Happy Halloween gamers!🎃

Apparently they plan to focus on enterprise and AI products so the top card next gen will be the 6080, at most there would be a 6080ti.

If true, what do you think?

This might genuinely be the most disgustingly priced pc I have seen in a long time. On top of that insane bottleneck too holy moly 😭

On Windows, the ChatMix dial on newer Arctis headsets only works while SteelSeries GG and Sonar are running. On my PC that was around 465 MB of RAM and a set of virtual audio devices, just to balance game and chat.

OpenChatMix is a small tray app that reads the dial straight from the headset over USB and handles the balance itself:

• About 1 MB, a few MB of RAM, 0% CPU when idle. No installer, no drivers.
• By default it changes per-app volume in Windows, so audio goes straight to the headset with no extra latency. Discord and other chat apps go in the Chat group, everything else follows Game.
• Optional Sonar-style mode with two virtual audio cables and a parametric EQ, if you want that.
• Headset settings from GG are in there too: Engine EQ, mic volume, sidetone and so on.
• No ChatMix dial? Hotkeys work with any headset or speakers.

Tested on Arctis Nova Pro Wired and Arctis 7+. Other Nova models should work, reports welcome.

As the title says. How does it compare to buying all the components and assembling yourself?

Was wondering if this is a good price for the pc. I have a $400 discount as well.

The seller recommended me to buy an Nvidia GPU because of Multi Frame Generation and DLSS5. But looking into these technologies, I'm not sure if they are worth it (for me).

I play games such as Horizon Forbidden West, Cyberpunk, RDR2, Tomb Raider, GTA, Elden Ring and so on. You know, mostly cinematic offline games. Never competitive shooters.

For me, 60-80 FPS is enough. I think more than 90FPS is just excessive for me.

I'm more than happy to use Frame Generation. I always do if it doesn't introduce annoying visual artifacts.

I'm very sensitive to shimmering, jagged edges, ghosting, and other aliasing issues. I want my image clean. FSR 4.1.1b is almost always doing an excellent job on my RX 6600, but it's RDNA 2 and limited.

I want to upgrade to RX 90 series or RTX 50 series. The latter is substantially more expensive, but I don't know if it's worth it.

At the moment, I have my eyes on RX 9060xt, but I'm not sure if it's the most suitable purchase for my usage.

** The Clip is not sped up BTW. The Unlocked Framerate speeds the game up. Guess that's something that will be fixed in future updates of the fork of the Emulator**

Also, If you dont get the humor. Thats your problem. Not mine. Its not that serious. 🤣

I have more Demon Souls Test coming later this week. If you want to check them out you can find them HERE Just Like, Comment & Subscribe. More Recomp, Decomp and High End Emulation Testing coming Soon.

I think it's called USB 2 gen 2 header but I can't seem to find where it plugs into? If by chance my mb doesn't have it what should I do? Can I just leave it be as I think it's for the front USB port which I don't really plan to use

Can I leave them empty? Or am I cooked? EDIT: I WAS MISSING 2 STANDOFFS, BUT THEY ONLY GAVE ME 1 STANDOFF? WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THE OTHER ONE?

I joined the pcmr back in 2024 after being on console for 15 years and it was the best decision i ever made, i basically forgot about my console overnight and haven’t looked back since but since day one I’ve had problems with my rig. Random shut downs, blue screens, hardware problems, OS corruptions, driver issues and countless hours of troubleshooting, now most of these issues have been dealt with but recently i had a problem with all my games crashing under load, i traced it to a bad pcie lane and i had to buy a new mobo and now after a windows update my games started crashing again and its all just exhausting. I’ve never really bought too many nice things for myself but when i built my pc and dropped over a grand on components and i booted on the first try i hadn’t felt that proud in a long time, i did so much research and ensured i wasn’t buying junk and for it to just keep failing when i see all my friends have computers that never have issues is just so heartbreaking and makes me wonder if i made a mistake.Is this all par for the course of owning a pc and I’m just winging?

Title basically, i have been tracking second hand market for 2 months now, i just missed a 5070ti deal for $700. I was wondering if its smart to just buy a new one with a massive amount of installments because they give %0 APR?

It’s $1500 btw, a 5070ti

Just got it today from a retailer idk what it is doesn't scrape off a bit concerning

Finally got all the parts and time to make my tank, forgot to include but also using a meshify 3 xl case!
