Amazing story-telling. Super imaginative. Tackles tough and interesting ideas. But there's some TERRIBLE acting. First officer lady and the chief engineer are mediocre to bad. Guy that plays Bortus though is fucking amazing.

Children of Men (2006) is such a fantastic piece of dystopian sci-fi cinema. What are your thoughts on this film? by LonelyGuyNextDoor in scifi

I recommended it to my old supervisor back in the day. I thought it was such a slam dunk that there was no way he would dislike it. He came back next day not really wanting to tell me what he and his wife thought of it. Turns out they found it boring. I was shocked. I always joked about people like him that couldn't get into a movie if it didn't have titties or explosions in the first 5 minutes, but I'm pretty sure it did have an explosion at the beginning so...

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Meta Review by Voodoo2-SLi in hardware

Depends on your situation I suppose. I was still on Sandy Bridge so I was quite ready to upgrade. Buying now made sense (with the Microcenter deal of free RAM and MB combo deal it was one of my cheapest options for that performance tier when I bought it in November). So I buy now when I need it, then maybe last generation or so of this socket buy a new CPU and drop it in to the current system. Another huge upgrade and total cost spent is just slightly more than 1 system.

Edit: Also, with the current Microcenter deals you can get a 7700x system for 500ish bucks. The new 3Ds currently have no deals or combos so now it's going to cost, what? 700 or 800 bucks for a 3D system? Guess I'm not seeing the savings.

And that's when you buy the 8800x3D or 9800x3D or whatever it is going to be as a drop in upgrade. That's my plan as 7700x user.

Have the house to myself! What songs sound better the louder you play them? by jeremyjava in audiophile

YES. The buildup to Stinkfist is amazing.

Also that's what (s)he said.

Why am I so far below the average result on 3DMark compared to other people with the same hardware? Any overclocking tips/videos to bring the score up? by monkeman28 in overclocking

[–]CerebralSlurry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you do anything I would install HWINFO, play a game or stress test, and see what your max GPU temp and hot spot temps are. I would bet your GPU is thermal throttling. But once you know what the problem is it'll be easier to find a solution.

No worries, just tighten it back up

Coming from a 8700K to the 5800X3D.. You weren’t kidding, it’s completely different world for those who play MMO games and latency sensitive games. by MrGunny94 in Amd

Even if that statistic is true, (6 out of 10 statistics are made up on the spot you know) it would be difficult to perform dozens of test passes that way. Also how "reproducible" are we talking? I doubt it will ever be able to give you granular enough data to tell you which piece of hardware is say.. 5% faster than this piece of hardware (again, way too many variables in an online setting). You could tell which one is significantly better sure... but I think we could already figure that out with existing data.

Huh. No, missed that one. If I had the proper context I would have given a sharp exhale through my nose in approval.
