There are 11 Covfefe's in the people search. Seven are using display names now.

If someone was fumbling around in SL last weekend using a ten year old HP workstation with an ATI HD5870, I don't know anything about it.

It seemed a lot worse early on, and not just with SL, everything. Although I can't say the working form home random VPN disconnects were always entirely unwelcome.

10th gen i7 + GeForce 210 FTW!

Mac users get them as soon as they're released. Hands up Mac users wondering why your AMD GPUs are rendering everything in SL blue for the holidays.

Apple graphics drivers and updates come from Apple through software update, not the graphics manufacturers' websites.

Poking around a little more, update your graphics drivers and install the OpenGL/OpenCL compatibility pack. https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/12/10/introducing-x64-emulation-in-preview-for-windows-10-on-arm-pcs-to-the-windows-insider-program/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/announcing-the-opencl-and-opengl-compatibility-pack-for-windows-10-on-arm/

Looks like Windows 10 for ARM only supports OpenGL 1.1, and that's going to be the limiting factor that stops SL from running on it.

Stop being so mean to people in the forums and get along with making the fascinating video “Second Life vs Its Own Minimum Requirements”.

Don't worry, it won't, and the people who need it will get nothing along with the people who don't need it.

That's an interesting list of countries. I see something else the two groups have in common. Can anyone else spot it?

You could drop it into Tineye and head down the rabbit hole of debunks of the junk science it's built on. It's pure garbage.

Science! As seen on the peer reviewed journal the blogosphere.

Oh, definitely. I think almost every 600 series or later GTX card will outperform the GT 1030. The 1030's virtue is that it's available new and fits the OP's budget. If used is an acceptable option, then that's the way to go and the 1030 should be off the table.

I keep seeing this figure, and would like to know where it's coming from. To date there have been 19,161,619 diagnosed cases in the United States and 333,394 fatalities. I'm not good at math, but I can punch two numbers into a calculator and find the divide button. That doesn't look like 99.92% to me. There's also the fact that covid-19 infection isn't a binary of just fine with no symptoms or dead. Is it more or less than one? Maybe their criteria for who should get it first wasn't based on survival rates. Have you considered for a moment the possibility that the epidemiologists at the CDC know more about epidemiology than you do?

What I gather from the computer is it's a Dell Precision T5600 workstation with an Nvidia Quadro 4000 (10 year old Fermi card). Now isn't a great time to be buying a graphics card on a budget. Prices are insane. For $100 new there's the Nvidia GT1030* and that's about it. You'll really want an Nvidia GTX card, and I don't think $100 is going to touch one new. The 1030 is better than what you have, but is probably going to leave you wanting more. In the used range of things I think you could reasonably expect to find for $100, your best bet is probably a GTX 1050ti or 1050 (ti is better). Look out for fake cards. Crooks are reflashing old GTS 450 cards and selling them as modern GTX cards. Do not buy any Nvidia card with a VGA connector on it. No legitimate Nvidia card you would want to run SL on has one. You might be able to find a used GTX 970 or 980 in your budget. They're getting old but are still very capable and are probably a good match for your CPUs. (* ETA: the GGR5 version of the GT1030, not the DDR4 version, I keep forgetting there are two).
