"Steam Families is a collection of new and existing family-related features. It replaces both Steam Family Sharing and Steam Family View, giving you a single location to manage which games your family can access and when they can play." This looks to be a unified steam sharing and family in the steam beta channels right now. New features include: Parental controls Limits on games (maybe rating or saying only these games can be played) Restricted access to the store, friends, and steam community play time limits and time of day restrictions playtime reports approve or deny request (additional playtime, feature access, temporary or permanent) recover the children account if the password is lost. child purchase request send family request instead of having to sign in on that system to share, you can request the user be added from the family management dashboard If a family member is banned playing your game, you and the game player will be banned, but family members that were not the one cheating or the game owner will not be effected. family members games can be played offline as long as the game has family sharing support by setting up steam, family accounts will be auto-recommended to join your family (the accounts that were signed in to share games with) family management adults can kick out family members kids cannot leave unless an adult removes them if an adult leaves, a 1-year timer is started before they can join another family member This is such a great new update to already great features. This is why steam is king and companies like EA and Ubisoft need to take a good hard look at their products and either step up or let steam take over. Family management has been a hassle for us and this is just such a quality of life update that is just a good job Valve moment.

Put simply the biggest annoyance for me with pc gaming is steam updates. They don't happen automatically and since my pc is turned off except when I use it I have to wait for updates often. So If I had a linux VM with steam installed is it possible to make steam update games instantly? Then since steam transfers over LAN would it just pass It to my gaming pc? I have Gbit so the main slowdown is decompressing does steam transfer decompressed versions of the updates? Steam cache would be pointless since my internet speed is easily fast enough to saturate my ssd with decompression. My main goal is to get around decompression. this might sound like a none issue but if the only down side for me is some extra storage space used I don't see it as a waste. Any help appreciated!

I am writing this topic as a critique on a episode released 4 years ago, in which Linus and his crew test surround sounds solutions in a rather simplistic methodology. The solutions tested are shown below. Now here is the critique: most headsets are referred to as software solutions. This however sketches an incomplete picture as each software solution is tested with possibly a different headset. Consequently, this favors Dolby Atmos as the best solution cause it is likely tested on the corsair hs50. Which is known for its superior imaging capabilities. What imaging is: Imaging qualities are inherent to the audio content; the headphones have to 'reproduce' them rather than 'create' them. They determine how accurately the objects are positioned in the stereo image and how transparent the imaging is. In other words: it measures the differences between the right and left speaker. This is often measured in both latency and phase delay. Headsets with correct imaging produce identical sounds in both ears at the same time, while bad imaging produces non identical sounds at different delays. Now it might be understandable how imaging can influence surround sound effectiveness and how it incorrectly shows the performance of for example DTS as a surround solution. Here is how the surround sound should have been compared: Software solutions should have been tested on the same hardware. Eliminating the differences in imaging between headsets. Then each and every hardware solution should have been tested with every possible software solution. Fun fact: did u know that the Razer Tiamat 7.1 is compatible with Dobly Atmos Home Theater?!? Interestingly Razer also warns users about incorrectly setting up the audio on their pc, as not properly enabling surround sound on the computer can result in only 2 out of the 7 audio channels to be properly used by the computer. Final Thoughts: I really hope this video gets revisited sometime cause it hurts me to see how the industry has changed due to this video. True surround headsets are no longer being produced like they used to, while Dolby Atmos is being referred to as the holy grail. But when it comes down to it, the tests were performed rushed and incomplete. Currently the best way of comparing actual surround is by using https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tests/changelogs as their tests were performed more accurately. The only thing that they are still missing is the comparison between software solutions. Greetings, G3NTs Here the video in question:

Hi, my games have been crashing loads lately while giving graphics errors. I have tried numerous things to fix the issue. My latest attempt to fixing the problem was a complete reinstall of windows on a different drive which did not help. This makes me think the problem is not software related. Could my GPU be dying? It has no artifacting problems just the crashes. My GPU is a Gigabyte RTX 2060 OC edition and I have had it for about 4 years. It currently reaches 77 C while at 99% usage at most but it used to be at 83 C at 99% usage all the time before I fixed that issue (for about 2 years). I had this problem in Valorant and Minecraft but it has not occurred since I set my max FPS to 160 and the GPU usage stays below 60%. I do still have the problem in Fortnite where the GPU usage is over 95%. The crash does not happen instantly it always happens about 15 minutes after starting the game and will then do it about every 3 minutes after the first crash when relaunching the game. The rest of my specs: CPU: Intel core I5-13600KF Motherboard: MSI mpg b760i edge wifi RAM: 2x Trident Z Royal 8gb DDR4 3200 mHz SSD: WD Black SN850X 2tb PSU: 500W from BE QUIET! Let me know if you have any idea what could cause the issue and how to resolve it. Thanks!

Hi all, I a m planning to build a new PC for gaming/work in a server chassis to put it as far away as possible from my office. For that, I am planning to buy motherboard with Thunderbolt3 support and displayport passthrough capability. I will connect my PC to a Thunderbolt 4 dock with a Corning Thunderbolt 3 optical cable. I haven't really decided what specific mobo or TB4 dock I will use, but I have a general question: can you game normally on a setup like that (PC->Dock) just like you would on a regular gaming PC in front of you or you would get performance deterioration? Lets say I will use something like RTX 4070 Ti and I would pair it with one 2k 144Hz monitor. So will Thunderbolt connection ruin my gaming experience or will it be just fine and I wouldn't notice any lags/stutters/etc.? P.S. Will my PC be able to wake up from sleep mode in this configuration if I tried to wake it up using peripherals connected to the dock? Thanks in advance

This is a guide for anyone new to PC building who would like to know what FPS numbers mean, why they are important, and what to look for when considering your first gaming PC. So what is FPS? Why does it matter? Why do people choose PC over consoles for more FPS and more settings? What does it all mean? Well, FPS - Frames Per Second. In reality, what video is - is a stream of still images sent to your screen very quickly. When you watch TV, what you are seeing is actually 26-27 different STILL images per second that depicts motion. Consoles like Xbox and PlayStation are generally limited to 60 FPS maximum, and while this is fine, you can have a more premium gaming experience on PC with higher FPS and more settings options and customization available. Plus, you don't have to pay for PlayStation/Xbox Live membership for online gaming which is a pretty nice bonus. Most games on PC these days have the ability to run what is called a "Benchmark" - a test that evaluates the overall performance of a given game. And even if a benchmark is unavailable, there is ALWAYS a way to display your current FPS while playing, and you can assess your performance and tweak your settings that way. Keep in mind that some games are more demanding than others. A good way to judge what hardware is right for you is to share what games you play most. Plenty of testing is done on PC Hardware when it comes to market and what hardware you need for what games you play with your desired level of performance should be easy to determine - just ask any PC enthusiast and they should be able to tell you. PC games come with settings presets that set all graphical settings to a predetermined level for a given overall experience. "High" Graphics settings presets are considered the standard for PC enthusiasts as it gives you high visual fidelity and detail without needlessly throwing away performance. "Very High"/"Ultra" settings are nice but usually cost a massive amount of performance for only small differences in overall image quality. So what numbers are important, what should you look for, and what are ideal numbers? Well, the two most important metrics in gaming performance are "Average FPS" and "1% Lows". Average FPS is the average framerate of the given test, while 1% lows show when the PC struggles with a particularly demanding area or images. The range of different Average FPS experiences is summarized below: 20 FPS or Less: Unplayable - The game will be so studdery, slow, and unresponsive that you will genuinely not enjoy the experience, and will probably stop playing. 30 FPS: Not Very Fun, but Tolerable for Some. This will feel sluggish and fairly slow, especially when demanding areas drop your FPS under 30, but it can be played if absolutely necessary. 45 FPS: Playable - While not very responsive or smooth, it can be somewhat enjoyable, especially if dips in performance from demanding areas are occasional and don't drop the FPS into the 30's very often. 60 FPS: The Basic Standard - at 60 FPS your game will appear visually smooth but you may notice the responsiveness between your inputs and what happens on screen is not quite as nice as you would like. When demanding areas drop the FPS into the low 50's and high 40's, these moments are certainly not ideal either. 75 FPS - The Bang For Buck - At 75 FPS, a Game not only appears very visually smooth, but the responsiveness is also quite nice and fast enough to satisfy most gamers. Even demanding areas that drop FPS into the low 60's don't really ruin the experience and this is exactly why entry-level budget gaming PC monitors are 75-Hz rated (Hz is basically the max FPS the screen itself can display, also known as "refresh rate"). 90 FPS: The Enthusiast Standard - PC enthusiasts usually game on PC for the advanced performance over a console. 90 FPS and beyond is where this difference truly shines. At 90 FPS, your game will feel incredibly responsive, basically instantaneous, and will remain very responsive even in demanding areas that drop FPS into the 70's. 100 FPS - The Premium/Ideal Target. 100 FPS Average may not seem a lot different than 90 FPS, but the important difference is that even the most demanding areas of a game with the biggest drops will likely keep the FPS above 75. This means that the game will remain responsive and the experience will remain premium and smooth pretty much no matter what happens. I recommend 90-100 FPS Average for most people. 120 FPS: The Enthusiast High-End/Flagship Experience - My personal favorite way to play. Why? Well, while I will admit I don't really see any gains in the gaming experience above about 100 FPS; if you game runs at 120 average, then your lows will probably remain above 90 FPS meaning your entire gaming experience is as premium as it gets - So fast and responsive that you truly feel no desire to go any further even in the most demanding areas of a game. 144 FPS and Beyond: Overkill - Many Gaming Monitors are rated at 144 Hz and they are affordable for most and the perfect choice for most gamers. However, there is no need for your game to actually run this fast. Linus himself has shown in several tests that even professional E-Sports gamers - people who get paid an actual salary to play video games - have no performance improvement when going beyond 144 Hz/FPS. Some people may claim they feel a difference and they are welcome to their opinion, but there is no way for them to prove that claim, and someone new to PC gaming certainly doesn't need to be worrying about such things. So there you go, now you can decide what level of performance you want your Gaming PC to achieve, and you can now use this knowledge to ask someone experienced with PCs (we are all happy to help you here at LTT Forums) to recommend a given pre-built PC or recommend hardware for you to build your own. This is the very first decision towards getting your first gaming PC. Welcome aboard!

Unfortunately, I'm a Mac gamer. I'm not really a hard-core "gamer", I maybe play trough 1-2 games per year. App Store currently has a fantastic discount here in Sweden with about 70% discount some AAA-titles. I enjoy games like Life is Strange, Grand Theft Auto, LEGO Star Wars, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, The Sims. Do you think any of the games on the screen shot below would be interesting to me? I know I watched PewDiePie play Resident Evil Village and really enjoyed him playing it, though I'm a bit unsure if I would have to patience the beat the bosses (I like games that progress relatively straight forward). I played the Resident Evil 4 Demo though and it was fun.

Good morning, everyone I have a problem I'm hoping everyone can help me with. My girlfriend and I just moved into a new condo, and we have 2 gaming setups in 1 room. The problem is that when I talk, I can hear myself on her mic and same for her (on discord and stream labs). What is the solution for this we both have Elgato Wave 3 mics. Do we need to buy new mics or is there something we can do to make these work?

Hello all, I'm looking for a new mouse and mouse pad recommendations. The budget is flexible as I'm looking for something that would last some time. The mice I've been thinking of buying are: ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition, SteelSeries Aerox 3 Snow Wireless or Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2. My current mouse is Logitech G502 Hero. As for mouse pads I was thinking of ASUS ROG Hone Ace XXL, ASUS ROG Scabbard II or If I got the logitech mouse I would consider the Logitech POWERPLAY if it's any good.

My am3+ based gaming pc has come a long way and it's run out of steam, so i'm building a new system and i would like some thoughts on it! Motheboard: Asus prime b650m-k CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700x CPU COOLER: Cooler Master MasterLiquid M240L GPU: AMD Radeon rx7700xt gigabyte RAM: Kingston ddr5 8gb 6000MHz (2 sticks so total of 16GB) SSD: Corsair MP600 core 1tb PC build is aimed at gaming and is based on AM5 for future upgrades being easier. 2 IMPORTANT QUESTION i have are: -is the cooling setup for the cpu going to be enough knowing ryzen 7000 likes to get hot -is my current 560w PSU enough considering the recommended wattage is 525w on most PSU calculator websites. I would feel comfortable with that but the PSU is 8 years old, i have tested it and it always turned out fine, its a modular 80plus gold rated PSU but i think over time it has lost some of its mojo. Sorry if i missed the topic or if i have made a boring, long topic but i appreciate the helpful answers in advanced!

Budget (including currency): 1000-1500 € Country: France Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: (in order of priority) Music Production and Music Mixing: Ableton Live 11, maybe upgrade to 12 ( for work ) Video Editing, Small animation creation: Blender and DaVinci Resolve ( for work ) Light 3D modeling: Auto Cad and TermoLog ( a software for buildings 3D modeling ) (for work) Gaming: EUIV, WoW, have a peek at more modern titles that I could not play before. (for fun! ) Philosophy of the build: I need a capable machine today, I can add/upgrade non-essential features in the future ( i.e. more storage). (This is why I think going with a DDR5 capable system would allow me to upgrade it in the future. Same goes with the 12th gen CPU, I chose a budget friendly platform that will allow me to upgrade up to 14th gen in the future... Is there something I am missing in my reasoning ? ) Additional Constraint: I have to relocate once per year in a different country in Europe for 2 months, so I need something "portable", some SFF build. Laptops seem to not give a good €/performance compared to desktops, plus they are not really upgradeable in the future. The build: PCPartPicker Part List: https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/4ngLn6 CPU: Intel Core i5-12400 2.5 GHz 6-Core Processor (€182.14 @ Amazon France) Motherboard: ASRock B760M-H/M.2 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard (€105.88 @ Alternate) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (€138.88 @ Alternate) Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (€102.27 @ Amazon France) Video Card: Asus DUAL OC GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB Video Card (€322.00 @ PowerLab) Case: Fractal Design Define 7 Mini MicroATX Mini Tower Case (€123.78 @ Amazon France) Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (€129.99 @ Amazon France) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home OEM - DVD 64-bit (€141.88 @ Alternate) Total: €1246.82 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2024-02-29 10:33 CET+0100 Monitors: 2 Monitors Setup Peripherals: I already have all the basic peripherals, including an external audio interface The more USB ports the better, currently I'm forced to use USB hubs that cause some issues with MIDI keyboards. Here's what I currently hook up to my laptop: External Audio Interface Mouse dongle Keyboard dongle MIDI keyboard 2 external hard drives. ( in the future I will only use them for backup and transfer sound libraries on internal SSD, for now I'm forced to use them for "low-priority" sound banks) Why the Upgrade? I'm currently using a struggling Laptop which technically performs all the tasks that the new build should perform way better. (Current Laptop partial spec: CPU: intel i7-8550U GPU: AMD Radeon R7 M340 RAM: 8GB, 500ish GB SSD of some kind). The laptop is starting to crash once per week, I want to change it before it dies on me. So.. is this build even realistic ? Cheers

I have a pretty old laptop with integrated graphics. Which would be the best linux distro that is focused on RAW PERFORMANCE. I do not care about looks, simplicity, ease of use, desktop environment, etc. Only pure performance. I know i sound like a newb but I have used debian based distros before but started questioning whether they were the right choice. Please recommend which distro and version would give me maximum performance for my hardware. I just want it to get the job done no compromises on fps.I really dont mind spending a little bit more time if it means that its more stable and even a bit better. Im not able to choose a single distro. I dont prefer changing desktop environments after installation due to conflicting packages so please recommend a distro. Thanks in advance.

Howdy good sirs! I've been looking at some previous posts on this forum and narrowed my choice down to Kubuntu or Nobara KDE. I am running Intel Integrated Graphics on a laptop with i5 6th generation CPU. I cannot for the life of me decide between these two. What do you all think is the superior Distibution in terms of stability and performance? Please suggest one! I need a third person's outlook on this matter. Thank you in advance.

Budget (including currency): 30,000 MXN Country: Mexico Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Realistically, any game that can be played. I'm not super picky when it comes to playing every single game at an Ultra Preset, but I would like my games to perform well and at least look good. Mainly looking forward to finally Playing Cyberpunk on at least the high graphics preset running at more than 60 fps. It will also be used for graphic design programs, such as most of the Adobe Library (Premiere, Photshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, After Effects, etc.) Other details: Here's the PC Part Picker Link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4MLkgB And in written form CPU: Intel Core i7-12700KF 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor Cooler: be quiet!

I was also looking into buying the Gigabyte M27Q-SA monitor, since it's not terribly expensive and its a 27 inch, 1440p, 170hz monitor which is just what I'm looking for, but a 27 inch, 1440p, 120hz monitor would also be perfectly fine. If you have any recommendations for a monitor around those specs that would be greatly appreciated. Is this a build that makes sense? If possible, I would like to stick with Nvidia and Intel since that's what I primarily know, but I'm not entirely closed off to trying AMD CPU's. Also, I'm not sure if the 12700KF is ok with a normal air cooler or looking into an AIO would be recommended, since I was also looking at the i7 13700KF, and that CPU can get really hot if not given proper care and I'm not sure if the same applies to the 12700KF. Thank you so much for your help in advance!

Need more thoughts on this case please! SPEC Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 22000) (22000.co_release.210604-1628) CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz (12 CPUs), ~4.1GHz MEM: 24576MB RAM DDR3 ECC GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GIGABYTE AORUS PSU: EVGA 600 W1, 80+ WHITE 600W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-W1-0600-K1 MB: ASUS P6T WS PRO ISSUE My GPU and CPU in CS2 match work load is about 30%-50% all the time, my fps as you can see is about ~100 with this spec. What im missing in this situation is this CPU with this OC bottlenecks the GPU so hard? Or something else i missing here? ***Sorry for my bad english and mistakes first post in this forum, if you can help please write your thoughts about this situation.

These 2-3 lines (horizontal, single pixel thick) have appeared in the bottom of my gaming monitor (AOC 24G2SP 24″ FHD IPS Panel 165Hz). The picture has been linked at the bottom of this post. They appear to be as green / blue, however, the color changes depending on what color the rest of the screen is. The lines completely disappear when the display is all white. I have checked all the cables, my GPU, and any other software related concern. The issue still remains. What could this indicate guys? Monitor was bought in May 2023. It's still under warranty, however I have lost warrany information due to moving places, and I live in a country where AOC does not have any "official" resellers, I got this through a relative coming back from the USA.

Budget (including currency): 90,000 BDT Country: Bangladesh Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone, Escape from Tarkov, Rainbow Six Siege, Modern Warfare 2, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effect, Adobe Premier Pro etc. I have attached a build here. I want you to take a look at it and suggest me if something needs changes. I'm concerned if the CPU is bottleneck to the GPU. PS. I am on a very very tight budget so I chose just 8GB RAM for now and after a month I'd take an another RAM stick.

I thought I did my research before buying it, but evidently not. The new Samsung G55A 32" monitor I have looks kinda bad. My older Spectre ultrawide looks better. I am thinking of returning the samsung and finding something better. I thought that HDR 10 would be a good thing, but I was wrong. 95% of content looks washed out and bland. My budget is roughly 400 maybe 500. I want something big, so 32" is pretty good. 1440p is as high as I can go with a 3060. I do not care about HDR because it looks pretty bad in anything that is SDR. I mainly use my PC for watching videos, playing games (RDR2, Portal, SotF) and creating scenes in Blender, so color accuracy is good. P.s I wish I could afford an OLED...

Hi ( english is not my native language so sorry if i make mistakes), for a while now i had some freezes while gaming i had little freezes and long ones. Sometimes when it froze i clicked with the mouse random times and then for 1 milisecond it unfroze and immediately it crashed i had to enter the game again. Most of the freezes happened at the most importat moments and it drove me insane. i researched and seen people say might be an issue with the driver of the graphics card so i kept updating it but it didnt help at all, so i decided to roll it back to an older version. Thanks now it doesnt freeze that often, rarely but it still does. the freezes i had were just freezes no noise nothing but latey they made a brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt sound like that and froze completly. i am tired. i am researching again and resources say it could be bios i just wanna ask maybe someone can help me, sorry if i havent explained correctly something, please ask i will try and explain more. thanks EDIT: nope i am on a desktop not a laptop, i am not into PCs so i dont know stuff but i'd like to know T.T
