You can buy a legit key from a whole host of places, but Kinguin is still your one stop shop for reasonably priced keys. You got a refund; what are you whining about? Get back in the saddle

Looks like the launch date for the RTX 4070 is rumored to be April 13. Expectations are that it will perform roughly like a 3080. If that's the case, it needs to list at $599 or better for anyone to give a shite. Any higher than that and it's DOA just like the rest of the 40 series outside of the 4090. Rumors expect $699, which would be laughable.

I'll be giving 11 a go here shortly


Went to happy hour on Tuesday and drunkenly ordered another 16gb ram kit for my PC, and after a few drinks last night, somehow managed to install it

But when trying to install W11, I get a to the part right before partitioning the drives and it tells me my PC isn't to spec for W11

Probably a TPM issue, which you can fix on most modern motherboards from the BIOS/UEFI. Just look it up for your particular model, unless it's giving you a different reason for failure.

Not a bad score.

5648 mhz max frequency. This mobo gets funny about overclocking tho. No splash screen with these settings.

If anyone is looking to make the AM5 plunge, this is a solid deal:

$499.99
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
ASRock X670E
G.SKILL Flare X5 Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000

7900XT price drop appears to be working, top selling card at mindfactory.

799 should've been the original price. Although, I can see why they didn't, they didn't want to get in a pricing war.

And they still don't.

Yep $799 is a good price point for it.

You can find 7900XTX AIB models for msrp $999 now too.

I would like to get some insight from you guys on a second NVME drive that I installed on a Asus G15 laptop. I can see said drive listed in asus Bios and see it is listed in device manager in the disk drives subsection but I can't find the drive in disk Management service. (I see the 1TB OS/primary drive listed but not the 2TB new install drive).

Is there something that I am missing?

Hmm, weird. Did you install the drivers for it?

After that, I'm not sure.

It’s been a few years since I ran into an issue like this, and I can’t remember exactly which fix worked, but it was something along these troubleshooting lines: LINK

Alleged leaks are pegging MSRP at $599, which was the very top of my anyone will give a shite range. I think think it's overpriced by a solid $100, but if it gives the rumored 3080 level of performance at a much lower power draw and giving access to DLSS 3.0, as much as I may not like the value, it will likely sell quite well.

Just as many Cuda cores as the RTX 3070, with a smaller memory bus with slightly faster memory - Increase by 100!

Good lord AMD is just shitstomping Intel again in the CPU space. AM5 is starting to come alive in sales, top 8 CPU sales are all AMD.



GPU space AMD continues to sell far better. 4070ti absolutely tanks after an okay first week (370 to 30). Top 4 GPU's sold all AMD. 7900XT after the price drop still nearly doubling the 4080 in sales.
