    Lexar NM790 4 TB w/ Heatsink

    After reading the article, I decided to order one. It's currently on sale in My region for $205, compared to $195 for "bare" version. With 4TB KC3000 settling in at over $300 for the last 6months, and no discounts in sight, nm790 is no brainer.

    Gainward GeForce RTX 4080 Phoenix GS

    Boooooring... Bought my first car for less and it still drives me to work 8 years on. Sorry, normal people need more news on normal priced video cards, not some wet dream of nVdia execs. For $1200 I can have a PS5 and life supply of video games. You have to do better than that, Jensen.

    NVIDIA TU116 GPU Pictured Up Close: Noticeably Smaller than TU106

    So GTX1660Ti vs RTX2060 has 20% less Cuda cores, around 17% less memory clocks and around 100% less RT cores. Yet it costs 20% less than RTX2060? What does It tell You? For Me it means that even nVidia doesnt believve that RT cores are worth anything.

    GIGABYTE Outs GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming OC White Graphics Card

    Notice as the air entering the fans got nowhere to go. I would throw out the fan shroud and install there some 92mm fans on zip-ties. I'll bet it would went down in temps into the Accelero territory for half the space and quarter of cost (not that it matters for someone buying 1080Ti). Anyway...

I'l bet this LG is the same panel with some electronic overdrive...

    System Requirements for Metro: Exodus Outed; Denuvo Protection Included

    Well, don't forget that original Metro 2033 was also extremely heavy on requirements, actually becoming an industry benchmark. Unfortunately, that also meant that it was inaccessible for many gamers and studio probably lost some income from worse equipped gamers dishearted by reviews back then...
