My budget always keeps me one generation back. If this was $600.00 I would jump on it just for the small lead in most games over the 4070TI. Free Bump for looking and drooling.

I am looking for a larger screen android (screen, battery, battery meter and wi fi must be OK) Phone can be blocked or banned. This will be used on Wi Fi only. Top price $40.00 shipped unless you think you have something special we can talk. As far back as Galaxy S10 plus, Pixel 4 Pro but the...

Normally you are trading a shorter warranty period for a great savings. I buy used on the H and don't expect a 1 year warranty from the sellers.

I want a 2TB boot drive but my 1TB Rocket + is damn fast and hard to get anything slower.

So far, no BSOD. I will run it like this for a month and if it repeats I will give it another tiny tweak. Previously it would have repeated by now.

16 gig and it would be on the top of my list. I may just have to wait until the 3090 gets old enough to grab for $600 or sol

I lean towards RTX, probably for no good reason but have had good results from the 3xxx series and earlier so I am comfortable.

To be honest, single player games only at 4K but I just really want to "feel" the upgrade and do a little future proofing as the 3070 is aging.

Thanks, I thought a tiny bump like that couldn't make a difference.

I just grabbed some 4 16gig Corsair 3600 sticks for my Asus X570 prime with a 5900X. I never looked on the QVL. About once a week I was getting a blue screen of death saying memory errors. The mem was set up with XMP and PBO and was running at 1.350. After a few shut downs I set it to 1.355 and...

I am thinking jumping on a 3090 if I see one will carry me over a year, maybe two.

I won't have another $200.00 but I have heard the complaints about the low NVRAM on the 4070. I would go the 3090 route if I thought I could get a 24 gig 3090 at $650. Not going to go the 6950 range just because I have had a steady solid experience with the 3xxx series.

I have a 3070, I don't OC. Is there anything I might be able to upgrade to that would make me notice the difference? I am planning on a maximum of $650.00 which would include being able to get a minimum of $300.00 for the 3070. Of course this means guessing about used card prices but I buy my...
