The 16:10 monitor would have less space as 1440p at that aspect ratio technically means 2304 x 1440 vs 16:9 and 2560 x 1440, but valid point, that does make a difference. Also, looking at the the original review for that particular monitor, there's this line: "At 32 inches in the 16:9 aspect...

"This 32-inch monitor offers plenty of vertical screen real estate without the need for scrolling and 1440p resolution" ... Wait what? Is the author implying the monitor size in inches has any impact on how much fits on the screen? Because that's solely determined by the resolution. A 16in...

3 generations and 4 years later this barely matches the used GTX 1070ti I bought at a bargain from an Etherium seller after that crashed, plus I couldn't buy it even if I really wanted RTX support that badly. Kinda depressing. Card still works btw and powers my Valve Index setup, don't believe...

I've always been curious about building my own cooling system. It's just too bad I could rebuild the cooling system in my CAR for less. Truly a seller's market.

Because why wait until the 9th to break my favorite apps?

Ryzen? Well shoot, that's as big a divide as AMD vs Nvidia. Neat trick though.

Ah yes, from the author of that "Why Using an Ad Blocker Is Stealing" over on Tom's Guide a few years back. Those ad blockers must not be hurting you too bad if you can afford an RTX 2080, and justify it with what is essentially "live a little!"

"The crypto craze has finally petered out as the price of cryptocurrencies plunge at coin exchanges, and the sudden drop in demand has surely had a role in reduced graphics memory pricing." And a flood of cheap, used video cards on the second-hand market. Got a perfectly functional GTX 1070 TI...

On 25mbps Centurylink DSL. Youtube streams just fine. Cry me a river.

A gimmick, but what a gimmick. Definitely nice on the eyes.

"Running your favorite SNES title on your laptop seems like harmless fun…until you find out that you’re probably breaking the law." Two problems with this sentence: I'm DEFINITELY breaking the law, and it's still harmless fun.

I don't know, Techy1966. At that point, it's a question of how difficult the bypass is to use. If it's any harder than "trivial", then you're still protected against casual attempts, which is to say the vast majority of them.

No, I highly doubt you can hear the difference between a high bitrate MP3 and "high resolution" audio, even with $500 headphones. I don't think Rick Rubin could hear the difference. I think that's a load of taxpayer-funded post-purchase rationalization. But what do I know? I listen to music on a...

@Jaber2 "Good for Nintendo, they let people profit from their IP for too long" Well as long as you're just angry at the websites making ad revenue from distributing ROMs, and not the millions of end users of said ROMs. Not like they're doing any harm anyway. Can't steal what Nintendo isn't...

GTX 1070? Why not GTX 1070 Ti? The price difference is negligible but the performance difference is not.
