    Geforce Now???

    My laptop is showing its age, and I can't afford to upgrade at the moment. So, I was thinking about using GeForce Now service. However, the free version has to many limits such as long que times, low resolution and poor video quality. The free version is a downgrade for me. I only have a 1080p...

    Would this setup be better than my current laptop?

    I agree in that this is not the best possible solution, but It is about all I can do on this budget. I am on a fixed income of not much and I am really limited as to what I can do. Even if it is a side grade at best at least I can upgrade it a part at a time unlike the laptop. I just want to...

    Would this setup be better than my current laptop?

    My laptop is about 4 years old and has a Intel i7 10750h CPU (6 core 12 thread at a max of 4.8ghz), 16gb of 2933mhz DDR4, Nvidia RTX2060 w/ 6gb dedicated memory. I am wanting to upgrade to a desktop. I have a pretty tight budget at the moment. I am currently using a 27" 1080p 144hz 1ms display...

    Which controller are you using for PC? (xbox?)

    I am using a Xbox One X controller. Really happy with it, I use it over Bluetooth however I also have the PC wireless adapter but I don't notice any difference using it so to free up clutter I don't use it. If you don't want wireless you can always plug it in with a Micro USB cable. I am...

    Need advice on new Motherboard Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX?

    I agree PCIe 5 is not a something I should be considering. I don't think we will see anything that will benefit from it for a while. As for the Gen5 SSD, I don't plan to start out with a Gen5 as currently there too expensive and yes, they do run very hot. I was thinking/hoping that in the next...

    Need advice on new Motherboard Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX?

    I am going to start buying parts for a computer build. I am either going to buy the Thermaltake Tower 100 or 200 depending on which motherboard I am going to get. I am open for Ryzen 5 7xxx series or Intel i5 13th or 14th gen CPU. I would like to go with a Mini ITX build but the only motherboard...

    New Games, Old Hardware.....

    If all you care about is that I got the price wrong of the GPU and the AMD "Branded" GPUs you are totally missing the point!

    My bad....Gigabyte $1500 AMD Video card...you are right, AMD doesn't sell video cards, they sell the GPU Chip that goes onto the video card that is made by others like Gigabyte.

    New Games, Old Hardware.....

    Wanted to update this post. I just replayed the Xbox Version of Starfield. Now that it has DLSS built in and I don't have to run a mod. Running on the Medium preset w/ DLSS and 50% resolution scale I am getting 60-75 fps most of the time, some dips to about 45 from time to time. But the image...

    Asus VG278 LCD Monitor HDMI/DP and Sound Input????

    I got the monitor, to answer one of my questions yes you can get audio over the hdmi but the speakers really are low volume at 100% there barely loud enough to be usable. What would be some good cheap speakers, something about $20 that will get me by for a couple months. (Christmas is killing my...

    Looking for a laptop cooler???

    Stop telling me to put a hole in my desk, I might just do it! Seriously though, I do have a Antec 200mm fan from case I use to have, a hole in my desk to match and a foam gasket to force the air through the laptop would help alot and I wouldn't have the issue of the laptop being raised up so...

    Looking for a laptop cooler???

    I had seen versions of those type of feet, problem I have is that the bottom of my laptop has the vents back there and there is little room to adhere them to the bottom. The feet I got are a little problematic finding the right place for them at first but once I do find the right placement I...

    Looking for a laptop cooler???

    I got the Klim Everest cooler. It did help alot with temps however having 2 fans the harmonics made the sound unbearable for me as well as how high the keyboard was from the desktop I had to return it. I am going to get the IETS GT500 it only has a single but larger fan sound should be lower...
