Do you know how to turn a screwdriver and insert plugs into one another? That’s pretty much the process.

RasPI4 4GBs are selling 3rd party now for $120-$150.

This inflation is pricing me out of my favorite hobby, project SBCs.

If I have a PC budget of 1000 bucks, would I be able to have a Pc capable of running every game well? Hoping for at least 1080 p 120fps. I’d build my own to save money

3 years ago? Yes.

Now? Almost impossible because of the GPU shitshow.

Samsung shows world's first 4k 240HZ gaming monitor before CES

Damn. 32" MiniLED 4K 240Hz 2,000nit HDR panel.

Probably way overpriced I'm sure.

I think I'd grab it but I'm sure it'll be like $2,000 for a 32" screen. Never doing that.

Still think even the 43" LG OLED's coming this year are too big for me.

It would be hard for me to move up from 27" since I sit so close to the monitor

Ya prob so. I mount mine to the wall which gives more room and space from it.

32" is my perfect 4K size.

My 34" UW sits a grand total of about 20" from my face when I game. It's not uncommon for it to make me motion sick, depending on the game

P.S. frick (2013) Tomb Raider. I literally couldn't finish the damned thing with all the camera shake/sway.

Monitor tech getting wild. Samsung unveiled their 55" screen that rotates and has a scroll wheel for different dimensions and multitasking.

Looks great for productivity, but I'm not sure I trust it for gaming. I can't imagine that kind of thing plays nicely with variable refresh rates, etc. But I very well could be wrong.

Intel Xe Alchemist: Everything we know about Intel's gaming GPU

Intel Alchemist, previously known as DG2, could have an outside chance of competing with the best graphics cards around.


Looks like it is hoping to compete near 3070/6700xt at $579-$399.

I'll be surprised if I own an Intel card within the next decade, but I welcome them into the space, regardless. At this point, the fight is over three discrete points: power, energy consumption, and price. Having three competitors for three variables is good for the market.
