Yea it is quite annoying. The good news is that as long as you have at least a reasonable pci-e 3.0 Nvme SSD, you can use direct storage with really any GPU. Hell as btc keeps going down, maybe Chia won't even take off until the next boom since buying all these equipment costs money.

Tell that to my SATA SSD... When I got this SSD, I thought there's no need to get a better SSD when it's just the OS disk anyway (I upgraded my OS SSD from a smaller SSD and not an HDD). For games, I've been using an HDD since I got this PC, and now I want a really fast SSD for them instead of just getting something... And now we're at a point where games might actually start utilizing SSDs for gameplay purposes due to the new consoles. I suppose it'll take a while though, so it's OK, but I really did pick the worst time for upgrading my PC.

Yea I hear that. There are so many reasons to upgrade but thanks to outside influences, the prices of PC components have been terrible. The only way I was even able to get my PC was by having 3 different computers auto refreshing different sites every 10 seconds while having Discord notifications set to full volume. The moment that the Discord server notified me that a 3080 or 5950x was in stock, I was able to get them because I was already auto refreshing.

I have never in the history of PC gaming needed to do that. It's how bad the landscape really is. But sooner or later, it will equalize and that is when things will go back to normal. And when that happens, I think many people might spend extra to build a PC to last a console generation just in case.

Sad but true. At least this port is a lot better than Automata which is better than nothing I suppose...

I swear to god Yuri

We're gonna have them fix it and eat out cake too!

Time to go to war then!
