it's funny. . . that card was panned for the whole available memory issue. I still used mine in my main gaming rig until about march this year. Just turn down the detail and everything ran fine. Only reason I really needed to upgrade was for VR / 4k resolutions. If a person is on 1080p they...

4080 pricing is just madness. I don't care how big a leap it is over the previous gen. That pricing tells us how they're going to price the entry level garbage that can barely keep up with 1080p, and it ain't pretty. If you thought the 3050 was a horrible deal just wait until we see the 4050.

they cancelled those obviously because they can just use those chips for the higher priced skus. It’s just that simple. It was pretty obvious after a couple months that they had no intention of ever producing those SKUs again.

I backed Star Citizen in like 2014 or whenever, and finally decided to try the alpha last month. I was pleasantly surprised to be honest. It did run kinda crappy (as in I needed a better PC but still was buggy), but I was actually pretty impressed. It's suffered from massive and unprecedented...

Hmm this reminds me: I never played past the first DLC on this. Gonna get all the extras and try to get the VR mod up and running -- anyone know if that still works? I remember on the original Rift DK2 it was pretty flawless and pants-sh**tingly effective. I haven't had enough nightmares...

How about they just start producing, you know, more 6800XTs? Instead of binning them and marking them all up as 6900XTs and 6950XTs?

What the FUCK? I haven't kept up on programming for like 15 years, but is that the shit "programmers" are pumping out? For AAA games? And these people have degrees in programming? Is C and C++ really that hard? (I sure didn't think so!) Of course, that's easy for me to say having not been...

Finally a 3080 12 GB at what its original MSRP should have been.

I got the same. And yet the card worked fine for me up until a few weeks ago when I upgraded. Memory quantity isn't the only factor to consider as we've seen time and time again.

I upgraded both my PCs finally after waiting 2 years. I wasn't about to roll the dice on the next generation when I could get cards at MSRP now (even if during normal times they SHOULD be cheaper). Hell if a 4080 comes out and people CAN actually buy them without using bots within the next 12...

There's your problem: you think you need those big buttons as your defaults. There's more keys within reach without lifting your hand using esdf. I played ogl ladder q2ctf back in the day with a team that wasn't all fluent in English. I had literally every key on my keyboard bound to a hotkey...

Inverted y axis on everything that uses first person perspective. And esdf is where your fingers go. Wasd is an abomination. Why would you move your hand off home row position? THAT doesn't make any sense.

Still rocking a 4790k myself. Wanted to upgrade real bad this year but with AM4 and DDR4 about to go EOL, and Intel's new platform having teething issues with windows 11 and insane ddr5 prices, I just can't get myself to pull the trigger :(

Looks like the board is simple being replace with the z690i aorus ultra "plus" The only difference I can see is wifi 6e vs wifi 6 in the original board? I'm not seeing this new board version for sale anywhere yet either.

This late in the product lifecycle I can't imagine paying over original MSRP. $600 for a 3070 is original price of a 3070 ti, which is already a bad value. Just hold off until something pops up.
