Either you have enough RAM or not. So if you can't use more than 16GB then you'll just degrade your performance.

Game looks absolutely amazing. The tech is interesting as well. Game seems to run on two engines and the input is decoupled from the framerate!!!

Are these good stats for RX 6800 XT in Furmark burn in test?
WereCat replied to throwaway60540's topic in Graphics Cards
IDK how to judge performace based on Furmark bench... Furmark is usefull as a power virus to max out the power on the card as much as possible. I can tell you that the stock power of 6800 XT is 255W and this card is definitely running in a power limited state. In adrenaline SW you can go down to -6% from the stock power limit which would make it run at 239.7W max. Considering this card runs even lower than that suggest that either it's further limited by max clock and heavy undervolt (which on stock is around 2500MHz) or has some other SW or HW modifications. Either way, ask him to run this card in stock config and ask what are both the avg GPU temp and the hotspot temp. -
The beauty of the Linux ecosystem
WereCat replied to CosmicEmotion's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Define "just works" because from my experience there is no distro where things "just work". I always have to fix some stupid stuff and almost give up in the process. The irony being that the things you think are easy to fix take hours / days to find solution to and the things you think may be impossible just sometimes take one command line Obviously over time you learn to deal with these things but if you're new you often don't even know WHAT to search for to find the solution. I feel like people get hyped into Linux with and then get frustrated and leave. Instead of going in expecting a big learning curve at the start... unless you literally just need a web browser and text editor. (even then you can run into issues). And people who already know how to tread the waters a bit will also probably know what distro suits them better at this point so I don't really see much point in posts like this. I agree that ARmoury Crate is bad. I always disable it in the BIOS immediately.. same for the GIGABYTE and MSI alternatives. -
This looks quite promising for gaming performance

not that I don't play singleplayer games
That's all right, use whatever suits you best.
I'm just saying that Linux gaming can be viable, not that everyone should switch.
I myself wouldn't install any of those games with kernel based rootkit so 95%+ of my Steam library is playable on Linux without issues if I exclude those games.

but I mean they already run without issues most of them, if they're optimized, optimization.. the developer's nemesis

can the added resistance like this change the sound?
Most likely yes. Can reduce signal strength and introduce noise.

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.

I think I've found THE game

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+.

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.

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

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.

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

CPU seems all right. People get around 806 points and CB has some variation in scores so it depends, this is close enough. I'd suspect your RAM is the limiting factor then but if you're not comfortable and don't know how to navigate the BIOS then theres not much I can really help with as RAM tuning can lead to some weird issues if not tested correctly for stability. And stability testing for RAM takes at the very least hours and sometimes days depending on what you're trying to achieve. At the very least update BIOS to the latest version and maybe things will improve if you're on something really old. (if you're comfortable with that).
