Probably not the usual kind of "hardware", but a dumpster is a dumpster. http://imgur.com/sACxaVLm.jpg http://imgur.com/zAbXLwQm.jpg Is there anybody that know this ~2 decades old speakers manufacturer ? Bump. If it can help, the power connector is a C13/C14 "pass-through" that goes between the …

"Official", or even tested? Because if I learnt something here, is that datasheets are just "minimum advertised features", not "all that is actually there". And I could see how some overzealous vendor, on a 2 slot motherboard and thinking the biggest single sticks could ever be is 2GB, might have …

Yes, K8 started the on-die memory controller tradition But they never had any limitation to speak of, at least since switching to DDR2 with "Rev F" cpus (and especially sensible considering the IMC seems to be shared with the server socket, which could possibly also explain the "extended …

and there's been a lot of hate-mongering in the last couple years over people necroing old threads looking for an answer. So, what's up with this? Would a set of 4x4gb of this "AMD only" RAM work in my setup? Would it work with any DDR2 motherboard? I, for one, am in the opposite situation. I have …

CompressATI2, after checking with Hxd, had some function pointing to Compressonator. Another of its files moreover, mentions "ATI2" as a moniker for DXT_BC5/LATC/RGTC/3Dc textures. The last of these names, being indeed announced to have been added in patch 1.3 . So.. It seems relevant. My vote goes …

TrueAudio Next currently does not perform ray tracing for sound. That doesn't exactly mean what you are thinking (and it's some kind of cherry-picking) Steam® Audio models indirect sound by calculating an IR using ray tracing. This IR is then used in a convolution reverb effect to add indirect …

And the next update to DX12 will also add an extra raytracing feature. So perhaps we can finally get more advanced volumetric lighting... and the same technology may also be applicable to audio processing. But you'll need a GPU to do it. That's what AMD (and nvidia maybe? no info or docs on that) …

The right TL;DR should be: those revamped drivers are a blessing for "sensitive" (be it stability or latency) tasks, also audio creation and playback - but they lack standard "gaming" features. XP being quite incidental to the issue, if not any probably the age of the "accompanying" pc. The same …

Emulating EAX above 2 is all heavy reverse engineering, since SDKs for those have always been private and there's no open spec.
