For the next Die Shrink we thought it might be good to do something fun - submit questions, topics, or even just general subjects below that you want Tom and Dan to discuss disagreements on...

Examples could be:

At the same price would you get a 6750 XT or a 3070?

How important do you think Ray Tracing is when evaluating GPUs?

Who games on console more?  Why?

What Battlefield do you think is the most under or overrated?

^You aren't required to ask those exact questions (feel free to though!), but hopefully that gives you all an idea of what we are looking for.  Anything from AMD/Intel/Nvidia, to Apple, to software, to video games is totally fair game.  Ask away!

You have ~24 hours (Until 1/25/23 Afternoon US Central Time)

Who curses more from game/OS/hardware bugs?

What's the best modern Battlefield and why is it Battlefield 3 w/ the Back to Karkand DLC?

In August 24th of 2018, I made a bet with someone that there would not be a single AAA game that required ray tracing to run in the next 5 years. The bet was for a top end gaming GPU appropriate to whatever is out at the time when the bet ends. As of Jan 24th, 2023, I am 7 months away from collecting my 4090. Tom and Dan, what was your thoughts on where raytracing would be 5 years from now when it was August of 2018? Would you have made the same bet if you were in my shoes 5 years ago? Do you think raytracing has had the impact you thought it would?

The EU have repeatedly tried to address the concerns of loot boxes (or surprise mechanics) and game addiction. Do you think gamers should be controlled on how they spend money?

KarbinCry

Yes or No: have you completely ran out of Die Shrink topics, and are thus completely creatively bankrupt?

KarbinCry

Are Killzone games good?

KarbinCry

Which one of you has the hotter takes?

KarbinCry

Nashville or Boston? (Go Bruins!)

Xavbeat03

Do Nvidia GPU's warrant their upcharge?

MooresLawIsDead

No lol - we actually have a handful of ideas down, and this one is one we've wanted to do for months :P

CompressedAIBlocks

Story based single player experiences or multiplayer zoomer games? :)

Coke. Specifically, cherry coke. From the can, obviously.

Which are your respective Genshin Impact waifus?

If the GPU apocalypse happened and both of your GPUs died and you went to the store and the only things on the shelves were a 2060 or a A770 which one will you choose? Also this will be the only card you can get for the foreseeable future.

Joachim Haugen

Which one of you is the most "uncoachable" in something you are good at? 🙂

Joachim Haugen

Which one of you would be the most unlikely to buy a A770 as you main gpu both had more than enough money

Hey Tom and Dan. Here's a fun one, are mobile gamers to be considered REAL gamers?

dj5k

Disregarding the operating system, why are MacBook Pros the best laptop available? Are the OEMs too incompetent to build something of similar quality all around (having great or at least good chassis, trackpad, display, silent cooling system, speakers, keyboard, port selection at the same time) or do they hate money?

Zenja

Not maybe a disagreement topic, but still. For a new build, if you had an option of getting a prebuilt (assuming it is marginally more expensive) would you still go and DIY? I know you both are pretty busy, so I wonder if you retained (or even had in the first place) passion for tinkering with the hardware itself. Also, use this to promote SilverKnights - gave you a perfect segue there.

After a Freaky Friday body swap, who fails harder, and who fails worse?

Ryzza5

Gamers Nexus or Hardware Unboxed?

Ryzza5

Who is the better gamer?

ishould

Would you prefer performance to stay exactly the same for the foreseeable future but with lower prices and TDPs, or the current paradigm but with 450W+ becoming the new "sweet spot" on the voltage/frequency curve?

QuickJumper

If you had to choose right now with these prices 7900xtx or 4080 what would you choose? Is there something that would change your opinion like pricing change or driver improvements?

AI Generated Fish

What do you both think are appropriate gen over gen performance uplifts for GPU tiers and what do you think the pricing should be for these tiers? I.e. should the 70 be as strong as the strongest card from the prior gen and be $450 - 550?

Pepsi makes mountain dew which is the superior beverage. Mic drop.
