And I thought my 6800XT was big
wow it’s not the dwarf toploading ps2 either.
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?
Speaking as someone else who had a 7900XTX, this was sort of common. It’s just that a lot of game devs aren’t designing their games and apps with anything AMD (maybe Intel too) GPU related. The market is mostly Nvidia so that’s what their games are looking for when it tries to search up compatibility.
Most of the time, it’s just that they don’t officially support it but it still runs without any issue. Since their game is looking for “Nvidia” but sees “AMD”, it’s assuming you aren’t using a compatible GPU. Even more so because Alyx came out in 2020(?) and the 7900XTX came out in late 2022 so the game really doesn’t know that this GPU exists.
The game/app runs without any issue. The game just doesn’t have this specific card to check for a quick compatibility and throws this error as a “just in case”.
There were some rare times where the game/app legitimately did not run. The Oculus app was one of these. VR worked perfect fine through SteamVR but never with the Oculus app since that app was designed for Nvidia GPUs.
Oh I was talking about bangin’ the gpu
Haha I am just now realizing what your comment said. I guess I was more tired than I realized last night.
Damn boi, that’s a thiccccc boi
Jesus fucking Christ
I think it’s 7900XTX fucking PlayStation 2
Or the other way around. We can never be too sure.
The Playstation 2 is a power bottom.
I cast rule 34
Roll a charisma check

Kinda looks like sexy/down bad Jesus to me.
What kind of unholy abomination will be born from this? Some kind of half-PC half-console hybrid?
Oh we already had that.
I love this card! I put it in the Xproto L case and it looks amazing.
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.
And there are still people making them fit in mini-itx cases, no doubt.
Water cooled as well for the sweet 1U + reservoir
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’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.
Hell yeah, love everything about this comment. Keep being you.
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.

I switched to a server-style case which sits horizontally exactly for this reason. The sag will only get worse.
I’m using a sandwich style case with the PCIE port at the top of the case and the 3 scews for the slots are at the bottom. It basically pushing the card up and backwards into the PCIE extension cable’s slot. No ass sag, but I can tell there’s a limit to how much it would be able to handle like that. I’ve got a 7900xt (not xtx) so it works for what I need right now.
Which case is that?
Your case of choice + 90° rotation
I’ve been using one of these 4U server chassis. Of course it is in a rack with some other equipment. I’ve been quite happy with it; lots of space.
Time to bring back the old horizontal style cases from the 80s/90s lol
