    This is why there's no stock...Not even in hand yet and there's already a listing in ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3090-Founders-Edition-Order-Confirmed/124540365638?epid=6041238838&hash=item1cff2f2b46:g:8JwAAOSwR-NgCxA~

    [RUMOUR] Nvidia to introduce add in cards for Ray Tracing

    We're still talking about hardware acceleration so my point stands. It's either all in or nothing. Why do you think devs code for the most common denominator? If that wasn't the case, they would all be jumping on-board to RTX and DLSS, yet the only times you see these are when companies like...

    PS5 - The Future of Gaming | The Power of V

    GPUs cost like $1000 and here are people crying about a $500 console. Stop being poor. Either pony up and buy one, or go back to your PS3.

    [RUMOUR] Nvidia to introduce add in cards for Ray Tracing

    I feel like unless this was included in all of their chips except the bottom budget oriented chips, developers will skip adding RTX features. Physx add-in cards had this problem. No sane developer will waste resources developing features for a 1% market share unless it's a AAA title funded by...

    Tesla Model S "Spontaneously" Erupts

    You miss the part that Teslas don't spontaneously combust. If there's a short that causes a fire, you have lots of time to get out of the car. In a petrol car, the whole thing erupts in flames.

    Asus PQ321Q Firmware update

    Tesla Unveils Model Y Electric SUV with 300-Mile Range and Seven Seats

    I think you can purchase one for the Model S, but you'd never fit a spare in a X or Y. The 3 would take up all the trunk cargo room with a spare in it. You'd be better off calling Tesla if you had a flat. They have 24/7 road service

    Tesla Unveils Model Y Electric SUV with 300-Mile Range and Seven Seats

    I highly doubt you will find an EV with a spare wheel. The extra weight has a hit on range and you need every mile you can get. Use a tire repair kit instead .

    "Door Handles Wouldn't Work": Tesla Driver Dies in Burning Car after Crash

    You mean like a hot engine, right? ICE cars catch on fire all the time, but only a handful of EVs do and usually only in highly serious accidents, yet this makes them so much more inherently dangerous?

    "Door Handles Wouldn't Work": Tesla Driver Dies in Burning Car after Crash

    This is just fud. Take any ICE mobile, crash it into a tree at 70+ mph and it has as much as a chance to catch on fire like any EV with a compromised battery. You just don't see news about ICE cars catching on fire because it's not sensationalized news. I mean shit, if EVs are so dangerous, we...

    AAA Study Claims Cold Weather Significantly Shortens EV Range

    Cold weather quite significantly affects range. I've done highway trips in my Tesla in the winter where temps are in the mid 20s - so like dry cold, no snow or salt on the roads. My range nosedived about 40% for the same trip from NH to CT when compared to summer. Part of the reason is you also...

    Tesla Model 3 Owners Vent about Polar Vortex Affecting Cars

    At least your doors don't freeze when it gets just below freezing all the time. Some of his complaints are valid, but the loss of range is quite well documented. Just whining there.

    Tesla Drastically Increases Supercharger Prices around the World

    Model 3 uses the heat from the motors to heat the battery so it's more efficient. However, you just haven't driven in cold enough temperatures for long enough periods of time My Model S would lose over 40% of capacity once it dropped below 30. My Model X with 5 people hit 450wh/m the other...

    Tesla Drastically Increases Supercharger Prices around the World

    a full charge for a Model 3 in MA ran about $13 a few weeks ago, but we started with 80 miles of range. Model 3 gets around 310 miles of range or so. The problem with supercharging is it's not that fast when doing long trips, so the prices they charge are not "inline" or fair for the people who...

    Plantronics Reaches $36 Million Settlement with SEC

    I used to work at Polycom during that timeframe. The CEO actually got fired because he would take people out to fancy restaurants and then expense it as a company expense. it was all very hush hush when they canned him. The sucky part is that HR became Nazis with regard to company expenses after...

    Comcast / Xfinity Throttling 720p Vids to 480p & Hotspots

    Tesla Opens 10,000th Supercharger

    These reports makes many assumptions which are all incorrect. En EV that was powered 100% by coal power plants would still be way greener than a comparable ICE vehicle. Charging is > 95% efficient and EVs are still > 95% efficient compared to 20-30% for gasoline, not taking into account the...

    Final Fantasy XV

    My 1080 ti with the same settings at the demo runs a solid 10-15 fps slower on avg at 3840x1600. This game needs SLI; wish devs would stop being so lazy about implementing it. In any case, I think Denuvo is also causing performance issues.

    The difference? Hyper-V in Win 10 and Hyper-V server 2016...

    I'm not sure where you got that it doesn't exist - as of last year we had paid MSDN subs. Hyper-V is free if you use the CLI only version - if you want a full blown server 2016 Datacenter instance, you have to shell out $$$. What we did was license each individual hypervisor with keys from MSDN...

    [HOT?] Spider-Man: Homecoming UHD -- $9.99

    Sound BlasterX AE-5 is 30% off Today Only
