I’ve seen shit like gaming chairs, headsets, and even gaming PCs turning out to be absolute horseshit compared to even shit used in offices.

I’m curious to know your thoughts on this. My theory is that the focus on gaming was so extreme the others that actually IMPROVE gaming like less bottlenecks get fucked over.

    Windows caps ram at 1333 mhz (even on windows 11) because of some legacy thing, to unlock it you have to go into the bios and switch on a setting. Apparently mine doesn’t do anything. I’m not sure ram frequency is as important as people say it is, although I’ve never had it faster than the legacy 1333 lol

      It depends, with older processors like before Intel gen 8 and Zen it didn’t really matter. Today, it can give you about ~10% performance boost on average. Scaling

      These are the results for Linux, but it should be pretty comparable to Windows.

        Aaah, you’re right. When I bought the sticks they said 2666mHz on the website, but this prompted me to look it up and I confirmed DDR4 ram reads data twice, so it technically runs at 1333mHz but does double the calculations per second.
