512Gb Samsung SSD 970 PRO for the operating system
6 x 4TB of spinning rust as the main storage (ZFS pool)
4 x 224GB Toshiba SATA SSDs and 2x Samsung SATA SSDs as ZFS “special” cache.
AMD ATI Radeon Pro WX 5100 with 5120x2160, 3840x2160 displays
Topping DX7s for music connected to a M1060 headphone or a Yamaha soundbar (am I about to be banned?).
This isn’t for games (although it does that half-way well); to give a hint I’ve been running John the Ripper solidly for about 2 weeks (pegging all cores at 100% constantly). There’s also an ancient Macbook Pro (from work), two old ThinkPads, and a more modern Xiami mini laptop. All except for the Macbook run Linux, although there’s a few Windows VMs on the main machine.
I’d be very nervous about using compressed air because it’s not just air, and it’s very variable. I’ve heard some horror stories amongst the photographic community about camera sensors being damaged. I’d stick to a rocket blower (a handheld/pumped blower shaped like a rocket) or an air blower.
Well the prices seem to be a bit better than anticipated.
3080 for $699, 3070 for $499. Still expensive, but if there’s a nice bundled game I dunno… I mean… Who knows…
Only the 3090 has the 12pin. The GPUS are miles better than 2000. Announced DLSS 2.0 Some broadcaster stuff and machinae stuff too. And something that makes the GPU interact with the storage instead of CPU to increase load times, similar to PS5. And some other stuff for reduced latency in games.
I see what youre saying with price. As someone who builds 1 pc to last 5 years + the 3090 is something i crave but man is it more expensive than i imagined, but as expected as it was said its really replacing the titan. Looks like its time to wait for the suplimental “super” or “ti” cards. Or the inevitable amd announcements that shake pricing a little.
But if the 3070 does indeed pass a 2080ti for less than half the price then its very interesting.
I just feel there is a big performance leap forward here due to 20xx series cards being a bit mehhhh
Yeah obvisously wait for benchmarks but all im saying is it looks good Also the cards comes with adapters anyway so no need for the new psu’s. But people will buy them XD
Vaseline on screen-mode was fun the first time round. Let’s hope they improved on it.

Yeah fxaa off always even if i have to break a config for it. More and more like to sneak bad aa with a general post processing option or just forcing it and its eye cancer.
At 1440p aa is much less needed and soon resolutions may be high enough we can trash the smudgy options 100%
