  1. Warzone is free and they baked the game into the same client as the MP and SP version of MW. When you go to install it you should be able to pick which version to download and install.
  2. Yeah, you're getting lower GPU score than my 3060ti by almost 2000.
  3. there is more bitrate available to resolutions above 1080p and they also tend to be encoded in VP9 instead of h.264 so you get higher quality even at the same bitrate... so it snowballs into much better quality than 1080p, it's definitely not pointless
  4. Regarding the major XZ vulnerability on Linux.

     

    My Pop!_OS is XZ version is 5.4.1 so I assume that's the safe one. Is that correct?

      Only 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 were affected to my knowledge so you should be safe.

  5. Not sure how to even answer this because that will vary wildly from game to game. Obviously if you expect newest/new-ish AAA games to run well then you may be disappointed if that is also the majority of games you plan on playing. There are thousands upon thousands of games on Steam that run really well on the Deck and are fun and still look amazing. Best to look at what kind of games you want to play, just go on YT and search Steam Deck X (X=game you want to play) and see how well it plays. Regarding emulation, I can't comment on that since I never tried emulating anything on SD. I personally play trough older AAA games and indie games and don't really have issues with FPS.
  6. This is quite brutal and tragic lesson...

      I remember seeing this one. Brutal indeed.

  7. Rust is very CPU and memory intensive game, you're most likely CPU bound.

    Anyone else has this issue recently with YT app…

    I also forgot to mention that I can actually pause/play/skip/rewind the video from the lock screen or the notification bar but just can't get directly into the app. It's really weird and buggy and annoying.
  9. Jerry rigged the system so he can actually do a tax write off on this. It's an exception in his case. He probably also colludes with Linus and destroys these devices in his pool.
  10. It should be at the very least 50% performance upgrade in non-CPU bound scenarios so it's up to you to decide if that's worth it.

      Worms is part of the Street name from one of their locations in Germany: https://www.lit.de/en/

       

      Tho I mean technically since they're just a logistics Company they could be transporting Worms as well I guess.

      Still not as annoying as BMW and Mercedes drivers.

  13. Anyone else has this issue recently with YT app on Android 14 (Pixel 7 in my case)? 

     

    I watch YT in the app and then switch to web browse while just listening to the video. Then I want to switch back to YT and it wont let me, neither by clicking on the app icon or by trying to select it from running tasks. Tapping basically does not react at all but all other opened apps work fine. 

    Only way to fix it is to kill the YT app and start again. 

     

    Restarting phone did not help. Haven't tried to reinstall the app yet.

      I've been having an issue where Shorts autoplay after watching one. Strange part is, Comments and Share link remain as those for the first Short watched until I physically swipe to another Short.

       

      Also ran into a few cases where the UI was unresponsive until I switch from/back to the YouTube app.

       

      The YouTube app is seriously buggy imo.

      I have this issue with multiple apps, Occasionally if I ignore them they just eventually crash.

  14. Yeah, I think I need to take a nap, I looked at the same video before posting and IDK what I saw when I commented this... I take it back sorry
  15. 1.) Game is extremely CPU intensive and your CPU is quite old and underperforming for this game and depending a lot on where you're located on the map and how many players are there in the vicinity the performance will vary a lot. 2.) Same for the VRAM requirements though I haven't played this on 4GB card but I know this game can sometimes allocate almost entire VRAM regardless if it needs it or not, you may run into some areas where you're actually suffering from the lack of VRAM and have to pool your DRAM as a substitute which on DDR3 will be very slow and impact performance quite a bit more than if you were using more modern platform. I know you mentioned it sometimes run ok... do you always test in the same area on the map at least? The game also tends to run a lot better once more players are eliminated so at the start of the game you may have issues if you land somewhere where there's lots of people and then it can get better towards the end. Or you may be lucky and land somewhere where there's almost nobody and have the impression the game runs a lot better because of that. It's a tricky game to benchmark, comparing with friends systems is not that straightforward.
  16. I'd argue that the i3 12100f is quite a bit better gaming CPU than Ryzen 5 5500 (which due to the lack of cache is more comparable to the Ryzen 5 3600 rather than it's other Zen3 peers). So at minimum I would go for Ryzen 5 5600 if he decides to go AM4 route. But the i3 build is also cheaper so...

    You mean like a chain mail?
  19. I'm just showing an example where you basically have a "checkbox" option to provide your age and almost everybody is over 18+... so I agree with your comment

    It do be like that:

  21. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart ... imo one of the best looking games right now that are also fun to play.
  22. For big workstations with ton of storage and PCIe devices for people who need this to earn money. Not intended as a desktop replacement for your gaming PC and web browsing needs.
  23. Primary timings are not very important if secondaries are tuned properly which they should be to some extent with AMD EXPO so no... there is little reason to go from CL36 to 30 at the same speed.
  24. tRFC is extremely slow. But that does not matter as much if your tREFI is high enough. What is your tREFI right now? The 2T command rate is not really that big of a deal. That said, you could probably claw back like 5% to 10% perf from memory tuning but if your 1% lows are in single digits it will not make that big of a difference. Don't disable mitigations if you use this PC for anything other than gaming... Yes, they do have a performance hit on your system but they are negating a huge security flaw in Intel CPUs.
