Just in time for GTA 6 benchmarks I can see where they're going with the better efficiency, but having no/worse performance over last gen kinda makes this DOA

Haha skipping this

Any guess on price? $2500?? https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-and-rtx-5080-specs-leaked

Yeah I haven't had any issues yet, but jeez this is a big L for intel. I will probably undervolt just to delay the inevitable and go AMD next round

Front and side 6 are intake and 4 going out at the top and rear. I put the exhaust on top since heat rises that direction

Used prime day sales to switch over the pc to the icue link cooling system. It was still a bit of a ripoff but I like that the fans daisy chain together with a single cable and things are about 10C cooler

Just realized I've been a member here for 20 years now. 10 more and it will be 30 years, jeeeeeez

$20 a month for gamepass, next $30 and then $50, stop the price hikes or I'm out (I should already be out actually)

Made the most busted thorns sorcerer build in the elden ring dlc, and I'm 1 or 2 shotting many bosses who are vulnerable to bleed

Got me some 96GB of DDR5 6600. I got room for 192 gigs, but 4 sticks of DDR5 is still a bad idea

Look like Dishonored

Nah we waiting for the 5090 now

No new hardware this year (like nothing good even came out) but got the 5000T case which keeps everything cooler

14900K looks like a letdown, like literally just a higher binned 13900k with some slight oc

Yeah I see new graphics drivers are out today as well, so I'll do more testing. I do like Frame Generation, but it does introduce weird side effects sometimes so maybe it will look better with it off

New update is out but I still think the DLSS 3.5 is not much improvement, still see ghosting and looks like painting

Money and xp exploits are so easy to get. PC is stable but Xbox Series X is crash city

Yeah this 6400 G.Skill set was one of the first DDR5's to be made with Hynix A-Die, so it turned out they can oc pretty far. Could boot 7600 with them, but stability is another story...

I can't even run 7200 on a z790 board rated for 8000. I mean it boots and runs all day, but y-cruncher stability tests fail. I back it to 7000 and that was working. I ended up refunding the Vengeance 7200 and just oc'd my 6400 sticks to 7000, and that has been my daily driver for the past few months

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is taking all my time

14900k better beef up their imc

13th gen is literally an over-volted alderlake, with all it's power efficiency thrown out the window. Not the most ideal upgrade over 12th gen

I know FSR 3 going to get frame generation. It's a game changer in Hogwarts and Cyberpunk

Update: So my DDR5 7200 Vengeance sticks quit being stable at 7200 after a couple days, I tried various voltages and even put a fan on it, but it just errors in Testmem after 5 mins. I'm sure the magic voltage combo is there somewhere but that's going to hours of trial and error. I'm currently running them at 7000 but with much tighter timings (good compromise?). I've been stable for 2 weeks so far. I think Raptor Lake marketing has been way too optimistic with the speeds you can reach, it should be marked with a disclaimer of "under very special circumstances." Next gen I'll probably go for a 2 dimm board for better oc chances to 9000+ My XP retro build is going to be wild tho. I'm going to use my Core 2 duo, 7800 GTX, and 2 gigs of DDR2 800. I'm curious about how well the 7800 GTX can perform without being constrained by a Pentium 4

I'm digging the no fog tweak, I'm not using reshade though since it messes with HDR
