re: PC Discussion - Gaming, Performance and Enthusiasts

I checked around christmas last year and couldn't find much. Ended up going with the Dell G sync one.

Almost bought the same monitor and a rtx 2080 last week for $700, but decided to spend more than that pokemon cards instead

I'll make more money off the pokemon cards rather then going SLI 2080s

Ah yes, the ol' price gouge the incel trick. I approve.

Also confirmed Zen 3 design is complete for 7nm+ next year.

VA panels suck dick.

Gross over-generalization, there are good and bad IPS, VA, etc... panels.

For whatever reason a few years ago things like "IPS has better colors than VA" myths got spread around. Go into the TV/AV world and those enthusiasts would laugh at a comment like that. There are VA panels now with super fast response times and much less motion blur than what gave them that bad rep years ago.

I actually prefer VA due to the super deep blacks you get compared to IPS. You give up some viewing angles to IPS but it's irrelevant unless you're staring at a huge monitor up close and the edges are a bit of a ways away from viewing head on which at that point can affect color shift/contrast.

Some of the top 10 gaming recommendations on rtings.com use VA panels and have response time/motion blur rivaling those IPS paneled monitors.

Sorry, I should have said specifically that mine sucks dick.

Ryzen 5 3600x $249
MSI B450 Tomahawk $99

all you'll need is a flashdrive. i did this 3 weeks ago with my new build.

once you do it for the first time this way, you shouldn't have to update it again in the same fashion. you should be able to go into the BIOS and update it there. the video above should show that.

I’ve wanted to be in situations like that but I’m not very social IRL. Every time I walk into a store, this is how I feel....

I didn't want to do it in front of the Best Buy employee because I'm not a dick, but that advice he was giving was seriously awful.

He's got to sell the shite in his store. That's his job. If he is telling customers to go buy shite not in his store, he's doing a bad job.

It sucks selling shite like monster cables to people, but I wanted a paycheck back in my Best Buy days, so I did what was necessary. Doesn't mean I didn't know I was taking advantage of people who didn't do their research. I say blame the customer.
