Quoting: slaapliedjeCPU is a fair improvement (per core) on the ps4(pro)'s, but the integrated gpu is not even close and even then likely to be strangled by memory bandwith and temperature restrictions. A $150 price point would have been reachable for any credible console manufacturer.Quoting: M@GOidThey cornered themselves badly with those prices. $390 bucks is PS5 money, and a XB Series S is $300.From my understanding, the Atari VCS is somewhere spec wise between the PS4 and PS4 Pro. There is no way they could sell it for 150. PS4s are still selling for 300-400. (Okay, just checked Amazon, some of the bundles are 640!)
They need a $150 price tag fast or this thing will be a collectors thing in a couple months.

From the openrgb page:
If you have a project or product that is compatible with OpenRGB, you may use the above OpenRGB Compatible badge on your project/product page.Is there any manufacturer that officially supports openrgb and/or displays the compatibility badge? Bonus points for one that is actively engaged in openrgb development.

Imo, the lack of space for an ssd (either sata or m.2, or even integrated like in the compute module) is a bit of a missed opportunity, especially for the advertised daily desktop use.

Quoting: robvvHeh, I've set up a virtual machine with Ubuntu 8.04 with the sole purpose of running 4 of Grubby Games' games. Among those is Professor Fizzwizzle, a game I bought in 2005(!). I got tired of ubuntu's 32bit compatibility libraries breaking their sound support at every new release.Quoting: damarrinThat was my impression as well. The only problem if it's not updated at all is it's going to stop working sooner or later.That's the case will nearly all games, though. However, Linux users do have a way of resurrecting older software!

Coincidentally, this will also give board partners an opportunity to test for instability like the one the 3080 shipped with.

Quoting: GuestUT is (mainly?) multiplayer, is it? The GOG page says it also has a single user mode. Any comment on the quality of that one?Single player is the multi-player against bots.

Quoting: tuubiThat's part of it.Quoting: emphyYou mean how the price axis starts at $200?Quoting: The_AquabatThat is just a consequence of 2080ti's price. For the marketing trick you need to be at the other side of the graph. I'll leave it for you to discover; it's quite subtle.Quoting: bisbyxcompared the 3070 to the 2080ti, then compared the 3080 to the 2080 (non super). They primed your brain so when you hear "twice as fast" you think "twice as fast as the 2080ti"... Even though 25% faster than the 2080ti is exactly what their graph (shown in the article) roughly says.interesting I didn't notice the 2080ti at first glance they put it like in furthest part of the graph another marketing technique here??

These cards are all way out of range of what I consider to be acceptable pricing, no matter how good the performance.
What's much more interesting to me is that the rx5700xt numbers are not all that much behind in the reviews (price/performance ratio) and that I am already seeing those cards in the used market for *very* reasonable prices, which I expect to get even more tempting in the coming few months.

NVIDIA confirms $40 billion deal to buy Arm

Quoting: BumadarNot much will change in the short run, long run this is bad, licenses will be changed by nvidia as they now both own arm and will get more arm devices themselves and thus compete with the same people they sell licenses to. I guess risc v no longer sounds as bad for a lot of companies.There is also the potential for abuse of arm's market position by linking gpu licensing to arm.
