    Question NZXT 510, Corsair iCue 220T RGB, or Corsair Carbide 275R Airflow

    H510, hands down. It's one of the best cases for the price, good quality material and innovative features like a cable shroud. The other 2 are built with inferior materials and are more cramped, interior space wise.

    Florida GOP Voter Suppression Effort Poised to Backfire Spectacularly

    No, no. See, equal rights is only important to 'Cons when it's beneficial to their interests. This is one of the core tenets of the conservative brand: selective principles. Prediction: if there's any chance this will backfire on the GOP, soon the courts in those Republican counties will...

    Not even Israel wants any part of the Iranian Fiasco!!!

    Unlike deadbeat Donald, Israel has an actual strategy in regards to Iran. Said strategy does not involve an army invasion or mass bombing campaign. The Israeli strategy is preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons at all costs. If Donald wasn't a dumbass, he would take a page from Israel's...

    Question Significant gains with extra threads/cores (1080p): myth or reality?

    I'll rephrase: the segments show the exact same sequence played, not shot. Don't know how to play through the exact same sequence, 5 times. Most reviewers use benchmarking tools or rough areas of a game. My hypothesis stands if you're using a 1080p 60Hz monitor. Which most people do. But yes...

    Question Significant gains with extra threads/cores (1080p): myth or reality?

    The YouTube video description states user "Testing Games" is using a Ryzen 9 3900x/16GB 3600MHz system with a GTX 2080 Ti. It shows a 5 segment, horizonal split-screen of a handful of PC games running the exact same sequence side-by-side. Each segment contains a real-time core utilization, FPS...

    Question Significant gains with extra threads/cores (1080p): myth or reality?

    Maybe confirmation bias. I'm looking for evidence to disprove my assertion, and there's been scant presented so far. I presented 3 popular AAA PC titles with the resolution and average FPS in the image as clear as day, for all to see. One of those games (GTA V) still has tens, if not hundreds...

    Question Significant gains with extra threads/cores (1080p): myth or reality?

    I'm hearing outrage and denial, but so far no evidence or data has been presented to dispel or disprove my position. Honestly disappointed, was expecting more. I'll be hanging onto my i5-6600K and 1080p, no good reason to upgrade unless I want a higher resolution monitor.

    Question Significant gains with extra threads/cores (1080p): myth or reality?

    Post the data if you have it. The lazy argument with no facts or data presented is not a rebuttal of any standard or measure.

    Question Significant gains with extra threads/cores (1080p): myth or reality?

    There's a popular myth that extra threads/cores will result in significant performance gains for gaming at 1080p. I present to you exhibit A: Here we see from none other than our own Ian Cutress that in 3 games benchmarked at 1080p, there is less than 2% performance gain realized from 4...

    Question Helping a friend build a video editing rig. $1400 budget

    Thank you, I'm happy there's someone else who has the same setup we're aiming for! Would love to hear your honest assessment of the B450-F. Seems to be a best buy. Nothing much can beat it at the price ($120). I think the closest competition is the B450 Tomahawk and it lacks many of the features...

    Question Helping a friend build a video editing rig. $1400 budget

    Well it's a bit too late, he already pulled the trigger. I put that on him though, he kept saying he would look for storage options but he never did. Eh, what can you do. My main thing helping out was with motherboard, case, PSU, and quality/aesthetics. I mainly build gaming PCs, so I don't...

    Question Idk what to upgrade, g4560 + 1050ti. Need advice

    It's going to increase max FPS by 10-15%, reduce the minimum framerates, and make desktop/multi-tasking much smoother. eBay Buy It Now price history for the i5-6500 is $80-95. If you have $200 budget then you get a modern CPU and 1080p monitor first.

    Question Idk what to upgrade, g4560 + 1050ti. Need advice

    The biggest difference you'll see is 1) going to 1080p and 2) getting a proper quad core. Right now your biggest bottleneck is the G4560. You can get an i5-6500 for $70-80 and a second hand 1080p monitor for $75. That's going to make a huge difference. I would also upgrade to a 1060, it's...

    Question Helping a friend build a video editing rig. $1400 budget

    This is the final build we settled on: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4JF4gJ We ended up getting a 5400RPM drive after all because he wanted RGB effects and his budget was a little tight. He wanted a 6GB GPU and chose the MSI 1660 Gaming X. Eventually we got 2x NVMe drives, 500GB and 1TB. So...

    Question A B450 motherboard that actually works fine with Zen 2?

    That's what I thought, although I didn't know the exact dates and month. Thank you!
