    Performance per watt/value proposition, GPU upgrade question.

    Different strokes for different folks. AMD idle at high power, and have high power consumption generally. Cheaper overall, but cost/benefit isn't there imo. The 4080, considering existing monitor tech, is placed well price wise for the market. It's a 4k card, which can consistently deliver...

    I think the card to buy at the moment is the 4080, as they will be trying to clear inventory for the 4080 supers

    Performance per watt/value proposition, GPU upgrade question.

    Personally I would be looking at the 4080/4080s, I don’t think anything lower is a 4k card

    Performance per watt/value proposition, GPU upgrade question.

    I have no doubt as to your electronics prowess. The lack of information I had was not knowing you had a DC line to the batteries, so without that, naturally my opinion would be to go with the simplest solution for the average consumer. That said, it doesn’t invalidate my other points re intel...

    Performance per watt/value proposition, GPU upgrade question.

    Of course I have a different opinion to everyone :) A good 550-650W PSU won't be bettered by a picopsu at 250-300W - no matter how you slice it. Picopsus are great for up to 100W or where you need a small wattage machine in a small space, but their regulation is poor and once you creep up...

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    Less true is correct, but I would still struggle to tell the quality difference in isolation between “very good” to excellent. If I am listening to excellent all the time then hear very good, very good doesn’t sound as good. But if I listen to them in the opposite order, then generally...

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    There is good, and there is amazing, and the difference between the two in terms of price is huge, but the difference in sound is not. I have a set of logitech gaming x pro (original not rev 2) and they're very good for the price, as is the mic/included software. Are they amazing music...

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    My base recommendation is a topping d10s, they have very high quality components, and the sound out of them is very good, if not excellent. They need an amp or amped speakers.

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    My point is you don’t need a fancy cable. If you don’t have those issues, then the cable you are using is fine.

    Sound card vs. USB DAC

    Long usb cables won't cause degraded sound. It's digital. If there is interference, you may notice drop outs, pauses or such while sync is being dropped and re-established. I use a 5m USB extension for my UPS for that reason - if it drops out and takes a second for it to re-establish it's not...

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    Pumping 100W through small gauge wire is possible, with high voltage 200v x 500mA =100W :) Unfortunately most amps run 24/48V typically in my experience. That said 50W out of most decent speakers is well and truly loud enough for the vast majority of people.

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    As an electronics engineer - unless you're pumping huge wattage (at low voltage) into speakers, you don't need massive wires. At reasonable volume levels, you're nowhere near the limits of even standard cat 5/6 wires on the majority of speakers/amps.

    Why not sell 3090?

    A lot of 3080 and 3090 cards suffered "cheap parts" problems due to covid. Over the last year, some have failed. Gigabyte and Asus are most affected. This is why a lot of them are getting sold.

    When to replace that older AIO?

    I still think the 360 is strictly better than 280 mm due to volume of coolant. On my 13900k I have the “average” temperature of the processor over 30 seconds change the speed of the fans/pump as even a little flow is enough to keep things cool, then slowly ramp up as more heat is produced. It...
