What's the last thing you purchased?

[Seyiji]

Well, gentle people of Rage3D, you can mark today down on your calendars.

Today is the day that yours truly, the ultimate AMD fanboi finally gave up on AMD.

$650 for a 6800XT was a dream. Reality is $1299 for a 6800 XT.

Given the abysmal ray tracing performance of even the 6900XT, given the nebulous timeframe when the next gen cards will be out, given the current state of the globe teetering on the edge of turmoil, I lost a piece of my brain and decided that overpaying for a 2 year old card was okay.

At least I overpaied by hundreds and not a thousand or more amirite?



It's already ray tracing and I haven't even taken it out of the box.

Welcome to the club gai :3

Also dat RTX on

Found out our new place is near a Micro Center, and also found out they carry the 27" 144hz QHD curved monitor I have at a lower price than anywhere else, so picked up a 2nd for my gaming rig.

Lucky dawg!

Lucky dawg!

Right? Haven't lived close enough to one to go regularly since 2012. When I moved to Austin my closest Micro Center was 3.5hrs away, and I only ever went when I visited my mom in DFW.

that rim protection looks nice, my wife could use that as well...

I think you can install different colors, right?

[KAC]

Yes, it comes in multiple colors. However, I liked black the best and most understated. It was either this or paying about 250 bucks to get all rims redone including paint etc. and then watching them destroyed again in 2 days. This cost me only 164 bucks but am expecting it to last longer (its already more than a week ).

[Eisberg]

Bought 2 pairs of these from Amazon
Amazon Link
Just blue-light blockers, not prescription. One pair will stay at home, and the other pair will stay at work. I already got one of the pairs, and been using it at home. I love them, they are light weight and comfortable, even wearing my headphones they don't cause any pain where the frame are at getting pressure from the ear cups.

Going to also put in a mini-split to keep it cooled/warm? Not sure if you can just extend existing HVAC and not break code.

Code?

It's going to be pretty well insulated, only thing I'd do otherwise is a window unit and space heaters. Climate here is cool enough I'm not super worried about it.

Added to my Ryobi brushless collection this morning.



Also bought their foldable work light and several tarps to cover the materials I just had delivered for the shop build.

Well I've had these new components for a while but I finally paid someone to install them for me. I just can't be bothered to do it myself anymore:
Aorus Z590 Pro AX mobo
Intel i7 11700K
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)
Aorus GeForce RTX 3070
Corsair RM850 PSU
WD BLACK SN850 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 4.0 x4 3D NAND

And I'm still playing SWTOR after all that...

Just got home with it.

Went around the block.



So nice, so smooth. As nice as my Fatboy is this Farley is a step up for sure.
And should be from the $$$ difference. It's just not the components though, the geometry is a lot
better(for me anyways).

It's so pretty I don't even want to use it lol.

[CurrentlyPissed]

Sold my 2021 XLT F-150 to get a 2020 Civic Si because **** these fuel prices.

[acroig]

Very nice, love the color. Manual?

[CurrentlyPissed]

Yeah, thats the only way the Si's come. Manual, mechanical LSD, and adjustable dampening suspension. Actually quite fun to drive.

Im sure you missouri prices are better than my illnios ones. Every time I would go to st louis it was always like 50 cents cheaper. Our tax on gas here is rediculous.
