    Especially then. Who in their right mind would pay $100 for a L4D game? Not me and I bet I am not alone.

    Wingfan reacted to ki8aras in GTA 6 is already running on a pc where the trailer was created   
    bruh the reason it wont initially release to pc's isnt that computers arent fast enough to run it

    rockstar just stands to make a lot of money from sony and microsoft if they initially release it only to consoles

    People can list stuff on eBay at any price they want.
     
    Look at sold listings to see what the actual market value is.

    Wingfan reacted to --SID-- in Hello how much fps would i get using a intel core i7-3770 and gtx 1650?   
    The cpu is on it's limit. Upgrading the GPU is useless because the CPU is to slow to feed it with data.
     
    Then upgrade the motherboard and RAM too. And maybe the PSU because it's must be 10 years old also.

    ok firstly this is a forum and not discord , stop typing half sentences as entire posts while repeating the same exact things you've already disclosed

    secondly , if you aren;t reading what we type (as in you aren't listening to why a 10 year old machine isn't going to magically get faster) then nobody is going to bother continueing to help.

    lower you visual settings in game and do basic maintenance to your current pc. save up for a replacement computer.

    A whole new computer.
     
    Yes a new GPU would technically work, but you're not going to see better game performance out of it because it can only go as fast as the rest of your parts. 
     
    A limited budget is all the more reason to spend your money wisely.
     
    Throwing a fancy GPU into a decade-old computer that's already as fast as it can be is not spending your money wisely.
     
    Turn your graphics settings down a little and keep saving until you can afford to buy yourself something nice. 🙂

    Wingfan reacted to adm0n in I own these games but have never played them: Which to prioritize?   
    Slightly unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't go based of popularity of the games. I'd see if there is a concept in any of these games that hooks you and go from there. If you just go into the best game now, simply for it being the best game, you will be impressed and after you are done, no other game will be able to stand up to it (until a better one comes out), since you have already played the best one out there.
     
    If you actually get interested in a game and play it for its own merits, you are less likely to get burned out. Of course if you aren't really interested at all, there are tons of other hobbies out there too!

    Wingfan reacted to RONOTHAN## in 7800X3D vs 7900X3D   
    If you really need the extra cores, get the 7900X as that's faster than the 7900X3D for no-gaming tasks and cheaper as well. The problem with the 7900X3D is it's consistently in this weird no-mans land, where it's slower than the 7800X3D in games, slower than the 7900X in production, more expensive than both by a fairly significant margin. 
     
    The 7800X3D is going to be a massive performance uplift to your 6700K in production, so I don't really see a reason to go for the 7900X3D in this situation.

    Wingfan reacted to GuiltySpark_ in Which GPU?   
    You seems to have pigeon holded yourself into only Nvidia and only 4070Ti and above. This leaves you with 3 total options, though realistically only two as 4090 is an awful buy for only 1440p. You've got two cards, both TERRIBLE values so it comes down to how much you want to spend. If all you do is play games, 7900xtx or xt make more sense.

    4 of us are going to Aus Pax, approximately 14-18 hour drive, so decided to put monitors in the backseat with google tvs connected.
     
    2x 24” teac monitors (repurposed from a hospital we work with) $0
    2x Chromecast with Google TV $69 each
     
    The bracket was made from “make a bracket” which let me bend the bracket without creating metal fatigue. These were bought from Bunnings warehouse ($12 total).

    I used an old aluminium mop handle, cut it to size and drilled holes for the headrests. The bracket was also repurposed from a hospital we work with ($0)
     
    The car had an inbuilt inverter, so power is sorted. Internet will be handled by mobile hotspot.
     
    I have some rgb light strips I’m gonna put on this arvo.
     
    overall it’s pretty rough setup, especially with the aluminium/steel brackets, but it gets the job done.
     
    total cost is $151

    Ship building in Starfield is incredibly addictive. Here is what my hardened bounty hunter/merc with a heart of gold is getting around the galaxy in right now. My goal was to get a touch of the fashionable, functional asymmetry of Star Wars hero ships without totally compromising sleekness, and I am pretty happy with the result. The color scheme is shamelessly Boba Fett inspired but I may change it.

    There's usually some sort of driver conflicts when you go from one team to another for CPU, to the point where you can get some very strange issues. If you want to roll the dice on your current OS install, that's fine, I have done this before with my daily systems and been completely fine, but at the same time at the first sign of weirdness I'd just do a reinstall rather than spending time trying to troubleshoot it.

    Wingfan reacted to Holmes108 in Zoom CEO might have said "employees must return to offices"   
    Seems like a bit of a leap. I think often the benefits of having an in person team is immeasurable. Because of that, I think it's very reasonable for any employer to want in person employees. 
     
    It will of course vary wildly from industry to industry, company to company, and even team to team. If everyone from the bottom up is happy with remote work, who am I to argue.
     
    But somehow, somewhere over the pandemic a certain subset of people got this idea that it should somehow be some sort of "right" to work from home, and I really couldn't disagree more with that mindset.

    Wingfan reacted to LinusAuctionTips in Gamers Nexus alleges LMG has insufficient ethics and integrity   
    Steve doesn’t owe you anything. Implying that this is unfair or not journalistically proper because he didn’t contact you before publishing an expose is absurd. If they wanted your take, they should have reached out after publication. You own a large company, and people rely on the information you provide. Sometimes that means you will get taken to task publicly for a screw up. Stop whining, show some integrity and just admit you f-ed up and need to do better. End of story.

    *edit* I actually got to watch the video when I got home, and its pretty rough. I've seen a few inaccuracies in LTT videos the last few months that were small, some GN didn't even show, obvious QA issues, but the kind of errors GN shows go beyond basic QA.
     
    Everyone knows GN's the goat when it comes to actual data, LTT's forte into data is really secondary to the entertainment priority the channel has always had.
     
    GN's accusations are valid here.
     
    *another edit*
    The response was well done in my opinion. corporate, but that's probably for the better. We'll see what the results are in their next videos, which'll be a solid week away for good reason.
