It's been a while, but from what I remember almost everyone has the cause for it, but you need the right circumstances for it to break out.

Hah! Had that when I was 14, I win by 26 years \o/ Well, it was 20 years ago that I was 14, but I still win /flex In all seriousness though, sorry to hear that

I can wholeheartedly sympathize! I love Sairento and Beat Saber I need to get my thumb out of my arse and get to the computerstore and buy a new tracking station and RMA the broken one I have. It's kind of hard to pull the thumb out of my arse when I need to drive 110km to get there, and also pay a fine for the priviledge of driving on the ****ty roads...

Forgot my wallet and cigarettes at home, came to work my workphone has reinstalled whatsapp, all the workchats are gone... It's one of those mondays ._.

They're pretty big, yeah, about a metre long if I remember correctly.

I'll agree to that, even though some of the things in that game are quite horribly buggy it feels fresh and interesting. And I do love the dialogue stance system they had, it's pretty damn cool. And the reactivity... Mmmm...

Yeah, but AMD was really mean to Intel, the slides, the pricing gimmick, it brought me many lulz. Intel did present comparisons between an AMD gaming laptop with a 2060 and an Intel one with a 2080.. Sure, the fine print states it so, but it's definetly enough to go past most users. Taken from https://www.anandtech.com/show/15344/amd-at-ces-2020-qa-with-dr-lisa-su

****... I have a m2 that's just been lying here since summer. I truly can't arse myself to install it, even though the gains would be massive. I will say this, but the Corsair 900d was not built for easy access to the screws that holds the expansion cards to the chassis, I need an L shaped special screwdriver to unscrew it, and it takes fricking ages! It took me 30 minutes to tighten down the Vega when I installed it. Oh, how I lol'd.

Spent age 19 to 30 basically unemployed, I've had enough of that

F That really sucks. :´(

That sucks, Though normally you have to take atleast 20 days, if you haven't then you get sent on a few vacation days whenever they feel like it, if they don't - they get fined. Alot.

Played some pnp yesterday for the first time in ages, in a campaign that's been going on since before summer. Then realisation struck me as I started bantering back and forth with the bard player again to stop him from singing my praises left and right... And one of the more talented players started singing "Toss a coin to your witcher" xD

Granted my boss still hasn't ok'd it, but the first year I worked I couldn't take any vacation time, second year I only managed to get two weeks off, then got put on sick-leave for 6 months, a few months after that I got injured again, and again, and again and on and off, and now I sit here with 25 saved vacation days, and 25 new coming in february. And now I actually have a reason to take a vacation!

I can sympathize with that, even though I honestly did have alot of fun with Clear Sky. I kind of liked the thought behind the faction war systems and such even though the execution was frustrating. I ought to get some time in Misery mod before Cyberpunk arrives though. I've got high enough hopes for that game that I've applied for 50 days of vacation.

I wouldn't have been dissapointed if it wasn't for the fact that I could, in theory if any were available, have gotten a 2070/2080. Since you've got a vega 64 aswell, noticed any oddities with the latest software & drivers? Mine randombly, now and then, though not under load, blacking out. Seems the programs keep running in the background, no keyboard response, no display. That is true, and could explain how the PS5 is going to run 2.0ghz on it's cores, it'd be promising, but I'm cautious about having too much optimism. Kind of got overhyped on Vega.

Their current architectures does seem quite so, yes. Who knows, there might be some magic they can chant over the drivers and find something that increases performance some 30%, and then I'd actually be impressed with it, but as I said before their powerefficiency of RDNA is horrible really, that's likely why they make them so small. If they build any mammoths, like the leak about their next navi suggests, it's going to be 300+++ watts We can hope, HBM would also help solve the power problem a bit. People are fantasizing about them using a 512bit bus, but as buildzoid said... powerdraw would be immense Yeah, one can hardly call nVidia good value, but what can you do about a giant that noone can come close to? Especially when people are actually willing to pay those insane prices? It's not going to be better if AMD gets back on the absolute throne either, people will just use that as an excuse to buy nVidia on "the cheap". History has shown it before, people don't want to buy AMD they just want cheaper nVidia stuff. I do hope that their next offering does become good enough to be a valuable proposition next to nVidia, if they can manage to get close enough to nVidias offerings so that I don't feel stupid for buying AMD I might upgrade my AMD card, but if they can't bring out something good enough I'm going to have to get a nVidia card for the first time since the TNT2

What are you going on about? NAVI does worse compartively the higher the resolution compared to other offerings, they're memory-bandwidth starved.

And now I'm imagining Trump doing his decisions with a blank map... I'm going to sleep very well tonight

He started a new topic. Again.

It is because I've waited ten years for a real successor that I don't want to wait one more.

Dear god, STALKER 2 on epic store would be my worst nightmare.

Naw, just roll with it

There were 4 directors in total from what wikipedia tells me, so no wonder.

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-ampere-purportedly-50-faster-than-turing-at-half-the-power-consumption According to that they're using TSMC mainly. Just ignore the unbelievable performance rumor bull. Sure, Jensen might have burned bridges, but TSMC is a company, they'll use that against nVidia and probably sell them less for more money, something that nVidia can afford considering their massive earnings. They've been selling everything at a premium and people are willing to pay it, so I don't think that'll be a problem, they just might not make quite the profit on the 3xxx series as they have on the earlier ones. Oh, I do love the fact that my Vega 64 matches the theoretical performance of say a 2080ti, but that 2080ti is 60% faster in rasterization performance. I mean, I'm lost for words! xD I honestly don't think they have much of a chance there unless they can pull some magical shenanigans with their console-dominance and have game-devs implement some form of programming that essentially doesn't work on nVidias offerings, but that is not AMD's style. nVidias too ingrained in peoples minds, it's been the same **** since what, the beginnings of the HD series when AMD was massively dominant in every way, and people kept buying nVidias ****. I mean, we have above us here that is part of the problem.. That said, from what I've read MCM videocards aren't going to be a thing really, programmers don't want to deal with it since they have to program for what is essentially crossfire/sli to get MCM GPUs to work properly.
