Will the GTX 1660 stand up to newer GPUs? Not exactly. Is it solid? Definitely!
The GTX 1660 and it's siblings still has driver support from NVidia and looks to for a bit longer yet. Can it go toe to toe with a newer GPU retailing at the same price? Yeah, about that. It's still a great card though and hits 60FPS quite easily in Triple A titles. #gtx1660 #A750 #nvidia

What started out as taking a look at how one game played on #Minimum Specs turned into a bit of a comparison video. I look at #Halo infinite and #Battlefield 2042, to see which one, if either will allow you to play on the minimum specs listed by the developer.

Danny DD needs a new NVMe and the laptop from a few videos back needs an SSD and a new back cover. Probably not compelling, but its one of those things that helps explain why it may take me longer sometimes posting videos.

Today we learn about diminishing returns. We have made a few upgrades to the Small Form Factor Dell Optiplex over the past several months, but when is an upgrade not an upgrade? I'll give you one hint what might cause a problem, its initials are GPU.

Unboxing, review of the #Nexigo , and comparison with a previously reviewed #Ausdom webcam and comparison to a budget #4k camera.
We take a look at the Nexigo N660P and how it compares to the Ausdom AF640 and a budget friendly 4k camcorder, the AiTechney 4K.
I believe it was Low Dough Tech that talked about the light balance. His video is here:
https://odysee.com/@lowdoughtech:3/nexigo-1080p-60fps-webcam-review:d
Unfortunately its back up to the retail price, but still a good deal. $64.99

It becomes obvious that I have to practice MotherBoard reviews. The #Aorus #Elite #X570 WiFi Motherboard seems to be a pretty good board, and if I can ever get my act together I will be able to confirm that.

Since moving into the new house I haven't had much of a chance to enjoy a lot of gaming. Actually, I haven't gotten to enjoy a lot of use out of anything in the living room. Today I try to fix that with by #Playstation, #Xbox, and my #Gaming PC all getting added to the mix with my 50" Samsung TV and my Sony sound bar.

For my most recent build I chose a DeepCool tower cooler to go with the theme of the case, and have been quite happy. Then I started putting in some longer gaming sessions and realized a drawback of the tower style cooler. It was blowing all of that warm air from the CPU right in my face. #DeepCool #Corsair #cooler
