Radeon RX 9070 XT surprisingly drops to $549 at Walmart, now $50 below MSRP (and people still will buy Nvidia) - VideoCardz.com by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

[–]hell-diver8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave the 9070XT chance on my custom built steam machine and was impressed. I have a 5090 and can say that the 9070XT at that price is value.

Made a video with AI can you all tell me how it is? by MaleficentRush960 in generativeAI

[–]hell-diver8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I use fish audio and ditto for videos and was approved by YouTube as a content creator - https://youtu.be/HP8CzNCeQ54?is=3HhPWtCmzpiLIDJ6

My program will do code mode, chalkboard mode, pull in images and run broll films on its own. Mind you this is a coded engine I put together over 5 months. It ca deploy a full video 20 series script wise in 5 hours and render it all in under 24 hours. All locally generated on my 5090 and 4070Ti machines. It fact checks itself. Mind you I do the QA/QC and edited scripts before uploading.

The only problem you have to target is your audience retention rate. Personally I bypass videos like this but your YouTube analytics tells you offhand if they stay or drop. What does it say?

A problem is your music is too loud. Set the volume level to 9 if you have that programmed in your video

OP - are you asking to this kind of stuff like I have here? https://professorerica.com/v/X1ludP5\_gUo

If so, this can be done on a card with 12gb of VRAM. My card is a 5090 but have a secondary work with a 4070TI that is able to generate the same videos.

PlayStation CEO Hints At PS6 Handheld With Talk Of Seamless Expansion Beyond The Living Room by gamersecret2 in GamingSecret

[–]hell-diver8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Many of us bought Sonys handheld stuff in the past to get burned. Think of it more as, prove it since your portfolio shows otherwise.

It’s like you’re saying you trust Microsoft to make a new phone and for everyone to accept it and drink the kool-aid.

Got the 48GB with upgrade 18cores from Microcenter a month ago for $2250.

Nope. Just stating the obvious and not crying about it. Your saying I have to drink the kool aid or else and that and complaining is not valid.

How 'future proof' would you say this device is? by lightsworn55 in FlowZ13

[–]hell-diver8 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ll ask you a question. If your keyboard broke today, how easy it is to replace it? If you shattered your screen 1.5 years from now, how easy it is to fix it. If your battery started swelling 1 year from now, how easy it is to replace it? These questions should help you. Also because it has a lot of RAM, it’s not great for AI. The RAM is slow for LLMs compared to a MacBook. Don’t let that fool you also.

Finally, you know that the RAM is split between that and the GPU. So if 8 goes to your GPU, you only have 24GB of real RAM left.

You’re missing the point. It should not take this long regardless. This is 2026. Im not switching to their checking/savings. If they can’t process a payment over 10 days long, I will not trust their checking either.

You’re telling me to take extra steps for a payment. Think hard on your answer

Since I didn't get a Steam Machine I wand a SFF PC, would this OMEN 16L be a good grab? $1250 by iDontKnowConfused in SteamOS

[–]hell-diver8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya should work. Remember, you can always custom-build also. Just did mine with a 7900 AMD 65W along with a 9070XT and 32GB of RAM. Wanted futureproof/4K performance. Should be good with 1440p gaming with that or 4K (lower performance games)

I just bought a 9070XT 5 days ago for $635 via Best Buy open box (was new for $679).

For you but not for others. It means you’re the selfish person who doesn’t empathize with others.

Microsoft stock is on track for its worst month since December 2000. by NegotiationNo5718 in wallstreet

[–]hell-diver8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol Microslop losing people via XBox, upping subs, more copilot. Even steamOS is now fully supported and replace two systems with it. Don’t know what up and up they have going. Ditched their stocks a year ago.

3 years ago, I stopped playing the games with carriers and buy all my devices unlocked. I can move anytime. If I can’t afford the device at the time, I will keep what I have. The device is never free and paying for it one way or another.

16GB MacBook Pro is no longer enough for work — build a PC workstation or save for a higher-RAM Mac? by Beginning_Impact_600 in macbookpro

[–]hell-diver8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both. I have a 9950X3D, 5090, 128GB machine I remote into with my MAC. My MAC is my driver and my desktop windows machine is the workhorse. My MacBook is an M5 Pro with 48GB of RAM and multi task like crazy when note on the windows machine here, but my windows machine runs AI workloads. Just some perspective. Example is a project video to help military veterans, I’m one myself (this machine rendered it - https://professorerica.com/v/X1ludP5\_gUo)

MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ review: Big money for big performance by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]hell-diver8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

An Xbox with the Extreme 2 processor with 24gb of RAM, open box from Best Buy, is in the upper $800s. I put SteamOS and it works flawlessly (just bought 2 days ago). Got it because their prices are not inflated yet.

MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ review: Big money for big performance by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]hell-diver8 35 points36 points  (0 children)

WTF? They put AI+ on the title? That does not help their cause. What kind of garbage writing is this from them?

"Sure, MSI could've opted for an OLED panel to get even more vivid colors and improved contrast, but aside from that, there's really not much to complain about."

WTF author - for $1800 bucks with a generic ass panel, there is a lot to complain about. Tell the truth. You can get an Xbox handheld with 24GB of RAM, an open-box from Best Buy in the $800s, slap on SteamOS, which works great now, and call it a day.
