Is it me or has this site been loading slow af recently?

That's one way to put it. I'd call it terrible, abysmal, or painfully slow, but I think we more or less agree about the issue.

Take a look at the users section on the site, then click to filter and look at the banned list, it's absolutely insane.

There have been a stupid amount of bots straight up flooding the site, and some if not all of the online mods have had to swat each and every one of them on a daily basis. This is more bots than what we'd usually get on a monthly/yearly basis, it's so annoying.

Also would not be surprised if we're going to get DDOS'd at some point, considering the site is already slowing to a crawl, and we know there are some past ex members who were booted off here, that are still likely salty as hell and want some revenge (it's happened before when the site went down, and I know it wouldn't be some random hack, because this site has no real worth to anyone who hasn't been on this site before). 

Again I do wish people unleashing bots could be traced, reported, arrested and have tech bans slapped on them, because it's just getting beyond stupid/obnoxious with how many sites get infested with them.

4090 FE on the top

5090 FE on the bottom

There is no way the bottom one isn't running toasty af at 575 watts

I can see it running about the same honestly. 3D vapor chamber plus a shitton of copper pipes.

The caveat is that this makes it deceptively heavy for that size. I wouldn't use it without a support bracket. Many people probably won't because they'll see it's only two slots and there you go, GPU sag.

So let me get this straight...

Intel launches B580 in December. 12GB of vram. $250. Shows Raster benchmarks against Nvidia's 4060.

Nvidia launches RTX 5000 series in January. Ai this and Ai that. Price is generally bad outside of the 5070 Ti.

Radeon skips CES but has a slight press briefing. Delays their launch till March for god knows why while shipping their cards to retailers already.

What is this timeline lol

I swear we've entered a warped timeline where NO ONE wants to directly compete with one another anymore.

Look at the consoles and the directions all 3 of them are going in, barely wanting to go toe to toe with one another these days. Look at Streaming and it's the same song & dance, and now we look at GPU's and again, competition trying to avoid each other with slight focusing on other areas outside of their core markets.

Is it me or are businessmen too lazy/scared to compete anymore?, or they just don't think it's worth dumping even a fraction of the money they've earned, to push marketing and sales to directly compete?. Why the fuck is everyone avoiding each other like this?, I genuinely want to know what caused this spin across multiple industries. 

Like I see portable HW directly competing, but I don't see it happening in the same vein for the former I mentioned.

You would think a company like Radeon would look at their 10% market share and money from console sales slowing due to Xbox not competing and such as an indication to go for "Desperate times calls for Desperate measures" mode but naw. At this rate, we are head towards the dark age of PC gaming and I'll likely be keeping my 4090 for at least 4-6 years. The only light that I see might be Intel with their GPUs but who knows. So many things have gone to shit, it's not even funny.
