After playing some more today the thumbnail makes perfect sense now

Most likely yes. Can reduce signal strength and introduce noise. That's such a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious word

Adapt, adapt, adapt, adapt, adapt, adapt, overcomplicate

Probably https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9MHqqs/gigabyte-gs27q-x-270-2560-x-1440-250-hz-monitor-gs27q-x There are hardly any options in that price range with those specs

Same. I either look at rtings or Monitors Unboxed. Regarding the OP, the GPU choice for lowish settings from the cards you mentioned will not really matter as much as a good CPU that can push and maintain high and stable frames.

Yeah, when I hear "My pyramid..." I know they are from Latin America

Reminds me of... "Go buy bread and if they have eggs get ten." Gets home with 10 breads because they had eggs.

Will vary wildly from game to game. My 3900X was holding back my 3060ti in some CPU intensive games at 1440p while being more than enough in GPU intensive games. And what I mean by "holding back" is that I got only around 60-90FPS instead of 120FPS+.

Speaking of dead batteries. Our just 1y old photovoltaic hybrid system now has 1 busted battery and the other 12.6V battery measures just around 11.6V-11.8V now... (lead-acid batteries) so we have to RMA.

Are you sure? These games are marvels vs Gollum

In preparation for the Dentist Office DLC... But don't you hate it when you get a city builder in the middle of your football game?

Is there a spec that lists 180° mode on Notebooks?
WereCat replied to philipt99's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
My Lenovo Yoga opens to 180° and it's also listed in spec as a feature. Most modern 14" laptops I was looking at before I bought this one could open up to 180°° -
How much % better does it make? 15-20 FPS without context is meaningless info. 15-20FPS more when the other one is at 40FPS is a lot. 15-20FPS more when the other one is at 120FPS is not really significant.

Last time I had this good support was when my first ever Kingston SSD broke outside of warranty period and I emailed them just to confirm it's the drive issue. They told me to send it to them and have sent me brand new model as a replacement without even asking for it.

AFAIK I have the good one otherwise it would probably not last almost 5y already

My Arctic Cooling tech support experience:
I bought Liquid Freezer II 360 in 2019.
I just sent a mail to them like a week ago to request for the offset mount for Ryzen and included my invoice of purchase.
They replied few days later saying they are sorry it took so long and that they have already shipped the parts + extra standoff in case I lost them as the new mounting mechanism now uses some of the Intel parts that were unused for Ryzen before.
Not only it did arrive 2 days later from Germany... they also included thermal paste and cleaning stuff for free. Quite awesome!

Arctic customer service is otherworldly by today's standard
2 years ago I bought a big tube of the "oily" MX-5, months later when the oiliness issue was acknowledged I RMAed it, they accepted and sent me instead 2 big tubes of MX-4 ! (MX-6 wasn't released at that time)
Great !

Did you get the "QC passed" version or the version that needs water block change?
The one I bought got a water block filled with gunk before swapping it to an alternative (sent from Arctic for free).

Really depends from the games art style and which settings we're talking about. In general Ultra settings tend to be not worth it over high but some settings can be noticeably worse on medium/low vs high. I like cranking up textures as long as you have enough VRAM as that tends to be a big visual impact for little to no performance hit. Screen Space Reflections in Cyberpunk 2077 have for example extremely high performance impact on FPS to the point that when maxed out they almost have as much performance hit as just enabling RT reflections... But I can't tell difference between the lowest settings except off (which gives me almost 80FPS boost) and the highest one.

RANDOM PUBLISHERS POV Gamers in 2025 when the heavily upscaled $100 game runs smooth like a sandpaper.

I don't know why you play games
-
I can't be really bothered. The whole point was to use the controller wirelessly in the first place
-
I knew the battery life was supposed to be bad but I still expected to get at the very least full day out of it Guess I'll have to learn to play with more breaks, lol. I have just a short USB C cable so it's uncomfortable to play while plugged in.
-
The Dual Sense controller battery life is a joke but otherwise the controller is solid. I just miss the back paddles a bit.
I got like 6h of battery life playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I played for the first 2h with haptics enabled but the game makes the controller vibrate like crazy 90% of the time which got annoying really fast.
But still, I get like 3-6months of battery life with two AA batteries on Steam Controller.... wtf is this. Heck even my Razer Basillisk Ultimate mouse gets at least a whole week of intensive use without RGB.

I get solid 7 days out of my Xbox one gen2 controller lol. Batteries are 11 years old too.

I read somewhere that bluetooth protocol that sony uses with dualsense is pretty crap regarding energy consumption.
I have pretty much the same battery life as you, regardless if I am playing on PS5 or PC.
Fun fact - edge version of the controller have even smaller battery
