OK but it's geeky. In the US, houses/apartments are 120/240V/60hz and some apartments are 120/208V/60hz. What that means is your house panel has 2 hot legs. The voltage between one of those legs is 120V and the voltage between them both is 240 or 208.

The tanning bed I mentioned uses 230V only with a big warning that anything under 219V and anything over 231 volts will void the warranty (and the fucking thing won't even come on). That's out of our US voltage ranges so we have to add equipment (called a buck/boost xfmr) to even get it running. Thankfully it will at least work with the 60hz because that's a whole other headache. Lots of Europe and I believe parts of Canada use 50hz. If this didn't put you fast asleep I hope it helped.

I didn't even know 50 hz was a thing until I got a job in civilian aviation. It is easy everything being 115 VAC/400 hz and 28 VDC though, that's universal for planes.

I meant explain why you’re using European tanning beds in the US really. But this explanation helped.

Japan is partially split 50hz and 60hz cause they bought generators post war one from the US and one from Germany.

And I didn't know planes were anything except 400hz / DC myself. Never seen 50hz but don't get many aviation projects.

Ran timespy on my systems here

5950x 6900xt LDU - 20420 - Graphics 22206 - CPU - 14209
12900k 3090 - 19676 - Graphics 19612 - CPU - 20048
12600k 3080ti - 17809 - Graphics - 19309 - CPU - 12344

Tho this is an older version of timespy and it did warn me that gsync could affect the score on my 3090 system i just ran everything at base without updates.

I had that on my build list back when the 3080s first launched.
glad it's finally available!

When the 25% tariff goes away it'll help a lot. I think we'll see prices come back to what they should have been soon though, I think people are going to find it harder to spend outrageous on video cards these days.

Don’t you have a 3080? I’d say no, you don’t need it.
Yeah but I have a TV that needs its own computer. :)

But that really only needs a 6800 XT and if I can ever get one for MSRP off the AMD site I'll actually do it.
