I don't watch Gamer's NeXus but it coaXed a chuckle from me. Congrats on the RX XTX by XFX. I'm guessing it'll be eXceptional and eXcel in gaming - possibly even be eXtraordinary.
Sounds like a job application for XTX marketing department.

Some pics, the MERC 310 was taken at the shop where my friend had gone to pick up the card for me (I really do have to buy him a great lunch for the effort when I get back). The pics of the card was taken at the shop he had gone to pick up the card early this morning (it was Thursday afternoon there):

The beast, being held by a staff member of the shop, it's pretty big, but relatively small next to the RTX 4080/4090


Some of the other stuff I may have mentioned, but I don't think I'd posted pics of yet. Leven JS600 4TB SATA SSD for my 2nd rig




Now is prolly as good a time to go 32GB especially when prices of DDR4 RAM kits are going for pretty reasonable prices/

A 5700G CPU.
WIth a VEGA8 GPU,individual GPUs is no longer essential,but only supportive when facing AI calculations.
And surely,faster deconding.

Dreamed PC...
3*8pin power supply?!Seems no need for extra warmth generration in winter.
Maybe a HDD is much more sutable for a large storage?Maybe poverty has strictly limited my imagination.
Are these thing going to part with a 13900K or 7950X?

Far from a dream PC, but it's definitely good enough for my usage scenario. I'll have two full AMD gaming PCs when I'm done (see system specs). I figured that though I'd be held back somewhat with the 5900X, I'd still be getting good enough framerate to keep gameplay smooth. Same goes for the R9 3900X + RX 6900 XT setup....

AMD YES.
As to be a AI researcher,a NV GPU is neccessary for me.I got a 20 core server years ago,but it dosen't performs good with games,even it got a K80 on it.
However,maybe cpus today are somehow "overperformenced",I got a 5300GE lastyear,combined with a 2080Super,Hitman II highest graphics options is ok on 100+ fps.
For jobs,it seems better to have a workstation or a server.But for gaming,is there anything better than a 7900XTX?

oh... well...

not a pair of Ultimate Ear Wonderboom 2 but they'll do just fine

25ish chf a piece and yes... BLT stand for Bacon Letuce Tomato

1671195595406.jpg
driver on each side it seems plus bottom and top "boomer" no waterproof IP like the wonderboom but for my use it's fine!

1671195595439.jpg1671195595429.jpg
yeah .... they are RGB (and music syncing for some modes, from what i saw 3-4 modes plus the obvious "off" mode )
1671195595423.jpg1671195595419.jpg
plenty connection BT5.0 USB-A (for USBkey/HDD) uSD card slot and Aux 3.5mm USB Micro for charging ... (*sadface* ah, i have enough cables of all sorts so, no biggies)

add that to two 3 months Spotify cards and i am fine until middle of next year

gift for the bike ... that thing came from the idea of a 17yrs young clever guy who 3D printed the prototype
1671195595477.jpg
so, my bike frame is not compatible with the mounting options, matter not

1671195595470.jpg1671195595462.jpg1671195595455.jpg
beat any saddle bag i could fit under the saddle, the bike lock i have fit right in, thus now when i don't want to carry a bag sufficient enough to carry the lock: perfect (plus i can put the lights in it to also avoid carrying them when i park the bike ) worry not i did correct the misalignement :laugh: (and changed the unlock code ;) )

now ... i just need some strong couble sided tape to afix the rear light craddle on the box :oops:

and i could make it more tech by adding ...
1671198430674.pngprodukte-solardeckel-usb-ports-2x_proc.jpg

yes, that's a cover that incorporate a 10k mAh powerbank and solar panel on each sides :laugh:

ahah, the Wonderboom (or all "boom") from Ultimate Ear also have the volume up and down placed like that ... it does indeed look like you say.

1671221562191.png

except the Hyperboom

tho i don't really care ... cross or anything religious hold no meaning to me ... (yeah, filthy heretic, although atheist but not agnostic )
ofc, people are free to believe, or not, in what they wish to ;)

Volume buttons.

With the music some people play, maybe an urn would be a better choice for them...
with the music i play sometime ... maybe i should hold the speaker upside down? (if i should trust the priest of the local church near the school i went to ... to him anything not church choir, organ music was the anthechrist work and should have been banned :laugh: he was a bit of an extremist on that subject, hehehe.)

Nah, just meant that their CD's should be publicly burned and the ashes stored in a urn as an example, due to their bad taste in music.

Decided it was time to retire my old Vega 56. Got a great deal on an XFX 319 Merc 6800 XT for 650€ (usually they're around 800€). Double the performance at the same TDP. Couldn't be happier! She's a beauty and stays under 65 °C under full load with OC and undervolt, crazy card for my 2560x1080 ultrawide. Next, I'll probably get myself the 5800X3D if they'll still be available :rockout:
Unfortunately my Vega burned through the power cable so no pretty white cables until I get new ones :roll:

It weighs in at around 2 kilos so I decided to give it a little support :laugh:

Merciless taskmaster, abusing those poor Lego dudes, I'm gonna report you! :p

Nice buy with that MERC 319 RX 6800 XT.....tho, that has got me thinking, why is the MERC 310 that I'd gotten a lower numerical designation? Shouldn't it be a MERC 329 or at the very least a MERC 320?

It as something to do with the fans, their numbers and their size ... but i don't recall the details :/
Like 319 tells 3x fans, 19 : 1x 9 cm fan

Decided it was time to retire my old Vega 56. Got a great deal on an XFX 319 Merc 6800 XT for 650€ (usually they're around 800€). Double the performance at the same TDP. Couldn't be happier! She's a beauty and stays under 65 °C under full load with OC and undervolt, crazy card for my 2560x1080 ultrawide. Next, I'll probably get myself the 5800X3D if they'll still be available :rockout:
Unfortunately my Vega burned through the power cable so no pretty white cables until I get new ones :roll:

It as something to do with the fans, their numbers and their size ... but i don't recall the details :/
Like 319 tells 3x fans, 19 : 1x 9 cm fan
So, that translate to :
3x fans, 1x 10cm fan? Basically means each fan is now 10cm in diameter, right?
Or, '310' = 3x 10cm fans and that's all to it, Bubba....
Or, '310' = 3x fans, since all fans are of the same size, the '10' denotes 1x 0 odd sized fan....

I guess only XFX can tell us....

I think for the RX 6800 XT, the middle fan looks to be 9CM, while the two fans on each side of it look bigger (assume they're 10cm)

Yeah, we won't see those again (wraith prism), at least not in a CPU boxes... They're cutting costs everywhere.
