For Nvidia I am a big fan of Nvidia Inspector to fine-tune a nice undervolt + OC. found this a lot faster to find my GPU's sweet spot for performance and temps than MSI Afterburner's curve editor, but it is still good. Here is what my curve edit looks like for reference: I manually found the...

What are your voltages in HWiNFO? You can undervolt the 5800X3D no problem. I am using PBO2 Tuner to do a -20 mV all core undervolt on login. Really helps lower temps. -30 mV is max offset for this software. Post for latest version of CurveOptimizer with Task Scheduler support...

I find this opposite for me. I specifially game on my 4k60 monitor because I am so CPU limited I cannot go past 60. If I can, I use the 1440p144hz panel instead.

I loved Mafia 1. While I didn't like the story in M2, the incredible graphics and optimization made it an excellent PC game. It ran so well on my GTX 650. Mafia 1 was all about the story for me. Once you beat the story you unlock a strange free roam mode with challenges. Free roam was something...

I disagree with the statement that 144hz is enough. I want to find that out for myself. My buddy has a 240hz and I have a 180hz. Side by side, the 240hz feels better. 144hz is a noticable downgrade. I don't feel like 144hz is bad though. I recommend it since it is so cheap in USA. $1 a hz is...

I had a bent pin on my Z97. Was missing a channel of DDR3. Had to take a DSLR and really zoom in to find it, since the bend was so small. LTT thumbnails are so clickbaity. Feels gross.

I got a 1080 ti FE for a crazy bargain. It ran fine but was at 90c at load. Just needed new paste. The cooler sucks. At 4k60 in RDR2 it is by far the loudest GPU I have owned since a GT 6800 EVGA blower I had. It is able to stay below 80c at 2ghz at 100% fan speed though. I really want to...

Been playing coop campaign on CE with a buddy. Way harder than Reach. Just as fun as when we did coop on Xbox over 15 years ago!

I find it amazing that the Epic Game Store still lacks a setting to throttle the download speed when downloading a game. Without that feature, downloading a game is very annoying.

When Asus released their 240hz, I got their 180hz last gen model for a great deal. Hoping the same happens again. 240hz to 280hz is gonna be interesting to see in person. Not sure if I can tell. I did get to compare my 180hz to my friend's 240hz side by side and it was quite noticeable. I do...

There's already Xbox One X games rendering at native 4k60. New Xbox (and PS5) will be probably go back down to 30fps at 4k for some really demanding games, but I am 100% confident the next Forza and Gran Turismo will do native 4k60 no problem.

Steam backs up every version of a game on their servers. Using the Steam Console, you can force a game back to a specific version; even if the version you want isn't listed. This allows modding a game like GTA V to be very easy. If I just own RDR2 on the Rockstar Launcher, I am going to need a...

Like online? Cause the only reason I play Rockstar games is for the SP mods. And FiveM has also come quite a long way. The launcher did temporarily disable offline mode, and it did update GTA V breaking the mods. Thankfully Steam allows users to download any version of the game they want via...

Never buy a blower. Even a 1060 blower is hot and loud. Any GPU can be cool and quiet with the right cooler. We know the 5700 is gonna get aftermarket cooling.

I really wanna see some Kerbal Space Program CPU benchmarks of Ryzen 3000. CPU limited even at 4k. 1 core used for your ships.
