Meanwhile my X570 build has been my most stable in recent memory. It has been rock-solid and much better than the Intel board it replaced. Though that could just be a Gigabyte (X570) vs Asrock (Intel) difference. Anyway, anecdotal evidence is just that and YMMV ;) Not a fanboy and both sides...

When we built our new house back in 2014 I put in a 20A dedicated circuit to my office just for my PC. It is more about having clean power by not sharing the circuit with appliances, etc. but has worked out well ;)

I made the same switch last week and even at 4K it has been worth it for the poorly optimized or CPU bound games like WOW, Civ, Stellaris, etc. It seemed silly at first but I can't argue with the results. Pegged at 4K120 or showing GPU utilization at 100% if less than that. I agree with the...

I liked mine so much I bought a 5800x to replace it. The consumer drives were basically rebadged enterprise drives. I love the reliability, the insane low latency and never having to worry about endurance. In my use case the drive will have some sort of physical failure before the media wears...

I got the HC product page up once with no notify button yet. Totally unresponsive for the last 7-8 minutes. Wake me up in 2022, so sick of this garbage.

True but my 75" Sony 940E from 2017 gets closer than anything else I've seen, without the burn-in. This display was a unicorn. 95 % of the performance of the Z9D that was twice the price. Sony got wise and this was the last display they made that was so close in performance to the flagship...

Very happy with my 5950x and zero regrets at this point. It is a monster and easily handles everything I throw at it and runs quite cool. The user experience has been exceptional so far. I was really hoping Intel would pull off a surprise win, but they are between a rock and a hard place...

I have to agree with the thought that this game is more about the story and the characters. There have been some really cool moments with your "copilot". The bugs don't bother me so much, certainly nothing game breaking. I also think it looks great turned up on my 2080Ti at 1440p@120Hz. I...

Interesting, but about 3X what I would pay at this point. Unless my current drive dies, the real life gains would be hard to justify at that price, especially without a capacity improvement (in fact a reduction from the 900p base model). The only place I can find a listing is ~$1300 for 400Gb...

That is a shame. I love my 900P as a boot drive where low latency and high random IO performance is more important than sequential throughput. I was looking forward to a PCIE 4.0 version based on gen 2 3D Xpoint. Oh well, this thing will last a long time and maybe Micron will come up with...

I have one installed and updated waiting for my 5950x to get here tomorrow. It is in the Amazon return window and is going back. I have had good luck with Gigabyte in the past, but I don't want to risk it with the cost of this board. Going to an ASUS model most likely. Thanks all!

I got my order for a 5950x in at BH at 12:06 AM EST, so hopefully there were not too many ahead of me. Also got charged immediately on my CC. I was going to go stand in the cold at Microcenter but for some reason I woke up at 11:58pm and decided to check my phone. Would have had it in earlier...

The only justification I need is that it is the full GPU and looks to match very well vs. the 3090. I was prepared to buy a 3090, so comparable performance for 2/3 the price? Sold. The extra cash can go towards replacing my Gsync 32" 4K. Assuming the reviews back up the initial claims.

I just let my wife know that the 5950X is in my future and her response was "Cool". Yep, she's a keeper!

Maybe, but his comparison is in line with my experience moving from 1440p to 4k in that game and others. The clarity is amazing. I also saw the inverse effect when I went back from 4k60 to 1440p165 with HDR. I find I prefer the resolution at 32"+ screen size to the increased frame rate. My...

Same reason I suddenly feel like I'm playing Star Control.

I was going to buy one, knowing the bad value proposition. But now I may just hold out and see what the red team has to offer. Was not expecting miracles, but not terribly impressed. If it has a lot of OC headroom under water I may change my mind, but $1500 is difficult to justify (and I have...

Was going to do a full rebuild with Zen3 , 3090 and a new custom loop. I'm actually tempted to put a waterblock on my 2080Ti FTW3 and ride this one out.

I'd care if I played at 1080p. ~ 6% at 1440, ~1% difference at 4k. On a 9700k, waiting to see what Zen3 does. I won't buy another 14nm+++ CPU.

I'm not terribly upset. I bought it for 4K60 at high/ultra settings, any RTX features were extra. I also knew the score going in that I take a risk on the resale value. Though I have had great luck in the last few generations with Titan cards selling for most of what I paid for them. This...

More FNV? In space? Shut up and take my money Obsidian!

That switch plate is driving me nuts...

In for one. Thanks OP!

Got my check as well for the same amount. So much for that $50. As usual with class actions, the lawyers make out like bandits and we're left with the crumbs.

Hate to bring this back the the topic of the driver release... But after installing these my clocks were really low and FPS was below 60 at 4k which is not normal for the card, Reverted back to the last release. It appears this one broke boosting or power management somehow.

To be fair to EVGA it seems that the two known self immolations were reference PCB's. There are pics of the Asus version posted to the EVGA forum thread above. Points to a design weakness in the power section of that card. Glad I bought a custom card, but I won't be leaving it on unattended...

I moved from an EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 to an EVGA 2080Ti FTW3 and overall have been happy. Much smoother experience at higher settings at 4K60. My only complaint is EVGA's new OC software, Precision X1. I know it is still in beta, but what a buggy mess. The fact that 1080Ti's have retained value...

I should also add that my 2080 Ti FTW3 is working very well so far. I've had the card since 10/25 and have used it quite a bit with no issues. I'm hoping to stress it a bit this week with maxed out Witcher 3 or heavily modded Fallout 4 at 4K.

I read somewhere (NV forums maybe?) that they are blaming these on a bad batch of GDDR6. Many of the artifact screenshots certainly support that as they look like classic examples of memory failure. That would be better than some process or design fault in the GPU silicon itself. That would...

What's next? Thought Crime? Hello 1984.

Now I'm hearing June 19th for the NDA lift. Sad, was looking forward to some good reading today. That 7820X looks like a good balance of speed and cores. My 5820k is probably more than enough, but a few hundred MHz and a couple more cores couldn't hurt. I can't justify ~2x the cost for the...

Titan X Pascal (2016) Mint condition, works. Also an EK block and backplate available gratis if someone from [H] ends up winning. Will need replacement thermal pads but I'm sure EK sells them. Pulled when my custom loop went belly up and I went back to air. PM your ebay ID if you win and...

I would certainly buy that. In fact I still have the original on dosbox and play it occasionally.

Covert Action by Microprose, 1990

Just thought everyone would like to know. I managed to order the 64-bit DVD thru Microsoft for the Vista Home Premium that comes with the bundles. Costs ~$10, but I was able to order with no problems. Link below... Linkage
