    i9-12900k vs 5950x - Out of the game for a while..

    Hey, Been out of the upgrade paths for a while. From what I can see, the i9-12900k bests the 5950x in most benches but at the cost of heat and efficiency, is that the general consensus? Looking to upgrade soon from my i7-6700K. Usage is dev work, design, and gaming. So a real mix bag. Any...

    980Ti SLI Freezing Woes

    Hey everyone, I've had 2x980Ti's for a while now and for a long time they've worked great. However, over the past 6 months I've had to disable SLI mode because leaving it on results in a game freeze just seconds in to a game (occassionally minutes). Using the Heaven Benchmark with SLI enabled...

    Any Rust players?

    Hey there, Just wondering if there are any Rust players out there? We've just started our own server for some friends and long-play. It's fairly vanilla with only a few exceptions (HUD improvement, PvP death notifications) - but nothing game changing. Happy for others to join us sometime...

    Competitive Gaming

    Do you think we'd be able to get a competitive gaming sub-forum inside general gaming? There was definitely interest in some of the previous CS:GO threads and I'm sure there are LoL/DOTA fans too that would benefit from being able to discuss coverage of minors and majors. Just a suggestion :)

    980Ti SLI Performance

    Hey, I have two MSI 980Ti's in SLI on my machine. Specs at the bottom of this post. Using the nvidia game settings it suggested optimal DSR for games like CS:GO at like 4k and downscale to 1080p, but when I use those settings I barely get 60fps and it's incredibly inconsistent. I was...

    Advice on 660Ti SLI Upgrade

    Hello, I'm currently running 2x MSI 660Ti's in SLI and for the most part they run great. Unfortunately, with the 2GB of vram limited they're starting to show their age in some newer games (GTA5 and such). I was wondering if a 970 would be worth it? Specifically this one. Here are my...

    Subwoofer Hum
