    The 4th one should be fine for a 13 year old. The 1st-3rd, would be good for a fan of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia + Saw".

    Asus and their USELESS warranty. (they are at least trying now)

    This is hilarious...I try to reach out to ASUS here on [H], and they closed their profile page, which only had 3 posts....So, the resolution they agreed to on Twitter was to send me a New-In-Box Card as a replacement, only caveat is that I loose 3GB of VRAM, but I don' t mind at this point, I...

    OMG I get it...My definition of HONOR is that the Business does whatever possible to help satisfy the customer, especially when as a service or product provider the business screws up. Your definition of "HONOR" is satisfying the letter of the agreement, but not the spirit of the agreement. I...

    Asus and their USELESS warranty. (they are at least trying now)

    Chances are higher that a refurbished card is defective, than a brand new card is defective. Your example/argument is invalid. Though to be fair, ASUS has reached out to me and admitted to their substandard RMA-Support, and agreed to swap out for a new-in-box card of comparable performance and...

    Wow, so I personally experience 3 defective cards in a row, and show other people with similar experiences (and others posting here after my post), and you wouldn't get the impression that they are trying to "wear down the customer" ? When MY customers have to call back a SECOND time, with...

    Asus and their USELESS warranty. (they are at least trying now)

    I sent them my article on Twitter, and got an immediate response, and apology. They are swapping it with a "Card of equivalent performance and aesthetics". The RMA department is hot trash, but the Social media side seems much better.

    Asus and their USELESS warranty. (they are at least trying now)

    I'm guessing you missed this part. " From the stories I received, Asus does NOT honor RMAs. Asus send out defective cards as an RMA, in hopes of wearing down the user to the point they give up." And in my article, I had several other users who had the same experience. I guess the best way to...

    Asus and their USELESS warranty. (they are at least trying now)

    I get that for a comparably cheap PSU (well, compared to a close to $1000 graphics card, your PSU is objectively cheap, hence toss-able). But with Asus ignoring me at this point it may now time to look for a Radeon 7.

    Battlefield V NVIDIA Ray Tracing - CPU Testing @ [H]

    Rule of thumb for gaming, 2 Threads = 1 Non-SMT Core So and i7 7700k @ 5Ghz SHOULD perform about the same as an i5 9600k @ 5Ghz.

    Rumors Suggest Nvidia Could Launch Turing Cards Without Raytracing

    nVidia is just pushing the mid-end chips and trying to pass them as high end chips. They started this when the Geforce x80 chip went from using a G_00 die to a G_04 die. For example, the GTX580 actually used the high-end GF110 chip, while it's successor the GTX680 used the Mid-Tier GK104, with...

    Intel Announces Sunny Core CPU Architecture, 3D Stacking and More
