    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    Odd one but anyone interested in some wrist wraps? They've never been used. https://www.amazon.com/Jacks-Fitness-Wrist-Weight-Lifting/dp/B00LLML7US

    Selaco

    I have a bit of a mixed opinion on Selaco at this point. They went a bit over the top with the particle/fog/smoke effects. I had to turn them down. There's nothing more annoying than something blowing up creating a cloud between you and the enemies that you can't see through but they...

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Didn't I just see a leak by him a week ago saying how it was going to be huge like the rumored 4090 ti hsf?

    What Would Cause MB's Reset (not CMOS reset ) Button To Stop Working (along with CPU red light, MB Error Code 00 which is memory issue on Gigabyte)

    Those are typical signs of a dead mobo. You've done some good troubleshooting but I'm not sure you should waste any more effort on it sadly.

    After you die, your Steam games will be stuck in legal limbo

    We can use AI to get this problem figured out.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda

    It's a shame because who knows if we will get another ME game. Supposedly there is one in pre-production but who the hell knows what EA will do, not like they have a good track record.

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    Definitely several bent pins on there. Again not saying it's your fault but they (b&h) probably has no techs on hand to fix so they just talk it up to a damaged product.

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    How is it not useful? Seems pretty apples to apples to me. Not every game supports those features, and some support frame gen while others don't. So this way they avoid the nvidia cherry picked slides they love to use.

    Assassin's Creed Red

    I think it will be a departure from the norm from here on out if we have a game thread where someone isn't freaking out over DEI, or a female character's face being too fat, etc.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Pulling a loan out to buy a gpu might be some of the worst financial advice I've ever seen given.

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    I've repaired many boards with bent pins and I agree with you. The amount of careless stuff I've seen (e.g. thermal compound on the pins) just tells me most of the time it's the initial installer. I've mentioned it before but another common one is people getting impatient and ripping the GPU...

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    To what, Asus tried to scam us?

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    So you're saying they should have paid Asus whatever it asked so they could have a video title that is 100% factual?

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    I just hope this causes Asus to reform their support department. This is just pathetic it's still happening.

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    It really feels like a coin flip with Asus. I cautioned a forum member here recently about it when he needed to RMA a 4090. Fortunately for him they gave him no problem and everything got done properly. I feel sorry for all these other folks who were on the other side of the coin. It's just...

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I'm still confused how it's going to stop someone from enjoying the game? It's such a minor change. It's like making a male character less muscular in the sequel, is anyone going to complain about that?

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    The only thing for certain is the scalpers will be there right on the first release, whatever card it happens to be. And some morons will go on ebay and pay them.

    High hot spot temps on 4090 ROG Strix

    Yeah InWin has always prioritized looks over function.

    High hot spot temps on 4090 ROG Strix

    He probably should get an apples to apples comparison by using the same game/bench before opening it up and doing a re-paste. I've done lots of cards myself but it's still a job I'd rather avoid if possible.

    High hot spot temps on 4090 ROG Strix

    It's a $300 case fellas, pretty sure it has front fans.

    High hot spot temps on 4090 ROG Strix

    Since this is an Asus build this should work: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Graphics-DisplayPortTM-Full-Coverage-Radiator/dp/B0C7JW9GMV

    NVIDIA to Only Launch the Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 in 2024, Rest of the Series in 2025

    Yeah plus nvidia really undercut the AIBs this gen and perhaps will continue to going forward.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    I certainly do not recall it being discounted that hugely a month or two after release. Perhaps others can chime in about it. Nearly 6 months after release the 4090 came out, which is one reason it was not a very good buy at the time.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    I think we both know those are too high. Like I said they could monkey around with the prices and performance and make the math harder for people. I mean what do you think it would take for them to convince a bunch of people to buy an AMD card?

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    There's no doubt it's on them. I'm just thinking nvidia could make the math hard for them. $2500-3k for the x90 and then $1200 for the x80. Something like that. This is all complicated a bit now due to the 4090 being priced as it was and how it would compare to the 5090 of course. Why do...

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    I think they can, they just leverage the pricing and RT performance. It's the one feature AMD can't compete on very well and lots of people care about it.
  27. F

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Do you realize you're kinda saying they should charge 2k for the 5090 and thus make a $1200 5080 more of a "bargain?"

    Windows 11 Market Share Keeps Declining

    I did with 7 too. I had bought a patcher to extend another year beyond EOL. Still on 10 now too, not enough stuff uses direct storage to make me care to update.

    infinite loop no windows 11 pro

    Yeah it's just one of those things you don't consider immediately, like the power button someone mentioned earlier in the thread. Working with risers myself now I definitely test them, a simple mistake is having PCI-e gen 4 when the riser only is gen 3 and thus no display working until you...

    infinite loop no windows 11 pro

    Stuff happens, even the test bench won't always be foolproof. If it was indeed the riser cable causing the problem you may not have even thought to test it first, especially if it came with the case. But I guess the good thing would be knowing that at the very least everything worked properly...

    infinite loop no windows 11 pro

    Risers can cause problems with lots of boards, don't know that it's largely a gigabyte problem. Also memory training for 100 hours? That's so ridiculous lol.

    Nvidia reflex capping my fps at 58

    You always want to be 1-3 fps below refresh to get the lowest latency, it's working as intended.

    Upgrade my 1080 GTX - What recommendation?

    I have no idea really. I've never used software like that and can't be sure it can even do 360fps or even 500 fps, or as mentioned previously how much it uses the CPU.
  34. F

    Upgrade my 1080 GTX - What recommendation?

    Yep and he should also post his CPU, when you start trying to hit those high frame rates you need a CPU that can keep up.

    Horizon Forbidden West

    Please tell me how Aloy's face breaks immersion in a completely fantasy world? Does a female character more to your liking wearing a skimpy outfit not break immersion?

    Horizon Forbidden West

    I'm more on the side of not giving a damn and focusing on playing the game. Do I give the male characters' faces much thought? No, I don't care.

    Yeah when I look up stuff on howlongtobeat and see it's 50-100 hours it really kills any motivation to buy/play.

    The Lords of the Fallen

    I've heard that before but I've also played lies of p which has pretty much all those same mechanics and has an unlocked frame rate. Plus they have had so many games released at this point they should have no issue even with a 120 fps cap. Besides, can always include the option for the player...
