Not wrong, but... I'd been expecting AMD, Intel, and nVidia all to eventually start parallel-marketing not-quite-Enterprise GPUs to 'prosumers' and 'power users'. IMO, The (initial) premium was fairly reasonable-seeming, compared w/ previous gen's W7*00 Radeon PRO. IIRC, R9700 has ECC VRAM. So, it's not quite literally a 32GB 9070XT 300W TGP; close tho.

Propylene Glycol and Glycerin have been long-identified as genotoxic and fertility-affecting. Ironically, they're also 'GRAS' (Generally Recognized As Safe) and are ingredients in many medications, foods, drinks, and topical products. As far as pregnancy goes, pretty much any Alkaloid use is a no-go. Nicotine, Caffeine, even (pseudo)ephedrine should probably be avoided. How it gets into the body, becomes somewhat a moot point...

Same. Started a new name, login and passkey for F@H. I was having all sorts of issues w/ the old credentials, last I recall. "LabRatKnatz" is what it'll appear as, in-statistics.

Incredible. This GeForce 5000series is panning out even worse than their FX5000s. TBQH at this point, it's looking like this was a 'holdover' generation, and nVidia does not want to be competing with their own (used) product, come next-gen.

Time will tell how it all 'weighs out' but, for the moment everything going on/in the market is kinda goin' nuts. Intriguing. Added ya. Any notable mods to the XTX? (like, Pio's Nitro+ flashed Pulse.) I'd consider notating clocks, etc. but I've had my GRE and XTX both be stable and clock seemingly by mood, and definitely by-ambients and load type. It'd be a mess... but, I'm open to suggestions.

I'd bet this is real, and a late-ES unit. Alternatively, these were made for a particular OEM/SI.

Just a moment... VIDEOCARDZ.COM Metal slot brace, that by-instruction and design rubs on Fiberglass and Epoxy PCB -probably wasn't the greatest idea, to start with.
