Maybe trying to make this look yummy to the people? https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-to-replace-its-many-mail-variants-with-one-outlook/?ftag=TRE-03-10aaa6b&bhid=26489920132515480536915462877029&mid=13224373&cid=1295433119 "Microsoft looks to be finally moving to a true, single Outlook client, but it may not be available as part of Windows 10 until 2022, according to a new report."

Not looking for LESS expensive per se,(I paid roughly $600 after taxes for my non Super 2070 when I bought it 5 months after release) What I'd like to see is a second generation of a card NOT being released less than a year after the first with better performance @ a cheaper price.THAT really triggers buyers remorse and makes people bitter towards the maker when they release THREE cards in 3 years time. 10/2018 sees the 2070 released,07/2019 sees the Super variant with 32 more Tensor cores ect., on it.And 10/29/2020 sees the RTX 3070 released. Will we see another in 10/2021??? When will the card a year madness end? My previous card purchase was a GTX 970 in 2015 and only reason I really looked to upgrade was the RTX and DLSS features.So to have my purchase "outclassed" less than a year after it's release by it's own company @ a cheaper price kinda hurt. When I upgrade again, Intel may FINALLY have a card competing or if AMD is still doing well,I'll look at their offerings.Nvidia has taken my final dollar on a NEW purchase unless it's the ONLY choice.

And that's why there will slowly be fewer builders. I know I certainly can't toss out a grand just for the gpu in a build.They're cutting their own throats.

While it seems to point a bad finger towards Apple,note the links include the info that Apple took action against these manufacturers.My main point was that even though the companies were moving to India,they were STILL using the same type of business practices as before. The reason Apple was the company mentioned instead of 1 of the others,is because the riot at the iPhone plant was what brought the story to my attention. Edit: This is a better story than the previous link that wanted a trial... https://techcrunch.com/2020/12/19/apple-puts-contract-partner-wistron-on-probation-after-violence-at-india-plant/

Another Apple supplier has been caught doing bad things, First it was Pegatron in China (see engadget link for THAT story)https://www.engadget.com/apple-pegatron-suspension-labor-abuses-china-111030340.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMK8DrWk3AluDwhZf4CMv9hDzSTengnzC_Am9Mc5fJxuN1-c0NQK6BeOPw8DQoycZymOVqpQBKoqOc4vYkqO7q-94yepcKf4gZDYcBu1dwd1hkhnkIq0v-HmQQ3oCJnCszQjr_4SQxRVWvWhuOUy2OWcGFTLmx8TJgeImi3v0dMr&guccounter=2#:~:text=Apple has suspended one of,work night shifts and overtime. Then we have Apple moving to India where it seems more of the same starts happening.(it seems all these factories are being run by Taiwanese based corps) Wistron has a plant in India with a major screw-up that forces Apple to suspend their dealings with them until they get their house in order. https://techcrunch.com/2020/12/19/apple-puts-contract-partner-wistron-on-probation-after-violence-at-india-plant/ Meanwhile,Foxconn is all set to open a factory in India(or already has by now) so people won't have to worry about their iPhones coming from China... https://www.indiatvnews.com/business/news-apple-begins-production-of-iphone-11-in-india-make-in-india-636669 Will work conditions be any better? from the example seen at Wistron,I'd guess it'll be the same ole,same ole.....

I'll just say this, on Amazon,no cards are available @ list price in the RTX 3xxx series, on Newegg, out of 3 pages of cards in that series, ONE card was available from a 3rd party seller for $500.00 over the MSRP listing @ PNY. The vast majority may wait,but you still have a load who buy as soon as they're available. We ALL know people who know what they're doing,unfortunately there are a lot more people who read the box trying to figure if it's better than what their kid already has,or they ask the sales person(shudders)who just directs them towards a more expensive card.? Perfect example,when my friend got his comp & we were looking for a used card for it,I suggested a GTX 1060 with 6Gb of memory cause he doesn't game,but if he decides to it would handle older games fine,& even newer games on lower settings. We were having trouble finding 1 so he was gonna get one with 3Gb of memory(cause he'd probably never use all that memory anyway lol) so I had to explain that it had a less powerful processor in it & that was part of the reason we were going with the 6Gb card,for the more powerful gpu also. He was like "but aren't they both the same since they're 1060's??" I just shook my head and said it's Nvidia and they do that 2 people. Not everyone ck's as deep as they should.

The missing Tensor cores will make the difference I believe. "RDNA 2 isn’t as efficient at ray tracing as Nvidia’s second-gen technology, though. Turning on ray tracing drops frame rates by roughly 38 to 45 percent on the Radeon RX 6800-series cards, compared to 28 to 37 percent on the GeForce GPUs." "The biggest missing piece for Radeon? DLSS. Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling feature uses dedicated tensor cores to upscale games using AI, letting the games render at lower resolutions to increase performance. DLSS 2.0 works like black magic in games that support it, clawing back most or all of the frames lost to ray tracing’s hefty performance impact. The Radeon RX 6800-series lacks an answer to Nvidia’s tensor cores or DLSS." https://www.pcworld.com/article/3597535/amd-radeon-rx-6800-xt-tested-5-key-things.html

lol, Since Apple got left out of that,FB decided to pull them into the light again. ?https://www.techspot.com/news/87995-facebook-takes-out-full-page-ads-slamming-apple.html "Facebook takes out full-page ads slamming Apple's iOS 14 anti-tracking feature" They're so anti small business....

Hmmm,without pre release reviews,how are ALL the people who crashed Nvidia's site for the RTX 3080 launch (just as an example)supposed to know that's the card they want? Maybe they'd wait for the RX6900XT if it had been available early enough to preview before the 3080 launch? You can't say there AREN'T people out there who buy on day1, or even pre order when possible. Look @ xbox and PS5 pre order sales just for an example. Sadly,the common consumer doesn't seem to spend alot of time researching hardware anymore,it's a case of wanting the newest,brightest,as soon as possible.Why else would consumers have bought the first gen RTX 2xxx series,replaced it with the RTX 2xxx Super,then moved to the RTX 3xxx? We all know someone in that category of buyer.If it's latest version they want it. Maybe you want them to base their purchase choice just on what the manufacturer releases to the public? We went that route already with the GTX 970 having 4Gb of high speed ram.(Nvidia claimed at the time that there was an error in communication between the company’s engineers and its technical marketing team, but that it had not been intentionally misleading. The class action suits in question were brought against the company almost immediately after NVIDIA made the important (and more than a bit painful) disclosure that the initially published specifications for the GTX 970 were wrong. Specifically, that the card had an unusual memory crossbar organization where one ROP/L2 partition was disabled, giving the card only 56 ROPs instead of 64. Furthermore, this meant that the last 512MB of the standard 4GB of VRAM could not be accessed in a contiguous manner, impacting how it could be used.) But,no one would bother ck'n out reviewers....... LOL, maybe we should just agree to disagree on this one.

I haven't heard ANYONE say nvidia didn't have the right to say who could and who couldn't get the early release cards for review. I think what pretty much pissed off everyone was Nvidia closing the letter by saying that if they changed their "editorial direction" nvidia would be open to restoring them to the receiving list of F.E. cards. Seriously,are they gonna start doing that to everyone who writes a bad revue about 1 of their cards?You can't say this isn't making people wonder if they'll start doing that,or even worse,if they're only sending cards out now to the people they KNOW will revue the way they want the card to look? These were my FIRST thoughts when I heard the email that was sent.That,and "I wonder how long they've been thinning the herd?" EDIT: BTW, these 2 screenshots show how PR people try to recover from a screwup,even to blaming the covid lockdown. Short letter is 1st email apology,2nd is follow up.

Just in case anyone has issues and is wondering if it might be the avx/avx2 restriction and or their cpu, here are the ones that support those architectures.

As to Nvidia's RTX is the be all/end all future of gaming. Here's what I could find that was valid as of around mid Nov,2020. RTX enabled games... #1. Amid Evil #2. Battlefield V #3. Call of Duty:Black Ops Cold War #4. call of Duty:Modern Warfare #5. Contol #6. Deliver Us the Moon #7. Fortnite #8. Ghostrunner #9. Justice Online #10. JX3 HD #11. Mechwarrior 5:Mercenaries #12. Metro Exodus(and The Two Colonels DLC) #13. Minecraft #14. Moonlight Blade #15. Mortal Shell #16. Pumpkin Jack #17. Quake II RTX #18. Ready or Not #19. Ring of Elysium #20. Shadow of the Tomb Raider #21. Watch Dogs:Legion #22. Wolfenstein: Youngblood #23. Xuan-Yuan Sword VII Coming soon or just released #24. Atomic Heart #25. Boundary #26. Bright Memory: Infinite #27. Convallaria #28. Cyberpunk 2077 #29. Doom Eternal #30. Dying Light 2 #31. Enlisted #32. F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch #33. Grimmstar #34. Project X #35. Sword and Fairy 7 #36. Synced: Off Planet #37. Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines 2 #38. World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

The cpu's with more than 8 cores they tested actually showed a loss of performance,so you may want to ck it both ways. See where the 5950x took a hit after it was modified in the screenshot for example.

? The entire time I was like,THANK-U! Somebody else who sees this the way I do!

OUCH! How did this screwup happen? Optimized for Nvidia and Intel much CD Projekt Red? I've stood up 4 U & recommended U against all types of talk,but this is kinda hard to accept. Nvidia shill =CD Projekt Red did work with Nvidia, in their capacity as an official technology partner to bring raytracing to Cyberpunk 2077. https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-wont-support-raytracing-on-amd-cards-at-launch/ I HOPE this isn't being an Intel shil = https://www.tomshardware.com/news/cyberpunk-2077-amd-ryzen-performance-bug-fix-testing?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=socialflow&fbclid=IwAR3tz1nVaStDmShhEO3l552Nf9mN2O2EjG3J2nl-_HxagfjzPWtPsCr88WU "The biggest hack to emerge centers around Cyberpunk's apparent inability to use AMD Ryzen processors to the fullest. Instead of using all of the threads available to the processor, the game code only runs on physical cores in some circumstances. As a result, some threads are left unused, leaving potential performance on the table. These same problems don't appear to apply to Intel's processors, but we're also busy testing several Core models to make sure." I wonder if this is also effecting the consoles @ all? (they're 8 core amd cpu's)

lol, my GTX 970, they argued that 4Gb of ram was 4Gb regardless if .5Gb ran slower than the rest or not. Took court action to get the buyers a little satisfaction."Under the preliminary settlement, United States residents who purchased GeForce GTX 970 cards would be able to claim a $30 settlement in return for dropping further litigation against the company. With the GTX 970 having launched at $329, this amounts to a de facto 9% rebate on the card."

Public Relations:"This kinda sh^t can REALLY hurt us if it goes public..." Nvidia Corporate: "Don't worry,the Fan Boys will keep us in the black for @ least another 3 years.By then,nobody will remember this and we'll have 5 more generations of cards on the market."

Was on the OTHER site,and went and modded 3 bios to add the xeon support for a peep,just to find out we can't post zips anymore?? ended up using dropbox and sending him a message with the link.

Reading this sitting here patting my 2700x build on the case saying "It's ok! You're still safe for @ least a few more years..."?

I see this (the over clocking) more in use in the small computers going up against the intel NUC's . Asus & ASRock both have Ryzen based competitors already on the market. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-4000-powered-asus-mini-pc-challenges-intels-nuc

I love MS's simplicity to run, but @ times like this as a user I feel like I'm living in this song.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment

in case that's a serious question, the xt is sorta their "extreme" designation. like nvidia's "ti" cards.At least that what it appears to me.

I was just looking around, Dell is selling this Flight Stick on their site. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/thrustmaster-t-flight-stick-x-joystick-12-buttons-wired-for-pc-ps3/apd/aa056580?gacd=9614064-1012-5761040-266794588-0&dgc=st&ds_rl=1291002&gclid=Cj0KCQiAtqL-BRC0ARIsAF4K3WG0Bqct-j0OUYu8Vq0s7jiFbqNdPooC55CWxeDROujOB-46CmMAvvgaAvfCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

lol,if you get bored flying from airport to airport, maybe try this I just ran across & let us know if it's any good? https://store.steampowered.com/app/895870/Project_Wingman/?fbclid=IwAR1_HPLZW_zZ73kUNzz6g-oqV2VJ1KWdgn1y9RKXUF_7pC2d_EMgwDEMEhQ&gsid=1eb34a84c3e26dec9ec3fee57b026df6 ?

“Intel continues to partner with Microsoft to advance the security of Windows PC platforms. The introduction of Microsoft Pluton into future Intel CPUs will further enable integration between Intel hardware and the Windows operating system.” – Mike Nordquist, Sr. Director, Commercial Client Security, Intel. ^^^^^^^^^ Because we ALL know how secure Intel is with their cpu's.... "Besides Meltdown and Spectre, other transient attacks were eventually discovered during the past two years, including the likes of Foreshadow, Zombieload, RIDL, Fallout, and LazyFP." "LVI's position in all these attacks is, technically, of a reverse-Meltdown. While the original Meltdown bug allowed attackers to read an app's data from inside a CPU's memory while in a transient state, LVI allows the attacker to inject code inside the CPU and have it executed as a transient "temporary" operation, giving attackers more control over what happens." 3 Patches and counting in less than 1 years time.?https://www.engadget.com/2020-01-27-intel-third-mds-patch.html Not to mention the old processors they threw under the bus because it was too much trouble for too little return.https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-not-patching-spectre-older-cpu/ I trust MS partnering with the cpu makers for security about as much as I trust those "free" money emails I keep getting along with the girls who want to meet me.?
