like this is the last day you'll ever be able to mine ethereum on a gpu as the long-awaited merge is expected to be imminent at the time this is going up it's in a few hours or something i feel like a high temperature in case you haven't heard of it ethereum is moving to a proof of stake model which means that if you want to continue passively generating eth you'll want to invest or stake the network with however much of the cryptocurrency you want the more you stake the more you'll make back just like a regular investment and it just goes up all the time every time up up up line goes up a big reason the merge is happening at all is because the ethereum devs wanted to make the blockchain less of an energy hog with power consumption expected to drop by well over 99 percent and while the transaction rate and gas fees shouldn't significantly ch change post-merge the whole thing will at least be a heck of a lot greener and still used for scams by people probably it's looking more and more like the rtx 4090 is launching this year because the trickle of leaks about the card has just turned into a full-on burst pipe it's coming in october is it for sure not only have two new versions of the board shown up a monster quad slot design from lenovo and another one from gigabyte moore's law is dead just reported that we'll be getting the rtx 4090 next month that's october that's it i think so with the 4080 and 4070 following after that this is great news for folks who wanted a shiny new graphics card under their christmas tree or their non-sectarian holiday plant and we should be getting some more news very soon at nvidia's upcoming project beyond event on september 20th and with as many add-in board options as we're rumored to be getting hopefully nvidia goes beyond with the supply situation too everybody should have a gpu you know there's no reason why not it's probably just gonna be one of the 3000 series though they got a lot but it's something it's a human right and sony has led a bunch of gaming sites and creators go hands-on with their upcoming playstation vr2 headset before they release it early next year the feedback overall seems to be really positive and that's not just because there's probably at least a few gaming journalists in there who just haven't played vr very much at all oh it's like feels real where am i the ps vr2 is a huge leap ahead of the psvr1 and even has some big improvements over the oculus quest too there's automatic ipd adjustments higher resolution pass through cameras eye tracking with support for foveated rendering and
