Yeah, I've never seen someone get taken out with a knee to the chest. Sonnen was a huge letdown in that fight after that much build up and trash talk. Props to Silva. Being one of the older fighters and still making everyone else look stupid is very impressive.

Rashad did something similar to Tito Ortiz in their last fight, a flush knee to the chest leaves you gasping for air.

Don't care what it was called officially, Silva kneed Sonnen in the face, and it was an illegal kick

I expect a third fight in a few years

He didn't.

Nothing but chest. Out of all of the things to criticize about the fight, that knee shouldn't be one of them.

The thigh might have clipped his mouth but by definition there is no illegal thigh kicks (or whatever you want to call it) defined in the unified rules of mma.

Also as a bonus, go back and watch the weigh in clip when Rogan interviews Sonnen. You'll notice Rogan lip syncs verbatim the exact words coming out of Sonnen's mouth. This fight was so choreographed in the hype department. Too funny.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
