The Logical Increments Mouse Guide Returns!

The Mouse Guide Returns!

New to the redesigned site, our mouse recommendations (and explanations) are back, fully revamped for 2020.

Ways to Support Logical Increments

The Logical Increments PC Buying Guide helps people pick suitable parts for building a PC, for any budget, large or small. The main guide chart and our many guide articles are available to all users entirely for free, and without filling the site with annoying banner ads.

Over the years, many users have asked for ways to help support this site. For that, we thank you sincerely! If you want to help out, here are three ways that you can do that:

The Towering 64-Core Threadripper 3990X Update

At times there are earthquakes, and at times there are hurricanes. Volcanoes sometimes erupt, and meteors sometimes strike the earth. And when they are in the mood, sometimes AMD releases a 64-core, 128-thread consumer CPU that makes you sit up and wonder if you are in a dream. 64 cores! Sixty (60) four (4) cores (cores)!

Remember when 6-core CPUs became normal barely 2 years ago? “Haha, you foolish weaklings”, says AMD, as it unveils a CPU that is TEN TIMES more powerful. We need to send a letter to Dr. Lisa Su to inform her that this is a mistake, and it is not the year 2030 yet!

The Slightly Better APU Mini-Update

Some of the low-tier AMD CPUs released last year are now in a position to be added to our main build chart.

The Dramatic RX 5600 XT (and Minor GPU Updates)

After many rumours and much debate, the RX 5600 XT has been released. Originally slated to be a GTX 1660 “killer”, AMD re-positioned this card to compete with the RTX 2060.

From the reviews, you can see that it competes well with the 2060, beating it by a tiny margin. The 5600 XT is a $280 card, and the 2060 was a $350 card, so a victory is neat! More than just having high performance and a good price, though—this new card also uses little power, runs cool, and runs quiet. When you check all the main boxes, you have a winner!

But is it all sunshine and rainbows?

B450 MAX and X470 MAX Motherboards Update

MSI has a lineup of MAX (yes, allcaps) motherboards. These differ from the non-MAX editions in that they have a more MAXIMIZED bios, and thus can support a wider range of CPUs. Some have a slightly better heatsink.

The RX 5500 XT Launch

The RX 5500 XT by AMD is their latest and smallest graphics card in the RX 5xxx series. The launch is mediocre, so this post is going to be small to match.

Batch of Countries Added to the New Site, Part 1

This is just a quick update to let you all know that four more of our previously-supported countries are now fully migrated onto the new redesigned main chart.

Newly Added:

Germany
India
Italy
Netherlands

Extremist and Monstrous Tiers Get More Extremist and More Monstrous

The Ryzen 9 3950X was released about 2 weeks ago, but only hit the marketplace yesterday. Do not worry about buying one: These new chips are so good that they went out of stock instantly. But why is the R9 3950X good, and what does it replace? And what other changes are coming to the top tiers of the chart?

The Gargantuan Logical Increments Redesign Update

So many shiny new things!

After over a year of development, our main site and chart just received a major makeover—with new features, new capabilities, and a new look (while maintaining all of the old functionality).

NOTE: See something broken or missing? If you are reading this immediately after it went up, then you might encounter some broken or missing elements on the site for a short period of time. We’re trying to get all of these issues fixed as fast as possible. In the meantime, if you need to see something that is temporarily unavailable, you can head over to old.logicalincrements.com to access the old version of the site for the time being.
