    Paul Rudd got a reaction from filpo in [UK] 7900 XT down to £629   
    Nice find, transient power spikes on this model look much better at 390 watts max and averaging at around 335 watts. A 750 watt PSU is recommended by AMD for an RX 7900 XT but unless you got some high powered CPU a 650W PSU is plenty. The GPU temp should be excellent in the low 60's but hotspot in the mid 80's(still good) for this particular XFX Speedster MERC 310 model. Noise should be pretty noticeable at 37-42 dBA so be sure to balance out noise if it's too loud and since GPU temp is excellent in the low 60's you've got tons of degrees to work with for a more quiet operation.

    Paul Rudd got a reaction from 220VoltsallCore in why does every youtubers buy high end camera and still just upload non hdr videos.   
    HDR is out is my expertise, all I know about HDR is that there are many forms of HDR and most of them are pretty basic and nothing special. As for contrast ratio, it's also out of my expertise. I just remember there's backlight and dim light gimmicks involved in certain types of contrasting and that native contrasting is more important than those gimmick types of contrasting. I also remember a VA monitor has a higher contrast ratio than an IPS monitor but a VA monitor also has ghosting issues when it comes to high frame rate gaming. I definitely notice things such as washed out colors or blacks not being the deepest blacks on my current TN monitor but these are not things I invest a lot of time noticing so it doesn't bother me when I spot them.

    Paul Rudd got a reaction from OU812 in [US] $70 down from $90 - 10TB 3.5" WD DC HC510 HDD Refurbished at Newegg   
    It ain't goin' nowhere.
    $40 more and take away 2 TB?
     
    $110 for 8 TB isn't bad but $70 for 10 TB is a steal.
    Some reviews could be fake or lies, so this is understandable. Hell, maybe the 5 Newegg reviews are fake, who knows. I just know I've never had a single HDD mess up on me. Every single one is still alive and kicking. I dunno if it's because of how I use them or what but I love em'. And I've left a 5 star positive review for each one.
     
    The only con I've experienced from an HDD is boot time when the power goes out during an online competitive gaming session. When the power goes out and I'm forced to turn on my PC after it's been powered off from the power outage, it takes a good 4-6 minutes to get back into the game before my team loses because it's 4v5.
     
    Boot time when first turning on my PC any day of the week is not a con though because each night I just put my PC to sleep. So when I turn it on, it's the same 10 seconds an SSD is.
     
    And for this reason, my personal PC still has Windows installed on my 1 TB HDD. People tell me to get an SSD for it all the time for it, I never do.

    Knightfall A Daring Journey also has the same exact publisher as all the games I just mentioned. So this could mean that Clustertruck, Stick Fight The Game, Square Brawl or ROUNDS could eventually be given out for free too since Totally Accurate Battle Simulator was also given out on Christmas Day of 2019 on the Epic Games store.

    Paul Rudd got a reaction from 220VoltsallCore in can you share steam games without telling your password to friends   
    RDR2 is understandable to wanna share but Left 4 Dead 2 hits literally $1 all the time and Warhammer Vermintide commonly sits at $2. I say have them spend $1 to $2 to play those two games with you and in the mean time I just found out that this new Family Sharing feature is still in Beta so many people are getting an error when trying to use it and this is because a lot of the BIG developers have opted OUT of this new Family Sharing feature. Which means RDR2 is most likely not on board with this new feature. I also found out that you must be in the same country as your friend for this feature to work.

    I'm not familiar with this new Family Sharing feature but what I can easily recommend you make sure to do is never give out any passwords to anybody, keep your passwords to yourself. I'd also think this new feature would not require anyone to give any passwords to anybody.

    Nomads of Driftland is an RTS game initially created as an add-on to Driftland The Magic Revival(74% Mostly Positive reviews on Steam). Since it is significantly different from the base game, the devs decided to release it as a standalone expansion and make it available as FREE TO PLAY on Dec 7, 2020.

Rock Paper Shotgun praised the game's ability to make players feel like they have skillfully averted a major catastrophe while maintaining balanced gameplay, though they criticized an occasional lack of choice in some areas. Although saying that the game is fun when played in bite-sized chunks, PCGamesN compared it negatively to Into the Breach, FTL Faster Than Light and Slay the Spire, which the reviewer felt were more fun in longer gameplay sessions.
