Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

It's actually hard to make LEDs that DO give off UV light, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

The memory sticks used in those are the G.Skill Trident Z that is super popular and I've used for several years before selling a couple months ago. Don't see any damage to my backplate, but I use a full sized ATX and those motherboards look like mATX with how close the PCI slot is to the RAM.

My wicked rig has rgb, it's the first time I've ever used it.

Was surprised to find there still isn't a standard and whatever you buy is going to have it's own ecosystem, and even after that you're gonna have to mix them up because you just will. It's pretty much as dumb as normal cases look when they don't have killer rays.

Those rumored 5080 specs are an insult compared to a 5090. I guess nvidia wants everyone to buy the 5090 instead.

hard to see what it'd even involve, unless it's some abhorrent low-latency generative ai accelerator for games for assets, shaders, and character models

run multiple models in an ensemble for better accuracy, maybe?

learned optimization on shader order and memory layout and pipeline scheduling per game?

physics prediction to optimistically precalculate parts of upscaling/TAA?

there’s other stuff like speech recognition or synthesis that they could do on the GPU too, if course

dlss feels like it's already close to being too overloaded a term for people to wrap their heads around, especially with 3.0.0 versioning being different from dlss 3. people associate dlss 3 with frame generation, so i wonder how they're gonna approach naming

Very good point. It is misused confused and conflated a lot. And that's by people who have at least a rough idea about this sort of thing.
I'm surprised that nvidia haven't split it up a bit more and branded the gently caress out of each part tbh. All in time maybe.

Feels like that's intentional. If you market DLSS as a vague ball of cool stuff instead of the individual features then you can train the market to seek out DLSS, not the features. That makes it harder for other vendors to compete because they can't offer the specific buzzword DLSS. Even in a scenario where AMD matches what Nvidia is offering, if people have learned to associate DLSS with premium features then they may still perceive an advantage for Nvidia hardware.

I would point out that those are rumored specs for Blackwell gb202 and gb203 dies, not particular products. There would be nothing stopping them from basing both a hypothetical 5090 and 5080 on 202 in different configurations, for example. Not that they will, necessarily but there is little to go on even if rumors are correct.

Even the 5090 they are speculating will be cut down, not full fat 202.

it's pretty safe to assume the flagship will be cut down, the last time they did a fully unlocked consumer card was... pascal i think? and that was titan branded

Doubly so given the current insane loving bank they're making selling enterprise hardware for LLM etc. The last thing they want to do is undercut that business with a consumer card that is, relatively speaking, dirt cheap.

3090 Ti was full die, and Titan RTX was the full die Turing

I'm skeptical of a 512bit bus with 32gbps GDDR7 for a consumer part. That would be double the bandwidth of the 4090 for a comparatively smaller increase in SMs. When the 4090 is completely unchallenged at the high end (and rumors suggest AMD and Intel don't have anything for it even next gen), why go that big? For AI land, makes a lot of sense, but not sure it makes much sense right now in consumer. I'm expecting a cut down for sure.

tfw you're peeing next to someone in the lineup and they don't know
It's possible that the spec rumors are real but either portend a large price increase, or maybe even a new SKU at the tippy top high end. That kind of thing happens fairly regularly in the Apple rumor mill, where you see some super-premium rumor and then it turns out it's a brand new sku.

It would be surprising if the 5090 was less than $1999. The thing is, with the way price sensitivity basically goes infinite at the top end, it's not a giant stretch imo to think that they might do a 5090TiMaxxx for like $2499.

The market is just in such a weird spot right now, and Nvidia rules the world, at least for the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if they attempt to extract even more from the consumer...

e: sometimes I just wonder how it feels being Jenson right now. He has to be the smuggest dude on the planet. If life is a video game, Jenson is the current protagonist.
