    Do you hate mechanical switches or do you hate the 1 of dozens of switches you got?

    DarkBlade2117 got a reaction from XenosTech in Skype dropping support for App Versions 7.17 to 7.30 on Windows Desktop   
    Discord isn't hard to use, discord is hard to use if you make it hard to use. If you want to run a huge server, yes it can be hard to use to the inexperienced when it comes to bots and stuff but it is far better quality over Skype. With video chats slowly becoming a thing and screensharing being a thing soon, no reason to have skype except for the ignorant few who refuse to get off it.

    Does it matter how little people are using it? To the people that do, it works and can easily be adapted. It's 1 more reason to uninstall Skype.

    Took so  many years to get a gaming group I'm in to use anything but skype when we needed comms. Discord has been the only app to stick finally.

    I'm not, I'm happy with what I got at the time of purchase. I didn't care what was releasing in 3 months, I cared what I got at that moment. I'm happy for a push in the market finally and for what my next CPU upgrade will be which will likely be around the time I go to Uni in 2-3 years.

    Haha, wow. We get increased cores and...loads of bitching from the community. What did you expect? How would it have happened any other way? Of course there would be a shift one year. Suck it up and accept it. 
     
    The i3 7350k was almost on par with the 7500, if not the 7600k. It beat the 6500. The performance of this chip shouldn't be surprising. Does a 7600k not beat the 7700 when overclocked? 
     
    Personally I'm thrilled that Intel is upping their game. I3 the new i5? Perfect. Now we can truly increase the number of people having great experiences on budget gaming rigs. What's wrong with that? 
     
    Depends what it's doing. A 2c/4t can beat a 4c/4t in gaming, and other tasks if clocks are high enough. 
    ...i don't get how that affects your purchasing decision in a negative way? 
    Haha, what? That's ridiculous. No one should trust companies like that, and frankly of you already have the best performance in the market, why keep dumping huge money into R&D? You do gradual releases, keep R&D in check, and research other things. It's nothing new in the business world. Look at Canon. 
    You're delusional if you think they're not a business, first and foremost, watching their bottom line. What company operates with razer thin margins? That's not a smart business strategy at all. R&D isn't free either. "I want improvements! But I don't want to pay for them!" 
    Should have been following the news, or done  some research before you made your purchase
    So? So what if they're pissed. It had to happen sometime. You can't magically add half a core every year so that people don't feel butt hurt. 
     
    Content creation has seem a massive increase over the past few years. So, there genuinely is a use for more cores. Most people don't need them, no, but it's much much higher than even 5 years ago. 
    I don't believe that for a second. They've had more than 2 cores for a really, really long time. They still didn't really take advantage of them until recently. 
    Unless you're doing extensive Excel work you should spend more than $80 on an office cpu...
    How is it anti consumer? They offered a product, it was best on the market. Doesn't sound very anti consumer to me. 
    Haven't leaks already shown that it'll have basically the same clock speed as the last chips? I know the 8700 had a very nice all core boost clock. 
     
    I can buy the argument that AMD will still be better at content creation, since it does have more cores, but I think Intel will take back the gaming crown. Should be interesting to see the reviews.

    I bought an i3-6100 for gaming. Plenty of people got Pentium G4560s for gaming. Ya, you won't get 120FPS maxed out but it'll do more than good enough. Granted I also BCLKd my 6100 to 4.6GHz

    Where are you people getting this idea the game isn't getting huge optimizations? When I first got it, I could barely play on an R9 290. Now I get the same FPS with an R7 360 playing with the same settings. Friend played the game before on an i7-920 and 560Ti, or another on am FX-6300 and 1050Ti

    Your PC wants to do "720 n0-sc0p3z"?
     
    I would check if your mouse manager has an issue with the DPI by backing up the folder, uninstalling the program, deleting the folder, and then reinstalling without the backup being present.
    That's how I do my DPI for most games as well. Yay for DPI logic!

    It's a hobby, most people have them. Right now, gaming is a good hobby for me, $20 for a game and 500 + hours of content? Count me in. Some people like yard work, others like sculpting or modding or whatever, I like gaming.

    I don't know what to be more ashamed of, the fact that you bought an i9, the fact that you spent $190 on an SLI cable or that fact that you even think getting a 7820X is a good deal.
