AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Review: The New King of Price To Performance Ratio
Marvzl1357 replied to 4960X's topic in Tech News
Because the 1800x can then overclock past the 1700's overclocked performance? Like I believe it was the gtx 770 and 760, the 760 can overclock to nearly the 770s performance and wow gtx 770 for cheaper! But then you go in and overclock the 770 and the 760 is left behind. -

So what I got out of this is that apple wants to move better audio processing away from the phone itself and push it on to headphone manufacturers and save costs so they can charge more for the "elegance" of their phones...

[GameAgent] Borderlands 2 Complete $10 (GOTY + all other DLC)
Marvzl1357 replied to Dealzon's topic in Hot Deals
Wow damn that's worth it, still a great game and all the dlc's are fun as -
Just skip to the end if you couldn't be bothered reading, I'm not fussed. Just an off thought I had, with the advent of 4k TV's and everyone diving in on that shit like dogs to a ball, and also the "next-gen" consoles having come out around the same time, I was wondering who really saves money with their gaming set up as a whole (from scratch or a complete upgrade). And by as a whole I mean including the freaking monitor because that seems to be something everyone leaves out. Let's look at a standard UHD 55" TV that's worth its salt, in Australia at least, (hence all costs are in aud) they're about $1500-2000, a PS4 XB1 is about $500 with the PS4 being slightly cheaper, all in all that's $2000-$2500 for the underpowered console displaying its only sometimes 1080p rarely 60fps output on a 4k TV (that probably has oversampling turned on because TV's are dumb). Meanwhile PC's, with what I would consider a pretty high end computer on my pccg wishlist (in spoilers) INCLUDING WINDOWS AND A MONITOR, that comes to *Drum rolllllll* $2500, actually slightly under that, and I can easily make that $500 or so cheaper by choosing a standard sata ssd, 380x, 8gb ram, a cheaper cooler, and a slightly less awesome monitor, but preferably not. So my range is $2000-$2500. So in the end, consoles, $2000-$2500, my wishlist pc $2000-$2500. Wow same range who would've thunk! spelling is a joke What benefits do consoles have? Oled and (unutilised) 4k (monitor dependent), couch convenience, and some more entertaining exclusives. For me, the only real win is the oled, which isn't even on all 4k TV's. But I want my oled pc monitors damnit. What benefits do pc's have? Free multiplayer, freedom of hardware, scalable and always better graphics, True >1080p >60fps display, F-ing Freesync and G-Sync, keyboard/mouse, and more use than just a gaming box, Obviously the benefits could go for much longer but that's the main ones for me. And the other factor to account for, is game prices. Console games are consistently $80-$100 here, with my console playing friends saying $70 for rainbow six siege "isn't that bad, that's pretty cheap". I swear I've never bought more than 4 games over $50 because I've always stocked up on games during steam/origin sales. Obviously if we have a same initial cost for the entire set-up but one has cheaper games, i.e. running costs, the one with cheaper games will win out in the end. And on top of that once you get a good monitor, you're not going to replace it for years to come. But does that really decide it... Another important factor is enjoyment, of course if a game looks better and runs smoother it's going to be instantly more appealing to the eyes, but I suppose many console players don't really have an eye for detail and don't really care about graphics, hence this part is subjective, pc wins for me though. Lastly, upgradessss. PC's are constantly pushed in terms of graphics as new games come out, and to achieve an even comparable result on consoles devs will have to either optimise the heck out of it or use trickery to make their game appear to have better graphics, so no need to upgrade console gpu's. But the increase in graphics means a need to increase gpu power, once every 3-4 years is when I upgrade my gpu, but that's it, that's all I have to upgrade unless pci-e gets ditched for something. So that's $400-$500 every 3-4 years, money that probably has been saved by cheaper games. Soooooo actually they ended up costing the same. oh poo. So if you've bothered to read all of my bored thoughts, cool, high five. I'll try to summarise it all. All in all, I've concluded that from the ground up, (no display, no console/pc), and including games, PC's and consoles really cost about the same to game on. Consoles have more expensive displays whereas PC's have more expensive systems, you see, one up one down. Console games are more expensive but PC's need an upgrade every few years, another one up one down thing. Altogether, the cost IS about the same. Non monetarily, PC's almost always have better graphics, that is not a debate, that is fact, but can be worse than consoles if you drop the graphical settings of course. BUT PC's have the extra usefulness of just being a PC, YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO THINGS ON IT, and that, in my mind is why PC's will always be a superior existence when it comes down to gaming and computing. But for this comparison I've only done high end vs console, if you do mid range vs console I'm pretty sure that pc gaming would be decisively cheaper. Ok, rant done. Like it if you liked it, dislike it if you disliked it, leave a comment if you want to share your opinion, rip me apart for horrible logic, or just say "k" I don't really mind. Thanks for reading

Are you sure you want to have your itx board in an even bigger case? What do you actually need the radiators for and how many radiators?

Winning the Kova would be nice. Having the option of using so many mouse buttons but not as a thumb-numpad is enticing.

That's largely a singular example, we were talking about ssds vs hdds in the general average sense.
