    CPU Is the amd wx9100 a full vega 64?

    As far as i know there is no technical reason it would not work and almost all games do indeed work(only know this for certain about the quadros that i’ve used) , but some games have a bit that checks for quadro/FirePro etc. And Will just refuse to work because of this but there are work arounds

    GPU entry level quadro. is it worth it?

    solidworks will run even big assemblys on a 1050(ti) as long as you are not building a nucleair reactor :) (not more than a certain amount of parts like al the fins of a heatsink, these will be displayed as a rectangle to prevent stuttering during fast movements on screen) and especially for...

    xbox one s internal psu as egpu psu?

    so i noticed something about the internal psu of the xbox one s, it has a standard 6-pin pcie connector. Has anyone tried using it for egpu mods? it's only 30€ and if it works it would be plug and play extra psu power.
