Factually untrue?

Is that why a Swedish retailer publicly admitted that they couldn't meet the MSRP for the 6800 and 6800XT in an attempt to explain what would look like price gouging to the customers, since the MSRP was below their purchase price? https://web.archive.org/web/20201119135735/https://www.inet.se/kampanj/6000/amd-radeon-rx-6000-serien

Is that why the Powercolor has mentioned that margins are at a historical low for a new product? Is that why the 5700XT Red Devil was $40 over MSRP, and the 6800XT Red Devil is $150 over MSRP? https://youtu.be/Lk20IzZN-xk?t=596

Or how about ASUS' Strix 6800XT, which costs a cool $899, or $250 over MSRP? But I guess it's got an AIO strapped onto it, so that justifies the price.

Sure, the Red Devil, Nitro+, Strix - all of them are some of the highest-end aftermarket models as far as modern AMD GPUs are concerned.
Though I think you'll be hard-pressed to find even a basic aftermarket 6800XT that isn't $50+ over MSRP.

Also, speaking of "factually untrue", you've mentioned several times that AMD is intentionally gimping specifically mining performance on their GPUs. I looked this up for a bit on the internet, and guess what I found? Nada.
^ and where'd this come from?
Have you got anything behind your ridiculous claims, or are you just that unapologetically hypocritical?

XR6 reacted to WkdPaul in Do you think things were better before (circa the turn of the millennia)? November 26, 2020

heavy moderation and eggshell walking is standard BECAUSE of trolls, disrespectful statements, and lack of empathy, if you think getting backlash because of a statement you made is due to "snowflakes" and "SJWs", think again. Discrimination is an issue with the person making the statement, not the people getting offended by it.

XR6 reacted to Mateyyy in Mixing DDR3 and DDR4 sticks November 26, 2020

DDR is not backwards/forwards compatible, so no, you can't mix your DDR4 memory with his older DDR3.

Thankfully, the notch on DDR4 doesn't match the one on DDR3 (or DDR2/1 for that matter) memory sticks, so you won't be able to install the DDR3 memory in your board.

No, I wouldn't. What would I do with all that money, if there was nothing interesting to spend it on?
Maybe other people would be, but not me.

GK61 or any other similar Chinese 60% from Aliexpress. If you want clicky, get some Kailh BOX switches, if you want linears, get some Gateron Yellows, if you want tactiles I don't really know lol

XR6 reacted to kelvinhall05 in New build ryzen 5600x and B550M Pro-P, won't post 1 long and 2 short beeps November 22, 2020

You've literally linked a thread saying that your beep code indicates a GPU problem. You have no GPU installed, and your system doesn't have an iGPU. I wonder what the problem could possibly be. Hopefully someone here knows!
