A 2060 review is too old to be relevant at this point, and the 1660 is bordering on that too.

What sites do have TR-like quality reviews of those cards?

Re: Temporary gfx card suggestions

I would go with something no higher than a 980/1060/1660 or RX 580 with your 3570k. You will be massively bottlenecked with something higher like a 1080 / 2060.

GTX 1650/60 and RTX 2060 reviews by TR?

Is TR planning to review the 1650, 1660 (Ti) and 2060 chips?

Re: Interactive head 2 head benchmark results

A single graph would still provide a nicer overview, without distractions from other cards.

Re: Interactive head 2 head benchmark results

Anandtech Bench supports GPUs too..

Including just the results from a single review would be nice already. It'd present all results for two cards on a single page, instead of scattered all through the review.

Interactive head 2 head benchmark results

TR reviews are awesome already! But I'm missing one thing: a simple way to compare two video cards head to head. What about an 'interactive' tool after each review where you can select two cards and it'd show all results in one (or two) convenient graphs? http://techreport.com/r.x/gtx1060review/rott...

GTX 1050 review?

Any plans for a GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti review?
I'd love to see how they stack up against the RX 460 and 470.

Re: Sound Card advice

Doesn't the 363D have a USB input and an internal DAC? 363D is not Usb. It's got a 3.5 lead. It comes with a isn sound card that can be used, but I found it to be pretty weak. Ah, is that what's meant by SOUND CARD AND CABLE USB sound card with Dolby® Headphone control. Braided fabric cable for lon...

Re: Will SSDs replace HDDs in the near future?

They are already dense enough for replacing HDDs for a lot of people, and prices are dropping. Are they? Prices of Crucial/Samsung 120 / 250 gb devices have been almost flat for the past year. Higher flash chip densities are probably harder to achieve than for normal chips (CPUs/GPUs) so prices are...

Re: printer recommendations?

The XL absolutely get 10k+ pages per cartridge. I have about 18k page count on mine now. I switched from a laser, would never go back. Duplex printing/copying/scanning is awesome too. And it's faster, quieter, and doesn't stink up the small office I have it in. Unless there is a specific case for w...

Re: printer recommendations?

It is pricier though. In what way? The Brother MFC-9340CDW costs more. A quick amazon search shows the Brother as costing $393.99, and the HP as costing $748.35. Not sure what country the OP is in though. That's the M551dn, the M551n is quite a bit less expensive ($539) assuming you can live withou...

Comments are sorted by most recent replies. So if somebody replies to an old comment tree, the entire tree gets bumped.
