SPLIT FROM ANOTHER POST AS WAS OFF TOPIC.


I've never liked the idea of two graphics cards, the power consumption and heat generation starts to clime considerably.

If we look at the maximum power consumption of a GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB as a good example.

We see it peak @ 428 Watts, add a second card and then it's 860 Watts, give or take, now add a nice CPU and motherboard and we could be looking at 1000Watts of power.

I thought we were all trying to cut down on power consumption, something to do with saving the planet and global warming.

Maybe I'm just soft in the head but to my mind it's completely insane.

Carl2 was asking about a build with M.2 support, so here is one, no I'm not being funny, this would make a great little PC

So build 1:

I thought this was an interesting story, this poor guy has no minds eye, he can't see things in his head. The condition is called Aphantasia and it affects around 50% of the population in varying amounts.

Science is getting there.

I should think all the locals know by now. A Hawker Hunter crashed into the A27 near the Sussex Pad right on top of a busy intersection. The plane was doing a loop at the Shoreham Air Show and it seems he misjudged his height or possibly an engine issue. 7 dead and 14 injured, 2 seriously including the pilot. So far...



It's seems more scary when it's an intersection I regularly drive through on the way to the supermarket.
