Oh my god I would have had to buy that thing! It's like the alien from Mac & Me's somehow even more cursed cousin.

You should be able to find a 7900XTX closer to $800 if you look around and wait for a sale (and by "wait" I mean a week or two, not months). Make sure you have a very high end PSU regardless of your choice, AMD or Nvidia, as the current high end cards have some wild brief power spikes that play...

Love it. LN2 pot when?

Corsair RAM is trash these days, return it if you can. Board may be able to be brought back with Q-Flash, otherwise it's RMA time.

Exactly. Paying a couple thousand every 4 years or so (cheaper if you wait on sales / buy used with low hours as I have) is more than worth it to me.

Lol. Lmao. Literally read an article like 3 days ago that they may have cracked the burn in problem entirely with a new process, which will also let them run higher brightness. So... Very wrong.

Nightingale. Destiny 2. Diablo 4. Mostly. Odd stuff mixed in.

YGPM re: XPS 13

If you'll sell me just the used one at a good price I'll take it. No use for 3 of these things, and no desire to try and resell them myself.

Forget build guides - drop difficulty if you need to, play how you want. It's taken me almost 40 years to give myself "permission" to play on easy when I don't want the stress. The story is strong over all, worth going through just to see, and there are some very powerful moments, both front and...

The heat loads of modern processors are several times higher than the old T-Birds and such that were most popular at the height of phase change popularity. I came to it late, Q6600 era, and single stage units already couldn't keep up unless very carefully and expertly tuned. I went full batshit...

Those are nothing new, they just used to call them motherboard VRM coolers 😂

Helldivers 2 is purely a driver issue. It will be resolved soon. Can't go in to detail.

Either VRAM or PSU, possibly but unlikely both. I had an 850w that couldn't handle the XTX. No (noticable) artifacts, just crashes to desktop, usually with a driver time out. A new 1kw Silverstone fixed that, but I think it's insane that was necessary.

I'm just built different.

If you're willing to consider other models I'd happily trade my Pulse 7900XTX

Hmm... My secondary system could use an upgrade, the RTX 2080 is getting a little long in the tooth. Tempted, it would let me go all AMD in both PCs. It's that or Intel ARC, likely. Now that Nvidia is an "AI" company first and foremost they won't get any more money from me.

If they don't, not that big a deal, assuming you're running a recent AMD card or Linux. The same guy that wrote the iVRy driver for the original PSVR is releasing a PSRV2 version soon. GeForce Windows drivers don't support the needed video mode. Also have to have an onboard USB- C(like on the...

Anyone with the Sony 42" A90K OLED have tips or tricks for using it as a monitor? It seems to behave much better connected to the 7900 XTX than the RTX 2080... occasionally does this weird thing where I tell it to run 4K@120Hz and it runs 1080p for some reason. Also not thrilled with the...

I haven't had a hard drive used for anything but long term mass storage in well over 10 years.

I will look through and see what I have, having just moved to Michigan from Florida there's a lot I'm not going to have much use for going forward, or at very least need significantly less of.

Barring absolute junk, wire makes no difference.

Wonder if they'll sell me one of those amps at $150 or whatever it was... Regretting not jumping on that when I found it.

I've had tons of them at this point. Astro C40 - good feel in hand, second only to the Elite Series 2, but horrible reliability. Bought 2 replacement joystick modules at $20 a piece plus shipping before I took the thing apart completely, put the pieces in its included carrying case, and...

If you haven't already, check out Universal Paperclips

Rebuild the machine... Play The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. Something I could have maxed out the day it came out on the PC I had then.

I paid $800ish USD for the 7900 XTX and I'd say that's about what it or the 4080 are worth, new. As for what you'll find them for... Canadian pricing is so different it's hard to say.

I mean, situation is pretty much the same as you last described.

Thermalright is always a safe bet.

I mean, this is all with a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro when I got the card, so it's not a case of leftovers causing issues if that's what you're implying. Like I said, some everything seems to work well for, others like me there's just something about my setup (though it's fairly basic)...

Absolutely not, hasn't for several years.

Not disagreeing, but I'm sure people are mixing on far worse.

I miss the FT-02, Lian Li PC2000, and all the other giant ridiculous cases... Makes me wish I could swing for the Streacom SG10, it has a similar feel somehow.

I went from an RTX 2080 to a 7900XTX and it's been a complete shit show. Tons of driver crashes that proved to be caused by Win 11 insider changes (but Nvidia is fine) and a PSU that should have been more than enough. I paid $800-ish after getting a partial refund because I never got the...

If you care about raytracing get the 4080, or ideally save up for a 4090. If you don't really care about raytracing and plan to keep the card more than a couple years, the 7900XTX. I have had a lot more problems with AMD drivers than I have with Nvidia's in the past, but experiences vary.

No, M.2 and U.2 are electrically compatible, it's just a physical adapter. Windows does not know or care the difference.

If you just want it for storage and have a spare USB 3/C port you can always get a M.2 drive and a cheap enclosure.

Genelac is great, but if you're not doing music production they're not worth it.

Got the one I ordered. Not bad for the price, but nothing special in today's market. My girlfriend has a non-compact board for flight sims and stuff, so she's happy.
