The only good thing is used nvidia card pricing is (generally) much better.

Now not so much because mining but if/when its normal again as there’s just so many more of them.

Yes, but they’re used. The reason it’s better than AMD used is because they don’t age well (especially the 700 series… holy hell that was atrocious). When a 270x, a mid-range at best card when it launched 5 years ago, still manages to trade blows with a 950 to the point where in very specific workloads it beats it, is a testament to how well AMD cards age.

Its not even that lol. The drivers on nvidia cards don’t really… Get better other than game specific. However I can still use for example my GTX 465 with the newest drivers (even if they arent super well optimized for fermi) and its fine.
Meanwhile the 58xx and 6xxx series of similar age is basically useless now because of old drivers that barely work at least on win10

GCN though is quite different but still. Different focus for both teams I guess.

Nvidia spends their time on game optomization and quadro drivers while AMD spend their time rewriting their entire drivers every other product release

AMD realized they couldn’t afford to not make a unified architecture so that driver improvements for brand new card A would help older card B And so on.

Meanwhile, at Nvidia:

On Reddit its pretty close to retail for used cards already but now even eBay is getting there.

Minor problems of having done acting in college:
Still remember lines of the parts you played years later but not always remember the name of the play.
For example today I remember the line: Do I not bleed.
I think it is from Merchant of Venice but I’m not sure. Do I ever go to look up what it is from? Nope.

Happens to me with lines from movies, shows, anime, etc.
It’s more annoying when it’s like a second from a song that reminds me of another song and I can’t figure out which one for hours.

Is staying up 3 more hours after you wanted to go to bed just to figure out which song the part you keep hearing in your head over and over and over again is from relatable too?

(it was a part of the chorus from Cash Machine by Hard-Fi, couldn’t remember any words, just the melody).

Random thought: would be funny as fuck to start a joke altcoin and see if we can get an ICO.
Considering above video earlier.
As long as its clearly a joke could be interesting… I mean doge coin became way more successful than anyone thought it would so.

The Onion News are considered clearly satire…yet there are people who don’t think and see everything on the internet that fits their values as true.

The Joke Coin - It’s just a prank, bro
