  1. I have the TUF 5090, and it's a pretty great card. No issues to report. I wish I had gotten it at this price!
  2. TUF 5090 on Amazon for $1999 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DS2Z8854/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1
  3. I hit the max rank 20 lol. Man I really do love it, next weekend hit me up and we can squad up if you want. I'm off on Thursday so I'll be locked and loaded for some BF6 action and try to grind hard. I still played BF2042, it got better, but dang if it isn't sterile feeling going back to that after tasting BF6 action.
  4. Not quite, that article the other day was based on manipulated data. While AMD has definitely gained market share in server, they're definitely not at 50%
  5. If you don't nee the cores, get the 265KF at Microcenter shipped nation wide for $210. Best deal on a CPU I've seen in a long time. 265K is same silicon quality as 285K with 4 less E cores. It's like they downclocked the P cores just to make a new SKU. But My 265K clocked as high, if not higher on P cores than my 285K, and same on E cores. It actually ahs lower latency just due to the design of the chip that cannot be mimicked on the 285K, no matter which E cores you disable.
  6. Tested the shorting pin 2 to ground method that is circulating on OC.net. No go. Does nothing lol. I got some jumper wires and shorted pin 2, did absolutely nothing to the card other than turning off my fans lol.
  7. I took my card out and tried to short the 2 pins but I need some jumper wires as the wire job I tried to make didn't work. So I'll have my jumpers tomorrow to try and flash the XOC BIOS. I might just bust out the USB flasher and force flash it instead.
  8. PHOENIX!!! YES lol. I'm out there every now and again when I go to the In-Laws home. Finally! And now I can answer yes to the question if I'll ever move back lol. Phoenix based and have access to a MC if I moved out there again. Get your wallet ready lol. It's very dangerous having MC so close by lol. Edit: Just saw it's right next to Sky Harbor. Very dangerous for me on short overnights lol.
  9. Monster card. I've said it before, the FE is my favorite card last gen and still my favorite card this gen, maybe slightly less so with the weird multiple PCBs and cables they used. Last gen 4090 FE and it's brick air cooler was phenomenal. The PCB and the cooler are literally works of art and feel stupid high quality compared to some of these junk AIBs. And the price is right too. Nice job!
  10. TSMC is heavily subsidized by the Taiwanese government and now apparently the US govt. too. AMD got rid of their fabs. I think it’s long overdue for Intel to sell theirs off too. All of Intels losses are because of the costs and investment into those fabs in recent years. It’s not Intels job to ensure we have home field fabs. If the US government doesn’t care, then Intel needs to dump them. We will all be buying TSMC or maybe Samsung chips in the future. The prices are going to sky rocket. And it’s nobodies fault but our own. Also when is the last time Intels marketing was good? I feel sorry for those that are losing their jobs, but when a company is in the red, nobody is safe.
  11. Intel with it's own bLLC (big last level cache) coming with Nova Lake. Apparently it's 144Mb cache tile. Nova Lake shaping up to be a monster CPU for Intel.
  12. AVX512 is coming back to Nova Lake. Except it’s the next gen called AVX10. Unfortunately HT is gone I think.
  13. AMD is making 32 core Ryzen? I don't think so. They're changing to 12 core CCD, meaning max 24 cores 48 threads. Intel has already got the LPE cores (see useless cores for desktop) figured out. They've been using them since Meteor Lake laptops. I recently had a 285H laptop that had 2 LPEs and they worked only when watching something full screen on battery. They do a great job to extend the life of the battery when just doing media consumption. So not worthless for a laptop. But unless something changes (and it might) for Nova Lake, they cannot be used for heavy tasks, even if you try to force them on. Although, like I said, it might change and they might be usable for Nova Lake desktop. But back to the point, it's already been figured out on the scheduler side. Also this is like the 6th gen of disaggregated hybrid CPU for Intel. The scheduler works pretty great at this point, I have yet to see many if any issues with Arrow Lake scheduling. Nova Lake with 48 cores, no HT, is likely going to wipe the floor with a 48 thread Ryzen in Multithreading. 24 threads on Arrow Lake already compete with 32 threads on Zen 5. With thread parity, I don't see it going well for AMD. Not to mention the E cores just continue to get better and better each gen. If they do happen to get all 52 cores working together, it won't even be close IMO.
