  1. One of the most concerning things in the article is this:

     “Some of the people in Edmonton were so burnt out,” said one former BioWare developer. “They were like, ‘We needed [Dragon Age: Inquisition] to fail in order for people to realize that this isn’t the right way to make games.’”

    About 95% of Bioware was developing Dragon Age during Anthem's pre-development , and by the end they had people dropping out in what they called "emotional casualties", where team members would just disappear for months because it was so stressful to work at such an insane pace. TO THE POINT that some devs wanted their game to fail in order to prove a point. The sad thing is that this will probably be the last game Bioware ever makes as EA is notorious at shutting down "under-performing" studios.

  2. I'm going to link this video that LTT did about a year ago I skipped over the gaming results and went straight to the productivity results. The conclusion is that faster ram can give you a performance edge, but not enough to make it worth the money

    If not, what's the purpose for such high RAM speeds?

    It's for those looking to squeeze every ounce of power out of their machine when their budget is essentially unlimited.

    The example that they have me is:

    Imagine you and your friend want to play xbox/playstations (whatever) each of you will have a camera, and all of those inputs (2 cameras and 2 gameplays) need to be shown in the stream with a single pc

    All of those at the same time? Or have the ability to swap between them?

  4. Yes the monitor your are looking at does support Freesync through Display Port. Right now there is not data on the compatibility of G-sync with this monitor, but so far it seems that most monitors work fine with it. Given that it's a higher end model and not some cheapo $80 one I'd expect it to run fine.

    I believe we treat Taiwan the same as China for purposes of trade

    Actually we don't. Taiwan is considered separate for trade, even though the US technically doesn't officially recognize it as a country. However trade from Taiwan will still be impacted since most of their exports are intermediary (roughly 78% according to the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research) , meaning that they ship components out to another country (mainly China) where they are then assembled. 

    TL;DR Yes these cards will be affected by tariffs. Whether that price will be passed onto the consumer or if the AIB partners will absorb it is yet to be seen.

  6. People appear to be misunderstanding the problem: It's NOT an internet issue, instead it's a system problem where it causes huge amounts of microstuttering on your screen.

     

    I've been experiencing this as well and to the best of my knowledge there is not solid fix for it. According to other forums I've been reading, it appears to be either an issue with Windows and how it manages monitor refresh rates,(This one was supposedly fixed awhile ago), or the DRM that Netflix uses (WideVine) being poorly designed or implemented .

     

    Some people have had success with reinstalling graphics drivers, some by making sure all their monitors are set to the same refresh rate. But these don't work for everyone. 

  7. AMVA+ is a type of VA panel. It provides better contrast and blacks than most IPS , but generally has both a smaller viewing angle than IPS, and a higher response time.

     

    As far as quality goes for the monitor: the panel is very good supporting full 10 bit color so you can view HDR content on it. It also has fantastic color replication with 100% srgb and 75% Adobe RGB. The response time varies but the minimum is 4ms and average is 12ms on this monitor.

    @Warlockben Do corsair compensate if it does leak and break the GPU CPU MOBO

    It's on a case by case basis. Here is a quote straight from a Corsair rep on their own forums :

    Cooler leaking cases are extremely rare. We have a process in place to evaluate every single damage claim. If the cooler leaks the affected hardware in your system will be sent in and analyzed on a case by case basis.


     

  9. The chance of leakage is very low for AIOs as long as you aren't taking off the tubes or anything. That being said after about 3-5 years the risk can increase as parts wear out, but over my 6 years of owning AIOs I've never had one leak, The h100I v2 is a very well made product (though the included software sucks IMO) and should be fine,

  10. I'd honestly recommend getting an Audio interface like the Focusrite scarlet solo or the BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UM2. They will give you the phantom power you  need and also provide a proper interface for the xlr mic. I do not recommend using an XLR to 3.5mm adapter unless absolutely necessary.
