new corsair iCue update but shyt still messy. get it together

mouse n keyboard finally stable but might have to go with Logitech or razor for that headset. they fukkin up. good hardware, trash software.

I've been hating iCue since I got my keyboard and mouse. The keyboard and mouse is good, but Corsair gotta get it together when it comes to software because iCue can be an resource hog just like any chromium browsers, sometimes worst.

im looking for a i7 laptop, is there a brand that is clearly better then any other?

price range up to $2000

If you're interested in purchasing a laptop. Id definitely recommend AMD Ryzens 5000 cpus over the latest intel i7.

I forgot to mention that I finally got an GPU, an 3070 Ti, but I was willing to take an L due to having to pay more (StockX).

Nvidia, what's crazy is the 3070 cards were more expensive than the 3070 Ti. Same goes for the 3080 when comparing the 3080 Ti.

Value. Even though the 3070 is weaker than the 3070 Ti, it's more affordable. It's the same reason why there were more people with 1070 over the 1070 Ti, ironically, the same can't be said about the 2070 and 2070 Super due to the latter price matching the former.

EDIT:
The pricing is still very weird due to the sellers, if, say you were going after AMD cards then you might be fine, but with Nvidia, it's an mess. Then again, with people mostly going after Nvidia cards, sellers are going to charge high prices due to high demand.

so it sounds like because the non Ti's are in higher demand, the scalpers goin for higher markup on the 3070/80s cuz they know most aint even lookin for the Ti's

The ti was engineered to be more restricted towards mining crypto currency. That's why the older 3070 and 3080s hold their value. Newer 3080 models that have the 'lhr' (lite hash rate) next to it aren't as valuable to miners.

ight, that makes more sense.
the 3060Ti's restrictions were cracked i believe. only a matter of time for the other ones

You can't mine crypto with them because Nvidia put some kind of way to nerf it if used by mining

so the non ti cards are get higher hash rate for mining crypto currencies
