Alexander Moore67 said:Any i5 paired with a B760 board should handle a 6800XT just fine—especially if you're running at 1440p.
Yeah, we're talking about 13th gen processors here, so you really shouldn't run into any bottlenecks regardless of which GPU you decide to go with..
@Davero, if you were looking at stepping up to a beefier card like the RX 6800, that thing pulls about 330W under full load. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably aim for a 750W or even an 850W power supply? It’s always better to have that extra breathing room rather than pushing your PSU to its limit... I was just checking prices, and it looks like 850W units start around $160..
Hey, send over the link for that power supply. Honestly, when you're looking at a PSU, the main thing is checking what it delivers on the 12V rail—the more juice there, the better, though obviously, that comes with a higher price tag. I'm not saying you need to drop $100 on a unit right now, but you really shouldn't cut corners here. It all depends on your setup—if you grab a 1000W beast but your PC only pulls 200W, well, that's just overkill, right?
So, which GPU are you planning to pick up?
Personally, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably go with this one:
It's solid and reliable... and again, I can't stress it enough: the power supply holds every single component together. You never want to be cheap when it comes to your PSU..
Between the RTX 4070 and the Radeon RX 6800, which one would you recommend if I want something that stays relevant for as long as possible? Honestly, maybe even the RX 6950 XT—I’ve noticed the prices are all hovering around the same range lately...
I'm running a Wide 1440 p monitor.
Thanks in advance!
Go with the RTX 4070. Where did you even find an RX 6800? That card is already two and a half years old—it can't even touch a newer card like the RTX 4070.
Ever since I started working in Information Technology, I’ve kind of neglected my own hardware setup—it should probably be the other way around, right? 🙄
From what I can see, those new RTX 4000 series cards are starting to drop. I’m currently rocking an NVIDIA RTX 2070 super, and I’d love to sell it while I still have about 8 months left on the warranty to pick up one of the newer models... though I'm guessing prices for these GPUs are going to be pretty steep.
A decent jump would likely be moving up to an NVIDIA RTX 4070..
If anyone could share some more details or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! 🙂
It feels like society today is pretty much all or nothing—you’re either in or you're out. There just doesn't seem to be any middle ground left, does there?
It’s actually pretty likely you ran that backup in legacy mode—which is probably why it’s giving you nothing else to work with. If being on UEFI is a dealbreaker for you, your best bet is to just move your files over, wipe the SSD, and do a clean install of macOS. Honestly, I doubt there's any way to force a switch back to UEFI once you're already inside macOS...
That stuff you find on eBay is really more for home users than for actual businesses... I’d honestly suggest grabbing a retail key instead. Sure, they cost an arm and a leg—it feels like you're paying for pure gold—but at least you get the sticker and a proper receipt to show if an auditor ever actually shows up. Isn't it better to pay upfront than to deal with a massive fine from the IRS later?
Thanks so much for the detailed breakdown—I think I'll head down to the local branch one day soon to ask some more questions in person and get the full scoop 🙂

Thanks so much for getting back to me... I'm mostly just doing some research online to see what's out there. I was wondering, is it possible to get a loan with a 10-year term if I were looking to borrow somewhere in the $20,000 to $25,000 range? My only "issue" is that I work for a company in the gambling industry—it's a massive corporation, though, so they're incredibly stable and basically recession-proof. But, even though I've been receiving my paycheck at Wells Fargo for two and a half years now, they won't offer me anything decent because they flag my employer as "high risk." They told me if I wanted to pull even $1,000, I'd need a co-signer. That's why I'm hunting for a different bank for this loan... I wouldn't even be looking for credit cards or anything else, just the loan.
Hey everyone—has anyone here ever taken out a loan in the $15,000 to $18,000 range from them? I’m curious about what the actual terms look like. I need to pull some funds together for a new car... and honestly, I was hoping to stretch the term out over as many years as possible just to keep my monthly payments manageable. Any insights?
Look, there isn't much to it—everyone's home right now, so I'm noticing way more uploads than usual and it feels like the YouTube servers are getting slammed. If you're in such a rush to get that video up, why not just leave it to upload overnight?
So, have you actually tried checking your upload speeds on something like Speedtest? Or maybe try another site entirely—it’s possible the issue is just localized to YouTube.
Maybe try heading into your BIOS and disabling the integrated mobile graphics entirely—that way you're just relying on your dedicated card all the time. Or, you could try using this tool: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details...-download.html—to help out. Another idea would be to boot into Safe Mode, uninstall your current drivers, and then do a clean install of the latest ones. By the way, which version of macOS are you running? If you're on the latest 20H2 release, my best advice is to always make sure you've got the most recent updates installed.

I actually just gave it a little test run myself—typed in Eminem and it found a track instantly 😁 anyway, if you want to grab music, try this: https://www.mp3juices.cc/ it finds whatever you're looking for in literally a second.
Building on what my colleague mentioned above—they’ve completely overhauled the layout and the entire interface. It actually has nothing to do with which browser you're using... so, you'll either have to get used to the new look or, if you really hate it, just do what you suggested and delete your Facebook account.
