Nice nascar pick Seb. The original nascar on PC was amazing. Mind bending graphics back then.

@57:40 I recommend that mouse at that price, which would be not only good for MMO games but also for certain sim games like Elite Dangerous. For once in my life, I can say that I agree with Brett. :P

@19:05 8GB VRAM IS NOT ENOUGH! Now you know why I will die on this hill.

[@ButtonPusher]

1st 4090 an Asus TUF. Corsair 1200 watt PSU, 12vhwpr connected to cable mod right angle adapter. Not enough width clearance in a Lian Li 011 XL case to close side panel with out right angle adapter directing gpu cable away from side panel. 6 months later 12vhwp cable melted and fused to the adapter. Cable mod told me to call asus since adapter was Inseparable. Contacted asus about it and mentioned a smoldering burning smell coming from the card. They freaked out, asked me numerous questions about a fire. Told Asus the Tuf model is a fire hazard, so they sent me a brand new Strix 4090. Zero problems since 2023 I still dont trust the 12VHWPR

VLC- Really think this is a good use of AI. Anything that increases accessibility is great IF it remains limited. (Don't need T800s with traffic cones for heads...)

I’m interested in a 5090 for the VRAM for ai image generation. I’m 30 and not really a gamer anymore but if I were to game I certainly wouldn’t want DLSS

I’m must not be the target audience here. As an old school gamer over 40 and more interested in how to use AI to automate some sort of money printing business, I’m scouring KZbin for how to get the 5090 and how to use the nvidia tools to make agents. This chat was very somber. Life is not over yet fellas!
