Surely, no company would ever do anything that could possibly increase GPU costs; they would take the small hit to their margins in order to keep prices at the reasonable and affordable level to which we have become accustomed, because what could be more important than the positive regard of...

Does it come with added tannin?

Tsk! You should know by now that almost everything I say is dripping with snark and sarcasm. Snarkasm, one might say. Edit: belatedly realised I forgot to quote bit_user, so now I look like a nutter making random out of context remarks. Whoops.

- If it results in limited performance, prices will rise and Nvidia will increase profit. - If it results in plenty of performance, prices will rise and Nvidia will increase profit. - If the chips are knitted by Grandma using metal scouring pads, prices will rise and Nvidia will increase profit.

I suppose it at least beats the smell of burning...

All Threadripper models have always had the same TDP, regardless of core count. I'm pretty sure there is some technical reason for that to be the case, but I can't be bothered to search for it.

Also, egg stains are probably a nightmare to get out of leather.

I'm so glad the (few) games I play nowadays don't require high FPS, and I'm not all that fussy about frames anyway. And it's a good job too, because it looks like my now antique 1660 Super will be tiding me over for a while longer. Even so, I'd like to give the people running these companies a...

I'm really tired of this bizarre obsession you have going on here. Before the current CPU generation, you'd harp on about how the performance between Intel and AMD was competitive, but with a hyper-focus on the efficiency of Intel (for which it was often necessary to spend an inordinate amount...

Opportunistic scalpers deserve to have a close encounter with an opportunistic wood chipper.

... oh no. that's a shocker. say it ain't so.

Already looks kind of grotty from the pictures here, though it is a little hard to tell for sure. On the plus side, when it breaks you can fill it with nuts, hang it in the garden and let the squirrels have at it.

The bookmark I'm using at the moment is a cut off piece of cereal box. My last one, which still had a hint of scent from the contents, was from a Jaffa Cake box (people from the UK will know that smell). I suppose that means I've been reading ineffectively all this time. Good job that reading...

Bleh! Don't go saying things that contain logic, common sense or positive outlooks. Let me just be happy here in my Cynical Old Man Couch, in my Cynical Old Man Corner, just how I like it! 👨‍🦳

I'm sure Nvidia are, at this point, only providing these (rather lackadaisical attempts at) gaming GPUs as an act of tokenism, just so they can still say they are a 'gaming company'. They know there's still an excess of people willing to drag themselves over hot coals in order to acquire them at...
