NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell. На что способен «младшенький GPU» нового семейства профессиональных карт NVIDIA
Профессиональную видеокарту RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell сама NVIDIA позиционирует как недорогое, компактное и энергоэффективное решение для профессиональных рабочих станций, ускоряющее графику и ИИ-задачи. Но что мы реально получаем за 85000 рублей?

Bit of #retrocomputing here.
I finally decided to do something I'd been meaning to do for years - nudged by watching @janbeta starting the restoration of an #Amiga 3000T .
What I needed to do was remove the real-time clock battery from the mainboard in my Amiga 4000. I haven't used it in - literally - decades, and those soldered-to-the-board NiCd batteries (they're three small cells attached end-to-end) all leak, eventually. They can do a lot of damage to the board.
I think that I had been putting it off for years because I figured it had been so long there wouldn't be anything to salvage - that, plus it was tucked in an inconvenient place in storage.
Today I pulled the box out and looked at it. It's basically in mint shape, even stored in the original factory packaging, which is not bad for a machine from 1993. I hadn't even seen the machine since 1998 - the box was sealed when I moved that year, and I never unpacked it. I moved a couple more times since then.
It wasn't even dusty inside. It looks like it came out of the factory last week. It's the #68040 model and has some upgrades - RAM maxed out, a Video Toaster 4000 and a second hard drive added.
The battery did leak, but there's no significant damage to the board. The lacquer where it oozed has lost its shine, but that's about it. Removed it and cleaned the board.
I gather this might actually be worth something today? Last time I checked (20 years ago...) it wasn't.

A fresh composition of my Amiga A4000. You can clearly see that I'm not using this computer in fact the last time it has been fired up, is in the last century.
The oxidation on the outside of the FDD, clearly indicates electrolytic capacitors inside which should not be electrified.I will need to recap this whole motherboard before I even attempt to turn it on. I'm not planning to do so though
I have an A4000T which just needs another RTG card. The Picasso 96 that I ordered for the last time broke down after 5 years.
If I really want to I can even repair the Picasso 96. The video IC is just a Cyrus logic IIRC
For me AGA is way too slow to work on such a massive machine
Which is the reason for both the A4000T which is in storage and the A4000 to be idle
Below the Amiga you can see a part of a betamax video recorder.
