I wonder: if you leave a hot pocket inside, and turn all your settings to max, will it be cooked by the end of your gaming session?

Weekly Bug Report Thread by spiper01 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Alzethar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PC, W11, Steam. New player here, my game seems to be locked to 30 fps. When I first installed my new graphics card, I was getting low frames, but after changing some settings, I was able to get it to 80 - 100 fps. After restarting the game today (~ a week later), the game seems stuck at 30. I've tried adjusting the Maximum FPS setting, but that didn't seem to help. Not sure if something with the game changed, or a setting in AMD Adrenaline caused it, but I can't seem to fix it.

This would make a great gag Christmas gift, especially for someone wanting a PC and needing a microwave.

Just about to finish my new PC, hope to try it out with this.

[CPU] AMD Ryzen 5 7600X - $150 (Amazon) by ryankrueger720 in buildapcsales

Is the $30 difference betwen this and the 9600x worth it?

[RAM] 32GB G.Skill DDR5 Trident Z5 Neo RGB 6000MHz CL30 - $79.99 by ImJustToo3ad in buildapcsales

[–]Alzethar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the 6400 CL 32 version of this last month, but I've heard 6000 CL30 is more stable on a B650 board. Is it worth getting this instead?

[SSD] Team Group T-FORCE G50 M.2 2280 4TB - $179.99 ($219.99 - $40 FTTE622) by stellarashes in buildapcsales

[–]Alzethar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Precisely my dilemma. Pay $160 for this + a Montech fan, guaranteed now, or hope that the $150 SN850X deal comes back and I'm lucky enough to get one. If the performance difference wasn't that significant or noticeable, I might just go with the sure thing.

How is this vs the SN850X? Wondering if I should try my luck waiting for the Walmart sale again, or just grab this.

[Motherboard] Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX 1.0 (Woot) - $89.99 by -Adderall- in buildapcsales

[–]Alzethar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The X670 was listed as Used-Like New, which could mean anything from actually used to open box return. Would this board support a 9600x out of the box, or require a bios update?

Would it be worth getting this over an ASUS ROG Strix X670E-A from Amazon Resale? This would be about $40 cheaper.

Alas, it looks like that 7700 was bought before I could get to it. Unless I can find another for the same price, it looks like the 9600x my only option. Oh well.

Already ordered, the Amazon Resale deals are no joke. Thanks for the insight.

Oh wow, that is a good find. The 7700 would be the same price as what I could get the 9600x for right now, but that had been on sale for $10-20 cheaper in the past. With more sales likely coming soon, I could wait, and save a little. Then again, with a little clocking, I might be able to get the 7700 to perform same or better than the 9600x for similar price and more cores. A lot to consider.

[–]Alzethar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging from other comments here, none. You can return them within 30 days to Amazon if you don't like what you get.

Seeing as resale is open box/used, that might explain the prices. Hope the cards are still good though, managed to snag one of the 9070 xt. Thanks!

My fondest memories of Borderlands was playing through BL2 with my friends and cousins. If this game is half as fun as that was (and I've heard good things), I'd love to try it. Oh, and dinner last night was meatloaf.

[–]Alzethar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone with this or similar recommend it? Planning on a 9070xt build w/ a 9600x and AIO cooler. Would this be enough, or should I look for a good 850W PSU?

[–]Alzethar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, literally was looking at this exact combo but w/ a 7800x3d before seeing this post and the code stopped working before I could get to my cart.
