I didn’t say you “need a 5090 enjoy the other 5% of games,” the implication is performance. And no, I highly doubt your 3060 is not doing that. With lowered settings and no ray tracing on some games, sure. When we’re talking about flagship GPUs, the idea is that people buy them to be able to run at 1440p/4k, higher graphics settings, and maintain at least stable 60+fps.

There’s games right now that even a 4090 struggles to run on maxed settings at 4k and stay above 60fps at all times. However, DLSS 3+ and similar tech saves the day with frame gen and upscaling. Developers just need to optimize their shit.

And if you don’t care about graphics at all, then of course this is all irrelevant and participating in this discussion is completely pointless.

Ah, so you’re a moronic troll. Got it. Have a good one.

Ah, gotcha. I haven’t been looking for GPUs for a few years now, so I was low-key excited that there was actually a deal that good.

But yeah, I agree that the last couple gens of flagship GPUs are vastly overkill for 95% of games.

Churchill was indeed an asshole, no argument there.

Uh, what? I definitely did… Tanya’s character wasn’t that tragically sad, IMO. She was actually kind of a selfish asshole. There’s no other connection between S1 and S2 besides her character that I can recall.

Pretty sure the UK literally endured the same amount of stress and terror as Ukraine, given that the Germans dropped tens of thousands of bombs on their major cities for years.

Was that the Hawaiian season? I don’t remember it really hitting that hard in terms of being sad, but it’s been awhile since watching it. Newest season is great so far, though.

Out of curiosity, what GPU is getting 85% of a 5080’s performance at $250? Genuine question.

Yeah, I bought my 3090 used in 2022 for $600USD. It hasn’t had a single issue yet. Knock on wood

People really shouldn’t sleep on buying used. I know it can be risky, but if you do it through platforms that offer some amount of buyer protection for the first 30-90 days, I think the risk is greatly reduced. If your card doesn’t die in that early window, the chances of it dying in the next year or so are pretty low.

My theory is that he’s always known Tesla was massively overvalued and it was only a matter of time before the company’s stock started correcting towards a more realistic value for the amount of profit it actually generates. As such, he needed to take drastic action(s) to find other gold mines for him to exploit to retain his wealth base.

No shit? Glad it’s “official,” I guess, but literally anyone left with basic arithmetic skills and common sense knew that gutting fed workers wasn’t going to even remotely be enough to make up $2 trillion. So many analysts had said as much all summer long when DOGE started being floated.

Definitely keep watching. Larry David is definitely not a magtard and the show is hilarious. Also, in the later seasons, she only makes brief appearances. Hell, the last season has an entire multi-episode arc calling out and making fun of Georgia’s voter suppression laws.

What post are you referring to?

Lame. Discord has already been dipping their toes into the enshitification pond the last few years, so I imagine it’s going to get worse as they move closer to going public and moreso afterwards.

There’s a reason tons of major authors have come out against Amazon. I think Brandon Sanderson even went so far as to write books in secret and shadow drop them onto other book platforms, purposefully avoiding Amazon entirely. Also, Kindle Unlimited is an awful deal for authors, they get literal pennies for every reader.
