some of the total system Ram. Hopefully you'll get the capability to add 16GB more... This could happen in 2 ways: You have 2 8GB parts now and replace wit 2 16GB -or- you have...

Yeah, I saw the news about the new chips yesterday and a brief mention of the boards. I'll stick with my 6GB 1060 for now, as I have other upgrades to watch for, being a Ryzen user. I have a R51600 (6-core 3.2GHHz base) now so I'm watching the results of the new products. Right now I can...

Exactly… I've seen reputable advice on YouTube (Jayz2cents, Pauls Hardware, Bitwit, Gamers Nexus, etc) all recommend waiting. If the new Nvidia chipsets are announced this month as Nvidia is implying, and possibly new cards, a lot of the market competition for 10 series cards will drop hard as...

I'd hold off on a 10x0 GPU until September, to see if nVidia really has a new board coming in the next couple of weeks. If they do then existing boards will probably go on sale as demand peaks for the "New Hotness"

Are you tied to using Intel? Just asking because I've used AMD since the 90s and know more about current Ryzen stuff. Check out "Paul's hardware" on YouTube... Every month he specs out 2 systems in the first part of the month and builds one of them at the end of the month. He's done at least...

I'd hold off on a new system, especially if you insist on Intel... Check to see if there's a faster CPU for your socket, as the next CPU release is going to change the motherboard (again). Or, check Newegg for one of their CPU/Motherboard combo deals and replace those. You say the rest of the...

They gave you a bottle of "Spic-n-Spam"? :D

Someone forgot to flush the toilet. :D

IIRC 1.7.10 was the last version of MC that was supported using 32-bit Java. Everything beyond that requires 64-bit, if for no other reason that 32-bit can't support the memory required for OS + Java + MC + mudpack + heap requirement (allocation). 32-bit anything (OS, Java) has a maximum...

Addendum to my 2017 post above (anyone else smell anything odd? :D ) : I made 4 changes to the Ryzen 5 system I listed above this past year... 1) I got a Fractal designs R6 case. No real improvement other than noise and better air flow. 2) I got two new (Ryzen) Laptops in April, along with...

Unless you build the actual Tinkers' Tank your mod version is new enough. TiCo has two multi-block constructions besides the Smelter that nobody seems to know about... An Oven and a Tank. Each is made of the same blocks the Smelter uses but use different controller blocks. The Oven cooks a...

You can still run Java MC under windows 10, if you own or buy a Mojang license, complete with all the mudpack goodness. Both the Java version and the "Bedrock" version, which is written in C++ and includes Win10 and all of what used to be MCPE (all smartphone/tablet and console versions) are...

If you own the server hardware and software you could always limit the hours that MC is even available... I don't know what you can do with a rented server as I've never had one. I've never set up a Minecraft server (hundreds of others, used to be my career) so I don't know what server...

I don't think FtB does PvP, do they?

How much ram are you allocating? If you are running a 1.12.2 modpack you don't need more than 6-8GB for modded Minecraft plus what you need for any resource packs (shaders). If you are running 1.7.10 to 1.11.x 4-6GB is plenty. Allocating too much ram causes the memory management built into...

^This. Also, Direwolf20 almost always runs a companion YouTube series where he plays through the pack as well as making every 10th episode downloadable... You can get everything he's done to that point to play and experiment with. He also tries to keep every mod as close to the way it was...

I'd just move from Australia :D

Also as I heard the story (I.E. not verified) Notch wrote Minecraft to teach himself (as a beginner) how to program in Java because Java was the only free language at the time. If this is true then there would be a vast plethora of algorithms and techniques he wasn't aware of which means the...

Come to think of it the stream I watch at night ran into that and asked DW about the issue when he was on FC2 recording one might. He mentioned the fix was in the works but I didn't pay much attention because as mentioned in my prior post those mods are still above my "play" grade :D
