Yea, it definitely is a nice profit to be had by reselling

Current out of box Steel nomad uplift vs my 3070. No overclocks, undervolts or power changes. cpu clock may have dropped because of background updates

Very nice uplift, Not ready/need to upgrade to AM5, but if i do i suspect around a 20% uplift further

kinda unexpected, but here is an interview with Philip that starts off with a really nice trinidadian internet history lesson

did not know philip was so involved with the local early tech scene

New driver update with the 9070xt pushed me well clear of any 5070 3dmark scores.. Currently sitting in the top 7% of the 5070ti listings. (still with the 5800x cpu and stock clocks).

Adrenaline isnt playing nice with the monitor and tv setup i currently have. once thats fixed ill try some overclocking. 200 points on CPU and 300 will put me on top of the 5070ti boards as well, Then ill post official scores.

I've also seen alot of improvement in Davinci resolve encoding.

Really capable card, the switch to red has been good to me
