This is exactly why the only available 5090's are at up to 50% markups. The AIBs are fully complicit in somehow getting them into China to be repurposed for Ai. Still don't understand why Nvidia just doesn't triple 5090FE production and cut the allocation to these scummy AIBs.

I would rather see the US dump $50 billion into maintaining the latest process node than spending on another aircraft carrier and/or new fighter jet. The Chinese are dumping billions in order to catch up to TSMC. The worst case scenario would be TSMC and China being the only capable...

This is pretty much the current situation. Expect the banhammer if you even dare to buy used games for this console.

The true question is how much has the DoD's computer systems have been compromised by this unforced "error"?

That's been going on for awhile already. Intel is dead man walking. Has the stench of other industry has beens that are either dead or shadows of their former selves like DEC, IBM, and SGI. Only government provided life support is going to keep them around.

We’ll see but Mac games usually don’t have all the eye candy that the PC versions do so it’s not really a fair comparison. Is VRR supported on Mac’s?

MSRP or BUST

You betcha if/when China takes over Taiwan, it'll be Tomahawks hitting the foundries and not Chinese cruise missiles.

That's what Nintendo gets for using a 7 year old Samsung 8nm node that already held back Ampere. Guess Nvidia still had a lot of wasted Samsung allocation that didn't want to use to make more Amperes. The Switch 2 should've been made with at the very least TSMC 5nm.

Yup, along with that they tend to use the worst screens, one of the reasons I avoid their laptops. No one has figured out how to get any Intel Wifi7 cards to work on any non-Intel system, laptop or desktop motherboard.

Dump the employees and pump up the stock. This is why the board fired Gelsinger. Typical short term American “Jack Welch” line of thinking that has led to the demise of multiple industry greats.

Yeah I've basically given up on ever getting the 5090 at original MSRP. High end GPUs are never going to be decently priced until if/when Ai ever comes crashing down.

I have a 48" LG OLED C2 for gaming. love it, but it's not for everyone.

Power requirements aside, isn't the "Flagship CPU" 275HX in this overpriced thing slower in gaming than the 14900HX?

Ah, the old taking time to "polish the turd" routine. It's not like it's the first Blackwell release.
