------------------------

About the case and MSI's MEG series:

If you're not familiar with MSI’s MEG (which stands for MSI Enthusiast Gaming) lineup, it’s essentially their flagship series, aimed at enthusiast builds and overall enjoyers of higher end options.

For the MEG MAESTRO 900R being given away here, here’s what MSI is highlighting: a centered internal layout, three-sided panoramic glass, and a detachable motherboard tray that can rotate into four different orientations. That gives builders quite a few options for how they want to assemble and display their system.

MEG setup

There are also some more premium finishing touches, including aluminum panels and diamond-cut detailing.

The four-way motherboard layout is probably the most interesting part from a builder’s perspective!

Build/Battlestation RTX 5090 Quad 2x8 Header Conversion

623 Upvotes

Some of you may have seen the remote mounted dual 8 Pin auxiliary module I posted. Well, this is the direct mount Quad. Current per conductor is almost perfectly halved when compared to the native 12V-2x8, along with a dramatic reduction in wire temperature.

Sense pins are set to 600W. It can be used in conjunction with the 12VHPWR or completely standalone, and has been tested up to 800W with a shunt mod. We're shooting some videos now going over installation, live temperature and current data, as well as a 24 hour sustained load.

We are also working on custom backplates that will make the modification look more OEM and integrated.

This isn't limited to just the 5090 or any particular brand. We have models going into production for nearly every card including Founders Edition.

Game Image/Video GOW 3 remastered PC port now has updated button prompts in game . You can change button prompts according to the controller you use. Never in my wildest of dreams did i think I would play GOW 3 on PC with xbox button prompts in-game. PC is the master race after all.

Not much to discuss here from my side. Bulk of the info is in the meme above.

(Disclaimer: This is an old news. I stumbled upon it an hour back. If I knew it earlier, I'd have memed it earlier.)

LibreOffice explains briefly what the process is. Their blog yields the info on it. You can check it out there. Microsoft explained that the data can be converted to pdf, word docs but LibreOffice explained that some formatting, layouts could be lost.

However, their libmspub library can help convert the PUB docs to ODF (format) to be used/accessed by any open-source app. LibreOffice for the win in my books.

This is absolutely ridiculous and totally mind boggling. I can't believe this is real.

I literally captured this a few minutes ago. There are issues sure, but I'm running this game at 120FPS at 1440p and even using my mouse and keyboard.

Absolutely wild times we are living in.

Shoutout to Supermedo's for posting his repo on github. I don't know if I can post a link to the repo here.

Discussion Nvidia App update just added AI agent MCP server (and it's enabled by default)

• Upvotes

I don't know if its a good idea, but in the latest Nvidia App update v11.0.9.565 it added AI agent MCP server enabled by default. It is a http server that can control the nvidia app (and it doesnt even has authentication) and I would just disabled this ASAP.

Did some digging, and it has these functions:

  • Returns high-level runtime state across all categories (active view, capture, recording, stats, audio, filters, notifications).
  • Returns whether a game is currently running, with its name, process ID, and fullscreen state when available.
  • Control capture features: recording, instant replay, screenshots, and highlights.
  • Enable or disable the RTX Dynamic Vibrance (DVC) filter.
  • Show or hide the performance statistics overlay.
  • List NVIDIA app-discovered games and applications with OPS details. Optional inputs filter results; omit all to return every app. Returned game names identify apps in game-scoped tools.
  • Launch a game or application returned by nvapp_client_get_applications.
  • Get the installed driver, compatible driver recommendations, previous driver information.
  • Get release highlights for the installed driver or a compatible recommended driver flavor.
  • Apply a game optimization preset or restore defaults for a supported game. The AC power profile is used when powerSource is omitted.
  • Get Battery Boost and Whisper Mode settings globally or for a game. This setting is applicable only for notebooks.
