Well There's Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters and systemic failures, from a leftist perspective, with jokes.
The counter strike twitter has been pulling this shit for a while ever since source 2 rumors started picking up steam so I wouldn't get my hopes up
"The Pentagon only managed to account for 39 percent of its $3.5 trillion in assets."
They failed 5 audits in a row and got a $50 billion budget increase last time. So there's practically no accountability for US military spending.
I could go until the late afternoon without eating with the power of nicotine. I would say it's about the same as coffee but you can smoke more frequently than you can drink coffee (usually).
Nicotine feels great. It's why I still crave it after giving it up a while back. Everything else involved is horrible but there's a reason people get hooked to begin with.
Yeah, that is true. I forget about the extra features sometimes because I tend to prefer native res most of the time though I haven't tried the latest gen's implementations of frame generation/dynamic res.
I have no idea why some people found the 7800 XT to be anything but a cashgrab at its current price point tbh. Benchmarks are within spitting distance of each other depending on game and resolution so it's closer to like 3% at 1440p from what I saw. Yeah 500USD is closer to the going price for the 6800 XT these days.
It's a Corsair TX550M so just a regular gold. If you're just upgrading your GPU to a 6700 XT then you should be alright with a PSU from a reputable brand. I haven't played a lot of very demanding things yet because I only upgraded recently but I can get 100ish FPS on Borderlands 3 with settings around medium-high and about 100 on Counter Strike 2 (but it's in beta and not utilizing resources fully on my machine at the moment).
Since you seem to prefer gaming at higher settings, you're most likely gonna be GPU bound in most titles unless you're into stuff like CSGO or big sim games.
But it comes down to whether a 6700 XT is enough or if 6800 XT + PSU upgrade (and possibly a CPU upgrade down the line) is the better choice for you. The performance gap between the two is sizeable at around 40% at 1440p ultra (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html).
Either is a fine choice in my opinion but it just depends on how much you want to budget for the upgrade. A 750W + 6800 XT should leave room for a future 5800X3D upgrade if they drop further in price.
For what it's worth I have a 2600 and a 6700 XT on a 550W PSU on 1440p 144Hz coincidentally and it does alright but I don't play super new games or max out settings. Not ideal but good enough for me.
Your current PSU is important for figuring out if you need to upgrade. Maybe consider a Ryzen 5800X3D (if your motherboard supports it with a BIOS update) and a 6800 XT because I don't think the 2600 is gonna be pushing 100+ frames at 1440p in most newer titles (of course it depends on the title and settings). I don't think the 7800 XT makes much sense over the 6800 XT at that price.
Bought it recently and no complaints. Feels as responsive as the TN 144Hz panel I had and colors look good to me at least.
