Being based in New Zealand, the XX90 cards come with a significant markup and are wholly unaffordable. They’re priced at about 8% of the median pre-tax salary. I built an entire premium sim rig for less than the cost of a 4090.

It should be DOA but it’ll still sell out for the next couple of months. Think my 3080 will need to last 2 more years unless there is a 5080 ti that uses cut down 5090 dies.

lol. I searched “nvidia 570 Linux” less than a week ago and nada. Just did it again based on you comment and it looks like it was released 2 days ago.

You’re an absolute legend! Thanks for the heads up.

VRR that works with multiple monitors connected. Unfortunately that’s an Nvidia driver issue rather than a missing Linux protocol, so could be waiting a while.

I’ve recently switched to Fedora KDE running version 6 and HDR looks great. Well worth the wait.

Get ready for private … roads

Yes, because Australia has proven that privately owned toll roads are sooooo profitable without the government guaranteeing returns. /s

R was created at the University of Auckland in New Zealand which is probably why he’s on the cover.

Assuming you’re primarily interested in gaming performance; wait for reliable 3rd party non-DLSS benchmarks.

From the Nvidia presentation, the 5070ti looks great, but the performance uplift over previous gen in their slides pretty much only applies to games with frame generation. Not every game will implement DLSS 4 let alone DLSS. You may still need the better rasterisation of the 5080 depending on your monitor resolution and desired fps.

Huh TIL. Sorry if I sounded dismissive of GNOME, I was just going by what has and hasn’t been implemented. I actually hated how Plasma looked and how it was set out so ended up getting a global Mac OS theme to fix it.

Part of the reason for dual booting is to figure out which DE I prefer having only just moved over from windows.

I’m currently dual booting Pop OS and Fedora KDE edition with a 3080, so essentially using both an old GNOME version (Pop) and Plasma 6 (Fedora). Pop works straight out of the box if you choose the Nvidia install and the Nvidia controls are fairly similar to Windows.

Fedora gave me some problems getting it going, but once I’d opted in to proprietary drivers, and did a few updates, it’s been all good. The HDR implementation in Plasma is way better than Win 10 and the only issue with VRR is that it won’t work if you have a multi-monitor setup. Turning off the other monitors works fine. The gpu controls are more limited though.

GNOME is a bit behind Plasma. VRR is an experimental feature and HDR doesn’t run on Nvidia cards. Both should be fixed sometime this year I believe.

If you undervolt your card you are out of luck. There are some limited overclocking tools but underclocking seems like a bit of a nightmare.

Yup wouldn’t work over any other ports. Had to move the other service off of it but it now works.

Solved with this solution. It would only work over 80 and 443.

Lighttpd was using port 80 for pihole. Back when I set it up you could change the server port but it would be overwritten every time pi hole was redeployed, hence why I didn’t just change this in the first instance. They seem to have updated it so that editing the .conf and changing the port number will persist.

I should have said in the main text, I have something else on port 80 and I though best practice was not to expose 80 or 443?

I have the Silverstone GD-08 case that can fit 12 hard drives. It’s an inexpensive solution for a dedicated htpc/media server. Even managed to fit in an RX 6600 so my wife can play low spec games on the tv.

Then all you need is a pcie expansion card as others suggested.

Technically the cost of the actual rail infrastructure is less. It requires much less width for the corridor and both road and rail need roughly equal strengthening for the foundations. Overhead lines and signalling are not a significant incremental cost so long as you have an existing network.

However, you generally only build rail where there is sufficient latent demand. This means the land you require is of higher value and land is one of the most significant costs assuming you would need equal infrastructure requirements (e.g. bridges, structures, tunnels, etc.) regardless of mode.

Therefore, on a per kilometre basis, rail is often more expensive. The key difference is throughput. Rail is highly efficient for both freight and passenger movements, over sufficient distances, because it is a fixed corridor with right of way or full segregation. A dual track railway can carry far more tonnes of freight or many multiples more people than a dual lane road as it doesn’t suffer from congestion.

I pulled a psu out of my rig over the weekend. I was just going to chuck it on Trademe for $1. Let me know if you need it, though shipping might take a few days.

Ahh that also explains why it seems to be a google only thing. Thank you though, knowing that it’s through the shopping api will hopefully help me find a solution (if it exists).
