Its not a strawman when you are developing and editing you can GPU offload which can improve sound quality for that task. Its not something that will make a difference while listening to a single track but it can impact the way music sounds while editing and developing with music.
I wasn't talking about multitasking while listening to music. I was talking about when you are developing and editing music with multiple streams and overlays where you can offload to the GPU to remove the sound shuttering. Which in turn improve the way the music sounds. When you aren't multi-tasking and doing this then upgrading the GPU can make the audio quality sound better.
There was a video posted talking about those bits of hardware impacting how music sounds. The context of the video matters because its not fair to make fun of them talking about that hardware if its aimed at people producing music. Like I said I was playing devil advocate.
I think it’s more about the manufactures plying their alleged snake oil. We seem to be stuck at the bottom rung of the ladder with this thread to be honest. You have to employ your due diligence when purchasing If its because it’s shiny and looks nice and you have the coin to buy it, who are we to say anything?
It pretty obvious from the video that it's referring to audio playback/streaming.
It’s got everything to with it my little antagonist. Some asked about the merits of using a £500 usb cable.....there is no short answer is there.
I was actually boring myself to death Reading what I posted. So I changed it . Apologies if what you said looks out of context.
James has just said you are all as dumb as a bag of rocks.
Its not a strawman as I didn't misrepresented the original argument saying I agree its snake oil and the specs makes no difference after a certain point when just listening to tracks. I went into the other side of the specs to explain when it does make a difference.
I have already said I agree with that for listening to single files. If you go back I said I hadn't watched the video and asked what is the context of who the person is selling to as it matters as that can turn the false statements into correct statements. Although this morning I just watched one of his videos and he was talking doubling ram from 4GB to 8GB and when multitasking with a bunch of programs listed the systems gets double to 16GB to give headroom. Do you disagree with that? Personally I think he is correct.
I don't disagree, but if you're in a position where you want to stream the highest fidelity music possible and a lack of ram will hinder that, then the simplest and cheapest option is to close some apps to free up some memory.
Why are you so insecure though?
The power cable made no difference and you have nothing to substantiate your claim.
He did though. He spent a reasonable amount of time at the conference video I watched explaining minimum ram for different situations. Which then got miss quoted as snake oil more RAM sounds better. But its not snake oil its 100% correct if you put the quote with the rest of his speech. The problem is he spent hours talking and the video making fun of him as snake oil is taking little snippets of what he said out of context. At least from what I have watched. Like I said there is hours but so far he has been correct.
