Alexander Moore67 said:I'm really torn on whether a single 3080 is actually worth more for pure gaming $3.25 than an 6800XT, or if Nvidia is just being incredibly shameless with their pricing during this whole shortage!!!


Look, Nvidia isn't the one calling the shots on the final price tag here.🤣

If you grab that combo from ADM—you know, the one with the Intel Core i5-7600K, an MSI B450 motherboard, and 16GB of 3200MHz RAM—it'll set you back $933, which leaves you with exactly $733 left over to hunt down a decent GPU

A budget?
Just grab the Threadripper 2990WX

If you see this, grab it immediately before someone else does.

It's an IPS 144hz panel,
plus it supports freesync/gsync.

He doesn't necessarily need a beefier GPU if he picks up a monitor with FreeSync support. Personally, I'm running a 1080p 144Hz setup paired with a GTX 1060 3GB, and since almost everything I play falls within that FreeSync range of 55-144Hz, I don't deal with any stuttering or weird hiccups at all. It honestly feels 🙂
just like I'm playing at a native 144Hz.

Look, we aren't even talking about the same league here. If you're actually choosing, just grab the RTX 2060 without a second thought. And honestly, don't even get me started on those AMD drivers.

It says they’re meant for Windows 7, but honestly, those should be the ones actually following the rules for once.

Just make sure you grab the standard drivers instead of the DCH versions.

Honestly, you might be better off going with dual channel, since Intel chips really don't perform their best when they're being choked by single channel memory.
Best portable speaker recommendations? in Computer Peripherals ·
Honestly, I’ve been eyeing these or maybe even those https://www.logitech.com/en-gb/produ...cation-tabular

I'm just completely stumped on how the hell I'm supposed to hook them up to both my PS4 and my PC at the exact same time.
Best portable speaker recommendations? in Computer Peripherals ·
Hey guys, I'm looking for some basic, no-frills speakers for my PC and PS4 setup, ideally staying under $150$67.

Also, does anyone know if there’s a way to have both my PS4 and my PC plugged into the same speakers at once, so I can actually toggle the audio back and forth between them without pulling cables every five minutes?
That processor actually has some future potential at that price point, especially since the specs explicitly state it's unlocked

Unlocked
Yes

It might honestly be worth just ordering the chip and seeing if the person who listed it was telling the truth
if it turns out not to be unlocked, you can always just send it back
Budget gaming PC build under $700? in Desktops ·
Can anyone give me their two cents on this monitor?

$100 It’s priced higher than the Philips models, but at least you get FreeSync and a 144Hz refresh rate.

Look, the 1600AF isn't going to cost you anywhere near $150.

Straight from their official site:

Quote : 3 d ACTIVE fan The 3 d

The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, and the fans will remain off when the GPU is in a low load or low power game.

Honestly, you could've just thrown in an extra $267 🙂
while you were at it.

Oh, please, they just want the Strix version at any cost.

He could also toss in a Ryzen 3600 along with a B450 board and some 16GB 3000MHz Aegis RAM for just a few hundred bucks more than what he's looking at right now $833. Honestly, if he does that, it would be a massive leap forward for his setup.

First off, just lay out what components you're working with and let me know if the game is an original or some kind of knockoff

Look, I already said we’d have to wait on the Nvidia card because I just realized they only have it in stock at the Seattle branch and won't ship it out to me here in Chicago. So, I guess we're just waiting for the next opportunity to strike. Anyway, at least it's good to know they actually have them available if you know where to look.
