You can try this. Not sure it's an option in there but it brings back damn near everything else. https://open-shell.github.io/Open-Shell-Menu/

Anyway, you guys are either gonna drop the money or you're not. The people that frequent this site have all kinds of excuses to invest in the latest and greatest stuff. I can't find any fault in any of it anymore. I'm stuck sitting, waiting for some game to make my 7900XTX show it's age...

The problem is that the wheels will last you a couple years, the mountain bike might last a decade or more... People are dropping 1-2K+ annually on graphics cards. Hell, I just picked up a no-name branded set (quad) of tires for my Accord, at Sams Club, that cost 515 Bucks after taxes that...

Honestly, spending more than a Grand on a Video card is kind of pointless for most normal people. I consider myself a gamer and I like playing 4K60 and the 7900XTX has been more than sufficient for that purpose. I just keep thinking I paid like 700 for my 1080Ti and then 900 for my 2080Ti...

Yup - No intention to discuss this any further. Just happy to see a show that's unburdened from "Made for Modern Audiences" nonsense.

Yeah, I was surprised that the show captured the vibe of the games nearly flawlessly. Only saw the first episode, but I was really astonished it wasn't a piece of garbage about "the message" that most shows are nowadays.

Totally agree with this. I have an entire suite of software from these people that is "Supported for Life" that my keys no longer allow me to install. Never gonna buy anything from this dev again.

It's a good card.

The 7900XTX is viable 4K Gaming that isn't over a grand. There have been sales of the card for around 7-800 bucks already. I have one, it's pretty damn good. Everything is fast and fluid and that's without running FSR.

If the onboard GPUs are finally above 8 EUs (I think they go to 12 now), the possibility of ditching the discreet graphics is getting better.

Theoretically, the higher end parts in the notebook space are supposed to have more EUs for nearly low end desktop graphics parity. Maybe not this generation, I think that was strix point... But Yeah, I largely agree. This is a nothing burger that we are all expected to pay for that does next...

Don't have a 4090... have a 7900XTX. So, no issues here.

It will probably be stupid expensive though

A reference 7900XTX should fit in that case and have very little room to spare. Specs say that you have 12.20 Inches Long + 6.5" for Cooler, the 7900XTX Reference models are 11.3 Inches Long and 4.7 Inch Cooler. 1080Ti (reference) is a bit smaller and slimmer AFAIK (Technically the shroud on...

I can't speak to other industries. I do know people that don't run into the petty bullshit I have seen in my life. Corporate America is one thing, that's its own Ethics violation... Though I am working for a fairly conscious global company (as a contractor) that cares more than most. It all...

Been in IT for 25 Years Give or take. been in everything from Break Fix to Project Management. Currently, just working as a jack of all trades Helpdesk / Field Service Engineer for BP. Getting back on my feet after caring for family for a couple years. I'm 50 as of October. Have been...

Is this even worth upgrading to? I'm using a 13900K, looks like marginal frequency improvement, higher power draw, some under the hood tweaks. Intel mentioning in the disclaimers they can't protect against vulnerabilities (thought that was cute, likely means a shitload of microcode patches en...

If this is even remotely still available, I would love to have one.

Yeah, that's a nice and quiet admission that their original power connector actually was the piece of shit that most of us knew it was. They did something like this back in the 2080Ti era where they released a shitload of defective silicon and lied about their failure rates. I think it was...

You will be fine. I was able to run it on an HP with an AMD 5700x and it's 8 Core Integrated Radeon Card at 30+ FPS at 900P, stock settings. It will probably run perfectly on your laptop at medium to high/max settings

I never really got into D3. I think I only played D1&2 for Story and the expansions. Never paid attention to the Paragon stuff and the Seasons. This is my first taste of it.

Pretty sure a line dev stated that everyone has to start over with their characters. Kinda pisses me off seeing as I have been grinding away to level 85 and the thought to starting a new character just to play in Season 1 really chaps my ass.

Yeah Armenius told me about dropping the Ass Cannon stuff a couple weeks ago and taking anything that gives me health and toughness. One of my paragon boards gave be 250 Armor, eventually... I'm still getting smeared at level 84 but in case you guys and gals don't know who the Nightmare Dungeon...

the Sorc is squishy. they can deliver high DPS and that's not the issue, they can't take damage. You get melted by almost everything in the game.

So, the Sorc still sucks. It's been so nerfed that while you can get a 20 Second Lillith Kill you get brutalized by mobs and mobs of Hero Enemies. It has no Armor buffs, just resistances that you can get from paragon that aren't as valuable as Armor. Plus they stripped out the 3rd Enchantment...

You also have to be more mindful of the Rares you get from random loot drops. I started noticing in WT4 that I was often getting better Rares than Legendaries even prior to the last patch. It's just that the frequency that they dropped was stupid low. Now, I get something decent every time I...

I thought the KOTOR remake was in development hell after all the Woke crap they tried to inject into it. But aside from that, you're correct.

I have been pleasantly surprised after the patches. Sorcerer still seems a bit weak but I'm gradually gearing up and starting to chew bubblegum while kicking ass and it's nice.

Yes! I found this out when I had a Legendary and kitted it out and then randomly saw an item in the shop that was Rare that had better base stats than the Legendary item I just fixed up. Bought it and added the aspect I wanted to it and it's changed the game for me!

I'm still playing and I have an Ice Sorcerer at level 78. After the Nightmare Dungeon Buffs I was able to start finding pieces of armor and gear here and there. So, something changed for the better. I can Solo Tier 21-24 Nightmare Dungeons in WT4. However, anything past 21 has an increasing...

It's ok. I did the same but at least we get the season pass with the price level. Wartales... I picked it up early in the development and it was broken and linear, if it's good now I will revisit it.

I'm amazed how many of their dungeons they have reused. The Art style for most of their dungeons is all used over and over again. There were basic games 10-15 years ago that randomized the dungeons. I think it was called Fate... every dungeon was totally random. It was a cheap game too, I...

Totally, I try to kill everything on the screen at all times hoping for an indiscriminate slaughter award or something!

I'm on the edge of 73. Hitting WT4 World bosses and Legion events and the drops are garbage. I managed to get a pair of Rare's that are better than anything Legendary or unique that has dropped and it's underwhelming. Just happy I was able to push em into Legendary territory after imprinting...

OK, that's solid advice. I already have the skulls in all my jewelry. I will drop Glass Cannon as you suggest. I'm a bit underwhelmed with the game after all the hours I have dumped into it. It's not like other games I've dumped hundreds or thousands of hours into and I walked away...

So, I reached WT4 last night at level 71-72. Barely made it through the Capstone but had a level 56 guy to draw aggro a bit and managed to beat the boss even rezing him a few times. When I got to WT4, I was utterly underwhelmed. The volume of drops is not better, it's worse. The legendaries...

Aside from the joke I totally didn't get (TY for pointing that out), I did figure this out and I now know why I shouldn't have been just filling up one board. I'm well into the midpoints of the next one (after I rotated it) and my Ice Mage is disgusting. I soloed all night after work and...

Paragon Levels

That's what I thought, more buy in to see more... that's why I was filling the entire first one out...
