    6800 or 6800XT?

    This is probably the first time I've ever spent more than $125 on a card! Have been a regular purchaser of used here for 20 years. Finally said screw it and spent some real money on myself. Not top of the line, but it's going to do what I want, and better than I've ever had before. As...

    Thanks for all the input. Pulled the trigger on the 7800xt Hellhound.

    6800 or 6800XT?

    Thoughts on the Power Color Hellhound? A little more (but less than Merc) but you get Avatar with it. You don't get that on the Qick.

    6800 or 6800XT?

    That's the question, which do I get? For now it'll still be 1080p gaming, but I expect to buy a new monitor soon. I'll probably stick with 1440p, but may go 4k. Plan to play Starfield first once I have something. Is the XT worth an extra $100? Rig it's going in. AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Gigabyte...

    Pixel 8 / Pixel 8 Pro / Pixel 8a

    Can someone reengineer the 8 Pro with the battery and lidar of the Iphone and pen and customization of the Samsung? Then I think its a no brainer. All that said, still think I may go with the 8 Pro. Would be my first Google phone. Still on a Galaxy S10+.

    Radeon RX 7800 XT Reviews

    I'm well aware of the economy and I understand it. Doesn't mean I have to like it. And its not ALL going up. RAM and storage is pretty damn cheap right now. Other stuff is coming back down to earth. It's why I finally went ahead and built a new computer recently. Graphics cards continue to...

    Radeon RX 7800 XT Reviews

    My thoughts exactly! Haven't ordered the 6800xt yet because I didn't want to spend $500. But kind of looks like I'm going to have to spend that much to get that or this or anything else decent. Cause Starfield looks like crap on my RX580.

    Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 10GB - $223 at Amazon

    Very much thinking about this. Been holding off on a 6800 XT not wanting to fork out $500+. Still much better than my RX580.

    Pixel 8 / Pixel 8 Pro / Pixel 8a

    For somone who still on 4G (Samsung Galaxy S10+) and thinking about a Pixel, is the 8 looking like it'll be that disappointing? What's the best alternative (Android)? I've liked my S10+, but its starting to go south. My wife has an S22 and isn't a huge fan.

    Yum! Ramen for Starving E-Gamers: 24-Pack 3-Oz Creamy Chicken Maruchan Ramen $5.76 @Amazon/Walmart

    My wife used to boil the raman noodles, drain all the water, then put on the seasoning packet and eat it. Might as well just sprinkle salt on plain noodles. Not sure how her heart has survived as long as it has!

    Budget-ish card to pair with Ryzen 5 7600x

    And I already got a Starlight code from my CPU/Mobo purchase. Don't recall if it was premium though. I'll have to check.

    Budget-ish card to pair with Ryzen 5 7600x

    I have not yet. I've honestly barely used the thing since I built it! Need to find some more time.

    Budget-ish card to pair with Ryzen 5 7600x

    Definitely, I do not upgrade often. This is my first build in over a decade. Probably my last.

    Budget-ish card to pair with Ryzen 5 7600x

    I will double check if it'll fit my corsair 4000d before buying. Hope so, just bought it.

    Budget-ish card to pair with Ryzen 5 7600x

    Appreciate all the input. Does appear the 6800xt is the clear winner unless I can find something else used.

    Budget-ish card to pair with Ryzen 5 7600x

    I'm woefully out of the loop on video cards these days. My RX580 doesn't appear to be up to the task on this build (in my sig). Having some issues with Hogwarts Legacy, even on lower settings (especially around water). I'd like something new for Starfield as well. Currently only need 1080p...

    Case suggestion needed for new build

    Seemed to be more an issue with activating windows. Fresh install and all going well now. Can't wait to finish setting this up and load some games! Glad I finally pulled the trigger and replaced my 10 year old system. Next steps are upgrade the rx580 and a new monitor. But will have to...

    Case suggestion needed for new build

    Super clean. My rx580 kinda fugs it up a bit. Installed everything in the case easy. Only thing I need to added are some sata drives. Got Windows installed and it bricked while installing some updates. So starting over again. Walked away, not sure what happened. Fingers crossed it won't...

    Case suggestion needed for new build

    Thanks for the suggestions. After looking a bit more, I think I am going to go with the Corsair 4000D. Plus my local Best Buy has one in stock, so I can just go pick it up today.

    Case suggestion needed for new build

    I haven't bought a case in 10+ years and I'm going nuts on the options right now. Here's what I'll be putting in it and what I need out of it... *Standard air/fan cooling. Not overclocking. *Don't need RGB or even a window. The look means almost nothing to me. I don't care if I see my parts...

    Prime Day 2023 Deals?

    I'm still debating maybe going with the A2 or B2. I don't currently have a 4k capable TV, so I'm quite behind the times. I don't have any intention of using it as a monitor or gaming with it either. So either of those would probably still be a big upgrade at lesser cost. I'm also not...

    Prime Day 2023 Deals?

    Yep, typical Prime day BS. The 1 thing I was hoping for a deal on was a 48inch LG C2 OLED. They didn't even both to raise the price and then put it on sale like they did with other sizes. Still not sure I want to spend $900 on it. I could possibly fit the 55 but it would be tight. But I...

    Pixel 7 / Pixel 7 Pro enhanced trade-in credit and promo gift card @ BestBuy

    How is Google with the trade-ins? My Galaxy S10+ is in very good shape and Google says $340 for trade-in, but how likely is that? BB only offering $85.

    Help a display novice - Replacing old 24" TN with newer VA or IPS

    Finally looking to upgrade my 10+ year old Acer H243H TN with something 32inch. I can't figure out what's better or not, and I know that's subjective anyway. So the question is, will I be disappointed either way I go? Below is what I have and the VA I'm looking at. The monitor will mostly be...

    SCORCHING: LG 32" FreeSync Premium monitor for $299

    The Gigabyte M32Q is also $300. They look pretty similar and the M32Q has a few more interesting features. Anyone with thoughts on that one compared to the LG? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0968QT6SS?tag=rtings-mn-r-amazon-20&ie=UTF8&th=1

    SCORCHING: LG 32" FreeSync Premium monitor for $299

    I am definitely interested in this. But if I'm honest, I rarely game much anymore. Would this be overkill for everday office work? That's probably what I'd use it for the most, and then game when I can.

    WTB: Hercules 3D Prophet 4800 KYRO II SE

    That Kyro card was my first "big" gaming card. Used it for a long time, loved it. Think I tossed it in a box with a bunch of other stuff I sold here last year. Otherwise I'd send it to you.
