general

Tbh the card im actually interested in is the fucking intel one

B580 looks great if they unfuck their drivers

Idk if its stable enough to rec to the poor fags that need gpus and have no tech knowledge

But it looks like a nice drop in for the ppl still running 1660s

I'm really mad about the software, if you're going to focus on an X86 interpreter to run your Nemo adding in another Windows-specific layer is going to be a perf hit they carry forever

spooky.

what happened to our vram pact

you werent going to upgrade unless they put massive vram

I'm really on the fence about building a new computer, AMD let me down

but I want that 4k240hz monitor

its samsung

just wait for lgs panels

ik

fuck

i dont like qd oled

no, you're right, idk I have to see what the release dates for everything look like

lg are the ONLY ONES working on the oled white fix

I really want to do a new build, but I really think the 9950X3D was a miss

and spending $3k on an AM5 build (ignoring GPU) with that CPU feels like a waste

i thought we knew since 7950x3d that non 800x3ds wont be good

they cant do the cores properly

i dont think theyll fix the issue anytime soon

its a pretty difficult issue to fix to be honest

so, the new chipset scheduler is TBD

that's the thing we need actual benchmarks for

the fact they're not going single-CCD is BIZZARE

i dont even care about the chipset stuff, i just think the way they have it layed out

on the actual die

is not good

for the 7950/9950

and how they do cores

there's no reaon to lay it out like that, again

if there's no solution yet

7950x3d peeps literally disable half their cores

to stop Windows from fucking up thread handling

I can't beleive they'd do it again

if it's still that broken

but no, I'm 99% sure I'm not getting that CPU

nigga amd is the only option anyways unless you wana buy one of their new returned consumer threadrippers

and I think the 5090 is actually a good value, even if the VRAM gimp is frustrating

its fomo

you want vram

no, I think it's good value

you will not lie to me about having like 40+ conversations between us

about vram being important and how youre not going to buy a 5090

it's $2k

yeah you know what else is 2k

the biggest hold-up rn is the software layer in Windows

Max

I think at this point we are running into way more software limitations than hardware

they called their dynamic models Nemos

you don't understand

Maybe not for what spooky does but for games 100%

I was expecting this GPU to be $2500-$3000

Raw cpu and gpu power has gotten pretty crazy but we still arent seeing that much gain over the last few yrs

and was at the point where I knew other than doing a chink GDDR6x upgrade

the only way I was getting more VRAM was dropping 10k

optimization is has just fallen off because we got too many boosts

every game is vram capped now

not because of needing that much vram

but because every game shoves every fucking thing into the render pipeline

but 36GB (even if it's 12GB too low) for $2k

and as long as "it fits"

yeah, you know it's a bad value

but Max

Nemos

Clearly we just need to support nvlink again and combining vram

I do that with my 3090

you take a hit on mem bandwidth

They really should do that just to sell double the cards again

but you can pool higher

I miss having my work cards playing with those was fun

Sli and the nvlink shit was a great biz strategy

Even if you want to be a retard and build a stupid pc, you give nvidia at most 2k

If they let you run 4 cards again, sheeesh

idea: instead of robbing cataltytic converters

you rob nvidia chips

Just rob the bestbuy

ok Max, I'm genuinely on the fence
