Unlocking a CPU with a pencil was great. Kids these days got no idea

A download manager would be nice…

Keep in mind you’ll have a hard time selling this. People don’t like DIY cards. Keep the original fans and slap them back on when it’s time to sell.

There is no “non-espresso” coffee in Italy. You’re basically describing how the Americano came to be.

Almost no VR gamer has ever even heard of the game that won best VR game.

The most popular show is also the one most pirated…

Amazing stuff

Eli5 but wouldn’t going to 24v fix all of this? People buy new PSUs for their 4090 anyway.

I am having the same feeling towards the Mac I have to use at work. That stupid piece of shit is just a usability nightmare. I’ve no idea why people insist on Apple products being simpler or more efficient to use. It’s just not true.

But he said they get paid more. That makes it ok for some reason.

Yeah I am rocking a 4070 and it’s amazing in Alan Wake 2. The only 4000 series card to consider, if you don’t want to spend fuck you money.

But if you want “future proof” you’ll need to go higher. And obviously no current or last gen AMD card is future proof at all. Ray tracing is the future. There, I said it.

Well actually they’re caused by people with guns. Nothing wrong in doing something about both.

According to the posted picture this should happen at 1440p with >14GB VRAM used. It doesn’t. 4k native is unplayable territory for every 12GB card anyway

DLSS is a thing thou

If you’d red the whole thing you’d found that those numbers are overblown. Fps of a 4070 should tank in 1440p and run out of VRAM but doesn’t.

Even with PT it’s fine

Optimization is supposedly fine because it looks the part. Optimization doesn’t mean make everything run on old hardware. It means make it run as well as possible. There’s only so much you can do while retaining the fidelity they’re going for.

“when has the EU ever done anything for us”

They could be handing those out for free and they’d still rot on the shelves. People just don’t know what to do with them and I am not certain Amazon does.

Charge for them? That’s meta verse idea quality.

This. If you don’t need a laptop for anything in particular, get a desktop pc. Performance will be way better and you can easily upgrade it later on.

A good monitor beats whatever you can do with a laptop any day. No gaming laptop can come close to a nice 24" or bigger screen.

I use the original shield controller and it’s great with no input lag. I never got the headphone jack on it working though.

“Offline Organic Maps Hike Bike”

Wait what happened to maps.me? I still have it installed but barely use it but fondly remember the days hiking with it or exploring new towns.
