As usual, people can't seem to avoid confrontation on the subject, also, as per the Community Standards, company X vs Y threads aren't allowed.

There are too many people who see just Apple as the only good consumer electronics company in the world and too many who just hate the company for no reason 
 
we should see the good things and bad things about their products 
 
bad things :
 
bad thermal designs
 
T2 security chip ( honestly almost nobody needs it it just helps Apple‘s anti repair behavior)
 
anti consumer behavior ( warranty , repairability )
 
making clearly stupid construction choices just to have a good looking design 
 
 
good things 
 
privacy ( definitely not perfect but better than Android)
 
software optimisation

They're good but the word "King" is a massive overstatement. Besides, the main thing to consider about a phone is not the CPU/GPU - those are the LAST thing you have to worry about.

I'd say worry about durability first - Apple devices have a very sour reputation because they fail extremely easily due to the poor internal quality, poor design and intentional anti-consumer decisions that force a phone to either fail premature or become obsolete.

We do care about performance, we just aren't willing to sacrifice an interface and ecosystem we prefer just to say we score higher in a benchmark.  To abuse car analogies: if you go shopping for a car based purely on 0-60 times, you're A) missing out on so much more and B) probably not very fun.

Not true at all. Many professionals use macs for video editing, music work, and animation. There are tons of apps needed by professionals that only work on macOS.

Yep, I can confirm that it worked for me. I'm downloading it now. I was going to hold off on this until a Steam sale. Damn. Kinda feel guilty now..

Confirmed.

You have 4Gb...
 
Looks normal to me.

Edit: If this is with no games open, go ahead and look at resource monitor and see what applications are taking up the most memory.

I just upgraded to a new mouse. I tried the all premium mice including the ones you listed. I settled on the G502. Literally none of the other mice felt so comfortable in my hand as the G502. It doesn't feel cheap at all. I literally started playing better in Rainbow Six: Siege instantly. My Sensei is like a bargain bin mouse in comparison. lol 

So, I say G502.

For just regular home use, I'd say no. The EVO is plenty fast for your everyday drive.

>SSD is overrated
Have you ever even used an SSD?  :lol:  The difference is way more than night and day.

kinda of a slap in the face to people that bought the reg 502 then offer the advanced one for the same price, but oh well, ill just stick with my 502 and its ugly blue led when my system is red and black. lol

If you really want to buy one now, I would say the 390. Honestly, I think it's worth waiting until the new Nvidia and AMD cards are released.

I would go for Western Digital or Seagate instead. 

Not sure why people are arguing here. There's nothing to really argue about. It is literally a fact that SLI has many problems. Games come out that doesn't properly take advantage of SLI all the time. My brother just ditched SLI in favor for a single 980Ti. 

It really comes down to if you'd rather plug and play with no issues, or deal with the headache of SLI. 

My point is. If I am forced to pay double the price, I at least deserve a demo of the game first (many don't have those). I own half the games I used to play pirated currently on steam or battlenet as I deemed them worthy of such an investment.
Furthermore, if the localization process for prices wasn't getting screwed up by Grey Market key resellers who take keys intended for us, lower-income users, and sell them to the US for low prices it would be a whole lot better. Imagine having to pay 80$ for your games and not having steam sales or G2A. Don't act as if third world countries deserve to rot in hell while you sit atop your ivory tower just because of dumb luck. If someone is offered a bad deal, they will steal. Simple as that.

980 Ti. Single card is always better + more VRAM, no SLI issues, less heat, less noise.

Barely there anymore?
 
What about Fallout 4? What about Witcher? Batman(Horrible port, but still) ? Assassin's creed, should I go on?
 
 

 
 
Have a look at this video, they trade blows, sometimes the 980TI performs better.
 
 
When, you're talking about 3.5/4 Gb, games do bottleneck, seen with Shadow of Mordor using 6GB+
 
 
Also, if you had the choice between having your case 5-20C cooler, wouldn't you want that?

The Witcher 3. That is all.

Other than that, I pretty much agree with you. Gaming has become rather dull the past few years. Witcher 3 is the only example I can think of right now that was mind-blowingly fucking great.

On principle I would neither pirate nor buy any game with Denuvo in it. It is an unacceptable form of DRM that hogs system resources which should be put towards the performance of the game.
 
Though, see my sig for further standpoint.

GoG is absolutely wonderful and CDPR are the best company when it comes to DRM (because they don't have any, heh). The Witcher 3 sold many copies, despite not having any anti-piracy protection.
 
The bottom line is that if a game is good, it's going to sell anyway.
 
There aren't that many people using GoG though, my friend list is empty.

This DRM war is stupid. It hurts actual consumers waaaaaaaaaay more than people who pirate. It's not possible to make an uncrackable game unless it's online only and even then, if someone really wanted it they could probably do it.

It's already over, it happened last night. Unless they're doing another one. Not really sure. All they did was talk about cars. *yawn*
