Eh...its been mainstream since its last bear market in 2018 - early-mid 2020.

Repeated cycle again and again with Crypto, agreed. This year was fun, had to do my capital gains on my taxes for the crypto I sold last year. Luckily had held it since early 2017 (before it went up), so wasn't too bad.

Sounds like a Dell move. Shocking to be using such a card in 2012 in new machines.

Guess that's true.

Wonder why 16nm.

5770's were fine as a $150 card in 2009....They were better than the more expensive GTX 260 (the original 192 core one) and performance roughly matched up to the 4870 of the previous gen. This was years before a GT 730 and GTX 970 existed...Weird comparison. I had mine in 2009 and it was a great $150 card at that time.

Very nice. May not be a flagship, but I have an EVGA GTX 570 HD if you want it.

Love it. Wish I still had my old ATi cards. 7500, 9700 Pro, x1650 Pro. Still have my 5770's.

100% agree. Nvidia's track record makes me think they'll fight that though. Guess we'll see. AMD is already competitive in the rasterization performance, now functionally on par with DLSS from a feature standpoint, really if they get the ray tracing performance up with RDNA3, I think AMD is shaking up the market like we haven't seen since the 4870. Edit: Really what will remain to be seen at that point is how MSRP and pricing works in the future. RDNA2 and Ampere never really competed on that front realistically.

Yeah the fact its hardware agnostic and open source is a huge deal. I think its really going to depend on if Nvidia somehow strangleholds devs on what they implement in their games - DLSS exclusivity deals, etc.

Kinda puts Nvidia on notice. Do you really need the AI/Tensor to do this? Apparently not. Will be very interested to see how this gets adopted going forward.

FSR 2.0 looking great from what I've seen of the reviews so far. Temporal like DLSS, vs just straight image upscaling/sharpening of FSR 1.0. Also like that it is open source.

I remember those drivers back then, killed a lot of cards.

Twitter just seems like the place people have diarrhea of the mouth thoughts that used to just be kept to one's self. Not saying that's right or wrong, just saying I don't see that changing at all.

Through Twitter? I don't use Twitter and have never used Twitter.

I don't care. Twitter has always been a cesspool and will continue to be. What really changes here?

How much did one of these run, and what is the ideal temp for acrylic? Been using the low setting on the cheap heat gun I got at Harbor Freight.

Hopefully just a one off anomaly, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Very nice! Edit: This is weird, I was on @J7SC_Orion project Raven thread when I replied and it went here. @ENTERPRISE. This is on Chrome on my Android phone.

Very interested to see how this goes!

What the actual hell.

I would argue in the case of censoring that political decisions are often made in order to run a story or not because it might "put our side in a bad light", or that by overly sensationizing a headline for any given story a certain way (depending on who's running it), combined with how hyper-polarized both sides tend to be, it's rare to just be given facts to make an informed decision on vs "hey other side bad". All these media corps have agendas and in having said agendas, it influences how they communicate out information (or don't). YouTube is functionally the same thing as differing sides create echo chambers for their own bases and get all the subscribers and publicity. But even the corps that control platforms like youtube have clear political biases and agendas as well. It might not be outright "censorship" in the strictest definition you are using in terms of the law, but it's definitely something that majorly influences how the majority of people receive information, especially when you think lowest common denominator.

I guess my thought is that the limiter only hurt the gamer who mined overnight or on the side to buy some games or what have you. These big operations continued to buy cards by the pallet load directly and they still get an ROI. Limiter didn't hurt them at all. Cracked or uncracked. Didn't matter.
