I've been dual booting Arch and Windows on my computer for 5 years now. Mainly use Arch, Windows for Flight Sim 2020 as my yoke/throttle/rudder pedals/panels work. sam

Ordered one. Reading about 670 mobos it seems all brands have something quirky going on. . Will see what BIOS it comes with. Getting a 7900X3D and 32Gb GSKill Flare X5 to go with it. sam

Thinking of going to AM5 and was wondering what people's opinions of the board are. Thanks sam

With the price drops over the past couple weeks, I just ordered a Sapphire Pulse 7900XT for $729 to upgrade from my 6900XT. sam

You accept PayPal? sam

That did the trick. I must have fat fingered the setting somehow. sam

Thanks sam

Went into the BIOS (F64) for the first time in a few months and most everything is in Chinese characters. A few things have some English words mixed in. Anyone know how to get it back to English? sam

I've had my ROG Strix LC 6900XT for 2 years with no issues at all. Runs all my games fine, temps 57-59C. sam

I've picked up a couple ASRock Challenger D 6700XT's for a couple budget builds I'm doing for $349 ea on Newegg. Each paired with a B760 mobo and i5-12400f cpu, 16Gb DDR5, 512Gb nvme and 1Tb ssd. Good systems for my grandsons. The 12Gb VRAM should hold them for a couple years. sam

Actually I've decided to keep the card. Got a Cable Matters active DP to HDMI adapter and that fixed the issue. Works fine now connected to the LG 4K TV. The card does want I need it to do, will play the games I want at 55-70FPS using DXVK. Using a i5-12400, ASRock B760M Steel Legend wifi mobo...

I've already started a return. Getting flashing screen when I have it connected to the LG 4K TV in our bedroom which is where the system is located. Tried a HDMI to DP cable, no signal at all from the DP ports on the A770. Read something yesterday about another possible price drop on the ARC...

Got it put together last night. So far underwhelmed by the A770. Granted only tried one game ( PGA 2K23) and DX11 performance is woefully bad. My usual FPS on the other systems I have it on (I run at 4K@60Hz on all) are in the 70-100 range, get 33 with the 770. May try to install DXVK as that...

Building a system later this week with a A770 16Gb, ASRock B760 Steel Legend and a i5-12400. Be interesting to see how the card does. sam

I flashed 7C84v1B to mine when I did my upgrade last week. No problems. sam

Got a MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk wifi mobo, for gaming (Flight Sim 2020, the new Xplane, 2K & EA sports games) which would be better 5800X3D or 5950x? Have a 6900XT vid card. sam

My brother needed to replace his 1070 6gb as the fans stopped working. He thought $280-$300 for a 6650xt was too much, found a new XFX RX 580 8Gb at Best Buy for $150. He only games at 1080p, runs an i5-3570k, 16Gb DDR3 and the 580 works great for what he needs. sam

On Newegg this morning all the 3050s show out of stock but all also say Newegg Shuffle Only. sam

Been running a 6900xt under Arch since July. Currently running kernel 5.14.7. Have had no issues, use "gamemode %command%" in my Steam games, get great performance. Sam

Been running the 21.8.1 driver for a few days now on my 6900XT. No issues at all. sam

As you're already running a AMD card you shouldn't have any issues unless the kernel your Mint is on is older. I was coming from a 2080Ti and even though I had removed all the nvidia drivers, Arch didn't just boot up and see there was a AMD card there. sam

Forgot to mention I had edited the mkinitcpio.conf file to add "amdgpu radeon" to the MODULES first, then ran the mkinitcpio -p linux command.

Found a Reddit thread where a few people had the same issue. I booted into recovery, ran sudo mkinitcpio -p linux, rebooted and all is fine now. sam

Put a 6900XT in last night. Boots into Win 10 just fine. Arch on the other hand just gives me blank screen, no cursor. It's all up to date, not sure what the issue is. sam

I won $1500 the other day on a lottery ticket so decided to get the Asus ROG Strix LC 6900XT liquid cooled card. $2560 but only $1060 out of my pocket and I have a EVGA 2080Ti Hybrid I can easily sell and get back probably all that $1060. Have a huge case (Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra) so even with...

EVGA's site totally overwhelmed by all the elite peeps trying to get in. sam

Salient OS is an Arch based distro geared toward gamers, multimedia and content creators. I've been running it dual booting with Win 10 for 18 months now. Plays all my Steam games fine. Only use Win 10 for Flight Sim 2020 and driving games where my wheel & pedal setup works w/o issues...

Curious if you have tried the 163 BIOS? Going to be doing my 5950x/X570 Tomahawk build next week. sam

I'm currently using a 2080Ti, have a Z570 & a 5950X to do an upgrade with once I get around to actually doing it. Would be nice if I get a 6900X in today's (or any days) Newegg Shuffle. Last resort is making the hour drive to Microcenter and getting a $1800 Powercolor 6900XT. sam

Debating on getting a 6900XT for my upgrade and as I dual boot between Win 10 and Arch linux was wondering if anyone has a 6000 series card running under Linux and any pros/cons. sam

I read the other day (I think on overclock.net) that doing a reset to optimum defaults in the BIOS and rebooting fixed that issue for those who had it. sam
