Thanks guys! This was helpful. I was thinking of using it to add hard drives for storage as my older hard drives fill up. In all honestly, I don't need 20 hard drives in a PC but thought it would be a way to future proof and just keep adding hard drives. I'm on the fence of whether its worth...

Forgive my lack of knowledge but based on the description the card supports 6Gbps transfer speeds. Where are you getting 500MB/s? Is it because the limited bandwidth from the PCI lane? With my two GTX 670s installed I believe I would be using 32 (16x2) out of the available 38 lanes on my...

I have an older system and the parts are as follows: FX-8350 GA-990FXA-UD3 (revision 3) 16 GB DDR3 @1600MHz 250GB Samsung SSD 2 X GTX 670s 750 watt Corsair PSU Antec 1200 Question/Input: (I apologize if the answer to my question is obvious beforehand but I've never added a sata expansion card...

I may be overly cynical but I think AI will displace alot of white collar jobs just like automation displaced alot of blue collar jobs. Homelessness, mental health and drug use will increase as a result. I saw this happen to my home town which was traditionally blue collar town. Now there's a...

My current work phone is an iPhone and I've used iPhones since iPhone 6 cause of work... The more I used it the more I'm open to the idea of if becoming my primary phone... Pretty disappointed in Samsung phones lately and I don't really see any other good options. Camera quality is especially...

I'm feel exactly the same as you... My Note 20 Ultra still works flawlessly and love have the option of adding storage via SD card. I don't see any flagship phones using SD cards these days and I've been using only Galaxy phones since the S3. My screen is starting to show signs though as there...

You can find it on Steam... I already added to my Wishlist

Fingers crossed they pull a rabbit out of the hat and make a good Mass Effect game. No game has come close to the original trilogy for me. Never been so immersed in a game... Anyone remember this amazing ME3 themed PC back in the day...

Based on recent developments and Microsoft's move to integrate AI into Windows it looks like in the near future we will have AI Accelerator Cards in our PCs or not, who knows. Maybe Nvidia will just buy up these startups and integrate this into their GPUs. What do you guys think of this...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dead Space... I haven't played the remake but the original Dead Space had great sound effects, some good jump scares and tense moments.

Bad Company 2 was one of my favourite games... had a good campaign too and yes good SLI support!

Those would have been pretty high end systems for its time... I'm sure it was a great space heater too!

SLI is dead but ppl have been using some workarounds... article on using multiple GPUs (not SLI) to gain performance: https://www.pcgamer.com/you-can-alm...k-2077-using-multiple-gpus-but-sli-this-aint/

I stopped overclocking as well. I had overclocked my FX-8350 and 6700K for several years w/ after market cooling. I even P95 tested the overclock for hours to ensure it was stable but after so many years they became unstable and now they run at stock. I had an older FX-8350 which died on me...

If I recall correctly, I overclocked both 470s in SLI (with stock cooling) by around 130MHz... One of the 470s died when I was playing Far Cry 3. I remember the fans were running super loud so I had to turn the volume up on the game and had a feeling the cards were being pushed a bit too...

Wow, that's a lot of SLI builds! I thought I had a lot with four but I'm clearly out of your league lol Did you keep all ur PCs? I have way too many computers at the moment... 4 PCs at my current place (one PC is in parts and not built) and 4 PCs at my parents home. I don't have the heart to...

I remember wanting this card really bad, I can't believe that was 15 years ago... I had a BFG GTX 275 at that time and replaced with GTX 470s and gave the 275 away to a friend. Unrelated I saw this article on using multiple GPUs (not SLI) to gain performance...

Wow that's alot of high end sli builds! I read SLI had diminishing returns the more cards added but 4-way SLI looks pretty impressive! I always wondered how hot the cards would get being stacked so close together like that.

Yeah the microstutter was annoying in some games I remember disabling SLI in some cases it was too much... But to your point, when it worked and was optimized it was awesome! I think alot of us stopped running SLI after the 1000 series as there was a clear lack of SLI support in the newer games...

Those are some sweet setups! I would have been super envious back in the day if I saw your setup. My buddy (RS_Surge) gave me his old Ti 4400 when he bought the 6800 and the Ti4400 was actually my first card that got me into PC gaming. I remember seeing him run the 6800 and being blown away...

Super clean! I love the look of the two 980s together! Lol@the 3080s... SLI was pretty much dead when the 1000 series cards come out. I remember regretting buying two 1070s shortly after buying them after finding that most new games were no longer supporting SLI.

Those are some sweet builds! My friend had the 6800GT when I first got into PC gaming and I remember it was a beast! Being a poor student with no money during this time I was stuck gaming on a PS2 reading Maximum PC and hoping to build a gaming PC. I miss seeing cold cathode lighting from back...

Yes I knew someone would point this out. This pic was taken many years ago and was using left over parts. It now has 2 sticks for a total of 8GB of DDR3.

Although SLI and Crossfire is from a bygone era lets play homage to the days where u could add 2, 3, 4, etc cards... Started my SLI journey with GTX 470s, 670s, 970s and 1070s. Note: GTX 970s were a recent purchase and didn't buy them on release. I miss this time... Although SLI was a hit and...

Tell me something I don't know...

Not sure if this counts as retro enough but according to the rules Phenom or older so I think I'm good. This PC is still running strong from 2010 (see sig: Phenom II 965 + GTX 580). The GTX 580 was added later but was originally paired with GTX 275; later replaced with GTX 470 and added another...

I'm guessing NVIDIA will raise the price of RTX 5080 by $200 over the RTX 4080. Sadly this seems the trend. I don't think NVIDIA is worried if the ppl buy less gaming cards... they make a killing selling their A100 cards anyways. AMD is no threat. ATI was more competitive and based on this...

8700K vs the 13700K is a significant bump. Being that 4080 Super hasn't released yet no one can tell you how well it will perform but based on specs it looks like it will be small bump over the 4080. RTX 3080 w/ 10GB vs RTX 4080 w/ 16GB is about double the performance thanks to DLSS 3.5 and...

I have a HAF-X and its not light. Weighs 31lbs (case alone) and the side panel and interior is all metal. Side panels alone are pretty heavy.

I typically beat a game and never go back to it so for me to go back to a game that I've already beaten it would have to be pretty extraordinary. Games below aren't necessarily my favourite games just games I played the most... MVP Baseball 2005 - played 5+ full seasons. I still play this game...

The environment looks great but character models are inconsistent and some just look awful... path tracing (lighting, reflections and shadows) does look pretty

I dunno man... OP stated that the 14700k is way better than the 13700k but at least in gaming the improvements appear to be marginal at best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6kd7K1-J9s

Agreed, group buys are annoying and high shipping costs are another factor to consider. I waited 1.5 years just for keycaps on a group buy and won't be doing that again. Some keyboards are pre-order so the wait times are much shorter than group buys. It is nice though to have a multiple custom...

GMK67 is pretty cheap so its hard to beat that price but for a little more you could have bought a KBD67 Lite which is much better sounding keyboard with the right switches. The rabbit hole is deep my friend. During the pandemic I bought 6 mechanical keyboards, 11 sets of switches, 4 different...

I actually get higher CPU performance with DOCP profile enabled but the difference is marginal. I tested using Cinebench and the difference in the scores is like 10 points. Maybe its because my CPU is not the 3d version...? I dunno.

At last 1516 bios works with my memory and the first time since 0805 that I'm able to run my memory at the rated speed using the DOCP profile instead of manually setting it. Although it took awhile, Asus finally got around to it!

Not that old but I have a Phenom 9500, M3A78-EHM HDMI, 4GB DDR2, GTX 460 for Windows XP and retro gaming...

I saw this case but the second drive cage looks awfully close to the PSU. It does fit 6 HDD which is a big plus.

That case is beautiful I love full towers but man its $700 CAD.

I think its come down to the Define 7 XL or Lian Li o11 Dynamic XL although leaning towards the latter
