There's a lot of shitposting and shilling on this board, but can we all just be serious for a moment and thank Nvidia for what they do? We all love technology here, and Nvidia are delivering GPUs that offer incredible performance, both in terms of raw numbers and in terms of perf per watt.
The new Pascal cards are quite frankly incredible. A GTX 1080 delivers 30%+ more performance than a GTX 980 Ti whilst consuming 100W less power, and 50%+ more performance than the competing brand's best card whilst consuming 150W less. That's amazing, and they don't get enough credit for it.
Not to mention that they offer the best value for money too in the lower ranges, with a GTX 1060 offering more performance than a GTX 980 - previously the world's most powerful graphics card - for just $250. And only consuming ~100W in the process. It's an incredible achievement.
It's time to put aside silly biases and acknowledge everything that Nvidia do for us.

THANK YOU BASED NVIDIA
It's only freetards and literal paid poo in loos that shill AMD. Even they probably use Nvidia secretly.

nvidia is breddy gud, but amd certainly does async compute much better. nvidia cards shit their pants with async compute. I'm really curious to see how good (or not) vega is and whether nvidia can get hardware level async compute into the 1100 series or at the latest the 1200 series. there is no way dx12 won't be everywhere by the time the 1200 series is around

Pretty much anything. Testing pens isn't exactly difficult.

>>57106834
hardware is irrelivant, everything is done from a vm. bonus points for physical Ethernet port. last company i was at was a macbook pro shop. now i use a thinkpad p460.
software depends on what the job is. most on site network stuff has nessus scanning in the background, run responder to mitm netbios shit. port scan on 80 to find internal web apps, and then start looking at those manually with burp running in the bg for reporting.
for forensics, its mostly TSK / volatility wrapped in scripts i wrote.
appsec gets .net reflector ,ida / x64dbg, or whatever the jad

Should I go for 1070 or is there a better alternative in AMD?
$400 is the max price

Wait for HBM2
Everything else is flubber without it

>>57106424
I keep hearing this but with HBM pricing won't it mostly be 4gb HBM for around 300$ cards/
>>
>>57106357
There currently is no AMD card capable of doing what the GTX 1070 does. Your best alternative would be the RX 480 8GB.

would this be a decent upgrade from an AMD FX8320? or would i be stepping back?

Its a massive upgrade, basically double the single core performance.
>>
>>57106420
alright so i should get this a decent board and some DDR4 ram then? and this wouldnt bottleneck a gtx 1080 like my current one would?
>>
>>57106441
Would depend on the game, but very few games would be bottlenecked by a 6700k.
Especially if you OC to 4.4-4.5GHz+

When will technology be obsolete. When in time will there be nothing left for us to do with these things we call computers?

Eventually books will be all but replaced by technology, and then suddenly, one day the network will go down, the computers will stop working, and all the knowledge will be lost forever.
Unless you wrote it down somewhere.
Enter, the pointless stage. Everything computational is pointless jibber jabbering.

No, the impending technology crash is just a pill for poorfags to swallow so they feel better about their shitty jobs.
>don't worry, all those richfags in Silicon Valley will surely be poor soon lol
>>
>>57105596
Desktops and laptops are being destroyed by smartphones. But it's more of a transition rather than a crash.
Web giants like fagbook, twatter, yahoo and jewgle might come tumbling down because no one actually likes using their shit anymore.

100% the startup boom is going down and a lot of business majors are going to get freaking pwned
Will we look back and remember Microsoft as a great company before it was destroyed by pajeets?
Bill Gates was arguably a very talented programmer. But after he let go, more and more greasy Indians moved in and all of the sudden we have an operating system that displays advertisements even if you pay for it and any updates bear the risk of breaking the OS.
Why did they let this happen?

Are there any projects out there designed to write data to with a cassette player via audio out, and listen for data coming in from a tape via mic in?
Basically a modern version of pic related. No purpose other than it'd be fun.

I don't know about cassette tape, but there is for minidv. You need to have firewire and a minidv camcorder.
>>
>>57105515
There are, but if you write one yourself I'd totally check out your source code. I have a high quality cassette player from the eighties and all these 100kb files I'd like to backup.
You could look at how dialup encodes digital data, or design your own method with wavelets or combined tones.

I'm really not sure where this started, but why is it that every "modern" user interface is overly animated and designed? Surely the purpose of a good UI is to be as fast as possible?
But the animations and general glitz of Windows 10, OSX, KDE, and GNOME end up being as slow as the Amiga Workbench, which had a second of rendering time upon every drawer's opening which has the same length as the animations of modern desktops.
So who is to blame for this, and when did it occur? It was after XP because I don't remember the appearance of XP being much of a talking point compared to everything else.

you can turn animations off in windows
>>
>>57105390
So you can go against its intended design? Notice how you turn them OFF rather than instead have the option to turn them ON.
And the time and effort went in to coding that in the first place, so it still doesn't run counter to what I said.

Nothing wrong with that.
