    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

NVIDIA Plans to Reduce RTX 50 Production by Up to 40% in Early 2026

Or buy your 5070 Ti now? To me, this implies that Nvidia is switching production capacity to commercial AI customers where margins are higher. Or I could be totally out of touch. Maybe time to buy the 5070 Ti because AMD hasn't been able to put out anything to beat that card. (I'm running a 7900 XTX right now and the eval sites indicate it gets beat by the 5070 Ti.)
 
Yep, Nvidia is following the big money, which will leave AMD as the primary supplier of video cards for consumers. I firmly believe that competition within a market is a great thing, I see this as competition leaving a market.

a more nuanced perspective, [potentially] applicable likewise to AMD in due course: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3013044/the-post-geforce-era-what-if-nvidia-abandons-pc-gaming.html

further to the above and for those not already in the know, this is the overarching goal: https://ai-2027.com/ and a critique of said goal: https://www.ibm.com/think/news/world-models-smarter-ai suggesting that AGI goalposts/milestones are nowhere close to what was previously thought; scaling up LLMs is no longer considered a feasible means to bringing about AGI

Instead of buying a game or sim, you will pay for a subscription to use that game or sim.

not just that, but with the likes of Nvidia GeForce Now https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/ one will ultimately end up paying for a subscription to an off-site hardware data center to run a subscription based game / sim i.e. cloud-gaming in entirety; a cheap, low end hardware with a fast internet connection will be all one will require; any notions of ownership are being relegated to the past in the context of the new hardware / software subscription models

It's all about the Benjamins
 
I'll be sticking with my 3070, it is pretty well matched to the rest of my computer and it runs FSX just fine. Yeah, FSX, I'm that old, but I did upgrade to the Steam Edition. :)
