  • I am very happy with it. I did switch from Kubuntu to Manjaro KDE, but that was not because of the GPU. The only thing that bothers me is that the fans can be noisy during some games at high load. But during everyday desktop use the fans are idle since its passive cooling capabilities are good (I have one from Powercolor, so any other brand may be different on this point). For me, the temp stays at <40°C for normal desktop use. I haven’t seen it go over 83 during gaming. You can adjust the fan curve with Corectl and even overclock it (I haven’t) if you want; but everything else just works without additional drivers/software. Now, I don’t play heavy fps games, but the games I do play are lag/stutter free. My most taxing game atm is Cities Skylines 2 and I get a solid 60fps with that and my heavily modded Minecraft runs smooth as butter. All in all, I think the card gives excellent value for money.



  • I debated whether or not I should respond to your reply for a few hours now. I just want to point out that everyone is different and have their own circumstances. I recognise you do not know me and know nothing of my circumstances. Mainly because I didn’t divulge them because I thought they be irrelevant. But I have a disability which makes it difficult for me to go outside and impossible to travel. My life takes place 90% at home. And while I am mobile and can do other things besides sitting behind a computer, it is my main “escape” from my situation (besides tv, books, etc.) And I am also ashamed to admit I do not have a “shitty wage job” but a “shitty disability income”.





  • While I agree with you it would -for me- still depend on how the process works. Suppose the new copy needs to be compared with the original after being constituted for safety reasons. So the original doesn’t get destroyed before the copy is created. So for an instant there will be 2 ‘yous’. That makes jt less desirable for me. Now suppose the verification time -either due to technical or administrative purposes- takes minutes or hours? At that point I would not step into a transporter.
