Would You Rather Tech Game 2.0

WYR have super fast limited (40GB) data or slow unlimited data (like my 2mbps internet )

Unlimited data. At least I'd be able to use it.

Would you rather work as an engineer at Intel and get discounts on Intel products or work as an engineer at NVIDIA and get discounts on NVIDIA products.

Nvidia. Their super-expensive GPU's would be more useful to me than Intel's super-expensive CPU's.

 

Would you rather have Microsoft or Google spy on you?

Google because I trust them more and they basically already spy on us with adsense.

 

Would you rather have a custom air cooler (?) or an H100i V2?

Nvidia so I could finally get one of their graphics cards at MSRP.

rekt

WYR buy a used R9 295X2 that was used for bitcoin mining for $200 and hope it lasts or buy a new GTX 1060/RX 480?

New RX 480. A 295X2 would overheat hugely in my case.

In fact, I just got the email notification that my Sapphire NITRO RX 480 8GB has shipped

Microsoft. I don't do anything with them except my OS and Office, whereas I do basically everything with Google.

But stupid question really, they both spy on us anyways

H100i v2, my case is better suited to liquid than air.

 

High-performance PC (6950X, dual 1080s, etc.) that is super loud or less powerful PC (i3-6100, RX 460, etc.) that is whisper-quiet?

High performance because POWER!

 

Would you rather only be allowed one website a day or one game a day?

One game a day. Would probably be Rocket League most days

 

Evaporative "bong" CPU cooler or phase change CPU cooler?

I've got an H110i GT, H100i V2 would be less of a downgrade.

For the air cooler to perform about the same, it would have to be way too big for my liking (and maybe too loud).

That's the point.

High-performance. I don't care that much about noise.

 

Would you rather have all USB interfaces changed to lightning or use the current standards (no Type-C).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an evaporative cooler a 'phase-change' cooler?

Current standards. I don't own any Lightning stuff so I'd have to buy all new cables and hubs.

What I meant was, evaporative bong cooler as in the DIY super tall external units or a phase change cooler integrated into a case?

 

Have no audio devices on your PC or have speakers which always emit white noise, even when the system is shut down?

Then, a... I guess an integrated phase-change cooler.

White noise. I have two massive fans always going in my room, I'm uncomfortable with silence.

 

Would you rather have the PC industry suddenly shift focus to only work and professional stuff or only entertainment and games?

Only work and professional stuff. I think we'd be in trouble if the world went "screw the datacentres and the supercomputers and the deep learning and the AI research, let's make games!"

 

A ludicrously big but very thin smartphone (eg. 6.5 inch screen but .25cm thick) or a ludicrously thick but sensible screen-size smartphone (eg. 5 inch screen but 2cm thick)?

I hate the "let's make it thinner!" craze, and I hate the "let's make the screen EVEN BIGGER!" craze, so the thick one.

 

Would you rather have a hybrid card with nowhere to put the radiator or an air-cooled card that always throttled?

Hybrid card. I'm sure I could ghetto-mount the rad somewhere.

 

A keyboard with super stiff keys that you have to put a lot of force on to press or a keyboard with keys so sensitive that it registers wrong keystrokes all the time?

Stiff. I can't imagine a keyboard that sensitive would have a lot of travel.

 

Would you rather your mouse's scroll wheel always be a flywheel or require so much force to 'click' that you have to regrip the mouse.

Flywheel. Garbage for gaming, but I'm sure there's ways around it.

 

WYR break your own phone's screen on accident, or intentionally do something stupid and end up breaking your friend's phone screen (unintentionally).

Would you rather have the top-end Alienware (no selling it) or a relatively high-end custom rig.

High end custom

 

WYR Have a slow phone that's indestructible or a brand new and really fast phone that'll break if you put it down too hard (No upgrading to a new phone)

If they're the same price, the fast phone (buy some expensive invincible case though).

 

WYR have a decent rig (i5 4460 or smthing, gtx960) with an unlimited steam wallet, or a massive gaming rig (whatever linus is putting in whatever massive hulking project abomination rig he'll be making next,), with a $100 steam budget/year.

i'd take the massive gaming rig with smal Budget since i usually only Play 2 games a year anyways.

 

WYR Play a driving game with mouse only, meaning left click is gas and right is break (or similar)

OR Play a shooter with a wheel.

I would rather cycle 25km because tbh with you, it isn't that bad. I cycled to my dad's work which was just over 25km yesterday. 

 

The second option for sure.

 

WYR have 3 1280x1024 17" monitors OR use a single 29" ultrawide monitor?

29 inch ultrawide because I have one right now and it's actually pretty beastly for the price I purchased at.

 

I've only read through the first half of the fourth page, so sorry if I ask a question that has already been asked before... but:

WYR 2 RX 480s in crossfire with a g-sync monitor, or a single GTX 1080 with a freesync monitor (all other specs for the monitors are held constant with each other)?

I'm an AMD fan, but I'd be an idiot to take crossfire 480's over a 1080. Higher tier single card over dual mid range cards all day, I can do without using g-sync/freesync.

Now WYR have the most glorious looking pc ever constructed with mid range hardware, or the absolute ugliest pc imaginable with top end hardware? Just solely aesthetics, all hardware works as intended.

Give me a beige box from the 90's. I'll throw it in a closet and run a display port cable to a beautiful 34 inch curved ultrawide monitor or 2... or 3 daisy chained with thunderbolt cables. That way my non-techy friends would enjoy watching movies and I would be able to run nice games in silence. I would also be somewhat saved from waiting on programs to compile and SolidWorks simulations wait times.

 

WYR The most epic gaming PC in the world, but with one profile and the whole family/friends have full access to it (family computer, not just yours) or a best buy box from 2012 with the best privacy setup you can imagine.

Epic PC with a single user 'cause if Microsoft is spying on me why would I care about my own family spying.

 

Would you rather have the best Mac or the worst PC?

ez question, best mac. I can sell it and get like 50 million dollahs or use it and get better performance than the worst PC.

You missed the fact that its the families PC not just yours. If siblings or parents want to use it they may want to kick you off... that was part of what was built into the question, but I guess I didn't make it clear.

 

EDIT: Maybe you already factored that in, but it wasn't outlined in your response.

Writing with pen, because you can get those pens that rub out themselves, and you dont need to sharpen all the time.
