This is tongue-in-cheek, but the tech Canucks are probably still holding a grudge about ATi and Adlib :P

That, or they require presenters who seemingly have a combination of ADHD, cocaine, meth, and ecstasy

Never liked LTT, and apparently they're fast becoming The Verge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lmfF0k2UcU I know the economics are un / less feasible, but miss written content from back in the day ala [ H ], AnandTech, JonnyGuru, StorageReview, XBitLabs, Hexus, AGN3D, etc.

The 4070 is a great card, except for pricing. 3080 performance (and only ~6-10% less than 3080Ti), ~50% power usage, much shorter length and just 2 slots Definitely keeping an eye on it as a upgrade path for my small eVGA 3060Ti

While I like Pis, they don't make a lot of sense at their current inflated prices, unless you absolutely need GPIO Would rather use USFF PCs like Dell OptiPlex Micros - cheap, still fairly small, and way more powerful and expandable than a Pi

MTT = late 90s / early 2000s 3D ala Matrox, 3D Labs, PowerVR, S3, SiS, etc.

And your warranty will be voided by just taking it out of the box...

Kinda like a hooker spreading her legs to prove how not slutty she is

AI has produced absolute masterpieces like this

It would be supreme irony if nVIDIA took that page out of 3Dfx's playbook...

This is China we're talking about TANK you for your service ;)

It's my fault. Bought 2x BFG EX-1000 PSUs back in the day, BFG went kaput Built the rig in my sig with an eVGA 3060 Ti + G3 650W, eVGA now going kaput But hey, at the both EX-1000s are still going strong!

Nah, that's reserved for Cyrix Maybe Transmeta

Even scarier (?) is Intel's ME and AMD's PSP

FTFY

Too much

Still waiting for one of these bad boys...

I blame Agile (somewhat)

Still have an EPoX 8K3A+ (w/ AXP 2000+ and GF4 Ti4400) from 1st semester of college that works fine

Like my mix of 1920x1200 (24") and 1600x1200 (20") monitors I realize that DPI scaling is much improved in Win8+, but still prefer not having to use it since some program, somewhere inevitably doesn't play ball with the Windows text scaling setting

R9 290X -> 1080 (super cheap upgrade during the crypto craze on ATi GPUs) -> 3060 Ti May look into an FE-sized 4070 for the right price (want to keep it at 2 slots + 270mm max)

VGA Wonder and Mach64 baby!

Rig in sig built last Nov. Microcenter exclusive Lian Li mATX case.

Even Arnold is running it...

Definitely written by a zoomer No 6502, 68k, Cyrix, Celeron 300A, etc. Heck, not even the i7 920 D0

Still have (most of) my EPoX 8K3A+, AXP 2000+, Leadtek Ti4400 setup from 2002 1st semester of college, and played Morrowind and GTA III in style :)

AOpen, ABIT, DFI, EPoX, man I miss those companies :( Worked with a number of them back in the day

:( Still have most of the setup from 2002 (EPoX 8K3A+, AXP 2000+, Leadtek Ti4400, Zalman CNPS6000-Cu) Kind of special : - they were all review samples from EPoX, AMD, Leadtek, and Zalman respectively - 1st semester of college - played through Morrowind and GTA III on that setup in style

Still have one from Leadtek. Felt that the Ti 4400 was kind of overlooked compared to the 4200 and 4600

Not sure how to rank them, but some favorites : - Tseng ET6000 - Matrox Millenium - Canopus Pure3D II - Canopus Spectra 2500 - GeForce4 Ti 4400

Shaping up to be a much better experience than the i740 back in the day

Don't you mean 4090x Voodoo2s? ;)

Mac gaming?

Almost forgot, obligatory TimeCop reference

No worries, but Dell non-SFF / desktops / "MT" models have not been able to take standard ATX PSUs for awhile now (Series 5 starting with x040+) Those good times ended with the OptiPlex x020 :( The modern x040+ models can be (very slightly) modded to take OptiPlex SFF PSUs (like the 315W mentioned)

Not true. Have a MT OptiPlex 7040 that is running an 6700K + 1660 Super. Just get a Dell 315W SFF PSU (cheap - paid ~$13 shipped IIRC), drill an extra mounting hole at the back, and there you go. There's a YouTube video of someone doing the same, but he is an absolute retard who ended up...

Love my Lian Li 170M (~$50). Only available at Micro Center, and no info available on Lian Li's site, but it is what made me decide to do a new build Wanted a small mATX that is not super-exotically-priced, uses standard ATX PSU, etc. Not an expensive / exotic, large ITX case that requires...
