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

    Yeah I work on servers, the power draw without GPUs is already super high (2x1500W PSUs are common), but when GPUs are added we have to really amp it up (heh)

    I saw it but I hate faux wood. Thanks for looking out though.

    Ah just joking anyways. I usually obsess over components but this time just kind of read a few reviews and took what I thought might be the best. Hope for both of us turns out good

    That's why I bought 2x32GB and not 4x16 And didn't buy it for performance gains, I just wanted headroom.

    You know what, you're right. Our edibles went down in price here in MA too.

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

    I went with 2x16GB in my 2019 build and back then people gave me shit saying 16GB was good enough. I don't get too worried about how people feel about that though. I do a lot of guitar recording and other music stuff where I appreciate all the headroom.

    Yeah saw that, not sure if I want to yet or not. Btw I saw any the RGB case is cheaper. You can disable the RGB IF you buy an option argb controller. They're just nickel and diming people

    Meh maybe, I wanted a 3d processor and the 9800x3d is kind of the king right now. I only build every 5 or so years so trying to stretch this. I'll upgrade the GPU long before I build a new machine.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.
