Of course they said F off, since you seem to clearly not want to leave them. I know I am unique but I have ZERO pay for streaming services and the only subscription I have a XBox Gamepass Core, that is ti. There really is a life out there.

ANd yet no XBox nor Playstation update so that does not mean jack shit to me.

Alleged Staff? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And yet, I go to their sites and can purchase the consoles.

And then Sony will raise their prices and the same people will be standing up and clapping and cheering hard for it.

Nah, that is just so Asus can deny warranty claims, stating that the customer did not plug the card in correctly and that is why the connecter melted. :LOL:

Well, looks like I got out of gaming at the right time then, at least for me. I remember being amazed at how good Star Trek: Starfleet Command looked when I bought my first 3d accelerator card back in the 90's. I also remember how fantastic things looked and played in the 2000's when I would...

AMD is working on 2080Ti killer, AMD is working on 3090 Killer, AMD is working on 4090 Killer, AMD is working on 5090 Killer and on and on and on............ Well, the 7900XTX did kill the 2080Ti so I guess they did work on one. :D

Gamers in that age range have always spent less on gaming then more mature gamers. It is not complicated, the younger ones have always had less money to spend and the mature ones have more money to spend and enjoy.

Yeah, things are becoming far more invasive on Windows on a personal home level.

Although it was a good option to have, I think I never put it anywhere but on the bottom. I have gotten used to my M4 Pro Mac Mini and the bar being on the top.

AOL CD's?? Try the AOL 3.5 inch floppy disks that came with the cool computer magazines. I loved reading through them back then.

I remember having AOL dialup in 1994 and it was good back then. Got my first cable internet access in 1998 and I was blown away by the speed at that time.

I normally enjoy his videos but in this case, it was a terrible take and absolutely clueless test. First off, you can buy the game from Steam if you do not already own it there and if you do, you do not have to buy it again. It is also a smaller install from Steam. The game can be installed on...

Yeah, since I primarily use my Mac for media consumption and a rare gaming session, this LG C4 42 inch works great. In fact, I bought it at $899 and in just a week, it went down to $699 and I was able to get ti price matched.

Hey, if you want to use a 55 inch LG G5 as your computer monitor, go for it. I have found over the last 2 years that a 42 inch LG OLED works best for me. I use an LG C4 42 inch tilted forward with 6 literally quarters stacked under the back of each leg and it works really well, with my M4 Pro...

Except there is no 42 inch G4 or G5 so for us that want a 42 inch unit, that does not matter.

I probably will not buy it but I have been tempted to get a ROG Ally from Bestbuy Openbox Good for $550 since it also support the Steam OS. The storage can be upgraded with a 2230 size NVMe.

LOL! Something within something within something on underpowered hardware that Windows is not optimized for. Might as well just run Steam OS and skip the few XBox Windows games that are available, in comparison. Microsoft is just trying to play catch up, just like they did with their mobile...

No quick launch, no Hdr just working without having to configure it and even then, manually turn it off when you are at the desktop. A crap ton of launchers in Windows that load slow, games load slow and so on. With XBox, just plug in, power on, log in, download the games if you do not have them...

And yet, Windows 11 sucks for gaming in comparison to the XBox OS that is in use right now.

I want my XBox to be a console and not a PC, I want it to have console specific functions. If I want to get back into PC Gaming, I will just pick up a Steamdeck or one of those Lenovo handhelds with Steam OS.

Enjoy the Microcenter, I know I did back when I was into buying things. I did stop by the Microcenter just outside of Cleveland and ended up buying nothing, I just do not get into it anymore.

Are you just trying to instigate something? The SSD is not on the main Raid controller, I needed the driver for that controller it was on, a Intel C600 or something and it is working great. I previously had no issues installing it on the RAID 0 array but those are HDD's only.

WTF? I am an IT professional but clearly I have no issues asking for help when I need it. The RAID was already setup properly and was NEVER the issue, thankfully.

Thanks for the advice but the RAID array was not the issue. The driver would not install for the controller that the SSD was using until I plugged the drive into the USB 2.0 port.

Eh, PC gaming is generally dead nowadays anyways. The cost is prohibitive and most games that do not force RT on all the time can run fine on 5 year old desktop video cards.

That is a good idea. However, it turns out I needed to do the install from a USB 2 port, which worked correctly. However, thanks.

I have an old HP Z840 that has 64GB DDR4 ram, 4 x 1TB HDD's in Raid 0 and I also went ahead and stuck a 1TB SSD in it. Well, the driver for the interface that I plugged the SSD into is not built into Windows 10 or 11. When I try Windows 10, I can get to the point where I can select the driver...

In your opinion and only your opinion. The M4 Pro Mac Mini is a very powerful machine and uses far less power than any equivalent Windows based computer as well.

SteamOS works great because it is designed for gaming from the start. Also, for personal use at home, Windows 11 does take personal information from a users personal computer. If not that, it also can take information through verbal discussions well using Windows 11, which is very much like what...

If I were still into upgrading PC's, a Microcenter would be my dope. However, thankfully, the closest one I have is 3 hours away but since I am on vacation, I am going to go check it ou.

I use Windows daily at work, which is good, since backwards and modern day compatibility is critically important. However, at home, I am primarily on a M4 Pro Mac Mini and loving it.

Hey, I have an old computer here, a Xeon 2635-v4 or something, a GTX 1060 6GB and 64GB DDR4 ram with 4 x 1TB HDDs in Raid 0. I attempted to install Ubuntu 25.04 and it completely failed to do so, with 2 different usb installers. I really do not use the computer but I just put Windows 11 back on...

For a generic multi purpose Operating System, Windows works just fine and has great backwards compatibility. However, for more specialized purposes, not as much because of the kernel not being designed for multicore systems from the ground up. Microsoft has not prioritized Windows it at least 10...

Asus driver and monitoring software could go away and no one would miss it.

Or the Linux distribution that is used does not need those patches, since it could already be secure out of the box. Windows 10 works great and is faster than 11, from a subjective standpoint and objective standpoint, in so far as a computer that is not used online.

I bet if you add it up, your steam backlog probably cost $800 or more total, and many of those games you have zero interest in playing. Also, I have been around the PC gaming scene for 33 years, short of a steam deck, nothing is cheap anymore, even the lowest end stuff is stupid expensive. So...

By spending even more on way overpriced hardware and software, as far as newly released games go?

I was looking to see if this was a thread started on April 1st but nope...... Although, without an official statement, I would say it is nothing but rumor and hope.

The 8GB is just fine unless you are trying to run the newest unoptimized mess of games at ultra settings and super high frame rates. There are plenty older use cards that have 8GB and would do well, overall.
