Pretty interesting results. I'd say it's not bad as just a differential between two cards. But it's assuming full TDP for "light to medium use" for your cards. Not sure what the idle draw on these cards are - that number is harder to find sometimes.

Sorta.... 15-25% generational improvement is I have more or less come to expect, before overclocking though. Overclocking, I've always seen as icing on the cake. If I can get it, great. If I don't, well, it wasn't guaranteed. 5080 is in a bad spot right now. I mean, at least it doesn't cost...

Hahaha DeepSeek accused of all sorts of bad stuff. Now Available on Nvidia!

Well I guess you can sell out even a $2000+ halo item if you only make 10 of them Gotta keep the hype real

It's all PFM (pure ****ing magic)

It carries unbalanced load if you are going phase to phase … but you are going phase to neutral on both legs. The currents do not cancel — it’s like carrying a 50 lb barbell in each hand. The weights don’t cancel out to 0 lbs total just because you have them out of phase on each arm. If...

I blame nVidia moreso than I do the AIBs, and to be honest, I blame people willing to pay these markups as to why they exist, and why they will continue to get worse. Not that I really have any sympathy for them either, but they have very limited opportunity to add much innovation over FE...

Well, if you are sitting at a desk, you can only go so big before it starts to get too big. I was a 24" monitor guy for a long time. Went to 27" about 3 or 4 years ago. Now at 4K I'm starting to want 32" (I'm getting old, text at 4K on a 27" is starting to get squinty for me), but 42" is just...

Reminds me of the 1000 series to 2000 series jump, only without the DLSS carrot there to give you a reason to bite.

I'd imagine that people that are ready to fork over $2k+ for a GPU are probably camping out in their RVs, with their portable generators going. Or renting out the party bus and hanging out in style. I mean, if you are reduced to sleeping on the sidewalk with a tent... maybe you shouldn't be...

Also, wow, can't believe you are trusting all that money in hardware to Ebay refurbished UPSes. I mean, glad it's working for you, but that's a lot of trust in some random dudes on Ebay. I think I'd rather plug it straight to grid with just a surge suppressor than trust a cheap or used UPS. I...

You can change the breaker out from a double-pole 220V to a two 120V breakers, then it would be dedicated per each side. The hot wire for one of them will be red versus black, but that's technically in code. The issue would be the shared neutral line... which is really only there to provide...

Uh huh. Sure.

Kinda surprised you didn’t leave the 230 outlet at 230 and run the PSUs off the higher voltage for that smidge better efficiency Looks nice though!

Kinda wish Hollywood would learn the same lesson - it’s not the budget of the movie, it’s if it’s a good movie

Totally agree. I can remember in high school when Doom released. We lived in a dorm, and a bunch of us LAN partied it all weekend. Not a lot of multiplayer (I don't even remember if it had multiplayer on the original release right away, and we didn't exactly have Ethernet, it was all dialup for...

All of that running, but sitting at 0.8% idle CPU usage. Not sure cores are really any bottleneck there. I mean, heck, I'm on an old 5900x... I've got Chrome open, with a game running in the background, and almost a dozen random junk things in the task bar simialr to what you mention... and...

Oooo so I can go back and relive all those cool walkthroughs in Nintendo Power

Well thankfully you can still get the game without having to buy an Intel processor.

There are some themes that are common, lots of names and personalities that carry over - but it’s more as fan service than anything. FF14 has the most throwback to other titles but it’s all as nostalgia / fan service. Most every title will have Chocobos, an engineer named CID, some elemental...
