500hz refresh rate would be valuable to have

If you're asking whether your parts are compatible, then it looks alright. If you haven't already, you should make a build in pcpartpicker.com and it'll tell you if there are any incompatibilities or if something is too big for your case. It should be absolutely fine for programming, 1080p gaming, or anything else.

Good for what? It depends on the games and video settings. Also is this something you're looking to buy or something you already have?

What 5070 Ti model did you spend another $120 for? IMO there's not enough of a difference between variants to justify that amount. If you include the option of getting a cheaper variant then that's a difference of $240. You could also try undervolting/overclocking, there are several guides online. The actual process itself is very easy, but you might have to run different games for awhile to ensure you have full stability. If your card is lucky, you could end up with a 10% performance boost. I'd also look at benchmarks for the games you play. I'm running a 5070 Ti and 7800x3D at 4K and I'm satisfied with the performance I get.

What did you end up getting? Got the $800 voucher and not sure what to go for.

What did you end up going for?

It's funny that they bring it up since you've been able to unlock the FPS on PC for awhile now

I noticed the black smearing on VAs, but I personally didn't really mind it.

Is there much of a performance boost with EXL2 vs fully-offloading to a GPU with GGUF?

The glare-free screen looks promising

It's for games that don't have DLSS framegen support.

What's your current monitor like? If you're on 60hz I think the jump to 144hz+ is much more noticeable. If you play any FPS games then it's even more of a no-brainer. As for performance, it really depends on what games you play and at what FPS. I'd look at some benchmarks online for the most demanding games you think you'd play, and see if the performance is adequate. Personally, I prefer high framerates > resolution > in-game settings in that order, and I'd rather play at medium settings 1440p than high settings 1080p if the framerate is the same. I also have a 3080 and can maintain 100 FPS+ at 4K for a lot of games no problem, turning it down to 1440p if I really have to. I tend to play slightly older games though so I'm not as pressed for performance. Also, it might be worth considering features like HDR, which I've grown to be a huge fan of for gaming + movies.

I never tried the benchmark for talos principle 2 but iirc I could usually get at least 60 fps with low/med settings + DLSS. What settings were you using?

How's your PC holding up? My friend has the same one and is thinking of upgrading his GPU as well

Did you end up doing a fresh install? How did it work out for you?

This can be true, but fortunately a lot of OLED monitors these days have presets/settings to raise blacks, so if you don't mind switching between presets when playing shooters, you get the best of both worlds.

Enter a URL in the top box and it'll save a snapshot of the website. Enter one in the bottom box and you can load a previous snapshot of the website, if anyone had made one in the past. If you're talking about all of the URLs that show up right after you archive a page, I think that just shows up while the site is in the process of downloading the webpage. After a few minutes the actual snapshot should show up.

Even better would be to archive their profile https://archive.is/

Any updates?

A lot of the discounted subscription services you find online for things like Steam, Netflix, discord, etc. usually involve some form of using Turkish/Argentinian payments. I know for steam at least some developers have to raise their prices in those regions past affordability due to the revenue loss, not sure for other services
