Yeah the year is almost over it's mid October. YTD is more common hence why it's there. But I can bump in December for you too, the gap will only be larger.

You’re welcome to (if you that desperately want to continue spamming this thread…). Doesn’t change the fact that, when I asked whether NVDA had outperformed AMD over the last 12 months and last five years, your answer should have been a resounding “yes”

But again, I’m glad you made money over the last few days. It likely wasn’t much fun being in the red on AMD since March of 2024

Thanks man, it's been great bumping AMD stock in here over the last 10 years and watching you quiver. It's why I keep coming back every time.

Who woulda thought back in Feb of 2016 at $1.86 a share we'd see AMD crushing Nvidia. Like I said at the time, don't think we'll ever see that kind of rebound again in the tech sector. Stock of the year over and over and over again. CEO of the year over and over again. What a time to be alive and get rich.

I agree with you here. Really incredible what they've done when they've done when it seemed like Intel and Nvidia were going to run away with the market share. We needed this competition

I sometimes forget how deep on the spectrum you are, and then I feel bad. Have a great day, mate

With RAM prices spiked the way they are, probably not. With that said, I would be somewhat nervous about the 1-star reviews talking about power delivery issues. Those are so incredibly hard to diagnose if you get unlucky.

shite's fricking awful, man

I genuinely feel terrible for people trying to build right now. With that said, looking at PCPP, it looks like we've had a plateau over the last week or so. Maybe this is the beginning of some measure of relief.

Not necessarily the end, but yeah, I’ve seen a couple like that before

I generally spread, as I’m more concerned about coverage than the random air bubble, and I don’t trust myself to put the right amount for the X to perform as advertised

I paid $130 for 16x2 6000 CL30 back in January and was pissed that I missed the $115 sale. Now that same RAM would cost me over $400.
I knew it was more expensive now but not like THAT.
But at least GPUs are MSRP or below (for now).

I would definitely replace the PSU but otherwise that's a great deal. Especially since it's back up to $2200 at both Microcenters here.
Can you tell us what PSU it's using? Powerspec PCs used to have CooleMaster Gold but yours probably has this one.

Anyone use Steam's in home streaming these days? Just picked up a little NUC with a 12900HK that I plan to replace the PC there (have other plans for the PC), but I haven't used the in home streaming in a looooonnnnnggg time

Thankfully most of the games I'll play locally (shite like n64/gamecube/ps1 emulators, worms, and other multiplayer "party games"), but occasionally I may get an itch to play a new AAA game on the couch
