Actually, my 2009 Mac Pro does that when I even wake it up from sleep. My lights will flicker and the cd drives will click and the hard drives spin up. I must say, the power supply in that thing is 950 watts, so it's pretty dang close to Linus'.

@Standard User Name for a very small free of one of my kidneys

[@agastyaparashar2941]

@Standard User Name damn, guess I'll sell some other body parts too. The laptops bottleneck very quickly because of the cooling. So the 30 series mobile are not even drawing out their full power. On top of that, you can't physically take out the graphics card since it is literally built in.

[@agastyaparashar2941]

@Standard User NameThe price is fairly expensive, and doesn't last that long, and its prime time where it performs the best is only about 2-3 years from once you've bought it. It's just not worth it to get a gaming laptop imo. I'd wait for about another year or 2.

[@agastyaparashar2941]

@Standard User Name I'd atill rather play with a console since games would be finely tuned for it, or a high-end pc, the only reason I see myself getting a gaming laptop would be because of the fact it's mobile. A pc would cost the same, and you could get more performance out of it, and it would last longer.

[@ericromano8078]

Man 15 years ago I was so excited for SLI, but never got a chance to get that 2nd card through multiple mainboards. Looking back, I'm glad I never spent the money.

[@PnPride]

@cpong I never could treat SLI seriously, for a 100% more investment you would have usually something like 20-30% increase in performance and not in every game.. seems like a waste of money for me.

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

2x GTX 690 (i.e. GTX 680 4GB, the EVGA FTW+ card) was probably the best scaling and also in the best era for SLI (2011-2015 games and all the SLI games that were released after the 8800 GTX like Crysis). GTX 680 SLI was between a GTX 970 and GTX 980 in performance, and GTX 690 SLI beats a GTX 1080 (non-Ti). The benefit of SLI had 2 primary reasoning back then: 1. A way for a gamer who invested $599 on an EVGA GTX 680 FTW+ in 2012 to invest only $300-400ish in 2015-2017 on a second EVGA GTX 680 FTW+ and reach the performance of a $549 980 or $599 1080 without having to invest in a completely new system, or more importantly: 2. A way for a gamer in 2012 to spend $1200 on the performance that no one else gets to experience for another half a decade. Basically become a god. Seriously, that's why people are paying $1300 for an RTX 4090 lmfaooo. You gotta pay for the best. You could 3-way SLI and even Quad-SLI the 600 series cards, and in that era (Witcher, Tomb Raider, Crysis, Arkham, etc.) the games did actually have good SLI scaling (as shown by Linus here in this video with Tomb Raider). So that was a magical time, indeed. Not to mention even if the game didn't explicitly scale that well with SLI, SLI still have you a ton of headroom when moving to higher resolutions or rendering SSAA. So, yeah 15 years ago when 8800 GTX SLI pioneered it and you got excited, the sweet spot was 11 years ago to 8 years ago. Sadly, that era is over, as nvidia would rather you buy a new $1000 GPU every other year rather than pick up a second 2-4 year old GPU. Shame really. The technology is where the future is as nvidia has been saying "Moore's Law is dead" and are trying to justify how overpriced/low performance some of their new cards are compared to expectations. Sounds like 2, 3, and 4 way SLI should be the future, but that doesn't maximize their bottom line. tl;dr if you can go back in time to the mid 2010s, try out the EVGA GTX 680 FTW+ 4GB (i.e. GTX 690) in SLI. Enjoy.

@@Erowens98 bad yields on samsung 8nm, that's why there is a supply issue

[@gorjy9610]

@@Erowens98 nvidia doesn't have "production capacity", they don't own a fabs. So there is few possible reason why you can't get these cards - they didn't order many at all (didn't book enough production lines), samsung have very low yields or as third nvidia make artificial shortage to pump up prices over their own msrp for some reason (higher manufacturing cost of cards than planned due high power demand or something).

[@gorjy9610]

@@Erowens98 samsung have enough of fabs to produce millions of units without issue. If someone order them and pay for manufacturing. So nvidia can buy more today and less tomorrow without anyone needing to spend more to produce more for short limited time, samsung will just switch these fabs to something else according to their schedule. And about monopoly...that will change in a month. Nvidia know that and that's why they go with lower prices this time. You don't need to be expert to know that if competition make cards on node with better yields, using cheaper memory (and with less chips with more narrow bus which give them advantage not just with price per GB but also with logistic cost) which use less power so need less expensive power management components and cooler so they can make cheaper cooling solution....with all that they card can be cheap. And even is it slower little bit if its cheaper hundreds of dollars they will sell better than your expensive product. That's main reason for price drop. Or you believe they are just good guys? Sure, today you can think people will buy them even for 1000, I'll ask you in one month will they still buy them for that amount.

[@gorjy9610]

@@Erowens98 fabs are not reserved days in advance and orders can't be changed on day to day basis, just look at problems AMD have for underestimated demand for 4000 series. That's just empty argument there, I'm not sure why it's so hard to you to admit that what you earlier say is BS. Or you just don't know how that business work? Maybe to go back to that "business school"? It's not about what I know, it's about what nvidia spies know. And price say everything, same as this pushed unprepared launch.

I need 6x 8 pin PCI Express connectors for my now a bit dated 2 Radeon Pro Duo cards. That's 4 GPUs. And where software actually is able to exploit them, they still deliver very decent performance. CyberPunk 2077 runs in 4K on only 1 GPU with most settings at minimum, as they don't support multiple GPUs, and while it's not very fast (around 30 FPS), it does work, so those were fairly decent GPUs. If they supported mutiple GPUs, the performance would be quite spectacular on my system. Given the graphics card shortage - which will probably last for a long time to come - I'd say game developers would be well advised to support multiple GPUs again. It would greatly increase the number of people who could enjoy their games.

That power draw is insane! I recently built a dual RTX 8000 / custom water cooled 3970x PC for an engineering firm that wanted to add Raytracing to their workflow. That PC would draw 600 watts of power just logging into Windows, and 1400 watts under load usually. They had to get a dedicated circuit ran and a 3000 VA UPS for it because it was tripping the breaker in the office it was installed in with the 2 4k screens + everything else. I took a lot of random pictures and videos of it when I finished it, I might make something out of the clips.

I would love to see what can be achieved ( even though I cannot afford it haha ! )
