    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I wonder what time BB cards will go on sale. Gotta use that credit on something, and a gpu sounds about right.

    I do have that last supper painting in storage in FL tho lol. However that house looks a mess and im way too anal to not keep house looking tidy.

    Lol wtf that’s not me but I had an ASUS 48 that had zero issues and now I have the 42 reserved at MC to pick up Wednesday when I go get a gpu.

    Im getting an FE if possible on release - if not microcenter will have ample cards. That aside the 6900XT being down to $630 was a crazy deal at MC.

    Yeah, everyone thinks they’re some esports player so they stick to 1080p.

    Odyssey line is plagued with technical issues and poor support by Samsung - reddit horror stories of people on their 3rd or 4th panel should be enough to steer even the most diehard fanboy away from touching that line even with someone elses fingers. Sure some people have had luck by the lottery...

    I generally never notice much issue with UW support but i dont play a ton of varying games - Currently i have a C2 and the Asus PG48UQ trying to decide if its worth the extra $500 vs the C2, which it really doesnt. Sure it gets rid of some "TV" annoyances but cant say its worth $500 more. LG...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Yeah mobos being $700 almost for decent ones is meh. The Ace was $698 and Hero $699. Gaming perf is better but not enough to adopt the platform just yet. Seems this gen all you will really want is a 4090.

    For work its always 3-4 screens - makes management so much better than 1 wide screen.

    Ashes of Creation

    Boxing to sell items and make plat is different from playing with my friends. I boxed raids to sell raid loot, sometimes I boxed with others that boxed. Your blanket statement infers that everyone who boxes doesn’t play with others which is not factual at all.

    Went to MC to get the AMD stuff but decided to wait since I don’t see the MSI Godlike or Ace in store. Ended up picking up the PG48UQ, will use until one of those 45 inch OLEDs come out.

    Ashes of Creation

    This reminds me of when we were kids we’d go outside and play actual physical sports. However now we play those sports on a console or PC. Same thing in a sense but at the same time something is lost. I don’t have the numbers you speak of but I was in EQ ever since FoH was in the beta. Hell I...

    Ashes of Creation

    I can’t say which game I put the most time in but I remember the HWL grind in vanilla WOW at like 10hr a day. However Lodizal, Stormfeather and I was boxing a full group in everything but WOW. I miss EQW and ShowsEQ 😂

    Ashes of Creation

    I grew up in EQ1, I slept at my PC for Lodizal and Stormfeather. I remember the hood and bad but shit being hard and needing to make real friends on your local server was the point. Instancing to “me” ruins the community feel. How is removing instancing limiting participation? If it was up to me...

    Ashes of Creation

    Yes, making things simple and dumbed down to require no effort of being a community is never good. In the end people don’t try to be social or hardly amiable, they queue, pew pew, and bounce. There is no sense of being part of anything other than a machine that allows everything to be done...

    My 5950x with MEG ACE ran like a pro with no issues at all As far as water cooling, yes it can be a pain to upgrade if you don’t plan your runs right and make draining it a chore but it’s only issue I had was I like to leave my PC on 24/7 so on my next build I’m going to use the Leakshield or...

    Ashes of Creation

    VG was flawed sure but still quite unique and enjoyable. To me current MMOs lack the community feel that older MMOs had and I kinda blame that on instancing and things like being able to queue with other realms. In EQ, EQ2, and VQ(even if all aren’t currently huge hits) you more or less had to...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I’m impressed with these CPUs honestly. Only thing I’m pondering is water cooling. The CPU made to be at 95c means it will heat up water quicker than traditionally seen no? I guess this gives me justification for making a 4 rad loop in the HAF 700 EVO.

    Computer Issues

    The C1 was weird with a pc which is why i got rid of it. It presented a bunch of issues that my CX48 never had similar to what you’re experiencing. The C2 42 was just $999 and Asus more PC oriented 42 and 48 inch screens just came out.

    His wife had all the money actually thats how they were able to get off the ground That aside i was considering a white build this year but dont want to fall into the trap of trying to get a white 4090. That being the case im thinking of using the Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO with a 3 rad setup -...

    My entire rig is going to my best friend as a gift so im going to build another in the HAF 700 EVO. Currently aiming for the 7900X and 4090 in a 3 or 4 radiator setup :eek: - The HAF is fairly massive and can fit 2 rads up top, 1 on side, and 1 on bottom. Also i was waiting on that ASUS PG42UQ...

    I have a water build in mind that I want to do but I don’t like any of the cases that wood show the THOR oled display. However with aida64 I can make a sensor panel that shows the power draw , just get tired of having to make one.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Honestly at this point as long as you haven’t skipped too many gens upgrading you can buy a 4090 and not upgrade anything else for some huge gains. I do however want an asus board this time around for the gpu release button. These cards are too god damn big to not have this button on every mobo...

    Personally im waiting on one of the 45 inch QHD panels to come out. Sure the PPI will be shit but i honestly dont care. I also think the 4080 16gb will max 1440p@240hz and the pricing this time around is dumb and the 4080 12GB is not even a 4080 anymore.

    If you buy 3 cards and sell 2 for 50% more it pays for itself so when you think of it this way then the price is irrelevant!

    Really sucks AMD is waiting till November to unveil their shit - didnt they do it the same way last time? Curious if they will be able to match Nvidia this time around, if not so long as close but cheaper its still a win.

    I’ll likely get a few and see what AMD does. I’d like to go all AMD this gen since I plan to do a lot of streaming next year. If all else fails I’ll flip them on eBay because some countries won’t have them at release.
