    New Egg is a ripoff

    I guess anybody that doesn't give a shit if they get ripped off – well that's your choice. Me, it pisses me off. I'm not much for the capitalistic system, where companies like Newegg can rape and pillage at will. And everybody thinks it's just business as usual. That's not a business model I can...

    New Egg is a ripoff

    Okay, maybe video cards aren't "essential," in the normal sense, but to me they are. Looking at the proposed specs a year ago before the RTX 3000 launch, I figured it was time to get into 4K gaming. Specifically, I was eying CP2077 and Microsoft Flight Simulator. I've always liked eye...

    New Egg is a ripoff

    Pure and simple, they're ripoffs. I'm talking about video cards. The first thing that got me were their combo deals, offering (mostly) shitty, pre-built computers that featured the RTX 3000 cards. Or they'd pair the GPU with something else (mobo, PSU, etc.). When they got a drop, most of the...

    Why the price drop on BB?

    "... less than excellent prices?" The minute the latest tariffs were announced - which just went into effect April 1 - New Egg jacked up all their prices - in January. WTF? A $1500 3090 became a $2100 card. New Egg's mercenary as fuck. Occasionally you'll see scalpers selling cards for...

    Why the price drop on BB?

    Since none of the cards are actually available, they shoulda gone all out and given 75% off. Hell, 100%! It's all so stupid.

    GPU Prices dropping?

    I bought an MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 for $149 on Amazon last August 20. I guess I got ahead of the wave. I only wish I'd bought about 10 more of them, then.

    What exactly is the deal with GPUs

    Or maybe the RTX 5000's are out! Naw. It's useless. I was doing that at first. That and following the thread on the queue New EVGA.com Notification Checkout Process. The thread is almost 900 pages long now! Every day I was following the thread with rapt attention. But it's just a waste of...

    What exactly is the deal with GPUs

    They post it every weekday. EVGA North American Queue. Movement, if any, is measured in seconds. I've been following it since before the first of the year and yeah, I don't think hardly anyone is gonna get cards out of it. There just isn't enough supply to matter. My best time is for the...

    Rockit Cool Rockit 88 Delid and Relid Tool @ [H]

    I bought their Rockit 99 tool for socket 2066 chips, and was really impressed how well it worked. I used it on a 7820X, with Conductonaut in place of the Intel TIM. I've got my ROG Rampage VI Apex running at 4.7 GHz with temps as expected with a delid (15-20C less than before - using a NZXT...
