I guess raster will be somewhere between the 7900xt and xtx and hopefully rt somewhat beyond the xtx. It seemed set to replace the 7800xt, 7900gre and 7900xt in the positioning slide (from AMD to the press pre CES as I recall). No game I play currently makes use of RT to a significant degree and...

I thought this was funny https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/08/economy/powell-trump-fed-tension/index.html " “A president certainly can be talking about interest rates, because I think I have very good instincts,” Trump said in a Bloomberg News interview less than two weeks after he claimed he...

So added powers, tariffs, mass-deportations, magic 'peace' in Ukraine and good luck world. I'm sure Victor will call and congratulate.

On the reports of the Trump - Zelensky call I think J Bolton https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/19/politics/video/trump-phone-call-zelensky-ukraine-bolton-source-digvid expresses it quite distinctly. "Transactional world view" and what it means to contribute to Ukraine's cause even if it is a war...

As long as Kiev stands independent from Russia I don't think there will be much a of a sustained peace. "Oh look, we still have a piece of breakout oblast next door (that might join NATO any year now)". And I don't think that the current government of Ukraine will agree on being partitioned and...

Yes, I think familiarity with Western tech for easier integration with NATO in the future ..if there is such a future..is a boon with the F16, and for sure they are going to have an effect in the ongoing conflict...

He seems of his age lately, which is the oldest of any sitting president. I understand what you are saying, that the Democratic ship is a ship-..a vehicle and the president..its figurehead? I guess not really since the role does appear to require a certain amount of live mental stimulation. If...

I though this opinion piece was pretty clear-sighted: https://www.politico.eu/article/vladimir-putin-nato-ukraine-nigel-farage-donald-trump-uk-kremlin-moscow-ukraine-independence/ Key points: "NATO expansion" is volontary, the three Baltic states border Russia and have been a part of NATO for a...

GN has a report from Intel's presentation regarding Xe2 from Computex: Highlighted changes include early support for games and "improved utilization"

They need a counter to these old Soviet-bombs-with-wings-and-guidance glide bombs https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz5drkr8l1ko "Russian forces are now using glide bombs to attack the northern city of Kharkiv." "Vovchansk police chief Oleksii Kharkivsky has seen the impact of glide bombs up...

Yes, probably all of them. Meanwhile, maybe most reasonable people expected a couple to be captured. Russia will likely capture one or two F16 as well, that will not stop them or the rest from being useful. I really hope Kiev can show some keepsakes from the war at some point in the future...

The Nordstream pipes 1 and 2 were not transporting gas when they were sabotaged as a result of Russia invading Ukraine, if you recall. Further, it has been said before, by the military command in Ukraine, that wholly symmetrical warfare is beneficial only for Russia. So strikes on critical...

Re "finally realized Ukraine cannot win" : there is no other end result. Russia doesn't honor agreements, it's a Wendigo that wants to reinstate the Soviet Union and it will not stop feeding at Kiev. Anyway, what is your suggestion to end this conflict?

Yess!! Go continued democracy! Don't kneel and be overrun (mentally) by the big bully!

Re "advocating for negotiations", read the Thread link rnr_au posted two messages prior to yours. "Negotiations" has no meaning for someone who doesn't want the war to end (Putin) and who has never wavered in their vision of "liberating" all of Ukraine, or rather they do have meaning but not in...
