I spent 96 bitcoins back in the day on cigs and the power bill. Times were different back then.......

Part of my New Year New Games challenge to myself, EctorPlays and I both ended up with copies of this new game, Motor Town. So of course we had to start exploring what all this town has to offer! Jumping Right In & Stacking Cash: Join EctorPlays, myself, and later on our friend Phroogo as we embarque on our first ever Motor Town adventure. We get a few jobs done and of course some chaos happens along the way. You won't want to miss this. Also a HUGE HUGE HUGE SHOUTOUT to EctorPlays and SimplyKassidy. Not sure why, but we spent THEIR anniversary recording this video because Ector was stuck at work doing overtime. I just want to say HAPPY (belated) ANNIVERSARY you two, and I wish you many many more to come! Much love! May the knowledge that this video wouldn't exist without your belief in me be my gift to you guys this year. I worked extra hard on this edit. I'm so SMRT! 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/@simplykassidy Watch EctorPlays: https://www.youtube.com/@EctorPlays Watch Phroogo: https://www.youtube.com/@phroogo...

Well yeah, but its a modular 80+ Gold 750w. I can get a nice Cooler Master unit for $80 that's equally as good or arguably better since Cooler Master OEM's their own stuff, unlike Corsair. The Corsair unit is a good unit, don't get me wrong. I'm just upset that it was a forced buy just to get a card, and it was overpriced. The card was overpriced. But alas.....newegg "combo deals". -_-

Same here, but I blame Newegg and their "combo deals" moreso than AMD. There were MSRP cards available at launch, I just missed out on that 5 minute window. I didn't really want a $120 PSU. I needed a PSU, but I was eyeballing an $80 unit. -_-

My 10 year old has a Ryzen 2600x and Vega 64 playing at now 1440p / 165Hz. Honestly, the games kids his age seem to play, my kiddo probably would've been fine on something like a 3770k + RX 580 8GB (or GTX 1060 6GB). Yes, you can absolutely put something together cheap. Look for an older i7 with any board it'll run in, or go for some used Ryzen kit. Whatever GPU you can find, even something like a RX 480 or a GTX 1050Ti (or higher) is probably fine for graphics.

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/103670/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-with-upgraded-96gb-vram-teased-could-release-soon-for-ai-workloads/index.html Apparently the 48GB variants are confirmed and already on sale in China per the article, and the 96GB cards are in testing. I wonder if we can get any imports of these cards like other Chinese custom cards? Kind of neat how they're doing these, apparently a few other people have done these mods as well in other areas.

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/103724/amd-rumored-to-be-cooking-ultimate-navi-48-gpu-perf-between-rtx-5070-ti-and-5080/index.html Wonder if this has anything to do with the 32GB VRAM rumors we were hearing a few weeks ago. I'm happy to wait for a 9070 XTX.

I tend to turn on FSR or similar features instead of dropping graphics settings. I do it for a good reason though, most of my gameplay I'm recording these days. So it doesn't matter if I lose a little fidelity with the resolution, youtube compression will ruin it anyway.

If I have time to, I have a stock 3200+ I can run. I don't think we currently have a hwbot team anymore though. They all left when the site was about to get shut down.

I voted in your poll, but I don't use a Steam Deck, nor would I likely ever use one. HOWEVER, I bought one for my child. So here's my position. From my perspective, my child absolutely LOVES his Steam Deck. He takes it everywhere he can because its got all of his favorite games on it. That's all he uses it for, and that's all I bought it for him for. So for HIS use case, its strictly for gaming (which is what I voted in the poll). ME PERSONALLY - I can't stand portable computing at all in general. Give me a proper monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a chair and I'll go to town. Laptop or "steam deck"? No thanks, I'll sit and scroll youtube on my phone before I'll use either of those 9/10 times.

12VHPWR adapters sporting heatsinks and thermal pads show how problematic the connector is | Tom's Hardware WWW.TOMSHARDWARE.COM Going the extra mile to ensure the adapter doesn't melt. All I can do is laugh at this point and I hate it. -_- -

Part of my New Year New Games challenge to myself, EctorPlays and Ord's Sim Channel invited me to play Star Citizen with them. So, I went ahead and picked up a copy and gave it a try. Well, you'll see what happens. -_- EP 03 - Third Time's the Charm - W in Chat! We tried to do an episode on Bunker Busting previously and had some issues with "sharing" the missions, and ended up wasting an entire stream trying to play instead of just playing. So today, enjoy our THIRD attempt at playing Star Citizen together! They do say third time's the charm. Join us while we do some more mining, special guest star in the chat, and yet ANOTHER special guest at the end of the episode. You don't want to miss this one!

I did another video with EctorPlays. Had some fun again.

That does APPEAR to be the case, for both 4090's and 5090's. This is a pretty thorough video explaining it too.

AMD could be developing a 32GB RDNA 4 GPU: possible RTX 5090 rival or enterprise only? WWW.TECHSPOT.COM Update: The leaker now claims the card will be the RX 9070 XT 32GB, priced much higher than the standard version, and will launch at the... Interesting. As usual, seems like competition might be growing, but this time its looking like the 5070 and 9070 might be the cards people are fighting over this round. We'll see.
-
To be honest, I'm just putting this news article out as a PSA. I want to see some 4090's end up living so I can score one used for $100 5 years from now.

Here's what's happened to the 12VHPWR power cable of our NVIDIA RTX 4090 after two years of continuous work WWW.DSOGAMING.COM So, what has happened to the 12VHPWR power cable of our RTX 4090 after two years? Has it melted? Let's find out. These guys are reporting that their cables are in fact melted after 2 years of use in the 4090, but they work just fine. Seems to be the same reporting as we're hearing about those power cables only having one path of power for the card (one shunt). 4090 owners probably should check up on their cables if they haven't for a while.

They're all welcome here, 100%.
