not sure if it qualifies as "tech", but it's certainly "technic"

This is the eight most expensive thing I've ever bought at ~€300. "Fyndvara" in this case means it was opened, hence the lower price. Not a bad price, considering I've seen old GTX1080 cards go for as much. It is also slightly faster than the Radeon HD 7850, and should last me for years and years.

So that's a serial card? No media? I'd expect at least an SD card with the install files.

yes indeed Epic code on a serial card ...

i don't minde pure digital, usually my experience with game with media : install from DVD's launch : additional content DL 20 to 60gb day 2 patch 7gb
well i also uninstalled Troy: a Total War Saga ... because it had a 7gb patch/update every 2 days ... it's annoying when launching a launcher (rofl ...) and getting bandwidth hog like that

This Xiaomi thing.
Bought it cause my internet supplier's router is bad, this is on par or worse.
At least the 2.4G network is bad, it requires a smartphone to configure properly, spent an hour configuring a TP-Link access point only for it to get shit signal and giving me like 5Mb\s or something.

Only have it for a couple hours and I feel like returning it...

I do. If I'm paying extra for a physical copy, it damn well better have discs or a memory card with the install files on it.

install from DVD's launch : additional content DL 20 to 60gb day 2 patch 7gb

Good point, however, most games are at least playable from release.

You should return it. Go for Netgear or Asus when it comes to routers and ideally only models supported by the Voxel or Merlin firmwares.

Buy their phones or laptops(i've heard they are decent) if you're buying from that brand.

fair point, well in my case : i wanted the box and for 64.90chf less than pure digital without box directly from STEAM or Epic it's a steal (of physical media ) if it was not 5chf i would have complained just like you

at least they did a slim box, unlike BFV, SW:BFII and SW:JFO which are standard boxes with CD/DVD holder and a page with the code (BUT I GOT ALL 3 BOXES for less than the price of one of them at launch)

as for the playable at release ... yeah after the additional download in my case ...

Phones are great, got one for 4 years, still kicking...
Xiaomi is generally a good value chinese brand, but they failed me this time...

Unbelievable how addicted we have became to RGB.

Unbelievable how addicted we have became to RGB.

We all have a Christmas tree for the whole year

Unbelievable how addicted we have became to RGB.

not addicted ... RGB is a solution hot a hype or a fade ... usually peoples that have RGB in their setups, preferably of my age and mindset, use them to have one unified color for the whole setup and be able to change to another single color later without having to rebuy the whole setup ...

am i addicted to RGB? nope ... my keyboard can do a "sine wave rainbow puke MLP FIM medley" among everything he can do (alongside being able to be used to type on it ) but it's set on white (RGBW in that case ) i regret taking NZXT ledstrips, Corsairs ML and Tt Riing in white for the inside of my case? nope not really ... i am fond of white ... but i took my keyboard RGB and my spare mouse also in RGB for white because they are rare in fixed white backlight, thus RGB is a solution and hating it is not the solution (not aiming at anyone ofc )

my Arion ext SSD is an exception ... can't control the RGB rotation on it without a Asus mobo ... but i took it for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed and not for the lightning

We all have a Christmas tree for the whole year

well ... that's one option too, i have to confess i love the "sine wave rainbow puke MLP FIM medley" sometime ... it's fun to make hater go away from my computer ...

Will be selling off my Nitro+ RX 6800, it's been superseded by its bigber sibling, a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900 XT

Don't let the angle of the pic fool you, the cards are exactly the same size and thickness....in case you're wondering, the RX 6800 is at the front, the 6900 XT is at the back

Installed in my rig already...

I hate RBG honestly but now a days it’s hard finding non RGB parts. Almost every cooler I looked at had RGB

 

[Jetster]

Never like RGB, and there are no non RGB boards except for server boards. I would rather have a few more fan headers
