    petrol stations price discussion (was ‘chaos’)

    Can't see oil prices not massively spiking on Monday.

    Google is killing off its VPN service...best alternative?

    Problem is most people use VPNs to also spoof location. Google didn't allow you to do that. So I always just used Surfshark on phone, which works just as seamlessly on Android. Cost me like £20 over 2 years after cashback, also dirt cheap.

    £25 a week extra on my state pension

    That's also how all benefits work. If I claim unemployment benefits then other people's taxes will pay for it. My taxes are paying for others now. If I fall ill and I need expensive healthcare, then I will get free healthcare a a nice benefit, because other people are paying taxes. Whilst I'm...

    £25 a week extra on my state pension

    Because of where it comes from. It comes from other people's taxes.

    The Greatest GPU of all time

    https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-980-ti.c2724 In their most up to date rankings it shows up as +67%. 980 ti is 10% behind the 1070, so my memory was a little hazy there. The 1080 ti was not anywhere close to double the 1070, more like +50%. Eitehr way, well short of +130%.

    The Greatest GPU of all time

    1080 ti was not double the 980 ti. 980 ti = 1070 The 1080 was also the card released initially (with 1080 ti coming quite a bit after), and that was not double the 980 either. For both we are talking more like 50-60%. Pascal was a die shrink with higher clocks of the previous generation. Not...

    The Greatest GPU of all time

    From someone a little older than Steve Burke. https://youtu.be/ykDuoq-MpHg?si=hdiedNDFBLr_JaA2&t=377 They have a graph they use showing gen on gen increases, and the 8800 gtx wins by a mile. The 6800 ultra was a leap for nvidia, but they didn't have the fastest GPU of the generation before...

    The Greatest GPU of all time

    I think the 8800 GTX was more important. It was so good they rehashed variants of it about 10 times. Problem is it pre-dates gamersnexus.

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Noticed the 4090 is £1519. Is that up from £1499? I can't remember what it was before. edit: Down from £1579, although the drop happened ages ago. I just didn't know, probably because I never saw it in stock.

    Locksmith Cost

    Wow that just makes me even more angry.

    Locksmith Cost

    Haven't learnt my lesson. Had to use a locksmith for a second time (different place). Apparently my lock is a "high security lock" and so isn't the basic call out rate of £60 inc VAT to get in. Cost me £100 last time. £190 this time to get in plus fitted lock. 90% inflation in 11 years? Sorry...

    GPU running at x16 1.1 4070ti super

    What resolution? At below 4k high/max I would expect a bottleneck. Also I assume he is not running with vsync or anything. Given how old the CPU is, I assume the cooler isn't now caked in dust and thermal paste has been reapplied, to avoid unnecessary CPU throttling. 9900K is now old. Wasn't...

    Mc Donalds Monopoly! Anyone have Mayfair or Park Lane??

    This has got to be a record. Although might be a bot.

    Wow, what a scam. That is obscene.

    4090 vs 7900xtx re-test, who has aged like fine wine?

    Always been a myth. AMD just do a better job at marketing their driver gains by giving some of their releases special names. Both AMD and nvidia have games where they perform abnormally poorly, which they fix over time.

    Using 12V HPWR to power 3 x 8 Pin PCIE 7900 XTX

    That's on the PSU side though. Corsair can design that side however they want. PSU manufacturers often build that side to accommodate cables which split into 2 x PCIE 8 pin from a single connection. Or in your case using 2 of them into a 600W 12vhpwr connector. It won't be a standard PCI-E...

    Using 12V HPWR to power 3 x 8 Pin PCIE 7900 XTX

    They split into 2 x PCIE on the other end though. They dont try and push 300W through one connection. An EPS 8 pin for example does support 300W. So it is possible on the PSU side using a custom pin out (or even just EPS). Or in the OPs case a 12vhpwr connection. But if that terminates to 3 x...

    Using 12V HPWR to power 3 x 8 Pin PCIE 7900 XTX

    Much better. Yes I was doubting their existence outside of some random Chinese manufacturer. Looking at the leads, it looks suspiciously like a 3 x 8 pin to 12 pin. Looks like you plug in 3 x 8 pin.

    Using 12V HPWR to power 3 x 8 Pin PCIE 7900 XTX

    And you trust a cable where the manufacturer isn't even willing to put their name against it? A 450W cable MODDIY are selling sourced from a random in China. edit: Just noticed they've called it 600W. An 8 pin PCI-E cable only officially supports 150W.
