    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Reviews

    https://www.newegg.com/msi-rx-6750-xt-mech-2x-12g-oc/p/N82E16814137735 6750xt being roughly 6% faster than the 6700xt makes it a solid choice when you can find them in the $325 range and it is a little better in power than the 6700xt. I find it really hard to justify $400 for marketing talking...

    New Workstation Threadripper or stick with Intel?

    longevity for the overall system, is the main purpose, like my current setup was overkill 6 years ago when I built it. So if the next system takes me another 6 years it will be worth the little bit extra now. The ram and storage is a non issue, I will go with 32gb as long as I can add another 32...
