"How did the world end, Grandpa?"

"Well, it all started with this fucking gorilla."

I mean, he's also legally obligated not to rape people but that doesn't seem to bother him.

It generates an answer that looks correct. Actual correctness is accidental. That's how you wind up with documents with references that don't exist, it just knows what references look like.

against two weaker GPUs (the 3060 and 2060 Super) where the new card would be sure to win.

IIRC they also insisted multi-frame generation be used, which the 3060 and 2060 Super don't support. That's why the 4060 isn't allowed, it does support MFG and it'd sink the plan to inflate 5060 benchmark results with fake frames.

The specific games using specific settings at 1080p bit is because in 2025 they have to carefully choose scenarios that won't overflow the tiny VRAM of the cards and tank performance to below the level of the 3060 12GB.

Shout out to Hardware Unboxed for getting a 5060 review done at Computex with some amazing B-roll

Mine got upgraded to a full meg.

If you have an 8GB GPU that's a few years old, it's probably doing okay-ish. It probably doesn't have the performance to really suffer from VRAM limits and you don't game with things like raytracing or ultra detail settings turned on because the GPU isn't fast enough for those things anyway.

My Vega 64 had 8GB VRAM and that was fine.

If you buy one of the new GPUs with 8GB though, the VRAM is a huge problem. You have the GPU power to have all the features turned on, but you're going to see real performance crippled because it overflows VRAM.

Longevity is the other issue - when games released in 2025 run like ass on your 8GB GPU from 2017, you won't be surprised. Bad performance from an 8GB GPU that released in 2025 for $500, that's a problem.

I'm seeing games today regularly hitting 11 GB, and that's without raytracing or frame generation which require more VRAM.

The new 8GB GPU Nvidia just launched is a trap. It exists to trick people into buying a GPU that they'll need to upgrade next year.

chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing

Don't forget repeating the question over and over again. If my question gets rephrased four times in the first four sentences, it's a good sign that I'm reading AI slop and there's no actual answer in the pages and pages of text.

The general public can always use more reminders that billionaires are terrible people who stole their wealth from the people who produced it.

At least they aren't trying to get Steam to work on Kali.

I've seen someone try that.

Alcohol was involved.

Most of the EVs in the Australian market seem to be SUV-like

Eh, there's SUVs and there's SUVs. Manufacturers have taken to calling everything an SUV because people will pay more that way.

My EV gets called a "compact SUV" but really it's an oversized hatch.

And Linux nerds.

Sorry, best we can do is microtransactions, fear of missing out and AI slop. That'll be $90.

You couldn't crank your CPU in the olden days, it'd make games run in fast forward.

Nobody wants to deliberately use the wrong compression type when extracting, so modern tar will figure out the compression itself if you just point it at a file. So tar -xf filename works on almost anything. You don't need to remember which flag to use on a .tar.bz2 file and which one for a .tar.xz file.

And we're pronouncing it JIMP?

People in the USA don't need to travel for that, just wait.
