#gpu problems

Finally upgraded my pc, and my new video card only has 1 out of 4 ports giving me signal. My HDMI works but my DPs are being stubborn.

Until I can sort it, guess who isn't working or gaming lol

💬 actual conversation from yesterday:

**Customer:** I need the FASTEST GPU you have 🏃‍♂️ **Me:** okay what's your workload? **Customer:** ...workload? **Me:** yeah like... what are you computing? **Customer:** I need it to be FAST **Me:** fast at doing what exactly? 😅 **Customer:** EVERYTHING **Me:** sir that's not how physics works **Customer:** the guy at [competitor] said H100 is fastest **Me:** fastest at WHAT though **Customer:** ...training? **Me:** training what models? **Customer:** the AI ones **Me:** *internal screaming* 😵‍💫 **Me:** okay let's start over. what do you actually DO? **Customer:** we do customer inference. real-time. maybe 20 users **Me:** so you need A30 with MIG, not H100 **Customer:** but H100 costs more so it must be better **Me:** A30 does your job perfectly for $6,530. H100 is overkill at $40K **Customer:** why would I buy the cheaper one? **Me:** because you're not buying a trophy, you're buying infrastructure **Customer:** ...can I get it in gold? **Me:** it IS silver colored **Customer:** sold! 💳 **Me:** THAT'S NOT— you know what, fine ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ moral: sometimes people just want the shiny thing ✨ and honestly? valid. but if you want the RIGHT thing: 📞 [phone] we'll probably talk you out of spending money (weird business model but it works) 🤷‍♂️
