Oh man, "Bungholiomarks" brings back memories! I try to be polite with the trash talking because it is all in good fun, or at least it should be IMHO

I'd like to take a moment to remember my good friend firedfly RIP in peace If we bully him enough, he might prioritize getting the folding rig back together

The folding farm along with most other computer stuff is in storage while remodeling. However, I'm sure he has enough credits in his Vast.ai account to shut me up for a while if he really wanted to. He'll either slap everything back together for...

firedfly's boss: "Hello Peter, what's happening? Ummm, I'm gonna need you to go ahead come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9 that would be great, mmmk... oh oh! and I almost forgot ahh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in...

I'm no youngster at 47, but not as comfortably Gen X as you are!

You were still in high school when I did my first nuclear reactor startup..... though you at least were born. I have one reactor operator co-worker (if you can call him that, he doesn't do much work) who wasn't even born last century.

Threat radar remains clear...... if any of you youngsters come for me, I'm not building an anti-mowing shelter.... I'm buying one of these As it is, I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my RTX5070ti rig to 64GB of DDR5 to unlock the beta WUs...

Duke Nukem 3D was probably the best, but I liked this one: And you didn't even need one of these to play it.... but man, having that thing sticking out of your beige-box would look awesome. I just re-read some of the fine print. Even back...

LMAO..... perfect. I miss the old school trash talking.... snifff 😥

Come for me.... I dare you

I redeemed some credit card reward cash back...

And you replied while I was typing.... LOL. OK, so maybe this is just how it is going to be with these units. I will see how the next unit goes.

On the 5090, I will see variations of 10-12 seconds per frame at times. So that doesn't seem to be too much of an oddity.

having finished 23 frames on the 617.14 driver , I then plugged my log into Excel..... 7:03 minutes a frame, which looks like a slight improvement, but the units vary from 6:58 to 7:19 minutes. I will take the improvement, but the variance is...

I bit the bullet and installed that new driver. In the day and age of 32 cores, 64GB Ram, and solid state drives, IT SHOULD NOT TAKE 5 MINUTES to reboot a machine. We've gone back to the '90's. I also installed WinBlows updates and finally got...

are 32 cores enough? 😉

Yes. Looking at my logs, though much less dramatic, I have 1 that is 2 sec/frame faster, but is 1.5MPPPD LESS. But in general they are all around 7:10 to 7:20 TPF, seems like the baseline for an RTX5080 is right around 60MPPD (about double normal).

I guess your assessment is correct, a 32GB kit is still cheaper than a RTX50 series card, and now that we know how to get the units regularly, it's mildly tempting to upgrade my RTX507ti rig.
