History
The locality is named after Woodwark Bay, which was in turn named after George Smith Woodwark (mayor of King's Lynn) in 1886 by Lieutenant G.E. Richards of HMQS Paluma.[2] It is believed that the name was suggested by Lieutenant Alexander Leeper of Paluma as his family lived in King's Lynn.[3]
gollark: Nvidia added real-time raytracing stuff to distract from the lack of significant generational price/performance improvement (because of poor competition in the market), and machine learning stuff for some reason, and then hyped them so much that they threw out stuff like "sanity" and "consistent branding".
gollark: AMD's got a 5700 XT "Anniversary Edition", though...
gollark: Nvidia's done it stupidly *too*! It goes GTX 9x0 (Ti) → GTX 10x0 (Ti) → RTX 20x0 (Ti) + GTX 16x0 (Ti) (in the same generation) → now some of them have "Super" variants for some reason and some are being replaced by the super versions but some aren't.
gollark: The prices seem to be weirdly shifted in Australia.
gollark: If you want something slightly better than your current GPU, there's the RX 580, which is quite cheap, and yes the naming schemes are stupid.
