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.

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. https://www.kitguru.net/components/g...g-controversy/ Original Post on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/co...tm_term=j6idky |

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 |

$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.

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.

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'm hoping there's a decent Black Friday sale on the 2tb version of this. |

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. |
