Helping make GPUs faster, hobby semicon/FPGAs and too much Minecraft. Opinions are my own, nowadays I mostly rant. Also on

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

Well, here goes nothing, sometimes to move forward you have to leave some things behind.

From now on I will no longer be making chip annotations and will only be contributing to media in limited capacity. Minecraft testing TBD, but for now on hold too.

Thank you all! 😉

@acanthi13 A fancier USB switch

Traditional switch: All USB ports switch between computers, so all devices always on the same PC.
Matrix: Arbitrarily assign any port to any computer.

So I can keep my audio interface on PC1 while switching keyboard and mouse to PC2 with just one remote/box

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

Why did I not buy a USB matrix earlier, this is awesome.

Replaced a pile of USB switches and half a dozen cables with one box and... well, still half a dozen cables but they are much better organized since they all run into one box and don't need to be manually re-plugged...

Can't even pay @YouTube anymore even if I wanted to.

(Trying to join a membership for a channel to give them some money)

@realcouri Since you said you like these.

Amusingly despite there being a huge surface exposed cave system all around it, I don't think any of it connects to the stronghold. So only the surface exposed starter in the river does.

Tested and it was 1.17.1, ignore the 1.16 in pic.

Windows Hello requiring IR cameras and LEDs and then proceeding to literally never work without good ambient lighting is just sad.

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

Nevermind that last tweet. @RegioJet is actually blocking port 1337 and my SSH just so happened to be set on that on my servers, works fine on port 22.

Still, quite bizarre. What uses port 1337/TCP that would warrant being blocked?

@LupintheI @Kknewkles @highyieldYT @hardwarecanucks "Working" for STXH is a stretch and "Broken" for GB10 is also a stretch.

NVIDIA at least fixed the display issues with a quiet respin, AMD didn't bother fixing their broken video encoder.

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

@Kknewkles @highyieldYT @hardwarecanucks StrixHalo, now with 192GB of memory at the top config. Literally nothing else here, its just a basic rename refresh just like the rest of the Ryzen AI 400 lineup.

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

@highyieldYT @hardwarecanucks The bigger issue here is the joke of a GPU that Strix/Gorgon has.

Power efficiency is atrocious too but I won't draw too many conclusions since we haven't seen RTX Spark there yet.

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

@TDevilfish @riklaunim @highyieldYT That's the 64GB STXH config ;)

@highyieldYT @oxyg3n1us They do call it that, it will just first be included in the DLSS package with the release of DLSS 5.

Legacy name that doesn't fully represent the package nowadays? Yeah sure, but it stuck around. "GPU" is not a representative term nowadays either but its what we are used to.

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

8960 CUDA cores + 192bit bus at 70W PL = 1.2-1.3 GHz under gaming load, 0.8-1.1GHz under heavy compute loads.

Amusingly it holds 1.8GHz with a raw FMAC rate test (gets 33 TFLOPS), goes to show how power hungry data movement is vs compute in modern electronics.

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

So which is it NVIDIA, is the whitepaper lying?

I'm guessing the ECC is actually always there, but RTX PRO cards actually get the reporting wired out to software while on GeForce it is silent?

Odd the whitepaper explicitly says no need for a toggle and then it's there...

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

This is amazing oh my god PNY

Padding not sized correctly for the GPU.
The box is generic for even last gen and they just put a product name sticker on it.
Manual is for Ada/Ampere generation.
AMD Epic not Epyc!

Absolutely zero fucks given with the packaging, I respect it, damn

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

@Patrick1Kennedy Aw, thought this could be funny to throw in my laptop since the GPU only has 8GB - not with that power consumption lol

Not totally awful performance for what it is though

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

@Patrick1Kennedy 24GB of memory? Or is it double-sided for 48GB? The latter would be quite interesting in that formfactor tbh

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

I think I can finally stop flooding everyone's timeline with Amazon crap - refund confirmed (for original amount, so still over a grand short of a new 5090).

Though of course they have to go out with a bang - support guy straight up told me I am free to sue them if I wish to.

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

Yeah I noticed.

No I won't contact your shitty customer support any more than I already did, you have heaps of chat logs and a very angry email to still reply to @amazon :)

[Nemez @GPUsAreMagic]

Aha, finally something noteworthy.

Quite a "coincidence" to finally get an update on the RMA after weeks of silence right as I sent a very long email listing out all the issues and threatening legal action.
