The Cobra's latest activity

I read about this a few days ago. Fucking crazy how these cards are nowadays.

I am using the 12V-2x6 cord that I purchased with my 4090 that I paid $35 for when I got my 4090 originally. It is rated for my 5090 and have not had any issues.

I could really use the money but I don't have the heart to sell my 5090...YET.

Nvidia asked me if I wanted the 5090FE version. I had a week ro respond. I said yes. I purchased the card on my credit card. Turned around and sold the 4090 on a local reddit IT event for $2400 and made a few hundred bucks. Went to a nice dinner...

Wowie! 5080s are selling for $1900-2000 for base models on Best Buy. Newegg and Amazon sellers are way worse. Uh, had a slight manufacturing malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank...

LibreOffice isn't an exact look and feel.

This card was as low as $8000 just six months ago https://shorturl.at/IMhbC. I remember talking to my spouse and toying with the idea of actually getting one. Yeah, nope...

Unless Nvidia somehow performs a miracle and throws DLSS open-source, this won't amount to much, will it? Or am I wrong? I mena from a pure technology perspective, it is def a cool demonstration.

If Nvidia even makes a 5090 equilivent...

Ihave my 5090 in my main rig and I paid $599 for a 9070XT last year to have as a backup.

Gotta stock up while you can (Honestly this was all last years stuff because I like playing with different architectures,. I'm halfway tempted to import a Lisuan LX 7G100 to play with)

I think we will in the long run. We are in the middle of a bubble right now, companies are borrowing insane amounts of money, a large number of the new GPUs haven't even been installed, they are just sitting in warehouses, this is not...

"Strokes his 5090 for maximum value in a few years"

If you mean performance. No. If you mean features. No. If you mean pricing. No. If you mean power consumption. No. If you mean form factor. No. If you mean availability. No. Apart from those things though, maybe.

This has become a "Pay to Play"/Mercantilest market in the memory sector. Ii paid $640 for 128GB of Corsair DDR5 ECC RDIMMS for my current set in the sig below back in Nov of 2024. Nowadays a single stick of Micron 32gb of DDR5 RDIMM goes for...

Wealth maker, at least for now.. Blocking CMXT as competition for a free market in the consumer sector by this admin also plays into the suckage.

I had two of these in Crossfire thyen I upgraded to a Radeon Pro and an R9-Fury. Loved that setup.

I was toying with the idea of an RTX 6000 earlier this year then the price went from $8200 to $12.5 and $15K + Ugh.

Finally, been waiting for this to drop. Base price did skyrocket, but it looks like for the higher end stuff it didn't go up as much in comparison, and that is what I'm interested in for AI. The RTX 6000 pro literally like doubled in price...

I'm more than happy to buy quality content, on HD or UHD BD. Otherwise...
