This is probably why AMD hasn't bothered to try slap a faster/better IGPU on... wait for DDR5 and also make some reason to upgrade from current APUs lol.

This My i7-4790K I bought the parts used in 2014 or so just as DDR 4 was being pushed out I only bought last gen as I wanted to be able to use my existing 2 x 8GB DDR 3 from the i7-2600 PC that a friend gave me minus the HDD (it failed) and power...

I don't really mind EGS that much, I use it for a few games I've purchased, yes I grabbed them there because of sales or timed exclusivity, but can't really complain. I do have a lot of free stuff as well, so yey?

Exactly all the gamers buying into the 30% !!!! WTF Bs marketing from Epic... forget what game publishing was before Steam. Valve got big enough off a couple hits to start calling some of their own shots... and what they did was find away to free...

Their platform sucks. Say you have Epic 30 games installed on a separate game/data drive and you want to reinstall Windows. After reinstalling Windows and the Epic client, the client DOES NOT DETECT your 30 games. You have to jump through...

I actually don't have an issue with the EGS. I mean, it's barebones but it works. Competition is good.

IIRC 2011 was when I built my 2600k rig, I've never had so long out of a rig (okay it got fried so I replaced MB/CPU with same platform) - a groundbreaking dual core Opteron 939 was the only thing close.

Just upgraded our oldest system 4c(8t) for my daughter whose going in to digital art. She’ll have a nice AMD 3900x 12c(24t) system with 32Gigs of RAM. Dad gets the 5900x. :)

3570K 16GB DDR3 1333 built in Feb 2013 5950x arrives Sunday, 64GB DDR4 3600 I ride or die with the last of the last gen

I approve this post

Oh baby, speaking my language :D You mentioned tubing. Have you heard of my lord and savior ZMT? It's EPDM and basically indestructible in this use case.

Assuming the same format, a thicker rad always provides more cooling; and/or slower fan speeds can be used to provide the same or better cooling that a thinner, usually higher fpi rad can do. Unless you are fine with high fan speeds. Also with...

I think there is now. But with a freighter you can own multiple ships (maybe without a freighter). So you don't need to touch the upgrades, just add news ones to the new ship.

My double wide steel case has wheels on it for exactly this reason! If there was no room, it also doubled as a portable gaming surface (for KB/Mouse). Last LAN I did was few years back, CS:S, UT and few others was a great time! Best way to...

It use to be for the low latency and network performance, now you can get that where ever you are as long as you have broad band. However, you can never replace gaming in the same room as other people and the fun that is had with that. =)

We've had an annual LAN party for the last 20+ years (until last year - last year broke the chain). We do it the week of July 4. 24x7 gaming all week long. As far as games being "online" vs LAN - that's just networking. Who cares? The important...

You can get 1-2ms latency on a LAN. Show me a game where you can get that kind of latency over the internet. 100-150ms lag is somehow considered "good" these days.

LG V10 with IR control has been able to control almost everything I've tried it on over the years (to hours of hilarity)..

I've grabbed most of their freebies. I think I have spent perhaps $100 there since they launched when they had their big sales with coupons. Their launcher is basic and it works okish... but I don't know downloads are still slower vs Steam where...
