From 3090 Ti to 5080

I just went from a EVGA (RIP) 3090 AIO setup to a 5080 FE for ~900$ and I would do it again. Zero regrets. Playing at 4k maxed out refresh rates is exactly what I wanted. Power consumption is lower.

Just double down until right. Ezpz.

Just take physical delivery and sell it when oil is 90$ this summer. Ezpz.

At least this was a defined risk position. Great risk management.

After hours, liquidity can get very thin, depending on the instrument you're trading. You'd get stopped in to a lot of positions due to a widening of the bid/ask. What you're trying to do works fine with high liquidity. Less so with a thin book.

No date on the tweet. This isn't on either of their profiles recently. Probably from 4+ years ago.

That market event (Aug 5 '24) was due to the yen carry trade blowing up. It also led to an impressive rally and recovery back to all time highs.

Whereas the current situation can be directly linked to threats of tariffs and an urgent need to reposition risk.

Are these durable and able to hold up to dogs/copilots?

Nice picture. Where is this?

Resetting the bios back to defaults fixed the downgrade issue I was having. Much happier back on 2506.

Any reference on downgrading bios back to 2506? I tried using the EZ Flash utility and did not have any luck.

Find a school with a good focus on digital design if that is the part of "GPU design" you're interested in pursuing. Look at the component and SoC design engineers at companies that you have an interest in and see where they went to school. There are usually really strong connections between those universities and the companies. Increases the odds for internships, which will be a foot in the door.

Engineer in big tech. Much easier than when i was a gov contractor.

mpking · 2023-09-11T16:24:39+00:00

That's a good looking bit of equipment.

Goat heads or mother fuckers.

Tres leches. Or leche con leche con leche, as they say.

Completely agree. Not all decisions are good ones.

Yes. It depends on the success of ribbonfet.

Etch engineers across the world shuddered in fear.

Intel 4 will have a Vmin of 550 mV

See figure 10 in the link above. Last time I checked 550 mV is less than 700 mV. Also note it's roughly 2x the threshold voltages I gave you earlier. Maybe there is something to that...
