Inflation calculator tells me that $1000 in 2011 is 1371.11 today. With a 4090 costing 1599, top tier price has increased 14.3% ahead of inflation. How much have wafer prices increased since 2011 (I’m not going to try to chase that one down). Edit. Could also say “Titan level of performance...

At its core there are some solid parts to phantom menace. The light saber fights were very very good compared to the original trilogy, and a number of scenes were just too long, not specifically bad. Not surprised that it could be turned into a good 75 minute movie

The real "adjustments for modern audiences" made to Battlestar Galactica really have little to do with making starbuck a Woman. The big ones, from original to remix that stand out off the top of my head - there are certainly more that I'll think of after I click post: -Adjusted everyone's...

Have to update things. BSG nailed the update

I can’t think of much on you tube I’m willing to watch the ads for. There is nothing I’ve seen that I’d be willing to pay for

I have a sure fire way to determine the release date of Blackwell: If I buy a 4080 S, Blackwell will be released early Nov 2024. If I wait for the 5090, Blackwell will be released at CES 2026

I’m really toying with the idea of upgrading my 3080ti to a 4080 S as it’s over double the points per day in folding@home for less total power draw. It really depends on a question I can’t answer - when does the 5090 come out and how much will my 3080ti be worth when the 5000 series drops?

Blackwell would need to be really delayed - say Q4 2025 to justify dropping money on a 4090ti for non work scenarios

I bought a 4070 ti super. Probably should have waited for the 4080S, but there is a Folding@Home race NOW, not next week. I wonder just how loose the microcenter return policy is?

When I was doing PC support a long time ago, I used to use the windows key. Haven't been using it much in the past 10+ years. For launching applications, I've got firefox on quick launch and I right click steam in the tray and choose the game (I usually only play 1-2 games at a time)...

triple monitor is small scale for flight simulators. My dad's flight sim X setup is using 8 monitors - 5 for display and 3 for instruments.

I don't think anyone expected any particular media type to live forever. I wouldn't even bet that streaming will last forever.

Blu-ray won the HD media war, so you can’t say they never succeed.

Yes and no. I’m doing quite a bit of work on my 2GB raspberry pi 4s. Works great for Kodi on Xbian, pihole, etc.

Given that the 4080s weren't selling terribly well, Scalping isn't likely to be highly profitable. Can't scalp the TI Super for much premium without getting into 4080 S range, and can't scalp the 4080 S for much without getting into the old 4080 price.

There are more Cuda cores on the 4080 super, in addition to the faster clocks

Who is this supposed to be marketed for? If you’re willing to delid your CPU, you’ll probably want a custom loop with higher quality components what you get in an AIO

I would have called it the 4070 Ultra instead of TI Super. They've used the Ultra branding before and then it doesn't end up with a double modifier.

If MySpace still exists, no way Twitch disappeared

I'm also using 1gbit FiOS, but I so rarely see above 500mbit that I'm not sure it's worth the money. Even downloading from steam I generally only see 600-700mbit unless I start the download at like 1am. And, to be honest, if I'm downloading a game at 1am, I'd be fine with 50mbit, because I'm...
