500w is so last generation. We are onto 1kW and 2kW designs in the future.

I honestly had a ton of issues with the newer drivers (since the 50 series launch started this year) even with my RTX 2070. This is probably "me" specific, but when I would change the inputs on my display (from laptop via HDMI to PC via displayport), the nvidia drivers crash consistently...

That future includes GPU servers that are so power hungry that they consume up to 600kW per rack. Small typo in that sentence. We are seriously in the 1950's automotive era of performance in computing right now. Bigger and more power hungry by any means necessary, efficiency be damned...

Yes, lets replace the 64TB, 128TB and upcoming 256TB class SSDs that are 2.5" format or smaller with... 3.5" drives that top out at 30TB of storage capacity and ultimately use more power per byte. I'm sure a ton of AI cluster designers will opt for that solution.

RSIC-V? Is that an offshoot of RISC-V?

I'm in my 40's, and honestly I had never heard of the game Mafia before a few years ago. Going from never hearing about it to having people calling it a classic is very odd. *Edit: it was created in 1986, first played in 1987 according to wikipedia.

I know it's not fair, as it's fundamentally different forms of AI, but I hear AI telecom solutions and my first thought is a hallucinated connection between endpoints that shouldn't be talking to each other. Imagine calling your wife and being connection to a random person overseas, etc. Or...

Spurred, as in motivated. Spurned is to reject with disdain. If it caused them to spurn moving their manufacturing to the U.S. It means they are actively moving it elsewhere instead.

I would love to see a head-to-head between this and the Micron 4600, or any other new SM2508 powered drive.

Exactly that!

As a follow up to this: Newegg had MSRP listings, but they never went in stock. Only the $900+ listings showed as in stock during this launch. *Edit: It really felt like "These listings are for compliance, and to get people off our backs. The ones for sale are the actual cards though."

Something that is hard to reconcile is the fact that Newegg as of this morning (the 20th), lists multiple models at MSRP. However, their only tweet about receiving 5070 Ti's for sale shows the MSI model that Microcenter is listing for $1000+. So listing MSRP models, but only showing you have...

I guess I'm just burnt out and cynical. I truly don't believe that anyone involved, from nVidia, to the AIB vendors, to any of the retailers have any reason to lower prices throughout the lifecycle of the cards. Especially with nVidia removing any other options from retail channels, they are...

You should go check out Microcenter. They just (this morning in time for the reviews) conveniently have a sale on the Asus card that was passed to reviewers. The list price is $899. They have magically slashed it for review day today back to MSRP at $749. It is the ONLY listing available at...

Basing any performance/$ valuation on this card at MSRP is foolish. There is no FE to anchor it to MSRP. The cards released to the press are slated to be sold $150 above MSRP. So why even discuss the card as a decent value at $749 when it will cost 20% more than that at launch? *Edit to...
