Have fun with that. Doesn't seem that worth it to me now.

I saw that but its CarRamrod. He's a mall cop dumbass that probably doesn't understand the financials of what his ROI would need to be to make that ongoing and initial expense profitable at this point.

Was he just trying to sound impressive? Still have a bit of FOMO on the mining thing, but whatever. Back in the day (2013-ish) I made thousands in just a couple months from mining. It sounds douchy to say but I value my time a lot more these days, unless I already had a truckload of hardware and a dedicated room.
Plus, something in my PC fricking died the other day, maybe. Had a BSOD, then after reboot my NVME (960 Pro) was no longer recognized. If I power down and then go back to the bios, it's recognized. But when I redo the boot order and save/reboot, it disappears again.
Haven't had time to see if it's the mobo or the drive.

That sounds like a mobo issue. What a nightmare

That thread made me put my Titan Xp and 1080 both on eBay today. Asking $1500 for the Titan Xp. We'll see how it goes.
If I sell them each for the asking price I will order the Titan V

No offense but that architecture has been out since Q2 2016. Your bad for waiting until mid 2017. We should get a refresh soon, jump on it! =)

True. But I bought my PC (asus G20CB)second hand in mid 2017 for $400 w/ a 27" asus monitor so I was already dead in the water in terms of upgrading the card around a decent price.

You might have to lower your asking price because the Star Wars one is only $1400 on there. Nvidia actually had some in stock on their site earlier this week for $1200.
How much for the 1080?

Yeah but is $300 bucks worth it to not have a card? Wait to sell in a few months when we get a refresh in June. (Hopefully per rumors)
Unless you aren't gaming at all and want to get a complete return on your 1yr old investment. Then yeah go for it.

I'm deep into the RasPi world again and looking for a new stand for my cluster. Came across this "GeauxRobot" cluster stack on both Amazon and eBay.
Local?

I don't even have either one of my gaming PCs with me at my place in Cali. I will be moving again by the time the next refresh comes out and will worry about it then. Using my laptop for the little gaming I do now.

So is Ampere basically a Pascal refresh?
Pretty sure everyone wanting one will have to jump on these on Day 1 to have a shot at getting them from the miners.

Ran to BestBuy yesterday and bought the new Surface Pen and matching alcantara type cover as well as a 200GB SD card.
Pro is supposed to be here Tuesday, going to give it a couple week trial run and see how it fits my needs before I decide if I'll keep it or return it and go Book 2.

I missed something.
Didn't get the Book?
Edt: Invest in the Surface Arc. It compliments the setup very well. The mouse lays flat for off mode. Everything is super portable but that damn pin. There is just never a good spot for it within the sleeve the Surface Pro occupies.

No I went with the 2017 Pro.

Awesome. I remember now that you decided on the Pro instead. Did you decide on the i7 with an Iris Pro or just the i5?
I do have a complaint about the i5. Wish it had a fan. It wants to throttle more often than I would prefer. The system can feel less snappy at times depending on the process, but only for brief instances.

i7 with Iris.
Yeah I've read good and bad on that fanless i5, I don't think I'd trade silence for thermal throttling.

Do any of you stream regularly?
I don't have any desire to stream seriously or anything, but I was messing around with OBS and Twitch and had a couple questions that I'm not finding clear answers on with just a google search.
