If this can improve my Stable Diffusion renders without me having to buy an entirely new videocard (and the cost is reasonable) i'm absolutely for this. I doubt that'll happen though.

https://serverpartdeals.com/ is where i've gotten my last few. They have sales every now and then but even the base prices are pretty damn good.

Yeah, used enterprise drive I think are my new go too. Just a bit easier, a little cheaper, and while I won't know exactly how long they've been used for, the quality of the drives themselves will likely make up for that.

I'm finally having shucked drives die on me... 7 years and well over 100TB worth of writes later. I need more hard drives.

Your 16gb ram might be the bottleneck.

My M2. slot immediately under the GPU does get hotter than my other M.2 slots, but it still maxes out around 60c, which is...whatever. Honestly it doesn't make a big enough difference to matter. It's a 4TB SN850X and I utilize it heavily, but other things interfere with the data rate when I'm...

Head over to the SNBforums Merlin forums and install entware and amtm on that thing to really see what it can do*. Having a DNS server / Adblocker / VPN etc. built directly into your router is awesome. Yes, yes I know that PFsense boxes can do all that - and more - but PFsense boxes also don't...

I need the VRAM so i'll likely bite if they're even a modest performance upgrade from my 3080 12GB but happen to offer 18 or 24GB VRAM. Otherwise I'm holding out for the 5000 series. For me the driving point of the upgrade isn't for gaming (Though that will be nice), it's AI LLMs.

Due to Black Friday I finally hit my computers final form. I have 128GB of DDR3600 in my machine instead of 64GB of mixed, really old and slow DDR3200. I managed to spend $124 on dual 64GB DDR3200 LP kits that hit DDR3600 easily. Did I need the space? Not really. I'm now using about 60GB as...

Ports are cheap. just grab a 16 or 24 port unit and call it good for long time. Especially if you only care about 1GB. I have 52 ports even though i'm only using about 1/3 of them.

I use ComfyUI personally. https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI I kept adding new nodes and add-ons and my workflow is a little complex these days. I'd started with a simpler gui.

If you're using Stable Diffusion go take a look at www.civitai.com models and you can make anything you could possibly imagine and probably a bunch of stuff you can't or don't want to imagine.

Look, I presented you with unedited, unmodified, pictures of game prices from magazines when they were new. Your memory is the one in the wrong.

What? Yes they did. here are some actual advertisements of NES, SNES and N64 games.

The only reason a lot of those games have higher numbers than Counterstrike is because they aren't PC exclusive. They're available on on every platform Including mobile. Also Microsoft didn't put games on steam because they think they're gonna buy valve. They put the games on steam for the...
