Looks like an office building to me. Carpet, white walls, the texture of them, etc

I would agree except for the dorm room style mirror on the wall. I’m all in on bachelor pad!

Needs a minifridge that doubles as a side table.

How about parents’ converted garage?

Edit: Oh yeah, I’m still seeing office, you can even see the vinyl ā€œbaseboardā€ on the back wall.

It looks like he basically moved into an office conference room to me.

I’m going to guess that this is an IT guy who’s just about to use that gear to set up a meeting room.

Update on those rumours. lol 600W+, and I thought my undervolted 3090 was powerhungry.

I’ll get the card its own power supply if it buys me more FPS in MS Flight Sim!

(Ah, for the good old days when I just had to overclock my Pentium II 400 to get more frame rate in sims…)

A big external power brick like the OG XBox 360.

Just another thing to break.

Imagine the PSU you need for a i9-12900K and 4090, ~850W just for those two components.

I’m putzing aorund looking at new builds, and it seems like nvidia 3060s are slapped in an ATX case, whilst 3070+80s are always in E-ATXs. Do the latter need that big for space/airflow, or is it some kind of prestige thing that gamers with those cards want more impressive looking boxes? Googling seems to suggest it doesn’t need the extra size?

Most definitely not. I have a 3090 in a mATX case and it does just great.

So, we’ll finally get feasible, portable fusion reactors a la BattleTech–because we need them to power our gaming PCs!

@spiffy yeah, they are just seeking more expensive components with it. I have a 3070 in a mITX case.

Yeah people are managing 3080s and 3090s in ITX cases, though you have to be picky about vender/model and obviously very case dependent.

Dangit, I just bought a 1500VA UPS to handle my current GPU! 3000VA UPS’s cost like $700.

Anyway, multiple 3080s in stock at Newegg starting at $999. The GPU shortage is finally coming to its end.

Just in time for the next one when the Nvidia 4000 series ships.

nature is healing

just daisy chain them for infinite, perpetual power

The 4090 may be 600w and the 4080 450w or whatever, but I would expect the 4070 to be much lower power usage, probably 320w like the OG 3080, and offer 3080ti-ish performance. Traditionally for much less money but… yeah, no. The 4070 will probably MSRP at a thousand dollars, even assuming the GPU shortage is completely over.

I’d expect a price increase. But double the MSRP of the last gen? Probably not. Assuming the x70 will still be positioned as a budget enthusiast card. I was thinking more like $600-$650 MSRP, a bit more for the AIBs.
