I'm trying to think of a 3slot card I've owned, believe the only one was a Lightening card.

Just want to scream in this thread with lame excitement.

Soo many options, plus a new console year. Just a fun time to be a consumer in this space.

Edt: yes ghey, I know.

I think I'll end up staying with 8700K just because final year of support and I know I'll get the 5nm+ next year regardless so doesn't make sense for ~1 year.

LG GN950 + PS5 + 5900XT or whatever it's called.

Save cpu and new case for next year and Zen 4. Although maybe PS5 next year as well, none of the launch games really grab me.

I really like it but it has its issues. The optimization is the worst I've seen. I had 160+ on low settings with the 8700k/1080FTW3 at start and now I can't get 120 on low.

You ever see that video of a guy trying to do B roll on a multiplayer map (St. Petrograd) and saw the devs did an Assassins Creed size map for just a tiny portion of that area that nobody even saw?

Do all routers just suck anymore? My Nighthawk X6 2.4 band has pretty much died for 2 months now it's soooo slow. Tried many different things and resets. Same shite happened to my Linksys.

Fairly common these days per Google. So annoying.

Asus is the only brand that's had no issues for me.

Routers are like printers

Overpriced garbage
