I haven't opened it yet. Still debating if I want to at least get the 2 year ($200) protection plan. Normally it's not something I'd do but the melting connectors have me a bity wary especially on an item that costs so much. The MSI warranty is 3 years but I don't know if they cover that sort of dam...

Two days and not a word from the seller. It's not looking good so far!

Update: Order shipped. Will see on Wednesday what I actually get.

I ended up getting the MSI GAMING TRIO OC GeForce RTX 5090. What's up with all the caps in product names. Anyway... It has decent reviews, at least the ones I've seen, and seems about in the middle of the pack. I wish it had more RGB though as it looks a bit plain. That makes me sad that EVGA is no ...

Well actually... Vince Gilligan (not Vince Gillian) didn't 'make' X-Files. That was Chris Carter. VG was an executive producer.

However, that reminds me, I never did finish the last 2-3 seasons of Better Call Saul. I'll get around to it someday.

Yet another Republican learned that Trump only cares about Trump. Funny how they are all "That will never be me". Until it is.

But Trump got that looney MTG to resign so that's a plus. Hopefully it will be a Democrat that replaces her.

It turns out the RAM that Mirocenter had wasn't the same speed (6400) as what I currently have (6800) and I didn't feel like mixing speeds especially with one being slower. It also went up $50 more dollars to $550. I was able to find the same RAM I have for $479 however.... it was from a Wal-Mart se...

Seems the Zotac card is the only $2400 one they have left. Unfortunately it doesn't have the greatest reviews so I'll have to think on that.

Aslanna

That's the thing.. And it could be a bad thing or a good thing based on your perspective.. But Republicans, for the most part, all stick together and can't believe or publicly admit other Republicans could do anything illegal or immoral so would never call them out. Democrats on the other hand usual...

Due to AI (thanks!), DRAM prices have spiked 50% and there are shortages on the horizon so if you were planning on upgrading your RAM I'd do it sooner rather than later. The 96GB I paid $300 for is now $390. It's $500 now. Bonkers. As shortages and high prices are forecast to potentially last years...

Aslanna

I am seriously considering getting a 5090 as Microcenter seems to have 3 different cards for $2400-$2500. Still $400 more than I want to pay but with the memory prices I imagine the 'standard' 5090s will be going back up. And the Supers, if they even come out now, are 9 months away. And no telling h...

Trump Implements Major Rollback of Food Tariffs Rolling back idiotic changes.. A sure sign of something working great! Sadly it's just food-related tariffs. Regardless, evidence that, despite whatever millionaire Bill Maher says, it was impacting the average citizen and the polls have been reflecti...

Just when GPUs were getting back to MSRP they will now be going the other way due to the memory prices. Also rumor is the upcoming 50xx 'Super' cards will either be delayed to Q3 2026 or cancelled altogether for the same reason. So that's cool.

The everyday consumer can't catch a break these days.

The more people on welfare the better for Democrats. lazy poor people vote Democrat. Working poor people in non city areas vote Republican as evidenced by the pure red map on election night with the couple blue dots in the mega cities where the lazy dumb-asses live. Democrats are a disgrace. AOC? S...

Gerrymandering shouldn't be a thing from any party. If you can't win fairly then you don't deserve to win. Republicans have the main ones crutching on this because they can't win on policy.

I like how that's the one thing you focus on rather than the destruction of the East Wing. The asshole said the existing structure wouldn't be touched and of course he lied just like he lies about everything else. Yet his cheerleaders have no problem with that. Yeah, 7+ million people going out to s...

I had a Commodore 300bps (didn't really use), 2400bps (not sure on brand), upgraded to a USRobotics HST Dual Standard (14.4/9600.. way too much money), then an AT&T Paradyne 28.8 (free!) then finally a USRobotics 56.6. So I skipped 1200 and 33.6 but otherwise hit most of the speeds. For modem ap...

Hmm.. It's been a busy week in this new "Golden Age". 7+ million people protesting and Trump posts AI videos of him (wearing a crown) dropping shit on US citizens. I guess they got tired of trying to convince rational people that it would be made up of terrorists, Hamas supporters, and Ame...

I did get the ROM 03 IIGS unit and put everything together and was happy the monitor seems to be in good shape. Nice and bright and no discernable burn-in. It is a bit wonky in the image centering but I suppose it's good enough. The rest of the system is functional and it passes the self-diagnostics...

I know most of you are morons and see anything associated with Elon Musk and immediately start raging like a toddler because you only see the world in black and white. Or maybe we just think he's a tool and want nothing to do with him or his supposedly free speech (lolz) platform. He surely doesn't...

I am surprised this thread is still here considering the board likes to eat them. I kinda think Bill has the edge over Trump for motive on this one! Trump seems more interested in money, deals and having a trophy wife. Yeah that didn't age so well. Trump, and Republicans, ran on the promise that the...

To be fair to the Apple II computers they were more open and expandable than something like a Commodore what with the 7 expansion slots and all. They were also more expensive so that's why I never had one. And I thought the C64 was better for games 'out of the box' considering the sound capabilities...

Another area I have minimal nostalgia for is Apple ][ computers. We did have them at school, and I used one doing data entry on a summer job (two summers, actually), but other than that no real interest as I had a C64... A computer for the masses not the classes! Anyway... Recently a bunch of Apple ...

Bill Maher admits he was wrong about Trump on tariffs, doesn’t ‘see a country in a depression at all Wow.. Bill Maher. A millionaire who doesn't have to worry about anything. Also it's still too early to celebrate. A lot of places stocked up on inventory before the tariffs took place. Check back in...

Steven Colbert had his show cancelled. Supposedly due to low ratings. Not long after CBS gave Trump a whole bunch of money. Nothing strange there. Jimmy Kimmel is now being silenced. I wouldn't be surprised if John Oliver was next. Jimmy Fallon is probably safe. But his show sucks anyway. No coincid...

5080s can now be found for MSRP. But I'd have to imagine with the 5080 Super on the way nobody is really buying them. Both the 5070 Ti Super and the 5080 Super with have 24 GB. Rumor is MSRP will be $1k for the 5080 Super so that could be a decent upgrade from my 3080 Ti if you'll actually be able t...

The comment you made, and what I was responding to, was about the artist ("Sony probably didn't pay for a good artist!") and not the art. I wasn't commenting on that specific piece of art since art appreciation, as you state, is subjective. You may like it.. You may hate it.. But that does...

Note: I didn't directly use the first image. I could have kept her pose and clothes more accurate. Her side stance actually looks kinda strange to me. Sony probably didn't pay for a good artist! You could have spent 5 seconds to check because now you look like a dumbo. It was done by Keith Parkinso...

I have the same phone. Under Settings, Apps and Photos, you can decide if you want Apple’s AI to learn from your photos. You can also turn off AI altogether like i did. I never turned on the AI thing so I am safe there! If you ever decide to use Face ID, it’s a good idea to turn it off during a pro...

I logged in a week or two ago. It took me so long just to figure out how to launch it since it's not eq.exe any longer. I knew the launcher had replaced it but I wasn't sure where that was. And for some reason I was in Icefell which I don't know why. I think maybe because I logged out in the guild h...

Maybe there was one and it got nuked? I can't remember. But there are a lot of threads here that have disappeared. I wonder if there's some weird backup glitch. It is quite odd. I was looking for the Anthem thread.. Gone. Then the one for Dragon's Age Inquisition. Gone. That is just two examples off...

Seems a bit boring to me. Fighting the same bosses you've already fought while artificially being made to rush through the environment.

Speaking of souls-likes. The genre really needs to go the fuck away for awhile. So many of these things as well as elements of them infecting other 'normal' games.

They are probably cheaper in Europe due to not having stupid tariffs.

The Microcenter here has 150 various 5090s but yeah they're still all $3k. No thanks.

Aslanna

I have no desire to purchase either one at those prices. There's no way in hell I'd spend $3k on a graphics card. And since I'm also never paying more than $2k either (other than maybe a 5090 at MSRP) I guess I'm stuck with my 3080 Ti forever. And that's only 12GB so the 16GB on the 5080 would actua...

I received an email from Micro Center today. They have the Asus 5080 in stock for $1800 which is $800 more than MSRP. They also have the Gigabyte 5090 for $2920. $920 more than MSRP. The GPU situation these days is truly dire. Especially with companies still releasing 8GB cards. Overpriced due to de...

Rather than mirroring my OS drive at this time I figured it would be better to get a 4GB NVMe SSD (990 Evo Plus not the normal 990 EVO, those are bad) and replace the 4TB WD Blue HDD I use for emulation stuffs. That will eliminate all my mechanical HDDs other than the 18TB HDD I have for my data. Th...

The 4090 didn't get a Super or a TI so I doubt the 5090 will. The 4060 had a Ti, the 4070 had a Super, Ti, and Ti Super and the 4080 got a Super. When the 4080 got a Super the memory amount stayed the same so I think the same with happen with any 5080 revision. Well I am right so far about no 5090 ...

Quit crying over expensive products. You might not be aware that instead of paying the import taxes those companies will just stop bringing in those products to the US and those products will instead end up going to other locations.

I decided since my MB has 7 NVMe slots that I'll use two of them to mirror my OS drive via RAID 1. I can't say I've ever done that before so will see how it goes! I used the $50 gift card from the power supply so the 1TB 990 Pro only set me back ~$55. Cheap! I've never had an SSD fail before but it'...

Apple seems to support the iPhone for longer than Android. While I didn't have the latest OS on my nearly 10 year old 6S (I think it was 15.28 or something) it was still getting security updates.

Trump just got his 10% tariffs and fucked China in the process. If you think China is the one that got fucked here you're delusional. They are just going to make deals with other countries. The same goes for all those other countries like Vietnam. I don't think China is going to cave on this so enj...

Cancelled after Season 4.

From what I can tell it ended on a season finale however they are editing that episode in some fashion to turn it into a series finale so at least you get a conclusion to the series and are not left hanging. I haven't yet bothered to watched Season 4 yet.

I know you're eager to be a Trump cheerleader but don't get too excited.

In my haste to order stuff I didn't really notice what RGB the Hyper Vision cooler had. I thought the fans would be the usual light up variety but it's only a thin border around the side of the fans. They are fairly quiet though so no complaints there. Also the LCD wasn't as interesting as I thought...
