    Looking for Leaks

    Posted · Edited by FaalKorum

    Ran Apollodorus for about 35 minutes, but I couldn't get it recreated:

    System: 2x 980TI running WF at 3440x1440

    OS: Win10 x64

    Nvidia driver version: 372.90

    Frame Time Before & After: ~8.6ms

    Programs Running:

    • Steam
    • Corsair Link (CPU cooler app)
    • Plantronics Gamescom 780 (Headset software)
    • Avast AV
    • Display Fusion

    I'll run it again with the latest drivers here in a bit.

    Did a clean uninstall of the previous drivers, and have 376.19 installed fresh.

    Test 2:

    No changes with driver version. Still getting ~8.5ms after 30 minutes.

    Okay, in an effort to at least curb the kneejerk a bit, here's how I understand it:

     

    Recently, DE switched to DE Ltd., meaning (very roughly) that they had opened up a portion of their stocks for public purchase. The "portion" part is an important distinction from "all". How the percentages lie is unknown, and probably will never be, but it could be reasonably assumed that they wouldn't give up a controlling portion of a semi-private company.

     

    For whatever reason, Chinese company PWE (Perfect World Entertainment) coupled with the larger Sumpto Foods (the logic of which, outside of just straight capital for purchase, baffles me) to issue a "Letter of Intent" to DE to buy into the public portion of their stock. A Letter of Intent is a non-binding contract where a company (or -ies) STUDY whether or not stocks in another company would be worth the purchase. This study period lasts for 40 days and the only binding clause in the letter is that DE can't go shopping their stock around until Aug. 9. At this point THERE HAS BEEN NO EXCHANGE whatsoever, it's simply PWE and its parter discussing whether or not DE stock would make a good return on their initial purchase.

     

    As to the reputation PWE has apparently garnered, I can't say. I've had no experience with them personally.

     

    I also feel the need to stress that I am not employed nor studied in any financial field, so some of my interpretations of how these things work could be wrong.
