What is going to be your next tech upgrade? just curious :)

I was thinking of trying out IEMS since I've heard good things about them. I don't know much about them besides that they provide good audio, but I want to try them out.

 

[bonehead123]

Well, my warp reactor is long overdue for an upgrade at Starbase 3173.58 next week, but the mfgr is covering that under it's extended warranty program, so it won't cost me anything, so other than that, I'm gonna be building a new, top of the line gamin rig for my son next week (which he is paying for with his tax refund)......hehehehe

 

[Scattergrunt]

New GPU to better fit my CPU me thinks. (been waiting on GPU's to release to buy a used one when the used market gets flooded, though I didn't expect that bad of stock unfortunately) After that ? Probably a new mouse or monitor tbh.

 

[Onasi]

Theoretically, I am up for a GPU update. Don’t NEED it, but it IS time. In practice, the market is so fucked that I am not sure I want to participate in the clownery. So, eh… nothing else jumps to mind as a need. Maybe will crack open the case and replace/add several of the fans. But I already have them on hand, just too lazy to get around to it. Might replace the thermal paste with a TPM pad on the CPU too. Otherwise, probably would end up buying another mouse or pad to add to the endless tryout that I have going on. Definitely less stressful on the wallet than buying an RTX 5050 for 690 dollars or whatever is the going rate for GPUs nowadays. God, it helps that I abandoned AAA gaming years ago. Can just ride out the hardware I have however long it serves me.

I've bought a few pairs of cheap TANGZU Wan'er IEMs. The sound is hard to explain, it's like you can hear every instrument clearly at the same time, it's nice. And these are just the cheap models, I wonder how much better the expensive models sound.

 

[Macro Device]

Not that I NEED it but I want a 4K display because my display had been handed to my bro and I'm currently left with a 1080p panel which rocks for gaming (got no time for that) but sucks for my writing work (of which I have plenty to do).
Also want whatever RTX GPU faster than my 6700 XT with more than 10 GB so might as well invest into a 2080 Ti as it's the cheapest GPU of such a manner. This will make my game development process more elaborate.
And I wouldn't mind getting an i9-13900, they're going for batshit low prices, can't care for AMD CPUs at this point.

[Sithaer]

Well I would like a GPU upgrade later this year but idk if its actually happening.
Prices are way too insane for my budget range and I don't want to upgrade to an older gen years old power hog card either. '4070 Super would be perfect for me but they are either gone or stupid priced, 5070 yeah even worse and the 5060 Ti sounds underwhelming already but I will wait for the reviews..'

Not that the current games I'm playing need it but I do plan on playing some heavy games too. 'I want to have a decent experience in Borderlands 4 at the very least cause I'm gonna play that game A LOT since I've been playing the serie since the first game'

 

[Noci]

Well, I feel an upgrade is not really necessary for me yet, but if the RX 9070 XT lands at the MRSP I will be really tempted to get one.

 

[tpa-pr]

Probably nothing at the moment, except some more storage for games? I'm very happy with my current build.

I might take a look at the UDNA cards when they're out. But they'd have to be quite a significant upgrade to give up my 7900 XTX

 

[Macro Device]

But they'd have to be quite a significant upgrade to give up my 7900 XTX

Is 50ish percent cooked enough? No way they offer more than that.

I wouldn't bother until 2030s in your shoes, Navi 31 can give reasonable performance at 1080p for a decade more.

 

[Ruru]

Storage, most likely. I may also get some RGB bling as well.

 

[Frick]

Literally nothing for the foreseeble future, aside a USB charger/BT thing for the car. Maybe a new switch for the mouse.

 

[Zazigalka]

For a reason

 

[eidairaman1]

9070/XT.

 

[RUSerious]

Same here. Outrageous prices for relatively small gains. My computer budget this year is $0.00 unless something breaks.

 

[Wirko]

One: Windows 10 L.T.S.C. for ~13 €. But I'm not seeing it any longer on regular offer by BestestDealz247365.com at TPU and other tech sites.

Two: I really want a 34" 3440x1440 ultrawide. No gaming, just work. However... at this size, I doubt I could adapt to a flat one, and I equally doubt I could adapt to a curved one. Do they make flexible monitors yet?

 

[steamrick]

Possibly better headphones. I like my DT 990 Pro, but I've got much better income now than when I bought those.
Or also a new computer case, if I ever get any suggestions in my topic or come across one that I really like

Or if I talk myself out of buying those, probably whenever a monitor based on the upcoming 5120x2160 40" OLED Panel comes out


What I really don't see myself doing is PC internals upgrades. They're as good as I want them to be for the forseeable future.

 

[Dr. Dro]

My RTX 5090 is finally coming in. So it's time for an overhaul over here. Upgrading my cooling, adding more storage, rebuilding the PC

 

[JulLe]

No idea really. Don't feel like upgrading the platform, recently got 240Hz 4k OLED and not upgrading the 4090. Waiting for something to break

 

[AUTOEXEC.BAT]

It depends on my situation.

I think the second videocard in my HP Z400 is dying. About half a year ago it was a Nvidia Quadro K4000, now an AMD Firepro 7000.

So,
1. New videocard, or
2. New Ryzen system with better videocard.

As long as the videocard has 3 or 4 GB VRAM, and 3/4 DP connectors, i'm happy.

 

[InfaRedd]

I bought a RX 7900 XT brand new for $649, and the price after my trade in it will be $289. Plus got Monster Hunter Wilds bundled with it. So I say solid deal. Also, does a case count? If so, I also bought the Montech King 95 Pro.

It's my birthday today so I'm kind of splurging.

 

[Bagerklestyne]

Toss up between a new phone (probably waiting for a pixel 10), new watch (Garmin Enduro 3 is the front runner), and a 9070XT

All about the same cost.

Don't need to upgrade my vid card 6800XT (it's 4 and a bit years old) but I want to, mostly to access some new performance and FSR4.

 

[Hyderz]

Hopefully next year but depending on a few factors, the games I play, the price to performance parts (especially gpus) hopefully is worthwhile to upgrade. My system is from 2018 but still run games beautifully near ultra and if it doesn’t I will just drop a few settings and it still looks great.. I play at 3440x1440

 

[nguyen]

I'm waiting for 42in 4K 240hz OLED screen to come out, anytime now
