Burying Macs...

It's your decision. But including announcements of hipster Mac laptops in a forum that primarily talks about building gaming PCs, video cards, CPU benchmarking and monitors makes little sense to me...

Mac's aren't for gaming.... I would suggest the consumer technology forum...

Why do we now have a Mac included with the PC gaming board? +1 for the old names

PC Tech The death of G-Sync inches closer...
AbsolutSurgen replied to Reputator's topic in PC/Mac Technical and PCCB
Yes. that is IPS -- but it is still a significantly cheaper panel than in the $1,800 G-Sync panel. That monitor has a very low light outpout (350 CD/m2 ) and only has sRGB colors-(which makes it debatable about whether it should even be called an HDR monitor). -

The $1,800 monitor (at Microcenter) is a premium 144Hz Quandum-Dot IPS panel with a 384 zone FALD backlight (don't you love the marketing terms?) and the $400 one is a budget 60Hz TN panel. I wouldn't want to pay $1,800 for a monitor.... But I still want one of these... -

That number was based on pure speculation by one review site. It is not a credible number. Original quote that is getting re-reported was "I wouldn't be surprised to see that this FPGA alone makes up $500 of the final price point of these new displays, let alone the costly DDR4 memory." -
Topic thread should be -- Unreal Asset Marketplace is getting it's ass kicked by Unity. Unreal lowers their cut in hope of creators bothering to upload their assets for Unreal...

Then my G-Sync monitor must have been almost free. All reports I have ever read claim a premium of $150-$200, and that has been pretty consistent with what I paid. Card releases 2-3 years away is forever in technology... -

Most of them cost ~$200 more than a comparable Freesync monitor. That's still years away... -

AMD has locked down the console market -- and TVs primarily use HDMI. So that makes sense. Unless AMD somehow magically turns around their high end gaming cards (and rumours are they diverted resources completely away from them), mid/high end cards will continue to be dominated by nVidia. -

Yes. But a Freesync monitor won't work with any video card you would want to use. (I haven't seen an HDR Freesync monitor for quite that cheap, and I was seeing $600 ones, but they were only 60Hz refresh....) -
God of War has a 94 Metacritic Monster Hunter: World has a 90 Metacritic Far Cry 5 has an 81 Metacritic (and is the best selling game in 2018) Every single game that was on Matt's list for a top ten game is available on PS4. All of the top 8 best selling games of 2018 are available on PS4. 9 of the top 10 best selling games over the last 12 months are available on PS4. They may not be to your taste, but people are buying them.

Sales & Deals 65” LG OLED B7P (2017) for $1580 (!!!)

Always be careful about refurbished TVs. While some are in perfect condition, others may have cosmetic damage, dead pixels, burn-in, etc. I have purchased a number of refurbished small appliances, but I wouldn't touch a refurbished TV. -

That sucks.
