900 miles on a charge sounds huge
my dad's EV gets under 250 I think
umbral moss
900 miles on a charge sounds huge
yeah, they hard optimized it for low drag and rolling resistance
plus a relatively pedestrian power output (for an EV)
modest moss
is it massively expensive?

the EQ..E? is a prototype
I forgot which stupid designation they gave it
modest moss
my dad paid like £30k GBP for his Renault Zoe, I bet any Merc EV will be much more
umbral moss
well, yeah
modest moss
but that kind of range is huge
umbral moss
the long range thing is bonkers
they did it just to prove that EVs can have longer range than ICE cars
it's just that everyone designing them isn't doing it with range in mind
they're either making them inefficient aero or jamming enormous engines and battery packs in the chassis
modest moss
I wonder what the optimum range is in terms of making it attractive to the vast majority
umbral moss
the equivalent range of a camry is probably pretty close to the target
450-ish miles per charge
modest moss
like I'm sure most people would be fine with the range my dad has in countries that aren't America
umbral moss
especially since it doesn't take 5 minutes to fill an EV, it takes 17 hours without a level 3 station that kills your poor battery pack

nah, not without a huge upgrade in electrical infrastructure
CA's rolling blackouts are only getting worse as more teslas join the grid looking for charges

I saw so many teslas in plano
the US has chronically under-invested in electricity generation for about 60 years, believing that the world would just, like, never need more power I guess
living like the amish
umbral moss
selling more power makes less money
and the grid isn't designed to absorb overproduction
energy produced and not used is just pissed away
it's one of the reasons PV installers tell you not to have 100% of your power demand satisfied by your array, if you don't use all of that power it just gets dumped basically
nobody can use it

the best way to get that temperature down is to improve the cooling across the board

no, I mean on the heatsink side
you need to get the plate temperature down more, which means more surface area or better dissipation

BUT if the 4xxx cards are readily available and not for a big price bump then we may see further price drops when the 4xxx cards release
but if they are super expensive and 3xxx availability all over again then....
there will be a sweet spot where you are guaranteed a good price on a good card
but anything beyond that sweet spot will be a gamble on the 4xxx series price and availability

lithium is insanely reactive
you can use more or less stable lithium chemistries but they'll all behave the same way over time

I am waiting for next gen intel/amd before I decide what I upgrade to from my z390/9700k 😄
sly elk
I know their GPU drivers can be temperamental at times, but what's wrong with their CPUs?
the memes of them literally exploding if they have no cooler hasn't been true in over a decade now
fair parcel
lol GPUs pass, but I think their CPUs are ok as far as I know
sly elk
lol I've never actually owned a computer with an amd cpu
fair parcel
me either but I would get a 5900 or 5950
sly elk
I'd been tempted to get a 5950
modest moss
Ask @latent grotto about his amd cpu
fair parcel
yeah it is sexy
sly elk
though a 5900x would probably more than satisfy me xD
fair parcel
yeah
sly elk
but everything i've owned was either intel or motorola/ibm (mac powerpc)
sly elk
oh there was ONE computer that was neither

my first new desktop had a 266mhz cyrix 6x86
fair parcel
the i9 12900k is sexy though
sly elk
i thought the only problem with amd was the sketchy ram support
the 12900k also runs hot af and I don't like hot CPUs?
modest moss
Cyrix ended up AMD anyway
deep sapphire
Shue, nobody in here besides us know who Cyrix was

VIA
sly elk
oh nvm
The combination of these events led Cyrix to begin losing money, and the company merged with National Semiconductor on 11 November 1997.[5][6] National released Cyrix's latest designs under the MediaGX name and then an updated version as Geode in 1999. National sold the line to AMD in August 2003 where it was known as Geode. The line was discontinued in 2019.[7]
sly elk
yea at the time
my bro had a vaio he bought used off a friend's friend
it had a p166mmx
modest moss
When I make a statement about obscure shit like that it usually means I already googled it because I don't trust my memory
sly elk
the 166mmx was faster than my cyrix 266 most of the time lmao
not to mention it ran rock solid at 200mhz 😄
deep sapphire
iirc Cyrix lacked any floating point unit
so in non math heavy tasks it could be faster, but in games it was terrible
deep sapphire
well you are a ford owner, I knew you were old
sly elk
6x86 processors were given names such as P166+ indicating a performance better than a Pentium 166 MHz processor. In fact, the 6x86 processor was clocked at a significantly lower speed than the Pentium counterpart it outperformed. Initially, Cyrix tried to charge a premium for the Cyrix-claimed extra performance, but the 6x86's math coprocessor was not as fast as that in the Intel Pentium. The main difference was not one of actual computing performance on the coprocessor, but a lack of instruction pipelining. Due to the increasing popularity of first-person 3D games, Cyrix was forced to lower its prices.

they did have a math unit but it was slow

we had them in our 'old' computer lab

Is there a way to fix it? Do I just rev it a few times?

I don’t know what that is

modern vehicles shut the engine off when not moving to save fuel
not all vehicles have an electrical A/C compressor
and still are driven by the serpentine belt which is attached to the motor
so if the engine shuts off
you get no A/C
deep sapphire
nah shouldnt matter, I would bring it in and get it recharged
shouldnt cost that much
I dont even have A/C
I should fix mine
welcome to the joys of vehicle ownership, everything decides it wants to shit itself on you

I dont even know if 170 pull on a laptop is a lot or not....
deep sapphire
hard drift
so based on the rumor, if 80 class does 450 then the 90 would be 800 which would make sense since it's their outrageous card anyways and logic gets thrown out the windows
hard drift
I dont even know if 170 pull on a laptop is a lot or not....
it's really bad for cooling potential in laptops
deep sapphire
I have a hard time believing this
the 90 series wouldnt be anymore than 20 percent faster but almost has twice the power usage?
hard drift
I have a hard time believing this
current cards already have spikes of near 500w and that's not even the 90ti
fair parcel

up
hank, the card can technically do more since the connector they were using does around 600
