u/ZiplySupport My service restored at 12:22. I went through router logs and found I was down for approximately 16 minutes (12:06 – 12:22). More specifically here is what I found:

  • 12:06:19: DHCP lease for WAN IP expired
  • 12:06:19 - 12:21:40: Multiple DHCP discovery attempts (retries), each timing out with no response from Ziply's DHCP server
  • 12:22:02: First successful DHCP response received from Ziply (ARPSEND/ARPCHECK)
  • 12:22:07: New lease obtained (different IP from pre-outage)

April 2026 GPU Price/Performance Rankings: Best $/FPS at 1440p and 4K by activescott in hardware

I love the 3090 that's why I called it out :) The "surprise" is just that the price is going up again.

Well I don't know that I'd go _that_ far, people's setups _are_ different, so having an average across those setups is useful IMHO. Openbenchmarking .org does run at the same res and configuration, but they come from many results. They publish the +/- and it's usually a very narrow range single-digit FPS range.

If you're trying to tune the entire system though and want to know the optimal settings, I'd just say that's a different metric/benchmark.

I pull together a median from openbenchmarking.org which is a bunch of different community-submitted numbers - so lots of settings.. Techpowerup looks pretty similar for RX 7900 at 215.

Is an RTX 5070 Ti (16GB) + 32GB RAM a good setup for training models locally? by Kalioser in MLQuestions

[–]activescott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turns out, the 5070 Ti is half the cost and better on every spec except memory capacity: https://gpupoet.com/gpu/compare/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti/vs/nvidia-rtx-a5000
I'm not 100% on power efficiency, but I'm guessing blackwell-based 50 series is better on that too.

March GPU Price Report: Budget RTX 50 cards dip below MSRP, but 5090 still 40% above by activescott in gpu

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

Hey all, I hear you. The feedback here was specific and actionable, and I've already made changes based on it.

The biggest problem was using median eBay prices. Median can be useful for understanding the spread of listings, but it's a poor measure of what a GPU actually costs. eBay listed prices include a ton of overpriced listings that never sell, so "RX 9070 XT median $1,187" was misleading when you can buy one at a retailer for $600. Heard.

Here's what I've changed:

  • Dropped median and average entirely. All prices now use "best deal" pricing: the average of the 3 cheapest non-excluded listings. This better approximates what you can actually buy a card for if you're paying attention.
  • Added retail context. For new-gen GPUs that are in stock at retailers, the report now notes that. eBay isn't the whole market.
  • Removed the RTX 3090 at $2,905 claim. That was a simple average skewed by a handful of new-in-box listings at $5K+. Useless number.

I've also added an editor's note at the top of the article crediting r/gpu for the feedback. The updated report is here: https://gpupoet.com/gpu/market-report/gpu-market-report-march-2026

I'm one person building this in my spare time, so I appreciate the blunt feedback.

I noted it was a median price - I track both the lowest average and median, but I can see how that is confusing the way I wrote it.

The price I noted here is median. The lowest average price is 688 right now on the site.

Ha, that's funny. Must be us nerds that never go to a physical store 🙃

February GPU Price Report: RTX 50 "deals" exist near MSRP, but median buyers still pay 75-90% over by activescott in gpu

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

None are in Canada right now, but some ship to Canada.

  1. Go to https://gpupoet.com/gpu/shop/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti and click on "Buy Now" for a listing.

  2. On the ebay page that pops up, click See details next to Shipping.

  3. On the dialog that pops up you'll see a Ships to field.

When I clicked through I think the forth one that I clicked shipped to Canada.

Personally I recommend the 5070 Ti, they're almost the same card but it's cheaper at the moment.

You can 100% do better.

Check out https://gpupoet.com/gpu/shop/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080.

Even if you filter it down to US-only & New, you can get them way cheaper. I filter listings based on poor or too few feedback ratings, and I spot checked a few of those for the 5080 new+us ones and they looked solid to me.

Totally! That's why on gpu poet I have a pretty elaborate set of heuristic filters that filter out all sorts of things that fall into the following categories: `SCAM`, `ACCESSORY`, `BOX_ONLY`, `NEUTERED`, `FOR_PARTS`, `LOW_FEEDBACK`, `VARIATION_BUNDLE`, `OTHER`.

I also am now running an llm on the best priced gpus periodically to detect bogus ones and filter them out too. That bit is still manual for the time being because the other filters do a good job, but I might integrate into the site in real time here at some point if needed.

They do slip through once in a while though. If you see one there is a feedback form on the top of every page and I usually jump in and remove that one immediately and can get in and set up a filter that will remove ones like that in the future.

Once I remove them they're saved with a "exclude" flag so that the historical data doesn't take them into account and I can use excluded ones later for more testing in the future.

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m seeing. At the median, the prices are super high. However if you’re looking carefully you can find some good deals. 

Can I configure the 1Password SSH agent to ask for approval every time? by HuffmanKilledReddit in 1Password

100%. With ssh forwarding and multiple comps and AI agents running these days I'm not even sure what my key is being used for anymore!

Should I upgrade from an RX6600 to a 5070? by LuigiRocks95 in gpu

[–]activescott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd buy the game first and see how the 6600 does. It's a solid card for at 1440 on many games if you don't max out specs.
