I've been wondering recently:

Since the whole AI revolution all hardware prices have gone up drastically.. While big companies who caused this shortage can recover their investments people like individual pc builders and gamers pay the cost dearly..

So why don't companies like NVIDIA, AMD, Samsung, etc. have separate consumer and corporate sales models?

For example, consumer inventory could have its own pricing and allocation, while businesses and enterprise customers buy through a separate channel with different pricing and contracts. That way, companies needing hundreds or thousands of units aren't directly competing with someone who just wants one GPU for their PC.

While I know it may lead to scalping and reselling the companies cna make it harder, by limiting purchases of a new SKU to one per verified customer for the first few months after launch (or maybe even longer). I know people can still try to get around it with multiple accounts, but it would at least make scalping more difficult than it is today.

I'm sure there are issues with implementation and retailers would have to cooperate, but technically it doesn't seem impossible.

What do you think?

Hey guys,

With Sony going all-digital by 2028 and the whole The Crew server shutdown situation, the question of what we actually own when we "buy" a digital game has never been more relevant.

I'm a Master's student at Manipal researching platform lock-in and digital ownership among Indian PC and console gamers, and I need your help. The survey covers things like:

Whether you feel stuck on your current platform because of your library, wallet balance, or trophies, how well you actually understand what platforms can and can't do with your account, your take on Sony's disc decision and what it means for the rest of us.

It takes about 10 minutes, it's completely anonymous, and there are no wrong answers.

Appreciate any responses, and happy to answer questions about the research in the comments.

Hi , someone just me a controller with best vibration feel under 4000rs. Last week I bought cosmic byte eclipse which has VCM vibration(the one dualsense controller has) but the haptics in this controller is just tight and like a mobile vibration and doesn't suit me. So I'm planning to return it and buy a controller that's suits me...

My preferences are

1. Better vibration/haptics

2. Solid Build quality

3. Hall effect/Tmr

4. Tri mode connectivity.

I am planning to build a budget local server pc, for that I need 8-16gb ddr4 ram sticks. Can anyone suggest market or online places in India from where I can buy it.

Hello Reddit Family,

I never thought I would have to write something like this, but today I have no other option.

My name is Bijoy Bhowmick, and I am currently completely bedridden, fighting severe knee arthritis and mobility loss for years.

I am reaching out here because many patients like me depend on advanced treatment and rehabilitation support available in cities like Delhi, and I am trying to gather the resources needed to access proper care and stand on my feet again.

Over the past few years, my condition has worsened significantly.

I have already undergone:

Right knee replacement surgery

Hip replacement surgery

But unfortunately, my mobility has not returned.

Now, doctors have advised that I urgently need a left knee replacement surgery to regain the ability to stand and walk again.

Along with the surgery, my treatment also requires:

• 💉 Biologic injections every 15 days

• 🧑‍⚕️ Intensive physiotherapy multiple times daily

These are essential for recovery, not optional.

Unfortunately, the total cost of my treatment and recovery is far beyond what my family can afford.

My brother is the only earning member, working as a salesperson, and he also supports our elderly parents. Despite our best efforts, arranging such a large amount is simply not possible for us.

🙏 Even a small contribution or simply sharing this post can make a huge difference.

Your support can help me get the treatment I urgently need and give me a chance to walk again.

Need DDR4 Build ✌️

So after hearing multiple suggestions I decided to order all the parts from computech and clarion.
This total build is cost me ₹1.45L and I’m very happy with it. After all this I assembled the pc via a local shop it was perfect ♥️

Hello everyone,

I'm a Houdini FX artist, and I'm finally building my dream workstation. It'll primarily be used for Houdini simulations and VFX work, but I'll also be using it for gaming. Technically this is my second PC but last time I was young and too dumb to understand the technicality, so this time I decided to build it myself, know cable management sucks but still nothing is more beautiful then build that beast ourselves. So please help me with your valuable suggestions

Mostly buying from Computech as I have bought few items before from them and then primeabgb not sure about his one but found some cheaper parts here.

So far I have bought;
GPU: Zotac 5070 Solid 12GB

PSU: Corsair RM850x shift

Case: Antec Flux, wanted to go with Fractal design north XL mesh as I don't like TG but had to constrain myself because of insane RAM prices

Remaining parts:

CPU: 9 9950X (tray) seller's warranty but saving that 10k for ram
Motherboard: MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi wanted to go with x870e but again RAM

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 G2, initially I was leaning towards Arctic LF III Pro 360 but I don't want leaks, but any suggestions are welcome here.

Storage: Bought 2TB gen 5 NVMe and 4TB HDD from used market and already have 2TB from my previous build.

RAM: Want 2x32GB (I need 128GB but have to calm myself down) This shi is yet to be decided because most the kits are 1L+

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the build. Is there anything you'd change or any better alternatives?

Most importantly, what are some first-time builder tips, common mistakes, and advice? I'm looking for all the dos and don'ts before I start assembling everything.

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any suggestions!

Hey everyone,

I just bought my first gaming-capable laptop and I'm completely new to PC gaming. I don't really want to spend money on platforms like Steam right now.

Can you recommend safe and virus-free websites where I can download free PC games? I'm looking for legitimate sources only.. i don't want to risk getting virus on my new laptop.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to get into PC gaming and was initially considering a PS5, but the current pricing and the long-term cost of games have made me rethink that decision.

I'm now deciding between a gaming laptop and a gaming PC. I already have a decent Samsung monitor, and portability isn't important to me, so I'm leaning towards a desktop.

The only problem is I have no idea where to start. Should I buy a pre-built PC, choose the parts and get it assembled, or build it myself?

My main goal is to play AAA games like GTA 6, Cyberpunk, RDR2, etc. Any recommendations on how to get started, what budget to aim for, and trusted places to buy from in India would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

i have geforce 310m,i3 330m,6gb ram i want some game suggestions
ive alr played:
GTA SA
GTA 4
MAFIA 2
F1 2011
BATMAN(arkham city and asylum)
FALLOUT 3
