alteyez on 15% off Eligible Items, 17% off for eBay Plus Members (Max Discount $300) @ eBay

I wasn't necessarily blaming the sellers - I was commenting on eBay. They can't expect sellers to take a hit on price if their (the…

Shaolinking on [Prime] AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D Desktop Processor $541.76 Shipped @ Amazon US via AU

The V-cache chips all tend to improve the low 1% frame rates, so yes it'll be better than a non-X3D chip, but the 7800X3D will outperform…
