Storage: 256GB mSATA SSD, 1TB 7200rpm HDD Displays: IPS (G-Sync), Acer Predator CG437K (G-Sync), Asus VG248QE Phoenix (Precision M6700 Covet): Storage: 512GB HP EX NVMe SSD, 512GB PRO-X-G2R NVMe SSD, 2TB Silicon Power NVMe SSD, 4TB WD Passport USB-C Watercooled Eluktronics THICC-17 (Clevo X170SM-G): It was best price to performance ratio at the time of purchase for what I need it.īut in all seriousness, it's because it favours intel and single core performance significantly meaning that a lot of the time the +x% means absolutely nothing despite people thinking it does, if you look down in the description of single/multicore performance it can be somewhat more useful but still not great. That is how I ended up with a 8700k and a 1070.

I know that for someone who doesn't understand how computers work it might not be that useful but for someone who can understand what each number means i think it is perfect and I've been personally using for many months now when picking new components. But I think it is a great way to approximately check how good a component is compared to some other ones.

how is a site that has hundreds of thousands of benchmarks bad? I understand it might not be accurate because of different sets of hardware, overclocks, benchmarking conditions, etc. As someone who has been into computer his whole life, and consider my self to be pretty knowledgeable in that area and up to date with all the trends, I am really surprised that all these tech youtubers are saying it is a bad site.
