    Network technologies for gaming - Wifi versus Ethernet *spawn

    This is weird, I am of the belief you are just trolling now. Or we are really really talking about something very different. There is no OFDMA in 802.11ac, but fine that might be typo and you meant AX. But you compare it to N so maybe not. M in OFDM stand for multiplexing, so what are you...

    Network technologies for gaming - Wifi versus Ethernet *spawn

    Come on now :D , I never said multiplexing was new in Wifi 6, I wrote OFDMA. Which is a specific thing and is supposedly so much better than OFDM. And you where the one that brought up 2000+ subchannels/resource units in Wifi 6/7 and claimed it made my assertion obsolete due to those...

    Network technologies for gaming - Wifi versus Ethernet *spawn

    There was no OFDMA in Wifi before Wifi 6. That was one of the new shiny things, that got promoted as big with 6. Variations and optional stuff is just brand proprietary that does not get used by anybody else. Every chip vendor that is in IEEE or Wifi Alliance fight to get in their pet items and...

    Network technologies for gaming - Wifi versus Ethernet *spawn

    OFDMA was introduced in 802.11ax/Wifi 6, ie in WiFi 5, OFDM was used. Mobile networks used it before WiFi, but in regards to WiFi, it was introduced with ax/6. So your 1970s statement what is mandatory is not correct in regards to WiFi. I am open to you speaking of some other OFDMA that is not...

    Network technologies for gaming - Wifi versus Ethernet *spawn

    The real world practical effect of OFDMA in noisy WiFi is still debatable, especially with OFDM in competition for RF resources. Also many of the early Certified Wifi6 devices did not even support OFDMA properly even if it was a certification requirement. On top of that, many vendors do not even...

    Network technologies for gaming - Wifi versus Ethernet *spawn

    Okay, I understand i poked a hornets nest here. How to explain without it being the boy who cried wolf. A comparison, even though they never are 100% correct. If you buy a car and have the choice between 4WD and 2WD and everything else is about the same, then 4WD is a better choice in almost all...

    Activision Blizzard continued issues

    Can he not be a douchebag and good at his job aka making money for shareholders. It depends on the lens you look through, I bet there are tons of business people that thinks he is great, based on is results.

    Ethernet is not required, but if you want to make sure you have the best experience you will have that over a cable and not a radio link. All else equal you should see better ping times when cabled and also less jitter. Which will impact the data stream. Game streaming tries to do its magic, but...

    I am sure you know more about Data center networking than I do, but I will stand on the barricades for last-mile and in home networking :P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Leading_the_People#/media/File:Eug%C3%A8ne_Delacroix_-_Le_28_Juillet._La_Libert%C3%A9_guidant_le_peuple.jpg Yes, you...

    Network technologies for gaming - Wifi versus Ethernet *spawn

    As I said it works until it does not :D But seriously, yes wifi is great it works well enough in most situations and scenarios. But if you capture the wifi traffic on the channel(s) your wifi network uses, you will see that you have loss of data and retransmission that affects your stream of...

    Network technologies for gaming - Wifi versus Ethernet *spawn

    I say this as a person that has a paycheck that is dependant upon on our wifi sales, ALWAYS cable your stuff if you can. Wifi is for convenience and not reliability and stability. Wifi is good enough until its not :)

    Do you think there will be a mid gen refresh console from Sony and Microsoft?

    Very much your view and not very much that supports it with the information that is public now, from what I know at least. Sony might drop the price on PS5 and release PS5Pro at the "current" price, but all indications are that they will have to sell with loss. I know there was the meaningful...

    Do you think there will be a mid gen refresh console from Sony and Microsoft?

    I did not think there would be a mid-gen device this gen, but then of course the leaks/rumours "confirm" that Sony will release one and MS might not. Initially I did not see why/what it would be for, officially PS4Pro was to hit 4K with the PS4 platform and I really see no similar reason for a...
