Hoarding PC parts... (Or "I might NEED this again someday...")

...I was going to go into detail about those 30+ functional GPUs (not counting pre-DX11), but.. -

*multiple sources* AMD GPU reveal info thread (Updated: review)
J7SC_Orion replied to UltraMega's topic in Hardware News
Since it is all academic anyhow (re. general availability), I am waiting to see what the 6900 XT can do vs. the RTX 3090. Like others here, I suspect the 6900 XT will be a monster on apps that don't use RTX, and I also still wonder about VRAM bandwidth at 4K (even with Infinity Cache). As to Radeon 6K alleviating excess demand for RTX 3K, they both seem to be in tight supply (foundries' bookings ? / yields ?) and both facing an unexpected extra demand, courtesy of Covid-19...a lot of folks working from home, Zooming and doing other modern office-type functions realized that their 'ancient' desktop that worked fine for email and browsing wasn't up to do much more on productivity and gaming. Perhaps they finally appreciate all the upgrades their IT dep't had done over the years at their (formerly) regular work place ? Other folks who appreciate shiny new GPUs are apparently coin miners, allegedly doing bulk deals with NVidia directly on big chunks of RTX 3K output... -
I can appreciate that ! ? ...same on my main machine (5x XSPC RX360s, 4x D5s)
-
...very nice & brings me back to various quad GPU builds - those were the days....now, people shout at you if you show two instead of just one GPU in a system. Kudos for the pump setup and extra VRM fan ?
-
...fyi, after setting this build question aside for two weeks, I decided on building...both ? The 4790K will run some development code on MS Server, while the 3770K will be used as a guinea pig for different Linux packages.
-
...yet another mandatory MS FS 2020 patch (around 13 GB in total) ? ...so far, all 'updates and/or patches' are mandatory for MS FS 2020 ? Microsoft really should learn not to barge into people's free time at their own home and let them decide when to install updates, instead of this 'mommy knows best' attitude...
