If China can truly do this, maybe the USA will start buying everything from them.

Yeah, but has nothing to do with salary. But maybe he said "When we set the upper limit at Microsoft at 640K, we thought nobody would ever remember we said that."

Not sure with regards to computers. But I think somebody said that "640K ought be enough for anybody". But pretty sure they were talking about CEO salaries in the 80's.

I am curious about what on earth the workload is that you need that clock and proc? AFAIK, even on the higher end versions of the Optiplex of that gen, the HSF is still only rated to 65W. And given the very "specialized" nature of the HSF, not sure you'd find some sort of "upgraded equal" form...

Linux cat /dev/zero > /dev/path/to/your/block/device (use the device path to the whole disk)

It... must... be.... posted.... again....

Not for that, I think their work in "AI" would do more damage if successful. And, they (well, especially Intel) are getting some attention. Again, talking Nvidia in general. I've talked about how I believe that Nvidia's days in the consumer "gaming" arena were numbered. And, frankly, if they...

Pretty sure at best, all you can say is, "it varies".

When I think of gaming on a 65" monitor, I can only imagine my many many many deaths. But, as long as people aren't shooting "at you", probably fine.

500 years from now, when AI Jensen looks backwards from his seat as world leader (aka CEO of Nvidia), I wonder if he'll still be the same? For example, I don't think AI Jensen will have a tangible leather jacket, maybe virtual is good enough? For someone that today sees no difference between...

I saw the new TV, now I can't see anything but spots....

Senior citizen: I love how my webcam makes me look!

I give the edge to AMD just based on maturity. I think this might change after Battlemage (depending). Full disclosure: I use an RX 5700XT (hopefully you can get those for about $100 USD). I switched from green (old Kepler board). I use Linux.

I do agree. So sad. But yes (thanks Nvidia!!), this is the new "normal". Btw, I'm a big advocate of buying people's throwaways on the cheap.

Seems ok. Somewhat competes with itself (that is, AMD competing with their prior gen), but nothing we didn't already know or anticipate. It's new and should keep its value for a bit as a worthy mid tier card. If you have "new" and want "new", it's an ok choice IMHO. It's "better" if you...

Warner switched while closely examining the intricate details of the technology behind $400 million dollars from Sony. They concluded it was indeed superior.

Uh, no. Sony paid people off, a lot, to make sure they didn't lose this time. It was not a "popularity" contest. Sony couldn't afford to be embarrassed again. It was not a battle of superior tech or because of a console. Sony tilted the tables with huge amounts of bribes. You may prefer...

You are very much allowed to be objective here, comparing pros and cons, as long as at the end of the day..... you choose Nvidia (welcome to N̶v̶i̶d̶i̶a̶ ̶ [H])

It's (more than a tidbit) slower than a rx 7900xtx though, an "impossibility" according to greeners. 4090 has been bested. Something that team green would say is "insanity". In fact, depending on settings, it's bested by an el cheapo 7900xt. Sure, it plays.... that's not the point (team...

I just think that it's funny that Nvidia cards perform like crap, even the 4090, on Starfield. We'll see what happens. Fun times for sure. Bethesda. We make games you cannot play. But still, Nvidia's we make cards you cannot afford, seems to have worked well. So maybe Starfield sells like...

It's certainly ok, but probably this deserves its own thread, you know?

While I kind of agree, lately, when things "like this" come to market "like this", it's not "future tech" so much as something "obtainable." Just my own personal observation. I think I'm closer to the reality of density with regards to the technology. But due to that limitation, it places...

Essentially, TCL has made a panel the the vast majority of us will never see. So, maybe it's "great".... but maybe "who cares?" Of course, maybe I'm not in the middle class anymore....

IMHO, more impressive if it wasn't on a jumbo tron sized screen. Just saying. "How'd they pack in so many LEDs? Oh.... I see...."

It's hypothetical. Is there a "base" for performance increase vs cost that you believe is the "fhe floor" when considering an upgrade from the 4090?

Honestly, I was not trying to be funny. But of course, I didn't expect it to cause so much grief either, so my bad.

Sometimes you don't need to be #1 in order to be successful. I think people that are happy with current Nvidia direction have no good reason to switch. I think HUB's recent video about the Intel Arc 750 is interesting from the perspective of what "might be" if Intel continues on their path...

I will certainly filter my posts more carefully. Thanks for helping me out in that area.

What he said, is that without using AI and other techniques, we've hit a wall on rasterization performance. You can watch the videos for yourself.

Am I? You're saying that pricing doesn't impact the consumer? If Nvidia's "consumer" cards are effectively Quadro-priced, perhaps the shift away from consumer is done?

We'll see if Nvidia brings things back down to earth with 50 series pricing. If it keeps going up, I think we both have our answer.

Listen to Jensen. He pretty much said that any future progress will be using tricks. This why I, and many others, believe Nvidia will get out of the consumer GPU game.

A demanding game that delivers what? 200fps for you at 4K? I mean, really? Again, given what Nvidia has said, we're pretty much at a hard limit.

Why? 8K display?? (while that's laughable, realize that Nvidia's long term plan is to not support anything but radical upscaling).

I, like many here, use Plex (on Linux). Prior to that XBMC (what Kodi used to be called). So, I've been a Plex (and lifetime Plex Pass) user for a long time. But like others, I will call out Jellyfin as one to look at as well, but mainly just what I've read and seen on that one. I've...

I know it sounds weird, but you might be surprised at how much Microsoft values being "the only OS", even if you're installing and running it "for free". IMHO, Microsoft is making a mistake by not making a supported path to allow installation on those "non-compliant" machines. But, as a Linux...

Uh, if they wanted to make money, usually you want to support your OS on more platforms, not less (??)

No offense, but that's not Microsoft's job. Especially, since there are known vulnerabilities in the CPUs they do support. Nah, that's bogus, not the reason.

They tested on plain old Quake 2 and were able to reach "Ludicrous Speed".

In all seriousness, I haven't found Windows 11 to be "bad", I don't like Microsoft's arbitrary requirements hardware wise, but it's their choice. I mean, for awhile, it looked like they might be opening up to other architectures. Artificial limitations are a step in the wrong direction.
