I didn’t have the patience to beat Getting Over It but it is amazing how effortless it becomes when you’re climbing terrain you’ve surmounted before.

As an aside if you're getting a hard drive don't buy seagate, all their poo poo is smd and they don't tell you this and as a result it's slow as gently caress when it pulls things off the drive I got a 2tb drive for like $40 new in a sale and I felt ripped off

I have more storage in SSDs than I ever did on platter drives. I can’t even remember the last time I bought a platter drive on its own- I have a few as external data drives but they’re all ones I salvaged new/like new out of things I was upgrading.

I literally have a stack of platter laptop drives from people I’ve helped upgrade to an SSD and its like a night and day difference for them. A $50 upgrade from a 500gig platter to SSD is great and a no brainer for most systems.

I'm assuming you need a relatively modern motherboard for those though? I'm rocking a MSI H77MA-G43 (from a few years back now) and I can't quite make out the port that the NVMe drive needs in the manual. edit: though it looks like SATA SSDs have come down quite a bit too. I've got a 1TB Plate I'm using at the minute for media storage and a 250GB SATA SSD for the windows install. Is there a recommended manufacturer for them? Amazon has a Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-76E1T0) listed as the top-rated, but I usually buy WD.

So I heard on the Bombcast that there might not be a 3080ti and variants like that, Nvidia's just sticking with flat numbers. Is there any truth to this at all?

Samsung is overpriced, they are coasting on their reputation from when they were the best even though they're nothing special now The Crucial MX500 is a solid SATA choice, it's $100 for 1TB or $230 for 2TB right now. The 2TB Samsung is $300

Thanks for the reply. I just doublechecked and yeah I have 2 PCI-e slots that it looks like the drive would fit into (though it would stick outwards from the board by the looks of things. Are they sturdy/light enough to be held in like that? Is there a way to tell if a bios supports it prior to buying? Picture of the mobo for clarification. https://www.empowerlaptop.com/p/msi-h77ma-g43-motherboard-w1711/

I don't think the H77MA-G43 supports PCIe/NVMe booting, searching for info just turned up people trying to use weird BIOS mods to get it to work I'd just get a SATA drive like the MX500 in your case

Mordja posted:So I heard on the Bombcast that there might not be a 3080ti and variants like that, Nvidia's just sticking with flat numbers. Is there any truth to this at all? Looks like the 3090 is the 'ti' equivalent, but I'm sure in another year they'll have 'super' variants along with more economical ones (3060). I have to say though... everything about them so far looks like a slam dunk. I've been waiting to upgrade my 980 and I believe this fall/winter I'll take the plunge. If everything they are saying is true, it's a really huge leap at a decent price. Now it just remains to be seen if you will actually be able to buy them at MSRP or not.

All we know is what they’ve announced so far. There’s no reason they couldn’t announce a Ti next year, or another round of Super cards.

There's plenty of room for a boutique card between the 3080 and big dick 3090, but who knows if and when it will be announced. I would guess there probably will be, but it won't be out until at least Spring of next year.

The issue is that both Western Digital and Seagate stopped indicating which ones have SMR so you have to be extra careful.

Strictly thinking about free games, War Thunder and Warframe are pretty good options. You can also subscribe to the Xbox gamepass for a month for a dollar and get shittons of games including Flight Sim which will bring your system to it's knees most likely.

If you got an RTX graphics card then Control is a great showcase for raytracing, and it's currently fairly cheap

The best game to test with is the most demanding one that you actively want to play. If you're curious about a game as a graphical showpiece and want to play through it, then do so! If the game just looks pretty but sounds unfun/not your style, it's not worth buying just to show off your new rig.

I just finished a 2nd playthrough of Control on my PS4 so I can't justify that one. Here are some games I actually own on Steam that I can just download again: Vanishing of Ethan Carter Assassin Creed Origins Deus Ex (new ones) New Hitman MGS Phantom Pain Rise of Tomb Raider Watch Dogs 2 Witcher 3 I'm sure one of these will work

This may or may not be, but seems unlikely to be fake. Nvidia is not one to leave money on the table, especially with how popular their TI cards have been in the past.

Cool. My current card's a 1070 and it's (mostly) still doing me fine, but I was thinking of waiting and splurging and going for a 3080ti for my next build.

TI name may possibly be not happening, but of course they are going to release a more powerful version of 3080 at less than the price of the 3090 in about a year.
