Well not for Battle mage arch

Oh I don’t remember ever hearing about something from the a series lol

Now I really have no clue xD

This year/late last year has been so goofy for gpus

#

If I got a windows license on my current pc, how do I know where the license is linked to, like it’s linked to ssd, linked to mobo, etc

royal crow
#

I think both? I believe it changes if you change the Motherboard or ssd.

acoustic palm
#

Cause I’m being forced to get a license, and probably forced to buy it off Microsoft… 😭

It would've been possibly gpu of the year if it was priced accordingly

But that goes to the 9070 XT

Probably would’ve had 4080 super strength

For the price (MSRP) to perf it's a no brainer

#

Why didn't Intel make an arc 9?

rancid juniper
#

I don't think they'll focus on the ultra high end until they gain some marketshare

#

That's what's AMD is doing with their GPUs, could've gotten 9080 XT or 9090 XTX

royal crow
#

True

rancid juniper
#

Legit makes me wonder how cracked the 9090 XTX could've been

#

Because the performance of the 9070 XT was already bonkers

Also no sugar added ketchup > normal ketchup

I don't really like ketchup anymore tbh

I've never tried

#

I don't eat fries with marinara, sorry. I don't really care for marinara that much

honest birch
#

I've had it on chicken sandwich with French bread, pesto butter, mozzarella

Marinara can probably go on a lot of things

nocturne flicker
#

I use ketchup or ketchup mixed with mayo

velvet summit

I just eat fries with no sauce most of the time

honest birch

I only like mayo on sandwiches

honest birch
#

I just ordered a chicken sandwich and fries from Chick-fil-A

I should specify like
Seasoned fried that are not like stale

I'd only eat straight fries if they were some sort of seasoned fries

honest birch

Though if I'm feeling in the mood I'd just put some white vinegar on fries

#

McDonald's fries I usually eat with ketchup or gravy though because they're always so stale nowadays
Even like fresh out of the fryer they just don't stay good for more than like 10 minutes ongod

#

This is why I don't go to McDonald's anymore

#

Every time I go I'm just disappointed

nocturne flicker

I don't go to McDonald's anymore because literally everything they make is trash for trash prices

Like literally the worst stuff you could eat

i feel like mcdonalds like

even pre covid was far better than it is currently

though that's already 5 years ago

Wendy's is also bad, I got such horrible food poisoning awhile ago

It's cheaper to cook yourself a burger n you can make it better and at bigger quantities

The only place I go now is when Sonic has a special mobile deal going on or the occasional Domino's because there is no good pizza around here

I don't go to any large pizza chains

They're all local

#

but going back to the original topic, i normally eat fries with no sauce as long as it's high enough quality and not like the cardboard that mcdonalds sells

Burger King is the goat
Fries are thicker and cooked in not-garbage
Burgers aren’t frozen
and they’re cheaper and offer many more deals

And they aren’t affiliated with Nazis

Oh and a mexican place that used to be an Italian Mexican place that used to be Italian

#

the meat itself is pretty pricey

#

and you have to get all the other materials for it

nocturne flicker
#

There is a bigger up front and there is a time sink but if you buy stuff on sale you should theoretically beat the chain

#

Though I don't think what you'll make will be a 1 to 1 comparison

#

The local grocery store sells 80% for 3.49/lbs sometimes but you have to buy 3lbs, buns and cheese are frequently half priced and etc.

#

They don't do veggie sales nor do pickles go on sale, so eh

93.4 C under a synthetic load yes

It does not throttle

misty sparrow
#

none of my stores do sales on meat

nocturne flicker
#

Our store has Friday-Saturday sales every week. Every once and a while they run a sale where if you buy $20 of specific brand foods, you can buy 3lbs of 80% at 2.49 a pound or if you don't buy the $20 of stuff, 3.49 a pound

#

It is a little cheaper than those bulk rolls they sell at Walmart, but that beef sale is designed to get people in and buy nore stuff

sinful blade
nocturne flicker
#

Also, our grocery store pays less than Walmart

Also, they turned the sale into a digital coupon recently to try and make it harder for people to use

Mind share, not at all

You need SOMETHING in halo tier even if it does lose

Oh

I do want to add I'm using a 4060M on this laptop now at 1440P. The laptop has a 1920x1200 screen so I'm already more pixels then this 4060M was ever meant to push & it's playable.

I see you

devout forum
#

Arguably nGreedAI sells it's overpriced junk products entirely off of mind share and influencer marketing

The 9070 XT obsoleted the entirety of 50 series other than the 5090 as soon as it arrived

And yet people STILL BUY 50 SERIES

iscsi lets you attach a network drive like its a drive installed inside your computer, but only one computer at a time can connect to it

theirs some ways you can share the same folder kinda, and it works

its useful if your gaming off it, while SMB is useful for sharing between multiply pcs
