Jim Murray thought it was worth a 95 three years ago, can you describe what you think changed?

Dunno why an observation of fact deserves downvotes... I think this gets a pass because 1) the only brand non-watch people know is Rolex…

I think PCIe SATA cards is our future

I just had a flashback to "RAM doubling" software

Generative AI finally has a use!

890 m² is a circle about 34 m across

The [Spark 950](https://www.myride.com.au/products/scott-spark-950-2023) is where it gets interesting. You get a *lot* more quality for the…

MyRide is owned by the Australian Scott distributor which suggests that every Scott dealer should be able to offer these prices. The site…

SX is the cheese grade entry level range that exists purely so they can say a bike has 12 speeds. You're better off with literally any…

You're in Luck! It has SRAM SX Eagle, which is enough to put anyone off SRAM for life.

Great platform, *very* basic parts spec, but finally a reasonable price for what you get. If Scott sold this frame only it would cost more.…

Assuming I haven't misunderstood you, the 9070's power ceiling is 220W while the 5070's is 250W. In gaming workloads they tend to be within…

Compared to a 9070, the GPU uses about 25% less silicon and the card has 25% less RAM. It's priced the way it is only because it says…

More or less just as good in gaming on Windows, save for a few exceptions where Game Mode isn't working to prioritise the X3D cores…

> *The GPU price gets lower and lower.* Somewhere else, presumably

So is 20GB, I would have thought!

I got an RX 5700 for less than $500 five years ago so yeah, "modern" prices are pretty difficult to swallow.

That's a lot more overclocking headroom than I expected, thanks for the tip

It depends on your workloads. This has better raw performance and the extra RAM gives it more longevity. If what you're doing is compute…

That's fascinating, considering a 9070 is 7/8 of a 9070 XT even if you match clock speeds. Is the real XT hitting a thermal limit or…

Cheers!

The "Radium PCs Parts Clearance" URL goes to a page that says "This preview link has expired"

On average this is about 10% faster than the plain 5070

For your ~20% extra money the XT offers about 10-15% more performance but draws 30-40% more power in the process.

Fossil is kind of a weird halfway point between pure fashion brands and "genuine" watchmakers in that they do contract work for a lot of…

It's the Mille for the masses. Now the everyman can also afford abject taste.

And an 8213 (3Hz) movement when the 9000 series exists...

I think they'd be too stunned by the concept of a wrist device that simply tells the time

Which in this case is a good thing because the GRE sits below the 9070 (and not even officially available outside China, for that matter)
