    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    Speaking only for myself, I'm looking forward to the expansion. I'd be more excited about a Witcher 4, though.

    FIVR fault, computer powers off under stress test

    What do you get if you measure the 12V power input to the motherboard while it's working? Does it droop below 12V?

    Video Card Fried. What to do with it?

    Given that it failed slowly, I assume it got less and less stable until it just continuously crashes? I've bought and repaired a few. They do sell occasionally, particularly if they're interesting models, like the old dual GPU cards, or high end overclocking boards. Right now, what you see is...

    Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master won't power on - (temporary) solution

    What voltage do you have on that pin from the power supply, to the power supply's ground? With it unplugged, do you have 5v?

    Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master won't power on - (temporary) solution

    What resistance do you have between the 5VSB pin and ground? Like, in actual ohms.

    Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master won't power on - (temporary) solution

    What do you get if you test resistance across the 12V input pins on CPU power header? What about the +12V pins on the 24 pin connector, or any other supplemental power connectors, like a six or eight pin down near the PCI-E slots?

    Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master won't power on - (temporary) solution

    What happens when you hit the power button? Does it power up, but not POST? Or does it turn on for just a second, and then immediately shut off?

    R9 290 bios recovery?

    You should be able to use ATIFlash to write the proper bios back on it. You'll need to plug it into a system with another, working graphics card, boot up with the display plugged into the working on, and then use ATIFlash to write the proper BIOS onto it. It's been a while, but I think this...

    Horizon Zero Dawn (Official Discussion Thread)

    There's enough story if they mainly focused on the Zero Dawn time period. But yeah, I don't see it ending well if they tried to make a whole movie of far future robot dinosaurs. In fact, I think they could leave that out entirely, and make it all about Faro and Sobeck, and how Faro's...

    Bad News: The 5080 will actually have the performance of a 70 series card. Will it still be priced as an 80 series?

    What that says to me is that there's room for a 5080 Ti, which is how it used to be back in the good old days.

    I may be an idiot. 7900xtx to 4090 cs2 only

    This is what I was thinking. 200FPS sounds like overkill for most games, but really competitive players demonstrate an advantage to even higher framerates. I've heard that the best players turn off textures and run a lower resolution, even. IMHO, if you don't already have one, the next...

    Dead 4090 FE?

    You don't always get a violent pop or smell or anything when a FET goes bad. Sometimes the FET just melts inside, creates the short, and the system shuts down. When it initially failed, did the system actually shut down completely, or did you just get a black screen?

    Dead 4090 FE?

    If the system shut down completely when it went bad, and removing the graphics card causes it behave normally, then you can be about 90% sure that the problem is the graphics card. Given the symptoms, I would suspect a failure of a high-side power FET in one of the voltage regulators. You can...

    Any keyboard recommendation for programmer and CAD user?

    I would think this would be more about preference than any objective ranking. I prefer Cherry MX blue switches and a numpad for my professional use (mostly programming, a little CAD), but others might like something else. The type of switches and general form factor are really the big...
