People buy AMD cards?

When in doubt, DDU it. :ROFLMAO:

https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/isaacsim/latest/features/physics/index.html I was recently at the 2024 Nvidia GTC conference in San Jose and spent some time talking to Nvidia reps about Isaac Sim and Ominverse and it seems the software and...

Retro, man...

I miss the days when PC games were not only sold in stores, but they also included a giant box.

We'll see when it (officially) arrives and can be independently tested.

EDIT: found.

Soooo tempting... But I know a friend who needs a new PC. This would be perfect for him. Bump for looking

Finally, Ken Kutaragi will see his dreams of the Cell future.

I finally bit the bullet and opened one of my GTX 295 cards up for some PM. It's a lot less scary than I thought to do once I found some instructions on disassembly, but still took forever to do - making sure not to rush a single step. The...

You mean the card with SM2 vertex shaders but SM1.3 pixel shaders and with price/performance that basically made it dead-on-arrival? Yes. Also, surround gaming with CRTs and dongles...

It would not at all surprise me if that were the case.

the angle of the dongle is inversely proportional to the heat of the video card! eh.. not sure that applies here ;)

They were very fast for the time.. a single 8800GTX was faster than two 1900xtx’s in crossfire .. and a LOT quieter. ;)

I bet working with Crossfire dongles wasn't fun, either...

That's pretty sick... Always wanted to play around with 8800 GTX cards but never bothered... I should rectify that in the future.

My old rig from that era with dual 8800GTX's (Asus top / eVGA bot).. and the wonderful Abit IN9 32x max (n680sli) motherboard that didn't squeeze the cards right next to each other.. and that crazy zalman cooler. I loved that thing lol!

That's amazing if these numbers are true. It'd definitely push me over the edge to do an upgrade. It certainly doesn't hurt that I already have someone I can sell my existing platform to, as well.

I kinda get it... Unboxing my *used* nVIDIA GPUs from the Titan X Pascal on have been a treat. The RTX 3080 FE I have now definitely has that "premium feel" in your hands. For as much as nVIDIA charged for it, though, it had god damn well...
