not getting any activity from the card when i power up my machine. no leds, no fans, no output. tried it in another machine and had the same issue. bleck.
[17:34]
mercutiodid you check the power cable to it? [17:36]
m0undsyep, it's fine [17:37]
staticsafeRIP [17:37]

staticsafeah [17:39]
m0undsi've had it for a few years [17:39]
staticsafetime to upgrade? :D [17:39]
mercutiodamn [17:39]
m0undsi guess
wasn't planning on it, hahaha
[17:39]
mercutiothere's no good upgrades. [17:39]
m0undsprobably just gonna go nvidia [17:39]
mercutiowell not if you want to use linux and open source drivers.
gtx 960 you could go to
but it means binary drivers for linux.
[17:39]
m0undsnah, i'd go 970 or 980 [17:40]
mercutiosounds expensive :/ [17:40]
m0undsi don't use linux so that's not a problem for me [17:40]
mercutioi dunno, if oyu're not planning for it.. [17:40]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [17:40]
m0undsAMD's drivers are a shitshow [17:40]
mercutiooh right
yeh in linux amd btu nvidia for windows i reckon
gtx 970 is probably a good idea for windows.
[17:40]
m0undsby that i just meant i wasn't throwing cash aside to upgrade my gpu, haha [17:40]
mercutioi have a r9 290 it's not too bad
does 96hz at 1440p fine.
[17:40]
m0undsthat's good [17:41]
mercutiowith everything on high
yeh the only thing i got to go a bit slow so far is tomb raider.
on the extreme settings thingy.
i was blown away by tomb raider tbh
it's a bit old now, but i hadn't tried anything "rich"
i got bored of it pretty quick though. i think it's like $10 on steam or something so i don't care that much :)
[17:41]
m0undsyea, i liked it [17:43]
mercutiodamn it's hard to find 4k videos on youtube [17:43]
m0undsthere was some new edition of it released for ps4 and xbox one, so i got a copy of it pretty cheap around xmas [17:43]

mercutiothat's 1080p@60hz [17:44]
m0undstressfx does pretty well w/hair [17:45]
mercutioi mostly play dota and openttd

mercutiodamni t feels colder than that. [22:53]
mnathani_you feeling better mercutio?:
or was that a while back
[22:54]
mercutiomm? [22:54]
mnathani_you said you were sick [22:54]
mercutiothat was aegs ago wasn't it [22:54]
mnathani_may have been some time back
I guess
[22:54]
mercutioi got up too early today :/
adn went to bed too late :/
[22:55]
mnathani_is your day job remote? [22:55]
mercutioyeh [22:55]
mnathani_or do you go in [22:55]
mercutioi've been remote for ages.
it has it's pro's and con's
thing i most miss is daily lunch walks
nowhere good to eat in walking distance from here :(
[22:55]
mnathani_do you work tickets? [22:56]
mercutionope [22:56]
mnathani_manage a team? [22:57]
mercutionope
mostly just fix stuff / do stuff
respond to questions :)
[22:57]
mnathani_communicate via phone or email? [22:57]
mercutiophone and im
mostly.
[22:57]
mnathani_jabber?
or lync?
[22:58]
mercutioyeh and skype
skype is good for talking while doing stuff.
[22:58]
mnathani_yea, I really like skype
prefer it to using my cellphone
[22:58]
mercutioit varies for me. [22:58]
mnathani_I have one of those unlimited* us canada subscriptions [22:58]
mercutioi like skype for tlaking while doing stuff
but if i'm just talking to someone phone seems better, cos i can take it outside easily :)
[22:59]
mnathani_with a headset [22:59]
mercutioi feel claustrophobic talking on phones inside
always have.
it's kind of weird.
actuually i muuch prefer talking outside to real life people too normally.
especially if it's a standing kind of conversation.
i suppose everyone has their own style.
[22:59]
mnathani_is working remote a perk, or necessity (not enough office space for everyone) [23:00]
mercutioit's because i moved cities. [23:01]
mnathani_ahh [23:01]
mercutioi used to have an office
adn i had an office wehn i first moved here.
in one of those shared office thingys.
[23:01]
mnathani_are you guys customers of level3? [23:01]
mercutionope. [23:01]
mnathani_any other tier1? [23:01]
mercutionope
but like 3rd tier bandwidth :)
buy
even arp is buying level3 through someone else.
[23:01]
mnathani_cogent? [23:02]
mercutiowell it's a bit dfiferent here
because most of the bandwidth is international..
[23:02]
mnathani_I didnt realize that. I thought arp bought level3 directly [23:02]
mercutioso you tend to buy mixes rather than providers.
check out the dns on it
it's via giglinx.
it's pretty much the same diff
[23:02]
mnathani_is ARP too small to buy from level3 direct? [23:03]
mercutioproviders like level3 suck to deal with at smaller commit levels.
well they'd pay more.
it's like using an insurance broker.
you get the same service, but through someone else, and you save money.
[23:03]
mnathani_is that kind of like a reseller? [23:04]
mercutioit's also generally easier to deal with afaik. [23:04]
mnathani_or wholesaler / distributer [23:04]
mercutioyeh i suppose
places like level3 vary their prices heaps
so if you had more time than money you could probably haggle a good deal with them.
or were buying larger commits.
bandwidth is like that in general really.
[23:04]
mnathani_is hurricane electric big where you are? [23:05]
mercutiopeople in the same city may pay twice as much as anohter customer for the same commit level.
nope.
they're not even here.
only verizon are here of international tier1s.
afaik
and they don't seem common.
[23:05]
mnathani_I would have expected Sprint / ATT [23:06]
mercutiooh att maybe here i think. [23:06]
mnathani_Telia Sonera maybe [23:06]
mercutiobut in a limited capacity
sprint got bought out by someone
ntt is in australia.
but not here.
so yeah what usually happens is people buy bandwidth from multiple providers adn then resell it.
becauuse like you need capacity to auustralia for asia... and the US for ... everything else.
then one weird thing about here, is that there's domestic capacity too
so you buy domestic capacity to the two biggest isp's
from either one of them.
so it's like at&t and verizon or something
where you can buy transit to either of them and they peer freely between them.
but otherwise youu're screwed.
because they won't freely peer.
[23:06]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [23:08]
mercutiothen most of the smaller to medium sized providers all peer freely.
there's probably as many nz providers peering in nz as there are US providers on any2ix.
heh i'm rambling now :)
i don't actually know how much level3 costs.
but afaik providers like cogent are much cheaper for gigabit burstable on 10 gigabit.
