    I'm tempted to buy a backup GPU...anyone else panic-buying?

    I have a 5090 on my main PC and a 4090 in the sim rig. I also have an old 3080 Ti I've kept in storage and a 2080 in my wife's PC so I'm good in case anything happens.

    Road Rash 30th Anniversary Edition

    I had Road Rash on the 3DO back in the day. Brings back a lot of memories. Loved the soundtrack too.

    Need RTX 4090 repair advice

    It's also possible to show the Wireview Pro II and MSI AI1300TS sensors in the RTSS in game OSD. The only thing is that HWiNFO64 has to be running in the background too.

    Need RTX 4090 repair advice

    I considered the $400 MSI MPG Ai1300TS but I ordered the $140 WVIIPro for the 4-year-old 4090 in my sim racing PC instead because I also didn't want to change the Seasonic TX1000 PSU I already have. I keep on reading about "additional points of failure" about the WireView especially on Reddit...

    current best air coolers

    I replaced the Peerless Assassin 120 with a Phantom Spirit 120 SE a few years ago since it's more quiet. Nice to see that it's still the GOAT.

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    Auto shutdown can be configured either on the device itself or by software. By the way, all settings are saved on the device so the software doesn't have to be running for it to do its thing. The auto-shutdown configuration options are comprehensive but I stick with the defaults so it would be...

    So if you want a PSU that can monitor 12v-2x6, MSI has two of them the MSI MPG Ai1300TS and Ai1600TS

    Is it possible to adjust the duration of the 2 minute shutoff protection feature?

    NVIDIA App now lets AI agents change your game settings, and the feature is already enabled

    While I don't appreciate that it's enabled by default but having it enabled won't do anything unless the user explicitly connects an AI agent.

    DLSS 5 - Generative AI

    In my case, preset B stutters in Doom: The Dark Ages but preset C doesn't. Subjectively, I don't notice differences in terms of image quality.

    5090 Production Halted

    If that's the case, Nvidia has an SOC in the Switch 2 and last I checked, that's the best selling console as of late. Obviously, I was referring to PC gaming.

    5090 Production Halted

    It's surprising that some people still think AMD is the savior of gamers. It has been painfully obvious that AMD is going all-in on AI at the expense of gaming for quite a while now. That's where the money's at. If anything, Intel was the one who tried but is unfortunately failing with ARC.

    Intel’s Nova Lake-S LGA1954 52 cores

    I already have DDR5 sticks so I'm more concerned about how much the motherboards will cost.

    No issues with 26H2.

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    Getting 420W in Novigrad 4K max settings including PT. DLSS RR 4.5 Performance (Preset F), Dynamic MFG (Preset B). 5090 is undervolted and it has a WireView II Pro.

    DLSS 5 - Generative AI

    I might be alone with this opinion but, I wasn't particularly wowed by the graphics of Crysis back then but I was blown away with Half Life 2, Doom 3 and Far Cry when those came out. I was also impressed with Battlefield 1 and The Last of Us Pt. 1 so on. Admittedly, at first glance, path tracing...
