I mean I got my 5090 for gaming... but also for tinkering with LLM's. I always thought of the DIY hobby as a gateway to real IT skills. And here we are that being exactly what the makers are afraid of.
Honestly this just means the GB202 (or G202 whatever it is) process is refined enough now that they don't have the failure rates of the early chips so there is more capability of making them the FULL chip enterprise models. And with the cost of memory chips being where it is, they are choosing...
Yep... pc sales dip when price to performance becomes too burdensome.
Thankfully we are hitting a wall in price for a lot of electronics where consumers just nope out rather than buy trash gear that won't work for their use case.

See that isnactually cheating unless you bake in the ML function to the story and setting otherwise how would boss f know how you defeated boss a through e? Maybe an observer drone you can take out to disable ML for a period of time.
Honestly that is a very fair question. Are CPU's the last bastion of DIY. Are we going to have SOC's only going forward. I think chances of that are greater than any of us really want.
I saw this in Texas. Same people doing the wholesale power purchases... paying current rates for power not a negotiated rate with the middle man. And when Snowmageddon hit.... they got bills in the multiple thousands of dollars. There is something to be said for contract enforced rates...
That is a great point. Cut the power budget to keep your consumption down otherwise the card will find ways to boost quality with power budget. What I dont get is running over budget.
