    bmx6454 reacted to Eigenvektor in Can bad gpu cause glitches in games?   
    I doubt anyone can tell you without more information.
    Which specific shader(s) cause the issue? What does the issue look like? (Maybe provide a screenshot) Could be an issue with the GPU, but could also simply be a bug with the particular shader. Is it the RX 580 4 GB or 8 GB? If the shaders are more demanding, could potentially be an issue of too little VRAM.

    I personally wouldn't go for aesthetics when you're on such a tight budget, you can always start with a cheap air cooler and add the AIO later. You do you though, that's just my two cents.

    bmx6454 reacted to Levent in What are games that'll make my entire PC cry [require alot of cpu AND gpu power]   
    What? Tell your parents that your room is too cold then. None of this makes any sense. If you want demanding games, take a look at the AAA games released in the last 4-5 years. Any game with RTRT is demanding enough for current GPUs. As far as CPU goes, as long as you are pushing high frames it will get used enough.
     
    If you want to " performance test" then use 3dmark. Otherwise your data will not be compareable to anyone elses.

    everyone should be allowed to voice their opinions freely, you can either try to counter it, or ignore it, but censoring is never the answer. also not sure how you pull "right wing" out of a topic regarding operating systems lol, people push politics into everything..  appreciate the edit.

    bmx6454 got a reaction from podkall in Looking for AM5 advice please help   
    are you hitting like a real barrier in games? or just saw the "bottleneck calculator" that said you are limited? if the latter, they are garbage imo, and not to be taken into consideration. if your pc is doing what you need without issue, i don't honestly see a reason to upgrade it.
  6. Agree
    bmx6454 reacted to BentleyOwen123 in Looking for AM5 advice please help   
    bottleneck calculators are fake, theres no real way to calulate a bottleneck, and if you want to upgrade to am5 you could, but i would recomend a ryzen 7 5800x3d, just upgraded to that from a 5500 and i can game at 4k quite well, and you can keep your ram and mobo

    Make sure the pins and sockets are fully aligned. You might have to move the connectors a bit - the latch needs to be all the way down. I can see in both visible connectors that they're both up.

    bmx6454 reacted to RONOTHAN## in What are the disadvantages of not having a Windows key?   
    No, the only real downside is the watermark. Personalization shouldn't be accessible to you, I don't know why it is, but even if you can't see it you can bypass the settings menu using things like command prompt or even just right-clicking and hitting "set as background." Windows 10/11 in particular are very lenient about the Windows key, so running it without a key is not a big deal.

    You know that one case by HP that separates the AIO heat from the GPU heat? I realized that it is currently on sale so if anyone is looking for a case upgrade where your system has a high end AIO.
    (I could not find a detailed price history but I do sort of remember the original price being 200-250 ish USD but either way it is a good deal.)

    Space Crew Legendary Edition is FREE right now on Steam. 77% Mostly Positive reviews.

    Free to keep when you get it before Mar 14 @ 1:00pm.
     
    Published by Curve Digitial, this game was developed by Runner Duck, which also created Bomber Crew and the upcoming title Badlands Crew.
     
    Space Crew is an RTS game and sequel to Bomber Crew. This Legendary Edition basically includes a new campaign and new gameplay features such as missions where the player's crew leave the ship to explore outposts featuring enemies and puzzles. 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. Nintendo Life criticized the game's controls for the Switch and its difficulty, but they enjoyed the in-depth gameplay, art style, and character customization.

    i would not recommend downgrading on a whim(if it's possible), if you do, be willing to accept any consequences. might also do some reading up on the googles to see if you can find people who have downgraded on that board, and what their experience with it was. might save you some headache. why not just put the 2600 in the other board and keep the 5600 in the current one, seeing as it is already working with the current combo?

    Great news! After changing the position of each RAM module several times, ensuring that each one was functional beforehand, I managed to successfully start my PC with both modules. I reinstalled the latest BIOS update to be certain. I conducted some checks with HWinfo and CPUZ, but found nothing abnormal, and I regained the same performance as when I initially installed them. So, I want to thank you for your advice that helped me solve my problem!!!!

    Bios structure can change between versions. Once you upgrade you may not be able to downgrade, not to mention if you brick your BIOS during downgrade, you won’t be recovering it without hardware and another working computer. Upgrades are tested, downgrades aren’t.

    bmx6454 reacted to Eigenvektor in The witcher 3 stuttering   
    That's an issue with Witcher 3's next gen update. If you have MSI Afterburner, you might notice a lot of frame time spikes in the graph. What usually helps is limiting the frame rate to something slightly below the maximum your GPU can reach.
