Why choose one monitor for your new workspace when you can have two! While we typically favour the larger gaming monitors here at eTeknix, because theyre a lot of fun in so many ways, this new bundle from piXL really caught our attention.

OCC: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE Review

Today we will be taking a detailed look at NVIDIA's latest product launch under the Ampere architecture umbrella. Following the lead to a less than a year old RTX 3070, comes the Ti model touting a few small changes that when combined together increase the raw performance and gives it the SUPER title. Err I mean Ti. The same thing right? By enabling two more SMs, the full GA104 GPU is available along with a switch to GDDR6X memory providing more bandwidth over its predecessor. This GPU is positioned as a direct replacement of RTX 2070 SUPER, which was the mid-range of the Turing architecture due to having a similar MSRP. Though you and I both know getting anything at MSRP in 2021 is questionable due to market demands and mass shortages.
