I like him Mr Bidouile ... he's a YouTuber who goes fairly straight to the point and has good scientific bases. Because the YouTubers who like to watch each other talk and say nothing (or say something in 10 times longer than necessary) that annoys me to the highest point!

Well, I haven't watched everything yet but his video there, it represents how much CO2 equivalent? : Mrgreen:

It lasts 31 minutes ... maybe a 20 minute video would have been enough right? And hop 30% less CO2 ...

And on the computer pollution side, we also have this kind of debility ... but if it exists it is because it is sold ... ah the crisis does not affect everyone !! Out of stock everywhere !!

The RTX 3090, the first gaming card to exceed ... € 2000!

The RTX3xxx series was supposed to be cheaper than the RTX2xxx series yet ... obviously it is not (I did not plan to change CG, I had not looked at the prices)

It is surprising in 2 ways:

- the very high prices (only rare professional graphics cards could exceed 2000 € before ..) necessarily inducing more CO2 (manufacture, purchase ...) ... much more than a card at 400 € ...

- the disruption of the market in a context of so-called economic crisis (or is it that they manufactured them in a drip? Astonishing given the number of manufacturers who offer them ...)
