The first announcements are starting to come out of CES 2009, and ezGear has announced that they release their first Blu-ray Disc player, the BluCobra EZ3000. This BonusView Blu-ray player supports many of the same features as more expensive players, except at a much lower price. Besides supporting Blu-ray and DVD video formats, the player also supports SACD, a welcome addition for audiophiles.
Video is output at 1080p24, but 1080i, 720p, and 480i are also supported. The player can decode both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio lossless audio formats, and transmit the sound to your receiver by either the 7.1 analog or HDMI v1.3 outputs.
Avoid overspending on NVIDIA's 40 series GPUs, and purchase the powerful PNY GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Graphics Card at its lowest price ever!

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.
