Well, I have a laptop with a Ryzen APU in it and also a dedicated Nvidia GPU so that would be one example where both might happen.

A budget cpu option I guess?

Um, what? Why? Slow news day? :LOL:

also..... if I'm 1440p or even the dreaded 4k, does it really matter with a 4070? I know WHY you run benches at 1080 to show what the cpu can do, but I don't play at 1080. If I'm GPU limited then the CPU kinda doesn't matter coming from a 5700x, right?

Nice review! Hey what cooler did you guys use, I don't think I saw that in the review specs

I'm all for gpu competition but let's see how the drivers play out. Not that I'm looking to replace my 4070 with this, but then again I spent twice as much as these cost.

Oh jeez, Sparkle still exists? I had a GT 660 card an eon ago. Borderlands 2 on 1080p was "mostly" playable iirc.

That is a lot of years. 31 years ago I was still working for like $7 an hour and happy to be getting it. Also the Bennigans across the street had 99 cent drafts and $2 appetizers after work every night, so those were good times? I spent some years drinking cold draft beer and cheap wings +...

I'm ok with that

no RGB is the correct amount of RGB

Do tell.... or put it in the FS thread?

I miss my Vita, I never should have sold it. But the mortgage was due, the money was tight, and I had too many toys laying around. Sold all kinds of stuff I wish I still had. I can also kick myself for selling my steering wheel rig and my hotas stick.

I found some grey market stuff. Haven't decided yet. Prolly need to throw on a VM first and look.

I used to have a little tablet device that ran Win 10 ARM edition, it was kinda cool but I had all kinds of app compatibility issues. Forget any kind of mainstream gaming etc. But just for a desktop and browser, eh? OTOH if that's all that's needed there are a million linux options

Planning my eventual upgrade, it seems like LTSC might be a good option since it cuts out a ton of bloat and all the AI/Copilot crap. Anyone have experience with it? Also it seems I can't use a regular Win 11 grey market key with it, I would have to buy a regular license which is likely around...

I have no words. None.

cool I guess but $220? nah

hmmmm
