Merge is supposed to be similar time to 40 series release. I certainly won't be surprised if it's delayed again, but it is likely to make...

Yeah, so maybe profitable of you have cards, but not enough to offset new purchases, especially with Eth 2.0 merge looming

Is this game worth considering for a switch lite?

sharky_k replied to ItsMeAgro on EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming 24GB Graphics Card $2499 Delivered ($0 VIC C&C) @ BPC Tech
Agreed. Mining with your gaming PC while not gaming still probably worth it, but not worth buying cards just for mining now. Hopefully Eth...

I still think you would have been better off spending half this now on a 3080/6900XT then upgrading to next gen later in the year. But...

Better off with ddr4 than cheapest ddr5 for now. You wouldn't notice the difference in performance anyway.

sharky_k replied to xyron on AMD Ryzen 5 5600x (Tray Version) $299 + Shipping (Free SYD C&C/ mVIP) @ Mwave
That's a shame. It's a great board. I'm running a 5900x on this board with a cheap Deepcool Gammaxx GT cooler and it is rock solid.

Alderlake itx boards are still more expensive on average, but Intel B660 is similar price to a lot of AMD B550, so arguably the difference...

Early adopter tax. It will get faster, lower latency and cheaper over the next couple of years.

Crazy time to spend this much on a GPU unless you like burning money.

That bpc build looks to be 'better' in that components are mostly 'better' brands or slightly higher spec (5600x Vs 5600 and 3600mhz ram Vs...

Not as impressive as some of their past deals, but its a pretty fair price really.

Is there a board game sale page at these sites? Or just these games on sale?

Reviews for Amazon listings by multiple sellers are grouped. Make sure you buy it direct from Amazon and it 'should' be legit. No guarantee...

yep, fair point. I know people have made money off this, but it is very speculative. I'm not trying to sell it and wouldn't buy one myself,...

This is a form of crypto mining used to incentivise setting up of a decentralised wifi network. Interesting idea, but if you don't know...

I'm not sure about Horizon, but CPU vs GPU bottlenecking would depend on the game. 2600 -> 5900x would be massive FPS improvement in some...

Yes, it's fine. I have a 5900x running great on an MSI B450I Gaming Plus ITX board. It's really just about the quality of the VRM, but the...

True, its not really top tier in 2022 anymore. However, It's a decent buy at this price.

Only an issue if you want to plug in 3 DP monitors at once. Even then you can just plug in one with HDMI instead. Depending on HDMI...

While next gen top tier GPUs may go up to 600W, it's pretty unlikely you would want one of these in a SFF build anyway. The next gen...

3060 MSRP was never realistic for them to make any profit. It was just marketing BS so they look more competitive than AMD
