    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    For reference I'm building this system this week. Roughly $2300-2400 all told for a 9800x3d/9070XT build. I still prefer building myself. Also no rgb puke https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LBpZPJ

    Thanks! Probably doesn't make sense in this case. And while a random $5k bill would be an absolute pain in the dick, we are in the position we could realistically cover it. That said, if we start getting bills at that level the bigger questions start to really come to the forefront. What am I...

    That may be part of it. I think I went hard and beat it in 2-3 days

    No but this made me consider it. In the 13 years we've had her, she's only ever had a couple issues. This was the most expensive though. Before this it was $200 here or there for ear infections and... Anal gland squeezing...

    Interesting, did not know that. Thanks for the heads up. I typically run 1 nvme and 1 GPU,.so not super worried. The MSI board is probably using a pcie switch so I'm glad you mentioned that. Deal enough with those pieces of shit at work I'll avoid it.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    Doom 2016 was so goddamn good. I did get tired of hallway -> arena -> hallway -> arena, but sometimes it just works. Eternal had WAY too much rainbow puke and I hated that direction,.though the intro cutscene on eternal was so good. This game looks pretty lifeless to me, but maybe I'll check...

    Necro bumping this just to vent, and breathe some relief. My dog is 13, but she's still very much a puppy. Doesn't often show her age, though she has slowed down at times. We took her for a fairly long walk (5 miles) which she does pretty regularly. We had the kids with us so there were many...

    Thanks I'll check out the mobo, to be honest I just went by feature set. I like this idea but goddamn I'm gonna have to pay the non-rgb tax because that.was my whole plan - minimal.rgb.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Snagged a 9070xt for $729 this morning gigabyte OC version, though I don't care about their stock OC. Figure it won't hit MSRP any time soon.

    Alright boys. We greenlit me building a new PC. My plan has been a 9800x3d and a 9070xt. Any compelling reason to do a 5070ti over it for gaming? Anything I should wait for from amd?

    The Last of Us

    I think that's it for me too. In the game you could at least sympathize with Ellie. In the show, Ellie is portrayed as extremely unlikable. And I'm not talking about looks although I do find the memes funny. She's just an absolute bitch murder hobo to everyone. My guess is so you can...

    I am really sorry to hear this. What really hit me like a ton of bricks was you talking about your kids still saying goodnight to her outside. Stay strong brother.

    Dental Problems

    As long as it's not Aspen dental I wouldn't worry about honesty. Might just be a mater of different opinion. I don't think dentists make crazy money on fillings. Hint: if they usher you into a finance office right away after the exam they aren't being honest.

    We did some less murder hobo stuff in act 2 so didn't hit 12 until early act 3, but yeah it's kind of a downshift. No carrot anymore

    I mean, of all the games out there this one deserves to still be full price. I'm at 100 hours and I don't think we're even close to the end yet. I can't remember another game being this good since elden ring for me. Yeah I agree with this. I mean I haven't spoiled the end so I really don't know...

    I can't believe how long act 3 is. A lot of it feels like filler quests unfortunately. I haven't even left lower city yet. I just killed the hag finally and saved the kid. Still got other shit to do here

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Feel this myself. I became too important and what that means is lots of meetings. It's tough for me to commit code and even tougher to do it on any sort of decent timeline. I suppose it's nice being at the top sometimes, but my work involves a lot of shuffling priorities around and setting...

    Haha yeah. In coop each character gets this cutscene and my wife was like wait what's happening. I was gungho so I said let's just watch and see. She was crying laughing over how ridiculous it was. Then when it was her turn she did the "nevermind" option

    Bella was great in GoT, but I do agree she's entirely unlikeable in the show. It does actually make you sympathize with Abby more, and maybe that's the intent.
