I like my 4080. I know it’s slower than a 4090, it’s also cheaper. My favorite thing is many manufacturers are using the same giant heatsinks on the 4080s so they run super cool. Mine does anyway lol

Still barely worth it over the 980 Pro

I’m in software development and anyone at his level who wastes time coding is shooting himself in the foot when the visionary and leadership stuff is a much bigger opportunity to move the needle in an organization the size of Facebook. It sounds like they offered him a higher level than he...

my last gaming build was a threadripper + 1080ti. since i skipped two generations RTX 4080 seems like a reasonable purchase. as an upgrade from 3080+ ? maybe not so much. but who cares what other people think if you like it lol

same thing. i was so excited to drop almost $2k on an nvidia card too :(

Nice cable management!

Hopefully you guys disabling the static image dimming bought the Geek Squad warranty.

I've used Windows, Linux and Apple computers for software engineering work, and I find that Macbooks and MacOS are just a bit better to use for the types of work I do (some linuxy terminal stuff plus a lot of browser and Adobe Creative Suite). The only way to run Linuxy stuff in Windows is via...

I've never seen a performance hit, it's just buggy AF in every game ...

great sound card, if my macbook air had an ISA slot i'd still be using it today

Will the Intel GPU be 14nm lol

My husband bought an Alienware Aurora R10 to get a 5950x / 6800 XT and then shucked the components into his existing Corsair case because the Alienware Aurora R10 thermal performance sucks balls. To give an idea of how godawful this case design is, here is a photo from PC Magazine: Fun facts...

I was just bored on a conference call and happened to click over to Best Buy the moment they posted their RTX cards, pure luck.

Wow, holy grail. I snagged a 3090 FE on Best Buy.

I've transacted with dutnguye many times in the past and actually met him in person a couple of times to do trades back when I lived in the SF Bay Area. he has always been a stand-up guy and for whatever it's worth i take him at his word when he says his account was compromised.

Every time I go to Microcenter it’s like one GT 1030 in stock that nobody wants

Probably nothing will go wrong

this guy maths

The TotalTech membership is actually a good deal if you shop at Best Buy a lot.

Damn I just bought three of these TVs for hundreds of dollars more each than that lol

Good thing I’m already a Total Tech member lol It’s actually not a bad deal if you buy a TV + Geek Squad mounting from them.

It’s LGBTIQ+ BIPoC Day you bigot

F for effort

Lucky! I wanted a 3090 but settled on a scalped PS5 reee

I think this is late-stage capitalism summed up in one video that will quickly be deleted for violating Twitter's "community guidelines"

I'm parting out yet another X399 computer - this one is the 12-core 2920X build. Still a great choice if you want to rip some threads and drive some PCIe lanes! Check my 15+ years positive Heatware (in sig). AMD Threadripper 2920X - $240 shipped ConUS Gigabyte X399 Xtreme Mobo - $300 shipped...

well that best buy thing was a shit show.

SOLD I accept Google Wallet, Apple Pay, Venmo, and BTC I'm parting out the workstation in my signature. Check my 15+ years of positive Heatware. I've switched to a laptop so I don't need it anymore.

price drop bump

SOLD I accept Google Wallet, Apple Pay, Venmo, and crypto. NO PAYPAL. Check my positive Heatware in signature for 15+ years. I had this in a Linux workstation box (also in sig) and barely did any gaming with it. The thing looks sick with RGB.

Read the FS/T Rules before you waste time in an off-topic thread.

I “won” the $1800 MSI 3080 Ti on today’s shuffle. Passed on it though.

I don’t think cellular is ever worth it for an iPad. Most of the time you will have Wifi, and the rest of the time you’ll have your phone and can tether it.

Got my M1 desk setup finally.

That’s dumb 😞 Still waiting for my pickup order to come in but I’ll report back.

Do you have the expertise and equipment to reflow / re-solder those components yourself? In principle, yes, it's fixable. But probably not by you unless you're an electronics expert.
