Yeah you’ve gotta click the update button and then press “y” to a couple of prompts that come up in a command prompt box. It should update the bios in like 30 seconds or less. Well Precision X1 is running the latest version, the motherboard bios is updated, Nvidia drivers are up to date, GPU vBIOS is new, and Rebar is running. No hiccups or weirdness. Feels good to have everything fresh and new, and be done with it. God bless.

I have a 3070 black on waitlist at 6:32 and I don’t think I’m gonna qualify for the grandfathered in price by April 16 or whatever.

So at the very least, a known scalper was denied a transaction at the Fairfax VA Micro Center while trying to check out. So SOME stores are following the new rules, at least. I honestly can't remember when I put myself on the Notify Me list for the Kingpin, but I'm sure it was after 12/20. I'd sell my 3090 FTW3 Ultra in a goddamned heartbeat, with only enough of a premium to cover tax and the extended warranty I got for it. >.> BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Apr 2, 2021 |

It's only a matter of time before ejecting one of these scalpers leads to a ruckus somewhere. I volunteer to dress up like a computer cowboy, deputize some dweebs, and roam from store to store, inflicting Verified Actual Gamer justice on some of these high-profile scalpers.

Some deserved levity in these trying GPU-shortage times: This is probably my favorite tech April Fools thing I've seen so far today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0frNP0qzxQc That is remarkably good prop construction for this bit. My favorite part is the -1 fps on 'your mom'

You would be better off taking daily pictures of the line and then showing the manager whenever someone shows up twice so they can be subject to additional scrutiny.

Anyway, from the numbers I'm seeing 3-5% increase in performance from rebar being turned on? I wonder how much industry update this is going to see.

Was excited to know they might get to the end of 12-1-2020 this month when I realized the last update was ... a while ago. Also a bunch of people getting skipped for some reason between 12-1 and 12-08

Upside is their customer support is awesome and they already shipped out my replacement - it's scheduled to get back to me on Saturday. Since 3080 XC3s don't seem to be in production anymore, I'm hoping I get lucky and they send me a FTW3 as a replacement instead. In the meantime I'm playing Vampire the Masquerade on my GT 710 lol mA fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Apr 2, 2021 |

There's legitimate concern about the 80Ti launch leading to violence. One of the Fairfax discord sub-mods is a Fairfax County cop and he said he's already raised concern with his Captain about potentially keeping a detail there for the launch date.

Decided to check ebay out of curiosity to see what my old 2070 XC Ultra is selling for. Lowest I saw after a quick search was $540 with the highest at $858 with 37 bids! This is a non-Super, too. Even with the stimulus checks how is that even worth it? At that point I wouldn't even bother with pc gaming anymore. Surely that money could go towards something better than a 3 year old GPU that most certainly won't hold it's value when the GPU market becomes less crazy.

Why would someone sign up to be a courier for a scalper instead of pocketing that poo poo for themselves and making all the money. Like imagine someone paying you $50 to stand in line for a $800 graphics card and then realize you can just tell that guy to gently caress off and get the $2200 or whatever the eBay price is
