    Don't fret or fear frame generation. I used it in Warzone, in ranked play, hitting 290 FPS with my old Zotac RTX 4090 Amp Extreme, on my 45" LG OLED Ultragear 240hz monitor, and I was hitting all my shots. I'm currently ranked Crimson. No issues. Edit, I finished the season as Crimson, Season...

    I actually totally agree with this assessment. I heard that Galax ( formally Galaxy ) is getting back into the GPU game. I would go crazy over an "Abit" branded GPU, if that ever happened. One of my favorite brands. Asus has former Abit engineers and managers working for them these days, I've...

    Who is camping out for the 5090?

    Back in the mid and late 1990s, I was a huge Amiga guy, and met a lot of really cool people off BBS's, and then IRC in the early 90s. I ended up being asked to ship Pee-Cee hardware to Norway, the UK, even Germany, maybe one or two other countries, and I did, over a period of 3 - 4 years, I'm...

    I asked the store manager at our local Microcenter about this new 10% tariff, the other day when I very luckily, was able to purchase a RTX 5090, after waiting in line for 45+ hours at the Overland Park, Kansas Microcenter location, and he said that the 10% will have a trickle-down effect, and...

    I ended up building a huge L shaped butcher block computer desk ( 16 foot ) and over time, with all the room, decided to add monitors. Have a VA, IPS and OLED. OLED is king, but the VA I have has better blacks / contrast than the IPS. I prefer the VA, not that I use it for much other than...

    When you suggested a small refurbished monitor with a 90 day warranty, along with worse reviews than the one I listed, you definitely hit it on the head with the "you do you" comment. That's terrible advice in my opinion, so much so, I am not even sure you are being serious here? But you do you...

    Our Microcenter has like 40 - 50 of these RTX 3050's in stock at $400 to $500 .... guess what, the RTX 3060 is cheaper in some cases. No one is buying these RTX 3050's. I have a feeling the prices will drastically fall on these shortly.

    He is right, I have the 55" CX in my 2nd bedroom. It's a great set. I just recently sold my 55" C9 for $750 I think. The C9 CX and C1 are all great displays.

    Yes, they make some very beefy arms for this type of application. Start looking for arms to hold 55" to 65" and go from there. They are kinda pricey, $100+ range if not more expensive. Just "over-engineer" you search and you will be good.
