Yeah, the 4GB extra VRam is a handy thing, though I'm not sure it translates into real world performance benefits when it comes up against AMD's "infinity cache" and other technological advancements. I'll wait for Tech Jesus to do his productivity benchmarks and deep dive before making that call.... He's also an MTBer, so he can stay. Also, the 6900 has a boost clock of 500MHz higher!!! That's HUGE. Oh. 3090 is the new 2080Ti. It's their top end enthusiast card. The people claiming it's a Titan are misinformed, and sadly that's been highlighted in the tech review space, too. "Titan Class Performance" is just marketing speak. It's not a Titan. It's still a GeForce card. It still runs GeForce drivers.

ja, look. The 1080ti is still a beast of a card, and I'll never be buying the 6800 / 6900 / 3080 level cards. It's just far too much for my modest needs. No rigorous encoding, rendering, streaming or anything. I just wanna have a decent system for another few years.

AMD coming out with some Grade A ass-whoopin. Intel struggling to get over the 14nm restrictions, and thinking that because they're intel, they'll always be better. NVidia fanboys struggling to see that the 3090 isn't a Titan, and it's USD500 more than the equivalent AMD card. Honestly, for the end user it's a bloody carnival. Any way you look, you're gonna get good stuff. It's just that it's not as cut and dried as it used to be. And Team BlueGreen fanboois can't handle that. The Team Red Fanboois know that all too well, and there's nothing sweeter than an underdog trollfight, to some people. Having said that, I've always been an AMD fan. Heck, I suffered loooads for it when I built my system (FX8320 & HD7970 3GB) which was slow compared to intelvidia of the same time, but I just couldn't spend my cash on the big bluegreen. It felt wrong, after all their corporate shenanigans. Plus, the name AMD just appeals to my childhood Micromachines obsession. Damn, I wish those were still a thing....

bahahahahaha Team Blue Green is getting their behinds whipped. Team Red finally has their day in the sun, again. Fanboys on both sides not prepared to acknowledge the facts. Intel, up until now, has been THE choice for gaming. As had NVidia. Now, not so much. I cannot wait to upgrade.

ooooooooooooh..... STEAK. Those look like bloody good t-bones!

Exactly.

He was on form! Old Kimi, showing what he can do. I really wish he had a good car beneath him. His wheel to wheel racing craft, and respect for other drivers was something to behold. Can you imagine him taking it to Hamilton?

Mine were NFS, NFS2 & Underground. Getting the viper around the desert track (Willow Springs?) and the desert road track was the challenge

Also, hesx not nowhere. KTM just haven't developed as efficiently as the likes of yam and suz, imo. He made up, what, 4 places last weekend? Ahead of Aleix, etc.

**25k GBP excl shipping etc. We're not in 1998 anymore, unfortunately

oh my. It's worth more than that if it's shipped to the USA / Europe.

What a race. 9 positions up by each! Binder in 11th, looked like he could have gotten a top 10 with a few more laps.

????????????????

I'd say Chris King

That last lap was excellent

Yeah. My favourite one was a deep blue galaxy. Normal size, but just looked mega cool. So much so that I never played it after I'd won it. ????

Goons were the biggies Ironies were the larger ball bearings, and steelies the smaller ones, iirc. Then you get galaxies, cats eyes, swirlies, pearlies etc etc.

Getting back into Vikings. I dunno why I stopped.

The 30 day bundle for R 5,210 is bloody decent. That's less than you'd pay for the rent alone to have enough space for a small selection of tools.

Ye. Annual check. You get 150 points per month that your check is valid for. Oh oh. I got you now. Slow brain day. ???????????? I dunno, mate. But it must be. The vitality drive isn't my bag, don't really deal with short term.

I don't think so. I just think that the VD points are valid for a 12 month period, so you only have to do your next check in October next year. Remember VD is monthly points, not annual.

nah, not a mission at all, unless you want to max out on teh bank points, the vitality drive points and so on. If you just want to enjoy the benefits of Vitality, it's simple as pie.

No,no need for cash on there all the time. Same ish fees, better benefits. It's well worth the swap.

No. You don’t need to have a DB account to get good vitality rewards. They’re still there. The DB account just gets you better ones, like the disc card did, before. No changing goal posts. Vit rewards have always been enhanced with the presence of other Disco products. Garden variety vitality is still as good as it’s always been, and you aren’t suddenly getting worse benefits if you don’t have a card.
