Dunno how people just don't see how anti consumer Nvidia is... Trying to pass FG as actual performance, melting power connectors, increasing pricing while bumping up lower tier as a higher tier (4060 should've been 4050 and so on), now this... And people still line up to buy their GPUs

Used 3080 > whatever this crap is

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oof my 3080 12GB + 5800X3D build is basically still pretty good considering all the new releases. I can still play Avowed maxed out 1440p with 60+ FPS with a really good IQ by forcing the transformer DLSS model.

Ooooh Steve is probably gonna tear them a new one for this, better get some popcorn

[–] thebigslime@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks, Steve.

...recent controversies aside.

If the spec does not follow the expectations, I assume they have to recall those. Right? If not, someone is asking for an official recall and get their rears destroyed.

Happened in the past already, and was solved with a vBIOS update. It will probably be the same here, unless the parts were really lasered off or something.

[–] ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So in this case, the rop were not detected because of firmware? Strange, but at least would be solvable. Let's see if this situation for the 5090 is the same

[–] Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

This is just speculation on my part, but I guess they are detected, but the firmware just doesn't use all of them. I think the chips are all a bit different, with different defects, parts removed, and stuff like that.

[–] ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

That is for sure true. And this variance that creates the "binning lottery" people talk about (and why there is some people that will pay premium for specific high binned parts)

Nvidia really living up to their fanbase it seems

Most disrespectful gfx gen launch I've seen in a good while

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Most disrespectful gen launch so far

Hate to think what the 60 launch is going to be like, jesus. Paying increasingly more for decreasing quality.

Hahahaha, you get what you deserve. The more you buy the more (ROPs) you save!

Shrinkflation!
