Do you know what resolution that is? I can see that for 4k, maybe 1440p, but if that’s happening for 1080p games have gotten a lot worse than I realized.

I ran a 1070ti for quite a while (8GB), and recently upgraded to a 6700xt (12GB?). Running 1080p 144hz, I pretty much only use that extra vram when I run local LLMs or Stable Diffusion.

More is better, but having 8GB for the “entry level” cards is fine IMO. Better than the 3/4 of the entry in the 1000 series nvidia cards.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me having not followed AAA games graphical requirements super closely, but I feel like 8GB at $300 is a killer 1080p card these days?

Very true. Mostly just haven’t had the time. Also want to set up a little home server to play around with Proxmox and move Jellyfin off my main PC.

Yeah, DNS blocking is quite effective for not just ads, but also telemetry on Roku.

Personally, I use nextdns until I can can a good pihole setup going.

But now the college’s IT/security team doesn’t have to deal with that particular piece of spyware on their network, which is a step in the right direction.

What’s the reasoning behind needing username/password? I’m a bit nervous handing that out.
