I feel like if you are already paying $450 for a 7700XT, spend the extra $50 and get a 16GB card with more performance. The A770 has come a long way but I think AMD drivers will still be much better than Intel's.

I have a RTX 4070 Founders Edition. I play at 4K 60hz. I previously owned 3090Ti/3090/2080Ti/Titan V and for the first time I decided to scale down and get the 4070 this time around (need $$$ for other toys lol). The 4070 performs well in all of my games at 4K. I don't even need to use DLSS to...

I use Plex now, but I do still have MediaPortal installed. I used version 1 mainly, and it was my go-to for a long time. Not sure how well it holds up today, but they do have a version 2 now.

This same thing happened to me, the heatsink felt like it was glued on the cpu on my cousins PC. CPU came out with it, almost had a heart attack, but everything was fine. I never had a AM4 system myself so didn't realize it can happen either. I also recommend warming it up. Do a cinebench...

Nice to see nVidia still providing updates for these older GPUs. I have some 980Ti's I'll have to check if they need updating. I'm just curious how it affects GPUs that are factory overclocked (I have a SC & 2x FTW models).

I had 3-way SLI GTX 480s. I actually liked that GPU and it overclocked well. But yeah they did run hot. Winter was great, just needed to launch a game :D

I'm running Windows 11 on my SR-2 (2x X5676) Xeon build. I used Rufus to make the ISO and added the bypass checkbox. I get major updates just fine, so idk if I got lucky but for me it works fine. On my Sandy Bridge I am running Windows 10 Pro. Works perfectly fine. I think you can't go wrong...

6750XT if you don't care about dlss, frame gen, etc. 4060Ti (16gb preferred) if you want dlsss, frame gen, etc.

I hardly used mine. Gave it to my brother, he doesn't even use it and said he's gonna sell it. Honestly, the deck itself isn't bad and steamOS is good. But lots of my games only work on windows. I did try installing windows and it does work, but steamOS has way better optimizations for the...

I've dealt with EVGA warranty twice for RMA in the last maybe 13 years. Excellent customer service. I don't know if there is anyone close to them today. I did have to RMA a XFX 4850 a long time ago and their process was decent, but they only do AMD. For this gen I went with nvidia for...

I don't know why nVidia decided to go with lower VRAM this gen. I have 8GB of VRAM on my 880M from 2014, 9 years later we're still seeing 8GB VRAM. They should have done 24GB 4090 20GB 4080 16GB 4070 12GB 4060 Ti 8GB 4060 Now they have a $399 4060Ti 8GB and $499 4060Ti 16GB. $100 away...

Maybe the 5000 series will come with the updated design. I don't see it coming anytime soon.

I'd rather have a 48GB Titan that was originally rumored (if price was right) but this gen I settled on RTX 4070. that 4-slot cooler doe...

As someone who still has three 18.4" Alienware laptops there definitely is a difference in screen size. Personally I ended up throwing RTX 3000 GPUs in my M18xR2 & AW18 to keep them relevant in todays time. Packed with 32GB RAM, MXM NVMe SSD adapter, they aren't too bad. However, so far there...

I know Onkyo has a option for their own EQ software that might do something similar however, I have not seen any option in the DIRAC live app. i'll have to take a look to see if it was updated. I did all my stuff back in Dec 2021.
