This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
"Whistleblows". What a moronic take, in this regard taking the word of Edward Snowden is like taking the word of a random stranger in the street. At least we know on what Edward Snowden is likely spending his days on in Russia: Gaming. Wouldn't blame him, it's not like he can freely travel.
Was this written by AI? The headline word salad contains all the buzzwords.
Yeah that does seem a bit weird, my four year old RX 6800 has 16 GB VRAM already
Every time I see a headline that contains the word “slams,” I want to slam my head on the table
And the user who posted it. I really wish there was a simple way to block sensational posts from my feed.
Thanks for giving me the idea. BRB, making a keyword filter for the words "slams" and "slammed".
Careful now, you might end up with few news posts
Don't forget blasted and clapped back.
Every one who bought the 7900xtx laughing their arse off running 20GiB models with MUCH better performance than a 4080/4080Super lol
I’m an idiot that waited. Saw a sapphire nitro 7900xtx on sale for €900 but didn’t get it holding out for the 5800. Now those are €1400 if you can find one and the 7900xtx is out of stock.
Have a 3080ti though so I’m not too bad off, just annoyed.
Don't feel bad, neither AMD or NVIDIA (or Intel for that matter) have produced anything worthy of note in the GPU space since the 1080Ti or 6800XT. Keep your 3080ti, it'll serve you well for now. Hopefully Morethreads or Intel make something interesting and disrupt the market although it's unlikely. NV and AMD have the GPU spaced fairly locked with IP (and cash reserves) that would drown any competitor in legalese for a millennium. The 7900xtx is a helluva card because it competes with overpriced NVIDIA hw, in any sane world it would be a 7800 class card and priced accordingly. (like the 5080 is actually a 5070)
I bought my 7900XTX for $800, and have kept absolutely quiet about it.
Anyone who has asked me: "AMD sucks, CUDA better, buy NVDA stock".
The invisible hand of the market is made of invisible delicious meat
also of invisible morons
How would Snowden get a hold of one of these in Russia? Maybe through an intermediary in Kazakhstan?
Then again it's hard finding one here even in the US since they all went out of stock within 5 minutes of being listed.
According to russian over at r/hardware GPUs have become cheaper in Russia since the ban as they are now being smuggled instead of imported via Europe with all extra cost that implies.
That doesn't make sense or I'm reading it wrong
Legal weed is more expensive sometimes
