I have been using RNG as a substitute for cable for about two years now. I'm a big hockey fan and I was paying **** tons of money just to watch my team on TV. Now I get every NHL game with no blackouts for $12/month. Eat sh!t NHL and cable companies.

Oh and RNG original includes PPV too, so if you are a big combat sports fan like me, this pays for itself with one UFC PPV.
What package do you have? Can you stream through a smart TV? Or using a pc with a hdmi output?

Tires for my racecar.

It was only $50 off of all 4 but because we have to run these, and they are price controlled from the manufacturer, finding a deal is basically non-existent.

After being on EVGA's list for a new video card since February I finally got the message that it was my turn yesterday! Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.

My 2 watercooled 980ti's in SLI just were not cutting it anymore, especially as SLI support has basically been dropped from most games/programs.

I've been chasing these things for about a year, I even stood in line at bestbuy from 1-2am in the morning only for the people in front of the line to have their kids join them and push me back from the top 50 to #107, and they had 97 cards...
Then left to drive 8 hours to Colorado, still pissed from that one.

Holy shit that's a serious graphics card.
Yes it is, it costs nearly as much as the entirety of my last gaming build but I run 5-7 years on a GPU instead of upgrading every cycle. With a 3090 I can mine a bit of crypto for a few months and sell my 2 980ti for >$600 which will pay for the upgrade, and makes thak $2k price tag much more reasonable.
I love Flight Simulator and it was killing my 980ti's, as they were the bottleneck, even running scaled.

Wow, thanks for the info. I have been considering a gaming PC for a while and dumping console gaming. I'm going to run my Xbox Series X for a couple years and make the jump back to PC.
