  • At my age with my eyesight a little up-scaling is fine, especially as I’ve been having to spend the past few years playing newer games at half resolution sometimes to get decent frame-rates on the 1660 ;) I’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for any price drops when the next series of cards come out. Hoping this build will be one I can tinker with better parts as the prices drop in the future.


  • The 7600 vs 7600X here in Denmark is only a 100 DKK difference, (About $14) so I figured, what the hell :)

    Good point, the one i have flagged right now is CL36 so I’ll have a look into the options there.

    Yeah, I was thinking of going full AMD as I haven’t for a long time, and nVidia are a little, shall we say, consumer unfriendly… but like you say I’m not sure how well that will play with the AI stuff. I actually looked at getting a second hand 3060 just to save money so I could replace it sooner in the future but not a huge number of them out there locally, especially as I’m on a small island which further limits that route.

    Just realised I never listed my monitor resolution, but I think either option will be good enough for 1440P?

  • I had the same issue with NVMe, but you can get 4x PCI-E cards to install them on. Wouldn’t work as a boot drive but it’s great for a games installation space. Just check installing another card doesn’t drop your GFX from the 16x. My old ASUS Gene V had two 16x style slots and an extra 4x so I could manage to add one card without dropping the GFX to 8x.

    My XBOX has the internal 1TB then 4TB of USB3 storage for 360/XBOX One games (or Series games I’m not currently playing). Main PC is 500GB SSD Raid 0 System drive, 1TB NVMe data drive and a 6TB HDD Storage Space. Then my NAS has 20TB (RAID 5) of space for everything else. (Including a full set of install files of any games I bought via GoG since you can keep their DRM free install files just in case GoG suddenly disappear)


  • Podcast wise: Rebel FM, though after all these years it’s more just to catch up with them than the actual talking points, but always enjoyable.

    For deep dives into specific games Cane & Rinse (full disclosure I have met and consider friends some of the guys involved).

    For Indie Games, The Sausage Factory by Chris O’Regan, which these days is hosted by Cane And Rinse is a great way to hear directly from the game devs themselves.
