It's a miniscule market, but Bendigo in central Victoria, Australia might be interested in some Dragon GPUs. The city has three Imperial Chinese dragons. Loong (born 1892) and parading until 1970 is the oldest Imperial Dragon in the world. Sun Loong (New Dragon) paraded from1970 until 2019, at 100 metres long was the longest around at the time. In 2019 Dai Gum Loong (Big Gold Dragon) took over parade duties. At 125 metres, 410 feet long, he's the longest dragon in the world. During the gold rush of the 1850s, Bendigo was known as Dai Gum San. Big Gold Mountain. And yes, Bendigonian's are well proud of those three dragons. If you get a chance to drop by at Easter any year, come and watch the parade.

18:42 no, Notepad is not great. It is a bugged mess like the rest of Windows 11. The copy text function in Notepad is broken, it misses linebreaks, unless you move the cursor _exactly_ to the end of the previous line. And inserting text is broken too, as this messes up the font. The Tab buttons in maximized window mode don't extend all the way to the top of the screen so you miss them when moving the mouse to the top screen edge. And Notepad scrolls to random positions in long text files after AltTab.
So yes, Microsoft is too incompetent to write even a plain text word processor.

Thanks Steve....
Would I'd be possible to do a segment on component quality for the different manufactures. Graphics cards motherboards etc.
I ask because there is a huge delta between premium brands and unpopular brands.
Be good to see what corners, if any, are cut in the cheaper gear, vs maybe just paying for brand recognition.
Eg: (my region vat inclusive)
Asus strix 4090 $2550
Gigabyte windforce 4090 $2340
Palit gamerock 4090 $2090
Zotac gaming 4090 $1950
Also: notepad ftw!
Back to you Steve...

All the layoffs in the AAA gaming industry is a good sign, it's a sign that the corporate machine that the industry has become is failing. It's been a purely corporate money making machine for years, pushing out soulless products and destroying beloved franchises in the name of quick profit, so it's time for a repeat of the 1983 market crash. Palworld has proven that you can make a financially successful game if it's made to be fun and not to be a money printer, and the indie scene seems to be the future of video games.

They really should have just named it a 3040 or something, all its going to do is mislead consumers into buying an inferior product for not much reason.
As for the specs, I guess I cant complain much due to it being supposedly much cheaper than a normal new 3050 and I could definitely see some niche use for the people who retrofit Office PCs into gaming machines with that LP card.
(Not mentioning the used market ofc)

I wouldn't use word even if it was free. The only reason I use win is because of software lock in. Have you ever been on vacation and your word docs all lock into read only mode because it couldn't do a WEEKLY license check Microsoft is pure evil and hates their customers. We are hostages and not customers at this point. Their purchase of git is just another way to lock us to their ecosystem.

I realize someone would need to benchmark to be sure but based on the published specs would the 6GB 3050 not be likely very close to one of the APU's in performance Beyond Nvidia just selling bad HW to people who don't know any better why do those things even exist
Accidently That's a relief. I'm intentionally trying to create Skynet. I need a friend to play games with.

While i can see the need for a cost/fps it will get outdated so very quickly in current markets that it just seems too excessive an amount of effort from you guys to even warrant the time invested. While also completely being outdated and thus useless when a user needs to compare static vales like fps/Watt or even just a straight old-fashioned fps-fps chart.

Y does ytx even exist Nvm, the whole 'make the mobo just as long as the gpu' idea may make sense for some cases. It's just that plugging the gpu into the mobo directly really heats up chipsets and ssds unless proper precautions are taken, but then again they may move the chipset and m.2 slot locations away from the gpu area with this layout

If anyone has been considering buying the solder mat I can give it a two thumbs up. I bought one and it's been used several times already for a few quick tinker tasks. I also talked to it while building my latest server, because that's what you do when it's 11PM and you're waiting on Memtest to finish on a pile of RAM.

Honestly, I think this YTX mobo is amazing for compact builds. I would rather have 4 ram slots instead of that many m2 slots but I think it's a very good direction given the size of the largest component (GPUs).
I would love to see a few cases designed for this form factor, plus the backside connectors would be amazing.

YTX looks interesting, its not like anyone is really using the other PCIe slots outside of professionals, they cant anyway since graphics cards take up 4 slots and blocks them, and mainstream platforms barely have enough lanes to support additional devices without relying on the chipset or cutting the primary.

Cards in Europe are (for the most part) appropriately priced.. European prices include sales tax, US prices don’t. $999 msrp in the US cards having around 1100 msrp for Europe means they’re actually cheaper in Europe.. whether they do actually sell for msrp is a different story, but that happens everywhere.

Stap is spelled S T A H P Stahp.
Now, please tell me your thoughts on THACO.

Also I still find it amazing that Steve is able to finish up each story exactly at the, seemingly arbitrary, time limits.

2024 GPU market
Nvidia: lets inflate the market with 40 Series GPUs since AMD has nothing to compete with
AMD: lets drop the price of the 7900 XT to bring a high Vram card at budget cost for entry gaming
this year is full of nasty surprise, Jan just ended yet more news!
thanks Steve!

12:25 Did they drop the price Or did they hike the price on launch and left it there until there actually was competition for the card in its price range Potayto potahto, but I see this as a valid business strategy to remain relevant later in the lifecycle, while having higher product margins earlier on.

i've bought new 4070 Ti Super cheapest from gigabyte (880$), with my older 2070 Super it's quite valuble, power of 4090 for only 880 (yes second PSU needed, but i have already). Both cards very energy efficient, colder than tops, i may even downvolt both little combined.

At 40 years old, I can die happy thinking that I will one day stop playing games on the PC like my mom always wanted me to.
Because Im not paying Windows a subscription and Linux does not seem be there just yet.
Only Gabe and Proton may save me now.
