The AnandTech forum: let it die

Been around since the beginning, sad to see Anandtech go. It was a fun way to communicate and trade parts in the early days. Life goes on.

Question Just bought Samsung AU8000 43" PS5 says TV does not support HDR (Help)

I am actually running a Samsung UN40JU6700 40" curved 4K from about 5 years ago as a monitor on my desktop, love its bright beautiful images.

When I said the AU8000 is on the low end, I did not mean it as a put down in any way. I love Samsung TV's and own 3 of their 4k's and none of them are high end. They all look amazing.

Looking for a long 1/8 to 1/4 cable that is durable where the plugs join the cable as get frequently bent there.

Use some heat shrink tubing to reinforce the problem area, slide it on and use a heat gun to shrink it down to a snug size.

Question Confused about SSD choice, DRAM needed?

DDR5 has been available at Best Buy online fairly often at about $300-310 for 32GB. I know it does not perform any or much better than DDR4 at this time but I wanted the latest technology going forward.

Question Confused about SSD choice, DRAM needed?

Thanks for the replies, I am getting up there in years and I am wanting to build a "final" high-end gaming capable machine with 12th gen I7 or 9, DDR 5 and hopefully an RTX 3080Ti (I've been on EVGA's waiting list since OCT 2020}. I'll be too old for gaming after this one is obsolete.

Question Confused about SSD choice, DRAM needed?

It has been about 4 years since I put together a new system and I know everything I want in it except for the SSD choice. I thought that DRAM on a drive was a necessity, but now I am wondering if it is and which drives have it. Any thoughts or experience on the matter?

A AS NEW Legit 1956 (not 1960+, 56 w/initials involved) JBL D130F (Fender rendition of the D130 from 46) For Mr Fender NOT LIKE ALL THE REST is worth?

Cool old speaker! I always heard the term "doped cloth" for the type of surround that is on this speaker, it is very durable.

Hi-fi Speaker Not Working Initally

If you have an analog volume control, it sounds like oxidation on one channel of the control.

AU8000 is on the low end of Samsung lineup, don't expect much out of it.

Question gpu frustration

I'm frustrated as well. I have had every 80Ti card from EVGA since the 780Ti, 980Ti,1080Ti, 2080Ti and have been on the EVGA notify list for a 3080TI since OCT 2020 and still can't find one without paying scalper prices. I thought I was playing it smart by selling my 2080Ti just before the...

Question RTX 4090 Rumored to cost 2999.99

I have owned every nvidia Ti card since 780Ti, 980Ti, 1080Ti and 2080Ti and my inability to find a 3080, 3090 or 3080Ti for the past year has really made me ask myself if it is time to call it quits on PC gaming.
