I can't really think of any TBH, I don't get all butthurt if I get a gift I don't like so nothing really sticks out or comes to mind. I do have an uncle who comes every christmas who mainly gets me super cheapo dollar store items, like a tiny foldable alarm clock or a cheap pen set, but then I actually used both of those a fair bit after I got them so they weren't really "bad" gifts, just stuff I wouldn't ask for normally.

Lol I bought my girlfriend really expensive diamond earrings one year and in return she got me underwear, undershirts, and socks I kid you not. Needless to say that she's now my ex for completely unrelated reasons.
That's why my fiancee and I always set a low monetary limit when getting each other gifts, so neither of us will end up feeling "cheap" when we open em up.

'Worst gift' I ever received were duplicates but got them refunded so no big deal.

Most of the time family members just ask me what I want or give me vouchers or money.

That said, I can recall a customer where I work who had a gift which broke but because they had no receipt or box we couldn't do anything about it.

Every year I get some clothes and/or shoes but I always end up needing them so I'm not disappointed for long

Each generation, children are becoming more and more entitled. This future is fucked.

its worse for me my birthday is 3 days after Christmas and often my gifts say "merry birthday" on the tag(s)

so this one year for "birthmas" i got a box of cinnamon toast crunch and a pack of kool-ade burst (i had asked for a rc car) . . . as if that was not grand enough i got sent to my room without dinner because i refused to share my kool-ade bursts with my little sister

The worst Christmas gift I ever gotten, sniff, was getting a copy of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Jingle all the Way. Wahhh. :cry:

Cue Depressing Music. Then after Jingle Bells.

A 20 cigs pack of Marlboro.
It was secret santa in a huge shared house (36 peoples) with 10$ limit as a rule. the girl that picked me up didn't know me for long. She thought that since I was a smoker, cancer would be a cool gift. -_-

My stupid ex once bought me an XXL bath robe for me for christmas. She was an XXL. I was only a large.

She basically bought it for herself knowing that it was going to be far too big for me and it just wasn't my type of thing.

Kinda like Homer buying Marge a bowling ball.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
