Mac Pro 2019

Introduction For the last almost seven years, I’ve been doing my amateur-hour level video editing and publishing on my PC.  That wasn’t always the case though; prior to 2013 I was editing on a Mac Pro 5,1 model, that I’d heavily modified.  Unfortunately with the launch of the Mac Pro 6,1, also known as the “trash can”, Apple pushed…

Current PC Audio Setup

Table Of Content

Introduction I’ve spent a lot of years building up the audio setup on my gaming/editing PC.  The parts are listed in the “Audio” section of this page.  I figured I’d write up a long post describing what’s connected to what, why I did it the way I did, and the reason for purchasing the things I have.  Bear in…

Battlefield V and NVidia SLI: Making It Work

Table Of Content

Introduction The release of Battlefield V hasn’t gone without quite a number of hitches.  From various annoying bugs, to Dice’s incessant fiddling with weapon balance and damage models.  And we’re only about a month in to it as of this writing.  However, one important thing for those of us using NVidia’s SLI technology is: there’s no support for it. …

Game Streaming: Full Circle

This is just a quick entry to wrap up my adventure with online streaming.  It started like anything does: with nothing but an idea.  I wanted to see if I could understand and figure out the technology behind streaming.  I started on YouTube because they allow a near infinite upload bandwidth (turns out: it’s 51Mbit/sec) which made it possible for…

More Data on the NVidia 4K Challenge

This won’t be a large post at all; rather a quick follow up to a my first post on this topic.  To summarize: If I have 1 4K/144Hz and 2 4K/60Hz displays connected to my NVidia Titan X Pascal card, each display works at its maximum refresh rate.  If I connect a fourth display to the card, the 144Hz panel…

Ubisoft’s Counter-Measures for Rainbow Six: Siege Cheating and Boosting

Introduction I play a lot of Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six: Siege online.  I queue up with buddies sometimes, and other times I solo-queue.  Sometimes I play Ranked, and other times I play Casual.  Recently, there’s been a bad outbreak of cheating in Siege, and it’s hitting both Ranked and Casual.  A lot of Siege Twitch streamers and YouTubers have openly and…

NVidia 4K Display Limits: Card Bandwidth?

Good luck struck me recently and I was able to get my hands on the brand new Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ display.  This 27″ LCD can do 4K at 144Hz and features NVidia’s GSync technology.  It’s not an inexpensive display at $2000.  Nor is it readily available yet.  I was fortunate enough that my local Microcenter had six of them…

Twitch Streaming Setup

Introduction Over the last couple of years, I’ve written a few articles here about my adventures streaming to Twitch (and YouTube before that).  Recently, I’ve made some significant changes to my hardware and software setup to handle the streaming and recording.  Since I haven’t been writing and publishing a whole lot on this site in ages, I figured it…
