As @AlTech mentioned, trusted reviewers will buy one & tear it a new one. We as consumers should then wait with buying it just a day or two to give them the time to fully run all benchmarks.

Fair enough but I think it's more because you seemingly only read the title & got your response sent as quickly as possible.

You're using a 5800x, they run hot (I use the same chip with a dual fan tower cooler) If you've got NVIDIA ShadowPlay while in Warzone ALT+Z, go to settings, HUD & then choose to show the performance overlay. You'll be able to monitor your temperatures from there. I wouldn't expect it to go above 80c° if your airflow is setup correctly.

For your usecase SCCM is going to be total overkill, especially for the one-time you'll be using it. I recommend reading this & creating a Windows 11/10 install USB that contains all the user profiles & software pre-defined. Keep in mind if you got your .ISO through the Media Creation Tool you'll need to convert its install.ESD file to .WIM, this way you'll be able to you the full DISM toolset. For ease-of-use I recommend doing this setup on a spare laptop/PC instead of a VM, it's going to be easier to copy files over that way. When in the Windows setup process & you wish to copy over files, use notepad's built in file explorer if you don't know how to use Robocopy! (CTRL+SHIFT+F10, in CMD type "notepad.exe" then "Open", it's a hacky workaround to get a explorer GUI during setup.)

You'd need to use SCCM to push software to this PC in the way you want. Another option is integrating software into your Windows image, this can be done using DISM/Sysprep. May I ask how much users you are trying to serve here? Sounds like this is a corporate environment or you're just playing around/testing (either is totally valid!) take a look at these docs. Installing this on your AD server is possible, however in a professional setting I recommend spinning up another VM (assuming everything is virtualized) Feel free to ask if it's not all clear, I'll make some time to explain it some more if needed!

While I do have to agree that they are pretty cool toys, Ryzen offers 12 full-power cores from the word "go". I haven't looked at comparisons between the two CPU's, I recommend doing so.

Don't worry his other brain is at the dry cleaners, once he plugs that one back in he won't be high anymore!

First of all, I want to warn you : "Be careful with duplicate file finders". I've used dupeGuru before & it works like a charm, it's free & works on Windows/Linux & macOS. What I do recommend is using WinDirStat before using dupeGuru, you can manually browse through all the large files and do some cleanup that way. Hopefully this helps you out some!

In Belgium at least you're able to buy them without getting a bundle. Pricing is still all over the place & it's worth scouting out a few places before pulling the trigger on a card. Got my RTX3080 in November last year, it was way above MSRP but getting it without any other purchase was possible.

Post above me sums it up pretty well, you pay extra & you get about what you pay for; nothing more, nothing less. Look at benchmarks for both, do the games you wish to play perform up to your standard on the 3070? Then perhaps it's worth saving the money & for example buying a bigger SSD. Do you want those extra frames? There's nothing wrong with going to the 3070Ti, it's price is "right" (in the current insane market). Hopefully this answers your question somewhat

Played on both & still do! PC Gaming has always been my go-to, however PlayStation 2/3 & 4 still get regular usage and for that Nintendo fix a regular Switch does the trick. Console gaming is fun when I feel that urge to sit down and enjoy a game more slouched down. However I never feel like a controller is "the best" option to play most of the games I play. I will consider myself very lucky here, collecting games has gotten me a good few consoles/handhelds over the years; PSP, PS Vita, DS, 3DS, GBA, GB, GC, Wii, X360, etc are all hooked up and/or within arms reach. It's a lot of fun, especially with such a large library of exclusive titles to play from a big era & lot's of genres! Gaming is a lot of fun, no matter how you enjoy it; just enjoy it Now if everyone doesn't mind I'll go back to Minecraft & The Sims 2/3 because honestly that's 80% of what I play anyways..

If you're curious, AGP is the old standard used by graphics cards; LazyGameReviewer & other retro tech focused channels have some neat videos of them Pretty sure LTT might mention them somewhere as well, can't think of a video right away though..

As many others have already said, expect € 400 - € 500.. That's where I see it fit in the current market, it's currently though-as-nails to get any kind of gaming GPU; a total bummer for newcomers to the PC gaming world

If you can find a good deal on it second hand, totally go for it! Sadly the market is completely backwards at the moment, I personally find the RX 6600XT pretty good value as it's around € 650 for a decent AIB model. NVIDIA has better drivers from my experience but any RTX card (RTX 3060 comes to mind) will easily set you back € 200 more for the same price. Keep in mind I get those prices from the Belgian market, where you're from makes a huge difference! What brand is your power supply? Even if it's trustworthy with a proper Silver/Gold rating I'd jump to 600W or above; with cheaper/less quality units you risk triggering over-current protection with more modern GPU's as they spike quite high in power-draw. TL;DR: GTX1070 is a great choice if you can find it cheapily. RX6600XT would be great "value" in the current market if you make sure to upgrade your PSU. Hopefully this helped a little c=
