For a work laptop used/refurbished can be a good deal (especially so if the battery is replaced) because business software mostly doesn’t require that much performance. For gaming used hardware is generally either so expensive you might as well buy new or so slow you might as well just buy a...

I’d go for a decent headset or a less power hungry gpu, cards like the 5090 will always have some coil whine and a noticeable cooler. Maybe a case with lots of padding and stuff? I’m using a silent base 802 that’s pretty good in that regard.

If the gpu is overclocked as you write the first thing I’d do is try to stress the system at stock speed. If that doesn’t give this issue your oc is likely too high.

If you’re able to and like to build your own pc that’s fine and will save you some money and give you a fun project to do. This is not for you (or for me for that matter) but at least it’s a pretty decent solution for those that just want a pre made pc instead of a overpriced or unbalanced or...

Something like this would be fair: at some point art becomes part of the public domain after the artists had a chance to profit from it. Eternal copyright shouldn’t be a thing.

I doubt you’d notice the difference between a 5700x3d with a 9070xt/5070ti and 7800x3d/9800x3d with the same cpu. Maybe a little when playing at 1080p because the gpu plays less of a role then, but still. On the other hand going to AM5 will give you a faster system and more of an upgrade path...

Nintendo should have given the switch a decent amount of local storage so you don’t have to carry a bunch of games around to play all your stuff. Or do you still need the physical copy to play even if you’ve installed the game on the switch local storage? Anyway if they’d made the switch more...

No, you’d be hard pressed to notice the difference between a nvme a few generations older and a 9910 for windows startup.

Here’s hoping the drivers actually work for 40-series cards

In this case it seems to work like that: Nintendo just assumed guilt without any investigation and it was up to the gamer to prove his innocence. Also I seem to recall people that weren’t white enough being put on planes without any due process to places they weren’t even from or had ever been...

There’s always something better right around the corner, that’s the curse of buying new hardware. The Intel seems the better choice for your purpose unless you need the AVX functionality or are one of those very rare people that actually upgrades their cpu. I think a lot more people like the...

3090ti is better of course but a 3080 is no slouch. I’d personally be inclined to replace the 3080 with something significantly faster and more modern somewhere down the line than to spend double the amount for far less than double the performance.

This is a fun way for the guy trying to build this to tinker a bit while being paid by other people, but it’s a really stupid idea. Just use nets or screens and make sure there no standing water in your garden. Lidars and lasers? Really? I mean it’s cool that he managed to build this but we...

Is look at what cpu performs best with the software you use and get the best one you can afford on your budget.

Well obviously the 5070ti but it’s also a lot more expensive. 5060ti is fine for 1080p and 1440p for now, but if you want to use RT and high refreshrates I’d get a 5070ti or a 9070xt.
