EVGA 970 SSC

Man I miss EVGA. Did the upgrade to a 980 Ti when it got launched soon after.

First discreet graphics card was a GT755M really got me into gaming.

People with shattered phone screens.

Pretty much anyone with a broken phone screen are just chaos moving around.

Invaluable as a photographer. I think it’s closed source though which is a shame.

Same I use it so much. Really fun to fill in info

Could I recommend changing the HDD to an SSD?

Really helps the snappiness of the computer.

I have a lot of SSDs at home and I wouldn’t mind shipping one to y’all since I also live in Germany

Really simple

If you want to stay in Germany and hop across the border, Strasbourg and Colmar are both nice towns. Has German influence but you get the benefits of being near the black forest for a 2 for 1 trip.

I’m very very lazy. Id rather have the OEM supply their own model than to get a 3rd party.

Then again I’m one of those heathens who pay for OEM camera batteries rather than wasabi power (which are amazing in their own right)

I often skip first gens hence why I got a 12th gen and then upgraded it to a 7040 series. Super happy with the battery life and performance.

I may have missed it, but as of now, framework doesn’t offer the controller board by itself just yet.

Knowing them, it’s probably not too far away.

You can upgrade literally everything on it.

They just released a new high refresh rate screen for the 13 inch. I’m seeing if it’s worth buying.

Wonder if the old display can be used as a portable monitor? I would assume so.

I got an Intel 12th Gen laptop but wanted an AMD 7040 gen CPU. I was going to live overseas for a while so shipping laptops via air is questionable.

So I bought the 12th gen and then a year later upgraded the main board. No issues other than VeraCrypt being annoyed.

You can call me a shill,

But I just get an Anker Prime 27,650mAh battery bank because it supports 140w PD.

Lasts my wife and myself a 4 hours flight with maybe 30% left over.

I got it because it can charge my laptop as well.

Steam deck is 40Whr and the battery is nearly 100Whr.

So you’ll get 2.5 times longer playing time with it.
