Yes, I'm down. I don't game much anymore, but still mess with my many Pis and water cool everything.


Benchmark threads are fun.

EVGA partnership ending with nVidia caught me by surprise tbh.

Hate to say it but the X3D parts are going to be SUPER expensive. Thats why there's the non 3D parts.

Wouldnt honestly surprise me if the 8 core one is easily $499 this time around up from $449 considering it should easily beat the 13900k.

I kind of also expect some price drops for non X3D chips, $50 or so across the board, probably sooner than later considering slow sales.

Yeah it feels like every gamer out there that's upgrading is waiting for X3D. I have no issue paying $499 an extra $50 over previous for ~30% gaming uplift.

From a CPU? I'm skeptical, but that would be amazing

In fairness, I have to think the "gaming only" enthusiast market has to be a small percentage of their overall market share. We just happen to be very, very loud

I think the early leaks are more like 20-22%.

Guy buys a $2k Gigabyte 4090 on launch day
Get box with weights in it instead
Contacts Newegg and they lock his account
Until Tech Jesus puts them on blast and they admit fault and refund the guy

If anyone needs a Steam Deck, I'm selling mine. Made me realize I'm not an on-the-go gamer

Here's to hoping AMD brings the noise next week. The RTX 4090 is a performance monster, but Nvidia seems to have stepped on its dick in every other facet of this launch cycle thus far.

Saw that earlier and was tempted, but I might as well wait for the 7000x3d

I felt the pull, but then I remembered that I’m currently replaying Dragon Age: Origins, and I really don’t need to constantly chase the newest thing

Just a few days away now!

Leaks have shown the design, sexy sexy card.

Sounding like Nov 28th release date.

Our teams' suckage is fun.

But Arkansas obliterating Auburn on the plains into firing their coach takes the win for the weekend.
