The 4080 was supposed to be a $700 USD card, they jacked it to $1200 to make it unsellable to all but the desperate and the foolish. Word on the street is they charge the AIB’s like it’s still just a $700 card so the AIBs make bank on any 4080’s...

The power cable issue was proven to be mostly user error. Just need to do an extra check that the cable is secure and you can't pull it out. Once latched, the cable may wiggle, but it doesn't come out. The witness marks of the melted connectors...

Indicators!!! I hear it's 5,436.782 times faster than the 4080, getting 2,042 fps in CP 2077 all while pumping energy back into the grid! It's the first renewable energy GPU. (if you can't tell I hate AMD announcements because they take way...

Many indicators? Such as? Is there something leaked I missed?

At quick glance, their are more Polaris Rx580/570 cards being used than all RDNA combined. Something tells me that upcoming games will have backwards compatibility for older consoles for a very long time.

No sir. Before he buys a bridge from you, he has to buy beach front property in the great state of Nevada from me. :whistle:

PCI-SIG Tells GPU Makers to Improve Testing in Response to Nvidia 12VHPWR Lawsuit By Andrew E. Freedman The Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group, more colloquially known as PCI-SIG, has seemingly called out the companies...

Good point, which brings into question why AMD named their 4080 competitor 7900XTX instead of 7800XTX when they themselves claim it can't compete with the 4090. 🤷‍♂️

Rumor from known leaker kopite7kimi is that Blackwell will still be monolithic. I wonder if NVIDIA discovered that the increased latency inherent in an MCP design is too much for real-time rendering in gaming...

On a 3090 WC right now - the only one that would make real sense for me is a 4090, and until I find a 4k monitor I like, the 3090 is overkill @ 1440P still. Thanks though!

I've worked on cruise ships before, it's one of the most common sicknesses in confined spaces such as a ship. And all because people don't wash their hands properly after taking a shit. :meh:

Still funnier than Norovirus... Worst new years dinner ever...

The A6000 is for us research types. We need stable development drivers, extra support from nvidia when drivers and software clashes, and application support which may not exist for normal consumer level cards. These cards are run at full load...

Well, it seems like it is a lot larger of an audience than there is supply, judging by how difficult it is to get your hands on one, even at the outrageous $1,600 MSRP

Even if they did offer a 4090TI the only significant improvement they could really add would be DP 2.1 for the yet-to-exist screens, because any real performance improvement they could bring to the card for gaming doesn't really add much given...

I'm actually wondering if there will be a 4090TI at all this generation. They have leapfrogged AMD so far with the 4090 that they really don't need to come out with a higher tier to stay ahead, and I have a feeling AMD won't catch back up for a...

Not sure why the need to defend a corporation by throwing the other under the bus. All I said is everyone should hold both companies to the same standard. I neither asked nor needed a run down of what the big bad Nvidia has done.
