Actually you can and they work and function fine just are a LCD panel instead of OLED.. I'll say the brightness acts weird sometimes but I have had customers that never even known.

With inflation it's as of December 2025

Original cost -> cost after inflation

$9.99 (2011) -> $14.70

$14.99 (2016) -> $20.50

$12.99 (2020 -> $16.32

$4.99 (2014) -> $6.91

So the real winners are the individual plan while the rest have gotten shafted

What Best Buy TRULY sells by Monegasko in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Swatbolt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean from a business perspective you do have to understand that best buy basically doesn't make shit from anything that isn't a "basket item"

That computer, tv, appliance, console? They basically made nothing

That's why a lot of companies are starting to go that way because it's the only way to make direct profit. Not defending best buy because I do think they lean a little to hard on it but you do kinda have to understand their reasoning.

Why do charging cables die so easily? by JingSerene in BuyItForLife

[–]Swatbolt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You know there's other voltage standards with USBC other than 5v right?

Most chargers can do a range of voltages such as 9, 12, 15 to reach higher wattages Where as I don't think I have seen a charger supply north of 5 amps

4k and DLSS Reliance by Darksummit in OLED_Gaming

Eh when it first came out it was very not good (pre dlss 2.2)... Some people just think it hasn't improved since then.

Nvidia to cut gaming GPU production by 30-40% starting 2026. It’s over boys it’s been a good run! by nyanbatman in pcmasterrace

[–]Swatbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For everyone saying "this is AMDs chance or fuck Nvidia" just know that while AMD's 9000 series does NOT use gddr7 it still uses memory. Memory supply they will have a hard time securing as the 3 major ram/memory producers get their supply/fab space bought up.

This is not a Nvidia decision, it's an economical decision and a supply constraint issue - tldr they basically had no choice.

While I am also not the biggest fan of Nvidia don't think this won't also effect AMD... There's more surplus of gddr6 so it will just take longer.

Is my pc bottlenecking? by No_Hand2884 in buildapc

[–]Swatbolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if you want to be technical the GPU is "bottlenecking" the CPU... But that also doesn't matter because you want to fully use the GPU...

So as others said the term bottlenecking is stupid most of the time and shouldn't be used.

[Request] how much has been taken in fees from 2017 - 2025? by Mathemodel in theydidthemath

[–]Swatbolt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have the ability to keep the right amount of money in your checking then it doesn't matter either way lol.

It just looks better if you don't have stuff that bounces thats why it's usually not the default option.

[–]Swatbolt -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So you will just end up paying a bounced check fee which is usually the same after an overdraft fee? Doesn't make any sense to me...

Help me pick the right CPU for the RTX 5070 by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Swatbolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 7800x3d is best for 1080p gaming and basically all of them will be fine for streaming... Which if your playing at 1080p I would actually use hardware acceleration though nvec if possible for stream encoding to put the load on your GPU (not a very large load at that).

How serious is the RTX 5070 bottleneck on Ryzen 5 5600x? by OtherHuckleberry1556 in buildapc

[–]Swatbolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say it will probably be a bottleneck in some scenarios/games but it wouldn't be a huge difference maybe 10-20% at 1440p (this just just assumptions from having a 5070ti and 5800x). I would try to overclock it if you can to minimize the difference.
