Free alternatives to photoshop and premiere pro are GARBAGE, and im a broke 23 year old, i aint payin adobe $50/month so i can enjoy my hobby of content creation. I also got the "crack" (its more of a patcher not a crack) from the "official" source of GenP. Theyve been around as long as Creative Cloud has been. they are as reputable as it gets when it comes to cracking/patching

Why would it take a month and a half to flag that?

I Havent installed/downloaded anything (other than twitch vods of my own) in about a week and a half. I religiously do DAILY scans with windows defender and it never flags anything. Just randomly today while im in a game it gives me a popup like "HEY YOU HAVE THREATS" Any idea what these could be from? I dont download cheats for my games or anything. The most "suspicious" thing ive downloaded recently was GenP (an adobe cracker, thats VERY reputable) but that was about a month and a half ago. Most recent thing i installed was OperaGX about a week and a half ago.

I just checked micro center, ebay, and amazon. All 3 show me over $300 before i even have ram in the cart with a 5700x3d. Those chips are about $250 themselves

Would you say to go with an x3d chip over a regular x chip? I'm not at a point where I am ready to drop all the money to upgrade to am5 and DDR5 currently, just want to get to a solid point with this setup where its at. Total Budget for CPU & RAM upgrade is about $300. theres a little bit of wiggle room there if needed though. Though If i go with a crazy hot chip, I will probably need to get a new cooler as well, because I am currently running a coolermaster 120mil AIO i got with my first build when ryzen first launched with my 1600x.

Just like the title says, I am Looking to potentially add a second GPU to my system to help with encoding for my livestreams. My current system: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600x RAM: Trident Z Neo 2x8 @ 3600 GPU: EVGA RTX 2080ti What I am planning to get as part of my "upgrade" to help me stream and game on this system more proficiently CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x Ram: Teamgroup Tforce 2x32 @ 3600 GPU: Intel Arc A380 The CPU will be a drop in replacement obviously, ram will be added to what I already have to make a total of 80gb, and arc card will also be added to strictly encode. Though my big question is even when I am streaming and gaming on my current system, is this all even worth it? My CPU sits at 95% utilization, ram at 90%, and gpu just chillin at like 60% (All according to task manager). I do notice major dips in frame in the games i play (call of duty and helldivers) when i am streaming. But when I am not streaming and playing these games I feel like I am leaving performance on the table because nothing ever goes above 70% utilization if i am only play the game and not streaming.

After watching a few videos on the topic, I decided to enable Re-Bar in bios for my system. I open the EVGA Precision X1 software and it says that my GPU is not new enough. I have an EVGA 2080ti. Upon my research online, this card supports Re-Bar. Any suggestions?

I have discord open connected to one fairly inactive server, but im a member of a lot of servers. from what i can see, streamlabs obs takes most of my resources, along with spotify.

Its on the factory air cooler with fresh paste and most of the thermal pads.

Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Call of Duty, Helldivers 2, Halo, streaming with Streamlabs OBS, editing with premiere pro. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I currently have a system that works most of the time but I’m wanting to get more into the content creation side of things and it’s struggling to keep up. cpu: ryzen 5 3600x mobo: Mai Meg x570 ace ram: 2x8 16gb 3200mhz kit gpu: evga 2080ti psu: thermaltake 650w i have the cpu “turned up to 11” in the bios and regularly see 4+ ghz out of it, I have the gpa under locked as I bought it second hand and was told there’s no thermal pads on the vram because he had it in a water block (which he included) and I don’t want to fry it. It’s been stable like this for over a year. while streaming helldivers 2 I run the game at sub 30fps. Call of duty I run 60-100fps. Both my cpu and ram are maxed according to task manager. What would be the sensible thing for me to upgrade next?

Now I know the LTT crew has done a video on this in the past, though I can not find it. I have acquired an older dell 7010 optiplex and plan to use it as somewhat of an “external hard drive” server for my personal data. It will only be me accessing it, and I have no worries about sensitive data as I Dont intend to keep any on there. That said I only plan to access this from my main desktop (windows 11) and am curious if just making the drive(s) network shared on windows or a Linux setup would be better/easier. I have never really used Linux before so I’ll have absolutely 0 idea what I’m doing.

I submitted a ticket to the email i "thought" it was, but I can not find any email history from rockstar on any emails, so I honestly dont know. and to be completely honest: in 2020 some friends and i all downloaded the 2take1 mod menu, played for a few months and then havent touched it since. redownloaded today and found this.

This SPECIFIC account has the last 13 years of grinding on GTA online on it. and upon my research I cant unlink the account, once a steam and gta online account are linked, they cant be unlinked. i would have to rebuy the game.

I just redownloaded GTAV after 2 years of not touching it and go to launch it, it downloads and opens the rockstar social club and pops this up. I have NEVER had an email like this, and upon googling the domain I found that this is a "hijacking" of my account and I have NO idea what to do.

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/4917vs4409/Radeon-RX-7800-XT-vs-GeForce-RTX-3080-Ti The 3080ti had a decent bit better score according to this site, but it all comes down to what resolution you run, what games you play and so on. IF you can find a used 3090 in your price range, I would definitely go that route over ANYTHING else. Though take everything I and the others are saying with a grain of salt, after all, we are just strangers on the internet. Don't purchase anything off of just what we say, do your own research to verify what we say
