Check out the resistor color code reference cards I just ... bringing the total project to $5.01 — that’s 42 cents per card which is a big break from the $9 the Octopart version is asking.

Without the pull-up resistor, we’ll never see anything ... no new commands can be sent until the card reaches the last byte of memory. Starting at read address 0, it takes 256*8 clock pulses ...

you can technically push RTX 50-series memory clocks even further—all the way up to a stonking 36 Gbps. That's if you want to risk pushing your card well past its stated limits, of course.
