  1. 超ちゃぶ台返し 2 is one of my favorites but gotta go to Japan or an arcade specializing in Japanese games to play it most likely. Probably not a great MAME experience since the controller is a table you smash in anger and then flip over as hard as you can.
  2. A few of my favorites: Shinobi Kung Fu Master Ninja Baseball Batman Double Dragon Zaxxon Street Fighter II Turbo Golden Axe Galaga Ms Pacman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vs Super Mario Bros Mortal Kombat II Defender Mario Bros QBert Out Run
  3. Can you get 60 fps in Elden Ring on that cpu? On a Xeon E3-1231v3 (Basically an i7-4790 non K without an igpu and marketed as a low end server cpu) at launch I had slowdowns playing Elden Ring with my 1660 Super. Hopefully it's better now but that old cpu could not run that game worth a crap and had my 1660 Super at pretty low usage. Also bottlenecked my 1660 Super on Cyberpunk at launch too. Was plenty for 60 fps on RDR 2 though. I don't think I'd go any higher than 1660 Super or 2060 on such an old cpu.
  4. TBH I'd be mad AF trying to play Vice City on a mouse and keyboard too. Controller all the way for third person games.
  5. I know Skylake is decently more powerful than Haswell, but my Xeon E3-1231v3 (basically an i7-4790) bottlenecked even a GTX 1660 Super on Cyberpunk back in the day. Like framerates in the low 40s with corresponding low gpu usage at 1080p. The other games on your list that I played on that cpu were RDR2 and Resident Evil 2 Remake and that Haswell cpu was plenty to stay over 60 fps at all times in those two. I remember RDR2 I could get well into the 80s using Hardware Unboxed's optimized settings for the game when I turned VSync off and was still gpu limited by my 1660 Super, though I never played RE2 without VSync.
  6. I only have the base PS5, but most games have really good 60 fps modes. Every once in a while you'll run into a dog like Final Fantasy XVI that runs in the 40s and looks awful or Final Fantasy VII Rebirth whose 60 fps mode uses a nearest neighbor upscale that looks super blurry. Though for the latter I think PS5 Pro has a much better 60 fps mode with PSSR instead of the blurry nearest neighbor upscale the game uses on base PS5. Now GTA VI I imagine is going to be 30 fps but overall I doubt you'll need to be playing 30 fps modes too often, especially on PS5 Pro.
  7. I think the floor for PS5's VRR is 48Hz.
  8. Just installed the Spirit 120 and compressing video with x265 only gets my cores up to about 55C now after compressing video for an hour. That sends the cpu to 100C on all cores within a couple of seconds on the stock cooler. Hell, the stock cooler would sometimes be in the 50s just running Windows with a couple of youtube videos open. Thanks for the recommendation!
  9. Jesus Christ those prices are soul crushing. $630 for the cheapest RTX 5070 is horrific. Mine was $490 back in November (actually $440 because I got a friend to use an employee discount). I swear the only thing in gaming that's a good deal these days is monitors. I hope Sam Altman gets AIDS.
  10. The fan is screaming; the Intel stock cooler is awful lol. Ordered a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 to replace that pos but it hasn't arrived yet.
  11. So glad to see OLEDs finally becoming affordable. Have wanted one for more than a decade but didn't have any interest in paying the unobtanium prices OLEDs have sold for in the past. Finally jumped this month when I saw the MSI MPG 271QRX drop to $600 though. Just wish I would have gotten it in time for the RE Requiem giveaway to still have codes left lol.
  12. Nah no overclock but you can set a 120W power target on my board (MSI B660m Mortar WIFI)
  13. Any comparable cooler you'd recommend with a better fan that stays in the sub $50 range? Though I guess I'm not too concerned with having the quietest fan since my PNY RTX 5070 is kind of loud; nowhere near as quiet as the PowerColor Red Devil RX 6700 XT it replaced.
  14. My board lets me run it at the 120W power limit, which I do. If I left it running 65W I suspect even the stock cooler would be enough.
