The power connector. Why is there a power connector? Why GTX 1630? Why?

I am considering on waiting for the 6000 series.

The more I heard about the 3060, the less I wanted it.

I think I'll just roll with my 2060 and upgrade my processor to a 5600X soon. It's been shown that Zen 3 helps VR framerates significantly over Zen 2. Thanks for the help, all.

I intend to join EVGA's waitlist. I want a stronger card for VR. What else can I do to battle the bots? Will my local Best Buy get any?

When the R9 380 is dying and I thought about buying a $160 GTX 1650 Super.

GPU prices slowly, but steadily coming down now.

Nah, I just have a vanilla with 8 slots and 32GB ECC RAM that I think cost less than $50 when I bought it. I'll keep an eye out for that 2667v2. Thanks!

It's a shame I'm only just now learning about this board. I have a nice, stable Asrock EP2C602 server board, but arr. Still think the endgame for this particular system is the E5-2667v2s or 2687Wv2. Just gotta keep riding the gpurampocalypse with ECC DDR3.

2680v2's my second option. I deal with a few programs heavily where there's diminishing returns after 16 cores. I'll probably settle for the cheaper solution. At least I have a pair of E5-2670s and E5-2643s to sell off.

Arg, don't let them know that. I was hoping to put two of these in my dual 2011 soon at a cheaper price.

My favorite processor was the Core 2 Duo E4300. Dirt cheap processor. Only 1.8GHz, but highly overclockable. Mine ran at 3.3Ghz and it was a big improvement over the dumpster fire Pentium D 820.

I don't recommend getting anything except for what's on the memory QVL. The Asrock EP2C602 would blue-screen frequently with four sticks of 8GB Corsair Ballistix DDR3-1600. I just loaded up all the slots with cheap ECC Samsung RAM and haven't had a problem since.

I have an ASRock 2011 server board for some dual xeons. No official BIOS supports booting from NVMe M.2 drives, but when I asked their support line they e-mailed me a custom BIOS that apparently does the trick. Ya never know.
