yep I mean technically didn’t even have to be there at all and even skipped a fair few lecture and seminars and spent like 90% of my time either in the library or computing building researching or programming.
damn. thats not half bad

that’s an RX 560D (so an RX460) though… it only has 896 cores.
(vs the 1024 on a real 560)

… not really? then again if you are only looking at new cards is kindof a good deal
because
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX770-2GB-GDDR5-HDMI-DisplayPort-DVI-Reference-Graphics-Card/182997328429?hash=item2a9b7da22d:g:EUoAAOSwIFtaTWme
granted uses more power but still
was going to also say R9 280x but prices on those are still fucked lol
(GTX 770 is either the same perf as an RX 460 in vram eating titles, or up to 50ish% faster in games that don’t eat vram so… And a bit cheaper as well)
But it’s green…

This is also why I’m seriously debating getting a 1080 because Vega might as well not exist currently lol

look at it this way. Amd is selling more cards than they can provide

Well yes. But AMD isn’t reaping the profits beyond the what MSRP is. Only the scalping retailers are getting the extra sooo its only kindof good.

yep still AMD could certainly use the money and miners are actually paying for cards in huge numbers which the same couldn’t be said for gamers.
Ryzen is making the massive bank not vega lol.
At MSRP they probably are losing money on Vega because hbm
But at least ryzen is doing really well and even better now lmao
Becuase even if the Intel patch only hurts performance by say 5% that puts Ryzen a lot closer in IPC. And if its 30% oh boy this will be fun rofl

And then there’s the business market to consider for AMD cpus. If they’re running the virtual machines, etc. on intel platforms that puts them in a position subject to the vulnerabilities. So it may be better for the business from a PR standpoint to switch over to Threadripper/Epyc to avoid any potential PR disaster that could come from the vulnerability of the Intel platforms. This of course is dependent upon if the business determines that cost to switch is less than the potential loss of business from said PR disaster.

I mean I’ve already heard of systems admins switching orders from Intel to EPYC servers almost as soon as the news broke.

Also lmao
The fact that a lot of Amazon and so on servers had had upwards of 40% performance loss is insanity.
If that doesnt get them to switch… Lol
