So I'm in the market for a new phone in the £200/$250 region (happy with HQ second hand or new condition) and have since narrowed my search down to two phones: The HTC One M9 And the LG G4. The LG G4 is a better speced phone, from what my research has uncovered, as well as having a better, bigger screen and a far superior camera from some shoot outs I saw. But the HTC is a more sexy phone, I think, with a really nice design and better front facing speakers, as well as being a slightly smaller phone which is a bonus for me. I can't decide and want to hear anyone who reads this's opinion on the matter, or if I've missed an obviously better phone at this mark, which is well possible as this is my first android buy, coming from Apple. Cheers, Xvantok. Note: The back options on the LG are irrelevant to me as I will just probably put a wrap on which ever phone I get.

Asus tuf fx505: Ryzen 5 3550h Gtx 1650 Acer Nitro 5: I5 9300h Gtx 1650 Both are same price in my country (Malaysia) with same gpu but different cpu. Which one is better? -
Hi guys, I need a little bit of help. I am building a server for my office, and I cannot decide on which motherboard to get: I find very little reviews and comparisons between the following motherboards: 1. Gigabyte Z390 M GAMING https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z390-M-GAMING-rev-10/sp#sp 2. Gigabyte Z390 M (cannot find it anywhere in pcpartpicker, Amazon or Newegg, but I can find it in my country's online marketplace) https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z390-M-rev-10#kf 3. msi MPG Z390 GAMING PLUS https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z390-GAMING-PLUS/Specification Why gaming and z390 you say? I find it not the cheapest but the next z390 out there with 2 NVMe slots, an ethernet port, and most importantly it works out of the box without having to guess whether I need to update my BIOS version or not, These motherboards seem to have a very good VRM and VRM heat dissipation. I considered Gigabyte Z390 UD (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z390-UD-rev-10), but it seems like it only has 1 M.2 slot, otherwise, it would have been perfect. Why 2 M.2? I am thinking of getting 1 M.2 NVMe SSD for my boot drive and programs, and the other M.2 slot is used for optane caching if I opt to use it in the future. I will have 2 x 2TB HDD as my RAID 1 setup storage. Thank you for helping this novice guy, who has not built a PC in almost 2 decades. -
Hi, would there be any scenarios where an i3-8100 be better than an i5-8400T in gaming? The i3 has a constant clock speed of 3.6GHz while the 8400T has a base clock of 1.7Ghz and a boost clock of only 3.3GHz. I play mainly Wahammer: Vermintide 2 and Apex Legends with an RX 580. PassMark here. What would you recommend? Thank you.

Hello, I'm going to buy a new headphones but I don't know which to buy between HyperX Cloud Alpha and Steelseries Arctis 5 2019 Edition, I'm going to use it for gaming and listening to music. I would love to know your opinions which should I buy between these two headphones. Thank you for your time :) Here are the links for each headphones: HyperX Cloud Alpha -> Amazon FR: https://www.amazon.fr/HyperX-Cloud-Alpha-Casque-Micro-Gaming/dp/B076GT6XJ9/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=hyperx+cloud+alpha&qid=1566653779&s=computers&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVEpLQVRIN0NaSUgwJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDM1NzAwMlk4TDFQSUQxOFpZTyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzQ2Mjc3SEdQQlRISVU5WUk3JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== Technical Sheet: https://www.hyperxgaming.com/us/headsets/cloud-alpha-pro-gaming-headset Steelseries Arctis 5 2019 Edition -> Amazon FR: https://www.amazon.fr/SteelSeries-Arctis-Plateformes-PlayStation-Nintendo/dp/B07GFWMF2Z/ref=dp_ob_title_ce?th=1 Technical Sheet: https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-5#arctis-5-black-2019-edition

I'm not tech savvy at all, which is why I'm purchasing an affordable pre-built system (my budget is $900 and I'm leaving room to purchase a monitor). These two are really similar and have really good reviews - albeit one more than the other: The first system has a graphics card ram size of 6 GB in comparison to the second's 4 GB. The first system also has a 120 GB SSD card alongside the 1 TB Hard Drive (I heard downloading games onto the SSD reduces load time, but maybe you guys can speak to the validity of that). Both systems obviously have different graphics cards, but I don't know which is better than the other. Which system is better?

Hello, I'm upgrading a 2nd hand computer that doesn't have a SSD, so I quickly searched through the Internet and found Crucial BX500 and PNY CS900, Now I want to know which is better between the two, I've looked at BENCHMARK of the two storages but still don't know which should I get. I'd appreciate it if you took the time to reply to this topic Thank you in advance Here are the components of the PC : It's an ASUS CG8480 Intel Core i7-3770K Nvidia GTX 670 Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB Kingston ASU16D3LU1KBG/8G P8Z77-M-Pro

I am looking to air cool a threadripper setup - I just need something effective and quiet. No need for flash. However I am struggling to find good sources of comparisons between the different options. AMD of-course just lists available options without showing preference. Bias would have me choose the noctua option over the wraithripper, but I have zero data to support a choice like that. Any recommendations and/or pointers to writeups/videos/whatever?

Hi, new Ryzen processors are already with us and everyone interested already watched probably multiple reviews. I was thinking about building new PC from some time and wanted to build it with Intel i9 9900K. Because Ryzen 3 release was close, I decided to wait. Right now I think Ryzen 3700X is a better option, because it matches or even outperforms Intel in some scenarios and it is only ~10% slower in games. Differences in games should be also only visible in processor heavy locations and they should be smaller in higher resolution (I think about 1440p). In general this decision should be easy, BUT... I have an option to buy Intel i9 9900KF for ~310$. Now choice is more complicated, as this price is lower than for Ryzen 3700X. I want to build PC for many years (preferably 5+) with possible only small upgrades. Right now Intel is better (and cheaper in my case), but if I would like change the processor in the future, I will have to change also motherboard. On AMD AM4 platform I expect at least one more generation, and current x570 chipsets are coming with PCIe 4.0 support. Right now I cannot utilize this new interface, but possibly it may become useful in 2-3 years. So, I have only one question. Looking at the market today and possible future development, which one is better Intel i9 9900KF or AMD Ryzen 3700X? Of course taking into account lower price for Intel.

soo i have a question wich gpu would i be better of with ? Gtx660 (ti) or Gtx750 (ti) i watched some videos where gtx660 is deffinately better but in some cases mostly newer games (i guess) gtx750 takes the lead. i wont be playing a lot of games on it mostly Assassin's Creed series, GTA V and some shooters like Cod and BF. what's your experience with the card and which one would you suggest more... P.S i'm building a new budget pc witch socket 1155, with 8gb ddr3 ram and probobly i3 2240 (also i currently have gtx 460 v2 1gb) so what's your thoughts on it and what other alternative would you suggest for best budget price ? thank you

Hey guys, There is currently a used titan xp available for $1100 cdn used and private sale near me, and there are RTX 2080s on sale for the same after tax. I am wondering if I should go for the RTX 2080 or the Titan xp. Let me know if you need anymore details. EVGA 650w QC PSU btw. So the titan may bring me closer to max load. EDIT: I will be gaming with the card at 1440p.

So I need a decently powerful laptop to edit with Premiere, Photoshop and would like to be able to do some light gaming as well. I currently have been looking at the Zephryus and the M15, but now with the new RTX cards, I'm conflicted. Should I shell out the extra money for the newer GPU or would it be smarter to get a 1070 version and save over 500 dollars? Help!

I'm looking at my next upgrade to be a Samsung s20 Plus or the iPhone Pro Max. I don't want the ultra because in all honesty I don't use my phone camera that often and I don't have 5G in South Africa. I want to know from you guys what you think?

Hi, So I have recently purchased a RTX 2070 Super (the Gigabyte Windforce OC 3X 8G - GV-N207SWF3OC-8GD model) and used MSI Afterburner to overclock it. I didn't really find somewhere a comprehensive forum that compares OC results for this card but I have found some user reports here and there and I am a little bit surprised with my results (in a good way). When I look at the clock speed during a game (Shadow of the Tomb Raider for instance) or run a benchmark I have the following results: Running at stock speed without any overclock I reach and cruise at 1905 MHz --> That seems pretty higher that what I have seen from other users With an overclock I can reach a cruise clock speed of 2130 MHz . This is with a core clock of +140 and memory clock of +900 . I can push it a bit more while still being stable but I noticed that my core clock speed won't increase above 2130 MHz Again, this seems a bit higher than what I've seen from other users. Anyone on this forum have had similar results or would know whay there seems to be some big differences ? Thanks,

It's been a while since I have been here. But I am back because I'm in a dire situation. I can't decide which one to get. I know that I7-8700 has 6 cores and 12 threads. And on the other hand I7-9700 has 8c/8th. I don't intend on buying AMD because I have already bought parts for 8th and 9th gen cpus. Problem is that 9th gen cpus in my country are currently out of stock and their prices are inflated so high that i7-9700 (non-k) costs $87 more than a i7-9700k. Whereas I7-8700 costs around $345. So the question is would I benefit more from 9th gen i7 cpu or just don't bother with it and get an i7-8700? Main purpose is gaming and streaming from time to time. Rig: CPU:??? RAM: 16gb 2666mhz Mobo: b365m gigabyte aorus Cooler: cooler master hyper 212 Black edition PSU: 550W 80+ bronze. Thanks in advance, Netreo

Hi! I have been considering buying a new keyboard. My top two choices are the drevo blademaster TE ($70) and the ducky one 2 mini ($100). If I get the blademaster, I will also get these PBT pudding keycaps: https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Double-Shot-PBT-Keycaps/dp/B07JDVG4RQ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=pbt+keycaps&qid=1578958807&sr=8-3. That would bring the total price of the drevo keyboard and caps to $90, $10 less than the ducky by itself. I would just like to know your opinions on which keyboard to get. Thank you!

Hi there! I am looking into buying a new 13" laptop, preferably 2-in-1. Budget is up to £1500. I was thinking about the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 or the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga, with an i7, 16GB RAM, at least 512GB NVMe and ideally I would like to go for a 1080p touch. The last criterion points to Lenovo, as far as I know they are the only ones that offer this screen combo, which I think would benefit battery life. Do we have any idea about the performance of these two, compared to each other, especially since the Dell have the 10th Gen i7s? Also, which one do you think has the best build quality, especially regarding the hinges? I am afraid of the accidental drop and/or an eventual loosening of them. Thanks for your help in advance! -
As the title of this thread suggest, im currently living with pretty severe bottleneck from my intel i5 5600 having to deal with a RTX2060. (Purchased knowing of the bottleneck but i got a good price, ok :) ) Since blackfriday and the holiday season coming up shortly its time to upgrade the rest of the rig, whats recommended for the least amount of bottleneck is pairing an intel i7 8700k with the 2060 and 16 gb of 3200? ram. But since i live in sweden and for some reason stores here price intel cpu's with insane profit margins, im available to get AMD cpus and AM4 boards for a better price than the intel alternatives. The question is it worth to get an r7 3700x some decent B450 motherboard and 16/32 gb of 3600 Mhz ram to go with it for about the same price even tho it will result in the cpu being bottlenecked by the gpu? Tl:dr, is it worth going from cpu to gpu bottleneck or should i go with a no bottleneck solution with less potential for upgrading in the future?

Hi, I want to buy a laptop for graphic design. Not too much rough use only will use it for any urgent case. I will buy them as a used product. I wanna know that which processor will be more better Intel Core i5-4210U 4th Gen or Intel Core i3-7100U 7th Gen Thank you!

Hi All, Forgetting for a moment the cost of these two cards: 2080 Ti Asus Matrix (Boost 1815 Mhz) - AUD $3,699 2080 Ti Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce (Core Clock 1770 Mhz) - AUD $2,299 Both use liquid cooling in different ways. Matrix doesn't require an external radiator, whereas the Waterforce does (Also has a custom water-loop version). I am unsure about whether the 'Core Clock' on the Waterforce is referring to Boost Clock, or if that's its Base. Question though, is; if there is a sub 100 Mhz difference in clock speeds, is the performance worth the extra AUD $1400? Or is there something I have missed here? I'd love to see a comparison, but I cannot find one anywhere. My aim is understand what the price is buying. If it's simply the recouping of RnD cost, then the Matrix should have stayed in the RnD Centre IMHO.
