    Question DDR4 3200 CL16 or DDR5 4800 CL40?

    I think he's being facetious. Saying that the choice is so obvious that it isn't even worth considering.

    Question Using a Radeon 7700 XT with Intel Quick Sync, versus an Nvidia 4070 Super ?

    This is a direct duplicate of a question I asked on PCPartPicker. I'm not confident this is allowed in the guidelines; please let me know if it's not. I know there's a fair bit of overlap, but I wanted to get feedback about it from both groups. Hi Guys! I've been struggling a lot with the...

    Question New PC Advice for Recording/Editing/Streaming 1440p60

I mostly play indie games that aren't very taxing like Satisfactory, Celeste, Stardew Valley, Minceraft, Neon White, Terraria, Slay the Princess, Outer Wilds, etc.. Though once in a while...

    Question DDR4 3200 CL16 or DDR5 4800 CL40?

    Question DDR4 3200 CL16 or DDR5 4800 CL40?

    Question DDR4 3200 CL16 or DDR5 4800 CL40?

    Hi, I'm making a computer for video recording/editing/streaming videogames at 1440p60. I think I've already decided on the cpu (i5-12600k) and gpu (7700xt), but I'm not sure which memory I should get. I'm still debating about overclocking or not, but for now, let's assume I won't be overclocking...
