Can u guys recommend a mechanical keyboard? Does it make sense to just buy a cheap one to 'get going' or should I invest in a 'good one' right away? The only ones I have some familiarity with - are Keychron models - but, it's only because...

I hear you. If the 'debate' is strictly about gaming - then, for sure - the argument for AMD is at least, a lot better - and the 'features' in gaming - I've read various debates about that. I was mostly looking at the entire picture or full...

You can say that - many ppl say that. Whether it's true is another story. My point was that nvidia's current gen is more power efficient, has more features (whether you like them or use them is besides the point) and a wider use-case -...

Sapphire only offers a 2 year warranty. I have owned 6700 XT and 6600 XT and avoided Sapphire both times ;)

AMD gpu hardware is a failure so far, this gen - and a lot of ppl know it except for fanboys and nvidia haters. The fact that AMD hasn't gone away from gddr6 is so telling. Their cards are not power efficient compared to Nvidia's recent gen...

I just got a zotac 4080 for $853 shipped. Open box but I can return it if it is bad. Bought on ebay from zotac too. I thought about the 4070 ti but this auction halpened lol.

I am thoroughly enjoying my 4070 ti super...211fps minimum cranked settings on mw3.....

But, the 16gb of vram is significant - both for gamers and ppl running productivity programs - as it might be significantly beneficial - there really shouldn't be a financial 'penalty' to get a gpu with more vram but that's Nvidia for you. I'd...

Yay, overpriced video cards are in stock again! HOOORAY!

Buying the 4070 Ti Super, now?

It'll cost $5090? Is that 60% more expensive. Ppl who buy this stuff and help Nvidia and AMD maintain high prices, suck. Yeah, you, too.

Gigabyte has the Windforce (they called it the 'Elite?) and Gaming series still with AMD. Although, yes, AMD gpus have probably been falling in quality and tech lately - the latest gen looks like a failure to me. With the 7900 xtx, all I come...

Yes, it is but feel free to disagree. :-/

They're horrible buys, especially the GRE - a gimped 7900 series because of defective dies. Wow, I just can't even...

I was wondering where you get the stuff you guys are smoking?

Reddit is a censor happy place, generally, though. I'm glad I moved away from EK AIOs- was considering them a while ago - I didn't know they were a shady company. Their rep is ruined and can't see any other scenario than them selling off what...

I was thinking of getting that one - thanks for the review. :) It's a bit cheaper (here - in CanuckLand) than the Notte and *supposedly* has better fans? (the pump is the same, afaik). If I replace the fans, which (3 pack?) fans would be a...

I have the Thermalright Frozen Magic 360mm and I can honestly say its one of the quietest AIOs I have ever used. Keeps my 7800X3D in check and I was able to dial the pump down 1000rpm to make it completely silent. For $48.00, the...

Oh, okay, thanks for explaining. I have a 4K TV - that's my only display so I might as well strive for 4k when gaming? I'm saving up for either a (used) 4080 or (used) 7900 xtx - and recently, I've been heavily leaning towards the 4080. If I...

I paid $670 for the gigabyte.... on the ram part.. i was reading that too.. but what they are saying is if you are doing 1080p or 1440p gaming... 12gb of ram is fine.. most people want to game at 4k max settings and 12gb wont cut it...
