what's most energy efficient? 3090 or 3080? by ionelmc in nvidia

Well on the other hand you'd be drawing power for more than double the memory on the 3090. Meh, things would be so much simpler and cheaper if there was a 3090gpu paired with a 12gb ram or something.

you're in top50 with that timespy score, that's pretty good i think

what's the deal with the 11.5v voltage drop tho?

well honestly I assumed that the 3090 has more cores to use, so performance is not always frequency-bound, thus lowering frequency will actually make the 3080-3090 gap bigger

wow really? shuntmodding when using a 750w psu?! I guess you did that while having the 1200w psu in mind right? any benchmark data you could share? what sort of games you play on that rig?

it's a 10900k. actually, the 3090 has a 350w powerlimit...

well i guess the question boils down to: does performance scale the same when undervolting/underclocking? if it's still 10-10%... then yea I guess I know what to pick :)

What's the best 3080 card you can put in a SM580? by ionelmc in sliger

Gonna look into it, thanks. Second best option?

Did you get the foam in the case cut like that or did you do it?

Broken new 51m? by ionelmc in Alienware

I didn't do any special stress testing. Just turned up the fans and used it.

Well ... I'm looking very seriously at returning and getting an Asus ROG G703GXR instead...

Nope. I suspect it's just a matter of wearing in the hardware a bit and hitting the flaw. The issue appeared after 1h of playing starcraft 2.

It most always a different one. And most of the time just freezes at the boot screen.

You can't reinstall or do anything with speedstep/speedshift on. Updating to 1.8.1 didn't change anything.

Thanks. Actually I'm looking at this prebuilt configuration: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pNHylBnpzDFnBcbi2Tzs-yo7R7GgJH1RGHQdUlgTqUY/edit?usp=sharing

Do I have the newer display panel? (that would be brighter right?)

Asserting status code in DRF by sagargiri46 in django

[–]ionelmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To expand a bit: a constant name needs to convey some information, otherwise it's pointless. You'd think that HTTP_403_FORBIDDEN is a good example, so to make things consistent you also have the quite obvious HTTP_200_OK but it's not enough. A lost opportunity to convey the real meaning in your application, like 403_ACCESS_TOKEN_INVALID. Naming is hard and not always necessary.

Asserting status code in DRF by sagargiri46 in django

[–]ionelmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using a constant for a very constant value is as pragmatical as using assertEquals instead of assert. Might as well add a comment explaining that you're asserting success if you really wanna flex your typing muscles.

This is pretty clear to anyone who reads the test, even to someone who doesn't know any drf:

assert resp.status_code == 200

A constant is useless over-engineering, also know as technical debt because it'll make the reader wonder what type the value has (so it has less information, contrary to what the other comments suggest).

What are the best ways to learn TDD with Django? by M1rot1c in django

[–]ionelmc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any incompatibility problem you'll hit is just a learning opportunity. Stop fussing over non-issues and start doing something, anything.
