    News High-end AMD RDNA 2 supply is dwindling — RX 6950 XT, RX 6900 XT, RX 6800 XT virtually out of stock

    I feel you. Cheap will get worse, inexpensive will only decrease. It pains me to see that happen to practically everything around us.

    News High-end AMD RDNA 2 supply is dwindling — RX 6950 XT, RX 6900 XT, RX 6800 XT virtually out of stock

    I recently built my first gaming pc over the holidays. I was torn on getting a 4090 or a 7900xtx. My primate brain had a strong argument to get the 4090. Logic won in the end. I purchased 7900xtx and 7800x3d. I have no idea the difference, if my almost 40 year old eyes can even tell the...

    News Faulty 12V2x6 connector found with RTX 4080 Super card — it could be a one-off problem, but caution is advisable

    I have exactly the same thing. 7900xtx 7800x3d dynamic evo case, my first pc. 3 connectors are no different than one. I'm not losing sleep over potential fires for aesthetics.

    I'll be sticking with noctua nf-a12x25. No frills, just performance. These are sold to sheep who need rgb and now more screens.

    I was going to get a 4090 at msrp but couldn't justify it being in my mid 30s. As a young adult, I would've purchased it, no question..i am satisfied with the AMD 7900xtx. I honestly couldn't tell the difference in average paced games. I'm playing modded nolvus skyrim currently and its been a...

    I have used my lg cx for 3 years, no burn in. Screen is on at least 12 hours a day 5 days a week. I was worried when I bought it. Haven't noticed any burn in, and I check regularly.

    News Sidestepping GPU ban, Chinese factories dismantle and transform Nvidia RTX 4090 gaming cards into AI accelerators

    Thats exactly what is going to happen. I saw an article that the 7900xtx is on the ban along with AMD Wgpus. Usually within 24-48 hours the retail stock goes out of stock and 3rd party skyrockets. I got the sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx for 989. (Still other versions mostly available as of evening nov...
