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?

Good info, thanks. I've certainly seen a few YT vids with people having issues with Expo, had hoped they would have been ironed out by now, but as you say not game ending stuff, just rather annoying I can imagine.

It's pretty dead for the main part, at least for discussions, but there does appear to have been an uptick in posts the past month or so.

"Manure, I hate manure!"

Maybe clean-up after the Enchantment Under the Sea dance?

Working for me in Windows 10 using a GTX 1660Ti om an aging Intel i5-3570 so anything from the last 10 years should be fine. My HDR monitor is running over Display Port rather than HDMI I should mention however.

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)

You may feel a little prick.

From 2011, I thnk this was on the original Samsung Galaxy (Can't find it only to confirm), the one with the "sticky out chin". This was my first true smartphone after having used a Blackberry Bold I think, before which I had a Blackberry Pearl, and before that Dell Axim alongside maybe a Nokia 6820? How far we've come!

Edit: I think this might actually have been from my HTC Hero... probably shortly before I move on to an HTC Desire or maybe even the Desire itself.

Edit 2: It must have been the Desire, resolution of 480x800 on the screenshot.

So a surprise attack is redundant?

A few years back I scanned a whole pile of photos from my childhood (I'm from 1974). My method was to scan the original negatives wherever possible on a flatbed scanner. Only scanning the actual prints where the negatives were lost or badly damaged. (Actually I still scanned those negatives just so I had them incase I ever wanted to try and digitally repair any scratches etc, either manually or via some automated /AI tool in the future.)
