Oh, that's interesting I guess... But I want to know how many of those "photo of RTX3080" listings have been sold.

Temperature difference?
Power Consumption ?
 
Simply showing a graph with numbers on it means very little when you consider everything else.
2 to 8% better... sure, but if you need a cryo chiller to cool it down and consume 400W, it may as well be dead on arrival (just an example).
Then, according to these, they are comparing their 8 cores/16 thread CPU to the AMD 12 cores/24 threads.
You lose 4 cores and you gain as little as 2% at 1080p ?  Not sure it's worth it when you consider EVERYTHING ELSE we can do with a PC. Then again, single core clock has always been Intel's "forte" in the last couple of years, which is typically what games still demand instead of properly using multicores.
 
 
Wouldn't be the first time Intel lied on their graphs, too.
Better wait for independent reviews...

If it's 1-8% at 1080p it's probably nothing at 1440p and 4k. Knowing Intel, they'll charge $550 for it and claim it's the best thing since sliced bread. I guess it'll at least make a good 800FPS CSGO CPU.

What a lame event. Literally nothing new except the banging on the chest how awesome NVIDIA is. DLSS still stuck with per-game limitation, RTX still in only few select games, announcement of RTX 3060 that has been out for ages in Ti variant and is very much unobtainable like the rest and a meaningless "laptop" launch of devices not even made by NVIDIA that happen to have a tiny bit from them inside. Sigh. Was hoping they'll gonna announce game agnostic DLSS, but no such thing. Just tiny bit more of the same old everything.
 
Also, anyone noticed how they conveniently marketed RTX 3060 as "60 fps" card and put the framerate above 60 fps with DLSS? Sorry NVIDIA, but just quit with this bullshit. When DLSS is game agnostic, sure. But when it's very much and entirely dependent on the game supporting it, you can't claim it's "60 fps" mark as something it does globally. Coz it doesn't. It's in those games and those games only. It's crappy and it's misleading marketing BS speak.

Gotta slip in that jab at Sony/AMD

"8K reactions!"

Really guys? This was the cringiest thing I've ever seen...

They'd be able to review it, but they would have to wait 36 hours after the game was released to review it. This also wouldn't be a problem for anyone who purchased the game after the first 36 hours of its release.
 
From the article:
 
People who haven't played the game would still be able to leave a review on metacritic. I don't even own a playstation nor have I ever played the last of us games but I could still leave a review for it if I wanted to.
 
I understand the problem they're trying to solve - SJWs and Butthurt simps reviewing bombing a product because they don't like something about it (in particular those who haven't even played the game but are just latching on to something they saw on twitter, etc).
 
However, I think preventing reviews in the first 36 hours might not be a good thing in the long run. A lot of people purchase games in the first few days of its release and if there's a blackout on customer reviews in the first few days then it could harm the customers ability to research the product before buying it. For example; if there's game breaking bugs on release day and I see that in reviews I know not to waste my time and money buying the game straight away. I can wait a week or two for them to fix the bugs in a patch and when I see reviews and comments saying that the bugs are fixed then I can reconsider buying the game again. Maybe wait a month or two for things to improve and by then it might be discounted from its original launch price.

How about devs don't make a game that actively insults its customer base or doesn't piss on the legacy of a previous game?

Just get the better GPU and run everything off it.

Lee : don't buy iPhones they're costly/i don't like phone cases. 
Also lew : here's an 11$ case for 45$. I made this. 

We have the RX 580 to satiate us for the time being, what I really wanna see is the 5900 XT to clap back at the 2080 ti.

Hmn...
  
I think YouTube has them covered.

No thread for "Intel’s behavior is PATHETIC – Core i9 10980XE Review"?
 
 

We also trusted CDPR to NOT do micro-transactions at all considering their numerous statements to the contrary...

I'm a bit skeptic about this. The major issue with a re-breather is handling the flow and Co2. 
If any valve fails or leaks you will not notice this till its to late, same with the flowrate. The second you notice this its already to late.
 
Them saying this is "safe" raises an eyebrow with me. There is a reason why the standard scuba setup (tank with premixed air, open breather. bye bye Co2) is used by everyone. Its safe and vaults are easily detected.

Also remember that the Red Dot award is for the design (Fonts, graphics ect) not the actual product. And they hand em out like cookies if you pay up that is

Kinda stupid design. Boyancy in a cave for example will be a nightmare.
If I want a decent rebreather, I would still buy a Revo (if I had the money).
Yes it is more bulky, but autonomy and range are much bigger and probably less trouble, like clearing the ears.

use microsoft's Download assistant to make a bootable USB drive, then go into your boot options and select your USB drive to boot to, then windows install should begin. 
 
your MoBo should have an easy UEFI that lets you just click the drive you want to boot to. 
if not, go to boot options, then change boot priority, make "removable media" the first boot device. (removable media may be named something else.)
you may also need to enable legacy boot if you're trying to load an older version of windows. 
 
always use the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the MoBo, not 3.0 ports or Case header ports. 
you cannot boot Win7 or older onto an M.2 drive, as the installation media does not have the drivers to recognize the new hardware. 

Upgraded most the last 2 weeks
2600K -> 3700X
H60i -> H100i Platinum RGB
ASUS P8Z68 V Pro - > ROG Strix X570 F
Kingston 8 GB + Crucial Ballistic Tracer 8GB -> G Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 16 GB
Thermaltake Chaser Mk 1 -> NZXT H710i
Added Samsung 970 evo Nvme instead of Samsung 840 Pro as boot drive

Wanting to upgrade GPU (now Crossfire Sapphire R9 290 Vapor X) but saving for now.
Probably a RTX 2070 Super/ 2080 / 2080 Super 
Or maybe when AMD releases something like 5800 or 5900 in the near future.

And later probably new monitor 1440p and 120/144hz
