What happens in New Mexico tomorrow??

 

@time623

We've never paid more for less than we do now.

Look at Nvidia and their Blackwell architecture. Sure the focus is less gaming and more AI but they're still trying to place a big focus on gaming.

Their rasterization performance isn't even as much of an upgrade over the RTX4000 series yet they're crazy expensive in comparison.

5080's have sold out everywhere averaging over $1,250, and it's still just a 16gb card

I bet we'll see a Super or TI variant with some 20gb which will be a big fuck you for those buying a 5080 now.

 

Clearly you overlooked the lower case new

 

Being a new driver is hard enough and now the basic respect for other drivers has gone out the window… it makes sense to stress about it

 

Damnit lmao

My 3090 isn't going anywhere, the performance/dollar is just ridiculous rn
Taiwan could get hit like CA/MX too so it might just become an even worse value

Last I heard TSMC in Phoenix is only up and running on Apple silicon right now, not Nvidia

 

You can just remove the for other drivers portion and it would still be correct

 

I’ve really had to rein myself in as well. I used to (and still do but rarely) get super spun up on the roads, especially with left lane campers, but I finally made peace with the fact that it never helps and I never get there more quickly.

Makes driving a lot simpler now and probably helps my blood pressure too haha.

 

Yeah I think even RTX2000 series owners are holding onto their cards still.

Did you read about their competition in China? Stocks had plummeted for Nvidia (although they're coming back up).

 

Yeah been watching that
Crazy what they were able to achieve using like 1/100th the GPU power as other learning models

 

no kidding

ive had multiple people line skip me at the checkout recently. uh?????

i do appreciate the occasions when the cashier just ignores them and waves me up to awkwardly shove my items past them but damn

 

that's pretty much where I'm at, I try and take it easy and leave space and let the impatient drivers do their thing.... do you notice a difference depending on what you drive?

my driving style is pretty consistent but the camry seems to attract a lot more negative interactions. when im in the rock rashed tacoma people stay far away lol

 

A big reason for adding dash cams to our cars

People are pretty fucked up all over like y'all mentioned, but I'd rather avoid the road rage confrontation if I can for our own sake

Let the cameras catch whatever they need to capture, and rely on insurance to take care of things when the time comes

I'm not gonna risk getting shot just because someone cut me off or something especially with the little dude with me

 

Don't have to find out just yet, decision was delayed until March now

 

I had better start hoarding CV axles, radiators, and alternators.

 

@Ozark_RegCab @01x4 +3 LT coilover kits are coming for the 100 series. If you gotta have more droop, this could be a way. I hope they didn't forget about the UCA hitting the frame mount, which arrests droop.
Then, they need some extended-length inner CV axle boots. One mod leads to 2 others to make a trifecta.

 

Dont forget the toilet paper

 

I need a new show to watch, already on the latest episode of Will Trent

Any recommendations?

 

Yeah, I need to replace the older ones I have. Also think Im gonna hang up the econobox keys for a while

literally just had someone pass me going 20+ over in the oncoming lane on a busy side street with traffic coming our way.

 

Orphan Black
Mr Robot
Fringe

 

finally I can justify why I have 3+ spare CVs in the pile lol
