Is this surprising? You can find smokin deals on 5000X3D's and 7000X3D's which are beating the 9000 series in gaming. It's a "wait and see" thing on the 9000X3D's. But for what they are asking for 9000 series CPU's now, and how expensive the new chipset mobo's are, it doesn't make sense.

Welp. Some no name keyboardist from an 80's band that virtually no one has ever heard of, is now out $7500, for a song that probably no one knows about.

For pure gaming they do ok, usually trading blows with Nvidia's second highest tier GPU's, for less money. But that's strictly rasterization. AMD lacks in ray tracing. They also lack in encoder performance. And if I'm spending that kind of money I want a card that isn't gimped in some way. So...

Let me ask you something. Is there a noticeable difference in quality between a 4K BR disc and the highest quality linux distro? And there is literally zero benefit to getting a faster PS5 or Xbox when the games you play on them are already maxed out graphically.

There are plenty of videos on the tube showing the quality differences in the mics I mentioned versus gaming headsets.

No. Definitely not wirelessly. The limitation is exactly that. In a wireless platform there simply is not enough room to fit a decent DAC and amp, along with all the other electronics that make it wireless, for it to be good. You can add a ModMic or Antlion mic to any headphones though. Or a...

It was a toss up between the TCL and Hisense. Went with the Hisense due to it being on sale and cheaper at the time we purchased. Rtings has those two trading blows on everything, can't really go wrong with either TV.

I recently bought the Hisense 85" U8N with mini-LED and 2200 dimming zones. TV is phenomenal. Barely puts off any heat.

No reason to do a headset deep dive. They're all equally garbage in terms of fidelity and quality. The fidelity can be summed up by the extremely small discrete DAC's and amp's they put in them. They can put the best speakers and magnets on the planet inside these headsets and they'll still...

At the very least they could mention a price. That being said I've never been impressed with any "gaming headset" regardless of the features and specs.

Oh yeah, baby!

Yeah I don't see this staying up very long.

I'm going to wait for the Super Ultra Mega Supreme Extreme version.

I just think about in the context that this Acer monitor is being touted as the best new display for gaming. It's 24" 1080P at 600 hz. That's just dogpoop considering we had those displays 15 years ago. And not only that, but the picture was worlds better and brighter than these TN panels. I...

I've always wondered why they don't make plasma gaming monitors. They were 600 hz back in the late 00's.

It's been shown numerous times that game load times are not really effected by disk speed beyond a point. I think it was GN that tested it with gen 3 and 4 drives. The load times were identical, within margin of error in testing. You're basically limited at the OS layer and game engine's ability...

Pretty soon we'll need dedicated 30 amp service to run a gaming PC.

Data is useless without also seeing clocks, temps, GPU used.

First GPU I bought in 1996 was a Diamond Stealth 3D 3000, which was S3 Virge based. It was ok at the time, but lacked OGL support. I remember upgrading, maybe a year or so later, to an ATi Rage Pro, just to play Quake. Was running it on a Pentium Pro 166. I got stupid lucky by finding that PC...

Win 11 is so good that M$ hasn't moved their server OS to it yet.
