    Advice on GPU for AMD APU system

    Thanks for this very detailed post, very helpful. I found a deal on a 5060 16GB Ti OC priced nearly as a 9060, so I went with Nvidia. It’s a budget card, Inno3D. Comparing the clock speeds and such, I see some differences with PNY, MSI and other brands, but hopefully the build quality, coil...

    Do the ASUS ROG Strix QD-OLED coatings scratch easily?

    Specifically the 2025 models, not the new 2026 model, which isn’t yet available here. I’m eyeing the XG32UCDS and, in reading reviews, have come across users who complain that their screens have been scratched through normal cleaning. That’s a little concerning... What has been your...

    Advice on GPU for AMD APU system

    Many thanks for the suggestion. What about AMD? Could the Radeon RX 9060 XT also be an option? And should I avoid the 8GB versions? On a side note, would it be worth upgrading the CPU or is AM5 so far ahead that it's better to replace the entire system?
