    FS: RTX 4090, 3090, 3080Ti, 2080Ti

    Yup I still remember that... was it a Q6660? That might have been the first in-person transaction I did. Everything was so much better then with this hobby. GPUs actually available on Newegg, 50% overclocks on those Core 2 Duo/Quads. Etc. Sigh... well, just something to tell my own kid about...

    Thanks and done. Any idea on how long does it take my account to show 2FA? For now everything is pending.

    ASUS Plans Up to 30% PC Price Increase Amid DRAM and CPU Shortages

    So, it looks like these days I can get more for my 8x32GB of DDR4 that I purchased for a little bit over a $1000... in 2021. My high-end RAM upgrades from 2020-2021 are really the only reason I'm in any place to upgrade. I'm upgrading my 3970X workstation finally to a 9970X workstation, and it...

    I got bored of playing games so I made one myself: Rezarus: Armor Evolved

    Some more recent play from Impulse Wars! This is the "silly mode" of the game - using ramps/edges etc to try to launch your opponents off of. You end up with really funny sequences of events that lead to a kill or death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sezIMRlSVtw

    RTX PRO 6000 released with 96GB of VRAM

    I miss the days (2013) when $1K Titans were considered outrageous. We did not properly inflation adjust since then. :(

    I got bored of playing games so I made one myself: Rezarus: Armor Evolved

    What's up all! We play some games now weekly - usually Thursday evenings. As usual, it's free to hop on and you have access everything. And for anyone new, the game now features mouse aiming, and if you play lasers/ctf - an auto shield shifter module (use the 4th preset loadout in the mode) so...

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Performance, Overclocking and Cooling Thread

    Are there any boards that support bifurcation of a 16x or 8x slot down to 4x/4x/4x/4x or 2x/2x/2x/2x? I have a NVME raid card I'd like to use and would also be fine with running the GPU in an 8x slot.

    Long due bump - game is now free to play on Itch! Join us for some small daily skirmishes (often evenings CST) if you can handle playing old school keyboard only!

    5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

    And with that, the great GPU pricing experiment is coming to an end. But there's still always the TITAN class of GPUs that could probably command $3K. For the x90 it looks like $2-$2.5K may be the max the market is willing to support - but we need a month or two of consistent overstock to really...

    The Death of Affordable Computing | Tariffs Impact & Investigation

    Aside from the GPU market everything else is still OK... for now. Sure, it would be nice to get a 9800X3D for less than $500, but it's pretty much the equivalent of a $350 E6600 way back when. Same goes for the motherboard, RAM, etc. If we're going to compare to when you could get the top of...

    5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

    I think people are just going to have to get used to settling for a 5080 or 9070XT from here on out, because AI is always going scoop up whatever Nvidia is producing at the high end. For current 4090 owners that may even mean waiting until the 6080 releases.

    5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

    I'd say 4K/240Hz is the standard for those buying 5090s. If you're buying a $3K GPU, I'd also expect that you are pairing it properly with a top of the line $1K 4K/240 OLED - and I only point out its price because it's much less than the GPU itself. A 4K/240 OLED is a nice jump over something...

    It Might Be Time to Admit the Great VR Experiment Has Failed

    I think VR suffers a high rate of rapid burnout. It's something that's cool to try and experience, but the thought of putting a headset now is kind of turn off. And teleporting honestly just sucks. I think there's a great future for AR since it will give you full freedom of motion, but it's a...

    Closed.

    I'm interested in your 5090 FE noise experience. I have a Gigabyte 4090 as well and the cooler is so large on the card that even when I overclock it, I never hear it. There is no difference in idle vs load sound. It's kind of spoiled me in that regard - there's no way I want to return to...
