" CONCLUSION
You can consider this controller if you are in budget . It's better than Cosmic byte blitz in any aspect but Blitz has better(1000hz) polling rate and Blitz has hall sense triggers+ joystick witha peice tag of 2099₹ but Evofox one s 3 only has hall sense joysticks and 125hz polling rate. Price 1599₹ to 1299₹
I'm happy with that controller as I'm div 2 in E football and have a KD above 4 in Warzone Resurgence. I used it's wireless mode most of the time.

I wonder how server has insane ram slots
grizzled frost
wdym “how”, the cpu has more memory channels, that’s how
they’re different cpu platforms, and thus support different things than consumer platforms
pure trellis
I wonder how server has insane ram slots
Memory channels is just cooper lines to CPU,so it's not that complicated system
That fan on top left,lol

i mean it gets a lot more complicated for the cpu itself, since you need a more complex memory controller, but that’s beyond the scope of this channel
if you wanna learn more about memory controller, go read the documentation

Thinking about switching from dual 27” monitors to a 49”(ish) ultrawide and looking for some advice. My current setup is dual 27”s on a dual arm. I use the main monitor for games or main tasks, and the secondary monitor for Discord, YouTube, or reference apps like music production. My main gripe is that I don’t have a true center screen. both monitors are angled, so I have to look left or right instead of straight ahead.
I’m curious how gaming works on a 49” ultrawide. For games like OW, CoD, or Fortnite, do people usually play on the full width or just part of the screen? Is it easy to keep a second app like Discord or YouTube open while gaming? Does the width or curvature have any drawbacks?

Hallo Wormm 
ionic atlas
tho this actually caused issues with programs that was windowsed fullscreen
because, the taskbar always wanted to be on top
I remember in our software at work, we had to add a every 30 sec, it checks if it's in fullscreen, that the window is always on top, and reapply
and the alternative was for the user to auto-hide

If it can work in theory, and drivers start harassing each other, I would just remove 3070 and be sad, but wondering even theoretically what are the odds of them just behaving

I heard by 850w can handle a 9070xt + 2060s, though the 2060s has a different TDP
Btw which 9070XT are you getting
If it's one that uses 12-2x6, do NOT use the converter
true stirrup
9070xt is like 300W
3070 is like 220W
So together it's 520W which leaves 330 for the CPU which it won't ever use
Also the 3070 will never run at full power if it's the second GPU
So 850W is more than enough

Ye that's what I meant
rotund bramble
My logic is that the 3070 wouldn't do anything basically, or at least nothing demanding, so theoretically both of them spiking or even being under meaningful load should never happen
true stirrup
9070xt - worst case scenario 380W
3070 - 220W but it will never go full load as second GPU
9800x3D - 150W
=750W
You are fine

transient spikes aren't really all that notable though, they aren't relavent to the power limit or PSU capacity required
