So anyone excited about the new 1080 and 1070 announcements from the other day? So many console gamers on here probably not lol. If AMD can't step it up with their soon to be announced generation of cpus and gpus I think they'll be pretty screwed, especially if Nvidia's claims hold up with independent testing. It's going to be an interesting year for the "master race." :-p

Knew I forgot something. There are probably hundreds of articles, I know I've watched most of my tech youtube peoples talk about it or show the huge announce party thing Nvidia did. After watching the release videos I'd be shocked if the total for all that was anywhere as low as $1 million. Flew in tons of people, rented out a ranch, activities, hotel rooms, and all for what I'm guessing is more money than I'll see in my lifetime lol.

I only see smaller micron.. gain some cool.

the cards have been so fast since agp 8x, that is all to notice.

 

cooling makes it bigger.

256bit memory, all that hocus pocus... must be 10 years already.

 

I got a xeon with the original nvidia, big 3d cad worker, but no gaming.

I'd love try try the 980..

but no rush.

 

my first gamer was 8mb rage lt pro. Half life 1 for daaaays. :)

I don't even know what the first graphics card I used was. I know it was back when we still had a 486 and a 386. Dad said he needed to get a card just to run the 17" monitor. 8mb hard drive ooooooooo yeah! Or maybe it was 8 megs of ram, that sounds a little better. I don't know this was 20 something years ago :(

I do, mine was a 3dfx voodoo 3 card. Before nvidia dominated the scene 3dfx was the card to buy if you wanted performance and dependability back in those early days of PC gaming.

I think the first card I bought with my own money might have been a Geforce 2 Ti that I got off my buddy. Most expensive card is what I currently have, my 7950 bought launch week.

 

I heard about it, I'm excited because it'll make the lesser units cheaper.

If the performance of the 1070 is anywhere near what the claims are I'll probably just get that. Not that it matters pretty much any mid grade card now beats my current one so I step up regardless.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
