    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Reviews

    https://www.newegg.com/msi-rx-6750-xt-mech-2x-12g-oc/p/N82E16814137735 6750xt being roughly 6% faster than the 6700xt makes it a solid choice when you can find them in the $325 range and it is a little better in power than the 6700xt. I find it really hard to justify $400 for marketing talking...

With a couple 4k screens, couple of PC's, Xbox series X, and a few other things, 1.5 TB is low month for me. So I am going to spin up a DNS cache...

    Starlink Public Beta About to Happen?!?!

    Totally I am not worried at all 😃 Plus one of the base stations is in Charleston OR, like 60 miles as the crow flies. The only person that I know that has it installed nearby, about 10 miles away, is getting speed test around 180mbps and pings in the low 20's I think a lot of the performance...

    Sub $200 advice please.

    Thanks, I am going to wait for a good deal on a 1660 super, its just such a big jump up in fps for not much more than a 5500xt or 1650super, and a whole lot more efficient than a 1070

    Sub $200 advice please.

    They are firm on the price, That is why i am looking at alternatives / newer tech. but holy crap between all the different 1650's and 1660's and the 5500xt and 580's there seems to be about 20 different models numbers in that 150-220 price range. then when you read benchmarks and it seems in 90%...

    New Workstation Threadripper or stick with Intel?

    longevity for the overall system, is the main purpose, like my current setup was overkill 6 years ago when I built it. So if the next system takes me another 6 years it will be worth the little bit extra now. The ram and storage is a non issue, I will go with 32gb as long as I can add another 32...
