Snow day!

Pika, have you considered if you join the US, you'll get a lot more snow days from school/work?
Nvidia keynote is starting now if people care
it'll be a lot of AI buzzwords
but might have some cool cherrypicked stuff
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Pika, have you considered if you join the US, you'll get a lot more snow days from school/work?
If the US makes Canada have US rules for snow days
we would get 90% of winter off
every year
it would be funny
School in canada is cancelled if it is -40 or an insane amount of snow
my area got a bit robbed today
DC got 8+ inches, town over got 12+
but I got 4, maybe 5 by now
ha, Nvidia is going full buzzword already
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak School in canada is cancelled if it is -40 or an insane amount of snow
that's the same with my university
West Virginia we needed 18''-2' to get class canceled
but profs would usually call off class on their own before that
Really good prices
the 5090 and 5070 are the only ones worth buying, but all their prices are lower than market had priced in
For my own comparison sake
how much better is a 5070 from a 1070
my gut says 8x, but let me think about that
yeah 6-8x in terms of pure FPS, but it's a little hard to quantify since from the 2000 series on the tech changed
it's infinitely better at raytracing and Transformer AI
glad to know its only that much more times better than my machine!
Someday I will have money to buy a new pc
this is not directed at you Pika, but I actually think the 5070 is a really good buy for anyone with less than a 3080
oh wait, 5070 is 12GB not 16GB
I thought the whole range was 16
less of a good deal now!
fuck, that's actually annoying
I still think the 5090 and 5070 will sell out and get scalped immediately
I googled it to see if people were still selling them, I could buy a 1070 super right now for 2.5k
how good of a deal is that
KappaHDD
they sell solid gold servers now
1.2ton
fuck, I'll probably be lining up for a 5090 won't I
Llama has become Nemo
now I have to buy 2
congrats in advance Regi
4090 was SELLING at $2400-$2500
there'll be solid margins there
I was really big on the 5070, until I re-read that it's 12GB
it's painful to pay $200 additional dollars for 4GB of more VRAM
issue is that programs/games are retarded with memory, they NEVER test throughput, they singularly allocate a pool
it's not a dealbreaker, but it's not as much of a blind reccomend to everyone now

Profit on last gen was a few hundred
part of me thinks, they're ready for tariffs
all of these prices
are WELL below all the rumors/leaks
even the industry ones
I get the feeling Nvidia knows there'll be a 20% tariff
I actually think all their prices could easily rise 20%
and be absorbed
ok, that's true, and thus far there's not been enough software being pitched that's going to imminently need to be deployed for business
