I got a GPU! (9070 XT), holy crap stable 4k 60+ FPS WITH raytracing 😱
Extremely nervous about my future. Applied for DRP (deferred resignation plan, google it), waiting to find out if its approved so i can move on with my life and have time to skill up and find a new job. I’m willing to dip into retirement (hah! Like that was ever going to happen anyway) to take the penalty for breaking my lease to GTFO at this point, feels like I’m trapped where i am and i hate it.
Wow, that’s a beast of a card! And here was me still feeling pleased with my 6600 XT I got a few years ago… 😶
Hope the employment situation works out OK.
I had an open box 2080 TI i bought about 5 years ago; its lasted me well but it is VERY loud and runs hotter than i would like (nearly 80c at load). Plus I’ve been aiming to get a new GPU while i still can because… US 🫤
Shittiest week in a long time. I am super sick. I had an argument with a coworker about how to clear up some stuff. He told me I had to go drive to an office; I called the office and they told me they can’t do anything for me. But he insisted. So I went. On my way I got a speeding ticket (my first ever ticket). When I got to the office they told me “you shouldn’t be here, you need to go do blah blah blah”. Just like I said to my coworker. He was annoyed at me for not arguing with them even though I was just following instructions.
Then my mother-in-law had a mini-stroke (a couple of days ago). So that sucks for a variety of reasons. Luckily she’s doing quite well. Only a bit of confusion and aphasia.
Overall, it’s just been a brutal week. I know it’ll get better though. When it rains…
