I've been wanting to replace my G613 with a wireless TKL so I went ahead and bought this to give it a go

LINK

I'm used to the Gateron Browns on my G613. I wanted a TKL with function keys, and this was one of the better looking options I found. I do wish it had a dedicated USB dongle bc I could see the bluetooth latency being an issue

What's the absolute smallest case that can fit a single slot video card?

Rumors swirling AMD is unveiling Big Navi tomorrow. AMD chief architect tweeted the Annie song lyrics for tomorrow.

Appears the naming rumors were true they'll be the 6000 series.

I've been playing with undervolting the 2070 Super in the Sentry to reduce fan noise and help with thermals.

I've used MSI Afterburner to get it to 963 mV at 1935 MHz, which, with a custom fan curve, allows me to run Unigine Superposition and Unigine Valley Benchmarks with max temps of 71 degrees C.

However, the fan curve gets shifted when I click apply very slighly, which pushes the frequency up to 1980 MHz.

Does MSI Afterburner shift the V/F curve based on the card's supported voltage steps automatically?

Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy with the performance and thermals in such a small case, but I'm just trying to understand for my own knowledge if that is what is happening.

are you guys expecting the 2000 series RTX cards to have a price drop once the 3000 series drops?

Welp... Here we go. AMD gonna probably force Intel into an even smaller corner, but their GPU response to Ampere will be what I'm most interested in.

Hopefully Zen 3 leaks start popping up ahead of time. Can't wait to see those IPC improvements. Going to smash Intel.

Pretty much.

But at least Zen 3 is close, everyone assumed November for it. A good sign.

It’s starting to look like I’ll be buying a 3080 or 3090 at launch, and then waiting on the rest of the build... at least until we can see what zen3 looks like to decide on a cpu

I'm still waiting on my LG GN950, preorder at over a month now, and then I'll be grabbing the 6900XT when it drops and a PS5. CPU side I'll stay on my 8700K until Zen 4.



Stock related


Stock wise really only Zen 3 matters desktop wise, AMD will report record GPU sales as each console sale counts as a GPU sale, so desktop is pretty irrelevant for stock performance. Zen 3 EPYC looks insane, and the CDNA data center GPU's also look poised to gain a ton of marketshare, estimated to go from 15% to 30% in data center revenue yoy. This is where we will see AMD hit $100/s.

Projections for the stock raised today everywhere.

Mainly because of the server chips obliterating Intel.

Got the Orbi 6 mesh system in and setup today. Full coverage WiFi 6 all over with blazing speeds. So far so good, very pleased.

Okay why didn't I do this sooner what the frick! Wifi 6 4/5 bars even out in my yard behind my pool. I've spent years with dropping in and out of wifi and range extenders with trash speed etc. Sheeeeeesh.

Okay ive been sort of keeping my eye on this thread but not enough to know what exactly is new. My Gsync monitor just died on me. Power LED is on and the computer detects it but the panel is blank. Im assuming its cheaper and more worthwhile to just buy a whole new monitor. Current monitor is 1440p with 144hz. Might look into ultrawide but im not sure whats really available. I dont really want to spend more than 700$

I'm not an ultrawide guy so I have no idea on that front.

Regular monitors you can stay at 1440p and bump up to 240Hz with Samsung's latest. I think it's $649. LINK
