I kinda get it... Unboxing my *used* nVIDIA GPUs from the Titan X Pascal on have been a treat. The RTX 3080 FE I have now definitely has that "premium feel" in your hands. For as much as nVIDIA charged for it, though, it had god damn well...
People are too lazy to use software to dim them and the defaults are always too frigging bright. I say this is a user problem.
I've been arguing for years that all RGB products should come defaulted off. Unfortunately, there's no standards or...
Thanks man. I did see the light flashing that it was reading and then installing bios. who really knows. I'm just glad i make enough money that it is some what easy for be to absorb my mistakes better then most but still kind of mad. I have a...
My one time doing a BIOS flashback it was like doing a raindance. Follow the instructions, name the file correctly and put it on a FAT32 formatted drive... except it didn't work for me on various size flash drives I had (32 - 128GB USB 3.0...
Justifying this change as a way to compete with Nintendo is exactly the wrong play. If anything it could be seen as a shot across the bow at Nvidia and everyone else.
Provide, or allow one to run?
It's funny to me how they claim to need to control this, when if anything else goes wrong with a 3rd party app in the app store they are all like "well that's not our problem, look at the app developer".

I have my 2 geforce 256's, a SDR and DDR model. Neither seemed that great at the time, and were not supported for very long. Now my geforce 2's got used a lot, and I have them in several of my retro systems. Much better and a more useful card.
GeForce 256 was when the term "GPU" was first introduced by Nvidia. Yes, it was really more a marketing thing than anything else, but that was the card first given that description.
It seems to me that if you wanted to play with AI, that you would be looking for a card with Tensor Cores. Any card going all the way back to the 8800 GTX can do CUDA... but only RTX cards have Tensor Cores. The P40 mentioned above would do...
Putin is well aware of the West's soft power, which dwarfs even their hard power. Russians love Western games, movies, and music. This is a desperate bid to sequester Russia's youth from the West.
Your average gaming clock speeds might be a little higher with a better cooler, but the difference isn't significant. On my 7800X3D a dual tower air cooler like the AK620 has average gaming clocks of around 4825mhz (-20 offset, PBO) and a 360 AIO...
