Like I had money sitting aside for this for a while, finally ordered it, it arrives Friday evening and I am HYPED. Sit down, install drivers, open up a game and then somehow end up in MSI Afterburner for 6 hours.

Spent the whole Saturday running 3DMark, tweaking fan curves, undervolting, re-running 3DMark, watching temps in HWinfo, testing VRAM usage in different games I don't even play, comparing my scores to other people's on reddit.

Sunday I told myself ok today I actually game. Ended up spending 3 hours comparing DLSS vs FSR vs native in 4 different titles and took notes. Actual gaming time that weekend: maybe 45 minutes.

The card is incredible by the way. I think. I haven't really played anything on it properly yet.
