general

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

no spooky

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

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

I feel like, they have no reason to make a 5090ti, so this is it until mid-late 2027 when they have the 6000 series out

and if I'm going to get one, I might as well try to get a founders ed. one on-release

well youre going to feel mighty silly

when my 6090

has 42gb

of vram

oh it will

100%

fuck, you know what it is

okay way

does the 5090

have dp2.1

or whateve

the one that actually supports

4k 240hz

lol

because the 4090 did not

I was really convincing myself I should do a new build, and the CPU sucking torpedoed that

i mean

idont know why you expected them to fix the 7950x3d issue

I didn't expect them to do dual CCDs

until 2-3 weeks ago

or whenever we talked about it

and now I'm just coping that they'll fix it in software

Ill sell u one

nah, I'll go stand in line if I choose to get one

Line?

There arent any lines for them they release all the inv online d_kekw

Im passing on 5xxx series

If the performance increases are as big as they always claim, its a good value for the gamers

The founders cards are cheap enough to consider upgrading the 3xxx series

Maybe I should bite the bullet and get a workstation card

idk, I'll think about it more ig

I'm leaning towards getting the 5090, because I do think it's good value even with the 36GB of VRAM but I think I could probably skip and not be too impacted rn
