    _hANSI got a reaction from soldier_ph in Apple - allegedly - caught nerfing ANC Performance on their Headphones   
    Summary
     
     It looks like Apple might have been caught yet again nerfing the performance of one of their products with a software update, this time around reducing the effectiveness of noise cancelling on the AirPods Max.

    My thoughts
     While this may just be apple doing apple things, I find this instance especially egregious, if the alleged is true. If you go into a shop to try out different headphones and buy a pair based on the ANC you experience, and then the performance gets nerfed after a couple of weeks I would consider it misleading at best.
     
    Making things worse, this update gets pushed without user interaction, so there's not even a way of opting out.
     
    There's no statement out from Apple yet, so there may be a technical reason for this, but if there isn't and this is just their typical shenanigans, this looks really bad.

    AMD solutions is great and the price is significantly less than NVidia's solution on the "sync" department. you will need to consider for AMD GPUs tho that will be sufficient for your needs and then you can buy a Freesync monitor that's high end (example 144Hz @1440p). if you opt for nVidia, you will just have to do the same thing with just opposite brand

    _hANSI got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in Freesync VS G-sync   
    They both do pretty much the same, but freesync is a whole lot cheaper on the monitor side. If you already have a NVIDIA GPU freesync won't work for you, if you have an AMD GPU gsync won't work for you. So unless you want to buy a new GPU that pretty much determines your choice.

    There is a non-subscription version of PayPal currently available to users who use a billing address in Germany or China, but aside from that there will be more payment options when the new site launches.
