That's not the hole I'm talking about. Close though.

Remember back when crypto mining drove up almost all cards, including 1060's about 50%?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Is it wrong that this statement frustrates me? The 3070 is supposed to be a $500 card, that is still not a feasible price point for me.

I want a 3060 super, that will probably be the *stretch* price point I can stomach...

MSI responds to RTX 3080 scalping controversy

MSI has found itself wrapped in controversy this week, as allegations of the company scalping its own products for a higher price on eBay began doing the rounds. The accusation started off on Reddit, with someone linking a company called ***8216;Starlit Partner' to MSI. Starlit Partner recently sold several RTX 3080 GPUs on eBay for well above MSRP.

Thanks. I queued up, so in a couple years I might get notified!

Because you have to sell every wafer possible to get the best margins.

This. I worked for a semiconductor company. That's why they design the silicon to be modular. You can turn defective parts off and still sell it. Given the size of these chips if they didn't sell 3060s and 3070s they'd already be out of business.

This goes all the way back to the 486 sx and dx. You just disable the parts that dont work.

I'd wait for the RX 6700 vs 3080 user benchmark before buying

The Zen 3 announcement premiers on Youtube in about 20 minutes. Interesting to see the performance of the new chips.

$50 premium for the 5950x compared to the 3950x. Not bad. I wonder if Intel will undercut for their Rocket Lake announce.

I think my 3700x will last me a few more years, but some of those 5000 series were tempting.

I thought that, like the 386, the DX had a math coprocessor and the SX didn't?

Also, I didn't think I'd ever use the term "math coprocessor" again, especially in 2020.

The math co-processor was a separate chip. I think I paid for it because reasons. I think the difference was the clock speed and maybe L1 cache.

Pretty much, but noone was really DIY until Pentium came out. We all had a tandy or Packard bell back then.

Nope, I built mine through a small shop in a strip mall. I paid like 750.00 for 16MB of ram most computers had maybe 1 to 2mb at the time. I had one of the first cdrom drives and a sound blaster card. I washed dishes on the weekend to make it happen. This was when I was just out of college or maybe still going? I'd go to computer fairs to buy and sell hardware and software. I had enough hardware to rip music to my
massive 125mb hard drive. We'd all wax poetic about the pocket size supercomputers We'd have eventually. Welcome to the future bitches.

I'm not that old but I grew up with a hand me down 286 and then a 386. I had to play games off of 5.25" floppies and 3.5" disks for that 286 and 386. My dad's work machine was a 486DX (33mhz boom) gateway machine for CAD. I remember when you used to download pictures and they would load so slowly it was like the picture was building itself dot by dot on the screen.
The screech of a 28.8k modem. I'd hate to think what is on some of the 3.5" disks that my mom found when she was cleaning out my old room.

I had a Packard Bell. I learned how to format floppies and hard drives with that pc, much to my parents' dismay.

I'd rather the NVME version without the lights, but that's just me.

1984 Kaiser: "What the **** is a 'hard drive'? In 1984 my 4.77MHz PC Jr ran on cartridges and had 128KB of RAM, which I upgraded to 384KB like a BOSS. I also replaced the cpu with one that was clocked 2x as fast, which I thought would be cool but in reality made games like Flightmare run unplayably at 2x speed."

^none of those things even make sense anymore, and I can't believe that in 4 years I'll have been using PCs for 40 ****ing years


EDIT: Holy **** I'm nostalgia'ing so hard.

The family's first PC was a TRS-80 back in 1978. I learned to look at game code of the text basic games I would play as an 8yo kid (Adventure) and gain a little insight into what I was looking for.

My dad upgraded all the components to Model 2 specs when they were released. His work gave him a 300baud modem, and my cousin and I would spend HOURS calling up other computer systems, trying to "hack" (guess?) our way into corporation and bank mainframes.

That all ended when we got a phone bill for calling outside our area code (not even 30 miles away)

The Trash-80 was replaced with a Morrow CPM based system, and that gave way to our first DOS based system with 4.77mhz. By then, modems had improved to 1200baud.
