    Would this be a reasonable upgrade from a 3060 ti at 1080p or 1440p? Any suggested places to try if you want to get one at launch?

    DOCSIS modem upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 worth it?

    I did not change my internet plan. The modem upgrade was in response to an email from Xfinity saying that the old one was holding back download speeds. In the email Xfinity said I could get up to 1200 Mbps with a DOCSIS 3.1 modem. I did not record the upload speed prior to the upgrade. The...

    DOCSIS modem upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 worth it?

    Update, upgraded to the Arris S33 DOCSIS 3.1 modem. Speedtest download result = 945 Mbps. This was again on ethernet and a Windows 10 PC.

    DOCSIS modem upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 worth it?

    Yes, that is why I worded my post "theoretically". My guess is real world speeds are nowhere close to 1200 Mbps. And it does not seem to router upgrade time yet all things considered.

    DOCSIS modem upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 worth it?

    Follow-up question: my router is the TP-Link AX1800 (Archer AX21). How fast are the LAN ports on this WiFi 6 router? I can't find this information on the Amazon listing. Hopefully fast enough to take advantage of the 1200 Mbps that is theoretically possible through Xfinity.

    Corsair SP2500 2.1 speakers + Sony X90J TV, Good Combo?

    I have had the Corsair speakers for years, they work great. The X90J has a headphone jack, so I was thinking about using the Corsairs. Good idea? I have heard that 2.1 speakers are superior to soundbars. Also, would it seriously degrade the sound quality if the speakers were placed behind...

    1080p vs 1440p second display for 2020 iMac

    Update, wife says the Acer 1440p has a picture that is more clear and brighter. Also, the mouse cursor had a curious problem on the 1080p second monitor. The cursor would go to a different level moving from iMac to 2nd monitor screen. I am guessing it is because the 1440p screen is an exact...
