I *was* in the high 700s, I had a 790. I got there by just getting one card and keeping it paid off.

Then I got some more loans and paid them off and now my score is *lower*

You keep telling me things about how you think it work which are obviously incorrect and then you want to tell me more things and expect me to believe them. That's literally insane.

AMD has superior power management in their chip, in terms of being able to shut down functional units when not in use, so now that they are on the same or superior process technology they have an efficiency edge over Intel. Intel was only ahead of AMD in mobile because they had superior process tech. That is now over and there are no signs it's coming back (Intel having failed at getting acceptable yields with two process shrinks in a row now) so AMD has the clear edge for the time being.

What official statements, as if those were relevant? What evidence?

All of the low-hanging fruit has been picked there, pun intended. Crops which are easy to machine cultivate are already produced with machine cultivation.

The first thing can't happen or they would have done it already, and the second thing is the opposite of their mission.

Just ship with all the 32 bit libraries already, so we can stop needing multiarch for Steam.

"TSMC and Samsumg have fabs in the USoA"

How long before the tangerine terror fucks that up?

There's no reason to kill ARC because it's only taking sales Nvidia didn't want.

It also depended on low speed interfaces to processors. You used to be able to accelerate computers which came with a 68k chip by slapping a daughterboard with a faster CPU on it into the CPU socket. That's not practical today.

Side note, anyone want a radius accelerator for Mac SE?

"Biden's effort to reduce student loan debt has ended."

Too bad he didn't fight as hard for that as he did to prevent us from discharging such debts through bankruptcy, that fake fuck.

"Sounds like you are salty because you aren't getting the score you want."

I'm salty because a bunch of clowns who provably don't know how credit scores work are trying to tell me how credit scores work while I have proof that they don't.

"Simply paying off 1-2 credit cards in full every month while keeping your utilization low for ~5 years will get you into the high 700s, which is all you need for any practical purpose."

I did literally all of that and I'm in the low 700s where I don't qualify for first time home buyers assistance, so no and no. Your faith in the system working as advertised is just sad.

No, they're a lie.

The infographic is propaganda, and answers zero questions about how the factors which make up each group are actually calculated.

I have been watching Experian. There hasn't been anything unrelated to me appearing on my credit report, but my score has gone down as I have behaved faithfully and paid off my debts on schedule. Anyone who believes what FICO claims about scoring is a fool, and anyone who then goes on to repeat their propaganda for them is also a tool — and not the sharpest one in the shed.

This is very true, and perhaps continuing to close the gap is their strategy for defeating CUDA, since they sure aren't putting enough effort in to do it with ROCm. I'd love to see it, I just don't expect it to work. Happy to be proven wrong, though.

My score was 790 a year ago. I faithfully have made my student loan payments, paid off a dental loan, and increased my available credit, and my score is now about 720. Credit scores are a scam and basing anything but applications for credit on them should be a felony.

That's true, but you also can't run old Windows on new hardware, and getting graphics performance out of Windows running in a VM is only even vaguely possible with vmware. Virtualbox's video drivers for Windows are shit, and QEMU/KVM's are even worse. Hyper-V's aren't great either. So you have to keep an old machine around for old windows if you want to run old windows games on windows.
