    AOC Announces Its New Essential E4 Monitor Series

    +1 I'd appreciate that a lot, however I'd appreciate even more manufacturers stop using 1080p on 27" for business monitors. Price on the 27e4u is €170 locally.

    Do you still use Antivirus software on your latest hardware?

    As an average Joe, I have always been confused by the AV scene. Currently I have a 1-year subscription for Bitdefnder AV for 3 PCs and this is what I am rocking at the moment. However, when the year is over, I am unsure if I'd extend or switch to another AV or just be with Defender. So different...

    NVIDIA Becomes First Company Ever to Hit $4 Trillion Market-Cap

    I think you need a hug....chillax man :) You kidna forget there is a second hand and refurb market out there. I've never owned a new GPU in my life, so I can't play AAA? My RX6800XT I got recently has something to say about it. Gaming has never been easier.....even on a tight budget. You get a...

    NVIDIA Becomes First Company Ever to Hit $4 Trillion Market-Cap

    That is phenomenal honestly......as of Q1 / 2025, they have 92% market share on desktop GPUs. That is as close to monopoly as you can get I guess. I'd be curious to see the workstation numbers, but if you use Adobe pretty much all advice on forums/Youtube is "get an Nvidia card". Credit...

    Well for one USB-C is not yet populated in the budget segment. Yes, this case has a very common layout, but knowing Chieftec the case will probably have a nice price point. And two, there are still feature-combos to be made :D

    4K Youtube video GPU usage

    @Youseethis, you are absolutely right, it was the video codec. I just learned something new. Thank you. Attaching screenshots. I got the wattage right though:) With the video playing is 50W, with just idling on the desktop is ~15W.

    4K Youtube video GPU usage

    +1 as @Frick . @Youseethis , you just blew my mind :D OK, I will check all this when I get home, but I assume you are 100% right and my literacy wasn't enough :) @Macro Device , most of the time you don't need it. I mean I think, it's quite wasteful to have 4K cooking videos for example :D. All...

    Two monitors with display port - > models listed in my signature I tried Edge and Opera, both are basically Chromium and it was the same. I guess I could try with Firefox and Brave or LibreWolf?

    3D Printer Club

    Where is the fillament stored? What kind of spool holder are you using? Usually from my tiny experience, it's either: - batch of filament ain't right - spool has been exposed for too long/ not stored when not printing - your routing ? - are there sharp turns, excessive strain on the filament...

    4K Youtube video GPU usage

    Greetings all, I can't post a screenshot now, but I can put in words. So yesterday I left open the windows task manager at the resource tab, just to check out some game usage. After that I played a 4K video on Youtube and the GPU usage for my RX6800XT was about 68%. Am I reading this right...
