    I've been an Nvidia guy pretty much forever but I'm looking real hard at the 7900xtx. Definitely going to wait till all the regulars get their hands on it to make sure it holds up but it's sounding pretty good right now.

    Looks promising, especially at the MSRP listed compared to Nvidia.

    I haven't owned anything non-Nvidia since the days of old like the 9800 All in Wonder Pro.

    Every so often I find random reasons to power up this dinosaur. Built it 22 years ago and it still works. It seems since the last time I powered it up, one of the RAM sticks (or slot) died, and had to re-seat the video card. The GPU fan also seems to have died as well. I have another AGP card for it. Between the HDD and power supply fan, it's not quiet. (Though I kind of enjoy the old HDD noises).

    Did a little shopping today, I think I have one HDD left in my rig so I’ll replace that and the two 1TB Samsung SSD’s that are my “storage space” I’ll replace with the 2 TB SSD’s.

    This should fix my storage problems.

    I really have no choice. We are upgrading everyone soon, so I am trying to figure it out. There is a lot to like but it is funny how one or two things can just set you off.

    Right clicking on the taskbar you should have an option in that menu to disable widgets, new & interests, etc.

    I see, would probably take a registry modification. I've never found anything I actually wanted there.

    I haven't messed with them much, but when you close one you can select an option for not seeing more from that source. Now, whether random ones come back at the whim of our friends at Microsoft, I do not know.

    I really don't get it. I started out doing this but then realized there are hundreds more. I am not sure there is enough time in the day to remove each of them

    Need some help; Looking at buying something pre-built for the kiddo for christmas, extremely budget oriented. She doesn't play anything very graphics demanding, but would like to find something that could handle Overwatch if she chose to give it a try at 60fps/1080p, so nothing crazy.

    For context, she's been playing Sims on my old macbook air (2019) and we've hit the threshold for storage so its not a very fun "gaming" experience anymore; plus I wouldn't mind having the macbook back lol. So something along the performance of that at minimum, which hopefully shouldn't be hard. Budget is "the cheaper, the better".

    This probably overkill but a nice little package for $700.

    Ending up going with a 5800x3d since I had rewards through Best Buy. Combined with a 6800xt, it’s amazing seeing essentially 165fps locked while playing call of duty in 1440p. My watch has now ended :rofl:
