Remember when round IDE cables showed up? So much easier to work with!

Still using a touch screen nano, it’s in my garage plugged into an old Altec 2.1 setup. Love that it’s got an FM tuner. Apple sent it to me as a replacement for an earlier version that was recalled(?)... don’t remember the details.

This. I think these run at 1.4MHz and have a megabyte of memory. But they sure are cool!

Maybe get a PCI-E riser card to free up access to the other slot?

I think that’s why he said “more chip production”.

You have no idea what you’re doing. Leave it alone. The card automatically and dynamically lowers the GPU and VRAM clockspeeds when you’re not gaming. You’re achieving nothing by messing with it.

Yeah, come on how is anyone supposed to distinguish between 5800X and 5800X3D... those designations look completely identical! /s ... as if that was really necessary

LOL yes, I'm sure that the reason that 1920x1080 is the top resolution BY FAR is because people are using Steam as a chat platform and not because that's what they game at. 6/10 of the most popular cards are **60 and only 3/10 are **50 (plus 1/10 **70) so I think it's pretty safe to say that...

Plenty being almost 70% of single monitor steam users.... I don't see it going away any time soon.

Sadly not everyone.

Where is the name calling? Didn’t see anything in your quote of his post that could be considered offensive.

Gamer for 40+ years (Jesus I’m old!) and also completely unfamiliar with the FF series. Too many games and too little time to check out something that doesn’t interest me.

Is QNX still popular in the automotive space?

Gross. 20% increase in manufacturing cost usually results in a more significant increase in retail. Unless of course if the manufacturers absorb the increase... bwahahahahahaha

But mining isn’t the only factor at play. You think that’s what’s driving the shortages in the automobile manufacturing? Demand for wafers is high all around. ETH going down isn’t going to immediately make cards available. But hey, if the OP is cool with riding it out for however long it takes-...

There is no guarantee that is going to happen. And, with all the shortages in the electronics industry, I expect things to stay this way for quite a while. What’s it worth to be able to game for the next six months? Is it worth paying a premium? It was for me- I bit the bullet and paid a bit...

Why would they? As long as they are selling as fast as they can make them, manufacturers are getting their $$$. It’s shitty but that’s how it is.

I don’t think any legit Canadian retailers even have listings for the AMD cards so that’s not a surprise. Any of the ones listed probably came from the USA.

Except that they are available- there are dozens available just not from the normal channels. Any one of us could buy one right now if we were willing to pay the scalper tax. I’m not, but lots of people are and as long as people keep paying the inflated prices, the scalpers will continue to...

Looks overdone to me... I guess games are going to overuse this new tech for the first little while.

Actually it’s a 3600X.... WOOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!

Finally lucked out and was able to score an Aorus Elite X570 and a 3600 from a local store. Kind of settled for the 3600 as it seems like at this point it’s a take what you can get situation even though I really wanted a 5600.

It’s not just video cards.... I decided to finally build a new system and finding anything is tough... all the decent motherboards are OOS, CPUs, RAM. I’ve never seen it like this before. Stores are running out of shit to sell.

Nvidia is much smaller than Sony. 2018 revenue was 78B for Sony versus 12B for Nvidia.

Seriously? Yes.

Isn’t there a small switch on the card that lets you select between a performance BIOS or a quiet BIOS?

First FarCry is still the best FarCry as far as I'm concerned. All downhill since then.

That’s because those people are assholes. :)

Actually, what he advocates is don't update immediately, wait to see if there are issues being reported, then update if there aren't. Basically let other people be the guinea pigs. It's a valid strategy although not for every user or every situation and the site is targeted at single users not...

I’m in too! Just wish it was easier to get WUs...

Case lighting was tacky 20 years ago and it’s just as tacky now.

This is not progress unless Intel have something up their sleeve that depends on this being implemented.

But Fortnite items and currency are virtual. You can use actual money to buy in game currency to get items but you can’t do the reverse- there’s no way to sell/trade skins or items that I’m aware of.

All I can do is shake my head at these morons. Seriously, what’s next? Telling people to pay taxes on the Monopoly Hotels they own?

Watched both episodes, not bad, I’m looking forward to the next one. Just typical fluffy entertainment as far as I’m concerned- I don’t see all this other bs you guys are arguing about.

200MB? ... that’s not much, seems odd it was so little. And yeah, not surprised China is doing this stuff, so is every other capable country.

Screw you Creative. Fool me once, shame on me. Won’t get fooled again.

That was my first reaction too just seemed weird that they would be priced the same if the RTX is superior. I’m also wondering about the quality of the Gigabyte versus the Asus- my only experience with Gigabyte was a motherboard years ago that didn’t last while I’ve always found my Asus boards...

Both these cards are available at the same price. Gaming at 1080p, which do you suggest? Why? Gigabyte RTX2060 Windforce OC versus Asus ROG Strix GTX1660Ti Advanced Edition Thanks
