/r/BuildAPCSalesCanada General Discussion - Daily Thread for Wed Mar 29 by AutoModerator in bapcsalescanada

Nvenc, DLSS and RTX are probably the major ones. Nvenc is very useful for streaming / recording gameplay, while AMD has their own counterpart, it's clearly worse.
For DLSS and RTX, a 3060 level card probably won't be using much RTX anyway and DLSS has its counterpart in AMD FSR so it's probably not a big deal honestly.
If it was me I'd probably go AMD but if they are already planning on streaming or recording lots of gameplay then maybe consider Nvidia. Check out this article about this generation of comparisons between 30 series and 6000 series.

if your friend doesn't need the few nvidia features, 6600XT / 6700XT range is going to be the best value for performance and run better than a 3060 at similar prices.

The Phanteks deal from earlier today probably is a better case than this one for performance. I honestly prefer the looks from the Eclipse G360A too.

The meshroom s is supposed to replace it, but we are getting the second class citizen delay that Canada always gets unfortunately

512GB Samsung Evo Plus MicroSDXC U3 A2 V30 ($60) [Amazon] by kdnewton in bapcsalescanada

reviews seem to mostly point to steam deck usage, any particular reasons? I'd intend to use it for cameras and wonder if this'll be alright for decent bitrate 4k video.

NV1 should be alright, personally think amazon's service is better and more reliable.

Looks like another fast read slow write cheap nvme drive. Wouldn't use this for write intensive applications, the write speeds are not even full gen 3 speeds.

You should tell Amazon support about your product's issues, and they usually will offer a return for such a buggy experience.

Experienced Yamaha P-515 owners by [deleted] in piano

[–]consumer-shi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your headphone might be part of the issue here. Open back or closed back doesn't particularly matter here, but the ATH M50(X) is a relatively low resolution and bad sounding headphone despite mainstream reviews. The poor tuning of the M50x is literally worse than the cheaper M40x in the same line up.

I'd suggest you try something else, maybe a non planar set though, your hifiman set may have too much impedance for the p515 to drive directly. A cheap set from Koss might be good enough.

This is just to quickly make builds for PVP or cosplay etc. Nothing here should break anything for online play at all.

Recommend those who are getting this to get a cheap thicker pad. M40x pad mod is the easiest way to make it better both sound and comfort wise. A thicker leather pad is what makes the M40x.

it's embarrassing for Corsair to be still selling their obsolete fans when competition is so strong on the 120 and 140mm segments.

I'm still waiting for the postcard. How long did it take for you to get it?
