Don't judge me lol
I used a razor knife and a hammer to delid my opteron, I replaced the dried thermal paste, but didn't glued the IHS back... I just use the cooler tension to hold the IHS🤣

Two of my favorite games of all time are lost in the IP ether. Fortunately they exist on the high seas but what I'd give for an official GoG release 🥹

Hurry up and grab it before it gets DMCA'd like so many other projects!

"Although there are other variants of the RTX 5090 chip, it has certainly not been discontinued."

I read this as:
'GB202-based add-in-cards are not discontinued; however, the "GeForce RTX 5090 32GB" is'

You've just died, the 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

Apparently, Microcenter has stopped selling them too. Since there's no official EoL either:
A. nVidia is 'silently' recalling them due to literal daily reports of the connector melting down.
and/or
B. US regulators are 'unhappy' with nV over the RTX 5090 being illicitly exported.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Not quite, but Outlaws (1997) by LucasArts was a crapload of fun. I always found the soundtrack and in-game music to be absolutely brilliant.

It was composed by Clint Bajakian (a LucasArts veteran who also worked on Monkey Island 2) and a nio Morricone’s western style: whistling, acoustic and electric guitar, choir, and harmonica. Check out the beautiful segment starting at the 58 second mark!

Sadly, it wasn't a big hit and the engine already looked dated next to Quake. It was a PC/Mac-only LucasArts shooter that was not Star Wars, and the FPS audience in 1997 was moving toward true 3D.

I still loved it for having its own charm, despite looking a bit dated.

3Dfx VoodooX Project -

Let’s see who can guess what I’m working on… 👀

Any ideas what project this PCB belongs to?

Yupe, it is based on 3Dfx chips. LoL

JGINYUE crams AMD's B650 chipset onto a $58 PCIe card with four M.2 slots and 20 Gbps USB-C port. 🔗 wccf.tech/1lbt9

TIL 'Stagecraft' has their own special snowflake power plugs/receptacles.

Intel Arc was not the first Dedicated Graphics Add-In-Card Intel ever sold. Admittedly, i740 predates 'The 1st GPU' GeForce 256, though. -ntm, I think Intel would prefer we forgot about its existence😆

🤣HAVE YOU FORM 1'ED YOUR RTX CARD TODAY??

There is but, it'd take a literal Act of God for them to ever sell anything they make to the consumer market.
