Welcome to Thunderdome

I really don't like that now you need an account and a logon in order to use their interface to update your video card driver.

I have only noticed it once it the last year because somehow my account was logged out. Doesn't really bug me that I had to create an account with them using one of my many bullshit emails. But at the same time, I'm with you on questioning if it's really necessary.

It wasn't necessary for a decade, but now they have another email address to sell. Boo.

Catt mentioned this elsewhere, but here's what NVidia can now do...

New card more powerful than the 1070 Ti and only $350.

Reviewed as well.

The 4090 is going to be twice as powerful as the 3090.

Rejoice Stranger or Cake!!! When this hits I'll have a 3090 to give away!!

Don't even give it away, i will straight up buy that bitch off of you!!! not even kidding.

How about I give Stranger the 1080ti and I get the 3090 so we both win!?

What about me?

You just got a brand new laptop. Back off!

..Just changed my Micro Center shopping cart to purchase the 850W supply this weekend for the 3090 i will be loading in there sometime in the near future.

We could have a best of 7 games series between the two of you for the card. Each selects a game for each round and round 7 is decided by me.

Stream the whole thing on Twitch...

It'll be hilarious, cuz I'm going to pick... well, I don't want to give it away, but a 3090 isn't required to play the games.

I could also give away game keys while the competition is going on.

You know, with a touch of promotion from Twitch...this could break our viewer record.

Hell. I want that challenge even if there isn't a video card on the line!

Do we get any heads up at all about the games we'll be playing? Or is it a surprise on game nigh?

i will resort to ANY means necessary to get that card.. DO NOT underestimate the lengths i will go!

I've been gaming on a PC my entire life. You gamed on consoles and a Mac! You have no chance.
