The main FPS game I played on it was CoD (Warzone2), and while it looked cool, it was tedious looking left/right and felt like it it gave me a disadvantage because of that more than anything. FOV felt wonky and unnatural too. Elite Dangerous (which I enjoyed it on) didn't feel great with the...

Odyssey G9 owner - I had the opposite experience. Other than Elite Dangerous, it was annoying and superfluous on every game I played, even those that natively supported supported the resolution. I can see this great for sims or certain niche games imo. Went to a 21:9 OLED and it's been great to...

I have a x570 master, and not a pro, although I'm sure the BIOS's are very similar. The most recent release allowed PBO2/CO support of the 5800x3d. It's been fine on my unit. Run -15 on all cores, and everything will peg at 4.45GhZ full load. It maxes around 75C with a 360mm AIO, but most gaming...

Just got the email as well. Lovely.

I'm running a Seasonic titanium 850W with zero issues so far in games and benchmarks. Running 4090 at stock, maxes out to right under 450W 5800x3D uses ~90W most game loads, max 105W (3) NVME drives 360mm AIO w 9 RGB fans

I didn't necessarily say anything about needing more cores with that statement. A 5600x would likely (slightly) beat out a 5800x3D in some single or low-multithreaded tasks. The 5800x3D existence is for gaming, so this is a bit different than the general core debate. If you're not prioritizing...

As much as I like Brent and miss him on these forums, that review is old and a bit flawed. He's blatantly GPU limited on most of those tests running ultra/high (even in 1080p). He's 2 models behind the flagship GPU at the time as well. It tells us more about the 3080ti capabilities than the CPUs...

Eh, you never know who you're dealing with in support, but glad to hear they're giving you a good option. My one RMA experience with AMD was pleasant, it was about a 2 week turn-around time from the date I shipped it. Although it was 18 years ago back in the A64 days.

Yeah, it's not all common for CPU's to fail if running in a stable setup over years, so I'd be even skeptical that it's 100% the cause if they didn't give any specifics. I'd imagine they still buy their components PIB and likely have the full warranty with manufacturers being that they're not a...

The warranty will be through the system builder (Velocity Micro) and not AMD unfortunately. If you click on the "System Builder" link on this page, they're actually listed at the bottom: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/warranty-information/desktop-kit-step2a Poking around their site, it looks...

Picked up a pair, thanks! They were at this price for a couple of days on Amazon back in December. Only need 2 more now to replace out the rest of 10TB in one of my 8 bays. We'll see if the Paypal or Honey discounts hit, but good price regardless.

Xbox 360 Arcades were under $200 as early as 2008, and were ~$150 MSRP by 2010. There were other versions that were $199 MSRP in later years as well.

I still see over 200 in stock here at the Dallas Microcenter.

Yeah, even some of the 720p tests are bottlednecked with a 3080. Pretty poor review considering there were 2-3 faster GPU's they could have used during that time.

Aside from the already mentioned 6600XT/6650XT, used 2070 Supers or 1080ti's would probably give you the best boost in that range. IIRC those should be 20-30% better on a lot of titles compared to the normal 1080's. 3060ti's will also be around that performance level, but I doubt you could find...

Gee I wonder why. We went through 2 years of nearly every new GPU being bought by miners or scalpers immediately when it hit store's inventory. Notice the heavy shipment drop in the article correlates exactly when the Ethereum POS merge date was confirmed in Q2, and the price was already down...

I made this switch over the weekend after receiving an impromptu giftcard and using the Microcenter new customer coupon. So far the experience has been good. On my main gaming PC, I play FPS games at 1080p @ 240hz and 1440p @ 120hz for everything non-FPS. I've noticed higher minimum/average...

I generally agree with jobert - I think the i5 will hold you back in quite a few games with a 6700XT. Will you get an overall boost? Sure, definitely, but you're going to be heavily CPU limited in almost any modern game. Early last year my brother has a skylake i5 paired with a 2080 and he was...

It’s a weird graph. It took me a triple take to figure what the hell is going on. I'm back and forth to whether or not I think they should have even mentioned the X3D on that chart.

What were you expecting exactly? You're showing us a chart where $300 CPU's are performing on par with $500-800 chips. Clearly a beefier CPU is going to have minimal effect with a GPU bottleneck, as it does in most modern games in 4k. As someone that does a lot of encoding, the productivity...

https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch I used this with a 1660ti and I got 6 1080p transcodes without a hitch.

It seems like they're mentioning generations and not the refreshes inside of them - the summary of the 1080 does mention the Ti and the performance increase it had. With that said, I personally believe the 1080ti was one of, if not the best card Nvidia has ever made. The card was a monster.

I’ll mostly stay out of this laptop gaming argument, but a quick anecdote as an avid gamer and road warrior that has a higher-end gaming laptop, I rarely use it and know no-one that games on the road. It seems extremely niche to me – if you game (outside of mobile devices), travel or move around...

A couple of months ago, my brother brought me into the custom keyboard world as a birthday gift. I've switched things around a bit. Here's my current setup: Mouse: Logitech G Pro Wireless Keyboard: IDOBAO ID80 Crystal (75%) Akko ASA Clear/White caps EG Aqua King Linear 62g switches Some...

I shut mine off the other day. After electricity costs, I would have maybe been netting $2-3 a day, and that's before ETH dropped another $500. I think my mining run is over - grossed ~$8k over the past 15 months which isn't too shabby for not spending any extra money on GPU's or mining hardware.

All different models and controllers (see red text in image), so it's not the best anecdote, but the ADATA SSD directly under my GPU is actually the coolest by a good margin. The 970 EVO below the GPU is actually wedged between a Thunderbolt card and a 10GbE card, which is likely why it is much...

Not getting the $50 popup unfortunately, but definitely a great deal if you can get it to work. Edit: it finally popped up after refreshing the page ~30 minutes later. Ordered and 5000 points pending.

I used Webroot for many years and I could not get it to work with miners even if you whitelisted the executables or folders. Switched to Malwarebytes because of that and it's been fine.

I think I'm done mining RTM for now. Not a fan of the extra heat and power from the 5950x/3900xt. I was still getting anywhere from 50-90 RTM a day. I'll sit on 10k in case it ever pumps in price.

Yeah my daily average went from $9-10, up to $16 yesterday (and now back down to normal). Not sure what happened tbh.

Happy and sad I missed this. Things are getting tight with the 10tb/8tb drive arrays.

Bump. Both OTA HDHomeruns sold. Prime still available.

I'm getting between 70-80 RTM a day with a 5950x and 3900xt which is probably a little less than $2/day with my electricity rates. I'll probably keep at it until I get to sub 50 a day unless the pricing substantially changes, but I plan to just hold the 6k or so I have long-term. edit: actually...

Bump. Still have these items for sale. Sold the TiVO stuff locally.

The SK Hynix is vastly superior for laptops because of it's power usage, and it has very well-rounded performance as well. If I recall correctly with reviews, it was hanging with or trading blows with the Samsung's lineup and most of the other higher end drives with random I/O.

Yesterday was the 1st day I made sub-100 (88), but I was gaming for ~4 hours, and upgraded the Plex server to a 5700G, so it was offline for a while. I also seem to have quite a few random stratum hangs while using the Supernova pool, and I sometimes have to restart the mining clients on...

Glad to hear it's resolved. I know the 660 supports NVENC, but I'd imagine it's pretty limited on capabilities. I recall the 1050ti's were the cheaper GPU's of choice for Plex transcoding in recent years, but I doubt they're that affordable for what they are during these crazy GPU times.
