    Scored a card for a friend in new egg shuffle. Scored a card for my daughter at MicroCenter (KC). Apparently they had 3050,3060,3070,3090 there if I recall.. This was last Friday.

    BTW. FWIW my Zotac order which was $1349 for a ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 AMP Holo LHR... They state that they charge 15% restocking, after inquiring if I refuse delivery / don't open.. They will refund all of it.. I just could not see spending $2100 after tax for a 3080Ti from Microcenter...

    I signed up for a 3080 at EVGA on June 6th.. Finally was able to purchase yesterday.. I had also just purchased a Zotac 3080 based on the above post, but it was $400 more expensive.. And I had a friend get me a 3080Ti at Microcenter in Dallas on Wednesday.. I should have done a bit more research...

    Ebay charges tax?

    Wait, I thought sales tax could only be charged 1x? If it is used, then the state can't collect sales tax again... Can they?

    Title says it all (unfortunately they are sold out right now).. But.. I was able to order last Saturday evening when some came back in stock.

Hardly any pro sports on ESPN anymore.. Kind of the fire sale of sports events.. Disney trying to get...

    RTX 2080 TI vs GTX 1080 TI Benchmark

    I am torn. I am still running a GTX 980. I should have jumped on the reduced cost 1080Ti a few weeks back, but looks like they have bounced back a bit in price.. I was planning on ordering when they announced, but $1200 was $200 over my max that I wanted to spend. If the 2080Ti for $1000...

    Many Of Your Android Apps Send Unnecessary Hidden Data

    A lot of apps utilized 3rd party analytic services, which send information in the background, usually batched in certain sizes.. My guess this is what quite a lot of that data being sent to services is.. Analytics.. How else does one improve the user experience?

    4770K won't go higher than 16x multiplier

    Thanks, it sure was kind of strange, as there were no settings I could see in the bios which were defaulting to 16x multiplier.. I have it running at 4.0ghz stable now.. Need to do some more tests to crank it up a bit more.. No wonder FSX/Prepar3d were getting crappy frame rates..
