    Pre-Reviews: A770 vs. RX7700XT (for NVidia Avoiders...)

    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.

    Question Is 4070 (non ti) a good option for 1440p gaming?

    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...

    OK, KODI sucks really really bad

    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.

    When I removed the HSF, the CPU came out with it..Broke?

    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...

    NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool for DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 - Fix for black screen until OS loads for Pascal, Maxwell and Kepler cards

    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).

    One of Nvidia's most Controversial GPU

    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

    Best OS to install on a 2600K / Sandy Bridge system?

    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...

    3060ti/4060ti/6750XT

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

    Has the Steam Deck stayed part of your gaming life?

    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...

    Best brand now sense EVGA is gone at least with video cards ? :(

    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...

    The Slowing Growth of vRam in Games

    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...

    Looking for a BIG laptop 18+ inches

    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...

    HDMI 2.1 AVR Recommendations (2021)

    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.

    Anyone get their Steam Deck ordered?

    Honestly I was surprised they let me RMA it but the process went smoothly. I'm sure the 2nd gen version will be much better, but this one isn't bad as long as you don't need to send it back. The fan on my new one seems to be louder but everything else seems fine. I'm just waiting for Valve to...

    Ah I forgot about this thread. I've been using my Onkyo TX-RZ50 since December. I ended up giving my Denon X4700H to my brother. I like my Onkyo much better (my previous receiver was Onkyo TX-NR838). Running 7.1.4 set-up. One out to my 4K TV and second out to 4K projector. Haven't had any...

    Anyone get their Steam Deck ordered?

    I had to RMA my first 256GB Steam Deck I received 2 weeks ago. had a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Valve had me send it back and sent me a new one. No dead pixels. Kinda want to see the 512gb screen in person. My brother has one ordered but won't get it until next month.

    Upgrade or wait: mid 2022 edition

    Seems like your PSU was fine for 5950x + RTX 3080Ti. Then again I used a 875W PSU from 2014 on my 10980XE + RTX 3090 and it was fine. I upgraded to a EVGA 1200 P+ but the 875W is still used in another build. Did you end up selling 2080?

    Will you upgrade to the S22 ultra?

    MicroSD cards can be fast f we're talking UHS-II + cards. As for me, I wanted the S22 Ultra. The wife said no, since I had just bought the iPhone 13 Pro Max last year. :(

    HDMI 2.1 AVR Recommendations (2021)

    So the ports were not in full bandwidth? What were they at, 24gbps vs 40 or 48 now? I had to do something similar to my current Denon X4700H but I still need the little converter box in between

    Why is Microcenter scalping people.

    Oops yeah I meant 3090/3080 GPUs. The 3070Ti FTW and below use two 8-pin, which is nice.

    I still haven't gotten any XC3 models I've been in queue since September. The thing I don't like about FTW3 models etc is the 3 power plug requirement.

    What is your "coping" strategy for the time until you can get a latest-model Nvidia/AMD GPU?

    What is your "coping" strategy for the time until you can get a latest-model Nvidia/AMD GPU?

    I have a similar issue. Only card I was able to buy is a EVGA RTX 3090 Hybrid so the 240mm radiator was stuffed into my 5.25” slot area lol. I’m using an Alienware Aurora R4 case so there’s no room for a radiator like that.

    What is your "coping" strategy for the time until you can get a latest-model Nvidia/AMD GPU?

    I’ve also always bought the Titan card of each generation (only didn’t own black, Z and RTX). Luckily the 3090 was cheaper than the RTX Titan and little did I know the GPU supply would be bad this long. The 3090 was the easiest to buy so I guess it kinda worked out for my personal build although...

    It was an MSI model forget exact one. I’m sure the price is what the AIb charges or close to it but still $599 msrp to $949 for an aib model is quite a lot

    I went to best buy today. They had a 3070Ti for $949 lol. I think everyone is charging a lot from AIB to retailer.

    What if the crypto craze never ends?

    Even if crypto crashed tomorrow I don’t think GPU supply and prices will come back anytime soon. This has become a cycle really. There’s crypto years where it’s booming and there’s years where it’s down. But the chip shortage has caused lots of delays and production issues.

    I can agree on battery life. My iPhones have always gotten worse battery life compared to my android phones.
