    Gaming laptop - cheap alternative to XPS 15?

    If it has to be Intel I'd look for a laptop with the six core i7-10710U. It has nearly the performance of the H parts in a lower power package especially for short duration workloads. Maybe the MSI Modern 14 or 15 would work for you? They are light and portable and can come with the GTX 1650...

    Question Ryzen 4800H or better with RTX 2070/Super or better?

    Question 2600x versus 3600x at $100 difference. Upgrading from i7 3770 paired with GTX 1080.

    If it's a higher refresh rate monitor, 120 Hz or higher, than the 3600x could be worth the extra $100. The 1600 AF will work well though and is the best value.

    Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    It's reliable but the R5 3600 numbers seem to be around 15%-18% too high. If those are accurate that would be amazing. They could be for overclocked CPUs. Based on the promoted IPC improvements and clockspeed increase from the 2600 I would expect the 3600 to score around 2550 single thread...

    What is the laptop equivalent of a GTX 1080 and a GTX 1080 Ti desktop graphics card?

    Link? Here's the desktop 2070 beating the laptop 2070 by a fair margin and destroying the Max-Q 2070.

    What is the laptop equivalent of a GTX 1080 and a GTX 1080 Ti desktop graphics card?

    It isn't per these benchmarks: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070-Mobile-Max-Q-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1080/m703511vs3603 The 2080 Max Q closes the gap a bit but it's still 15% behind. The desktop parts just have more power to work with and the laptop versions can't keep up. The 2060...

    Question Next CPU/Platform Upgrade Timing?

    This is an interesting idea. Here is the PassMark comparison to your current chip: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-Xeon-E5-2697-v2-vs-Intel-i7-3930K/2009vs902 You'll get about 1.4 times better multithreaded performance with the Xeon but your single threaded (important for some...

    Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    I'm not sure what your sorry for. According to Passmark for stock speeds (though I do have my CPU overclocked) the 1600x has a few percent lower single threaded performance and the 2600x has a few percent higher single threaded performance compared to the 3570k...

    Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

    Yep. Even if it's only an eight core part hitting 5.0 GHz with increased IPC it will be really tempting. If it actually hits the leaked numbers it the 3700X will be four times faster than my overclocked 3570k at multithreading and actually have increased single thread performance!

    Old Gamer Looking for new Mobo Tips

    You really don't need to spend $100 on a power supply. Newegg has the Corsair RM550x and RM750x for $70 which are top PSUs that don't even run the fan until they are heavily loaded. The RM550x will be more than enough power but you could get the 750W version for the same price if you don't...

    How does 1080p look on a 4k display?

    I tried 1280x800 on my Korean 2560x1600 monitor that only has a DVI connection and no scaling built into the monitor. The AMD scaling that is done is much worse than I expected. Everything is fuzzy. It definitely doesn't just map one pixel to four for the higher resolution. Is there a way...

    1.5 TB Samsung EcoGreen F2 HD154UI Slow Access Times

    Quiet HTPC and 1920x1200 Gaming Card Recommendation Needed

    Well, like I said I don't play all the latest games. Mainly I play WWIIOnline which is more CPU limited. I don't need a 4850 or 4870 and I don't want to deal with the heat they put out in my little HTPC case. There isn't room for a taller aftermarket coolers like the S1 or S2. I'm going to...

    $500-600 MoBo, CPU, Memory - Best Options

    I purchased the A64 3000+ bundled with the Asus A8V from MWave for $273 from Mwave. Looks like the processor price has gone up a bit since a couple weeks ago, now it's $281. That bundle with the gig of Kingston ram for $160.50 should be a great combo if you aren't planning on overclocking for...

    Kingston 1GB PC3200 400MHz 2x512 MB DDR $159.99

    The Specs linked by Smoking Gunn are 2-2-2-6-1 @ 2.6V but Kingston lists this RAM a discontinued model, the new model KHX3200AK2/1G ('A' in the model number) has the stats of 2-3-2-6-1 like Outpost lists. So it may be this newer model. It seems like it would still be a decent deal without...

    Which is better deal: 9500 for $150 (w/ possible soft mod) or 9500 pro for $175

    So are you saying the 9500 can be overclocked to outperform the 9500 pro even if the other 4 pipelines are unuseable(checkerboarded)? I haven't heard of soft modding to make it a 9800, I've just heard of it going up to the 9700pro speeds. It would seem that if the 4 unlocked pipelines aren't...
