Mine's on a surge protected power strip - just as much because I need to use a power strip to have enough outlets. But then, especially if you already have one, I wouldn't be risking my hard-earned (15 hours in the cold) 360 with the frequent surges and brown-outs we seem to have around here.

Congratulations, you've all made me really jealous and I'm going to have a fit like a little kid now :p

Haha kidding, some VERY nice setups, hopefully I can afford something somewhat close to one of these setups...of course by the time I finish my B.Sc. in computer science they'll have the PS5 or Xbox whatever on the market.

damn, i don't even know what to say after seeing so many awesome setups. so many gigantic tv's... me envious.

Okay I'm kinda embarrassed to post this since as you can see it's pretty messy, but I have an excuse just had a party last night =x (New Years Eve (Hapy New Years to everyone BTW)) Well no big screens here...a poor kids room. Note my breakfast....Friedchicken and a full throttle, 3 cans of Chunky Clam Chowder soup, a can on Pirouettes, and a Fresca...how unhealthy is that.. :D And the possible fire hazard to the left and behind the sub. Three full Surge Protectors.. =x

    • AMD 9070XT

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
