Another vote for watching from the sideline. 7000 series is faster, but hot, hot, hot🥵! I recently upgraded from 3700X to 5900X to stick with a good chip from an established (yeah, EOL too) platform.

It's most certainly a combination of many things. Kudos to Jensen for being diplomatic, but the way Andrew made the announcement I don't really see the two as "great friends" anymore.

Yeah, but if that's all there was to it why didn't Andrew Han just come out and say that? Why not just issue a press release and move on? Why invite the youtoobers out to CA to stir up a bunch of drama?

Bling-Bling! I went the pragmatic route and just used some black lego to address the little bit of sag from the 3080Ti.

These 4000 series cards are so freaking big that we're going to go full circle- time to turn your case on it's side and plant your monitor on the top again just like your old Packard Bell 386.

There are a lot of adults out there that could stand to repeat kindergarten a few more times...

I won't pretend I understand how to run a business, but, like a lot of things in life, I don't think you can point to any single reason here why EVGA gave up GPU's. After reading for a few days now, here's my take (on thread page 11, heh). No doubt I've missed multiple somethings...

There is a more-or-less official acknowledgment of the news in their forums by JacobF: https://forums.evga.com/Official-Message-from-EVGA-Management-m3574574.aspx And here's the first write-up I could find for those like me who are video-adverse...

Right, what's going on? EVGA went straight to Jay-Z and Tech Jeebus directly without an official announcment? This is crazy.

At work/tldw- what's the story here? Is there an official press release or just tech toober coverage?

I don't think reliability is a big issue with these, but can't speak to it personally as I haven't used mine that much. I am pretty sure that a company called Gamevice built the V1 Kishi for Razer though, so general razer reliability issues may not apply here.

I grabbed one of these off of ebay a few months back for about $38. Alternatively, Best Buy has these on sale currently for $45 (Android) or $50 (Xbox) if you don't trust "open box" (mine looked new and works well). There's really no difference between the "Android" and "Xbox" versions of these...

Yep, that's me. Started out with a 1700X and an X470 board. Sold the 1700X to a friend and dropped in a 3700X. Now planning on building the kid a rig around the 3700X and upgrading to the 5800X/X3D and trying my best to sit AM5 out.

This was the main concern I had about buying one (and the reason I was patient and waited for a sale)- that it is still the 2019 model and a new shield version should be forthcoming. But as far as I know there's been no announcement from nVidia, just that a new one is "due". I can't speak to...

Still have my 2500k going strong in my kid's gaming PC. Just sat down and tweaked it back to 4.4 GHz the other evening. An oldie but a goodie.
