[fresh timber]

Ryzen 4070

[lone mango]

I been rocking all amd since my first build in 2018 🦾

[nocturne flicker]

There was a brief period of time I had an AMD cpu, Nvidia GPU and Intel SSD

[mortal grail]

Finally got the screen picked up by the 4090

Lmao if I run all 5 at full bandwidth I crash the 4090

Ohp no

Ohp yep

It really doesn't like all 5

Lmfao

I need to scale one or two of these back a few hz

Ok that worked

Ok so the limit for a 4090 is 3x 4K144 @ 10bit

+2x 4K60 @10bit

So 4x4K144 ig? If you include DSC

And it won't let me screen snip

Ok

Well I guess that's deserved as I almost crashed the pc with bandwidth shenanigans

Lmfao

But draw seems to be 108W rn

If I could share it

Stupid nvidia driver

Anyway

[mortal grail]

And if you're curious yes I will fix the height alignment at some point

But it's very stable and it's not supposed to exist like this as a dual mount

Just haven't winded the height properly just yet

[icy ore]

More screens

Not enough

[gilded kraken]

luckily they are in stock this time atleast

weird. it was only a couple months old

not all bad atleast. it was the loudest of all my fans, so swapping it for a slower and quieter model

[frigid stag]

make razer great again

new viper 8k 🙌

[rigid sinew]

good morning

[tranquil pebble]

overdue for new console moment

[proud jackal]

Morning

[icy ore]

Good morn

[icy ore]

True

Hope the switch 2 is good man lol

They need one that isn’t overpowered by an iPhone

[tranquil pebble]

Switch 2 will be weaker than latest iPhone pretty much guaranteed. The Apple SoCs are kinda nuts.

Given the back compat, Switch 2 is basically going to be Switch Pro lol

[fresh timber]

it was overdue when the switch released lmfao

[tranquil pebble]

eh, not really

[fresh timber]

yeah

it was already outdated asf when it droped

[tranquil pebble]

Nintendo does not need powerful hw

[fresh timber]

when u have games running 30fps i think ur due

30fps at 180p

not 30fps good quality

[velvet summit]

you say that but even some of nintendo's first party games were struggling to run

[fresh timber]

mariokart with 4 players is skuff

[tranquil pebble]

at launch?

[fresh timber]

mario kart

[velvet summit]

around launch at least

[tranquil pebble]

Well, for Switch they cheaped out too much on the GPU lol

[fresh timber]

dont give them special treatment, even consoles like ps4 xbox one s can last for years too and have games comming out well beyond launch run wel

[tranquil pebble]

PS4 and Xbox One had weak CPUs, but great GPUs by console standards

GPU can make or break a console

[fresh timber]

yeah the gpu in them are nice

i notice the hdd holding them back more than anything, and atleast for the ps4 they made it VERY easy to swp to a ssd

[velvet summit]

why is the tag image/venting

[fresh timber]

because their venting on how bad the switch is

[velvet summit]

i mean why is venting and image in the same tag

actually idk how reddit works

can you put multiple tags on a post

if not then that would make sense

[tranquil pebble]

Switch is just a giant 2DS without a second screen

but since it can't play DS game carts it makes it kinda meh

[unreal trail]

not announced anything significant in months, it was going to happen

[unreal trail]

no theyre venting on how bad Gamefreak programmers are

which is why they showed BotW in comparison to Pokemon

[fresh timber]

The switch is bad cope

[unreal trail]

nah

[frigid stag]

3ds better

[unreal trail]

why? nobody used the 3D

[fresh timber]

No

[frigid stag]

ye but the 2ds sucked

3ds was best overall

[fresh timber]

Disagree

[frigid stag]

inb4 someone says gameboi was better

[unreal trail]

3DS was basically a stronk Gamecube

[frigid stag]

im not a boomer

[unreal trail]

GB was a brick that displayed black and green

[proud jackal]

[unreal trail]

and you still gotta go to work after blowing your vocal cords out lol

[fresh timber]

It was

It’s games ran good

[frigid stag]

it looks way too pixelly. ive seen one theyre like stone age era to me

[unreal trail]

no RT and 4k, was trash

[fresh timber]

Rage bait

[fresh timber]

That was good for the time

[unreal trail]

"Switch is bad" is also rage bait

[frigid stag]

eh

[fresh timber]

Compared to when it came out and currently, yes

[unreal trail]

devs made games on GB according to spec, they can do the same for Switch

GB wasn't even on the level of NES

[trail nest]

all my storage drives chat

[fresh timber]

It’s hard to keep up with the times when ur hardware is ass

And your limited to 64gb

Prob even less

[unreal trail]

hardware is fine

[fresh timber]

Lmfao so why do the games run like ass

You can’t cherry pick games, look at all of them

[unreal trail]

corp heads dont want to pay programmers for optimization

[fresh timber]

Tough

[unreal trail]

no

not tough, thats not the fault of hardware

[fresh timber]

But unfortunately they don’t optimize the games so where at the will of the hardware and devs

What I’m getting at is hardware and devs suck

[frigid stag]

hardwares fine, if crisis 3 came out today it would probs need a 4090 for 4k 60

[fresh timber]

I think that back then it was fine, but now competition is getting spicy

[unreal trail]

also you can "cherry pick" because there are games where devs were actually paid to optimize and thus the games run perfectly smooth.. and some games that ran on PS2 that are totally busted on every platform because the publishing house cut the dev time before it was finished

[fresh timber]

Theirs games that run bad, theirs games that run good, you can figure out what the limitation is too

[unreal trail]

there was no limitation that caused Tales of Symphonia from framedropping on a PS5

[fresh timber]

So it was probably developers

[unreal trail]

no, the dev time was cut short by Namco

Tales of Vesperia and Graces f are much more demanding and play without issues

Cyberpunk was busted at launch, look how long it took get that playing acceptably

[fresh timber]

We have stuff like hog warts legacy

It’s so bad in switch

[unreal trail]

yeah, it is

I dont know why they even attempted that

they clearly didnt try to make the same concessions as FF Crisis Core did, because CC looks great

[fresh timber]

It should be able to run very nice on the switch 2

[fresh timber]

The hardware should be capable

[unreal trail]

yeah they should have waited

[fresh timber]

See

A reason we needed a better switch

[unreal trail]

like Square did with FF7 remake

but Switch could have ran KH easy, Square just didn't want to pay the dev to do the job

so they just made a streaming app

[fresh timber]

Bro

Give me moonlight on the switch

Please

I don’t feel like modding it

[unreal trail]

I could, I have a launch Switch

[fresh timber]

Same

I’m just lazy

My switch is useless to me, ima buy a legion go 2 and call it a day

[unreal trail]

I really hate to be at the behest of publishing studios decisions.

I want a certain game, but "we dont have any plans for that"

[fresh timber]

The switch internet is so ass

[unreal trail]

I havent had an issue with it

other than the wifi capping at like 50mbps

[fresh timber]

Even on ethenet I only do 80mbps

So ass

[unreal trail]

probably left over network adapters from the Wii or Wii U

[fresh timber]

Switch 2 please pull gigabit

I’m tired of waiting to download small files

[icy ore]

[unreal sage]

Hello everyone, hope you’re having a good day

I’m new here

Is there a specific channel for asking questions?

[rigid sinew]

[rancid juniper]

That's good that no $$$ was lost

[dusk knot]

[rancid juniper]

How much you're willing to spend on a GPU anyways?

[fresh timber]

$9999

[rancid juniper]

Current market is 2020 all over again

[dusk knot]

[rancid juniper]

damn bro sorry but no luck

i dont think anybody would know that acronym lmao

pd ususally stands for power delivery 💀

[lone mango]

Those who race:

[tranquil pebble]

PD followed by a car name instantly told me

[lone mango]

[velvet summit]

isnt gt an arcade race game

[tranquil pebble]

I grew up with the older Gran Turismo though

[tranquil pebble]

Simcade, heavier towards simulation

[velvet summit]

i see

[lone mango]

Its a sim that cuts some corners, not as fleshed out as assetto

[tranquil pebble]

driving physics are generally quite good in GT

[lone mango]

Yeah its just not as customizable as iracing for example

But it still is pretty customizable

[tranquil pebble]

I should put a Gran Turismo label on a Forza car just to be funny

[lone mango]

Spring rate, roll bars, dampers, toe all customizable but not caster

They still model it, but not every single parameter can be changed

[velvet summit]

[dusk knot]

What does Newegg do with all the trade-in GPUs? 🤔

[rigid sinew]

idk ill ask

[dusk knot]

Ok great.

[velvet summit]

Eat it

Very tasty

I feel like they probably either sell as refurb or put in prebuilt

Fairly common for prebuilt to use refurb components to save costs

[dusk knot]

would be nice if they had a no scalped priced used GPUs

[sage sluice]

Car went boom boom outside

Nobody was hurt

[velvet summit]

Well then the scalper is gonna buy it and then scalp it

[dusk knot]

NOO

[dusk knot]

the cause?

[velvet summit]

Fire

[sage sluice]

Car exploded

Something in the engine

Or battery maybe

It smelt awful

[velvet summit]

There was fire in the engine

There was fire in the battery

[sage sluice]

Not sure

[velvet summit]

Watch as it's somebody modding their car without putting a fuse

This is possibly one of the most common causes of random car fires outside of crashes and arson

[sage sluice]

It was turned off

[velvet summit]

Yeah

That doesn't fix stupid people wiring

[sage sluice]

Who knows

Most people here arent modders really

More of a consumery get someone to do it for them type place

[velvet summit]

Idk then

Might be arson then possibly

[sage sluice]

My step dad heard the explosion

It was likely just the battery or something lmao

No overthinking it

[velvet summit]

Battery shouldn't explode randomly

Engine bay is vented to prevent hydrogen buildup while charging

Assuming this is an ICE car, not a hybrid or ev

[sage sluice]

Nobody would in their right minds do arson here with how many cameras there are

[sage sluice]

I havent just walked up to the guy and asked "hey what type of car ya got whyd it explode" so who knows

Im not saying it was anything in particular, all i know is something exploded

[velvet summit]

I don't know damn anything about how hybrids or EVs are made to be safe, but ICE, idk what could cause it to randomly explode while parked lol

[sage sluice]

I dont know enough about cars to say

[velvet summit]

They could have tried to jumpstart it, that could cause a battery explosion if you put a full batt directly onto a empty batt which causes it to generate alot of hydrogen and if you spark, it can boom

(never connect 2 car batteries together directly )

[sage sluice]

Nobody was outside when it happened

[velvet summit]

Very strange then

[sage sluice]

It took minutes for officials to get there

[velvet summit]

Ira was here
How you know
Car explosion

[sage sluice]

What it looked like 15 mins ago

[velvet summit]

Damn sun

Omw to ask uncensored deepseek what it thinks about the events of June 3rd 1989

[dusk knot]

@rigid sinew the prices on those 30 series cards are .....that shouldn't be legal

[gilded kraken]

used card sellers eating good because theres zero stock of the new stuff?

[rigid sinew]

sellers, ill ask mkpl

[gilded kraken]

oh they refreshed

[dusk knot]

1800!! For a 3090!!

Sorry

*1500

[gilded kraken]

no

[opaque sedge]

What da hell

[gilded kraken]

Ive seen used 4090's cheaper

[frigid stag]

Lol my friend got one new for half that price

[velvet summit]

That reminds me, Toyota recently ish had a class action lawsuit due to them using biodegradable wiring harnesses that rats were attracted to and chewed on, causing an electrical short and potentially a fire
So if the car was a recent Toyota, that could be another cause

[frigid stag]

Some discontinued cards get expensive like that especially “refurb”

[dusk knot]

Yikes

[ancient swift]

389 for a 6800 XT is good though huh? 😱

[sage sluice]

maybe, bit niche tho

just to see how the colors would look

NOOO

discord doesn't work under waydroid

I'm screwed

ok I think my waydroid is just broken in general

[hoary zodiac]

the discord mobile app is better than the desktop at the moment

that's how much this ui sucks

I hate the discord UI/UX team so much

they should all be fired

first it's the mobile app now they're bringing this stupid pointless ui change to desktop

[hoary zodiac]

yeah it's 50 series

[mortal grail]

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

that's your problem

do not buy 50 series

[fierce zenith]

?

[mortal grail]

Yeah they're doing that to stop scalping

[pliant berry]

You can blame nvidia on there being no stock

[hoary zodiac]

it is literally a nvidia problem

nvidia botched this whole launch

[mortal grail]

These cards are unobtanium lad

[hoary zodiac]

it is an international problem

everyone all around the world has the same issue

[fierce zenith]

Blaming nvidia. Nvidia isn’t forcing stores to take advantage

[mortal grail]

They add half a pc to stop people reselling the card

[random osprey]

i blame theo, like half of stock is already going to his house from giveaways that hasnt started yet

[pliant berry]

The only 50 series card somewhat worth buying is extremely niche and impossible to find

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

It's a paper launch

[worthy meteor]

Newegg is using pricing that manufacturers have put forwards for every item in that bucket

[fierce zenith]

Just milk everything you can Newegg

[hoary zodiac]

it is 100% nvidia's fault

[mortal grail]

Yeah if you aren't buying msrp this whole 50 series is a skip

[worthy meteor]

the $3000 for the 5090 comes from Asus pricing

[pliant berry]

Thanks for the roughly 300 cards in microcenters nationwide

[worthy meteor]

Exact same price on the Asus website
https://rog.asus.com/us/graphics-cards/graphics-cards/rog-astral/rog-astral-rtx5090-o32g-gaming/

[hoary zodiac]

wait there's only 300 in the entirety of the US's microcenters?

[worthy meteor]

Newegg isn't raising the price

[hoary zodiac]

AHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

thanks nvidia

[worthy meteor]

<1000 in the entirety of the US between all retailers lol

[pliant berry]

I think the number was around 270 for microcenter

[hoary zodiac]

if anyone's being anti-consumer it's nvidia

they launched without having the supply to meet even one US state

[worthy meteor]

Nvidia wanted to get MSRP pricing in before tariffs kicked in

[pliant berry]

Its just comical

[fierce zenith]

Y’all some sympathizers. Wake up

[frigid stag]

There’s probably more than 300 5090s on eBay alone

[hoary zodiac]

yeah because the scalpers realised they can get in on it

[pliant berry]

Wake up? Why you think I haven’t upgraded my pc for several gens?

[worthy meteor]

it's pretty funny how many are random people selling pictures lol

[frigid stag]

Lol

[lone mango]

You blamed newegg then nvidia then newegg again

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[tranquil pebble]

[frigid stag]

[hoary zodiac]

try buying a 5090 in any other retailer

[pliant berry]

Which one

[hoary zodiac]

you'll have just as much luck there

[lone mango]

Transmission crashed when I tried the torrent for arch

[hoary zodiac]

we're blaming the multi million dollar company that decided to rake in the ai money instead of making a good product for the consumer

[rotund pagoda]

why is newegg ripping people off w/ their bundles

[mortal grail]

None of us work for newegg dude. We all just think the 50 series is garbage anyway.

Those combos are a throwback to 30 series where they did this constantly to stop scalping. They even did lotteries so you were barely even given the chance to buy.

Now MC, bestbuy, they're all getting into it too. Cos hey, scalpers will scalp. They DON'T WANT to put the cards on their own ON PURPOSE so genuine buyers get one dude

[worthy meteor]

I mean newegg has made some terrible bundles, p-gm for example

but all of the pricing do come from manufacturers

not newegg

[mortal grail]

If that's not a good enough reason then you're not a buyer, simple

[hoary zodiac]

It's not a newegg exclusive issue

end of story

[lone mango]

Idk I think theres some intervention from something thats saving me

I'll take it

[mortal grail]

If they just put these cards up on their own you'd never see them

[hoary zodiac]

what did you do

[mortal grail]

Like

[hoary zodiac]

like what are you doing

[mortal grail]

Bots would insta buy anyway

Would you prefer to think they don't exist?

Who wins in this discussion?

No one

[pliant berry]

Its ok guys intel will save us

[mortal grail]

The scalpers make bank, that's the end of it

[worthy meteor]

give us shuffle again smh

[hoary zodiac]

I hate nvidia so much

[pliant berry]

:PepeRealizes:

NOOOO

My emote

[hoary zodiac]

they're making bank with AI

[worthy meteor]

now we hope for AMD to be reasonable with pricing

[hoary zodiac]

like they've literally all gone in on ai

[hoary zodiac]

yeah no

they're like sharks

they saw blood in the water

they're not going to be nice

I still remember what they tried to pull with B450 and Ryzen 5000

some people might've forgotten

but I never forget

[pliant berry]

Were you victim?

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

nah I just hate anti consumer crap

[mortal grail]

I keep forgetting but yeah

[hoary zodiac]

AMD turns around and shoots the consumer the second they have the advantage

[mortal grail]

W moment

They really can't fix supporting every chip tho I don't think

The bios chip isn't big enough lmao

There's like hundreds of am4 skus now? Lol

[hoary zodiac]

eh that's fine tbh

[lone mango]

Ohhh when they dropped 1000 and 2000

[hoary zodiac]

they rolled out bios versions lacking older chip support but with new ones instead

[mortal grail]

Is and isn't, they can just put more cache on the chip

[lone mango]

Wasnt that for b550 tho

[hoary zodiac]

A lot of it was just what?

A series

and zen 1

athlons

[mortal grail]

B450 is funny, it's like, the ONLY series that supports all AM4

[hoary zodiac]

@lone mango what is the issue you have on linux

I might be able to help

[lone mango]

Nah I got it

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

was pacman being funny?

[lone mango]

🦾

[tranquil pebble]

all corporations are

[lone mango]

I havent installed it

[hoary zodiac]

or an arch based distro

[lone mango]

For some reason it was annoying getting the iso

[hoary zodiac]

huh

[lone mango]

I just want to install it on a vm and see

[hoary zodiac]

I mean if you're just testing the user experience

I'd go with endeavouros

you get the arch experience without the hassle

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

Guys am I crazy for playing psx games on the 4090 and actually having a blast

I feel like this is a simple life

[lone mango]

No

[mortal grail]

Old games are so fun man

And actually challenging

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[mortal grail]

I played GT2 and got destroyed LOL

I went to the ForzaRC

[mortal grail]

And GT2 arcade beat me worse than that

[misty sparrow]

He helped my frickin wife

[velvet summit]

Fixvx but hosted on a different domain

[frigid stag]

[frigid stag]

4chan is at least kinda funny

[mortal grail]

Not even a cesspool

[hoary zodiac]

4chan is like a mental asylum

[misty sparrow]

and I said "That's disgusting", so I'm making a callout on my Twitter dot com. Shadow the Hedgehog, you got small hands. It's the size of this walnut except WAY smaller.

[hoary zodiac]

[velvet summit]

And guess what? Here's what my hands look like; that's right, all help, no harm, all fingers. Look at that, it's like the hamburger helper mascot

[craggy shoal]

that fact that the whole video is under 50MB

[mortal grail]

I like #31

[craggy shoal]

This guy looks at the most basic cheese and goes "I like #31"

[mortal grail]

And now I know you scrolled all the way to find it

💀

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/mission-passed-gta-run-gif-12039064

[nocturne flicker]

I prefer #914

[craggy shoal]

I think #812 is my favorite

[nocturne flicker]

It does have a very strong cheese pull

Maybe a bit too much for me tho

[craggy shoal]

nah I fw that heavy

[mortal grail]

It gotta be rank or it don't rank top 2K man

[misty sparrow]

-# cheese is mid

[nocturne flicker]

In my experience too much pull results in a slice eventually having all the toppings get yoinked

[craggy shoal]

I hope you suffer when you die

[misty sparrow]

i'm suffering right now

[nocturne flicker]

Welp you know what that means

[mortal grail]

Without cheese you can't become cheesy garlic bread

[craggy shoal]

mood asf

[mortal grail]

Cheesy garlic bread gotta be that S tier side dish man

Get that cheese and bread, a and b tiers on their own

[hoary zodiac]

what would be D tier

[mortal grail]

With the power of garlic which makes everything good

[hoary zodiac]

moldy bread?

thermaltake smart bread

[mortal grail]

Low effort salad

Not like good salad

Like

3 vegetables

Tossed

💀

[hoary zodiac]

I don't like salad

[mortal grail]

Maybe some vinegar

[hoary zodiac]

It's rabbit food

[gray wing]

hii

[mortal grail]

Good salad I fw

[hoary zodiac]

the Japanese do make nice salads tho

[mortal grail]

Potato salad is A tier minimum

[hoary zodiac]

agree

[mortal grail]

Fresh mayo

[hoary zodiac]

potato makes salad better

that and boiled eggs

[mortal grail]

Eggs yesssss

[hoary zodiac]

I hate the ones that's quite literally rabbit food

[mortal grail]

I so agree on that

Like basic greens and no innovation

Ahhh is so plain

[hoary zodiac]

yeah it's not even that nutritious

just greens

like what is this? the 1400s?

potatoes haven't been discovered yet?

[mortal grail]

Tomatoes

Croutons

[hoary zodiac]

Italians before tomatoes

[mortal grail]

Maybe some capsicum if you like that

[hoary zodiac]

Lmao

I wonder if the americans are like

"wtf is a capsicum"

[mortal grail]

Lmao

Basically bell pepper

[safe cape]

sardines/anchovies 🧑‍🍳

[hoary zodiac]

salmon

[mortal grail]

Hell yeah in the right one

Tuna salmon

[safe cape]

s tier ez

[hoary zodiac]

I love just getting canned sardines

[mortal grail]

Those are nice af

[hoary zodiac]

and just slapping it on my sandwich

sauce and all

no effort

and tastes really damn good

[mortal grail]

Maybe garnish with a little olive

Green onions

[hoary zodiac]

If you eat canned sardines without the sauce there's something wrong with you

[mortal grail]

I just remembered a better S tier

Bruschetta bread

Omg

I miss it so much

[safe cape]

beetroot/radish in a salad☠️

[mortal grail]

Radish can be nice

[nocturne flicker]

I can't eat raw tomato

[mortal grail]

Beetroot I lowkey agree

[nocturne flicker]

It tastes rancid

[mortal grail]

Both of which you can't do much of in said salad

[safe cape]

no seasoning 💀

[hoary zodiac]

raw tomatoes are the best

[mortal grail]

Just a little piece of it

[mortal grail]

Don't eat bruschetta then lol

[hoary zodiac]

Olives however

I hate olives

[mortal grail]

I love tomato

[hoary zodiac]

who eats olives

[nocturne flicker]

I can eat the flesh, but the goo is what induces my urge to spew

[safe cape]

olives s tier

ez

[hoary zodiac]

olives taste weird

[mortal grail]

Every time you go to a restaurant there's like a 1 in 4 chance your dish is fragranted by olives lmao

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

that's fine

but a whole olive

olives works as a seasoning

[mortal grail]

Olive smell is an s tier accessory

[hoary zodiac]

but to eat a whole olive

💀

[nocturne flicker]

Like, I eat processed and cooked tomato products fine, I can eat salsa, pico de gallo and chopped tomato fine

[mortal grail]

I don't go out of my way to eat olives

[wraith fern]

No I’m not windows

[nocturne flicker]

But if any of the liquid with the seeds gets in my mouth it tastes like sewage

[wraith fern]

Windows bro

[mortal grail]

That's fascinating, to me like, the dregs of a salsa pot is basically tomato

[nocturne flicker]

I bit into a cherry tomato once and spent the next 5 minutes spitting into the sink and trying not to hurl

[tranquil pebble]

terminate the kernel

[mortal grail]

Roma tomatoes are small af weary

The seeds you don't even know they're there

Even if you try

If you're ever daring one day

Lol

I think large tomatoes is frankly a lot

LOL

But romas are tiny little pellets of acceptable intake

[wraith fern]

gonna delete system 32 at this point

might free up some ram

[mortal grail]

How is lightroom even using so much

[nocturne flicker]

I believe it is something in the gel that is inside the tomato itself rather than the flesh and the juices of the tomato

[unreal trail]

delete system64

[wraith fern]

importing like 10000 photos

💀

[mortal grail]

You can squeeze it out of romas very easily

Idk, might be a way for you to enjoy it

[wraith fern]

bro what if remus won and it was called reme 😭

[mortal grail]

They're so tiny it takes like 2 seconds

[wraith fern]

reme wasnt built in a day ahh

[mortal grail]

Lol

[wraith fern]

ok felix im gonna try for round 2

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe one day. I'm just too lazy

[wraith fern]

[mortal grail]

[dusk knot]

lets say the steamdeck

[velvet summit]

oh damn i got it working

i wouldnt really know any of that, most windows handhelds are going to be more powerful than android handelds, also almost, if not all of the videos only do comparisons to other android devices like the RP5 and the AYN odin 2 portal
