Ah, yeah, I haven't try it yet, but I have return my card so I have no Intel Arc GPU to experiment. Maybe I'll try to get one soon.

O ho ho. Well, I mean I'm not surprise. Ryzen 7000 series desktops processors already show how power efficient they can be while outputting so much performance. So no surprise their mobile counterparts can pull it off. But yeah, Intel should improve. I'm not sure if Performance Core and Efficient Core helps. For me, I rather have 8 Efficient Cores than having... 8 Efficient Cores and 2 Performance Core. Just make the Efficient Core run at 2.5GHz should be adequate.

Ho ho, you haven't met one of their big shot yet. I did explain a bunch of thing in a post but I think it got deleted (maybe my rant became extreme, happens to me sometimes). TL;DR, we Malaysian working for most Korean company are not having pleasant experience. I don't say I'm surprise if they try to pull that stunt. Remember how they pay Apple? If that didn't give you an idea what they are, then I'm not sure how to explain further without getting too out of hand.

I would love to, but having only DX12 support throws me off. Most of my collection of games still run DX11 (with some running DX10 and a few rare ones run at DX9).

Well, this is a case where cheap chair manufactured using cheap material causes the hazard and doesn't really affect sitting posture or comfort.

Yep. But I haven't visited or played the game for a long time.

Senior System Engineer in IT Department of Private company, Malaysia, salary is about USD830 (as of 24th February 2023 exchange rate) per month gross income, no stock, bonus depends (usually 1 month split into 12 months pay).

Hmm, with AI thing going on, I guess what we need to define is this: AI is a tool, like paint brush, writing equipment, power tools and what not. The copyright still belongs to the creator.

Update to Adrenaline 23.1. It solve most of my crashes.

Yep, too cheesy to my liking. And besides, what are you doing in school back then? That's what English class is for, right? Somehow I found that Grammarly should not need to exist. I mean, spell check and grammar context checking is okay (we can't get everything right if the report has 10,000 words, right?), but dictating the way you write? That's over the line.

For me, Genshin Impact. It's a beautiful 3D RPG with co-op elements, many playable characters, beautiful scenery, outstanding soundtrack and a super deep lore. Though you can buy goodies and enhancement, but they are not necessary. The Gatcha system is a little left to be desire, but it's a well polished game that could left many triple A title game to dust. Other than that, most of them are MMORPG like Ragnarök Online. IGG does have a few MMORPG as well which I played long ago. Some web browser game, like the Astro Empires, Ikraim and well, they are mostly real time online games. If you want, Steam has a few old Flash game, Ninja Kiwi has a collection of their games in Steam where you can play the original Bloons TD (way back in 2001 I think). Not sure if Flipline Studio offers their game in Steam, they have a bunch of cooking/fast food service game such as Papa Louie Pizzeria.

Indeed, but for my case, I need to filter my thoughts, my wordings and expressions, or people will have a tough time getting what I mean.

Hmm... Well, I mean if I don't write my opinion clearly and shortened a lot of facts, people might get confused or incomplete picture of my message. Also, I will need to read what I type 3 or 4 times to make sure my message doesn't offend anyone and that people are clear of what I'm talking about. I have a slight autism and sometimes I jumble a lot as I'm typing, which can make a lot of people confuse. So, I don't think this method of 'post now, add later' suit me well, because I would have a tough time to explain everything again.

Yep, took me a bit of time to type an essay. But of course, my typing speed is not that great to begin with. Before I hit send, there's like so many conversation has been happening.

Well, there's a lot of reason: Having OS and game library in different drive has its perks: - If OS drive failed or the OS drive corrupted, your game library drive is unaffected, unless if your PC infected by virus. This can save you a lot of time from re-download your game. - You can extract your game library drive and put it on other PC, and it should works (depending on game client, but I know EA App outright refuse to acknowledge the existing game files and force you to re-download everything). - Although not proven, but having a separate game library drive can improve loading time. If you share the drive, many of the time the drive have to pause loading your game for the OS to write data to the drive, which lead to some loss of time, since OS swap their RAM data back and forth between page file (which is a temporary storage space on the drive assigned by the OS to handle more programs and data if your RAM capacity is almost filled up). - A speedy SSD for OS to make your system response faster, but can be expensive if you want to store a lot of games. HDD offer exorbitant of capacity at a fraction of SSD cost, so you can save quite a lot there. A few months back, a 4TB HDD cost almost the same as 1TB SSD (be it SATA or NVMe). Now 4TB HDD cost the same as 1.25TB SSD. With modern games now can occupy 100GB of your disk space, you'll really need a big capacity drive.

Well, no issue for me, at least as far as right now. System specs: - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro WiFi ver 1.0, BIOS F36. - AsRock RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming - 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance 3600MHz The previous version of Adrenaline software (22.10.x) gives me a lot of issue though. I often have random bluescreen, and watching Youtube can be glitchy until AMD Adrenaline reported that the driver time out. This new update fix all those problem and I don't have any issue so far.

Well, you can search "HP Pavilion 690-0073w" in Google search. This is what I get: If you click on that purple link, You should reach this website: Click on the motherboard specification and you should see a lot of information on the motherboard, such as Supported processor, RAM slots and the rest. To answer your question, This motherboard only has 2 DDR4 RAM slot and only supports 2666MHz RAM. It has 1 PCIe x16 slot and 1 PCIe x1 slot (though it doesn't list which generation of PCIe they support). 1 M.2 2230 slot for M.2 2230 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 1 M.2 2280 slot for M.2 NVMe SSD As for Dell, you can search for Service tag at their support page.

Try clean your system, especially your empty RAM slots. Use a hand blower to blow off the dust from the motherboard. Reseat the RAM as well. After that, try to do memtest and see if the system is working as expected. I have this issue last time and after 8 hours of troubleshooting, I realised there's a spec of dust (a white dot) at one of the RAM slot, blow it out, and the system function flawlessly. There are also a lot of things that can go wrong because your system is old and many components are ageing. Motherboard may not be performing at its best and deteriorate. Most common issue is the capacitors lost its performance. So I think it might be time for an upgrade. But of course, that's my guess.

For me, it's MSI GX70 3BE. Although AMD A10 5750m is not that powerful, but it has the potential. This is a laptop that well, a mix bag. Sadly AMD pull the plug on this one. But man, this laptop has some good potential, especially their AMD Radeon HD8970m GPU, the integrated Radeon 8650G GPU from is a beast if you're on battery power. This is my first gaming laptop, last me for 5 years. Had to retire as the keyboard malfunction and battery is dead, as well as Windows keep on installing the latest AMD graphic driver which not compatible with integrated 8650G GPU.

Huh, didn't know you can outsource support channel to other company.

Okay, I have check on your system, you should be able to fit a 2-slot GPU as I don't see anything that can block it. You might want to search for low-profile cards, but you should have plenty of options as long as the card doesn't need external power.

Anyway, are you sure your system can fit a single slot GPU? Nowadays it'll be difficult to find a modern single slot GPU. I remember Gigabyte has some GT1030: https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1030D4-2GL

I always use Pilot, especially their G2. I used their G1 before, but now it was replaced by G3, which is a bummer. I mean, LTT can create their pen, but it just add unnecessary cost to the product and their account. But your idea is not bad. If LTT wanted, they can bundle the pen as a freebie like how a few stores do back in those days (but sadly most of them not any more because people would take the freebie pen by a boatload).

Huh, I thought we agree to teach those b**tard miners a lesson, why do we need to buy from them? Let them stuck with a GPU that brings them no fortune and let them pay for the chaos they made. In fact, we should murder them for making our lives miserable, the economy topple, and energy hogging.

I would get a decent PSU first if I were you. Your PSU is not bad, but it may have issue for modern hardware, not because it couldn't supply enough juice to your component, but it might not be able to handle transient spike (a sudden demand of power from CPU and GPU), which may causes instability of your system, trip your PSU, or worse, blow out your PSU (but very unlikely, because Cooler Master PSU is well made). But in reality, your PSU might work fine with your RX 5700 XT. This, of course, is a gamble. so it is up to you if you want to take the risk.
