When I know the new entry level NVIDIA GPU RTX 3050 is released on 27th January and I'm worrying about how I will be able to buy one on launch day. Can't wait to crank up my benchmarks and give it a good test. It's got a smaller number of cores than I'd like but at least it has 8gb GDDR6 and is in a 128bit bus unlike the AMD 6500XT which was so disappointing. |

"Hmm some of those sound more geek than nerd.
I'm a pedant
Interesting! Can you explain?  "
Generally nerds are passionate about academia, geeks have huge amounts of knowledge about special areas of interest, which are usually a bit obscure 
I think I'm more nerd side |

There is definitely crossover between geek and nerd. I think the geek is more into applying nerdy knowledge into a niche that they are personally interested in... like gaming, tech, astonomy, robotics, 3d printing etc. A pure nerd is more about the theory/concepts/equation of pure math or physics or likewise. |

The 3050’s are going to be bought wholesale by miners and scalper’s I reckon
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 2060 super the other day |

The 3050 hashrates are low and ether is gone to shit so im hoping there isn't so much incentive. I'd snap up a 2060 super if I could get one for any kind of sensible money. Got my eldest a ryzen 5700g for Xmas and doing the APU thing is only JUST good enough for basic 1080p. |

That’s the sort of thing I do
I had spreadsheets for covid responses in about 15 countries with very clear conclusions drawn as a result |

Geek more than nerd...
When you get a 3d printer for christmas and now all you can see around u are things to make and improve on it..
and you family are asking why are already upgrading the perfectly good present..
And you have already re-masterd your blender skills first learned on a 16bit computer in 1998. |

"…Ya still love the sound of a 33k modem.
Pah... my first was a 14.4"
As was mine…but the 33k holds a special place in my heart….alligator clips on a phone like to junction box in the attic and my parents didn’t have a clue….until the bill arrived! |

You know you're a nerd when people cross to the other side of the street, and those who meet you face to face make that mistake only once; those who have narrow esoteric interests, and who are empathic and socially skilled; the two are not mutually exclusive; learn to keep their obsessions to themselves, and pander to the lowest common denominator in everyday conversations and other interactions.
The witless, clueless and ultimately friendless get what they deserve ! |
