I'm still stuck on a GTX980 for my bench PC (which I occasionally use for gaming) because my 4-port KVM is HD15 analog. Most of the machines I still deal with (office PC's 2014-2019) still use VGA and while many have DisplayPort, I can't depend on that and don't want to deal with a million adapters and cables. HD15 is always on industrial\corporate PC's for this reason. For us 'IT guys.'
And while you can convert DP to VGA with an active cable, it is a DAC and I have yet to find one that is perfect. Surprisingly, the HP branded DP>VGA adapters seem to work best, with Apple's mini-DP (Thunderbolt) >VGA adapter a close runner up. All the brand name adapters from Cables2Go to Starlink to TrippLite to etc etc etc all have glitching, random drops\disconnects, refresh problems, or poor picture. It's really amazing how the spectrum of quality is.
G as in communications type not speed as standard CPU "clocks" at.
CPU (though you took out of context by using the G in relation to speed not "generation") can easily run multiple Ghz without melting, provided you have clock stop cycles, this allows the chip to "cool down" .. without them halt cycles chips of all sorts would be melting / exploding everywhere, thankfully them Engineer folks who make these things put safety protections into place so it is very unlikely to happen these days
nothing preventing a power virus or what have you from wrecking the chip though, seeing as safe to dead takes all of a few millisecond to release the magic smoke (^.^)
If you're going to be a Russian troll at least try harder to get the language right or post prebuilt, coherent statements that are inflammatory. With low sophistication efforts like this one, I'm surprised you people would even waste the time.
I've seen several of his posts now and I still read them for one reason. They are so bad they are funny. Its like that scene in Anchorman 2 when the RV is crashing in slow motion.
I suppose I'll have to keep an eye out for this person's low sophistication trolling attempts in the future so I can get a few laughs as well. This one was the first I've noticed thus far so I regret missing out on the previous fun.

The VGA port is still alive! Its funny how VGA just never seems to die.Threska - Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - link
High-reliability with a low pin count.0ldman79 - Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - link
Still run VGA myself, see no need to change.Better picture quality over several TVs now, more options to correct size, offset and overscan.
There is the resolution limit but until that is the issue at hand VGA even has a crisper picture.

Crisper picture than what? VGA is analog.shabby - Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - link

Wow, we’ve gotten to the point where a CPU can run at 5GHz in a fanless chassis without melting? /sAlternatively: I thought 5G WiFi was already a thing, so why would putting it in a fanless chassis be something notable? /s
Way too many “5G” terms nowadays.
0ldman79 - Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - link
Indeed.There were three possibilities right off hand.
I'm sure there's something else I'm overlooking.

...and meanwhile Wifi will fulfil the same function with less power not to mention royalties.Danvelopment - Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - link
Isn't that what 802.11AC is for?And presumably latency would be lower because you're not talking through your ISP.

Why are Ferengies so allergic to Russkies ?They do have $$ and like to trade, so why the hostility ?
