    Advil replied to the thread Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?.
    Not eating for a day and staying up to 2am doesn't make you shaky and vomit. What was the rest of the story? Had you not had anything to drink for 48 hours? Because that's a whole different universe from simply not eating.

    Advil replied to the thread Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?.
    No. Whatever video games may do or be in terms of an addiction, it's not in the same universe as cigs, weed, drugs, alcohol, rampant sex and STDs, or gambling in terms of life destruction. A hundred years ago you could have been addicted to...

    It looks good it's not as big as the camera makes it look. But a udm pro SE would have done the same thing and had integration for cameras and door access in the future and have been only one device.

    Advil replied to the thread My first AMD Graphics Card since the R9 290X - My Gigabyte RX 9070 XT Gaming OC experience.
    Yeah bring up the RAM 100mhz, undervolt -25mv or -50mv to start with and the card will clock up on it's own. You may or may not want to bring the power limit up, but I don't recommend maxing it. You may get better results at only around +5%...

    Advil replied to the thread [DEAD] HOT $629 GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC.
    The thermal gel thing was only on the first month or two of cards after launch but it made a lot of news that just wouldn't go away. They fixed it and it's one of the better cooling cards with a good vapor chamber. I took mine apart that I got...

    Advil replied to the thread Playstation single player games will no longer be ported to PC.
    This won't stand up for long. The games will always get ported to PC eventually as said above its free money after a couple years of exclusive. More like they're leaning on their brand power to generate fomo in their usual customers to buy the...

    If you want a great graphics card this year, buy. Crazy good deal.

    Advil replied to the thread Micron Begins Sampling of 256 GB DDR5 9200 MT/s.
    No kidding talk about rubbing everyone's nose in it. Nice Micron. The question is who actually gives a crap? Parts that only a tiny number of systems engineers and purchasing agents will ever buy. Nothing but data center product news releases...

    Advil replied to the thread MARATHON (Bungie).
    I think another question is how many aaa pvp games can the market support? There's a limit to the player base for sweaty pvp. Always has been. There's hundreds of choices out there now. I was honestly surprised Deadlock didn't explode way way...

    Advil replied to the thread RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation.
    They were only saying they were still in business and are "working" on next gen cards. Nothing about release date. It won't be this year and maybe not even next with the current state of things. It was them saying "were alive" not hinting at...

    Advil replied to the thread Upgrade to oled.
    Burn in isn't what is going to take my screen out, it's the dead pixels along the edges of the screen creeping in. Oxidation creeping in from failing sealing along the edges is what im reading it probably is? With just basic care I've had...

    No one is releasing new cards this year. The industry is dead for now.

    Advil replied to the thread This Early Access pirate game was quietly killing your SSD without you knowing.
    It's not a hard rule and older Samsung drives tended to hold up far better under high write losds but years ago those Samsung drives could also have been 30-50% more expensive so they were far from the most common choice for home end users. Most...

    Advil replied to the thread This Early Access pirate game was quietly killing your SSD without you knowing.
    I was just writing something about that. I've seen other sites comment sections where people say it's no big deal. They don't get what the real world endurance is like. Especially on an older sata SDD from 5+ years ago. The 256 and 512GB...

    Advil replied to the thread NVIDIA To Bring Back The GeForce RTX 3060 In Q1 2026 To Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages.
    Newegg's got Onix B580 cards in stock for $290. From what I hear they're ok. You can get a 9060xt for $340 on Amazon. That's a little higher than I remember them recently, but that's everything these days. It's going to be interesting. If...

    Advil replied to the thread NVIDIA To Bring Back The GeForce RTX 3060 In Q1 2026 To Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages.
    These cards launched Feb 2021. 1) Are they relevant against anything newer like the 12GB B580 and 8GB 9060XT that will likely be in the same price range? 2) By re releasing these now, does the clock start over on driver support? Will Nvidia...

    Advil replied to the thread LG 48CX.
    Yeah I'm with you there. I think next time around I'll still end up OLED because it's hard to go back. But OLED tech was light years ahead of everything else 6 years ago. Now it's mature and I think I can happily pick a model well under $1000...

    If it makes it to the end of the year that will be 6 years. That's kinda unfortunate but I went in eyes open. I've enjoyed the hell out of thus thing and currently it's minor and I can't see the pixels from sitting distance yet but next screen...

    Advil replied to the thread LG 48CX.
    Well guys, there they are. 9611 hours later I've got some dead pixels forming along the top edge of the screen. I'm going to check how long my extended warranty is good for, but it's probably just barely out by now. It may go another year, but...
