    Good thing I didn't order my 2 780ti's yet OHHH BOY, lol jk 2 ti's beat 2 titans Koopa

    titan != titan z

     

    that thing wrecks 780ti.

     

    you have to look at how the dynamic power balancing and the ram are working. its also 2880x2 ... so technically 1 titan z > 2 780ti... 

     

    can 780ti do 5k? either way.. no.

    Advertise admin more Driz. Pls, I shelled out 20 dollars per month for like the past year and a half

    I don't understand the relevance of your post, are you in the European time zone?<br /><br />Sent from my HTC Ville<br /><br />

    i see no racism in anything that was said. i dont know ze rules so i cant speak to the nades but things seemed kosher to me and i saw no screens of any players complaining or anyone's "fun being ruined"

     

    i do believe posting non-relative threads in the complaint dept is an infractable offense though

    It's 15:00pm gmt, still no admins on. People breaking the rules and squeakers thinking they own the place 'cos no ones enforcing rules, pls 

    you can become a paidmin and enforce all those rules you see other's breaking. we can surely use some european timezone admins!

    to update everyone; i have all the servers set up now, and have just rsynced all the data. we are awaiting the configuration of our database server to copy our current db over, 1 service for authentication, and minecraft. once those are ready to go, we will be ready to conduct our new host testing. We will be trying out a new steam hook fontaine discovered that SHOULD allow you to connect to the new servers without changing your favorites. If that fails, we will heavily advertise the new IP and hopefully plenty of you will jump on the new servers to stress test them a bit. If our "test" goes well, we will have the harddrives moved to our new box (it's custom ordered because of the CPU and second gig link) which will incur a slight outage. Once that is finished, this new host should be our home for the foreseeable future. 

     

    To add a little note, the last couple DDoS attacks we were hit by, would have been completely mitigated by the new hosts' DDoS protection. I'm not saying this will catch every attack, but it will prevent most of them :)

    typos from phone

    Assuming your CPU is also water cooled, where do you expect heat to come from? Ssd don't put much heat out, your north bridge will put a little but typically your PSU will such air from its bottom and blow it out the back and if that PSU is at the top you are already assisting convection. You should probably leave as is first then check for negative air pressure then remediate

    Anybody know what would disqualify you to be in the Air Force? Like I dont have 20/20 vision and I have titanium rods inserted into my spine.

    you need 20/20 correctable which is usually easy. the rods though.. i dont know what pft standards are in the airforce, but in the army you would still need to be able to carry a 35lbs (its never that light) for 12miles, run 2 miles in under 15 something pushups situps, etc. I dont know that it would instantly dq you, but you have to get a physical to join anyway, so you would find out pretty quick.

    Is this Christmas come early? ( Or whatever other holiday you celebrate. )

    i only celebrate black christmas.. i forgot what its called.

     

    thanks everyone, i hope the server meets our requirements and we can get everything moved over. The goal is provide you guys the best possible experience while mitigating as many issues as we can.

    upgraded cpu from 1270-v3 to 1280-v3

    Community,
    Lets start here, you guys probably saw the ping tests to OVH and heard some rumors. We'll settle that first. OVH failed to meet their obligation to us and we have cancelled service and requested our money back. Basically most things they advertised were false and they caused a multitude of other issues. We have made the decision to proceed with End of Reality gaming and are working with the company now. I have completed the negotiations and i think we did rather well on the deal.

    Here are the specs of the server and I will post the current server for comparison.
     

    CURRENT SERVER:CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1270-V2MEM: 16G DDR3 1333SSD: Samsung 840 128GHDD: 2x 500G 7200 RPMLGA 1155 Intel C202 Mobo1x 1Gbps uplink/28 subnet5TB Bandwidthno DDoS protection

     
     

    NEW SERVER:CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1280-V3MEM: 32G DDR 1600SSD" Samsung 740 512GHDD: 1x 1TB 7200 RPMLGA 1155 Intel C202 Mobo2x 1Gbps uplink2x /29 subnet10TB Bandwidth1Gbps DDoS protection

    You can clearly see the improvement in every category. Lets discuss CPU. our current CPU for single threaded applications (like css/csgo/gmod) ranks 2065. the new cpu ranks 2317 and is the best cpu for single threaded apps there is.
    Of note is that the cpu we are getting is NOT a "stocked" cpu, they are special ordering it for us. They, so far, have seemed very willing to special order anything we want if we are accepting of the lead time and contractual obligation to do so.

    The Second NIC link is actually 50/mo but i negotiated to get this free. We also got a pretty big discount after quite a few emails. Their responsiveness has been amazing thus far.

    Something we have all feared is moving to new hardware and IPs changing. Well, that doesnt technically change here. If you purchase a box, there is a /29 assigned to it for tracking purposes. If you move to a new box it's a new /29. However, if we purchase a second /29 it CAN move with us.
    So if we break this down, lets say the first /29 is used for things that rely on dns, like bgpanel, the website, teamspeak, minecraft and a couple other things internal to staff, then the IP change wont matter, we just update dns. for the css/csgo servers where we use ip, the floater /29 would be used and can follow us to new hardware if we upgrade.

    All sounds amazing right? well there is a downside.

    the 1Gbps DDoS protection is 1Gbps MORE than we currently have, but will not be enough for the attacks we have seen against ZE/JB. That being the case, after we exceed the 1Gbps point, we will still be null routed. The good note is where limestone nulls us for up to 24 hours (i dont think it's been higher than this???) the MAX we can be nulled with the new host is 8 hours. The DDoS protection will cover approximately almost all of the small attacks we receive. There is no host we can afford that can take the DDoS attacks ZE/JB have experienced.

    As you all know the large DDoS attacks are the primary reason we are leaving limestone. They basically told us we weren't going to be renewed because of the attacks. I have in writing from the new host that being attacked does NOT violate TOS and we will NOT be cancelled for it ever. They will null us when needed but that is all.

    So, bottom line, EVERYTHING is better, there is not one single aspect of this new host that is a loss for us. The fundraiser was for a new cpu and we got it and much more. have we fixed the DDoS attacks? no. We can only address our security concerns internally and filter where possible, but if someone hits us for 10Gbps again, we will be nulled for 8 hours.

    Their network is setup so that your closest ingress point to their network will be how you come in, then you ride their internal MPLS to reach our server. This SHOULD mean lower latency and less hops for any user farther away from the datacenter. Here are the pint test IP addresses.

    Atlanta, GA - Test IP: atl.eoreality.net
    Chicago, IL - Test IP: chi.eoreality.net
    Dallas, TX - Test IP: dal.eoreality.net
    Los Angeles, CA - Test IP: lax.eoreality.net
    New York, NY - Test IP: ny.eoreality.net
    Seattle, WA - Test IP: sea.eoreality.net
    London, UK - Test IP: lon.eoreality.net

    here are my results.

    I will close with this. We are impressed by this host and have a good feeling, but like any responsible person, we will be testing them for a period of time before we commit to them. This is to ensure that we are able to provide the community outstanding service and ensure that donation money is well spent. thank you for reading and being members of our community.

    Few days ago, I just recieved the VG248QE. I have to say it is a amazing monitor.

    The 144hz makes a huge difference. I can clearly tell the difference between my 60hz monitor and 144hz asus.

    The colors were washed out when I recieved it. It was bothering me a ton, but after a few tweaks and downloaded a ICC profile, the monitor looks as good as my old one. If you find a place that has it in stock, defintely get it you won't regret it.

    amazing monitors. my only problem is I want a 144 with displayport in and out so I can daisy chain.
