    Upgrade time!!!

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

    But, being an AMD guy, and always after the best that AMD has to offer.....upgraded from the RX 6800 to a Nitro+ RX 6900 XT (cost me >1300USD but it's a local set with local warranty for peace of mind), but that's a more reasonable price here compared to the crazy scalpers' price here in my neck of the woods. I'd pre-ordered an XFX Speedster MERC319 RX 6900 XT, but due to a mix up about my CC limit, my preorder was postponed and I canceled that preorder in a huff, went out and snagged this Sapphire card instead.

    I'm playing Gears of War 5 Hivebuster at 3840x1080 at max setting and it's a hoot! Steady >100fps just about all the way, except for cut scenes. Borderlands 3 is "buttery smooth", who used to say that? I put that phrase in apostrophes because someone used to always say that.....can't for the life of me recall who though.
