I didn’t get the thing with wearing the Dave clothes all the time to these releases. Just seems weird
can someone explain to me AMD’s strategy? they’re waiting for Nvidia to release the 5000 series for weeks before releasing their own? how does that make any sense
The CEOs are cousins, their strategy is to take all your money.
But how many spatulas can he buy with that sweet sweet GPU money?
Omg I wish I had that many rubber spatulas
Spatula city is having a liquidation sale. So quite a lot.
Holy spatula. Interesting backsplash too.
Horrible to clean
I’d put in a professional hood if I had that kind of money
Horrible to clean
DEAR GOD THE 9090 RELEASE JENSON PLEASE!
What GPUs to buy?
They’re all gone. Everything. 7900XTXs, 30, 40s, obviously 50s.
It doesn’t make sense. Did like a new crypto craze kick off?
Voodoo 2 SLI or maybe a GeForce 256
AI. Consumers get the leftovers that can’t be binned high enough to be H100s that they can sell for 30k a piece to companies doing AI work. The 50 series uses the same node as the 40 series, so they stopped production on the 40s to allocate time to the new chips. Of course this has the nice effect of stopping cannibalization of sales when it turns out the 5080 is basically a 4080 super and would be binned as a x070 or x060 Ti part in prior gens.
Either way it looks like they only started working on them early January based on some investigation so far (https://youtu.be/wMd2WHKnceI) so there’s likely only a couple thousand 5090s even in existence.
The “Leather jacket is part of my identity” people are weird. Especially if they are as old as this guy and don’t even ride.
He attributes the style choice to his wife and daughter suggesting the jacket.
Gatekeeping it to people that ride is lame and antiquated
It’s my lizard-embossed jacket, and for me it’s a sign of my immortality and my belief in insatiable greed.
Meanwhile 5090’s are now going for +$3k
May slightly impact your FPS per $ calculation, just a smidge.
If you care about FPS/$ you do not buy the latest and greatest. So why would you try to make it look bad with that number? Absurd. It is like comparing a heavy E-Bike for 2 kids add on to a carbon super light bike based on weight.
If you care about real FPS/$, you buy AMD, or possibly now Intel, lol.
Nvidia ruined gaming affordability both by aiming to make high quality graphics on PC a boutique, expensive luxury, and by upending the entire history of how lighting works in games by collaborating with Epic and other game companies to make their cards the only things that can even kind of run their insanely unoptimized real time raytracing.
UE 5 w/ nanite and lumen is an unoptimized mess, only moderately performant at high resolutions on Nvidia cards that cost as much as an entire PC.
I am entirely convinced Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch is almost entirely due to Projekt Red being strapped for cash, and making a faustian funding bargain with Nvidia about a year before release, the main condition of which being ‘rewrite your entire game engine you’ve been working on for 10 years to work with this insane lighting technology, and don’t let this change your release window at all.’
This is part of the general strategy that basically all companies selling a product to a wide range of American consumers have done in the last 5 years:
Fuck the poors, only rich people even have disposable income now, turn everything into a luxury aimed at the rich.
Its not working out so well for the car industry, but it is for housing.
