krazypoloc Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Finally bought a HD video camera, youtube seems to have ruined the quality though.... I love the state of the art $10k computer with the $2 keyboard and mouse from 1994....and a 13" monitor from 1998.

road-runner Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 I love the state of the art $10k computer with the $2 keyboard and mouse from 1994....and a 13" monitor from 1998. Thats a 18 or 19" monitor, hey it all still works why throw it away. I use the good monitors on my 24/7 main rig.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhiannon Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 ^ This man is a pro ^ Bosco, in reference to drivers and point differences, for a couple days, there were only 4 points seperating Road-Runner and myself. I'm not claiming that the drivers were the difference, I'm just illustrating that a 150 point difference might be a big deal for some folks. It is my opinion (Take it for what its worth) that if you make exceptions for certain drivers, you are going to be asked to make exceptions for others. The easiest way for you to manage the contest is to let Futuremark take the fall for the driver thing. Want to say though, that either way, I have been having a blast with this, and will be enthusiastic even if I don't win any drawings.

I know, now if I used that rig all the time I could see putting a decent monitor on it, but just to run benches 1280 resolution is all that is needed, it sits most of the time doing nothing...

I'm just a little surprised that with that amount of gear you wouldn't just have a KVM switch going to your main rig so you can relax in the comfort of a nicer environment....not to mention increasing multitasking abilities.

Heck I got 4 monitors on my i7 main rig now in comfort with satellite TV in the room also. The bench rig is in another room, then upstairs is another room full of i7s and KVMs for crunching...

Yes thats exactly my point.....for me I like to have access to everything in 1 central location.....so with the amount of hardware you have I would have a KVM over IP going from all the PC's you have folding as well as your benchmarking rig with the console going to your main workstation desk.That way you can kick back and let the good times roll. Just seems convenient to me..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you pour LN2 through this VOIP KVM thing, lol? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you pour LN2 through this VOIP KVM thing, lol? I guess you would need a Number 5 unit to pour LN2 into your test bed for you...... KVM over IP is just regular KVM over ethernet cables.....makes installing KVM's over long distances easeir and more cost effective.

I can see where that would come in handy, oh well everything is already networked with a 16 port switch up there and set up. VNC works fine for me now... I think I done derailed the thread... What about the drivers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
