"Ding ding ding ding! Isn't it a surprise?"
Shen Jiayue proudly scooped up the two boxes, one was a 4090 graphics card, the other a PS5.
For men, these were all very tempting.
"Happy? Excited?"
Lin Xu smiled helplessly, pulled open the drawer under the TV cabinet, and took out a PS5 from inside:
"What do you think I'm supposed to be right now, happy or unhappy?"
The console had been at home for a long time, but he'd never played it.
As for the 4090, reviews online were very mixed.
The PC Lin Xu was using now, with a 3080Ti, had just the right power supply, motherboard, and CPU. If he swapped in a 4090, he'd have to replace the PSU, otherwise it couldn't handle the card.
And if the power supply was replaced, the motherboard would also have to be upgraded to the latest high-end model, otherwise it wouldn't match.
Plus the current 12th-gen i7 would also have to be replaced with an i9, or else pairing it with that GPU would be a tiny horse pulling a big cart—totally mismatched.
