Speaking of keyboards, whats a good mouse?
I bought my kid one for Christmas (I have no idea what I'm doing) and he said the response wasn't as fast as his older one, which my wife got him from Amazon for like 6 bucks. He couldn't edit his Fortnite build fast enough as was getting smacked. I'd like to get him a good one.
ETA: He likes is current keyboard, so I'm cautious to get him another.

I just switched to a wireless Logitech g502 x lightspeed and I really like it. It’s as fast and responsive as being wired imo.

Every variation I’ve had of the g502 has been excellent.

The g502x lightspeed is super light. Weighs around 3.5 ounces total.

100g is heavy as shite for a mouse now

I was once in the crew, but I've seen the greener pastures

I hated my G502X until I got the ICE pads for it, night and day. Crazy how shitty the stock feet are on those things.

Just pull a goku and force yourself to use a super heavy mouse for like 3 months then switch to any lightweight mouse and it’ll feel great regardless of the actual weight

Exactly. I practice 12oz curls most nights and the 4 oz mouse hasn’t been a problem.

4070Ti Super embargo lifted today, and it's pretty much what people expected. It's slightly better than the original 4070Ti at the same MSRP. That puts it very slightly behind, but basically on par with, the 7900XT in pure raster while performing significantly (15-20%) better in RT. Prices on the 7900XT had started to creep up to around $750 after that initial drop in response to the 4070S, and I would expect this to push those prices back down to the $715 range.
Ultimately, a pretty meh card to join the rest of the meh GPU generation. Maybe the 4080S will be interesting next week, but I doubt it. My sights are firmly on next gen.
But as always, anyone actually in need of an upgrade, by all means buy a card this gen. They aren't bad; they're just boring and not worth upgrading to if your current card is "good enough".

The 4080S will only be slightly less meh because Nvidia kinda poked their head out of their asses and aren’t charging 12 freaking hundred for it.

Anyone here ever ran ncaa 14 on the ps3 emulator? I needed a new desktop for work and figured I’d get a low end gaming PC just to try it out (but can’t justify spending $1500, not a huge gamer)
Long story short, it came in today and the game/emulator ran like dog shite.
What’s the cheapest gaming PC that could run an emulator/ncaa 14 smoothly?

It’s a pretty demanding game, it was the final justification I needed to do an upgrade.
You could probably spend around 1k for a new build and have plenty of beef for it. Any interest in building or just looking at prebuilt options? Do you live anywhere close to a Microcenter or just Best Buy?

I haven’t run it, so I can’t answer specifics, but I’ll say that my understanding is that emulators are far more CPU heavy than GPU, which is good for keeping costs down.

No interest in building, would be looking for pre built. I’m assuming I wouldn’t be able to find one for under $1k that would run it smoothly

Very CPU heavy and still need a little something on the GPU side. I’m looking around.
