You can check the spot price of GDDR6 it’s nit that expensive. Also valve most likely secured their supply contract and final specs a while ago.

There is no excuses for this.

They really dropped the ball with only 8gb vram, it’s not like GDDR is expensive.

As a deck owner, it’s not that powerful, you’re never going to drive it at full settings on most modern games, so the size of the vram does not matter all that much.

Also, the GPU already does the cache work itself if the vram is full anyway, and GDDR is much faster than regular DDR, which is why you see stuttering on 8gb GPUs when texture resolution is pushing the limits.

With the spot price if GDDR6 modules it’s frankly disappointing to only see 8gb.

Plus, add in the fact that FSR/DLSS models take up valuable vram size to work for framegen and stuff, it reduces even more the availability for actual data.

Use Bazzite, or ChimeraOS if you do’nt care about desktop mode

Bulk pricings has increased sure, but not to the extent consumer price did. Capitalism, ho!

How much jank are you willing to deal with?

I’m a bit concerned about the vram situation. 8Gb is not a lot nowadays, particularly if you start adding stuff like ai framegen and stuff which these types of machines tend to need further down the line.

An extra 8gb wouldn’t have killed the profit margins.

I need a controller that can tell how hard I am mashing the buttons and games reacting appropriately.

There’s also no way to guarantee that an AI car’s sensors are working and not returning a ‘there is currently no pedestrian on the crossing ahead and the speed limit here is 500kph, full speed ahead!’

I guess we fundamentally disagree on the effectiveness of DEI policies at the workplace.

I will admit I was mistaken, I forgot the quarterly company wide corporate email asking employees to not be openly racist at work.

Truly solving inequalities, one middle manager asking you to sign that you’ve read the email at a time.

The problem isn’t that there isn’t smart women and minorities, they exist. They’re just crushed by the system. DEI won’t solve that. DEI won’t women and minorities the resources to achieve their dreams, DEI won’t give handicapped people access to a better life.

DEI is a bandaid on a festering, maggot filled wound. People slap it on and are like “wow, what a good job”, and it drives me crazy.

Social studies are about worth as much as the paper they’re written on. 60 years ago studies said black people were inferior. In 60 years it’ll be something else. They always match the era they were made in.

The only true solution to inequality is actual action against the cause of inequality, not some feelgood quarterly corporate email asking employees to not be openly racist at work.

DEI is nothing more than an acceptable form of racism.

Hiring people to meet quotas does not make a society better and does nothing to fix the root cause of inequalities.

Free access to quality education, healthcare and funding higher education for the people who can’t afford it is how you fix things for the better. This is the future and good.

DEI is the equivalent of a small band aid over a putrid, gaping wound.

I mean… I’d take that offer for sure.

Because fuck you.

• middle management.

NGL if you have the money, a Watercooled bed is amazing.

Getting one that doesn’t work through the internet though, good luck.

The machine I have to use at work was updated to windows 10 two months ago. One of the software we use for our job is hosted on a VM running Windows 98.

I have yet to use an alternate search engine for any length of time (and i’ve tried a few) and think “ah yes, this was the kind of results I expected from my search”, they’re systematically worse than google, which is an incredible achievement, considering how absolute garbage google is nowadays.

Brave, which i’m using now, is atrocious with that. The amount of irrelevant bullshit it throws at you before getting to the stuff you are actually looking for is actually incredible.

I rolled my eyes so hard I sprained my optical nerve.

Other search engines are even worse than Google lmao. Brave consistently provide literally the worst results. Duck duck go same.

Are you actually serious.
