    Fallout 4

    When I played this back in 2017-ish (not sure when I just know I had waited a year before I played it) I apparently didn't have most of the DLC. I don't remember Vault 88, Nuka-world at all. I had started a new playthru also, after installing an Nvidia sponsored mod- Vault 1080, which I think...

    Old UPS batteries (APC SUA 1500)... where do you source them?

    I've replaced the batteries several times in the older UPS's that I had. Took the old ones to Batteries+ to recycle. But there was also a company that did a UPS tweak and battery replace. Something about tweaking the UPS's settings, voltages, etc. to match the new batteries. That was kind of...

    Nvidia 4xxx in stock on their website

    When I posted, the 4090 FE's were available direct from Nvidia, $1599. Those are sold out atm.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I've said it before, I think this is the best game I have ever played. New endings and neat stuff in Phantom Liberty. I think I've hit 800 hours now, hit 700 after the DLC came out, and I hadn't played it since mid 2021 (got past 650) after doing all of the original endings. First playthru I...

    Old UPS batteries (APC SUA 1500)... where do you source them?

    You have a Generac? Or maybe a gas powered Generator? Yeah if I was in that situation I would want 15 minutes runtime. My pc pulls probably 200W idle at least (pc + 34" lcd), and I do only get maybe 15 minutes from this $900 UPS. The one on the internet router+hub keeps that up over 5 hours...

    Remembering the Nvidia GeForce 256 – the first PC gaming GPU

    Lol.... I thought it was serious at first.

    Old UPS batteries (APC SUA 1500)... where do you source them?

    Dual conversion isolates the output side from the input side. All incoming power is converted down to the battery voltage. All output power is generated within the unit from the battery voltage. There is no switchover time, because you run on UPS generated power 100% of the time. Complete...

    MSI ends AMD GPU partnership due to poor sales

    Companies go where the money is, it's as simple as that. If the cards are not selling well, it doesn't make any sense to invest r&d, engineering, and support costs if the end result is small potatoes. So they invest those r&d and engineering dollars in products they believe will generate more...

    What is wrong with steam?

    Some do, some don't. Depends on the model. I inquired with Sabrent whether or not my 8Tb Rocket supported over provisioning, the reply was I have to do that myself with the partition sizing: "My name is Kevin, Thank you for contacting Sabrent Technical Support. I am happy to assist you, Let...

    What is wrong with steam?

    If you are overall happy with the E: drive's performance, aside from it capping out your download speed for game patches, just accept it. As others have mentioned, a very high temp also throttles them. What sucks is heatsink space on NVMe's is usually limited. Better airflow would be the route...

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    Good customer service? Accepting returns also allows them to analyze the damaged chips. But yeah, they should claw back those losses from the guilty Mobo vendors. 4096A? Seriously?

    Remembering the Nvidia GeForce 256 – the first PC gaming GPU

    The Term GPU as we know it today, Nvidia was the first to create the chip, and as far as I know, that is the only claim regarding 'GPU' that's been made, is that Nvidia was the first to create one. The term for Graphics Processing Unit had been used prior but those performed a limited portion...

    Remembering the Nvidia GeForce 256 – the first PC gaming GPU

    Ya but Nvidia SLI was still very exciting and reminded us of 3dfx SLI. 2 cards, same as 3dfx, but also the option for 3 or 4! 4 way SLI like the voodoo5 6000 :) In spirit it was the same. Still a fun time in pc graphics and new cool stuff was around every corner. I'm not sure if I ever owned...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    We can hope that by the 6xxx generation, that the will be on a 3nm process.

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    I figured it was cherry picked in some way, all presentations and PR material you gotta expect that. 77% is much more believable. Still an amazing uplift as well. Sounds like it could match the 9xx to 10xx generational performance increases.
