    RTX4000 owners club

    I'm a member now that I have an Asus RTX Tuff 4090 OC. The dual HDMI outputs are great.

    12600K price drops are making me hesitate.

    My 12600K has been rock solid at 5.3GHZ and runs very cool with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 w/4 stock Arctic fans in push/pull externally mounted and using the Thermalright contact frame. I'm still debating on putting my 13600KF in that rig along with upgrading the fans to Arctic P12 Max's I...

    G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 64 GB CL32

    It's A die. That's reflected in the last digit of the part number. I have the same 64GB kit in my Z790 rig. I'm planning on seeing if 96GB (48x2) will work. No complaints from me, performance has been flawless so far.

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I struck gold today. Got a NIB Asus Tuff OC 4090 for around four hundred dollars less than the current Amazon price, no sales tax (would have been around $200 more), a legit sales receipt and it was even delivered to me.

    Does this sound like a decent deal on a 4090?

    The problem solved itself, he decided to keep the 4090. Thanks to all for your input.

    Does this sound like a decent deal on a 4090?

    Yes to everything plus I have his address (still lives with his parents, nice house in an expensive neighborhood. I googled the address). The card is currently in a working PC. I'm not new to this game, just not up on Nvidia's latest and greatest. Of course if I can't get the remainder of the...

    Does this sound like a decent deal on a 4090?

    I've been mostly an AMD GPU buyer for years except for the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3's I got last year very cheaply. Now I'm playing with Topaz Video AI and recently asked about the best GPU to get for it. I was planning on a XFX Merc 319 7900 XTX but today a Gigabyte Aero GTX 4090 appeared locally...

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I scored a fairly mint and unmolested Corsair Carbide 500R in white for $45 off the local Craigslist a couple of hours ago. My most favorite case ever and I'd been looking for one for a few years. I now have three; two in white and one in black. It looks like my retro Asus Rampage V Edition 10/...

    What is your oldest PC component/peripheral that you still use today

    Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0. My favorite wired mouse ever. I still have 4 from 2003 and three are in use today.

    Used 3090 or new/used 7900 XT/XTX for Topaz AI upscaling?

    Video. I have a huge collection I want to redo. Entire TV series and movies mainly from the 1940's to early 70's.

    Used 3090 or new/used 7900 XT/XTX for Topaz AI upscaling?

    I'm most likely going to get a 7900 XTX for this. It's the best bang for the price at the moment other than a used 3090 plus I'll have a full warranty.

    Used 3090 or new/used 7900 XT/XTX for Topaz AI upscaling?

    I've recently began playing around with Topaz AI and my ASRock 16GB 6900 Formula OC really doesn't seem to be cutting it for this. Topaz appears to be optimized for Nvidia GPU's (I discovered this on another one of my PC's that has an EVGA RTX 11GB 1080 Ti FTW3 in it). Looking at the prices of...

    Hate to say it, but...

    The SK hynix, Solidigm and Samsung drives that were my most recent purchases have literally doubled in price since buying them. There was a warning around two years ago this was going to happen. Thankfully I'm good for the moment on NVMe drives.
