Good with one hiccup

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD256BW
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD256BW

Pros: Great read and write speeds. Lowers my game load times and OS boot times by a huge margin

Cons: Samsung Magician has an annoying habit of causing some Steam games to minimize on launch and you can never get it to play after that unless you kill both programs and try again. They really need to fix that as there is no reason why it should do that.

Very very nice

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti XC3 ULTRA GAMING Video Card, 12G-P5-3955-KR, 12GB GDDR6X, iCX3 Cooling, ARGB LED, Metal Backplate

Pros: -EVGA Precision X software is nice and is the vehicle for firmware updates to the card itself. Also this is what allows you to adjust the fan and temp timings, stock is fine but tweaking it is better - can handle almost everything at ultra. Sometimes even with ray tracing on

Cons: - you really do need a good PSU for this. NVIDIA recommends 750w min but I would recommend overkill and at least gold rated for any possible spikes. Not much of a con, it states the requirement clearly

Overall Review: EVGA 3080 ti so far is doing everything I figured it could. Temps are also what I figured (stock ramps up the fans going to keep it around 80C, I use software to adjust the fan timings to keep it a bit cooler). Most everything is on ultra, even Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing on.

Great for gaming

Samsung QN55QN90AAFXZA 4K Neo QLED (2021)
Samsung QN55QN90AAFXZA 4K Neo QLED (2021)

Pros: -very bright -good hdr range -120 hz capable -low input lag with game mode on -qsymphony is a nice bit when paired with a Samsung soundbar

Cons: -does have a dirty screen effect but its so rare I am not deducting an egg for it -only one of the hdmi ports is 2.1

Overall Review: This is a very nice tv for gaming and even just watching stuff on Hulu. I only with they had made all the hdmi ports 2.1 instead of just one as that is required for 120hz at 4K with hdr

Pros: This card is working extremely well for just about anything I throw at it and it is running a lot cooler than my old 550ti I used to run.

Cons: None
