they've had them for much longer, the new ones are just thunderbolt

the only ones that have ever truly worked the the infiniband links for rack mount setups

[Deleted]

could that work as an external GPU option or would TB lack bandwidth?
would make high end laptop shopping way easier and turns it into a monster performance machine when needed? (only needs a good CPU/screen/ssd then)

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Thunderbolt can do up to 10Gb/s IIRC. Enough for a graphics card.

ultrabook during school and a monster gaming rig at home? now that would be a worthwhile investment for many gamers likely.
also QQ deal i spotted on a gtx 690 changed status to reserved -_- (if i'd be any good ofc)

[Cyanotical]

well if you want to game, you would have to use a PCIe expansion with infiniband, there really is no way around it, but none of that plugs into a laptop

infiniband is up to 300Gb/s with extreme low latency, it's used for connecting modules in a supercomputer

but you can find it in PCIe expansion boxes

[Deleted]

what kind of connector would said future laptop require then?
because at this point im thinking that sony external gpu idea on steroids

[Cyanotical]

well, if you wanted to run say a 690, you would need 16Gb/s, TB is only 10 and has overhead

it's possible to create a laptop PCIe slot expander, but that wouldn't be usable on most laptops

It's like the Korean sellers have a portal gun or something.

Didn't expect it to arrive this fast, it's already in Greenland. Going to pick it up at the post office tomorrow.

...And my new CPU + GPU which I ordered a month ago from Proshop.dk still haven't arrived. ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)

Circle it with bright red circles and glowing pink arrows next time, just in case my brain is in "hurrrr" mode like it is now -_-

My instinct is always to follow the mouse.
Seems like good value. I take it you bought five?

[Cyanotical]

Okay, so I'm rather perplexed, and I think I've asked this before, but...

Can y'all think of a reason my C drive (SSD, if it matters) is seemingly randomly filling up? I've lost about 5 gigs that I can't account for (it generally goes bit by bit, probably a couple hundred MB at a time, when I notice it). I use CCleaner regularly, I delete the cache (and, well, basically all options in CCleaner) in Firefox, I delete the items in my downloads folder... I just can't think of where the data is going. Any ideas, guys?

[Cyanotical]

probably to restore points

Assuming you have your SSD optimized (hibernate/pagefile/etc disabled), add up the folder sizes in your Program Files and see which one is bloating...sort by date modified. Can't think of anything else : /

System restore images take up space on a storage drive, but tend to be hidden from view. Until I realized what it was, I had about 500GB usable of my 1500GB external, even if I deleted everything.
