My CycloDS was ordered on 6th October and I have had nothing but excuses from TC for over:

88 days (and I finally got my CDSE)

THE END

I am not saying where I ordered from as it is not the online shop fault but TC for not actually sending the CycloDS (black) yet

The black CycloDs was only supossed to start shipping 15/12, but it was Saturday, wich isn't a bussiness day, also i think the black CycloDs's manufacturing is a bit late so, you might have to wait a bit more.

No the shipping date keeps being moved, originally it was a "couple of" weeks from my order date. It may not even be TC's fault, however as they are the ones who keep giving the resellers lies instead of actual delivery dates ....

I have posted this in TC forums (ban time again I suspect)


You know what is really annoying?

Yeah, I realized the other week that the expected arrival of black evo stock was on a weekend. Depending upon who they use for shipping to retailers they COULD actually get them on Saturdays as they'd probably be a large enough shipment that the cost difference between "fast" delivery and "normal" delivery would be negligible.

@MadBob:
Too bad that you couldn't make that image javascript (or something) controlled such that you wouldn't have to manually update it...

I have been searching for a "Time Since" counter and this is the best I could come up with

I found lots of count down timers but what use are they? I have absolutely no idea when it's coming.

I have been sat on a SDHC 6 GIG card for months now (not literally)

I even ordered a DSTT out of pure boredom.

ouch 73 days, and i thought me waiting for a dual shock 3 controller for 27 days is bad enough, it's not stuck at customs or something? and can you buy the black cyclo ds now or is it still delayed? they announced it months ago but you still can't buy it anywhere.

The vendors say after the new year now for the black evos...

@MadBob
Ah. Had no clue as to where you'd gotten that, just figured that you had tossed something together fairly quickly...

  • 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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
