What would YOU like to see in the PC community?

[CrippledROBOT]

Hi everyone!

 

If you could have your way, what are the top three things that YOU would like to see in the PC marketplace/community/online (other than lower GPU prices)?

 

Example: an innovative successor to NCIX, higher resolution displays with high refresh rates, etc.

 

 

What do you all think?

Probably going to be said again and again but cheaper ram pricing as it's getting insanely expensive

Cheaper stuff that's equally good as those currently out there. Leave the newer and faster stuff for the crazy people who can pay a lot for them.

You'd think that these higher prices would drive manufacturers to increase production. I can't really find a clear answer as to why it has risen over the past few months.

Because it would make fucking sense. 

[ARikozuM]

Less expensive NVMe drives and more superultrawides like Samsung’s.

Proper bloody support for 21:9 resolutions in games.

Yeah only few reasons I have heard is that phone manufacturers are using production lines and cheaper CPUs to get into ddr4 and lastly the ssds using the fast storage

I want a single video card good enough for high refresh rate 4k now that asus is making a high refresh rate 4k monitor.

I've heard that from a few sources actually! BUT, I've also heard various sources say the (primarily DDR4) is different enough that it shouldn't be the primary culprit (https://www.extremetech.com/computing/263031-ram-prices-roof-stuck-way) 

 

It's definitely interesting. I remember when you could pick up a 16gb kit for like 80 USD!

Hopefully Volta will bring that! Though it doesn't seem like NVIDIA is planning on doing this. I believe some info leaked on this and I noted that their stock price took a dump after this

Better cable management

Once you go NVMe you can't go back! Someone else mentioned better support for ultra-wide in games. That would be amazing!

Did I hear RGB!?! I think that would cause at least a 45% cooling increase.

At LEAST a 10-15% Cinebench score improvement!

Need for Speed Underground 2! With the state of EA these days, I actually don't doubt it happening at some point... Just worried about them cooking the goose and throwing micro-transactions every which way

Thats why I specifically mentioned Remaster, not remake

You know they'd still find a way to inject micro-transactions!

4k 120hz VA or IPS at $5-600 

GPU to drive many games at that pace for $700

 

obviously cheaper the better but Realistically im talking something in the next few years.

 

4k60hz  VA and IPS panels are in the $4-600 28-32" range which is nice to see. 

 

Or even how some 4k 60hz tvs can do 1080p 120hz ( Very few do this but it exists) Wish my 4k 60hz was able to for some games.

Halo 6 on PC

Halo 5 pn PC

 

Halo MCC on PC

 

the way Microsoft is going, its only a matter of time

Windows 10 to stop sucking.

More ram channels on consumer level CPUs.

Consumer priced multi-CPU mobos.

Is this talking about the community or the industry? Because I'm seeing conflicting things here.
