I barely began to benchmark it but the rough results are in Blender it uses 20 watts less than one 2060 super and performs 225% as well. Uses about 5-10 watts less than a 3060 12GB and performs 195% as well.

Full 5060ti 16GB review coming soon. Focusing on Blender and I likely will throw in some GPU video encoding being that it uses the 9th generation NVENC encoder. It also has native support for AV1.

Any benchmark ideas, leave a comment and if I can do them I will.

Anyone looking for a cheap legit windows 11 pro key, they can be purchased here. I bought a couple of keys because I got tired of reinstalling the RDP wrapper hack after every significant update. I only had to pay $10.90 for each key. www.productkeys.com/product/windows-11-professiona…

FYI, once you have your new pro key, all you do is replace the current home key with the new key and windows will automatically install the needed files to upgrade it. Just make sure updates are turned on first.
Start Button
-Settings Gear
--System
---Change Product Key

It's setup to be able to upgrade without losing anything. Worked flawlessly for me on both machines.

Single Arm Bicep Concentration Curls(Each Arm)
Warm Up Started Light(because I'm old and brittle)

2 Sets 10 Reps 13.8 pounds
2 Sets 10 Reps 18.8 pounds
2 Sets 5 Reps 23.8 pounds
2 Sets 5 Reps 28.8 pounds
4 Sets 5 Reps 33.8 pounds
2 Sets 5 Reps 28.8 pounds
2 Sets 5 Reps 23.8 pounds
2 Sets 10 Reps 18.8 pounds
2 Sets 10 Reps 13.8 pounds

By the time I get to the 10th rep at the end, the mere 13.8 pounds feels heavy. The only time an arm is resting is when the other arm is lifting. I have found that this basic format gives me the greatest burn for the longest period of time.

Yes, every vote cast for political office in the US should require ID and yes, every registered voter should be required to prove they are a US citizen. It's not complicated. If anyone is incapable of figuring out how to do something so simple, then they are incapable of voting informed. I don't care if they are male, female, man, woman, male who identifies as a woman, female that identifies as a man, white, black, brown, yellow or any other flavor of human.

Being able to prove you are who you say you are is a very low bar. The very idea that women or minorities can't figure this out is literal bigotry of low expectations.

Yeah, whenever a windows update does this, you know a lot of garbage is going in and a lot of default programs and preferred settings are being changed. Because after all, Bill Gates knows best.

The price of SSDs are going nuts just like RAM. SSDs are now about 50-100% more expensive than they were 6 months ago.

Screw you, AI datacenter creators. I look forward to that bubble popping.

Damn clankers, taking all our jo.. I mean silicon waffers.
