Oh my god I would have had to buy that thing! It's like the alien from Mac & Me's somehow even more cursed cousin.

You should be able to find a 7900XTX closer to $800 if you look around and wait for a sale (and by "wait" I mean a week or two, not months). Make sure you have a very high end PSU regardless of your choice, AMD or Nvidia, as the current high end cards have some wild brief power spikes that play...

Love it. LN2 pot when?

Corsair RAM is trash these days, return it if you can. Board may be able to be brought back with Q-Flash, otherwise it's RMA time.

Exactly. Paying a couple thousand every 4 years or so (cheaper if you wait on sales / buy used with low hours as I have) is more than worth it to me.

Lol. Lmao. Literally read an article like 3 days ago that they may have cracked the burn in problem entirely with a new process, which will also let them run higher brightness. So... Very wrong.

Nightingale. Destiny 2. Diablo 4. Mostly. Odd stuff mixed in.

YGPM re: XPS 13

If you'll sell me just the used one at a good price I'll take it. No use for 3 of these things, and no desire to try and resell them myself.

Forget build guides - drop difficulty if you need to, play how you want. It's taken me almost 40 years to give myself "permission" to play on easy when I don't want the stress. The story is strong over all, worth going through just to see, and there are some very powerful moments, both front and...

The heat loads of modern processors are several times higher than the old T-Birds and such that were most popular at the height of phase change popularity. I came to it late, Q6600 era, and single stage units already couldn't keep up unless very carefully and expertly tuned. I went full batshit...

Those are nothing new, they just used to call them motherboard VRM coolers 😂

Helldivers 2 is purely a driver issue. It will be resolved soon. Can't go in to detail.

Either VRAM or PSU, possibly but unlikely both. I had an 850w that couldn't handle the XTX. No (noticable) artifacts, just crashes to desktop, usually with a driver time out. A new 1kw Silverstone fixed that, but I think it's insane that was necessary.

I'm just built different.
