    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    Raising Cane's had to have been Blizzard's first choice right? Capitalism getting in the way of art I tell you, 22000 KFC locations verus 677 Raising Cane's.

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    Maybe they couldnt think of clever item names like vessel of the 11 (herbs and spices) for the baconator. Looking at the link earlier, how'd they name that one item Foul Reaper Two Handed Scythe and not the obvious, Fowl Reaper? I don't really plan to buy this game, but if I did I think I'd be...

    Forza Horizon 5 (Mexico)

    So I just fired this game up for the first time in a long time, wanted to check out the stuff they added like ray tracing, dlss etc and also check out how the 4090 I got last week does in this game. I'm getting constant 120fps on the benchmark, thinking everything is great, then when I start...

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    Shit, I meant Timespy Extreme, guess I just remember running Firestrike so many times so it rolled off my fingers but I don't bother with that one anymore like most I assume. I haven't forked over the dough for Port Royal so Timespy Extreme seems the way to go. Here's what I eventually managed...

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    Well I think I'm inclined to follow that advice, but my max on memory seems to be 1400mhz too since I did try bumping it up to 1500mhz after posting and that gave me a crash. My core also can't run 3150 with the mem overclocked, so 3135 core and 1400 mem is as high as it goes it seems. This is...

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    I just got an MSI gaming x trio 4090, is it pointless to overclock these things? I see people say either crank up the voltage and power sliders and then overclock, or undervolt it and run slightly lower frequencies for hardly any performance loss. I'm not looking to undervolt, I'd just run...

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (free if you own the Legendary Edition)

    I'm having poor results with the Nvidia SSRTGI and SSAO filters in Skyrim when combined with Win11 Auto HDR. Has anyone else tried that combo? If I just use Auto HDR it looks good, but if I enable those new filters on top of it everything looks washed out, especially in the distance. For an...

    Forza Horizon 5 (Mexico)

    Overall I'm enjoying the map more than FH4. Some bugs to sort out, but playing solo is mostly fine. As everything starts getting fixed I'll jump into the shared open world stuff and co-op. PVP races don't do it for me in Horizon games, too many jerks who want to race like it's GTA. It...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Awesome, I started a new game because I was running into that 8MB save size limit. Looks like I can get back to my original character now. Still can't believe they'd put a crafting skill tree into the game and encourage crafting to make money, but have it bloat the save file to the point it...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    As far as the crafting, I've not had issues with it not letting me craft if I have the materials except for upgrading items when it says "You are not high enough level to upgrade this item". It's like items have a level but you can't see it. I would upgrade items until I couldn't, and then...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I've encountered just about every bug you listed there, plus a few other odd quirks with ultrawide. I've seen cars being launched in the air when they are a good ways away from me. Audio bugs when dealing with characters are probably the most immersion breaking thing for me but none of what I...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I've read people say that Witcher 3 was fairly buggy out of the gates. I couldn't get into that game at first and it was months before I came back around to it, although I did end up enjoying the hell out of the game and beat it multiple times. From my recollection I had very minimal problems...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I used to sell alcohol but now I break it down for scraps, I don't know how it works without investing perk points but the materials can make far more money through crafting (and I don't even have the perks for higher sale prices on crafted goods, just the ones that increase the amount of mats...

    Thank you for this, the key bindings were driving me crazy and seriously impacting my enjoyment. I ended up doing a replace all for 8 keys in that file, so far so good.

    3080Ti speculation

    With pascal they had the Titan X pascal that launched before the 1080ti, and was more or less matched by the 1080ti. What are the chances that a 3080ti can match the 3090? I bought that titan x pascal by the way and was shocked that 8 months later the 1080ti was there for 400 less.

    Ok so what do you guys really think of the 3080 reviews?

    I may have been a bit swept up in the hype to the point where the reviews were a bit underwhelming, but they seem like good cards. My pascal card died after 3.5 years and I went big with the 2080ti where I had really been wanting to hold out for this gen prior to that, so part of me wants to...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    I think it depends on where you are at and what you are doing. With the settings cranked up I seem to be GPU bound often enough when flying around, but nearly always CPU bound when at airports, especially the bigger ones like JFK or SFO. I keep hearing that they will be adding DX12 to the...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    I noticed you can untether the ATC Comms Window and VFR Map Window from the game and have them run on the desktop. This made me want to finally hook up my old second monitor and display them over there to free up screen real estate within the game. However it tanks my performance. Sitting at...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    Really enjoyed the few hours I got to play around with this game. Maybe this is a dumb question (never played flight sims, just space games like Elite), but when I'm grouped with friends can I see them on the map? We're all newbs in flight sims and inevitably we'd become quite separated, if I...

    The city I lived in announced a couple of years ago that they would be running fiber everywhere and act as an ISP, I had been excited but patiently waiting for it to happen. Fast forward to this year and the very month it becomes available I moved about an hour away (closer to work for me and...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Maybe it's because of my huge amount of hours in GTAV but I didn't find the controls all that clunky, it shares so much DNA with all the Rockstar games that I suppose I'm just used to how it handles. Your character has some weight and inertia to their movements, and there are a bunch of...

    Prey 2017 - How did i miss this gem? - System Shock 3 in Spirit

    I love Prey and can't recommend it enough. I've played through the game multiple times but have never used the typhon powers. All skill points go into the human tree. First playthrough was definitely tough but you really can't go wrong just leaning heavy on the shotgun. One playthrough I...

    Buy 2080Ti now, or wait for holidays?

    Same symptoms in two systems, and my older x58 system has a newer corsair ax760 psu that has not seen much use. I was really hoping it was my psu or motherboard causing the problem but I don't think this is the case. Really wish I still had my old gtx980 that I sold off right now, because I...

    Buy 2080Ti now, or wait for holidays?

    So my card is dying, it still sort of works where I can have a long gaming session but eventually I will get white squares all over the screen and the computer will lock most of the time. Sometimes it just gives a driver crash and the OS stays up. I put the card in my old i7 930 system and got...

    What was your least favorite graphics card?

    I ran these in SLI and they eventually caused my 24pin connector and plug on the motherboard to melt. Probably the worst card I ever bought, and then bought again.

    Cyberpunk 2077: Official Thread

    Before this announcement I was considering not buying CP2077 at release as I have plans to build a new system this year. My cpu is almost 6 years old and I'm pretty sure my GPU is starting to die. So I am taking this as good news.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    There are a lot of graphics options, my PC isn't as strong as yours plus my res is 3440x1440 instead of your 2560x1440 and I run pretty much every setting at either high or ultra with the exception of some volumetrics, water quality and reflections. Those 3 settings are the biggest performance...

    The way it was worded in the patch notes made me think that tree tessellation was previously there and controlled by the other tessellation option. Am I wrong in thinking that or is this all new effects on trees?

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    No crashes here, everything has been smooth in that regard. I've been aiming for roughly 60fps average at 3440x1440, Ultra is right out except for textures as others have said. Textures set to Ultra, anisotropic set to 16x, everything else set to high except FXAA, MSAA, Unlocked Volumetric...

    Ultimate will mostly just speed your progression early in the online game. I'd rather just play the game to earn levels and money the old fashioned way so I won't be getting the ultimate edition.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    My biggest hope with this game is that they've improved the online aspects compared to GTAV, from a mostly technical standpoint. For me the two biggest issues with GTAOnline were the networking problems resulting in long load times (stuck in the clouds) and of course the ease with which modders...

    Noctua NH-D15 Mounting Brackets Question

    I'm considering a refresh of my cpu and motherboard, probably sticking with Intel and looking at either a 9700k or 9900k. I figure I can just keep using my Noctua NH-D15 that I've owned several years now. Does anyone know if there will be trouble mounting this on a z390 board using the...

    I only had two problems with Rage 1. The texture loading on the edges of the screen and the abrupt ending. I definitely remember getting to the last area and thinking that the game was just opening up, only to be very surprised that all of a sudden the game ended. I did love the combat...
