Hopefully my findings and previous efforts will live on, perhaps even be of some use to someone who is only just starting in the world of "old but not obsolete" 
Take care & most importantly, have fun!

In case anyone's still reading these...
I am still lurking from time to time and remembering the good times here at TPU, just no longer posting anything interesting.
In fact, I'm pretty much done with all the projects, and all my gear is either stashed out of sight & out of mind or even given away. At this point I don't even remember exactly for every single component.

I am going to be gone until Monday. I am doing the Spring Flood Run, a Motorcycle ride to Winona and back. It's kind of a rally, Funds raised for Gillette's Children's fund. There are stops along the way to collect stamps, which enter you into a Bike giveaway. 3 days and it looks like rain each day! Good thing I got my Rain Gear, last fall!!
Typical Wednesday for me. I did help find a place to fix my sisters car/ Our Brother is going to go over and help her move the car, from the shop that currently has it and wants over 50% more money than the place we found, less than 5 miles away. Other than that, just sat around all day. Now it's time for bed. Good Night TPU!
A brief technical inquiry: Did you set up a dual configuration using Gigabyte Radeon RX 6900 XT cards on your 2019 MacPro? Ultimately, does the combined performance actually double when these two graphics cards operate together, or are there inherent limitations? I’d appreciate your advice on which card would be the optimal choice given today’s market conditions.
My vertical mount died >:C
Cool, calm, confidence
As of early 2025, I acquired the eXtremeHW.net tech community from ENTERPRISE.
I started out on places like OCN over 2 decades ago. But, now I own an entire tech community
Wish me luck.

I'm here,
So, needless to say, I wasn't impressed with what I was able to "play" (I played the original Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi series), game ran like absolute crap on my system even with settings turned down, and I requested a refund - which was just approved. 
I go back into the game - it's running on my main monitor, and I have HWINFO running on my secondary, and when I went into the "shop" where you can buy capsules and outfits with in-game Zeni, my damn rig turned into a jet engine, lol. HWINFO recorded a whopping 105 degree C GPU hotspot, and GPU fans were spinning @ 3k RPM! 
Last night, I bought Dragonball SPARKING! Zero via Steam, thinking my system was more than adequate to play it (it looked like it on paper) and... my damn PC shat itself not even 5 minutes into Goku's story campaign - rig literally shut itself down and restarted. So, that was nice...
Good Night TPU!!
My obsolete PC is really testing me today 
TechPowerUp's CPU database was edited? Why?
Perhaps I need a break from playing games for a bit if I'm starting to rage at.. blocky anime games on a childrens platform..
OK, got the appointment I wanted!! Actually sooner than I was previously told!! From the VA!! Whoop, Whoop! So, May 1st I get to meet my new Primary Care Provider, and hopefully we can do a couple blood tests and get to the bottom of my recent loss of energy! I have a feeling I know what it is, but I am no Doctor.
In other news, this happened!
