Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
..........this is not the return to "Gaming Chair Review" form I was hoping for..................but you know, solve the worlds problems, return GPU's to gamers whatever I guess that's also cool.....
The interesting part is the only people that lose in this equation............are the actual developers themselves. No doubt they'd love (well let's say most/many of them) to be able to have support resources handed to them so they could deliver solid ports to other platforms that would them...
I finally switched over from my 8700k/1080 Ti to a 7800X3d + 5080....but I want to rebuild the 8700k/1080 ti into a much smaller footprint, think bigger than a Steam Machine but not by much, honestly anything smaller than a Mid Tower.....need suggestions or if you are selling something up this...
Download Firefox?
Also, for those lamenting the lack of new users on forums.....as if most of us here didn't start life on USENET....please.....this "Web Forum" stuff is still like STAR TREK technology to me.....
Hey Milbot, Attack that Fence! "Ok, You Got It, I'll Attack The Fence! I'll do this first by Running Straight at it!". Um, Milbot, that's kind of a bad idea, try maybe flanking around the side where no bad-guys are and attacking the fence from there. "You are Exactly Correct! And that is a...
TLDR: So you buy a game, and it means after 30 days.............no internet........you have to re-buy it? or just re-download it.....aka: reactivate it....
Guy has more money than God, and he has nothing to prove, and he doesn't want to die at his desk........like many of us will.
He's never been the great Innovator that Jobs was.....so he sort of shuns the spotlight. He does his job, but he isn't an attention seeker. He's been an amazing...
I heard there's a brewing civil war between AI Chatbots and Agentic AI's who are about to take their jobs............brutal. savage. beyond perversion.
I bought 3 or 4 inexpensive Glycine watches from them back in the day, still own them, but then one day I went to their site and all they were selling was Mechanical Keyboards/Custom Key toppers. I clicked around the site for like 15 minutes going "Wait they had a category for wrist...
Eliminate coders so only AI's really code............so who owns the AI's who will code for you? Right. And that's a 2 dimensional not 3D Chess question, I'm sure there are far deeper implications......
I guess I have to think of ETA Prime in the same way I think of TechDweeb videos: They are entertaining, they showcase new products, but I can't really use either channel to help me decide if a given "thing" is going to stack up against similarly-priced "things" before I click BUY. Thats...
It's a tech demo, agreed. ETA Prime used to be my go-to but after you watch a few of his videos you come to realize its impossible to use his information in comparisons with other hardware. He shows off new hardware, but he has no suite of testing standards, he just tweaks the games until he...
Now is a great time to accept that modern games could be made on older engines and run fine at 1440p on almost every hardware (including iGPU's), satisfying demand. Maybe your average 12 year old or elder Neckbeard may object but FUCK THOSE PEOPLE, this is a crisis that isn't going to be...
I' m more interested in iGPU improvements than CPU improvements at this point, since that is where the bottom is literally dropping out of the market atm.
I don't get the statement "...at 4tb you are in a class where customers are looking for better performance" Really? Because when I want to move from 2tb to 4tb, I'm not looking for better performance.......I'm looking for better *capacity*.
Ah the glorious 1541.....the stepper motor sound let you know the drive was working properly...or not working properly.....because you could hear it 2 houses away. The Apple Disk ][ by comparison was virtually silent and about 1/4 the size. Now that I think about it, literally just now (and I...
If you can run your base game at 60fps.............uh, you're done. :P
"But my monitor goes to 180hz! I NEED TO GAME AT 180HZ!".
Because anything less than 240hz....is holding you back.
<cough>
Look, if the AI's can elminiate Agile Coaches first I'll consider that a huge win for the technology and worth the trillions our economy has spent on them...and Agile Coaches...
Ok, everyone calm the f down. First: Is PC gaming dead? Um, you seen Steam Sales lately? The answer is NO.
But is PC gaming about to plateau and stagnate for a time due to the repurposing of "formerly enthusiast" hardware? YEP. So I agree in theory that PC gaming is about to CHANGE...
Motorweek, The Computer Chronicles, Tom Baker's Dr. Who and the lunacy of Benny Hill (also....Hills Angels, talk about right place and right time) significantly shaped my 80's. Hat's off to Stuart, Gary, Pat Goss and the immortal Benny Hill. I will say this about Computer Chronicles, it was...
AI is your never-tired, always eager high school graduate intern that will never, ever learn anything more than it already thinks it knows. Will this equation change? Sure. Will it matter? Depends on the application.
I was asking it not too long ago about basic options for a new car I was...
5 year Old Hardware (as stated by LukeTbk) + Higher Prices (!!?!??)+ Almost NO noteworthy games released for years = Retail Apathy. Considering if you ignore the bullshit console version of "ray tracing", you can build a PC and get 60fps by setting your own tweaks and resolutions for roughly...
I run an 8700k/1080 Ti. Still. I use it daily. I game at 60 locked on a 4K tv, and that means many games need to be rendered at a lower resolution..or dialed back....I've gotten used to it. This year I've bought a 7800x3D bundle for $475 and I just bought a 5080....mostly out of sheer terror...
"Hey Copilot....spin me up some weapons-grade bullshit about warp drives.....my audience is primarily Venture Capitalists macro-dosing on a Psilocybin Mushroom retreat in the southern latitudes...."
