How are people surviving with only 256GB of storage these days?...but can it run Portal?
huh? it says it requires 25GB of storage
My eyes are
, I been seeing 256 because I've looked at a lot of laptops lately
I can't see any serious gamer rocking 256GB storage today. I have 2.5TB and so far I'm good.
I got 2 1TBs in my laptop and desktop and I get anxiousI can't see any serious gamer rocking 256GB storage today. I have 2.5TB and so far I'm good.
. 12TB in my NAS though 
. I just need another Amazon sale to hit when nobody wants money from me and I'll probably pick up another 24.

I don't know shyt about NAS or server storage and don't have the need to store that much data. Dope that you got that rocking but I don't have that need. What are you storing that requires so much space?
Nothing really. I just got tired of carrying flash drives and externals back and forth. It makes it easier to keep copies of my resume in sync since I hop between devices regularly - that's the main thing I wanted. I'm also able to keep my music and shyt central as well. It gave me a chance to put a domain I bought to use, and I gave a shot at self hosting GitLab and a Bit Warden instance, although the GitLab instance was a headache and failed. Eventually I'll work on making it a media server as well.
Yessir. I play games with max settings with no problem. I cap most single player games at 60 FPS at 1440p and the card stays cool around 60 to 70. I got the MSI Machx2 card from newegg for 365 bucks last week before black friday week, so I saved even more below than what AMD cut with their prices.
I'm still working wit the kinks on FSR as I see a lot of new games including it in the settings now, but I just stick to quality since I can make games really pretty without a lot of heat, especially coming from my reference card.
Modern Warfare II, God of War, and Need for Speed Unbound looks great with this card.

*patiently waits for 7900 xtx to drop* 
But even if I could snag one next month (doubtful) I may just get one of those alienware QD-OLED monitors and just wait a bit more. It's hard playing games on an OLED TV then going back to a VA panel monitor.

Scalpers are struggling to sell the RTX 4080 above MSRP, but retailers won't let them return the cards
We're used to seeing graphics cards arrive with such high demand that they're quickly bought in bulk by scalpers and sold on auction sites at hugely inflated...

I bought a RX 6950 XT in the interim until the 7000 series release. I realized I didn't have a third PCI-E GPU cable for my PSU so I bought a set of cables from Microcenter. SIXTY bucks! I'll order one from Amazon and return this pack. Insane.
The card is great though. Plays MW2 on extreme settings at 115FPS ultrawide 1440P with hardly any drops.
