I disagree. Thinking that putting "RTX_" 12-19 times on an overly crowded graph is at all reasonable is simply a complete lack of proficiency in presenting data, and a lesser oversight in thinking things thru. Which is different from, say, gathering data (the reviews here are very good, imho!)...

nah, I'm saying it's unreasonable to ask software to compensate for arbitrarily unwise user choices. If you make halfway decent choices, consistent with sensible practices on how to present data, it works just fine. I'm trying to find a polite way to say it's not the software's fault that a user...

well, w/ unnecessarily long names u simply have more text than will fit if the graph size is small; that's just bad layout. There are several ez ways to mitigate that, several of which make it less work. A trickier-to-figure-out-one, but nice, is to actually get it to treat (as an example) nv...

both excel (easily) and librecalc autoplace the labels. I used excel since the dark ages, and it was always pretty trivial. I'm new to libre (retired in 2010 so I hardly use calc much now, tbh), but it still did it after about 5m of swearing :) Turns out it required the x axis to be sorted. I've...

is there a reason no one plots perf vs price in a scatterplot anymore? those used to be common ways to put gpu performance in context (waaay easier than jumping back and forth btwn lists of perf and price, and price/perf is a lot less clear to me for finding value in a price range)? the rel perf...

given the price and perf I'd think AMD is really gonna have to do something (let prices slide noticeably, or introduce new variants). There are enough "wins" here (perf, price, rt, dlss3, compute-ecosystem, etc) that (unless I'm reading things very very wrong) AMD is just largely noncompetitive...

yeah, I don't use rgb anywhere else, but being able to see the keyboard in low light is super helpful for me at times, and I knew I could just swap keycaps if needed (otherwise I wouldn't have gambled on the v1). It's not a huge deal, but it does entail another $15-30 purchase (unless u have...

Yeah, I just today got a keychron v1 with the same thing. The product page made it sound like the S facing LEDs would make the keys visible despite the opaque keycaps (spoiler: it doesn't. at all. the bright lights btwn keys just blind you making the unlit key faces even harder to see). I have a...

There are articles online (tom's, etc) that it's not just binning, but a number of actual changes including die size (with some speculation on why that might be, as that's not what anyone expected), mem bandwidth, etc. It appears to be a new (weaker, obv) derivative, and some speculate lower...

yeah, the esthetics on that seem really dated to me, but some folks like it. Looks like it belongs on green shag carpet from the 70s (you know the stuff; seeped in mold and dander, if it didn't kill you it made you stronger, right???) I do like fractal (am using an 10yr old Define r5 now and am...

buncha folks above saying "see this proves 16GB isn't needed!"...isn't it more that 16GB is wasted on this card given the very limited bandwidth for access said memory plus a low-mid gpu? putting 16GB on an old S3 or Voodo dgp prolly wouldn't do much either, to make an even more obvious (and...

lol, i'm just waiting for the NV and AMD to conclude that the dGPU market is dying rather than realizing their sales are tanking because they pushed crappy products at inflated prices. Not that the dGPU mkt isn't in decline; there are a whole lot of consoles out there these days. Price...

I suspect this whole rebranding fiasco is likely to be a quick case study in future MBA programs, of the "don't do this, it's stupid" variety. Not only does it seem kinda idiotic, and unnecessary, it hasn't been well handled (communicated). Maybe it's just me, and it's super sensible, super...

Lol, yeah, nothing says "dead game walking" better than this! handoff to someone else and corpos insist it has a long & bright future?? Might as well grab the shovels and start tossing dirt on the coffin now. Tbf, I haven't played it in years, some changes lost my interest, although the...

heh. I was thinking Admiral Motti from A New Hope ("now the ultimate powah in the universe!"), but yours is good, too!
