    Time to beef up the CPU, Intel or AMD?

    The old board is ASROCK Fatal1ty X370 GAMING ITX/AC tbh i would prefer a normal size mobo now anyway as it was originally for a micro build thats now in a normal sized case. Its pretty old was from first gen Ryzen chips tbh.

    Sony STR-DH790 can it do what I need?

    Happy to spend a little more the Denons seem to start at £600 for at ATMOS version. The Denon X27700H is £600 and on paper does seem a lot more feature rich than the Sony.

    Is my board Limiting my performance?

    Thanks I will check the Ram situation later. I believe that since it got ported to Xbox the ram requirement dropped a fair bit. Its only using about 30-40% CPU and GPU and getting 20-30fps. looking online i should be getting double this so im getting a bottleneck somewhere. Thats why i was...

    30xx Series Founders Edition

    Want to get my first Macbook but lost

    Thanks everyone for their input! I was not aware of the 14 day money back thing at apple so this is awesome to know! I have been watching stacks of YouTube videos and it seems the air can edit H264/265 4k just fine due to built in hardware encoders and decoders within the M1 chip. The M1 Pro...
