A Lot has happened in the last year. New games. 1851 has matured. Arrow's gotten some performance improvements, plus more APO titles added. Amazon has the 285K shipped and sold by back in stock for $430 with 10% back on Amazon cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFKC99VL/?tag=thefpsreview-20

That was one of my favorite cards. Gave it to my son when I upgraded. I have a retail boxed EVGA GTX 650 just so I can keep a part of PC gaming history that gives me warm feels. I have not seen any deals worth posting about, that someone here has not already linked. Been some hot deals on used...

Case in question - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGXQL5T9/?tag=thefpsreview-20

Depends on the games my friend. Turn up graphics settings in many modern titles and you place more load on the CPU, not less. When the CPU can't keep up, your are cooked. Aussie Steve tested it in a video the last week or 2. I would rather use upscaling and optimize graphics settings for the...

My hypothesis is it is due to students getting out for summer break. Very few year round schools in the U.S.? Free time = a lot more gaming. Deals I got aren't bad, but certainly not something people used to get trampled over. :p

Have to agree. Prime Day had better prices than anything I have seen so far this month on most desirable PC components.

Did not pick up anything on this list. Did get BF pricing on Asus ROG STRIX B550F GAMING AX II and be quiet! Pure Based 501 from Amazon, to finish off a Bazzite Steam Machine. As the rest of the parts for the build were collecting dust.

Amazon U.S. must have decided arrow is not selling well enough to be worth procuring anymore. Not in stock shipped and sold by, and the SKUs sales positions are sad trombone noises. Alder is easily outselling arrow, but still can't crack top 10. Arrow is doing much better at Newegg with the 265K...

Both our launch era 360s had the RROD. MS had streamlined the process by then and taken the 1 billion plus write off, so it was a fast and easy process at least. Gave us a newer version with HDMI each time. Those both eventually failed. I knocked one off the AV shelf trying to unplug it right...

@sdifox - The Amiga scene is somehow still alive, so there's that.

What did those cost again? ;)

Like most consumer devices planned obsolescence is part of the strategy. You are expected to replace it not upgrade it. I use one to sweat in, one to watch media. Ain't no dust collecting. My OG's battery is dying, I need to hunt down a compatible battery pack headband like I have for the Q2...

What happened next will shock you! :p Worldwide shipments surpassed 50 million units for 2021-22 alone. Pandemic made VR explode in popularity and sales. The install base is over 100 million at present. Valve hopefully has learned from their experience. They only sold about 400K units of the...

It's always something going back to the first crypto boom. I buy parts any time there is a killer deal. DDR5 is the only component I am not well stocked up on. Only have one board that takes it and it's no big deal if I have to use one of my 5800X3D systems while I RMA. When I see people...

Highly recommended. It looks and plays better than ever. My son and I spent a bunch of time in RDR back in the 360 era. It's lost none of its magic. Sometimes I just sit down and play liar's dice or poker for and hour or so. Or hunt wolves with a knife, to see if I can survive an entire pack...

Wait guyz, I got this. Laptop = kid Xmas gift GPU = Personal Xmas gift HDD = Aye! Me hearties!

Don't forget AM4 was out before Zen. It started in 2016 with the absolutely terrible Bristol Ridge. Mostly OEM/ODM garbage tier stuff. That has to be where the 1 gen support was? I've never even heard of it before. In 2017 I bought an ASRock X370 board that I sold to @igor_kavinski a couple...

Ignoring the personal attack, let's break this down. The reason Intel had great sales in the past without longevity, is there was no viable alternative. DIYers were conditioned to tick tock. As AM3+ hadn't had a performance boost since Vishera in 2012 and it was getting starched worse and worse...

I don't know anything about the Exodus books. But I was just reading the prologue and I like the writing so far. Reminds me a bit of some of the forgotten realms I've read in the past. Hopefully with the talent they have, they can make UE5 a good experience.

Hopefully those workers will continue going indie and turning out more games like Expedition 33, Stray, Holo Knight, Hades, Stardew Valley, etc. The hallucination is someone buying an Xbox in late 2025 :p That's the opinion of my kid, a software engineer. Finished getting all of his degrees...
