well sweet, looks like there's already a workaround for PC multiplayer. console players are SOL. i already got it working and played for a bit. still sux ea's gotta be like that though. here's the info in case anyone is looking to play...
Man.. BFBC2's my favorite BF of all time. wonder why they're taking it down? that one ran on dedicated servers, i mean if they want to shut down official server then whatever but why try to kill the game?
i'm gonna have to load it up and get some rounds in. i haven't played it since one of...
you should give one of the new non-curing pastes a go. i would think wet mortar would conduct better than dry mortar. but say i'm wrong and you have to move the system and it gets jarred and said mortar joint breaks, at that point do you think you'll still be getting same performance with your...
prob easier to spy on them especially if there are warrants outside of where Mint operates which is i believe would be california. i'm sure by now it's common knowledge NSA has contracts w/ all the major players in the game. guess mint has gotten to big for it's own good?
personally will never use AS5 again, i use to use it because everyone swore by it, but i already didn't like it because after a couple months it dries out and cements parts together. and i don't know if that may have been part of a problem i had but i had been running a custom loop for a...
it's the spot price or what not or close to it. i mean not all places will, some of them will try and rip you off, but i know this one place i took a chain in i had got as a kid in the 80's (felt bad about it) because i was going through some hard times and i don't wear gold anyway, and they...
well, where i live, in va beach, i know a couple places i can go during normal buisness hours and they'll give you cash for gold/silver
but listen to what you're saying. keeping money in cash or in the bank doesn't get adjusted for inflation.
i mean i'm not saying don't keep money in the bank...
doesn't the 4090 require 450w worth of pcie? trying to remember the last time we had a 450w gpu? kinda sounds like some brute forcing going on over their side too
but really that 4070ti should have been the 4060 at best with it's anemic memory bus. i was just looking at how they're charging...
as an electrician i've done a number of high end homes with safe rooms and even my uncle, his wife's a doctor and in their detatched garage they have one with a bank vault door all the walls and ceiling are concrete, and if you have something like that, keeping gold, silver, and guns is really...
according to this https://www.asml.com/en/news/stories/2022/making-euv-lab-to-fab the light wavelength the EUV machines use is 13.5 nm but i still can't find anything saying that TSMC's 5nm (N5,N4) node is actually producing 11-14 nm chips. unless that's how they rate them but i thought company...
the only time i had long boot times was when i tried changing the bclk. anything except the default 100mhz, even at 101, would cause 5min boot. i'm guessing that's why asus had originally didn't have that as an option in the bios but later added it in because i guess enough of us were b*tching...
i thought i read somewhere that TSMC 4nm was part of the 5nm node and yeah technically not 4nm but they, for whatever reason, didn't want to call it N4.8? and thought tsmc had their own proprietary tech that's more advanced and than any one else's and being that's how they make their money...
for what it's worth, i have it disabled on my machine and everything still works.
but i really only buy games on steam. only games i bought on there were Red Dead Redemption and Borderlands 3 because they were epic exclusives. but after my modem/router took a lightning strike and finding...

modus operandi
noun
A method of operating or functioning.
doesn't mean it's not a problem. copied this from pc perspective (https://pcper.com/2023/03/blacklotus-eats-secure-boot-for-breakfast-and-likes-it/)
"That is the real use of BlackLotus, the ability to render a machine...
"BlackLotus has become the first publicly known malware capable of bypassing secure boot defenses." (and therefore also tpm) guess it was only a matter of time?

why not just hire some QA and test it themselves so they can release a quality product to consumers?
or even just build a solid stable platform for people to compute on instead of trying to add a bunch of stuff nobody asked for and trying to switch things up every six months just to act like...
yeah, i had a crash the other day and was digging around in event viewer and noticed a bunch of errors from nvidia not being able to connect to the network (prob because i use a vpn that locks out network at boot) but i don't even have geforce experience installed or any automatic updating, none...
did you not forget that Samsung have always inflated their performance numbers by how well they perform "out of the box" instead of how they performed once there was a little bit of data on the drive? and the performance degraded exponentially the more that was written vs something like the...
if you follow the link in the original post, there was an update
Update 01/27/2022 6:30 pm PT
PC Games Hardware has retracted the original claim that DirectStorage affects frame rates. The outlet used CapFrameX, a utility based on Intel PresentMon, to record the frame rates. Unfortunately...
like others said, "probably not" but i'm guessing they will probably be like the last couple generations where performance gains are had by overclocking/getting better memory
May want to look at those Western digital sn850's I've had one for a couple years now and I check every now and then and there's never any updates so it looks like it was a pretty solid product from release? plus that's what they are recommending for PS5 upgrades so I'm figuring they should work...
yeah, but when directstorage drops and starts becoming a requirement for the latest games, you're gonna need a pcie 4 ssd.
and to o.p. yes you're gonna want it heatsinked, especially the high performance ones. if your drive doesn't come with or your board doesn't include one, or you want a...
not that i plan on moving to win11 anytime soon, but i was just looking to see if there were any free start menu replacements and i found this https://windowsreport.com/windows-11-free-start-menu-replacement/
there's 5 of them on that page but "open shell" looks interesting, wondering if...
I'm thinking it feels like a lot less because a lot of us didn't upgrade from win7 till we had to. so really only been on it full time for a couple/few years now
yeah i loaded up AC3 recently because i had got it in a give away a while back and didn't finish it because it was boring a.f. you basically just hold down a button and he does all the runs, jumps and parkour for you until you get to where you do combat and that just feels too clunky to me...
theoretically but luckily even a system with a 3090 running furmark and prime95 at the same time you wouldn't be pulling 1500w, you really just want to have overkill on power supply wattage so you're not maxing out. running a power supply at 100% rated load for extended period of time probably...
plus w/ 4090 you got to look at posibly buying a new power supply and worrying about connector melt. and whether you even got room the for that thing? heck i still run a soundcard and like to have a slot open for a nic because i've had lighting take em out before.
DLSS 3.0 looks like trash with it's interpolation. FSR's not bad it basically does the same thing and they announced FSR 3.0 will be dropping in 2023 which they're saying can give up to 2x fps at 4k and then they got this Hyper-RX thing coming too.
just nvidia thinking $1600 is a great price...
you might be surprised how well a good sound card can sound. but i do actually use a 3.5mm to xlr going to my JBL 306p mkII monitors and 3.5mm to rca going to a dayton audio sa230 subwoofer amplifier that powers a JBL Club 1224 12" sub in a sealed box that sits under my desk and tellin you man...
i know, i never wanted to do that. i'm talking about either a) leaving the old pads and putting super thin coat of tim or b) putting it back as is and risking sub optimal contact if that was the only 2 options
was just was thinking, not sure which version of the card you have but some of them have a tiny switch on the card that switches between a low noise and an oc mode? also make sure you unlocked voltage monitoring also in afterburner. and double check it's version 4.6.5
also someone on reddit...
