I wonder if we will see 3080s for $500 before year end.

One of the better 3080s there.

I have a pair of Powerbeats bluetooth headphones. When synced to a Windows 10 PC the audio stutters about once every 10 seconds. The BT receiver on the PC is an Iogear GBU421 bluetooth 2.0 device purchased in 2009. I am wondering if the bluetooth protocol is too old to function properly with...

For anyone shopping right now I recommend carefully comparing the prices across models. For instance, I just checked and a 3070 FE is available at Bestbuy for $500 but could find no 3060 ti models below $500. Obviously the 3070 is a better GPU.

Just the credits, and they do not even let you enter initials for a high score. Still, it was such an achievement that we immediately left the arcade. Had to leave the place on a high point, lol.

So I was off on vacation for a couple of days with the wife. We went into a video game arcade in Santa Cruz, CA. Now, I had already played SF2 and SF 4 in the past, the latter on Xbox 360. So of course I knew the basics (combos, specials, super specials, etc). I managed to beat the game with...

Final price only 720, is this correct?

Not to get off topic but since people are commenting on Newegg being an unethical seller. Watch these for background info. I have never had a negative experience with newegg but have a family member who did.

GPU prices are so volatile right now, wow.

Yes it appears that Newegg quickly changed the price.

Same here, good graphics card from an excellent company EVGA.

How about some benchmarks? I was in the market for a 6700xt, but lucked out and got a 3060 ti instead. EVGA queue, only took about a year!

We have a 51" Samsung plasma TV, model number pn518500, and base model PS4. It was a great TV back in the day and still works fine. Since PS5, and even PS4 Pro, produce images at higher than 1080p, I was just wondering if this reduces the picture quality. In other words, do you need a 4K TV...

The excellent Forza Horizon games have raised the bar on what I expect from arcade racing games. They are light years ahead of where Need for Speed is in just about every area.

I thought they we were all excellent as well. Lots of bugs and crashes on Bioshock 2, though. And this was across multiple systems. And both the original and remastered Bioshock 2 ran poorly for me, buyers beware.

Need for Speed 2015 PS4. Grade D (below average). Not much to like in this racing game. Graphics are awesome, really nice reflections on the wet ground. Lots of car customization. If you pay attention they even brought back a few songs from the very first need for speed game which was nice...

I think not. Used to be upgrading every 2 years, but the S20 Plus is holding up well. It seems the pace of innovation and improvement in smartphones has slowed down.

I like how GN timestamps the videos so that you can skip to the parts that you care most about.

Shout out for Paul's Hardware YT channel.

"...let’s face it, hardly anyone is going to read this entire piece anyway." Who else read the whole thing like me?

While it is informative to read these threads in order to learn about the causes of the GPU prices the truth is that nobody knows where the prices will go next. People have been speculating about this topic for years. I believe prices will someday normalize but have no idea when this will...

+1, GOTY.

I have a client whose 2011 Macbook Air no longer boots. It gets stuck on the white screen and the boot sound repeats. I have already tried getting help from Apple support by trying things like holding apple and R keys during boot to get into some sort of recovery mode, fails. So, the plan is...

Strategy games in general. Can be turn based or RTS. The original idea was to play Axis and Allies online, but I suggested finding something else with more modern graphics.

Happy new year all. I am forming a small gamer group with some family members. We tried Startcraft 2 since it has good reviews and has coop for 2-4 players. However, we could not figure out how to play it as we have no experience with the SP mode. Also, I am on Windows and at least one other...

Excellent new year's news. Happy new year Kyle!

Same here, apparently the Tomb Raider games are still popular.

I heard the game has a recap video that will get players up to date with the story, so no need to research 1 and 2 elsewhere.

Yes, I had to wait a while even though the game was in the shopping cart. Just completed the purchase a moment ago. Anyway, I think Epic is switching games everyday. So folks may want to keep an eye out since free games appear to be expiring at the end of each day.

https://www.gamesradar.com/thrustmaster-t248-review/ Summary: a mixed belt and gear driven FFB steering wheel that competes with the Logitech G923. Pros: pedals, strong and smooth FFB. Cons: loud paddle shifters, too much plastic. Overall, looks a bit better than the G923 that it is...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/165158158580 Waited about a year in the EVGA queue for a 3060 ti, so 1070 is no longer needed.

So, I went into the GeForce experience to see what it recommended for F1 2018. This is on a 3060 ti and 2560x1080 100hz monitor. It said optimum resolution is 3620x1527 DSR. Does this mean GeForce experience thinks that the 3060 ti GPU is basically too powerful for the monitor's native...

Just curious what people's plans are regarding the Windows 11 upgrade. I have a desktop and laptop, both compatible with the new OS. But I wonder if it would be best to wait for more patches before taking the plunge. On the laptop Windows update is listing the 11 update as optional install.

Pendragon you were right.

Update, changed the bios advanced setting to firmware TPM. Windows Update still says that the PC doesn't meet Windows 11 requirements. However, when I ran PC Health Check it says the fine will work with Windows 11. I am going to assume the PC Health Check result is correct and the other is...
