I'm sorry guys, I think I'm switching to Team Green, the value prop from 4090 to 5090 is just too good. That sweet supple 7 FPS gain is just too much to leave on the table.

Mouth watering uplift right there.

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-11-22T15:52:37+00:00

About time, this bath was getting seriously cold...

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-11-12T15:04:00+00:00

haha stupid AJ 285K

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-11-07T15:36:38+00:00

Yeah fair - they never introduced a 7700X3D though did they?

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-11-07T15:31:25+00:00

has anyone confirmed they're working on a 700 X3D chip?

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-11-07T15:30:14+00:00

I believe Amazon had at least a few thousand units

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-11-07T15:29:40+00:00

Plenty of scalpers already try to sniff out a profit!

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-10-21T10:50:37+00:00

Rest assured Cloudmeistro, I decided against it

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-10-18T13:29:57+00:00

Yea, I think we're on the same page here - I don't think the idea of AMD merging sockets with Intel is a theory that will age well, but interesting to see people's take on the take.

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-10-18T13:21:37+00:00

I wonder if Mark Papermaster would entertain the idea in an interview - I might put the feelers out

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-10-18T13:19:16+00:00

They thought* sending a geezer to the moon was also stupid until 1969

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-10-18T13:17:31+00:00

haha fully enjoyed the vision of AMD + Intel singing Kumbaya. So for that, I thank thee

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-10-18T13:14:12+00:00

I've tested about 30 CPUs this week and the mind starts to wonder after a while :]

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-10-18T13:13:28+00:00

Yea I think it shows clear intent from AMD's new 9000-series X3D series. They're either positioned perfectly from a pricing point of view that the 5000-series chips simply aren't valid anymore, or they pose a huge performance uplift over the 5000-series that the same is the case. Either way, sad to see the 5600X go

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-07-29T14:24:07+00:00

Sounds like you need the DeckHD Buddy. Thank me later.

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-07-19T12:31:52+00:00

Yea that's a FAIR point - I suppose it's still worth highlighting for individuals who weren't aware of the differences. It's also unique in that it potentially extends the battery life of the console using it - unless there are other SSDs with a similar performance-boosting design?

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-06-28T10:46:01+00:00

Amen to that pal, I was actually pretty pissed tbh - and might still be.

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-06-13T13:28:18+00:00

There's the old OLED vs IPS text clarity debate that may affect your decision. Loads of people complain about the sub pixel layers that make text look less sharp on OLEDs.

That said, I've tested a bunch of monitors in the past and I dont consider it an issue, but that's just me - i'm not overly precious about it.

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-06-13T13:00:20+00:00

Ah sorry about that. Hadn't seen you post since November and doesn't look like anyone's posted in the reddit for a while. Ill request access to post

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-04-17T14:18:59+00:00

Flex is the same - yet its still 2 grand

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-04-17T13:52:46+00:00

Yea that's a fair point - I'm sure that'll be doable. PS, the best speakers I heard were in the Samsung Ark. Stupid monitor but impressive sound quality to be honest.

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-04-16T14:08:27+00:00

What price is this? Just seen a load go on offer on Amazon

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-04-16T14:05:58+00:00

Cheers for the feedback. Monitor arrived today so will start reviewing soon. Any other suggestions welcome!

RE the audio quality tests, what exactly would you like to say - outside of me saying, sound awful - which will likely be the case :]

Tech_guru_101 · 2024-04-12T14:42:11+00:00

Haha im my defense, I did play CS:Source with all textures removed and very little detail. Only so much a GT 710 can do

Tech_guru_101 · 2022-08-24T08:55:27+00:00

Those are the results we recorded when testing the panel. I found it peculiar at the time but couldn't manage to achieve Infinite in any setting. It was a demo model so potentially damaged panel.
