lol,at 2:00 a.m. I had cheese cake, and now at 9:50 a.m. I'm having crushed taco shells,taco meat,shredded mild cheddar cheese,and ranch dressing all combined. To say the least,my eating habits are not an exact science. Photo's show before and after bacon ranch dressing was added.

Same here, I was like "What main site?" I'm not on the main site?

I've had USB's not show up in windows and had to reformat them using third party software.(They show up there for some reason) I use the free version of EaseUS partition manager to format them and rename them. Then I sometimes have to use Windows disk manager to activate them after it can see them.

And the winning bid was $12,400. A nice chunk of change for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Everyone have a safe and Happy Holiday!

With everyone jumping on the AI created images bandwagon (including Cosplay creators using it for softcore porn) you'd think EA would have used it for their game....

Epic is turning off online services and servers for some older games WWW.EPICGAMES.COM Epic is turning off online services and servers for some older games. Most titles will be playable offline, while some will no longer be playable. Give a little credit where it's due,I've purchased games on steam to find they were EOL server wise or the server was being pulled a week later with no notice of it on steams site. Meanwhile Epic is doing this kinda thing... Refunds for 1/2 a year prior to shut down? Now,if only other game sites ran in a consumer friendly way also.

lol,I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that some of the different models of the 7900 XT's are still in stock at their list price on newegg. Does that mean the scalpers can't even be bothered with the card?

Great review,I especially liked the fact you addressed "the elephant in the room" of PS5 usage. A lot of people who come here are not only using our comps to game,but have others who use consoles or even(gasp) use them ourselves occasionally. While the New Xbox's are locked down to the Seagate drives for additional full use space,the PS5 can use the NVMe drives if they meet the specs. I also like the comparison with the 1Tb drive you had installed because it showed some ups & downs to the different drives. (large files vs smaller,ect.) Thank you for taking the time to do such an in depth look at the drive for us.

I still think this was funny as hell...

I think if the RT performance were a bit better it would be a nice card. As for the pricing, let's face it,they probably went with undercutting the 4080, and in 6 months will release a "7950xtx" card that out performs the 4080 in all test and is halfway between it and the 4090 for only $1399. Meanwhile as Linus said.... " the real state of amd vs. nvidia"

Yeah, that's the setup, this one seems to randomly switch on it's own. Worst thing is I hadn't realized that was what was happening until this last time. I did the reset + power thing after trying the to clear the bios at the board(I ran across the direction on line) and it brought back the latest bios I had installed and my drive was back with windows boot showing. Gigabytes FAQ's have more about PIII's and P4's than amd boards.

The Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming motherboard is kinda nice EXCEPT for the issue that's cropped up for a third time in as many years. The Bios randomly resets to DIFFERENT VERSIONS causing the NVME drives to not show as Windows boot drives. The last time I Purchased a new larger drive thinking the old one was flaking out on me and cloned my data over and after some playing around things loaded up. This time I noticed it was on a different bios and made the mistake of clearing the bios at the board. NOW the Drive won't boot with TPM enabled because the bios clearing wiped the encryption key that was being used previously when TPM was enabled. In short, because of a flaky board that randomly screws with me and my clearing the bios on the board,When I get ready to run Windows 11 on this thing,I'll have to do a clean install. I suppose I should state that the FIRST time this happened, I just figured it was a bad bios update on my part and that was why it went back to a previous version. If you get 1 of these boards, make sure you keep track of which version bios you have installed so you know if it flakes to a previous ver. on you and you can just reset it with the dual bios feature instead of clearing the bios. (Wish I'd thought of that,but it's a habit to clear it at the board if there's an issue.Didn't know it would wipe the TPM keys)

Don't forget they did that whole Relaunch of the 20- series with the Supers less than a year after the original cards launched. Piss'd me off all to hell when they did that.

On a side note, at least AMD is willing to toss buyers a bone if they buy the last gen graphics card new unlike Nvidia who wants to throw a new last gen card out for buyers that's actually worse than the others it already had. https://www.amd.com/en/gaming/raise-the-game Get up to 2 games when you buy select AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 Series graphics cards* Who will you be?

Just a quick point out, My first "expensive to me" video card purchase was my MSI GTX 970 4g at a cost of about $350 plus tax. My next upgrade was an EVGA RTX 2070 XC Gaming for $550 plus tax, when released the RTX 3070 from EVGA started around $550 MSRP BUT couldn't be found for under $600 on their site even today (despite Nvidia lowering the MSRP of the 3070 to $500) Given the fiasco of the 2 4080's and the smaller brothers un-launching and apparent re launching as the 4070Ti (Gigabyte has already filed the models they're making of it https://www.techradar.com/news/nvidia-rtx-4070-ti-gpu-could-arrive-soon-but-at-what-cost ) Who KNOWS what the actual cost of a RTX 4070 will end up being? But my point is that we can see a steady increase in price, but it JUMPED with the 3xxx series because of Covid related issues(supposedly) and now they're keeping the prices right up there. Oh BTW, the 1070 from EVGA was around $430 to $450 so you can see an increase of roughly $100. Note in the included screenshots that the current listing for NEW EVGA 3070's show they are selling for $100-$150 more than the 2070 I bought new even though the 4xxx series has started to release.

I was kinda excited at first read when I saw the "console support" listed, but after checking, found out that XBOX = "The spec sheets also confirm that both the Xbox Series X and Series S each have three USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, killing the hopes of many who wanted a USB-C port." While the PS5 offers 3 USB 3.2 @ 10 Gbps each.(don't know if they'll slow if using more than 1 for storage at a time) Looks like Microsoft dropped the ball in this case.

Here's some cards outta MY price range but some of my peeps here might be interested. 3090's & 3090ti's Starting at $989.99 and $1099.99 US respectively. P.S. these are NEW cards, not refurbs from what I saw. EVGA having a sale.

lol, Seriously? Naughty Dog,The company that made Uncharted and The Last of Us series "Naughty Dog, LLC is an American first-party video game developer based in Santa Monica, California. Founded by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin in 1984, the studio was acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2001." Still wanna talk about Corp's buying gaming studio's and making their content exclusive to their own platforms? Edit: Oh wait! Let's blame Microsoft for Blizzard games not being available already.... I wonder how this will get worked into the Sony scare tactics? Did MS put Blizzard up to it?

Really??? I'll just run 1 example by in argument against that, The Uncharted Franchise.... Epic Game store launched in 2018, The First Uncharted game launched in 2007, Finally in 2022 Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, a remastered version of A Thief's End and The Lost Legacy, was released for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC. Sony's been at it longer than Epic

yeah,when I pull the EVGA ones up new they show more connectors. Don't know why the refurbs only have the 3 vga cables listed but they show up to 9 on the new 1's. even more to worry about if I was upgrading.
