Sir Beregond

We do have a Micro Center here, just not convenient to get to. More of a planned trip. Cool, will take a look, thanks!

I know it's the same socket, but are they releasing any new chipsets? I wonder if Intel will rethink the socket retention system considering recent coverage on it not working very well and people needing to get CPU contact frames and such.

This reminds me that I should really setup a NAS at some point. I opted for all SSD storage in my new rig, but its still 2TB short of what I had internal on my last one (5TB vs 7.5TB).

This gets me. "Hi, I am calling to report that my internet service is down." "No it's not, we solved it." Really, I had nothing better to do then to call you guys?

The LG C1 finally shipped, should get it Wednesday. One thing I didn't think of is going to have to find an HDMI 2.1 cable to get the 4k 120Hz. Any suggestions?

You have an 8k display? Or you just mean like 8k textures? This is still on my list to pickup. My LG C1 should be here Wednesday. Been kinda holding off on the truly eye candy games till I get it.

How's that 970 treating you?

So far so good, thanks E and team!

This sounds exactly like the kind of argument about how one pronounces the state I live in (Colorado). The two main camps (there are more) are between the ROD and the RAD people. And its usually a good way to figure out who the out of towners are, because the correct answer is rad.

When these Intel GPUs hit NA, we should try to get one.

Avacodo thread has been doing it for me today on my work computer (Mac with Safari), but has been fine so far this evening on my personal rig. None of the other threads have hit me yet today.

Did not know that, that is awesome!

Yeah this is my same problem. Only other PC I have right now is my old 4790k one.

Oh geeze, just realized in replying to you forgot to actually say congratulations @Avacado!

Oh I figured that part. Will do.

Cool deal, definitely consider me interested then. I think would do me good to try to write something a little more focused.

Had a feeling you would be the one doing that, congrats @bonami2!

I'd definitely be interested! Probably for stuff that's not too complex though (i.e. don't have to take my whole rig apart with the rigid tubes). Also do you have general testing steps, etc. when you review something or is this something that people come up with themselves?

Yeah I still have a collection of boxed PC games for sure. I need to go through it one of these days.

I definitely agree that a lot of performance should be gained using a proper node. Samsung 8nm was a derivative of 10nm and was definitely Nvidia going the cheapo route, and I suppose did make some sense given TSMC 7nm being overly used up by AMD and others. So moving from 8nm to I forget was it 5nm? 4nm? Anyway, should help a lot. The one thing I am still wondering about though is the power draw. Eh, one could argue RT is going to be a thing because Nvidia is forcing it to be a thing. I don't think we're anywhere near a spot yet where raster is not still an important thing to have, especially when put into the context of mainstream consumers not buying 3090 Ti tier cards. What will ultimately make sense in the future is if we get good enough for path tracing.

Seems to be working after cache clear. Also tried incognito mode on chrome and looked good. Quotes working, and its also going to proper posts now based on the notification. Speaking of Rig Creator, how does one re-order which one shows first?

Correct E, it's the pop-up you get at the bottom of the screen. Like this since it just happened as I was typing out this reply:

Same here. ^

Good to know, thanks @J7SC_Orion! Are there any settings you otherwise recommend?
