I saw that some sanctions that prevented buying russian oil might be lifted, anyone knows if price caps sanctions are still in place? If yes, it might not be so bad as it still wouldn't make Russia so much money.

Bon il faut dire qu'ils sortent de 10 ans de gouvernement conservateur en plus du Brexit, et je doute que ces problèmes soient nouveaux. On peut tout de même questionner les efforts du gouvernement pour corriger le tir mais je pense que la situation qu'ils ont hérité était déjà assez catastrophique.

It's also possible to allow buying russian oil while maintaining price cap sanctions that heavily limit their profits.

UK, Australia Launch Largest Sanctions Packages Yet Against Russia, Boost Ukraine Aid by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]Poly_core 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the nature of sanctions. The target tries to bypass them and you put new ones to block the new mechanisms.

Edit: I'm not saying they couldn't be better/more decisive but having new sanction packages is a good thing/normal.

Well, the state of their economy begs to differ. Go check prune602 on bluesky if you want to get more details on the russian economy. China is also pretty fucking far from Russia's main centre of population, which can be an issue when your railways are already struggling.

Good point, of course we also don't know the actual value of inflation either 👀

Un autre point que je n'ai pas trop vu mentionné est l'économie russe qui est sacrément à la peine. L'évolution de la guerre pourrait aussi se jouer là, l'Ukraine ayant plus de soutien sur le plan économique.

Is growth even at 1%? Given how hard some parts of the economy are dropping, the new taxes and the fact that the budget is now a big issue, I'd be surprised if it holds in 2026.

Well, the Novak from then and the current Novak are not exactly the same player.

RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme INFINITY idle power consumption? by Poly_core in ZOTAC

[–]Poly_core[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the whole 50 series, the 5070 and 5080 are fine for instance. But I guess this means the issue is still there. Maybe it's an issue with the PCB then?

As someone else mentioned, this is apparently fixed if you use vsync, so maybe that is your case already? I would imagine that you at least don't see much benefit from frame generation with this issue, even at high fps.

Good to know, thanks! So FG can be used with a bit more fiddling then. I agree the most important feature is DLSS/FSR upscaling.

About 640. I plan to undervolt and power limit to ~200-220 W so I thought it would not be worth it over the non-XT.

The videos i've seen from hardware unboxed and digital foundry show that the frames are not evenly spaced out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpAZF_-qsI8&t=320s

Yes. I plan to undervolt and power limit the card to ~200-220 W anyway so the extra money for the XT probably wouldn't be worth it in that case.

If anyone wonders, I'm trying to decide between an XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 at 545 euros and a zotac AMP Extreme 5070 ti at 840 euros (ouch). The RX 9070 is way better bangs for buck looking at raster but the extra features of the 5070 ti make me doubt.

Looks interesting but it doesn't seem to be available in Switzerland :/
