I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my monitor situation. I currently have mismatch 24" monitors (Asus and LG). I'm thinking I will replace one of them with a 27", 1440p. 4K isn't very important to me, but I have heard higher refresh rates are amazing. Does anyone have suggestions? I'm willing to be patient until black friday but I want to look into options now.
The computer is a i5-3570k, 16GB ram, GTX 1070.
e: I should add, I barely know what are important things I need to mention so if I have left any specs out, let me know. My monitor purchases have usually involved looking at what seems like a good price and buying it impulsively.
I guess it depends on the type of games you play. If you play a lot of online gaming that's fast moving like Overwatch, it's probably worth looking into. For me, since I play mostly offline, I wanted the best picture I could get and went with a OLED TV.
This will be used almost entirely for gaming.
haha my OLED is 95% gaming. Just depends on the type of gaming and how sensitive you are to tearing/blurring. Worst case, find one that has a good return policy. If you don't see an improvement with the 144Hz monitor, return it.

While I don't like the rebranding, I realized they may have switched to it because they want distinction between model numbers of future and past cards. IE, they're about to step on their own toes model-number wise if they keep up the numbering going 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx ect.

Yeah but they'll step on their toes 10-15 years down the line.

I think the 4-series is the first one where they switched to 4 digit model numbers, so that's only a few years away. I don't think they used the GTX scheme exactly at the time, but they did with the later cards. It makes sense to switch now and just keep it that way for the next 9 generations.
How noticeable is a difference in read/write speed on an SSD for normal usage? Cause I'm looking at a sandisk one that is 535 MB/s/445 MB/s read/write, which is noticeably less than what say, an EVO advertises, but at the same time it's a good 25%+ cheaper and I kind of have a student budget here!
And relatedly, what's the simplest way to just clone a system drive entirely to replace it?

Well, not THAT big, but yeah, basically there seems to be a 100-120 MB/s or so difference between speeds among the two drives, and I wondered if it made a huge difference.
It all comes down to whether or not you do a lot of large file transfers. Like, are you moving 200GB of data around per day? If not, sure there'll be a difference, but just do the math. If the speed difference is 300MB/s read for the slower drive and 400MB/s for the faster drive....
if you're reading a 300MB file it'll take you one second. If you're reading the same 300MB file on the faster drive it'll take... 1.25 seconds.
Honestly, if you're on a platter drive, and your choice is either the slower drive or no SSD, take the SSD every single time. If affording the faster drive is a bit of a stretch, get the slower drive. If it's just "I absolutely have the money, no worries there, I'm just not sure if it's worth it." get the faster drive.

Go for size over speed as long as both are good brands. I switched from a 256GB "performance" model to a 1TB mid-level SSD and haven't noticed a difference.
It's strange that they are focusing on ray tracing. If you asked me what the biggest issue with this generations graphics are, I'd say it's human modeling. Playing through my backlog, I finished ME:A not long ago and I'm currently playing through Deus Ex: MD. Both have amazing textures and lighting. You can see the light streaming in through Adam's apartment windows with dust floating around in just the light streams. It's crazy good looking. But where both games fall down is with human modeling. Hair, skin textures, animations, etc. Everything feels a little last gen.
I have no idea what technology would help with that, I think I saw they mentioned Ray-tracing will help (skin and eye translucency), if so, I'd love to see more demo's of that in practice. It's interesting that the BF5 demo, the human models looked pretty much the same except that you could see reflections in their eyes (I bet you'll be able to see that during a MP match lol).
Ray Tracing will help with sub surface scattering to give more realistic skin tones (but will be dependant on devs putting the effort in). Hair I'm not as sure on. Some games do it okay, some it's just awful. Certain hair styles are also just less of a pain to do as well. A tight pony tail is relatively straight forward, but unrestrained flowing hair is fairly resource intensive for a low return on realism. If the RTX free's up enough other power to make that more manageable, you might see gains in that department.
Moving on to animations, the limiter here is they just take ridiculous amounts of time. But, honestly, the bigger issue? Most people even in the animation industry suck at it. When I was in school, just one other of my classmates actually had a solid feel and eye for proper movement and timing. And neither of us actually wound up doing anything industry related because the intro pay is so awful. It's a shit gig that is soul crushing, long hours to do menial tweaks over and over again, and the really, really competent people go become tech artists or get into advertising or something else entirely unrelated because it's a damn hard industry to break into unless you want to earn 30k a year animating backgrounds in shitty SyFy channel movies.
I wish there were more documentaries on stuff like this. It's interesting to learn about what all goes on behind the scenes for each role in the industry.
For someone like me who doesn't know much, I'd have thought someone like Epic would have built a modeling program that had every word in the dictionary and someone saying that word while motion captured. Then some program would put all the words together based on the script used.
not really computer building but question on generic printer toner
anyone have a brand they use with no issues?
I have a brother laser printer that finally gave the toner warning. Trying to get the tape thing to work, but need to replace it at some point.
It needs the TN-580/620/650 which are like 60 to 70 bucks for the official ones. So thinking about grabbing a offbrand replacement.
I bought offbrand toner for my Samsung printer because it was half the price for two cartridges over a single OEM cartridge. The first one was total garbage, kept either dragging extra toner out or leaving bare spots so I tossed it and the second one has been a workhorse ever since. I'd say if you can find an off brand with good reviews and you aren't relying on the printer for something business critical then go for it.
Part of why I singled out Jay as opposed to Steve from GN is because Jay can sometimes be too light in his criticisms of certain companies, where as Steve will tear a company apart.
I just watched that video of Jay's and while he does advise people to wait, he also tries to justify the price by claiming it's a name shuffle and the ray tracing is still an amazing feature for the GPUs.
That feature might be amazing in the future, but so far it has yet to prove itself worthy of the price increase for consumer GPUs.
But I will cut him a bit of slack for still urging buyers to wait for in hand reviews.
Most Youtube videos of famous tech “vloggers” sound like a written doublespeak corporate apology when they “can’t recommend preordering the new GPUs”. I get it - these channels walking in a fine line between making money and having a shred of credibility left, but I can just go to a companies website if I want marketing speech.

Solid state drive read/write speeds run a very large, even hilarious range, that usual correspond with prince and profile. Even just within Samsung and Crucial, the two brands I've used the most.
That being said, even a slow SSD can potentially me more than enough depending on your needs. It's the same reason people say, "Get a mechanical drive for storage and other things," and not "Ditch all that other data."
I have a pair of 512 GB SSDs, and 2 4 TB mechanical drives. Any game that seems excessively large (I'm looking at you Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor), I don't play often, or I know won't benefit from faster speeds because it's old ends up on the mechanical drives because why not? Windows 10, various apps I use the most often, and other small, basic programs that have a small footprint go onto solid state.

My OS and any gaming is done via the SSD. It is so much quicker.
I am still on a single 830 Pro 256GB SSD from 2012 and it is still lightning fucking fast. One day I will build a new computer and that will also be SSD-only, but that day is far, far off in the future.

I wonder if gigabit is fast enough for older games that don't have a ton of assets.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
Dammit. The pump on my GPU block keeps getting microbubbles stuck in it and makes an incredibly annoying buzzing sound. I bought an AC adapter that will power 3/4 pin fans, and was able to shake the bubble loose this afternoon. After a couple of hours if use the same bubble or another one is back. Turning down the RPM helps but I can still hear it. Looks like I'll have to work on it some more tomorrow and hopefully clear it out again.
I seems to get one stuck every couple of weeks but they clear up on their own after a couple of days of cycling the RPM on the pump. This one though has lasted for weeks and has been preventing me from installing the larger second radiator I bought on Labor Day. I'm hoping to try and trap the bubbles, basically by sheer luck, in the smaller radiator I'm taking out, so that when I put in the new one I won't be having this issue anymore.
I really hope I don't have to resort to draining the loop, refilling it, and hoping that I don't get bubbles again. That's one worst case scenario. Another would be swapping out all the tubes with quick disconnects for new soft tubing without quick disconnects, new fittings, and a 150mm reservoir that would hopefully catch and contain the bubbles causing my issues. I really don't want to go a full custom loop right now with my computer due to the cost, but things may lead to that if I plan to keep this computer for 2-4 more years. It's going to be a while before my 6700k and 1080 are going to need replacing.
Alright, it's time to break down and do some upgrades. Nothing crazy here, no real insane needs (yet). Keeping my current power supply, video card, ssd and platter drives, and case. Just upgrading CPU, motherboard, and memory. The memory will get upgraded pretty quickly to 32 and then 64gb, hence the 1x16gb for now. Any red flags on the build linked here? Any specific items in the same price range you'd recommend instead? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8rLbyX
Main uses are running light docker containers for development, light gaming and WoW. Gaming may increase in the future, but I've got two young kids, so it's unlikely. Primary wants out of it are potential for 64gb ram, a bit of CPU upgradeability in case I go a bit more hardcore with the gaming or certain aspects of the software dev on it, and some future proofing in terms of having usb-c, etc.

Edit: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
It was not shot in real-time, and after the shoot, we did swap the RAM channels and cleaned up some of the thermal paste as many of you have noted. Sometimes a lot more paste comes out of the tube than intended, so it's certainly something to be careful about. We also did more wire management in the second chamber of the case that didn't make it into the final cut of the video.
