I agree. GPUs more than ever have had staying power where you didn't need to upgrade.

Looks like a 24GB card then relying on increase bandwidth from the GDDR7 over G6X and the L2. If these end up being true.

Pfft. Last 512-bit consumer GeForce product was in the 200-series in 2008. Sure there was a Titan with HBM, I'm not counting that. I just don't buy it. I still don't think this is going to be MCM yet at all. For one, wouldn't you then be able to use a smaller die with multiple chiplets? None of...

Dumb rumor. Full AD102 is almost double the size of AD103 in terms of CUDA core count. Not quite, but pretty close. But likewise has the 384-bit vs the 256-bit. I don't see anything here to suggest that 2x GB203 somehow is now a GB202. Those are two different chips and we should absolutely just...

4070 Ti super was kinda disappointing imo. It got the increased bus and capacity, but didn't really get to being a budget 4080. It was still cut down on L2 cache closer to the 4070 Ti.

While I definitely don't disagree, that pricing won't make any sense. Not saying most of 40-series pricing made sense either but they did end up having to do a Super series to somewhat course correct in some segments, most notably the 4070 Super and 4080 Super. If it really and truly fully...

Agreed. I have no complaints of the many years of service I had from 8.1 Pro on my 4790k rig.

People sure leave out details when they say "use a silver kill coil". Silver should not be used in any loops containing nickel plated blocks, but yes would work absolutely fine if just bare copper blocks. No I wouldn't say money has been wasted for additives. A bottle of Inhibitor+ and Hades+...

Yeah the performance gained per dollar spent really isn't there for custom loop anymore. But there certainly are other reasons. Some like puting together custom loops like any other hobby where the money spent is probably not returned in any other way than enjoyment of doing it, and done...

Correct. Corsair is going the route of rebranding a lot of stuff - i.e. slapping a sailboat logo on and marking it up on their radiators which are just Hardware Labs L-series. Corsair's fittings OEM is Bitspower, which actually does work out because sometimes they are cheaper than actual...

EK continues to masquerade as some high end (with high prices) watercooling company and people keep gobbling it up. Meanwhile they have some of the worst quality control and general quality I've seen whether it's their plating, quality of materials, screw torque, etc. I've yet to have a single...

Sure I guess if you want to throw in real Titans as GeForce gaming cards. I really am just speaking on the GeForce stack sans Titans though. Add Titans because they occupy this bizarro slot between gaming card and prosumer card, sure. But really Titans were absolutely different every single gen...

Same. Its on a desk and definitely produces much less heat than my previous 2019 Intel i9 model did.

I can literally work all day on my M1 Pro MBP on battery and not even think about having to look and see what my battery is at.

Yep I work all day long often on my work M1 Pro MBP 16" battery. On the other hand, my old Intel i9 based 2019 MBP 16" would die in an hour.
