Not sure how many times I have moved away snow this winter. Jep, not happy with this white thingy.

 

Polar low pressure heading inland – small to full storm expected. Nice. More of the damn white mess. And on top stormy weather as well. Can't beat this combo😞

Thanks. Yup, New year and new chances. We'll see if the seller here will accept sell the MSI 1080 TI Lighning Z to the old man Papusan🙂 I found this in the used market here home. Not many of thoose cards here home.

 

I rather pay $250 for used old nice special custom made cards than buy the new more fancy low end cards for similar prices. More fun. For me. And I'm an collector of such good old stuff🙂 He have 48 hours  to accept it. And I know the pict lover (you know who you are)😀 wait for new nice pictures from Papusan's plaza. 

 

 

It's mine now 🙂 This beauty will be sent to me after the New year holidays.

The new normal... never the best from any tech company, but some failing harder than others. Sad times. Maybe 2025 will not be as bad.

Probably stupidity. I really hope the younger one's is much smarter than what Suckerman think. Yet another stupid way to use AI.

The decline of social media is coming: Meta wants to fill it with AI bots to simulate people

Meta wants to fill social media with bots to attract a younger audience interested in AI. Meta's goal with this service of making bots that pretend to be users is to attract the attention of a younger audience , as they are very interested in AI.

575w TDP for 5090.....that is insane....

....but if it can hit a 40%+ uplift over the 4090 I'm afraid I might have to buckle down and pick one up.....

 

We'll see. 🙂

It will be interesting to see what they do to 5080, 5070 and 5060 to make the lesser SKUs unattractive so that everyone wants to donate spare body parts to buy the 5090. Wonder if there will be any 5090 overclock headroom left or if it will be pushed to the brink of failure like 14900KS?

Nvidia needed to boost the power consumption with 125W. I wonder how much the performance would sink with lower 450W TDP as for today's 4090's. The increased TDP is probably needed because there is not a major change on the node for 5000 series cards. 

 

Edit.

Blackwell for data centers is fabricated using a custom 5nm-grade (4NP) node from TSMC, which is said to be an enhanced version of 4N seen on Ada Lovelace and not a full-fledged node jump. This likely explains why Nvidia is pushing power limits to extract every last drop of performance.

Hmm. Papuan's delayed Christmas present to himself🙂 Say hello to MSI GTX 1080 Ti Lightning Z. In pristine condition, both for the card and the box. And the card is clean and nice. Never tampered with and still with the avoid sticker on the screw. Damn nice. I also got the orginal invoice from  the seller.

 

The owner paid $900 in 2017 for this beauty. If I include the price hike since 2017 which is 22.81 percent then the card would cost around 1100 USD in Norway with todays money. Yep, half the price vs custom AIB 4090 flagship. But remember in the old days the price premium for the flagship models was mostly below or around $100. Etc a 4090 Strix have several hundreds in premium above MSRP cards nowadays. Sad direction, indeed. 

 

MSI offered Lightning cards in 3 versions. Vanilla version. Lighning X and then the flagship Lightning Z. The box is the same for all 3 SKUs (and the 3 cards is exactly same) but you can differenciate the different cards with the small sticker on the box and on the card. The tp model (Z) was produced in limited quantity. Only 3000 cards made.

Sorry bruh. Better with the black box with Ice-cream?😁 The card looks as mint condition. The weight topped out at 1.7 Kg.
