I need to be clear that my intentions for that graphics card are sexual in nature
I got the 24gb model last August. Laugh a little Everytime I boot up half-life alyx and the game says not enough vram
How much vram does alyx need? Wtf
I think it’s just because it’s not an Nvidia card the game is freaking out. Game runs just fine.
How fine are we talking? What would you do to it?

Oh I was talking about bangin’ the gpu
Yeah. I got one and it’s a beast. I had to design and print a support for its ass to keep it from sagging.
I switched to a server-style case which sits horizontally exactly for this reason. The sag will only get worse.
This one is from Sapphire and it came with an anti-sag bracket. My 3080Ti from MSI did too actually.
Mine probably did too, TBH. Why I didn’t use it is anyone’s guess.
I’ve printed one as well for mine, but I’m interested in yours if you would care to share it :)
I’ll get it shared tomorrow. It’s designed after a bottle jack but is completely threaded to allow for adjustment and doesn’t have any of the handle components, obviously.
I may be misinterpreting what you’re describing, but it kind of sounds like you’ve reinvented the machinist jack.
Not throwing shade, it makes sense and there’s a reason that machinists the world over use them to tackle the same sort of problem of how to support sagging parts- it’s simple and it works. And coming up with the same solution shows that you have a good understanding of the issue and how to tackle it.
Just pointing it out because I love the overlap between different fields and hobbies, and maybe if you didn’t already know that machinist jacks were a thing you’ll find inspiration for a version 2.0 if you ever feel the need to make one.
I’d also like to see your version when you get around to sharing it.
Thanks for the kind words!
And yes, I designed this in a vacuum, but it is actually a common machinists jack, it seems. Minus a few neat features I saw around the web (like a lock screw component) it’s a 1:1 match for functionality.
Like you, I have a love for projects and tools that are shared across different fields. Mostly due to my ADHD, I have a slew of hobbies that focus around mechanical engineering, chemistry and biology. It’s extremely cost effective to commingle different hobbies, actually. My 3D printing and CAD work is universal, my collection of chemistry glass is used for rando chemistry things as well as mycology. All of my fittings, connectors and electronic components are also universal… etc. etc.

wow it’s not the dwarf toploading ps2 either.
I purchased both the 7900xtx and a 4090. Kept the 7900xtx. Absolutely adore this card. Being a Linux nerd made it a no brainer, but the performance vs price ratio wasn’t there.
Jesus fucking Christ
I think it’s 7900XTX fucking PlayStation 2
Or the other way around. We can never be too sure.
Fuck that thing. THREE slots? I had to abandon one project and look for alternatives because my GFX card already block one slot from being used, but blocking two is crazy.
Three slot bracket with a four slot cooler.
