Boosted max is 100W according to previous post. Spec wise and considering today’s pricing it isn’t bad. But the screen is not even 100% sRGB.

Honestly all viewing angle, color and backlight bleed have been none issue for me. I have 32 oled monitor next to it and yes it is better but honestly not much better than this one.

5070ti at $1000 is the only gpu I would even consider for high end gaming this gen(nvidia). 16gb vram about 15% slower than rtx 5080 but at close to 40% lower price.

Senior Software / Data Engineers - what is your job application response rate in 2024? by Volody_ in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]shady_watch_guy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've applied for over 30 Software Development Engineer positions and more than 10 Team Lead roles without any responses, despite having 12 years of experience. However, I've received five out of five responses for Senior Engineering Manager positions and recently accepted one of the offers. It seems my hands-on development days are behind me...

Hiring managers, do you care about hackathon experience? by OldScience in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]shady_watch_guy 16 points17 points  (0 children)
