    arnavvr got a reaction from doomsriker in Windows Visa, XP, or 7?   
    If you want to play games from the Late 90s or early 2000s, Windows XP is probably your best bet. You may find driver incompatibility with Sandy Bridge products though.

    You can probably get a ratty automatic one for $5k, but certainly you're not going to get a nice manual one for $5k.

    arnavvr got a reaction from Mark Kaine in Second thoughts about getting RTX 3070 for 1440P   
    I run an RTX 3070 at 5760x1200 (which iirc is more pixels than 1440p) and I've had no issues.
     
    Remember, an RTX 3070 = RTX 2080Ti in performance, and people didn't have problems playing at 1440p on those cards.

    arnavvr got a reaction from Arika in why cant gpus be socketed like cpus   
    But why would you want a GPU to be socketed? Having PCI-E as a unified standard is really great, as even really old computers can install modern graphics cards.

    Where are you getting a 6900XT for the same price as a 3070? I have a 3070, if I can get a 6900XT for it, that would be great...

    Drove the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara last week. Absolutely stunning. The weather was perfect (almost no fog) and traffic wasn't too bad (I went on a Tuesday). One of the few roads where the speed limit was too HIGH (55MPH is pretty fast on a narrow one-lane road) Heresy, I know.
     
    @bcredeur97 You need to come out and do this road... wayyy better than Tail of the Dragon 😜

    The electric one is actually cheaper than the gas one lol because of the tax credits. Seems like a no brainer.

    arnavvr got a reaction from StDragon in 32x SATA port on a single motherboard   
    I think drive speed, CPU speed, and the amount of RAM actually matters.
     
    Most of the high-end builds for Chia mining incorporate a:
     
    5950X
    64GB of RAM
    ~ 100TB of spinning disks
    ~ 2TB NvME storage
     
    If Chia really takes off, you could see Ryzen processors become scarce as well.

    What is this ridiculous argument? I make ~ $400-500 a month mining, certainly not enough to live off of. It's just supplemental income to my main job.
     
    Do you think dividends on stocks should be made illegal as well?

    The sound of this car is just.... amazing. Swapping the only negative, the SMG, also makes the car fantastic. Too bad it's ~ $65,000 now, otherwise I'd wait a couple more years and import one.

    I've always found it strange that someone could hold a patent on a programming language.
     
     
    What do you expect people to do with it? Not build applications on top of your language?

    My thoughts
    This is one of the few pieces of technology that has launched recently that I think it extremely cool. Being able to play a video game just by thinking sounds awesome, and I can't wait until this technology progress further, and you can do even cooler things with it.

    Even if the price of Ethereum keeps going up, I think that the miners getting into the game now have a steep hill to climb, as returns will eventually slow down as the difficulty continues to rise.
     
    So no, a $2000 3080 will most likely not ROI.
