    Slow data transfer speed Android to PC?

    I understand that fastest most efficient way is USB C but sometimes i need to transfer just a single video I shot and it's much more easier to do it wirelessly via ES Browser as connecting the phone via USB C and waiting for 500 thumbnails to load in windows browser so I can locate that 1 file...

    Asus Prime X470-Pro or MSI Gaming Pro Carbon?

    The Asus Prime X470-Pro doesn't have 5V addressable header. It has 2 x 12V RGB headers. Is the addressable header for accessories like RGB fan? Using the 12V header I am guessing I can connect an RGB strip and control colors using Asus Aura. The addressable can be used with maybe AIO cooler or...

    Need some advice for new case

    Ya looked at some Lian Li as well, most of them are bigger in size and around $200. I can see the difference paying $100 extra for more RAM, CPU, GPU, but I don't understand how paying that much is going to help my build in performance or aesthetics. Thing is with Mid Tower cases, it's super...

    General noob motherboard questions for AMD Ryzen build

    Thanks for the links. Just finished reading the threads. Seems like the problem was with Ryzen chips on Linux under heavy compilation loads. I will be using Windows and video editing is the only taxing thing for the CPU that I would be doing. gaming won't be that taxing as Vega 64 will be taking...

    Hi, I am looking to build a new PC. Right now debating between going ITX vs mITX. Current PC is Dell 8900 so I like the reasonable size. I am looking at Ryzen 7 1800x and B350 motherboards. I see many new MBs have RGB connector. My question is does having a RGB connector mean it's RGB sync...

    Need advice regarding Ryzen CPUs

    Very good point. Will try disabling cores in BIOS. Another thing I will need is 32GB RAM coz rendering and previewing videos while editing eat up a lot of RAM. 16GB feel like 4GB when I previewing stuff.

    I still have the GTX 745, 1TB WD green lying around from when I purchased the Dell and a EVGA GS 550 Gold lying around that I was thinking of putting in the Dell PC before selling it. No way I will sell that Vega 64, and SSDs with Dell . Realistically i might get a few 100s for it. With core...

    Vega 64 power supply question

    I am looking at 750W seasonics too now. They seem to have lower fan noise around 20db compared to EVGA 35db. Also what's funny is Seasonic website "which power supply u need" is telling me to get a platinum 550W after I put in all my PC components. EVGA is telling me to get 550W Gold with all...

    Ok thanks. I am looking at the EVGA supernova 750W G2 gold+ I like EVGA silent mode when the fan didn't kick in at all during normal usage. Will I be able to overclock using 750W. I am thinking of I am getting a new power supply it might as well be able to overclock the card. Keeping that...

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56

    Ya lucky for me I waited. The Sapphire silver Vega 64 Is $512 at newegg. I backordered, am willing to pay $12 more for the silver over black since I don't have to pay tax , although my casing doesn't have a window lol..... If they can't ship in next few days i'll cancel and get the black one for...

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56

    The 1070Ti is selling for around $440ish from Nvidia. I would recommend Vega 56 or 1070Ti. Also u probably already know that fast processor and fast SSD help alot in video editing too. So look into those if you don't already have.

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56

    Thanks. That's exactly my school of thought. I am going from 2x27" 1080p to 38" ultrawide. 34" didn't seem big enough in store. There isn't any 38" ultrawide G-sync on the market. I am guessing if we had one it would be around $1800. Everyone here has told me to get Vega with Freesync monitor...

    Totally agree, card is beautiful. Is Sapphire better, more recommended over Powercolor? I haven't heard of Powercolor before? Thanks

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56

    Unfortunately no monitor to my knowledge is 38" ultra wide with G-Sync. Even if there was it would cost something like $1800 coz G-Sync monitors have a hefty price. Going from 2x27" 1080p monitor, 34" ultrawide didn't seen big enough when i saw it in store.

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56

    ok Guys I've decided to go with Acer XR382CQK (it has freesync). Now do u guys recommend $499 Sapphire Vega 64 or should I get MSI GeForce GTX 1080 with free (Destiny 2) for $469 after MIR. Let me know what u guys think. Thanks

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56

    I was assuming that I wouldn't get tearing with 1080 since it's a pretty fast card. Thank you for clarifying this for me. The newegg MSI deal is a killer, only thing holding me back is freesync on Vega 64 for $499.

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56

    I see quiet a few ppl selling their codes on Ebay. They mention in their listing that as long as one has 1080/1080Ti they code will work for destiny 2 and their NVidia card.

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56

    The prices of 1080 and Vega 64 are under $500 which brings it closer to 56 and 1070Ti price. So am thinking about those 2 atm. Do u think freesync advantage will matter if i end up getting the 1080, or is 1080 strong enough to make sure no tearing occurs? Thanks.

    Choosing Between GTX 1070 or Vega 56
