    Gigabyte and PNY 5070 $499 @ NewEgg

    That isn’t quite the way I see it. Graphics cards have been that much or more for the last 5 generations. A 1080ti cost $700. Many things have doubled in price since almost 10 years ago since the 1080TI launch. A 5070, legitimately is a great card and is faster relative to today’s game tech...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    ??? What makes you say they don’t make games like they used to? Two games came out this year I’ve quite enjoyed and seem the respective best in genre. Path of Exile 2 ARC Raiders

    Recommend me a vlogging camera for Podcasting, and low light Home Theater Tours and 1 on 1 interviews

    I ended up with a insta360 link 2 webcam for the podcasts and it works quite well and fits the need. https://a.co/d/6V2bFcm

    Bitcoin and XRP, Time to buy

    Do I have you beat? I mined 47,000 sia coin with a antminer that I paid around half a bitcoin for. That half a bitcoin would have been worth ~$60,000. My sia coin is worth less than $100.

    Hearthstone

    This was my last Hearthstone battlegrounds match. How the heck does someone get 13 million damage on a minion in Battlegrounds?

    TPM modules - do you need to buy name brands?

    I got the cheaper TPM from Amazon I was asking about. And installed Windows 11 with zero issue or hacks from the free windows 11 USB based installer straight from Microsoft. Without the TPM 2.0 chip it wouldn’t do that Gigabyte X99 motherboard has no windows 11 drivers, but the windows HCL...

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears 2025

    It’s not just the speed, it’s also that the the DLSS 4 actually looks decent now. I always thought DLSS 3 looked pretty crappy on 3080. Frame gen works great at 2x. Feels very natural. I didn’t even have that option on 3080. To me it feels like double the performance or better, plus way...

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears 2025

    I think 5070TI was the play this round. It’s played everything I’ve tried this generation with no issue and was a giant leap up from my 3080. Within spitting distance of the 5080 and runs cooler and pretty much available everywhere for $750. I was disappointed it was all I could get early on...

    MSI Z890 Tomahawk wifi plus Intel Ultra 9 285 for $593.72 shipped.

    Did you read the benchmarks? Feel free to post a counter test on parity to this one that shows something more favorable to the newest gen Intel. But a small power savings for a desktop PC isn’t a draw by its lonesome. That test I linked from tech power up is reasonably comprehensive and tests...

    TPM modules - do you need to buy name brands?

    Just consideration of the thought of this being a security module, and that module being compromised by the creator to be some sort of unknown backdoor. As to why not just bypass. I guess I don't want to play cat and mouse with updates breaking it down the line, like this...
