    2024 Game Drought?

    I was just looking over the release schedule for 2024. Looks like a good year for hitting the back catalog. Not much on the immediate horizon in terms of AAA releases in 2024. Not surprising considering how awesome 2023 was. Thoughts?

    Sony A95L QD-OLED (New for 2023)

    Looks like this is the one for my family room. Reviewer’s are saying it gets closer to the reference mastering monitors than any TV. Bummed by only 2 HDMI inputs, but this is clearly the image quality on the market for film.

    Sony is killing me (Only 2 HDMI 2.1 on the A95L)

    Sony is just killing me here. The A95L QD-OLED will clearly be one of the best , if not the best, TV of 2023. However, STILL, only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports. Can I get around this with some kind of a HDMI 2.1 switcher so I can make one HDMI 2.1 input into like 4? I know I'm going to have more than 2...

    Best Application to Make a Gaming History Timeline

    I have this idea of making some kind of visual timeline, it would span from 1985 to the present, and show every configuration of console and PC hardware and software that I can recall owning and the associated software of the time. I'd like to incorporate box art for the actual games and images...

    What Color Depth and 4:4:4 for PC gaming?

    I have a 1080 Plasma that is 4:4:4 compatible. I upsample to 4K using DSR but as far as the display is concerned it is seeing 1080P 60Hz. The display will also do full 0-256 or limited color depending on how you set it. It is HDMI 2.0. My card is a 3090. My question is, for games (Doom...

    Need replacement for Seasonic TX-850 with better OCP for 3090

    Bottom line: this PSU (Seasonic Prime TX-850 Titanium) just can handle the 3090. OCP keeps tripping randomly regardless of load and I have to reset the PSU at the switch to get my system back. This is a known issue with certain PSUs and the 3090. Should I go to a Seasonic Prime 1000 watt...

    PC Clicks and Then Shuts Down. PSU must be power cycled.

    I have a new problem where the PC clicks and then powers off completely. It can happen mid game or even loading a game. I have to flip the psu switch off and then back on for it to power back up again. Any thoughts? GPU 3090, PSU Seasonic Prime and SSD are all pretty new.

    Maxing out BFV with 3090?

    I just picked up a 3090 FE. I will migrate to a 4K display this year but I am at 1080P at the moment. I am sort of confused coming from 1080ti which had no RTX functionality how to max out this game for best image quality. Should I use DSR to upsample to 4K or just crank the in game resolution...

    Aftermarket Router or Xfinity’s Wifi6 Gateway?

    I have Xfinity’s newest all one Wifi gateway, which is modem and router in one unit, but it seems to get bogged down by all of my devices. Is it worth upgrading to a separate wifi router with a better processor?

    WIFI 6 for gaming?

    I am considering moving my rig upstairs which would mean I would need to use wifi instead of ethernet. I have a Wifi 6 router from Xfinity. My question is whether Wifi 6 is sufficient for reasonably competitive gaming. I am not a competitive gamer, but do not want to add noticeable lag either...

    May 2020 Update Still Will Not Install?

    Does anyone else still have a message that the May update to version 2004 is on its way? I know they held it back for bug fixing but this seems ridiculous. I have 3 radically different machines and it will not install on any of them, even if I use the update assistant. I don't particularly want...

    Is Samsung’s pending QD-OLED Technology a Game Changer?

    Apparently Samsung is striking back hard against LG’s OLED tech with something called QD-OLED, which combines OLED tech with their quantum dot tech and may significantly reduce the burn in issue (I am thinking in terms of non-gaming PC usage). Also LED/LCD production is apparently being...

    Game of Thrones "The Long Night" S8E3 - Not Too Dark! (Spoiler Free)

    No this episode was not "too dark". Rather, your (1) cable signal probably sucks and your (2) tv is probably not good enough. I first watched the episode from my Comcast/Xfinity DVR on an older Panasonic G25 Plasma which works well in brighter scenes but does not have the superior near infinite...

    What should I do with my 8700K? (OC or Turbo?)

    Long story made short---two days ago my uber expensive X99 build with 5930k just crapped out when I set bios to optimized defaults (go figure). Probably the mobo fried. I think it was on the fritz for a while. I tried everything to fix it but no dice. So I did the easiest thing--NEW BUILD...
