    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    No, my point was that I'd rather not have to engineer a room-size solution to excess heat, so I'd design and optimize the PC around it. Doesn't matter, just dropped 30k on new heating and cooling.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    In the space of a year people have gone from making fun of me for even caring about power usage and thermals to completely over-exaggerating the power demands of everything.

    Damn, the 3080 TI FE is only 899 and is in-stock. Crazy. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-12gb-gddr6x-pci-express-4-0-graphics-card-titanium-and-black/6462956.p?skuId=6462956

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

    Huh, never actually realized the 3080 12GB had more memory bandwidth, because I just never really thought about it.

    If you really have to say anything, you could just say "I don't have a lot of faith in the product/platform/whatever in its current form."

    MSI Afterburner. Alter the voltage curve so it uses less power and never goes high into the boost frequencies. Youtube it.

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

    There was no 8GB 3080 desktop card. There were 3080 8GB laptop GPUs but those barely count, that's apples to oranges.

    I agree, it IS an interesting case, because zero conservative news outlets showed up to cover the actual trial, not a single reporter was sent, not from FOX, or OAN, or Newsmax, or Breitbart, not a single one, because they spent weeks claiming the story was made up. One would THINK they'd...

    Fantastic deal if someone needs DDR5 for a build: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr5-sdram/p/N82E16820236828 Expect to see DDR5 5600 get pretty cheap going forward as DDR5 6000 will be in high demand for AMD builds.

    Those were always the chips marked up with the highest margins, so they have the most room to come down. Once yields on the high end SKUs were good enough, basically all production went into the high end SKUs, so they have both a lot of them, and a lot of wiggle room to lower the price.

    I just don't know who gives a shit about any of this. LOTR is a good story because it's about Sam and Frodo their epic, legend-worthy friendship, and their antithesis, Gollum, while also having good B stories about Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, etc. The world itself is just not that interesting...

    That's different. Avaya was at 29.67 18 months ago. It could still easily recover to 8+, so 300% gains from here.
