I remember the noise from my 290s made me quit mmining until I got some 7870 Tahitis and 7870 Ghz editions for mining.

I've been debating on whether I should build a PC to transition from the original PS4 to have better framerate while playing FPS and finally decided to pull the trigger. The PC components have been extremely hard to find in stock, but my local MicroCenter had a bunch of stuff come in today and I decided to go for it.
Wasn't sure what to get for the GPU. Originally thought about the 1660S, but didn't think that was going to be enough of an improvement or future proofed. Settled on the 2060 KO Ultra, but it wasn't in stock so I had to upgrade a bit....

Maybe as an Nostalgia rig?
I've been wanting to build the Ultimate Windows 98 Gaming PC.
Posted on 6/20/20 at 9:04 pm to LSU Coyote
yup, got that one one the bottom. i was just gonna test it out and see what it does. from what i remember back when i first got mine, cross firing wasn't worth it.

it appears to be exactly like chrome.

Yep, just runs a whole lot better and isn't a memory hog.
Posted on 6/20/20 at 9:54 pm to finchmeister08
I really do want a Nostalgia build. I grew up PC gaming in the 90s, Windows 3.0, 95 and 98 hold a special place in my heart.
YouTube: LGR - Windows 98 Build
Also want a 486 build.

This is welcomed.
Edt: Okay, the new EDGE browser is awesome.
I did see some bug issues pop-up in my feeds, need to check out.

I changed my search engine to Google with no problem?

Same here, mine works great after changing it.
Check to make sure you're updated. After switching my version was still outdated and I ran into some bugs but manually checked for an update and smooth sailing since.

Intel faces criticism for comparing gaming laptops with different GPU models
Jesus Intel.
2060 vs 2060 MaxQ
3400G last gen APU vs 1050
Also Intel a month ago: benchmarks don't matter.

Deciding to just upgrade pretty much my whole PC at this point. 2070S is installed. Next up is CPU and Mobo. Not sure if I should go 9700k + Z390 or 10700k + Z490 for an extra $70.
Note: the 10700 has hyper threading, the 9700k does not.
