oh to be that thick and having such small camera hardware yet still have the hump...

They made Ciri too powerful by the end of part 3. It doesn't make any sense to play her.

A few notes:

So while I had the same experience with ASR that is often reported here, I'm not sure whether it's really an ASR issue or a general one.

2. Why dual GPU? Because not only for pipeline parallelism, but also tensor parallelism (note that tp is supposedly finicky and requires ideally the same GPUs and the PCIe lanes go to the CPU directly)

Note, the GPU itself also has to support PCIe 5.0, otherwise the connection will downgrade to whatever the GPU's generation is, e.g PCIe 4.0 x8.

4. PCIe 5.0 x16/x8x8 is only supported by Ryzen 7000 and 9000, Ryzen 8000 only supports PCIE 4.0 x16/x8x8.

5. PCIe 5.0 x8 = PCIe 5.0 x16, so the performance loss is only a few percent (search engine for: "PCIe scaling", TPU has an article)

Was mich interessiert, welche Smartphones mit Leica Branding blamiert dieses Gerät nun? Genannt wird kein Modell!!!

Und wirklich relevant ist das auch nicht. Ex gibt durchaus Käufer die das Gerät importieren, die Masse macht das aber nicht und wenn msn es schon importieren muss, also nicht hier kaufen kann, darf man dann wirklich vergleichen und es günstig nennen? Ich finde nicht.

That is absolutely horrible! GamesCom is hard work and a great opportunity to show what actual blood sweat and tears have managed to conjure up for many solo devs or small teams in the indie space :(

Quick question for clarification tho - area 4 here is business only - the actual indie booths are in 10.2. Hall 4 is not even open to the public. If the raid was indeed executed in hall 4, then some low life might have thought they are "just bleeding greedy Corporation assets". Theft is despicable either way tho, sorry to read this :(
