Had that yesterday when I was just having a look to see if my old login still worked. Don't think I F5'd that page either.

I'm not really interested at this time but did a bit of investigating out of interest to see if there's improved bot protection (NV GB site). I'd be careful trying to use a bot script on the NV website as it the product page may then block you from accessing it by IP address. I did a quick test with a script I created myself back in 2020 and then couldn't access the page for a few hours.
Might be the same even doing a manual repeated F5 too often too as that's what the script was doing, scraping the page looking for changes and the refreshing every x seconds and repeating.

I have to agree. So let's tax them less because that will help even things out... Right trussy?

Not sure this is the best forum for politics, why should things be evened out? The tax system is already progressive with earnings above around £32k taxed at 40% for income tax, so higher rate taxpayers pay a disproportionate percentage of tax from their income. In the seventies the UK had top rate of tax at 90%... And all the people paying the lions share of tax who could do so left the country to avoid it. That didn't work very well either. The market lost faith in Truss/Kwarteng because they proposed tax-cuts (the idea being to stimulate productivity and reap greater total tax revenue) based upon borrowing more, much of it in guaranteeing to pay energy companies the difference in order to cap the maximum rate to energy consumers (and amounting to perhaps 4% of UK GDP on that alone), and that's not even mentioning the unchecked money printing since 2008 that went into overdrive with the release of the Nvidia RTX2020 money printer several years ago. For comparison the 5% cut to the top 45% tax rate costs the treasury £2b. The gas-subsidies around £65b at least iirc (and potentially much more) , and printing money by BoE since March 2020 something like £400-600b to put things in perspective.

Anyway, we were saying something about graphics cards...

If you guys wanna see how the 4090 performs with a old CPU to create a horrible bottleneck, see Joker's review.

He's using a Intel 9900k, which isn't a bad CPU in isolation, its just too weak for the 4090 and creates a bottleneck at 4k.

In several games, at 4k max settings he's getting nearly the same performance as his 3090ti, the 9900k just cannot keep up.

So technically speaking, some people need to buy a whole new system to run this card. That skewers the price to performance graph massively.
