I’m no manufacturing and distributing expert – I don’t know absolutely everything that is going on in the background when companies like AMD or Asus are planning their next innovation for the next great processor or new motherboards.
However, there’s been a pattern with the PC gaming hardware industry where one major company will create an amazing new processor but there aren’t boards that truly have full compatibility to go with. That’s what I’d like to discuss with this post.
It’s time for an ASUS VG245H review, a FreeSync monitor that is priced well for what you get. If you’re using an AMD card, you should consider picking this up.
At 1080p resolution, FreeSync technology included, 75hz refresh rate and 1ms response time all at a very reasonable price – you really can’t ignore this one.
In any market that you look into there is always an up and down slope of pricing and stock due to supply and demand, having enough product and other means.
Right now all of the RX series graphics cards from AMD are either priced at over $400 or they’re completely out of stock on other websites.
How Come?
The answer is BitCoin mining. It’s unfortunate that the market had to move so drastically because of it but that’s definitely why we’re not seeing any RX 480’s/RX 580’s on the market for an acceptable price point right now.
In the everlasting battle of the Intel CPU vs the AMD CPU, which one reigns champ in your eyes? If you’re a PC gamer then you’ve got a strong opinion on one!
You’ve got the more widely trusted Intel brand which has an immense amount of cash flow to work with to create breakthroughs but you’ve really got to have some cash ready…
Or you’ve got the more open source AMD side which allows for a lower priced option for overclocking to higher performance levels…
If you’re even slightly involved with the PC gaming industry then you’ve definitely got a strong opinion on one over the other.
Keep in mind, this post is about the processors, we’re not talking about graphics at all here. I’d absolutely love to get everyone’s opinions on why one is better than the other!
