    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Sure I guess if you want to throw in real Titans as GeForce gaming cards. I really am just speaking on the GeForce stack sans Titans though. Add Titans because they occupy this bizarro slot between gaming card and prosumer card, sure. But really Titans were absolutely different every single gen...

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    Same. Its on a desk and definitely produces much less heat than my previous 2019 Intel i9 model did.

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    I can literally work all day on my M1 Pro MBP on battery and not even think about having to look and see what my battery is at.

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    Yep I work all day long often on my work M1 Pro MBP 16" battery. On the other hand, my old Intel i9 based 2019 MBP 16" would die in an hour.

    [Prime Gaming] [Microsoft Store] Fallout 76 FREE with Prime till 5-15-24

    You could play it single player no problem, but a lot of parts of the game (such as map events, expeditions, operations, etc.) are built around multi-player. I honestly haven't done much story to be honest - I'd guess from that perspective the older games like New Vegas would be far more...

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    No no I don't think you understand. Past several gens aside from the initial 4070 launch, it was the 70, not the 80 card that matched the previous gen flagship in performance. 20-series was another bad one but I think got better over time where the 70 Super was matching 1080 Ti performance. Give...

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    This absolutely. The M1 was a huge change coming from Intel. I had an Intel i9 based MBP from work and it frankly sucked. Then got the M1 Pro MBP and the battery life is great and the machine does everything I need it to. Since the M1, the M2 and M3 have been more iterative then anything else...

    Anyone seriously considering the 4070 TI

    A base model 4070 Ti Super should also be $800. $800 for a 4070 Ti is flat out overpriced now that the Ti Super exists. Does Amazon not have any MSRP models? MSRP for a Ti Super should be the same as an MSRP Ti - $799.

    [Prime Gaming] [Microsoft Store] Fallout 76 FREE with Prime till 5-15-24

    Fallout 76 got a lot of flack when it first came out, and rightfully so. Last few months, the wife and I have been enjoying it as something to play together for what it is - camp building, events, dailies, expeditions, etc. almost like an MMO light.

    The Greatest GPU of All Time

    Greatest of all time is a stretch. Greatest longevity and value for a halo product in recent history? Absolutely. But I think the 8800 series and the ATI 9700 Pro deserve a mention for greatest of all time. The 9700 Pro really started the idea of creating giant (what was considered giant at the...

    The GPU Nvidia would rather forget – GeForce FX

    AMD had acquired ATI by that point. They were just still using the ATI branding. I think the HD 3000 series was launching around the time the acquisition completed if I recall.

    New and Improved Watercooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

    Part of it is I just don't trust EK QC these days. But yeah that makes sense with the colored coolant. Glad to hear otherwise no issues.

    New and Improved Watercooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

    So when you described your loop as "filthy", what did you mean exactly? Yeah Cryofuel once upon a time was rebranded Mayhems X1, then it wasn't and that's when it started having reports of gunking and other issues. Even the clear.

    [DEAD] 7900X3D $391.49 @ Amazon

    This is why I am hoping we eventually get bumped up to 12 or 16 core CCX designs in either Zen 5 or Zen 6. Then you can get a higher than 8-core count Ryzen product without the dual CCD design. Zen 2 had 4-core CCX (2x CCX per CCD), and then Zen 3 bumped that up to an 8-core CCX (1x CCX to CCD)...
