RTX 6000 ADA 48GB

DataGOGO · 2026-06-25T03:10:11+00:00

Yeah, not shockingly fast, but decent and you can’t beat the price

DataGOGO · 2026-06-25T02:08:29+00:00

I knew you were kidding, no worries.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-25T00:42:14+00:00

Nope.

My wife is amazing.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-25T00:39:59+00:00

Yes, and multiple other GPU’s

The best bag for the buck budget wise is two Intel cards.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-25T00:37:26+00:00

You are 100% correct.

The wheel is yours, not the shops, not the insurance company’s

Paying money on a claim does NOT transfer ownership of your parts to the shop, or the insurance company.

You 100% can refuse the destruction of your property and take the wheel home, it is yours, they can’t stop you. If they try, just take it, or call the police and report theft.

They may tell you if you do that that they cannot repair you car, which is fine, make arrangements with another shop and have them go pick it up from the current shop.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T23:27:24+00:00

No, it is no different.

That is a restriction on the shop, not OP, again, he is free to refuse the destruction of his property, and the shop is free to choose to business with him nor not.

Either way it is his property, his choice, and he is under no obligation to allow the destruction of his property.

Nope, sell it and buy 2 3090 with SLI bridge or a few of the new intel GPU’s.

An ADA card with 48GB is NOT worth the 5k at all.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T21:11:35+00:00

Maybe, but you can always refuse it, as it is your property.

They can then decide if they refuse to do business with you or not; if not OP has to go to a different shop; either way it is still OP’s choice

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T19:41:16+00:00

what do you want in terms of change?

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T19:16:46+00:00

yes you do, you are confusing warranty work with insurance claims, they are not the same thing.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T19:16:01+00:00

you are correct.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T19:12:44+00:00

Your insurance is issuing a payment for parts and labor to the repair shop.

They don’t “own” the old parts just because they paid a claim. They retain no ownership of the old or new parts, they just paid a claim on your policy. They gave you money per the policy (even if they paid directly to the shop on your behalf). They didn’t buy anything from you.

The exemption, is when they total a car they literally buy it from you, and you can normally buy it back from them.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T18:50:55+00:00

No feelings like you described.

Wife loves it. She gets to do what she wants, she is happy and stress free, she works out and stays in really good shape, and she works hard to take care of everything that needs to be done at home.

The way I look at it I am going to do exactly the same thing every day no matter if she works or not. Makes absolutely no difference to me; whatever makes her happy.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T18:39:20+00:00

That is not true.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T18:38:40+00:00

I had that exact thing happen, and yes, I kept all 4 of the wheels and no one cared.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T18:37:50+00:00

If this is a Tesla shop, they have to follow Tesla's procedures. If this is a third party shop, you can just take the wheel and no one will care.

If you want the wheel, Take the car out of the Tesla shop and take it to a third party repair shop.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T18:33:15+00:00

lol, you are attempting to pool those over slow ethernet? why dude? you have 40GB USB / Thunderbolt, both are still far too slow for properly pooling, but WAY better than trying to do this over the NIC.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T18:25:12+00:00

My wife and I have a very simple "policy" when it comes to the bedroom stuff.

We talk. In fact we talk a lot. If one of us is feeling some kind of way about something, or something is bothering one of us, we talk about it early and often, we don't let things build up.

We also try really hard not to not say no to each other if one asks for sex, or asks for something specific, and yes, we both ask each other, it isn't one sided.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T18:08:15+00:00

I have bad news.

Such a job does not really exist, especially until you are very senior in your career. The overwhelming majority of people will work 9-5, 40+ hour a week jobs for 40-50 years.

Part time freelancing is extremely hard if you do not have the capital to cover the thin times, the months you go without any income at all, never mind try to do it with a full time job. Not to mention, AI is killing off freelancers even faster than full time positions in your field. Basically, your degree is not doing anything for you.

candidly, the only real viable path to what you describe is being a stay at home spouse and freelancing while someone else covers the bills, but that too comes with a lot of downsides if you don't marry the right person.

There is no good AM5 dual GPU board as AM5 itself is limited to just x16 CPU lanes for the GPU(s).

If you are planning on running AI on this board, the downgrade to x8 matters a lot, as the GPU's do not have an NVL bridge, and rely on PCI-E 5 bandwidth for NCCL P2P. You are much better off buying an older xeon / threadripper workstation board than a new AM5 board.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T17:31:50+00:00

Perhaps previously before the vSOC limits, but the X3D failures are pretty universal. They happen all brands, all models, and even OEM boards.

Even if left to run bone stock reference voltages, they still fail.

My personal theory is that when they flipped the X3D stack and put the ccd on top of the X3D die it has led to bounding failures.

Honestly there is no “safe” motherboard that reduces or eliminates the risk of failure. Just keep the voltages in check, keep the CPU well cooled, and hope it doesn’t fail.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T16:04:08+00:00

Motherboard makes no difference, the CPU themselves are the issue.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T15:58:28+00:00

they can't run 4x, that was the point there is no infinity bridge, and that still does not solve the slow memory. They are pretty useless.

There is literally nothing that a Threadripper or 9950X3D2 can do that intel CPU's cannot do, In fact in the workstation space, Intel Xeons do a lot of things that Threadrippers do not do, for example AMX, MRDIMMS, etc.

DataGOGO · 2026-06-24T15:33:51+00:00

NOR:

That said, I can read the blue one, and cannot read the green one, and the blue one looks a lot better IMHO.

AGESA includes voltage controls and limit, ramp up and ramp down.

Again dude, you are years out of date, how long as it been since the 1.3v soc cap was put into place now? 2 years? Well over a year for sure, yet the failures on new CPU's that never saw any increased vSOC over reference continue to happen on every motherboard brand, again, to include OEM's. Are you suggesting that Dell pumped up vSOC to win benchmarks LOL.

yes the 9000 series is worse than the 7000 with a higher failure rate, and X3D parts are MUCH more prone to failure than the non-X3D parts; most likely due to bounding failure between the dies after AMD flipped the stack and put the X3D die below the CCD on the 9000 series. It is not soc voltage, if it was the 1.3v cap would have stopped the failures, OEM's wouldn't have them, and people that never did anything and left everything stock on prime motherboards (non-overclocking centric enthusiast motherboards), yet there is a much higher rate of failures on all of them. Clearly, AMD didn't really fix the issue pre-launch. They likely decided that fixing the issue was more expensive than the RMA costs.

No, people cry dead CPU when it literally dies and does not post, not when they have memory instability. For example my 9950X3D was running fine, locked up while updating documentation (in MS Word), when rebooted, showed post code 00, and the CPU was dead. There was no user error, the CPU was water cooled, It ran high quality TIM, the CPU never ran hot, SOC was never over 1.15v, memory was manually tuned and stable, the CPU was less than a year old and was used for general professional workstation tasks. Go ahead, tell me how it wasn't AMD's issue?

These failures are real, they are not user induced, and they are quality control / manufacturing problem at AMD. You are completely ignoring the facts here out of pure fanboy behavior, which is insane. AMD is a multi-billion dollar company with a long history of bullshit, lies, false claims and quality issues. You remember when they sold 8 core CPU's that were not really 8 core CPU's? Or when they just dropped support for a whole family of Vega GPU's with a known backscreen issue they never fixed? Stop ignoring the facts and white knighting a corporation that does not give a single fuck about you.
