Confession: I haven’t actually seen a modern desktop GPU that was released in the last three years, up close and in person.

@killyourfm EXPLAIN!
-
@cupcakerob Iconic character from Transformers...
-
@killyourfm is it optimus prime?
-
@cupcakerob No, his name is Soundwave.
-
@killyourfm It has been a shock. I went from a triple fan 3070 to the 6900XT.
-
@OptiplexPrime wow! I had a 6800 XT and I don’t remember it being a chunky boy like that.
But yeah, GPU size is getting out of control

@killyourfm still running a 1080ti in my desktop. I’ve got a laptop with a 3070. I’ve yet to see one of the newer gpus in the wild either.

@baltmatrix 1080Ti is objectively one of the best GPUs ever designed.

@killyourfm Is that a new machine your testing for review or something? Or is it a primary machine of yours? What OS is it running too?

@micahbp I'm reviewing the new HP Omen 35L at Forbes. It has Windows on it now, but I'm planning to put a couple Linux distros on it as well.
-
@killyourfm that's a nice looking computer
-
@jlin It's way, way above the craftsmanship I would expect from a brand like HP. It looks and feels very premium. Even the cable management is immaculate. Very impressed so far!
(Less so by the bloatware included though -- McAfee, etc)
