I'd gotten my Nitro+ RX 6900 XT back on the 2nd of January at a (then) whopping price of 1350USD (local $ to USD). I was shocked to learn that in some parts of Europe, the recently launched RX 6700...

Below are a two pics of my 2nd rig, I'd decided that though my i7 3960X has lower IPC's than the i7 4770K, it still has 50% more cores/threads, so it should be better in the long run. I'd originally...

I've heard some good word on Gears Tactics, though I'm really not a fan of such top down type of game. But I will look into it, actually partially through Hivebusters, it's a tough game with more...

This gen, both nVidia and AMD, is just so...... messed up! The prices are way beyond MSRP from both makers, the sweet spot cards - RTX 3080 and RX 6800 XT - are wickedly overpriced and in such short...

The Nitro+ RX 6900 XT cost me about 1320USD, yes I know it's pretty high, but this is a more reasonably priced 6900 XT. I'd wanted the MERC319 RX 6900 XT which would have cost me about 1181USD at...

Thanks! I think I should be good for a number of years, looking forward to spending money on other unnecessary stuff this year....like food and Coke (not the drug, the drink):p :D . Well, maybe I...

I've updated my rig, swapped out the PC VEGA64 Red Devil for a Sapp Nitro+ RX 6800 and had been using it for 5 about weeks (bought it on 11/27/20), moved up to an RX 6900 XT about a week back now...

Bought a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6800 in late November....had a great time with it!

I'd swapped places for my AMD R9 3900X and Intel i7 3960X rigs as I believe my 3900X + VEGA64 would be better suited for my 49" 32:9 Freesync 2 monitor, managed to get Gsync to work with my i7 3960X...

What mobo are you loking at? B450's like the MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX or Mortar MAX would save you some money to put into a better CPU/GPU. You don't really need an X570 unless you want/need PCIe4.0 and...

Yes, but sometimes that 'break' turns out to be rather extended....at least for me it's true for some of the games I've tried.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 -Kinda lost interest
Borderlands 3 - Couldn't...

I've replaced the 4x DDR4 3200 CL16 RAM with Patriot Steel Viper 2x 8GB DDR4 3733 CL17 RAM, but running it at Memory Clockspeed of 1800MHz (XMP enabled) (3600MHz effective RAM speed) in coupled mode...

This rig was built mainly for games, so it's a given I've gamed on it!;) I don't like it, I freaking love it!!!:D I've played UT3, Gears 5, Metro Exodus, Strange Brigade, Borderlands 3, and a few...

'Grats on the imminent arrival of your 2nd child!:) Since this is your 2nd child, you've had practice before, so this should be a cinch.;)

To keep it on topic, just beat Gears 5, on to The Sinking...

You know you wanna do it, scratch that itch!;) And just to tempt you a little more, a shot of my rig with the PowerColor Vega64 Red Devil
