Sorry to hear this. You're out $500 to $600? lol at 'he doesn't know why.' Does the card have a bios switch? If so, try the other position. Still, I would get this card fixed or returned. EVGA has the best reputation, so that is in your favor. But all of their Warranty claims require that you...

Did Subaru cancel turbo availability in the Forester just to charge more for it in the Ascent? That sucks. Unrelated, I just realized you can get Golf Rs in any color you want now. $2,500. I think it's $4,000 on Audis.

low mileage FJ Cruiser?

Understandable. I got a cheap key from G2A but only because I was late to the party.

My son is now 21 months old. Raising him is great. I haven't damaged him too severely, yet. My wife and I considered what we had, and what we would have to give up. We do well enough on her income, and I wanted the house dad job. I didn't get to spend a lot of time with my father, and I'd...

Oh I agree Night of Knives is still weak writing, but the pacing and story worked for me. It was bikini method--short enough to keep it interesting but long enough to cover the important parts. RoTCG is like all B-Team cast. Has Esselmont ever gotten to write Fiddler?

I don't think Esselmont is as strong a writer as Erikson. Esselmont seems better with fewer pages to fill. I base this off of Night of Knives being a good read and Return of the Crimson Guard being a slog. If I weren't addicted to the lore, I would have put it down without finishing. Has...

Disliking Far Cry I can understand---after a few hours of stealth attack to raid camps, I quickly lose interest. But Doom (2016)? What's not to like about it?

In general, I would build around a good AMD board (AM4) and in July immediately upgrade to one of the expected 5GHz processors.

I hope this is good enough to keep EQ from sucking me in one more time.

Should be fairly safe to do as long as the card has a bios switch. Please share the results. I don't think there is a Vega 64 bios that will work on my Red Dragon 56. I must live vicariously.

Inflation RPG and Wizard's Wheel 2 are decent time killers.

Was it changed in the last few months? The AE DDs did not have target limits the last time I played (Phinny, SoF era).

It's a bit different now. Bards get a single target time bomb nuke AA (initial DD, and greater DD with chance to crit after like 18 seconds). They also have a song Denon's which is an AE DD nuke. It burns mana pretty good but you can kill large pulls of non-summoning blue and some yellow cons...

Conn Iggulden kick at the moment. The Genghis Khan series was/is phenomenal. The Caesar books are decent, but it seems like a lot more is fictionalized in Caesar. great too!

When I claimed Resident Evil 2, AMD Rewards validated my purchase code and hardware, and about 2 weeks later issued the game redemption code with a link to Steam. It might be possible that, once the purchase code is validated on the PC with the hardware, the game code could be redeemed from any...

Analog steering wheel controls for the win. A programmable steering wheel might be interesting...

I don't know an 860 to compare, but I have a 970 EVO 500 GB--I've never had faster boot, load, or unzip times. I will get another the moment 2gb prices are not prohibitive. Another thing to like about NVME is that it's right on the board (or PCI-E adapter) and no additional wires.

A sort of affluenza defense? I guess so. Nothing else really makes sense--you climb so high that you lose the ability to discern what's beneath you.

lol @ billionaire going to a strip mall day spa for coitus with an import sex worker

MSI reference style isn't as well regarded as the 3-fan Sapphires or Powercolors, but at that price there's nothing better. I am still showing it as in-stock on Newegg at the moment.

EVGA website has 2080s for 699 w/ free shipping, in-stock atm, too.

This documentary is awesome.

Defintely. The 2700X is a great CPU.

Rumor is that at least some of the 3rd Gen Ryzen will be out in July. This should include a couple CPUs where both the speed and boost are solidly in 4GHz range. One might possibly hit 5GHz stock.

I don't think the "Godlike" board is worth it. But the less expensive one does not have on-board Wi-Fi. Plan accordingly.

Thanks and, yeah, there's plenty of disappointment with the VII drivers right now. It makes me consider that I'm benefiting from Vega 56 being a year and half old at this point.

Looks good! Where is the PSU?

The card is spec'd at 1177MHz (1478MHz with boost). My CPU is a Ryzen 5 2400G at 3.9GHz with APU disabled. Everything is just air cooled. Doom runs at at around 80+ fps 1440p ultra settings no problem, but Vulkan games favor AMD from what I understand. Here is a validated Firestrike comparison...

Got an old Windows 7 key that was never upgraded? Also, for those looking for a good price/performance card, Powercolor Red Dragon Vega 56s can be found for about $330 right now, and you get vouchers for Resident Evil 2, The Division 2, and Devil May Cry 5. There seems to be a really good...

Damn. I was really looking forward to this card (even though it probably is a stop-gap). But driver issues on a $700 card is not what I'm looking for right now.

Manfred and Lothar would like to have a word with you!

Yep. Nvidia is evil.

I hear you on used. If you have a microcenter near you, they might have an MSI 1070ti for $399. But it will be a single-fan/blower style. If EVGA b-stock is interesting, just bookmark it and refresh. They update almost daily.

EVGA b-stock carries a 1 year warranty--howabout this: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti FTW ULTRA SILENT GAMING, 08G-P4-6678-RX, 8GB GDDR5, ACX 3.0

The Vega 64 is superior, and will do better longer term with 8GB RAM. But it consumes more power and the blower style ones are said to be loud. It can be found new for $400 or less at the moment. RTX 2060 is not a bad card for what you want to do right now, but 6GB of RAM pretty much makes it...

Anyone with thoughts on how to play AMD this Monday and Tuesday (before the Tuesday evening Earnings Report)?

I think this might vary according to a person's peripheral vision, and I would check this out in person before buying. For me, ultrawide didn't make a positive difference until 34", and I really only liked it for first-person shooters.
