Sure did. Wow, talk about gaming Nirvana. For the first time in my life I've felt I can play pretty much anything at 100-120 fps with all the bells and whistles for pretty much any game I care to. The Witcher 3 next-gen remake with all settings maxed out in 4k HDR running on my OLED42C2 at...

I ended up going overboard (probably) with a 13900k, and I have zero regrets. Thanks for the great advice from all who posted.

1. EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra with installed Bykski Water Block. I've used this for gaming since Jan 2021, and recently upgraded to a 4090. The GPU was bought through EVGA direct, so I can provide proof of purchase to the buyer, who will be covered under the 3 year trasnferable warranty until...

I use a OLEDCX48 for my couch gaming/MadVR movie watching, and I've just picked up another 42" OLED (LG C2) on a recent deal to pair with my 1600p UW desktop monitor. Naturally, my 4090 only has one HDMI port. I don't have a need to use both TVs at the same time, so that helps. I considered...

Thank you for the insights. I did a bit more digging online yesterday and sorta came to the same conclusion. Now trying to decide what to get. I was leaning on the old "go big or go home" in considering a 13900k, but Microcenter is running an amazing deal right now for a 12900k with Asus mobo...

Hey all, just wanted to get some opinions from the experts here on a potential CPU/mobo upgrade. I saw the recent post about CPU bottlenecks for the 4090, and it looks like it can be somewhat significant with an AMD 5800X compared to newer hardware, and the gap is only going to widen a bit more...

Okay.

I'm ashamed to say that I paid a scalper on eBay for my Evga 3080 FTW3 Ultra. It was around $350 over msrp, and I figured I was "lucky" to get that by buying right when the announcement of how solid the benchmarks are for AMDs new cards. Mt rationale was that the gpu demand situation has been...

Selling my 2080ti EVGA FTW3 Ultra Gaming model. Includes original box and all packaging. For reference, it's this one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KVKRLG2/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Card works perfectly. Have never removed the cooler or done any sort of...

This. The last time I bought an AMD it was a 7970, and in the 5% of cases where the drivers worked, the software I was running it with worked, and it wasn't overheating to reduce my performance, it was fucking fantastic. But eventually I got fed up with all the (majority case) caveats and...

Agree, this is ridiculous. I much preferred the last time around when they all went live with a good amount of stock at least through most of the first several hours after the broadcast. Hardware didn't ship for another month or so, but at least you could pre-order.

Saw about 6 models go up on newegg, tried several times to add any of them to my cart, but was never able to get to checkout. Now all gone, apparently. Nice.

Just supply and demand. MSRP is pretty meaningless when there's zero stock, especially when it's on a product that a) isn't even released yet, and b) had been forecasted to have supply issues likely through the new year at least. I really doubt prices are going to change much over the next...

Couldn't agree more. Playing Doom (2017) at 4k120 is a helluva experience, even without HDR
