#

okay

limber shale
#

even putting it in a pcie 3 slot wouldnt be that big of a deal

#

doe the cpus that support pcie 3 would probably bottle neck it

dreamy robin
#

yes im running a 5600x im thinking of upgrading my gpu

limber shale
#

yep its gonna be fine dw

#

which gpu you looking at?

dreamy robin
#

not sure yet

#

trying to figure out would be a performance improvment over a 3070ti

limber shale
#

9070 xt

lethal bay
#

What’s your target resolution and refresh rate?

limber shale
#

ngl mine is atleast tripple the performance to be worth it

#

but thats for me personally

#

a 9070xt would be great for you imho

dreamy robin
#

im at 1440p and trying to hit 180fps

#

My next gpu upgrade will solely depend on how hard GTA 6 is to run KEKW

mine is probably going to be a 6090/7090

Got a new psu today and the blue component seems to be bent and one of them is touching the copper coils. Is that alright?

a gimmick pretty much imo, you can set your custom actuation point, when your switch resets like for example just slightly lifting your key and it resets, set what a key does based on how hard you press it, etc.

i am removing macOS from it in early 2027 because Apple releases OS in fall, then requires the Xcode in that macOS next April. My MBP will still get Tahoe, so that means Xcode in it will be required in April 2026, and next Xcode which my MBP will not get will be required in April 2027

The only issue i have about macbooks is the displays

@robust trail do you think i should shoot for a higher spec, or just stick with the original plan, and buy a base model 14” mbp

I can get behind that, I’d say in the laptop department that’s where Apple shines
