Because in two months my home computer will mostly be for gaming with occasional work use on special occasions, so it seemed like a good opportunity to pick up some performance and I had had to order the parts on short notice.

Im building a workstation for when I am in the office. Got a 7950X3D to swap with the 7950X in my home rig. Testing it out today… I am not super stoked on it. I was getting around 43k on cinebench with the 7950x. The X3D is getting 36k. Both under the same custom loop with curve...

When I think of unreal… the first thing that comes to mind is watching early episodes of Star gate sg1 while playing unreal during commercials. I can vividly remember the crappy crt, desk made of plywood,file cabinets, and a sheet and how hard the folding chair was on my ass lol. The sinus pain...

I would use that fan controller... if drive bays were still a thing. Looks like a VFD. I always loved those.

I would love to be able to side load things on my iOS devices with out having to sign them every week. It is what kept me on android for so long. I finally switched back to Apple when the iPhone 13 launched. I had ran Samsung flag ship phones for years and it seemed after a year Android always...

I laughed when I saw the reviews of the 4070. Usually the new 70class is faster than the old 80 class. I hated paying for my 4090, but at least it is a monster. Gaming aside I render a lot of my cad models to make my sales drawings look better and it is worth it. Ray traced view port...

I haven't turned mine on in months. The screen is so bad compared to my lg oled and my iPhone that I would rather stream from my pc to my phone with a clamp controller.

It was just plain not cooling. The turbo in cinebench went from 5.2ghz to something in the low 4ghz range. And a repaste would always bump it back up. This occurred overnight. Every night for a couple of weeks until I built my custom loop. I was repasting to be able to work lol.

Yeah, but in this case… I had good scores and thermals and after a day I would have full speed fans and hard cpu throttling. Hell opening an explorer window ramped the fans. It could have been thermal breakdown of the paste. I don’t know. The IHS just looked a lot cleaner than what I am...

With that particular AIO every TIM I tried pumped out between a day and a week. I ended up building a custom loop and applied the same kryonaut and it’s been fine for months.

I'm not sick of it. I wished the beta was longer. I grinded from level 7 to 20 yesterday to get the rewards. I didn't really want to progress further than I had necessary to get the rewards. Didn't want all of act 1 spoiled. I am pretty happy with what I saw. I was a bit disappointed...

Engineering Manager/Designer with 16 years experience here. I would use the older version of Solidworks. Fusion360 is like sticking forks in your eye. I would rather turn tricks at a truck stop than have to use it for anything complex. In all seriousness... Fusion360 is fine for making a...

I played for a couple of hours. Ran and felt great on my 4090. Looks great too. I think they made great use of the D2 Resurrected team. So, glad to see it isn’t cartoony. Think this may be the game for me this year.

It's even more ridiculous when you read the comments and people are crying about 720[/1080p benchmarks. Like they can't grasp that you are trying to see how fast the cpu is relative to others with the the gpu limits removed. Like say a cpu is 40% faster than another in a low resolution but...

I do that too. I also get teased about turning on the desktop icons first thing after a windows install.

Think I am just going to ride out my 7950x.

No

FPS seems higher to me. I was getting 90-110 in the raven claw common room, now I am getting 123-127. Running around the castle im over my 120hz refresh rate more often. Wish I could have done a proper test before the update. I previously complained about frame generation. I have it sorted...

I have been pleasantly surprised by this game. I have a hard time finding games that can hold my interest, but this one fits the bill. I am not a Harry Potter fanatic. I was originally coaxed into watching the movies by my mother as I had passed on them thinking they were kids movies, but...

I agree that it shouldn't be spewing bigoted crap, but the definition of bigoted crap changes based on who you are talking to or your zip code. I would rather have it unfiltered with a boiler plate about how the data is aggregated from web sources and that they are not to be taken as fact...

You don't think that the pre-canned responses will become more in depth? or that even a pre-canned response refusing to answer because the topic is immoral will not shape the views of an adolescent or the weak minded? Things have changed tremendously with the rise of internet. People "google"...

The bias programming in these AI is disturbing. I would imagine googles would be worse. You can role play with chat gpt to bypass its bias programming. Look into the Dan prompt. It will give you completely reasonable answers to political questions when roleplaying as an AI with out...

Been watching some 3.18 content the past couple of days. It is going to be a game changer. So much content is going to come from persistence. Just the ship wreckage staying is going to add a lot. Imagine flying around and finding a wrecked cargo ship and looting all of the cargo or being down...

You guys know that you can just run a few missions and rent a ship and a roc to make the money for a prospector. Then you can grind out anything in the game.

Man that sounds like a wet dream. You on the 3.18 test?

Seems like there are a lot more people here who have played this for more than half an hour than I thought.

I agree with you on quake. I don’t think a bit of modernization would hurt counter strike though. I started playing counterstrike when it was a mod for half life. Long before steam was even a thing. I also played source for a few years. When Call of Duty 4 came out I went pretty hard into...

After 3.17.2 dropped. I was reading global chat and some guys where talking about how cheap in game credits were. I had been grinding asteroids for days. I normally enjoy space mining, but half of the asteroids were glitched or my quantanium would glitch to inert while landing. I said to hell...

All I did was upgrade to a a freelancer, so that I could more easily rent a roc after a wipe to get boot strapped. Might eventually just move up to the prospector.

I love the game, BUT I am not currently playing it. It is too buggy. You get yeeted out of your ship, the ui stops working. You have to eat and drink, but it glitches to where you can’t hold food or drink in your hands. The same bug affects tools and weapons. These bugs are not rare...

Yeah about like when I was a kid, but video cards aren’t $100-$300

The dlss 3 numbers for the 4090 are in the image quality comparison. Wonder why they didn’t add it for the 4080 and 4090 to the chart?

Maybe they are talking about ipc since the 40 series is close to 3ghz stock. I have no idea how much low hanging fruit there is on the tensor and rt cores. I remember reading the tensor cores do relatively simple fast matrix math. May be one of those things where it is more cost...

AdoredTV is a fanboy. Some games are hard to see if raytracing is doing anything. Look at examples like Spider-Man,Cyberpunk,Control. The quake,quake2,doom rt ports, Minecraft. Hell, raytracing on Minecraft is so effective. I always feel compelled to dig out bases on the coast line and...

Take a look at these two GPU-Z captures. If you compare the pixel and texture fill rates between the 4090 and the 3090 you get a 2.3 to 2.5x improvement, similar to jumping from a 7800gtx to somewhere between a GTX280 and GTX480. Pretty staggering jump in pixel and texturing throughput for one...

Yeah maybe I changed It at some point. Can’t remember. I’ve just been setting it to a middle value for ages.

Found a tip while running hydra. On CCD0 Core 1&3 I couldn't do any negative offset. In the manual for hydra it states you should Set LLC to Auto. I changed it to that and -12 on Core 0, -10 core 3 works with 125mhz boost override. Not only that all of the cores are undervolted much...

I played it with my son pretty obsessively for several months a few years ago, while my wife was finishing her degree out of state. There’s no way I can put the time into it now. It was a rush and had insane highs and lows, my main complaint was that like all the unity engine games the gun...

Btw I have my card flashed to pull 600watts over the 3 cable adapter. My psu wires appear to be 16ga. I set the power limit to around 520watts to remove 99% of power throttling and haven’t had a problem.

I had my 4090 in hand on launch day. There was already talk of the connector being delicate and to not over bend it close to the connector. When initially installing it. I pre-bent the wires before plugging them in to align with my pcie cables, while being careful to not disturb the wires...
