OP... Is this buyer's remorse and you're on a copium bend trying to justify the money you spent? It's classed as a XX80. There's a huge performance gap between it and the current 4090. That more than likely means a 4080 Ti is going to be slated right there, at an even higher MSRP than the previous 3080 Ti. Your logic isn't sound. Better than a previous card that was priced the same but classed higher? Great... Newer cards SHOULD be better than their predecessors. But it's still about price/performance and the 4080 is simply not a good value. CUDA cores are not a good metric. You're paper-racing things that are built on different architectures built on different processes. The numbers you should be paying attention to are 5 nm (TSMC 4N process) for the Ada Lovelace and 8 nm 10 nm (Samsung 8N process) for the Ampere. Great... the VRAM number is bigger for the 30 series... have you reached anywhere near that 4080's 16 GB VRAM amount yet? "allowing NVIDIA to basically do whatever they want" ... Dude... So because "market bad", it's acceptable for NVIDIA to do whatever they want??? You've effectively answered your own question. It's bad practice by NVIDIA. The people, their potential customers, are not here to take it. They are proclaiming their distaste, as is their right. How is that confusing?

I was exploring the settings of PS CC and found that I could change the drive that my scratch disk is on. I have a WD Blue 500GB HDD and a 840 EVO 120GB SSD. Which would be better to have my scratch disk on? Obviously the SSD is faster, but what about longevity? (I usually work with simple designs for shirts and whatnot.)

I don't know exactly when I found Linus but ever since I had Linusitis. I don't watch the videos for the products, I watch it for the quirks and LMG Sweg. Grats on all the success u dirty sloots

I looked into it more and it's a part of UAC and windows sending messages to other windows, for security. I'm actually not sure why I need to run as admin, I just do. It's almost impulsive to run programs elevated.

Quest and Askew: Yeah I looked around some more and saw that most brands have the same quality seen by consumers, I'll probably eenie-meenie and pic one lol. KeltonDSMer: I know those are an option but some of my friends tried that and they live close by and they say there's a lot of interference so I assume most of the frequencies are occupied or overpowering. But thanks for the idea. techswede: I should since one of the cars has a bad LCD but they're pretty old approaching 175k and 300k miles lol so I'd just spend a little bit of money for the time being with a quick and easy install. Thanks for all the input guys, looks like any cassette adapter shall do.

Yeah, and I don't expect them to be CD quality but they're relatively inexpensive and convenient so I'm just wondering which one to buy.

(Sorry about this being in General Discussions, I don't think it would fit in Home Theater or Mobile Devices so well.) My parents have 3 older cars (1998-2002) and soon I'll get my license, be able to drive, and one of the most important things to me is music while driving. The cars are too old for playing DVDs or auxiliary USB, and I'd rather not buy a bunch of 700MB CDs and have the changers awkwardly change CDs or wait for the eject to switch cars. Basically: I looked into things and all of the cars have a cassette player and need to know which cassette adapter is the best. I see Monster, Philips, and Belkin as the major brands with many good (and a considerable amount of bad) reviews. Has anyone tried these? Which ones should I get?

I noticed a few months ago that using iTunes, drag and drop is disabled when I run the program as an administrator. (Side inquiry, why should we have to run things as admin even though we're the admin?) Running iTunes as a normal user lets me drag and drop. Similar is observed with Photoshop and Premiere Pro, along with VLC and Notepad, basically everything. Why should admin status disable the convenient drag-and-drop feature? Security? Bug? Sweg?

It's not about the meaning of Next-Gen, it's the hype that builds around it via the consumer bases of Microsoft and Sony and Ubisoft and EA and all those corporations.

I think that WATCH_DOGS has so much hype because it was advertised and praised as (one of) the first "Next-Gen" games. Everyone was excited for the new consoles and the new games that would utilize the consoles' new found processing power to give us sick graphics and AI and all that sort. It's sort of like the flag ship of the "next-gen" movement (and it arrived really late).

Yeah, the Energizer ones I have right now were good at first, but now they are discharging while they sit around. Their life is pretty short. I think Eneloops are a good investment, so I ordered those.

Wired all the way (as far as the cable goes at least). More reliability and greater, consistent speeds. WiFi for convenience, Wired for performance.

Thanks for the input guys. I did some more research and noticed Panasonic purchased Sanyo, so I'm going to buy those eneloops (more charge cycles, too!). I'll look into a smart charger as GoodBytes said. Thanks a bunch!

Some time ago I bought a rechargeable battery set with a charger and it only came with 2 batteries, so I need more. I watched one of Linus' videos and he mentioned eneloops (Sanyo's rechargeable batteries) and I was intrigued as to what is the best rechargeable battery. Also, I'm getting them shipped in, will excessive heat from Florida weather degrade their performance and life? If you have any tips or ideas, pl0x provide the brand or your input!

What I see in the picture is one 6 pin PCI connector with a 6+2 pin PCI connector. You can use that with your graphics card. Use the 6+2 for the 8 pin slot and the 6 for the 6 pin slot. (Your PSU comes with 4 (6+2) connections so you're well off.) (6+2) to 8 pin slot (6) to 6 pin slot
