    Assassin's Creed Red

    IMO, what if's like that aren't made in good faith. Are basically a strawman to try and drum up controversy. And are rooted in dated socio-political ideas. Fact is "Yasuke" was a real black man, whom served under a Samurai lord. I don't know the full history and particulars. It seems some...

    Ryzen 5700X3D for $210

    Nice upgrade for someone still rocking AM4! If you are transcoding on the CPU, you should be looking at more cores. And no, the cache doesn't make much a difference for transcoding. A better move would be to pick up an Intel A380 and utilize Intel's latest encoders. There would be no...

    Ghost of Tsushima (Confirmed)

    It's probably an artifact of temporal AA. And they also probably didn't spend the time to replace the temporal AA in the rendering pipeline, with whatever upscaler you choose. Instead they just run after the temporal AA. Not uncommon. It would be a fair amount of work to properly integrate 3 or...

    Banish the Noise: All the Enthusiast Power without the Fan/Pump Noise (sortof)

    Ruipro brand has a really good rep on AVS forums. They also have good support and actually replace cables when needed. And I'm not necessarily a fan, but they sponsor The Display Guy on Youtube. However, they don't seem to have anything certified, over 50 feet. Monoprice also has a good rep, as...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    You cropped out what the bars mean (n) The blue bars are whatever he determines are "highlights". And the orange bars are whatever he determines "terrain". And in this specific "test", the LG doesn't do much better. However, in a test pattern, the 10% window brightness is way higher (as...

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    to POST the motherboard, and then update the bios (via the bios menu) you need a compatible CPU. I am not disputing the existence and utility of features such as bios flashback, which allow you to update the bios with only power to the board.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    As far as I know, the bios has to have at least basic compatibility with the current CPU, to boot and update the BIOS. And I think that's partially why we get early beta bios for new CPUs. They aren't really meant to be used in a fully running system. But, enough to get things moving. And...

    Do you guys use Bitlocker on your home/Personal machines?

    FYI For a "Home" version of Windows, you do not get access to Bitlocker. You get Windows Device Encryption. It will Encrypt all internal drives. No picking and choosing. I'm unclear if it will also encrypt external drives connected at the time you activate device encryption----but it seems like...

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    No. If you are worried about getting a board which does not have a compatible bios on it when you pull it out of the box, you have two options as a consumer: 1. AMD can send you a dummy CPU 2. buy a board with a feature often called "Bios Flashback" or something similar. With this feature, you...

    LG 48CX

    It all seems to vary based on settings, content, and event the individual TV. There's a C3 at one of my local bestbuys with large mid-screen burn-in, which is visible in most of the content they show on it.

The supers are a reaction to RDNA 3. 7800 XT in particular, sold really...

    Seems possible. Square recently said that 16 attracted a "younger" age group, and they seemed very happy about that. I'm guessing they mean late teens/early twenties.

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    13900k is 5.5ghz all core, and 5.7 ghz for 2 cores. pl1 253w/pl2 253 would be plenty to sustain 5.5 or better, in a game. I would say that maybe you have some other settings incorrect, after you have been trying various things to fix your crashing issues. I would update your bios if you...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    In theory, HDMI 2.1 should be able to do 4K 144hz 10 bit. However, some monitors may require you to edit its edid values, to have "reduced blanking" for 10 bit 4K 144hz to work on HDMI 2.1, without DSC. otherwise, you can do 8 bit color and you probably wouldn't notice a difference. Even in...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    The 32GS95UE is a lot brighter than a 42 inch C2. Which would be a better comparison. Larger TVs are almost always brighter. But with OLED, they are indeed. However, its really only at 25% and 10%, that the larger C2 and C3 are solidly brighter. At higher APL, this 32 wins by as much as 100...

    Helldivers 2 Community actually made Sony cave

    It wasn't a fake problem. The game was literally pulled from Steam, for countries which can't use PSN. And people in those same countries whom already owned the game, would not be able to play. Thankfully, Sony was quick to rethink their approach, and restored the game for purchase and play...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    You don't have to toss your old monitor? Use it for web browsing and general desktop use, and the OLED for games and video. LG has a new pixel structure, along with 4K density on a 32 inch screen. Text clarity, without a direct comparison to a 4K IPS, would likely appear normal to most people...

    High hot spot temps on 4090 ROG Strix

    bottom intake is usually best for this sort of setup. Short travel distance for the air. Naturally moves towards the exhaust. But your case doesn't have bottom intake. Front Intake would certainly help. I can't tell if your case has that. However, its not ideal, because the air from the front...

    Best monitor with MANY limitations

    Bestbuy has a couple Viewesonics with UBC which supports video and 60watt charging. Dunno if that's enough for her specific model. 1440p, 24 inch and 27 inch options. Otherwise, this Asus on Amazon is a great deal. Has USB-C video, but only 7 watt charging. So you'd need the power brick on the...

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    I don't pretend to be an expert. But, I havebhad a few Intel systems over the past 4 years. If I were having problems right now, I would update to the newest bios and use the new "baseline profile" or whatever each brand is calling it. That should disable most of their auto enhancement...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Yeah I run my IPS at '20' for brightness, when I'm web browsing or typing in GMAIL, etc. I don't need 400 nits of white screen. More brightness can be nice on a laptop----while outside. Or a south facing window office, I suppose. My work office faces North.

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    This lowers the max power usage to the actual power usage of a 13600k/14600k. Of course its going to be a huge performance loss. This will only actually be fixed with a micro code update. Until then, all of these "Fixes" are wildly swinging to get waaaay around the issue, maybe. IIRC...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    So if you set your monitor to sleep after say---15 minutes of no use, it should automatically run the pixel clean, as you take your breaks and/or finish work for the day.

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    I dunno about LG. But, most of the QD-OLED monitors force the pixel clean, after a short warning in the middle of your screen. I also don't know what LG's interval is. Does it say in the menus? MSI lets you choose 4 hours or 16 hour intervals, before it forces a pixel clean.

    [DEAD]Very [HOT] 7900X3D $330 @ Antonline

    A simulated 7600X3D does more/less as good as a 7900X3D (sometimes a little worse, sometimes about the same, sometimes better)-----except for games where more than 6 cores scales well. And that's fine and better than "not great" IMO. The point is, if you run into an occasional game which...
