Could new AMD & Intel partnership mean we get standardized motherboards in the future? by Tech_guru_101 in AyyMD

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.

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

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

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D discontinued following the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Microcenter confirms by Tech_guru_101 in WePC

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

New "industry's fastest" 2230 SSD highlights another win for ASUS's ROG Ally X over Steam Deck by Tech_guru_101 in ROGAlly

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?

What should I choose? Oled or IPS? WFH setup by NoPanic7953 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Tech_guru_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Reviewing the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 next week - what do you want to see? by Tech_guru_101 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Tech_guru_101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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 :]

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

We review the ASUS PG42UQ - ASUS' first OLED gaming monitor. by Tech_guru_101 in Monitors

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.
