February 5, 20251 yr Oh man, and I just bought a local Russian made Nuclear reactor so I’d have enough juice to run my paper-mache 5090.
February 8, 20251 yr I heard that the gigantic, experimental fusion reactor in southern France, known as ITER, is so we can be ready for the 600 series graphics cards in a few years.
February 8, 20251 yr You Brit’s will have to update your power grid, 230V 13A isn’t gonna cut it for the nVidia 6090 Uranium Z launch … where a lucky 42 people will get one if they provide sufficient documentation to support their power source will not catch on fire and sign a waiver that you absolve nVidia from any wrong doing for anything that may or may not happen. Heck US will be in trouble to, 120V 15-20A will not drive nVidia 6090 Uranium Z. I’m gonna need my EV charge outlet (240v 50A) to run my PC. nVidia 6090 Uranium Z Available November 13th 2026 - 42 globally for $3000 MSRP + Scalper Tax $9000 + Retailer Markup $4000 + Tariff $5000 + contract for release knowledge $8000 … so for just $29,000 you get to play games at 15 FPS more than anyone else … bargain! And to demonstrate you are a qualified buyer, nVidia will use AI DeepRetina to perform an extra Deep scan to ensure that there is less than a 99% chance you will attempt to sue nVidia for damages, loss of sanity, poverty, and family abandonment.

February 11, 20251 yr I’m getting notifications from Asus that their 5090 cards are “Back in stock” … I click on the link in the email within 10 seconds of getting the email (my email client is always active and checking) and “sold out” … I’ve had 4 emails from ASUS with back in stock and 1 notification via the BestBuy mobile app in which result was the same “out of stock” when clicking the link. BestBuy claimed that if you install their mobile app you’ll get instant notification that will be faster than going thru email servers … yeah … errr … no! I’m doing this as an experiment and don’t really plan to by a 5090 … I’ve given up on that due to all the issues those few customers that have one are going thru. The latest round of burnt cables and connectors going all the way back into the PSU (not just the GPU) for such low sales quantity, black screen, significant issues working in PCIe gen 5, is something I don’t want to pay $5000+.

Having done push notifications at scale on both APNS and GCM (think >100,000 in a 5s interval), this is true in almost all cases.

You would think since there is one less layer of processing. But I have the BestBuy mobile App and got ZERO notifications. I even have BestBuy "Elite Membership" for $180/year which says: "Exclusive access to sales, events and highly anticipated products." I did get 1 (and only 1) notification via email from BestBuy ... not that it matters because BOTs would have likely "discovered" before anyone could get notification be it via Mobile App or Email. Sadly the war against BOTs will never be won, but AI, Advertisers, rich CEOs rely on them so much it's their Achilles heel. Which is exactly why no government agency will ban them or prevent them, we have the means, but not the will ... just think of all those Search engines that would come back with false information ... what sort of future would that be ... oh wait 😉

February 13, 20251 yr “Consider the future” … what?! Next you’ll be telling me you actually want to see the human race survive! 😉 Ah Stargate … one of the few SciFi series I haven’t watched … had to look that up.

April 23, 20251 yr I'm considering if an upgrade is worth it. Newegg trade in is offering me about $600 for my old 4070ti which I could use towards the $969 price of a 5070ti.....

April 24, 20251 yr AMD 9070 XT OC would be the best option = 5080 at 1/2 the cost. Not to mention avoiding all the issues with nVidia drives where they didn’t read GPU thermals so fans didn’t run at all, permanent damage!! Not sure what is going on with nVidia, but I would avoid anything nVidia at this point. Fortunately a hotfix came out the, but way too late for many nVidia owners, damage was done.
April 29, 20251 yr https://www.guru3d.com/story/geforce-rtx-5080-super-24-gb-and-rtx-5070-super-18-gb-what-we-know-so/ Rumour is there may be only two desktop GPU manufacturers Nvidia and Intel in two years, maybe sooner. Edited April 29, 20251 yr by G-RFRY Raymond Fry.
