Hi people! Ofesad here from Argentina. Recently I upgraded my cpu, mb and ram. My current rig is: - CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X - RAM: 16gb Corsair RGB 3200mhz - MB: Asus X570-P - SSD: Samsung EVO 850 250gb - HDD: 3 x WD Gold 6Tb (yes I save every single file I work on) - GPU: Ati R9 270X 6gb - PSU: Antec Quadro 850w (over 8yrs, still working fine. Replaced cooler.) - DVD Burner & Bluray Burner - BenQ PD2700Q (2K resolution) I use this pc mainly for Adobe software (PS, AI, Premiere, Indesign), video encoding, photo editing, website design, software programming, development server, local server + dnla and some other things I do. Also some gaming, normally I would have 1 o 2 games installed but I would play 1 o 2 times a week. Not the newest games but I am expecting the upcoming Diablo 4 and Baldurs Gate 3. The actual GPU works fine but even playing Diablo 3 I see it gets the frame rate around 40 and when too much artifacts appear, it gets even lower, around 20. I am considering upgrading to a Ati 5700 XT or a Nvidia 2060 (maybe a Super if it's worth the difference in price). I personally always has been an ATI supporter, but I see that it hasn't been keeping up with Nvidia. I wanna ear your opinions about one or the other regarding productivity and gaming. Also if it could be better to wait to next year for new models or chips, or just take the christmas offers with one of these. Thank you all! Ofesad from Argentina.

Hi guys, Ofesad here from Argentina. Yesterday I was looking for a Bluray disc burner and I found one for crazy cheap. According to the seller, it was brand new never used and he got the last one for sale. SATA cable included. Since the price was a total steal: 40usd (normally it would sell for 3 times that price here), I didn't think much and bought it. Today I received the "brand new" LG BD burner (WH16NS40). On the exterior, I can see some markings on he side that clarely shows it has been put in a pc. However the front and the disc tray looks pristine. No a spec of dust and they look new and shiny. No greasy fingers markings or nothing like that. Neither in the bottom of the tray or the rails and gears teeths. So, I have my doubts about it... Maybe he had it on a pc for show but it wasn't used actually (the seller mentioned it was the last one, he had it on display). So far the drives reads discs fine. Haven't tested burning yet (I have to buy some blanks). Question time: Is there any software or way to actually know how many hours or how many discs a BD burner has burned or has been working/burning? I would think that such information could be stored in the drive, like cameras and camcorders store how many shots or hours have been taken or have been working.

Like the title said: I need an video conferece app (free if possible) to do series of video conferences (interviews) and record it on the hard drive of the interviewer. The hard part: Each participant video feed/stream must be saved on a separate files. This is for later video editing. For example, if it's a 1 on 1 conference, it should save 2 (or more) files: One for the interviewer and one for the interviewee. Audio files can be separatly or not. I dont mind meanwhile they are the proper audio streams of each video. MP4 Compression would be nice, but not mandatory. I already have tried Zoom but it does one single file of all the conference. Any recommendations or solutions? Thanks!
