I had two engine crashes in the hour I just played. Temps were ok. Reloads from desktop after the crashes were quicker than many save game loads... but yeah, got two freezes. Game looks amazing at 4K with everything maxed, 65-125FPS. I’d keep playing if I didn’t have to work tomorrow.

My Fractal S24 AIO set to auto (I like quiet) isn’t helping me on the Cinebench test. Thankfully, I don’t play Cinebench. The fact I can now fly over NYC at 45+ FPS at 4K in MSFS is enough to convince me the 5800x is a great part.

Hitting 70C in Cold War. GPU @ 74C. Enjoying the campaign for sure, graphics are pretty good... some shadow weirdness here and there. Maxed out @ 4k, RT and DLSS running, locked at 60Hz. My monitor is definitely the weak point in my setup. Hit 90C after 4 minutes in Cinebench R23...

Haven't tried burning my 5800x yet, but I have Cinebench R23 on the download just to have a look. I'm idling at 39-44C, Modern Warfare brings it up to 74ish C. Just waiting on the HD Texture Pack to download from Battle.net and I'll be trying out 4k Ultra on Black Ops Cold War. If I'd known...

Just grabbed it, thanks.

Had a buddy stand in line yesterday morning for an hour (ha ha ha) at Canada Computers in Oshawa. He was second in a line of 10 guys and managed to buy one of the 6 Ryzen 5800x processors they had in stock at launch. That's all they had, no 5900x, no 5950x and surprisingly no 5600x. He gets a...

I was a pretty big fan of my 8800GT SLI setup. Worked great! ...most of the time ha ha

Said yesterday it was impossible to buy a 3000 series nVidia card and was proven wrong this morning. I’m a trainer for workers about to retube and replace feeder pipes at a CANDU nuclear reactor here in Canada and I’m on a 4/10 schedule.... so I woke up this morning on my day off and noticed...

Wow, this is some history from the year I joined this forum. X800 Pro, Half-life 2, Doom 3. Good times!

Damn impossible to buy a 3000 series card in Canada. I personally know 2 other people who have even heard of a 3080/3070. Super frustrating, but it’s not like my 2070 Super is junk. The Radeon 6950 Toxic in my daughter’s computer is long in the tooth though and she’s set up to get the RX580 in...

Happily using a Gigabyte X570 Master with a 3700x, Gigabyte X570 Gaming X with a 1600AF and a Gigabyte X470 Master with a 3100. Previous board was a Gigabyte x48t-dq6 and had no issues with it either. Running Raid 0 with a pair of 1TB Sabrent nVME drives on the Master, 32GB of Corsair RGB Pro...

Ha ha, been spending a minute on the F5 game and saw that a bit ago too. No dice though, just popped up a blank box and then finally went back to out of stock ha ha. Fun times!

Not sure wtf you’re on about but I’m entertained.

I have zero confidence nVidia will do anything to rectify the “situation”, if you can call it that. They sold out, all good on their end.

Really wanted an FE, failed and was so angry I went about my day normally. Will sit on my 2070 Super I guess. FE was the only version I was ready to F5 for. Any legitimacy to that Bounce account that apparently had a bot buying up 40+ at a time for flippers? I’ll try my luck with the 3090...
