    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Except 900 and 1000 are still a lot of fucking money, These are not budget cards, not remotely comparable to a 3060, not sure where your analogy is going. I think these are going to force Nvidia to lower the price of the 4080 in a few months, because that thing looks overpriced for the specs...

    What are you playing?

    Thanks for reminding me that I own Timespinner and haven't played it. I am currently playing.... Super Mario World, because I haven't touched it in 25 years so why the fuck not? Also it's about all my totally-burned-out brain can handle right now. So yeah I just took a 4 day weekend to play...

    Chick-fil-a and Popeyes near me are still good. Five Guys has gone to shit, they cook everything to death, though the fries are still great. Smashburger is pretty good but the one around here is retarded and always takes 40 minutes to make your food because there's a bajillion mobile orders...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    It is simple. On PC it's always DisplayPort on any decent monitor, and if you connect to a TV, HDMI is your only option. PC monitors only have HDMI inputs to make it easier to hook up secondary sources like undocked laptops, streaming dongles or consoles.

    SQQQ is for shorting intra-day Nasdaq moves. Not for holding. You can really fuck yourself by holding it. You would have to believe that the Nasdaq is going to go down every day for the next X days to hold it for any length of time.

    Not sure where you get that from those numbers. Also the 5800X3D is really only good at one thing and the 13600K is way cheaper and in most cases as good. Dollar for dollar, watt for watt, the 13600K tuned properly is probably the best, though if the 13700K ends up selling for unusually low...

    The simple answer to overcome the design flaws of current AM5 is to just wait for 3D AM5 where that 'flaw' is baked in and expected.

    I think 50 points is the expectation, they would have to go with 25 for it to rip up substantially.

    They have Amazon in Europe right? There's gotta be a better deal than that. Search for LG model numbers that start with 27GP850 or 27GP83B. They should be better versions of the monitor you linked and likely cheaper.

    That chart starts at 5 meters. These are like 2 foot cables tops. It's not the cables burning up, it's the connectors/pins. And even still, multiple experienced testers have intentionally tried to get their cables to burn up and couldn't. It ain't the cables, its some shoddy work at the ends...

    The stuff from nvidia are still adapters and therefore a compatibility hack. Native 3.0 cables aren't doing this.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    https://www.smpspowersupply.com/atx3connectors.html So 6 of the 12 main pins are 12v. So for a 600w adapter (the max possible under this new spec) that's 100w per pin, though most of these are supposed to be 450w adapters so 75w per pin.

    I am not going to go SQQQ again while BTC and especially ETH are rallying. I am using afterhours ETH trading as an imperfect barometer for sentiment on risky tech ventures. It's nowhere close to 1:1 but when you see money pouring into ETH, it means tech investors have their wallets open.
