    new threadrippers announced

    It is a very interesting platform, but it looks like it has some launch issues, which isn't a huge surprise. Realistically, with the decision to require RDIMM memory and motherboards costing > $1100 USD and gaming performance actually a fair amount worse than mainstream desktop systems, this is...

    Forza Motorsport(8) thread

    I have only played through the initial tutorial races, but so far it seems good and runs perfectly fine on my system. I turned everything up and disabled as much dynamic stuff as I could. I don't think you can disable resolution scaling. Here is a benchmark screenshot for those who are...

    Starfield

    Pretty much all of my friends are going to be playing it and I happen to have the week off following the release... So... yea I bought it. To be honest, if the premise of the game interests me, I would rather play it for myself than hear what some gaming review nerd has to say about it anyhow.

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

    I just landed on Koboh. So far I am enjoying it. Seems like a good continuation of the series to me. For fun, I tried firing this up on an old Windows 10 i7 6700k system with an RTX 3090... This game was hillariously CPU bottlnecked, running 40-45 FPS at 4k, Epic settings, no AMD Fidelity...

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

    I picked the game up today because I was craving some light saber slashing... I have played for about 3 hours or so, no crashes. For the most part, it mostly runs 65-75 FPS @ 4K, all epic settings with AMD FSR disabled. There are more stutters than I would like to see, but I have played worse...

    EVGA 3080 ti failure troublshooting

    Sounds dead to me. Hopefully you can get through to EVGA to RMA soon. My EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming was sort of similar, but maybe not exactly as you are describing. For me, I would be playing a game, the screen would go blank, the fans would go into turbo mode, you could still hear the...

    Dead Island 2

    I kind of bought this game without too much thought when I saw some information about it's release, so I'm kind of doing in with no expectations. I was craving a zombie slasher and I would say this game delivers so far. I haven't seen any bugs yet and the gameplay has been buttery smooth...

    EVGA no longer making GPUs!

    It is too bad. I had to RMA my EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ulttra Gaming card. Other than having to pay for shipping ($$$ from Canada), the RMA process went well. I'm not really surprised to see this. I feel like Nvidia has been playing games for a while. Maybe they finally decided they have enough...

    Samsung Z Fold 4

    I have not noticed any abnormal heat when my Zfold 4. I have had phones that run way hotter than this. I havne't bothered to try any games or anything though. Just basic setup tasks etc. camera, seems normal to me. As for screen protectors. There is one pre-applied to the internal screen...

    Samsung Z Fold 4

    I've been using my Zfold 4 since last Friday. So far I am quite happy with it. The front cover screen is actually much more usable than I expected. Being narrower than the large screen phones I'm used to using (Samsung Note Series, Pixel XL, iphone 13 Pro Max etc.), it feels more...

    Qnap NAS died...better alternatives.

    I bought a DS1513+ in 2013 with 5x WD Red drives. I love this NAS overall, but it wasn't all roses, read below if you are interested. After about 6 months, I had an issue where the NAS would boot loop. I followed troubleshooting steps from Synology which resulted in all data on my array being...

    Win 11 pro's? con's? opinions?

    I happened to already have a VM running on the Windows Insider Dev channel, it downloaded and installed Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22000.51 through windows update. This VM doesn't have a TPM at the moment. There is some wording in this article about letting people who are already running...

    Win 11 pro's? con's? opinions?

    I guess we'll see when we get closer to release and official builds are released instead of the leaked build that is floating around that most people are discussing at the moment. The actual reality of all of this is that most consumers are going to see that their PC isn't compatible (if they...

    Win 11 pro's? con's? opinions?

    This supported I Intel processors list only goes back to 8th Gen Intel Core processors... Not sure if they have a supported AMD processor list... I couldn't find it. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors Between this...

    Win 11 pro's? con's? opinions?

    I as a consumer don't mind Windows OS upgrades too much, I am fairly good with change. Heck I didn't prefer it but I got along with Windows 8 OK while everyone else was losing it and trying to download software to hack the old start menu back in place... I'll figure it out and customize it to...
