abandon all hope (and stuff)



 
Banks and small businesses, rejoice, for thou shalt inherit the earth 

Bye-Bye, video card. I never knew ye.
6700/3070 are toilet-class; yet 3070 looks doable, but for the money, 3080/6800 look like they're less remorseful ("damn, I coulda had a v8", etc)

If you only had that table to go on, if you're richer than Caligula, The answer would be clearer.
Richer than Caligula doesn't mean you could find a card, but if you did, at three-times MSRP, uh...
(I always fail at math)
  • 1. find a card that exists
  • 2. Find a card you can afford that exists, that is meaningfully better than what you've got (which is NOT the 6700)
  • 3. Compare its price to what else is available...an overpriced 6900 might be fine, a 6800 (no "xt") might be great, but if all's you can buy is a 6700 cuz they exist, wait a bit.
  • OTOH I'm GPU obsessed, *cobwebs* grow faster than...uh...my computer will be out-of-date, EOL'd, before they have anything affordable + decent
(Prolly better to wait a bit anyway)

Fatcats who want to lower their taxes take umbrage at the notion that they are not allowed to (until 2024) 
but to hear them tell it, we're all under communist dictatorships, it's so onerous.
I erased my synopsis...professional spinners have me beat. 
What we don't know (cuz we weren't there) is what was actually said behind closed doors.
Help the poor 
(Ease up on the rich)

Unrelated but topical, True:https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/jackson-mississippi-has-water-crisis-because-our-state-legislature-has-ncna1259819(It's complicated but it is interesting)

. Excuse my dust, under construction.

Study this group of pictures carefully, a TBA is coming.


OK (ahem) Who does this picture remind you of, why is it so different than the above pics???


Speaking of faces, is "Conan o Brian" in death-stranding?
it's a failed comedian in an otter costume.
