Looking for these at any reasonable price. Let me know what you got. Thanks!

Yeah, I think the concept is extremely interesting, but I'm not sold until I see it in action. They said it would be appearing in some products later this year though, so that's at least something to keep an eye out for

Have you seen Dark and Darker? It's kinda like uhh.. D&D Tarkov

If you already have a Noctua D15, that should do the job just fine. Especially if you aren't OCing

Tbh, I don't think the vast majority of games today look considerably better than games from 2013

Also I think the rise of streaming/esports and competitive gaming becoming more mainstream has a lot to do with it

Been playing a lot of Ember Knights lately. Definitely one of the better Rogue Lites I've played. Feels like a lot of elements drawn from Hades and Zelda:LTTP

Funny thing is I'm 39 and I can see where he's coming from. Not running a low end system, (9900k + 3080) but most of the time It's just habit to immediately turn off anything like bloom, chromatic aberration, post processing, etc. anything that makes it look less "clean" Though I've never had...

50c seems a bit high if we're talking about idle. What are you using for a cooler?

Bare finger gang rise up

If I didn't want to rebuilt the whole PC, I think I'd just pay the $35 to not have to deal with an FX-4300, lol

Been running a 9900k for the past few years. Basically just waiting to see if the 7000X3Ds are going to be enticing enough to push me to upgrade.

Honestly, I think it's about time we get back to inventing crazy/hideous looking coolers for video cards again.

A very disappointing lack of arena shooters on that list. Definitely picking up Atomic Heart though

Few things really. First, try defaulting your settings in EVGA X1. Like others said, you have your power/temp sliders way too low. Also yeah, Valheim is extremely poorly optimized. Might need to take those sliders down a bit, specifically active point lights/active point shadows and draw...

Personally I'm holding out for the PEPEGA edition

Only reason I think someone might go for a 4070ti as opposed to a used 3080ti is the AV1 hardware encoding.

Maybe? I just don't see a considerable price drop coming until we get a refresh of the 4000 series (probably in the fall)

I think your best bet would be a used 3080/3080ti

Never really been much into 1v1s in Quake myself. Not denying it still takes an incredible amount of skill, but just given the nature of the game I prefer playing TDM/CTF/Instagib Though I will say that I think the abilities in QC can help offset the power up control aspect of 1v1 duels to some...

I guess Valorant is pretty much considered "modernized CS"

I don't think the abilities really improve the game that much, I'm just saying that they don't ruin it or act as some magical bridge to the skill gap. Your Quake fundamentals are still going to be doing 95% of the work. Nobody who is bad/average at other Quake games is suddenly dominating in QC...

I never really understood all the hate for character abilities in that game. Imo, they're not even close to a "ez win button" and they don't make legacy Quake skill any less relevant. But in reality, most of the hate does come from people who never bothered to play it

Seconding the Glorious keyboard. I've had one with Kalih box white switches for a couple years and it's been fantastic.

Can't believe someone out there thought "I wish my Razer Boomslang looked more like my wallet"

Yeah, I don't think it ever really took off. It had a lot of performance/netcode issues when it first launched into early access and for a while I believe there was literally 1 employee working on it.

I was playing at 1440p, everything lowest, RT off, DLSS off. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "unplayable" but I'm used to consistent >200fps in most of the other FPSes I play. The most recent time I played I was still struggling to maintain >80fps in heavy fights. Definitely seems more CPU...

Major direction shifts that late into a game's dev cycle never inspire confidence, but damn if it doesn't still look really cool.

I've been patiently holding off on getting too invested in this game until the performance gets better. It was pretty miserable even with a 9900k + 3080

We're tryin to bring it back!

If your mobo is still under warranty, at this point I'd definitely RMA it

If you reboot and there's no issues, it might also be worth running a benchmark/stress test and see if anything weird pops up

Really enjoyed the first game. Initial EA reviews were pretty meh on this one, but that was like 2 years ago at this point.
