• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Yeah, but how's the framerates?

But the real questions are: Will it run Flight Simulator and what are the framerates like?

Interesting question. :icon_lol:

I've got a few of my own:

1) Do they leave it running 24/7 or shut it off when they go to bed?

2) It looks like it takes up an entire room (or more) of quite a large building so how big is the battery back-up to keep it running if the power goes out (like it does here on a regular basis)?

3) Just how many Watts (or even Megawatts) does it consume during an hour of run-time? I know I wouldn't like to pick up the electricity bill for it! :isadizzy:

Hmmm. :icon_lol:
 
Answer for 2) it's in Oak Ridge - it probably has its own reactor...:icon_lol:

And - how exciting - they will use it to run complex climate change models. :running: :pop4:
