    HELLDIVERS II

    If Jason "Thor" Hall is playing it you're probably going to be ok to play it too.

    HELLDIVERS II

    Sorry for the late response, but I'm still playing the game. My one and only metric is fun. If I'm having fun I play, if not I move onto something else. If that's in 40, 80, 1000 hours it's all good. I'm not one of those people that thinks or needs a game to perpetually entertain me and I'm...

    HELLDIVERS II

    Best + most fun co-op game I've played in ages. I love how the accidental TKs are basically part of the game ;)

    Do you like wide gamut monitors ??? And do you use a colorimeter?

    I love the saturated look you can get with wide gamut screens. It's not accurate but I like it none the less ;)

    Anyone went strictly to SSDs only yet ?

    I have a 3x2TB NVME and then a bunch of oldder SSDs slapped together in another 5 or so TB. Haven't used a spinner in my main system in years. The file server is another story though.

    Asrock X670e Taichi or something else?

    Never had a problem with the AAF drivers either. They were really solid when I needed DTS Connect or DDL Live or even the SoundBlaster stuff. Agreed that some of those download sites are cancer++

    help with Windows 10/11 and port forwarding

    This isn't a firewall issue at all. If both PCs are on the same LAN port 80 will work. If these PCs are Internet facing turn it back on because you're probably exposing port 80 to the wild Internet. You are absolutely using the wrong IP address.

    Am I allowed to hate Microsoft/Windows?

    Microsoft's main demographic isn't tech enthusiasts and with WSL, VScodium, winget, etc it's not like they're giving the middle finger to em either. Not sure what's wrong with Microsoft hardware either. Their surface laptops have been great.

    Am I allowed to hate Microsoft/Windows?

    Some people here have old information. Literally first hit on google about this. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4777/~/nvidia-dch%2Fstandard-display-drivers-for-windows-10-faq First step in troubleshooting. TLDR newer (as in since Windows 10) DCH drivers don't install...

    4K Editing Brings My Ryzen 5 1500x To Its Knees

    4k requires a fast I/O subsystem. Thankfully good + fast NVMEs exist ;). Even on the cheap you could RAID0 together 3 or 5 cheap SATAIII SSDs for some scratch space. edit: To add a beefier CPU will help in certain situations too. Depends on what your current storage hardware is like.

    What happened to the Creative soundbar that was supposed to have the Super-XFi stuff in it?

    Are there earbuds that sound as good as my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm ?

    Best set of IEMs I've ever had. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/westone-w30-triple-driver-universal-fit-noise-isolating-earphones-78503.20512/reviews If you can find these or the w40s for a decent price I'd highly recommend them.

    5800x with g.skill 3600 is unstable

    Yeah definitely sounds like bad RAM.

    Receiver used for PC is dieing. Need a replacement solution.

    I hate to pile onto this conversation but HDMI audio out to an AVR is actually the superior way of doing audio on PC. @OP. I get what you're trying to do I had an analog setup like that for years maybe like a decade and a half ago :P. I was even using a sound card maybe 5 years ago now. Then I...

    My 165hz monitor only 100hz after latest windows updates? Anyone else?

    If I remember correctly when someone did this test a while back most people chose the comedy option as sounding best which was a copper coat hanger.

    Aww, but then who's gonna buy all these Monster Cables? /s ;)

    My 165hz monitor only 100hz after latest windows updates? Anyone else?

    Pro Tip: Always check the cables first. Like for everything.

    Is Supreme FX any good onboard?

    Literally the two best options for PC audio are: 1. HDMI out to an AVR 2. A decent DAC/AMP setup for headphones or headphones/speakers.

    Dolby Atmos for Home Theater

    Battlefield 1 had an amazing Atmos soundtrack as well.

    Should the 5700xt be considered one of the greatest of all time?

    Everything/Everyone else in this thread is wrong.

    It seems ASUS have increased their MSRP of their 3000 series

    Some people like to play games. Graphics fidelity et al be dammned.

    Haven't built a rig since the i7-3770k was king, is hardware offloaded audio still a thing? I'm finding very little [H]ard evidence on the subject.

    Legitimately, the best audio you can have on PC is pretty much HDMI out from your video card to an AVR.

    Home storage server OS (Windows)

    So I did some reading about stablebit and DrivePool and it seems ok. If you've been using that it should be fine to continue using it. Get Windows 10 Pro for Workstation (since it can do REFS) and call it a day maybe? I've never been fond of Windows for file server type stuff though.

    Home storage server OS (Windows)

    JBOD with that amount of disks is a bad idea though. Better option would be something like unionfs or mergerfs.

    Home storage server OS (Windows)

    For once I have to agree with the Linux zealots here. Install Linux, use ZFS, never look back. Getting a Windows server license is going to be costly and isn't going to net you much, unless you want Storage Pools + HyperV. I've used FreeNAS, Windows Server and Linux w/ ZFS and there's no way...

    Annoying Dolby Windows 10 issue

    Yeah I have the same problem with Atmos. My solution was to uninstall the Nvidia HD Audio driver and let the HDMI output be detected as the default HD Audio driver. No more timeouts and all that.

    Windows 10 Hard Links

    This is the correct answer. Mount the other drive to the folder you need.

    Arch in the streets, Manjaro in the sheets :D

    Is NVidia NTOSKernel.exe driver DPC latency bug present in Windows 1909?

    I haven't had any DPC latency with the latest builds of Win 10. I had that stupid bug.

    Windows 10: Why can't I disable Windows Defender?

    Anyone arguing against Windows Defender doesn't know wtf they are talking about. Especially in the Enterprise market, but equally so in the Desktop environment. Installing 3rd party AV software these days actually increases your attack vector. Too many CVEs out there with full remote code...

    AMD Threadripper 3970X temps

    Yeah those are great numbers for single fan air cooling.

    A Windows Gamer tries Manjaro

    I'll add to this. If you're installing any kind of graphics drivers, or ZFS or whatever. Use the DKMS package if there's one available. It makes kernel/program upgrades less of a hassle.

    A Windows Gamer tries Manjaro

    KDE Manjaro is what I run on my Desktop. I really like it. I am very tempted to try KDE Neon, because bleeding edge KDE on LTS stability has me kinda intrigued and I haven't started fresh on a Linux in a while.

    A Windows Gamer tries Manjaro

    Gotta say KDE is by FAR my favourite DE. Super customizable and really REALLY good fractional HiDPi support. It's also come a long way in the theming department. It's rare to run an app that doesn't look right these days. GhostCow, don't bother with BSD unless you have a very specific reason to...

    "Cleanest" version of W10?

    Holy fuck the derail in this thread because someone said something bad about their favourite flavour of computing. The LZDF (Linux Zealot Defense Force) is out in full force here. Just as much as I hate people spouting off about religion, I hate people spouting off about what OS I should be...

    A Windows Gamer tries Manjaro

    Manjaro is by far my favourite "flavour" of Arch if you will. I have pure Arch on my server but if I ever get around to re-installing I would probably go Manjaro.
