I tried that. Now, instead of smelling like tobacco, it smells like beer. I did use an IPA known for extra hops. Is that okay? ;)

Hmm...if they had workable GPUs in them, I would've made a bid. ;)

Glad to hear that the 5800x3d seems to be another AMD hit. See my sig: I have a forlorn 2700x that is just begging to be replaced. Obviously, using the Trickle Down Upgrade Path (TDUP), I'll drop a new 5800x3d into my 5800x rig, use THAT in one of the 3700x, and then the 3700x replaces the...

Look at my sig: I am very happy to do a drop-in replacement/upgrade. I'll be buying more of these. That gives AMD a huge advantage, to me, over Intel.

Which one, and was it in stock or did you use N.E. shuffle?

Exactly. How many crotches are burning? How many times has YOUR crotch been on fire? What color is the smoke? Details, man, details...

Well, Fire Crotch, after being roasted by this hot reception, have you warmed up to this crowd yet? (I'll be here all week. Try the veal and tip the waitresses.)

Am I thinking about these cards? Yes. I have new motherboards and processors, and old gpus. One is a GTX670. (See sig.)

Jim at AdoredTV came back online within the last few weeks and produced a video documenting his outlook on Intel...and it's optimistic.

Right now? My GTX 670, rocking the extra vRAM: 4GB, baby. Oh, you noticed I said, "GTX 670"? Yeah, that's right. It's running my basement streaming rig...because the prices on new GPUs are ridiculous. So, it's my oldest GPU that's still running and it's doing a fine job.

Thanks. I saw that on my Newegg email and grabbed one. I had wanted a Gold, but that Platinum deal makes it even cheaper than a Gold...no brainer. Waiting on the UPS man.

LOL... I literally had to shove a still-boxed MX518 out of the way of my G502 to open a new window for that ad. I may have a mouse fetish...

While this seems correct, there are some additions/factors. A "basic American car" now has more speakers than the highest home stereo used to have. It has satellite navigation, lane-keeping, etc. It's performance, even for a minivan, exceeds what a muscle-car or high-performance car of that era...

I'd love to see a link for that at $210. (Not being snarky. I've used 3 of them for builds.)

Your card is destroyed. If you keep using it, it'll short out your mobo, send a current into your cpu, and then back-fry your psu. Send it all to me. I'll dispose of it properly. ;) Seriously...like the above guys have said, a little smoothing of the backplate wouldn't hurt. As for that...
