    DOOM Eternal - Official

    I want it, but not for 2x to 3x the price of other new releases. Normally steam charges me 20-30 dollars for AAA games, but for some reason Doom Eternal is listed at 60. Too bad there is no official shareware.

    MSI RMA Service - negative experience

    This is why I still use physical stores for certain purchases. They value me as customer and fight for each RMA I need. To which extent they fight I don't even know, I just drop the card off and they call me a bit later with a fix or replacement. I say this from an all MSI system... Knock on wood

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    5700XT here. I play few games. Mostly SIM racing games. Some Path of Exile. A little bit of Rebel Inc. now too. PoE had a bug in January where game would crash on specific events. The devs took a week to find a fix. Rebel Inc, no issues, but I only played it about 5 hours. The big one is...

    Best bang 4 buck 1TB NVMe SSD?

    I've been very happy with my Corsair MP510 series. Very quick reads & writes.

    Intel cuts prices by up to 74% on Xeons

    Some people want Intel for any reason. I'm not here to argue that. Those who want Intel can save a boatload of money by waiting a bit.

    Ryzen 9 3900x the undervolting champ?

    I've noticed the sweet spot to be about 15% lower in both clockspeed and vCore on any Ryzen CPU (except maybe the R5 1600AF). To me that simply means AMD has overclocked the chips out the door. Same with their GPU's, obscenely overclocked as stock. However, my workload is not folding, but more...

    Better monitor than an LG 27GL850 for $450 or less?

    Thanks for the reply. Issue for me is that the Asus is 200 dollars more here for me.

    Better monitor than an LG 27GL850 for $450 or less?

    https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27GL850-gaming-monitor I'm eyeing this monitor, and reviews say it's great but suffers from slightly low contrast ratio. Is there a better monitor within the price of $450? 27" is my target size.

    24K GOLD NINTENDO Analogue NT NES System #9 out of 10 Factory Sealed! Brand New!

    You can buy a 500 dollar gold electroplating kit and electroplate the shit out of anything. Phones, TV's, consoles, Raspberry Pi's, mice, controllers... anything. The per item cost is negligible.

    Price being equal; 5700XT or 2070 Super?

    With the custom 5700XT cards now appearing locally here, but with prices that matches the 2070 Supers, should I just go 2070 Super instead of the 5700XT? Or is the 5700XT still a better buy at the same price (less than 15 dollar difference)? I (will) have a 144Hz 1440p monitor for gaming and...

    Ryzen 9 3900x the undervolting champ?

    I may have been a little overagressive with lowering the vcore. Something decided to corrupt and kill my Bluetooth on the mainboard. No amount of trying to repair windows or drivers brought it back. Only a fresh install worked... Or it might have been the system file corruption which have been...
