I'm just gonna go to the store early in the morning. Either target or best buy. Definitely picking up a camera and a couple of sd cards & memory sticks. Might get the wii zapper.

There is, at no time, more customers than employees in the building.

Personally, I'd like to pick up a TomTom ONE 125SE from Walmart. No way in hell I'm gonna be there/up at 5am though.
Ok, I lied. Got up at 4:30am and made the trip. Little over 2 hrs later, I'm home with my new GPS (Walmart was a freakin madhouse).

....And now, back to bed for a few hrs before I have to go to work.

In Canada, we don't celebrate Black Friday... But some stores had a few sales that were pretty useful to me:
- Got a Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB for $55
- Got a OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU [I can't really see the blue light... Since my case has a very little opening to see it. Oh well...)

I was about to get me a WD Caviar Green that was 500GB too for $60, but I didn't really need it. All I needed was something that would work, a new HDD actually. And that's what I got. I might pick up a WD Caviar Green... Maybe. iunno yet...

My mom bought a new Compaq computer at Best Buy for $300. 3GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, etc. I got Elite Beat Agents at Fry's Electronics for $10. I almost got V for Vendetta on Blu-Ray, but I shot for EBA.

Stores were so packed that I couldn't even get into the buildings today

RAAAAAAAAAAGE

I know, it sucks.

The only site I could find stuff on sale was NewEgg.ca.

I ordered a 8GB Class 6 MicroSD card for $15 and a LINKSYS WRT120N for $40. Both with free shipping.

I almost got a G11 as well, but I need the cash for a new GPU cooler.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo i didn't go amd for one specific reason, the AI performance is way behind nvidia
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i just got a 4070ti
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    oh yeah also DLSS is a pretty solid reason to go nvidia since fidelityfx is kinda crap
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and now with the rtx video upscaling, and sdr->hdr conversion, even more reason to go nvidia
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    both of which work well in potplayer
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    amd is a bit cheaper though
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Year not yard lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
