    A picture I took 2022

    Thanks for confirming my eyesight isn't giving up just yet :) I suspected technical limitations of sorts at first, but it's so subtle, I really wasn't sure if maybe I was seeing something that wasn't there. I must say, you did an excellent job mitigating the equipment limitations!

    A picture I took 2022

    Neat. I like it. Not sure if it's YT or maybe it's my eyes deceiving me, but when you pan vertically, the video is noticeably less smooth (0:39, 0:55). Horizontal panning seems fine.

    Cyberpunk 2077: Night City Wire premieres June 25

    The only T-poses I encountered involved NPC's... but it's been a while since I last played it, so who knows. The only other 2 memorable bugs involved cars. First one, I remember accidently summoning the car while in some apartment at the top of the skyscraper. Naturally, I expected the car to...

    Cyberpunk 2077: Night City Wire premieres June 25

    I picked up CE on release, spent +100 hours playing it, and have enjoyed every minute of it, with minimal to no issues on release. Granted, I was also fortunate enough to be able to pick up 3080 on release, so that also helped with the game's fidelity. The game missed its mark, and it was way...

    Best GPU for PhotoShop/Lightroom

    You won't see much difference between the two in Lightroom. LR doesn't really use much vram, and GPU acceleration only requires 2GB to run. Video editing however, is a different ballgame, so if your choice is only between the two cards listed, I'd go with the 2060 to get access to more vram.

    I've had this happen to me as well. Was is Delamain cab? For whatever reason, weird stuff always happens with that car. I once accidently called for a car while being in a high rise tower.. 12th floor or thereabout. Delamain entered the apartment through the window like a kool-aid man, then...

    Official EVGA Ampere Queue Thread

    Yes, but it's a bit hard to extrapolate any meaningful statistics out of that. I know there's some obscure Google doc floating around with people's sign-up times, but unless EVGA releases actual number (which will never happen) it's anyone's guess. Could be 1k, could be 100k... we just don't...

    It's their first Cyberpunk. Witcher 1 wasn't great either.... just wait another decade or two until Cyberpunk 4077.. it's going to be legendary! Even Brendan (the vending machine) has a better story than any of them...

    Or just use the poster exploit. Sell it for $4k and buy it back for $5. Net profit = $3,995/transaction. Rinse and repeat... infinite money.

    A completionist can definitely address it all... there are even achievements for completing all gigs/NCPD scanner missions in each neighborhood.

    Cyberpunk 2077 Player Discussion Thread

    The music in this game is what stood out the most to me after playing it for a few hours last night. It is fantastic. Now... driving with mouse/kb also stood out to me as well... and I'd rather get a Roach.

    Cyberpunk 2077: Night City Wire premieres June 25

    Yup... very much on course to be another CDPR hit... great game, but just like every Witcher game, it's probably best to wait for the GOTY edition... though I'm not going to wait that long. :D I do hope they can patch it quickly, and fix most of the bugs.

    CYBERPUNK 2077 US$43.99 / $41.79 with code

    You do know this isn't an action FPS game, though.. right? It's a slow burning RPG, played from the FPP. That's just it... it's going to be a lot more similar to the Witcher games than you think. I think CDPR's biggest mistake was pushing out action packed trailers... and now a lot of people...

    I Bought an RTX 3060 Ti Today!

    Not for the new releases; from what I can tell, it's all in store purchases only. When I checked their site around noon, my local MC was still showing to have 3060's in stock, so they either got a large delivery, or people just didn't jump on that particular location for the cards.

    I really hope Best Buy doesn't screw up my pre-order. The game's been delayed multiple times, and with every delay I get an e-mail notification from them "order cancelled" followed by "sorry, we sent an e-mail in error". To make matters worse, I created the account on their site after placing an...

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=400-HY-1978-B1 You can get the cooler itself for a little over $100. You'll probably get it a lot quicker too. Is it worth it? You have to answer that yourself. And no, you cannot step up more than once with EVGA.

    Is there a GTX 1650 Super that fans don't surge, revving randomly etc?

    I bought it because I needed something cheap to hold me over until the new release. Since I upgraded to 3080 last month, the 1650 is back in its box in a closet. I picked it up over others, because it was the one available at the time of purchase. Impressed? It's a budget card.. it works and...

    Is there a GTX 1650 Super that fans don't surge, revving randomly etc?

    I used this one and fans never revved up during day to day use. I'm a little shocked by its current price, though. It was $150 when I picked it up in January. :shifty:

    The [H] RTX 3080 owners thread.

    I set all my fans in BIOS, but I also use this fan controller for the intake fans only. Use whatever you're comfortable with.

    The [H] RTX 3080 owners thread.

    You can adjust the fan curve in BIOS. Too bad you didn't swing for the updated Lancool case. It has better air cooling capabilities.
