My two cents here: WiFi 7 : if you don’t know what device you will need Wifi7, you probably don’t need it. By the time you really need it, it’s not an expensive fix (stick a Intel BE2xx on your board and call it a day) So, only use it as a deciding factor if you can’t decide on other features...

There's some talk on arcade racers here, so I gotta throw the actual amount of games I do weekly here. The awaited discount on Horizon Chase Turbo didn't happen, so I have to go a little bit deep with my old game catalog... Along with dealing with weekly contents on Forza Horizon 5, Forza...

Actually, both things are for my brother, so ... no, I guess? But it is a really really awesome monitor as long as the scene doesn't cause a drop the brightness / saturation. And nowadays budget 24" 1080p IPS are great bang for the buck. Probably the first time I heard about such products...

This one is not for mine, but my brother… a TUF 4070TiSuperSuperTi non-OC to upgrade from a 3070Ti which was unwittingly VRAM limited (on R6S + Bluestack, Bluestack will crash out very frequently on 3070Ti. Not on 4070TiSuper) The TUF model here is priced surprisingly competitively (~USD$900...

A tech tip man once posted…well that meme is already in this thread. Anyway… 2 hubs for a more convenient place to access the USB ports, one with a 60W PD port, which ended up a almost completely waste of money. I wanted a port that can do high power PD and connect to my PC at the same...

I was completely out of the market during that time period, but after 20X0 / 30X0 I have heard a lot of nerdy friends saying "the good ol' days of 1080". If only the pricing of 3080 was vaguely near its MSRP for its lifetime it would have been the GOAT... And, forgive this car analogy from a...

The Katana V2X (and V2) do have Bluetooth 5.0. To my knowledge, the Katana V2X and Stage V2 use what looks like the same subwoofer unit (same dimensions, rated 40W). The Katana V2X uses a smaller, more powerful main unit with a few more features and some subtle RGB. (600mm vs 680mm but with...

I looked at the Creative Pebbles X Plus review, think of myself “huh, that thing looks pretty okay for the review and I wanted to replace my speakers for a long time…” but then there is no way to grab one right now nearby. I looked a bit further, and I suddenly remembered I wanted a soundbar...

If the price is close enough then sure, why not, but 1200W is certainly a overkill. Assuming 5090 /5080 isn't going ham on power usage. If you have built your PC by yourself you should have a rough idea of how much space on the PSU bay do you have. Spec sheets and a simple ruler are your...

I utterly don't care about any NVIDIA features, so I voted 5%. My brother has more preference to high FPS, is more into ray tracing and is completely fine with DLSS, so he would be fine with 20~25%. A bit extreme difference, I know.

It took this long for us to notice there is a 4090... and @ OP you really shouldn't worry about pushing 4K with a 4090. If you intend to use the monitor with a much weaker GPU than 4090 that's a different story. I would stick an IPS 1440p >=144Hz and call it a day. So, this is what I would...

Ah, so that looks like a too late to the game thing. I will wait for a sale then. Bought Horizon Chase 2 on Humble. The next thing it did was link to Epic Game Store. Dang it. Imagine Top Racer 1 in 2023 as a mobile game, with a minimal amount of cosmetic microtransactions and that's pretty...

DAMN, that track rocked! I searched on Humble Choice and only found Horizon Chase 2 (on sale nonetheless). Gotta try that later. Can't find Turbo there. Maybe I'm too late to the game, or that's a regional thing. This is the first time I used Humble Choice ever. Maybe Turbo will get a sale on...

I know, and it's on my wish list on Steam. By the time I finished Top Racer Collection, Horizon Chase Turbo should be on sale, I guess...

Top Gear / Racer Collection, of all things. It's really 3+1 ROMs wrapped in an emulator wrapped in a Unity Engine (with SNES-like FPS for boot; would like if there's an enhanced mode with everything 60FPS), with a completely out-of-place menu, a quick race mode & time attack mode with online...
