  1. I have a 3700x with 4070TI and use a 1440p monitor and have been completely fine. If you do have a big bottleneck in the games you play, you can always upgrade the CPU later on.
  2. If you're willing to buy from Germany, you can find the 6700XT starting at 350€, I would also keep an eye for sales across various EU Countries. RX 6000 series especially is pretty often on sale so you might be able to find some really good deals. Sales for Nvidia cards are pretty rare but I would still check the prices for 3070's and 3080's. PcPartPicker supports many of the EU countries so it's quick and easy to check the prices for various countries.
  3. The difference is only few percentages so I wouldn't worry about it.
  4. It sounds like you just bought the PC so why are you changing the PSU since you have a warranty on the whole machine? I wouldn't worry about the PSU untill you run out of the warranty offered by shark gaming, and after that you can start looking for a new PSU.
  5. Why don't they just use virtual machines? Have a wifi chip on the glasses that connects to the virtual machine, that way you can make it lighter and smaller since you only would need the glasses and a keyboard.
  6. Why not just install the new GPU to the system, and then monitor the usages on games you play. If there's a problem you can think about upgrading the other parts of the system as needed. I'm personally running 4070TI with 3700x at 1440p, and haven't had any problems.
  7. It's almost like there's forced product segmentation happening here. They've clocked down the 7800X3D to differentiate it from the 7950X3D and it's still almost as fast. The 79xxX3D parts were marketed for gaming, but in gaming they shut off half of their cores making them 6 and 8 core parts. As for productivity, you would just buy the 7950x which is cheaper and still good for gaming.
  8. It is expensive, but cost per frame isn't outrageous. I wouldn't personally buy it for 4k gaming, since it often performs the same as a 3080, but for 1440p it's fine. If you can find cheap rtx 3000 or AMD cards they can be better value, depending if your PSU can handle them. 4070 TI isn't that power hungry, I'm personally using it with 650w Seasonic. Edit: Just so you know the prices at the picture are from the launch day of 4070 TI so the numbers will be slightly off at this point.
  9. Look at the prices of 3080 and 3090, since the 4070 ti performs about the same as them at 4k so if you can find those cards for cheaper they can be better buys, if your PSU can handle them, since the 3000 series had those really bad power spikes. As for DLSS3, it took quiet a while for DLSS2 to become a thing and I doubt the third one will overtake it anytime soon since it's only supported by the 4000-series.
  10. Honestly, 7950X3D and 7900X3D are completely pointless products, since they are basically 8 cores and 6 cores respectively so why not just release 7800X3D that's been pushed to the limit, you can even ask premium for it on the basis that it's the fastest gaming cpu. Then you can release 7600X3D as the budget option for the masses.
  11. Depending where you live, one good budget card would be RX 5700XT. Currently they are being sold used around $150-200 and offer excellent 1080p and good 1440p experience.
  12. One thing to consider is that most people still play at 1080p 60-144hz, and at that resolution even rx 480 and gtx 1060 (6gb) are still holding on, only now becoming minimum requirements for some of the most demanding games. So when you have people upgrading their GPU's less often, the companies need those higher margins to compansate.
  13. I ran AMD GPU's for 7 years straight, bought rx 480 from launch and 5700 xt slighly after launch and never had any problems with either card. I actually miss the AMD drivers, mostly because they had everything there. No need to download Gefore experience just to have some basic functionality.
  14. Well, in the past the GPU's usually got significantly more powerful with each generations, and monitor resolutions were increasing rapidly. But for the past few generations, the monitor resolutions have stopped increasing and the GPU's started to become good enough to play on high graphics at 4k resolution, so people have less of a need to upgrade. Even less for people who are playing at 1080p or 1440p.
  15. Like I said, it's not a bad deal at $90, but just know what you're getting into. It will work perfectly fine at 1080p for now, but in few years it will start to struggle in some titles. Even now if you look at Final Fantasy 7 Remake's minimum requirments they recommend RX 480. So you need to think how big of a problem that will be for you and how much money $90 is for you, then decide on if you'll buy it or not.
  16. It's way better than 1050TI. @sour4v Can you try and get a friend discount for the card? 90USD isn't bad, but it's starting to show its age so try to ask for even better deal.
  17. It's an old argument made since forever. The logic goes like this: The game comes out on Xbox and PC and thus cannot be exclusive. The problem is the logic needs to be extented to say: The game comes out on Microsoft Xbox and Microsoft Windows and... oh it falls apart then.
  18. Guess the AIO makers should add little tap somwhere on the loop so that gamers can boil water for their cup noodles while gaming.
  19. Which is a conflict of interest if they also review those sponsor's prducts, this also includes the free samples. Not really, some sponsors give you more money compared to the others. They might also give you other preferential treatment. Problem here is that there aren't many PSU reviewers, since the hardware is too expensive and there aren't many people reading those reviews meaning it's really risky endeavor. You need to spend a lot of money upfront and then hope people will come and read your reviews, which are hard to understand for most people. So say the Lab gets slightly different results compared to some other reviewers, they don't have the time to go and verify the Lab's results. It doesn't mean they have to praise Seasonic to the high heaven and back, it just means they might understate some problems on Seasonic units. From Google "conflict of interest: a situation in which the concerns or aims of two different parties are incompatible.". So when it comes to manufacturer - reviewer relationship the problem is that the manufacturer wants positive coverage and the reviewer is supposed to be neutral but is dependant on the manufacturer. Sure, and it's a conflict of interest. You can look at the Hardware Unboxed situation where Nvidia felt they had enough leverage to force them to review their products in more positive light. They felt they can bully one smaller reviewer into doing their bidding, because even if they lost HU coverage they would still have many more reviewers to review their products. You can also look at the gaming journalism where the reviewers are dependant on the game studios to give them press copies, and thus at least some sites do blatantly give those games good scores. And I again emphasize that this doesn't mean that there 100% is a conflict of interest, it just means there can be one. Which is problematic since we as a consumers will most likely never know if there is or isn't one.
  20. The problem is human one. Since Seasonic has been heavily involved in the process, to the point where they sponsored a video, Kyle might be influenced to give Seasonic some leeway when it comes to the results. It might also go otherway around if Kyle feel pressured by the conflict of interest and thus be too harsh on Seasonic to "prove there isn't a conflict of interest". Also people need to remember that conflict of interest doesn't mean that there is one, it just mean there can be, which is why it's so problematic.
  21. I used to work in a small recycling center and noticed this Sony Trinitron amongst the electronic trash, took it inside to test if it works and it did so I took it home with me. I just use it for my retro consoles and for that it has been fine for many years now.
  22. I didn't diagnose either of them, since I was just a teenager but from what I remember the Antec gave the motherboard a spike in voltage which killed something on it. Probably the Phenom 2 was too much for it to handle. And the Cooler Master gave the good old pop, sparks and smoke. That's all the detail I can give you, but hopefully that helps at least a little.
  23. I don't remember the exact years but the first one was Antec's power supply that came with Sonata 3 case and I was upgrading to Phenom 2. Once I had changed the CPU and powered on the computer, the PSU died and killed the motherboard. This happened around 2010. Then I bought Cooler Master's PSU and it worked fine, untill I upgraded my GPU to GTX 660 and it died killing my motherboard. New power supplies shouldn't kill any parts, but there's always the risk of protections not being set correctly or something being faulty and them not kicking in. That's why I err on the side of caution nowdays and upgrade the PSU when doing major upgrades.
  24. If it works fine you can keep using it untill you do some substantial upgrades. I've killed 2 motherboards with power supplies. Both times I was upgrading parts and kept the old PSU, but those happened back when psu's didn't have any protections.
  25. "ティ" is read as "ti" and in "スト" you would drop the "u". So it says erutii tii stoa.comu Edit: And in case you don't know, ー is used for double vocals.
