  1. Nowhere to run nowadays, but ASUS seems to be the absolute worst of the bunch.
  2. I'd go with the 4080 Super. I like ray tracing, and 16gb is likely to be ok for the foreseeable future. I'd want to upgrade to 24gb once new consoles drop. Drivers are also more stable on Nvidia based on both personal experience and what's I've read on Reddit. Just do yourself a favour and get a good monitor after upgrading the GPU. The monitor in my opinion is just as important as the graphics card.
  3. I would 100% go for the microcenter deal. Buddy, that's not even a question! The upgrade is significant.
  4. I upgraded my PC at the end of 2014, where I got a 4790k, 16gb, EVGA 970 FTW, Strix micro ATX board, Corsair H100i AIO, Corsair 350D case. The only thing I kept from before was my sata SSD. I didn't really have a problem running anything on a 1080p panel. I remember Witcher 3 pushing the build to the limit though. I think I got everything on Black Friday, and then I updated from a GTX 770 to the 970 on Christmas because I wasn't getting the performance I wanted. 980Ti back then was aimed at 1440p. Nothing could play 4k properly at the time.
  5. I was watching Jujutsu Kaizen with the feature turned on and I very much liked it.
  6. I think it would be a good idea to force people into studying and taking a test about social media and its repercussions. If passing, they'd be granted a "license code" that would be mandatory for signing up. That license code would also be attached to who you are, so creating fake accounts would be significantly harder. If shit hits the fan, authorities would likely have an easier time tracking the perpetrator.
  7. I actually found the answer in a different post: https://ca.msi.com/Promotion/best-QD-OLED-monitors
  8. Curious about it, as I can't find the information anywhere. I purchased mine yesterday at my local Memory Express store.
  9. I never leave it on, and just leave G-Sync checked on.
  10. Well, if you make money out of the platform through your not so well-made videos, that's a purpose. If you've never built your fanbase on other social media platforms, you're in for some trouble. That aside, Tiktok and other similar apps could all burn for all you and I both seem to care.
  11. I wish Samsung would create the Pixel phones, and let Google handle the software experience. We had bost of both worlds
  12. My high end ASUS cards always had coil whine. I'm now on MSI and I either lucked out, or it's much better in general.
  13. Hi, I bought a AW3225QF monitor when it came out, and I was looking into how to better connect my computers to it. My PC has a 4090 SUPRIM X, and the Macbook Pro I use for work is the 16" M1 Pro model from 2021. The Macbook doesn't have HDMI 2.1, and it can only send a 4k 120hz signal via one of its USB C ports, so I need a USB C to DP cable. The monitor only has one DP input, so I'd need to use the HDMI 2.1 output from my graphics card. According to Dell's website, here are the relevant specs on the Alienware monitor: 1x DP 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3)(Supports up to 3840 x 2160 240 Hz, DSC, HDR) 2 x HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3)(Supports up to 3840 x 2160 240 Hz FRL, HDR, VRR as per specified in HDMI 2.1) (including 1x HDMI 2.1 FRL with eARC - to support Dolby ATMOS signal pass-through) Would I be losing any performance or feature like G-sync compatible from my PC if HDMI 2.1 is used? Would I get anything beyond 4k 120hz from the Mac by using a USB C to DP 1.4 cable? Please note that through DP the monitor uses DSC to achieve super high refresh rate at 4k with HDR enabled, while using FRL through HDMI for what I believe to be the same results. Thanks! PS.: I'm trying to understand the connections prior to buying the cable, and the monitor takes 10 business days to arrive here in Vancouver, 5 business days on customs, 5 business days in transportation. Dell is sending these from America, even if buying from the Canadian store
  14. Can you get your hands on a Ducky One 3? Take a look at mechanicalkeyboards.com. You'll find much better keyboards that in this Mexican Amazon.
  15. You need a BIOS upgrade. If HP never created a BIOS to support such CPU, you're out of luck (unless, of course, you can hack your way through a custom BIOS).
