Unsavory Flash Swap: Re-Testing Crucial’s P2 SSD After QLC Downgrade

https://www.tomshardware.com/features/crucial-p2-ssd-qlc-flash-swap-downgrade

I actually ordered the Crucial P2 not long ago and returned it after the dubious potential of having NAND swapped out... Full refund, went with the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB instead. No regrets.

Absolutely frustrating how manufacturers do this... I used to swear by Crucial for price/performance reasons.

@Captain_Yuri Definitely, since there is no sub $250 GPU's and 400 for lower end/mid range offerings from either Nvidia and AMD. If Intel goes in aggressive they could potentially shake things up and deliver the product that the mainstream gamers want - a GTX 1060/1070 of this gen. Of course that all depends on how good the cards perform and how well they are priced.

I have a Ryzen 9 5900X, 64GB DDR4 3600mhz memory... And a Radeon RX 430 2GB.
At least it's one of the fastest PC's with a Radeon RX 430 (Rebadged Radeon 240.) though if 3D Mark 11 says anything.

To say the current state of GPU's is bullshit is putting it mildly.
I was hoping the Radeon RX 6600 was going to introduce a glut of supply into the marketplace and hopefully bring down pricing across the board, but it seems even those are above MSRP and selling out.
