what about separating images and less-compressables such as PDFs from the actual code?

yeah, i haven't checked here, but in AU, HUb found that the cheapest Nvidia at the same price as the 6600XT is the 1660 Super

hope you didn't pay more than $180 or so... i think i lucked out at ~$150-160, however you want to calculate the $20 combo savings at Microcenter... (before the fall hardware stock madness)

it's been hot since you could get a 1950X for $450 like i could last Black Friday (and i think a little before that, too)! i even took top 14 if not top 10 with just the Threadripper on the Sheep-It renderfarm distributed computing project in just my first 30 days trying it (i even messed up a...

yeah, turret worked ok until Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. guess i'll find out in April, too!

my incentive to crunch is that i've lost both parents and a few relatives to cancer. it may not find a cure during my lifetime, but at least i like to hope it's helping more than donating money to a random organization

my problem with all these "other brands/gaming stuff" is that they haven't been around as long as Senn/Audio Technica/Grado/Ety/AKG, nor are they focused on keeping audio snobs happy. if you DO go with a non "audiophile" brand, i wouldn't spend more than $50-80. heck, i'd even suggest Sony (like...

oh yeah, i was going to mention Beyer (with the sidenote that they're uncomfortable on my ears) but forgot. also maybe AKG (but i don't think i've heard these)

get a Sennheiser (no lower than HD580) or Audio-Technica (both regular, not gaming) and get a lapel mic or something. "gaming" tax is stupid

whew, i thought i was the only one xD

might be ballsy if Intel had the guts to send a PCB layout/photo to Buildzoid...

well, i'm happy i don't just game and that AMD caught up enough to the 8700K for me (and that IPC parity has been reached). now i just hope that RPCS3 can utilize the 8 cores (or 6 or 12!) for SPE emulation 1:1 core:SPE rather than being stuck on one CCX

heh, the 3600 will run just fine on a $60 board just fine, but is probably the most comfortable on an $80 MSI B450 board

the frustrating thing is how long Intel has been sitting on the same IPC. tho, i suppose it's good they didn't swoop in with Ice Lake before Zen 2 launched, giving AMD some breathing room and some room for competition for a while
