7:30 - No said anything about Blu-rays, where was that? I loved buying them at 50%-75% off on Black Fridays, especially those complete seasons combos, trilogies, even 4K ( usually $30) go 50% off! Good days to stock up on physical media.

Thank you Reese for today's deals! Snapped up one of those monitors...great price, let's hope it's as nice as it sounds!

Bout to build an arc PC for my son!

Hope you will have a great time! Because I didn’t. Now I’m not talking about arc, I’m talking about the igpu of an intel processor and since I have it so that the steamvr menu is handled by the intel igpu (the games are rendered on my nvidia gpu and I do this because I use a laptop), one day the intel igpu driver crashed so hard that steamvr wouldn’t launch and playing videos in google would crash the app. Thankfully updating/repairing the driver seems to have fixed everything. So in conclusion they are improving in the gpu space but they need to work hard to make arc “daily drivable” it’s mostly driver problems though

@@melaniaslatan1177 it is daily drivable. I use a 4070 super on my main rig and a A750 on another. I would bet the avg user wouldn't have a problem with an arc card. There is going to be unique situations like yours and that is where updates come in.

Yeah, they're trying to push it too far. They haven't had a meaningful uplift in performance in years... Just power usage. Hopefully their stagnation doesn't push AMD to be lazy.

Bit like their 14nm decade (it was less, I know) except with alder lake

@@102728 yes! I was thinking of that era when I typed out my reply.

Until it don’t gooooooooooo (not that my 14900k could hit 6ghz)

One point twenty-one gigaawatts? Great scott!

@@rtyler1869huh, my i7-14700k autooverclocks itself to 6.2ghz 💀 (and never goes above 126F), I must’ve just gotten a golden sample one

If he breaks less stuff... guy is like Mr. Magoo.

yes exactly 😅

I cast Raytracing!

When I started out diving deeper in pc hw, I disliked asus for their over the top, gamery looking rog line that's priced way too high for most products. Then over the years, issues regularly popped up in the news feeds, their entry level stuff being horribly sub par, asus support horror stories, etc. It'll take a while for the rog brand to erode enough for asus to have no choice but to fix their issues, until then I'll happily avoid them.

Also asus has history of stopping support of product just after 2-3 years. Like motherboards no longer getting update drivers just after 2+ years. They famous for that.

Also, (unfortunately) MSI problems for me in the last couple of years. Mostly they worked out eventually due to good bios updates, but...there it is. I'm seeing weird issues with all of them.

And Gigabyte in my case. But it is my processor. Downclock thr CPU and stability is here

@@MrWayne6363 Intel motherboard or AMD? just wondering. I bought msi gaming pro carbon x470 and so far it’s been best motherboard I’ve had. I’ve had mostly Asus motherboard since mid 90’s. Switch amd early 2019 I think. Coming from Asus Sabertooth z77/ i7 3770k 3.5 ghz. Some Asus been decent. Some been shit. Of course most for me we’re all intel. Only AMD I had was Athlon XP back in day I forget what Mobo it was. All my friends have switch to AMD. Even small indie dev team I was with for few years, as I was beta tester,server admin and ex moderator (tech help guy). One head devs who was doing coding for ue4 servers, he upgrade to Thread Ripper so they could code and compile better. He loved it. Another friend my got msi b450 with 2600x and another friend with 2600 none x version. Last year my friend in Australia had new system built. 5800x3d/32GB/7900xtx. I think went with 570 mobo. He say loves it then poof on me before xmas of last year. I Don’t know what happened too him. Lost job? Moved. Don’t know. My x470 been great. Only minor issue I’ve had and this (almost) with all motherboard is crappy RealTek onboard Sound. They all been shit for years and since nobody else is competing with onboard sound. IMO soundcard have gone shit too. Back in day soundblast 16 & 32 would really good. But Creative has gone down hill too. Sound in games has kinda taken backseat Imo. It’s all about graphics and RT now. If your on intel. Might be why. Intel has gotten sloppy over the Years. But if already on AMD, must been bad motherboard? Intel can have bad boards too. Since Jay2cent report on more few motherboard go dead for no reason on either AMD/Intel. Bios updates were kinda shit when ryzen 1xxx/2xxx first came out. But they a lot better. If ppl don’t update bios. That can cause serious issues with windows and any newer hardware. Windows = bloatware. I’m waiting for steam os to come desktop PCs. Some day soon hopefully.

Yeah there is a very limited group of people who that vehicle appeals to. I have a feeling once those people get theirs, they will sit on lots and not sell.

@@volvo09 As much as I’d love to get one in a clearance fire sale for $500, hopefully Tesla has a good estimation of real-world demand and doesn’t make too many of them.

@@OtherTheDave they'd rather break em down for parts than sell em to you for cheap.

@@OtherTheDave They've only made/sold less than 4000 so far. With the recall and all the bad reviews and issues, I wouldn't be surprised if they halt production entirely. It's just a big hulking joke of a vehicle and anyone who'd want one now (other than as a meme that they paid $500 for) is quite probably an idiot.

@@OtherTheDavecareful with how you word it, they might actually burn in that case.

Yeah I'm happy they are sticking to it. Can't wait to see the next gen stuff.

Bring back Matrox to the mainstream! Power VR2

My guess would be 4-5 at minimum.

Just one, but they need to actually compete.

Time for the voodoo 6

@@dreadtrain2846 I would say 2 more, not counting "Intel".

sparkle has a lowprofile single slot a310, the cooler will fit on an a380 if ya have the money

The ASRock A310 I got earlier this year idles at 51-56 Celsius with its two-slot cooler and dual fan chassis depending on ambient. It's used solely for AV1 encoding and does not get too warm, but that is my use case and results.

There are also Arc Pro cards based on ACM-G11 that are single slot. Probably not worth the price unless you really need one of the features in a single slot configuration.

Dedotated wam issues?

@@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo wasn't having issues a few weeks ago and I'm using 32gb of tridZ's so I doubt it's that

@@MyNameIsBhex Run a memtest to be sure.

Too much extra effort, no thanks.

That would create mold?

​@@Arigal3no, not a slightly moist shirt.

​@@Arigal3 unless you keep it wet longer than 2 3 days, then no, its how people who don't have tumble dryer to dry

Thanks for the reply! To be fair, I only do this with my business casual shirts, which i only have about five of those. I dont do do this with all my t-shirts. I could see where that could be a lot of extra effort!

Yeah, I meant 20GB, said it wrong.

@@UFDTech ah, i see thought you were saying about the 10gb vs 12gb base 3080

EXACTLY But the AMD cultists forget that

Maby they donated enough?

Uhhh, that's pretty much dead I think.

I put my dvds in binders

It would also help if dvds weren't more than five dollars, i always wait for redbox to sell the movies i want because 20 or more bucks is too much.

Ah yes, the good old disc destroyers. Imagine my surprise how half of my dvds in binders stop reading while the ones that are in their proper jewel cases are still functional.​@Imbatmn57

lmao

Also see Sinclair C5 and Juicero.

It reminds me of the horrendous Pontiac Aztek.

​@@kb198219khey, you take that back!

@@auritro3903 I have a 13th gen i9

Yeah. They build niche vehicles, not mainstream people movers.

@@nismo2070 Exactly. I have no personal problems with Musk, but I'm not buying a EV just to say "watch my 0-60!"

@@PlaidZoomer Huh? I looked at five different sales lists for 2023. F150 was 1st, Silverado 2nd, Rav4 3rd, and the model Y was fourth. Still good sales numbers, but not the best selling car.

@@nismo2070 worldwide, not USA

To even make a throttle pedal that crappily is insane. Sliding a cosmetic piece over the pedal? That reminds me of my friend buying clip on chrome gas and brake pedals from auto zone and I laughed at him.

Lmao. Give dude drill, and he will be done in like 30s, but because tesla is best company and doesnt need any service centers...they now had to ship ALL cars across the country.

Many of those people have probably given up. 3 years is a long time to wait for a vehicle, and to STILL be waiting for it is ridiculous.

Yeah 4 years late isn't good.

They'd have to be $450 for them to be worth while.

@@bansheezs it could be 6 months earlier than the 5070 though so it's like getting a 4080 for $499 which isn't bad. But yeah, depends how aggressively they price the 5070. I can't see it being $599 with 16GB but we will see.
