Re: [H] Still alive?
Funny...I was randomly thinking of the HWG a few days ago when I was doing some email reorganization. Good to still see people kicking around. Like Steve, still running an old gpu, GTX 970 from ~2014/15 I think. I had half a thought to try to get a 3080 something but those prices are insane and they're still impossible to get. Build your own doesn't seem quite the same as it used to! Scott On Mon, Aug 9, 2021 at 1:37 PM Thane K. Sherrington < th...@computerconnectionltd.com> wrote: > Still here!

And 3xxxG APUs are still old Zen+ designs. Definitely annoying--not that Intel has been doing any better lately. That, too, has been fixed with the 5xxxG APUs, though I have other complaints with those chips. Either way, let's hope they remain consistent going forward. -Original Message- From: Hardware On Behalf Of James Boswell Sent: Monday, August 9, 2021 12:48 PM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Still alive?

Still here! I hope everyone else is doing well.
Re: [H] Still alive?
Thanks, Greg. I'm assuming that AMD is doing like Intel and this is a 5th generation Ryzen. Looks like full circle again, I had all Athlon systems back when Thanks...Steve On 8/8/2021 12:39 AM, Greg Sevart wrote: My vote would be 5800X. I've got a 5600X, 5800X, and 5950X all in use.

Still here. Thinking finally of building a Ryzen system. Which Ryzen processor is the sweet spot these days? Building a new system is fine, but I don't know when I could ever afford a video card again. Luckily I never sold my GTX 750. Steve On 8/7/2021 8:31 PM, Al A wrote: Still Alive? al
