    Alan Wake 2

    I just finished it over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't like or care for the first Alan Wake. I thought it was repetitive and boring. I liked the story in this game- it was what kept me going trying to get to the end. The first couple chapters of the Alan Wake episodes in the...

    Most demanding game right now in 2023 ?

    Definitely Alan Wake 2 at the moment. I'm getting 37-40 fps on a 13900KS and 4090 with max settings no DLSS. With DLSS it jumps up to 60-70 fps at 4K. This at the beginning of the game in the forest area.

    Please reccomend a Z790 Motherboard

    I've got a NZXT N7 Z790 board in black if you're interested. Comes with Thermal Grizzly contact frame installed. I just switched to Aorus Z790 Master cause the NXZT couldn't run my DDR5 7800 ram at XMP settings. I was to lazy to tweak voltage settings to make it work at 7800 but it ran it with...

    Raptor Lake refresh

    Lame refresh. I've been running a 14900K for 10 months now (13900KS)....LOL. Oh Intel how the mighty have fallen.

    Harbor freight 20% off anything this weekend

    I picked this up from the last sale with 15% off coupon. I'm using it to cut down my 16mm acrylic tubing for my watercool PC builds and it works wonderfully. Very quick and clean cuts. I can't believe I was using a hand saw before I discovered this little thing.

    WTB: Re-paste of Laptop - MN Area

    If you were local I'd do it for free just to help a fellow member out- I'm in Michigan. I've got two gaming laptops that I've repasted- one with Thermal Grizzly and the other with PTM7950. I've got a large sheet of PTM7950 laying around. Going to do the Steam Deck with PTM7950 next.

    Dead PSU?

    Did Seasonic require a purchase receipt for warranty? I've got a dead 1,000watt Prime and looking to start an RMA but don't have the receipt for it. I purchase it 7-8 years ago.

    $4000 RTX 4090

    There's always a sucker born every minute! Makes no sense it will probably perform close or slightly better then some of the top tier 4090's.

    Starfield

    Exactly.... I like how Prey did it. There's so much junk around I don't know what I'm suppose to pick up and what is junk I don't need for crafting. I've run into situations at the work bench and I'm missing components that I had seen earlier but didn't pick up because I assume it was useless junk.

    Square Enix Market Value Plummets By $2 Billion After Final Fantasy 16 Release

    Hahaha I was ready to blame Electronic Arts for the downfall of SquareEnix. Since everything EA touches they seem to kill the parent company. Didn't at one point EA had a minority ownership of Square?

    I would like to play Starfield

    If you can wait it out- I would do that. You will have a much better experience when it's all patched up with hundreds of mods and it will be much cheaper. I never experienced a Fallout game till Fallout 4. I actually bought the game years after it was released- game of the year edition. I...

    Starfield

    Running on my 13900KS and 4090 I'm getting high 60's to high 70's in Atlantis. On my old rig with a 9900K and 3080ti it was only getting high 30's to low 40's in Atlantis. This was at 4K ultra settings at 100 percent resolution and no FSR. Bethesda really needs to invest some money into a new...

    Starfield

    I've had to Google twice in my first couple hours of gameplay because Bethesda is too lazy to include some nice tutorials on how to do certain things in the game. I didn't know how to lockpick or what the screen was showing when I first tried lock picking. Then when I got to the first space...

    Battlefield 2042

    Too little too late. I've moved on to other games- there's just too many good games out there. I was a diehard Battlefield player but 2042 was in a horrible state at release and it took them years to get it to the current state. Alot of diehard BF players have moved on.

    Starfield

    I'm curious to see what kind of frames I'll get at 4K on a 13900KS and 4090. Looks like a 4080 is getting below 60fps on 4K.

    (low budget) 2nd hand GPU for i7-9700 for Fortnite

    Get a used RX580 if you're on a budget. Other wise I would go for something like a RTX 3060Ti. I've got a 3060Ti in my kid's pc and all they play is Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox. It's capable of handing these games with high frame rates on a 1440P monitor. There's also the added benefit of...

    How exactly can you hang this lamptron hardware monitor at the inside of the PC?

    I've got one of these and it comes with a stand to prop it up. You can also mount it on the inside of your case but it does not come with the hardware. You will have to modify your case or you can use double sided tape.

    Z790 POST/Boot times

    I got 18 seconds from push of start button to Windows fully loaded. This is on a NZXT Z790 with a 1300KS and 7200Mhz G.Skill RAM. Boot drive is a 2TB SN850X. I'm switching up the mobo to an Aorus Master at the end of the week and will see if it changes boot time.

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    I've gotten my sorceress to level 60 and close to the end of the main story. But it's just so boring doing all these fetch quests. I will be moving on to Baldur's Gate 3 after this and probably never will touch it again unless there's significant changes and updates.

    Athlon 64 FX-57 is expensive, rare, fast but is it worth it?

    My first and only AMD chip was a Athlon FX-60 back in 2006. It was the fastest chip at the time. It was a little over $1K during it's release. I used it for over a year before selling it and going back to Intel.

    Remembering the disaster that was crypto mining and it's detrimental affects on GPU prices.

    It was perfect timing for me- upgraded my son's pc from a 1070Ti to my old 1080Ti. Paid $330 for the 1070Ti from NewEgg back in 2018. Flipped it on Ebay for $650. A good $300+ profit for a card he was able to use for close to 2 years.

    Can I upgrade the RAM on this laptop?

    There's 8gb of soldered RAM. The other 8gb is SODIMM. You can pull the SODIMM out and replace it with a 16gb giving you 24gb of total RAM. I've got a buddy who has a similar laptop config and it's easy to upgrade that lone stick of RAM. Just be sure that the upgrade SODIMM are of similar speeds...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    Hands down the 1080Ti. That card lasted me through the 1080p and 1440p era. Pass it down to my son and he was using it for a year. It was only when 4K became mainstream that I needed to upgrade. Awesome card that was way powerful for it's time- kind of like what the current 4090 is.
