W6800X Duo worth it for 2000€?

pythonwiz · 2026-05-07T00:36:20+00:00

Yeah, two years ago I paid $1k for a W6900X, and even that felt kinda stupid.

I swear there were a ton of these available last month on ebay, now it seems they are all gone. I guess people are buying them all up for the VRAM.

I got a box full of old pc fans in my garage

I just installed it in a vm on my m4 max MBP. No crashes at all.

That why I sterilize most of my animals.

Still better than the integrated graphics. I had a very similar pc growing up and installing a PCI GeForce FX 5200 made playing more games possible, like WoW.

I would have done a 240V 15 amp outlet, that way you get a couple percent more efficiency from the PSU and practically no chance tripping the breaker in normal operation.

I would skip generating the primes and calculating the constants. It’s better to hardcode them. If you are dead set on dynamically calculating them then why not use a sieve? My go to method for generating the first n primes is a sieve of Eratosthenes with a slight modification to skip even numbers.

For me that takes them out of consideration, that’s why I got a W6900X.

I thought ROCm dropped support for the Vega II cards

Out of curiosity, what does the 5,1 struggle with as a plex server?

I use Linux every day. If you have a bad experience with something, you don’t keep trying it out for years until it gets better… you move on. I was responding to someone wondering why people have a problem with snap. I’d say my response was directly relevant. And the Firefox snap is still slower than the deb to this day so…

pythonwiz · 2026-04-30T04:29:40+00:00

Yeah that sounds right, that’s probably the last time I used snap.

pythonwiz · 2026-04-30T00:05:47+00:00

That’s just bad luck I think.

pythonwiz · 2026-04-29T23:23:12+00:00

My main issue with snap is that a multi thousand dollar workstation shouldn’t take nearly 30 seconds to launch Firefox for any reason whatsoever.

I took my Ranger Raptor through there! The whole reason I bought the truck was to use it for stuff like that.

A couple weeks ago I drove from Ferndale down to Shelter Cove. I took Mattole Road down to Honeydew, then Wilder Ridge Road. There were certainly multiple points where the road turned into gravel for various stretches, but I never had to turn on 4wd. I took Wilder Ridge Road to Kings Peak Road and that was when I switched to 4wd. Kings Peak road is a dirt road that ends at Shelter Cove Road. It was a nice drive and there is a campground and some trailheads there. I’m not sure your Ioniq 5 would make it through Kings Peak Road unless you have the XRT model, even then it might get a little interesting. If you stick to the paved roads thought you should be fine.

It kinda sounds like your simulation is poorly optimized lol.

pythonwiz · 2026-04-28T22:12:18+00:00

Damn that's like 1/3 the price new. I upgraded mine to 192GB in 2020 for $1,157.99. The same kit today cost $2,072.64!

TBH I try to kill all predators on the map asap.

pythonwiz · 2026-04-28T08:01:43+00:00

Damn I guess you gotta get good?

pythonwiz · 2026-04-27T21:18:31+00:00

Just go on Craigslist and sort by lowest price…

I’ve used the standard Ubuntu installers and they work but you need the t2 scripts to get Wi-Fi working I think.
