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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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...
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
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?
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...
