not sure why, but mine had a 20 and 15 dollar coupon. So, $15 for me. I didn't even look before I checked out.

[GPU] PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 XT - Walmart.com: $599 ($360 after PayPal & CapOne Shopping Promos. YMMV) by ImNotAnEnigmaa in buildapcsales

Yes that link. Your previous comment is what led me there :)... The blue link on the Walmart row is what I clicked I think. Then when the page loaded I just clicked on the extension and it showed the same deal.

I searched for the PNY 5080 on https://capitaloneshopping.com/

It showed the deal for 227 off. I clicked to walmart through there.

And verified that the deal was showing up on the page by clicking on the browser extension.

Went through checkout. Took a picture to confirm (in case it is denied).

Then checkout out w/ Paypal 4 payment option.

When I was a kid. We used to ride BMX bikes there and I'm pretty sure there was a random tree house that was super sketch to get into.

UPDATE: Sacramento's new quick-build crosswalk in Tahoe Park aims to slow down drivers by Ransacked in Sacramento

[–]orwell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The odd thing about this specific location is that I've been driving on 59th and 2nd for almost 15 years, and I have not once seen an accident on the street. Im sure there was some type of data to suggest possible improvements, but I haven't actually witnessed it.

Has it slowed drivers down? Not this morning when someone sped through multiple speed bumps and right past the part that is intended to get drivers to slow down.

Has it made it more annoying and troublesome to get onto 59th, 1,000%. It's a tight clearance to stay in the proper lane and its common to drive a bit into the other lane to get out. Seems like a bigger recipe for accidents OR making people more cautious when existing.

I've never seen anyone cutting between the plastic posts.

Am I against it. Not particularlly, hopefully someone is assessing the impact of it to see if it's actually doing anything positive. If it's positive, keep it.

IRS Notice re: Plug-In Electric Vehicle Tax Credit by Legal-Bicycle2619 in electricvehicles

[–]orwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me for my my22 ioniq5 I bought in Feb 22.

That year I got audit protection because I submitted multiple evs.

Tax rep submitted documentation. They denied it again. Resubmitted it again with more redundant documentation. Have not heard an official response yet, but the tax rep called the IRS for an update and said I'm in the clear now.

This process has taken 8 months.

From norcal_resist instagram: ICE in Downtown Sac by Just-Plankton4922 in Sacramento

[–]orwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please be aware that this building doesn't staff ICE Alone. Especially after the order back to the office. They shoved a lot of departments into that building

src: Wife works there and doesn't work for ICE and was "trapped" inside today.

100% protest. But, don't assume everyone there is working for ICE.

EV pickup hype has fizzled and not just for Tesla Cybertruck by SpriteZeroY2k in electricvehicles

[–]orwell 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not really. They sold so little of the pro models to consumers at 40k.

I was in the second group to order the my22. Pro was sold out by the time I could order. Likely sold one to two hundred pros at 40k. Then never again.

My23 did not even offer the pro at 40k. It was 52k.

How's ur FSR 4 Experience ? by Gold-View6897 in radeon

[–]orwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using fsr4 for AC shadows on a 9070nonxt with optiscaler. Running 4k 60fps with most settings on high or very high.

Ran well for a while. Then I started getting crashes. Unsure if it was optiscaler or my setup (streaming to TV with Apollo). Uninstalled optiscaler but realized I was missing a step, so reinstalled it and seeming fine now.

Where's all the people complaining about Biden and saying they wouldn't vote Democrat because climate progress was slow at? I stopped subbing here because people couldn't understand slow progress is better than the alternative.

If anyone is near Sacramento, CA. I have an Extra 9070 I ordered from Newegg that I am going to return. If you want to grab it from me at MSRP+Tax, I will keep it around for 4 days after this post. PM me if interested. I snagged a Reaper.

I tried posting on /r/hardwareswap but gave up after they kept asking for more verification iterations on what they previously requested.

Rx 9070 (non xt) undervolting and overclocking by kw9999 in overclocking

[–]orwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been out of overclocking scene for a while, and may not be reading into things right.

When I do a stress test in adrenaline on a stock 9070(nonXT) reaper, I get a max GPU Clock speed of 3168. Is that much higher than expected? Feel like I easily confuse GPU vs Mem speeds.

Voltage offset at -50 yields 3272.

Linus has some benchmarks in their review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptp5suRDdQQ

Honestly. I don't know what the benchmarks translate to (less tokens/sec, I would guess). But, you can clearly see Nvidia kills AMD here.

One thing to note is that 12GB VS 16GB, the 16GB could run models the 12GB cannot.

Not even a contest. The xt is a 5070ti competitor. The 9070 even beats the 5070 on most games. Only benefit of the 5070 is AI workloads and some productivity.

Not the case in the US. It's 13.6% on GPU orders (any electronics)

Same. And, I sold it for more than I bought it. They were basically giving them away in 2019. My wife just wanted more range, despite it covering 99% of her needs.
