  • Looking for advice on gaming laptop/monitor
    Greetings friends, I currently have a very old gaming pc that I have not upgraded in close to a decade. It has a 970 in it so yeah... I have decided that I would rather have something portable that I can play on my lunch breaks at work and take with me travelling. I also want to get a nice gaming monitor that I can plug it into when I'm at home. I was looking at anandtech.com for suggestions but I thought it would... - Source: Reddit / 20 days ago
  • Just wanted to share my first build and set up. Not exactly where I want it to be but I’ve worked very hard and I’m very proud. Specs on second pic
    Great job on the build, but you might want to stay away from userbenchmark, as they don't have the most reliable information. I have heard that passmark.com and anandtech.com are better alternatives. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • I've been debating on getting either the 5700g or 10900k for a portable tv tuner pc build in the J-Hack Pur​e MK2 3 Liter case.
    According to the results from anandtech.com the 10900k and 5700g trade blows with each other. I couldn’t find any final results on the overall performance, but it looks like they are about equal in terms of horsepower. - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago
  • Alternative Reader View Add-On that keeps the original website design & functionality
    In the case of anandtech.com, I assume you want to make the font size larger? What if there would be a default style override to make that change for everyone? (there are already things like that in manualContentBlock.css). - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Alternative Reader View Add-On that keeps the original website design & functionality
    Thanks, very nice start. The default reader mode was always doing too much. I've enabled this to automatically switch on for anandtech.com and it works for just the articles :). - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • [GUIDE] Thinking of buying a new PC? There are some common PC Hardware traps and misconceptions you might be tricked by.
    Written sites like Tomshardware.com, anandtech.com or techspot.com for all part reviews. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • How engineers actually make the clock faster?
    In other words, why does Intel (or any other company) offer many different processors with many different speeds? It's kind of like asking why don't all cars go 0 to 60 in 3 seconds because Ferraris and Teslas can do it. Semiconductor materials technology, processor architecture, power consumption, heat dissipation, packaging and manufacturing cost are all important. Marketing certainly plays a role. It's... - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Games that support 120 FPS on iPhone 13 pro max?
    My advice, wait for anandtech.com analysis - it's the best you can get and will really show you where iphone's pro series A15 stands against A14, including in sustained performance. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • I Built My New Linux Gaming Desktop in 2021 with AMD (CPU+GPU) and GNU Guix
    You need a heatsink for the PCIe4 SSDs to get their full performance, PCIe3 SSDs are fine without. My goto for HW knowledge is https://anandtech.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • ADATA has secretly changed its 4tb drives from TLC to QLC
    The ADATA SX8100 4TB drive has been on sale lately and has been popular on Reddit. It was also featured on Anandtech.com this week as a recommended high capacity drive. - Source: Reddit / about 2 years ago
