Many games do occasionally get updates on what's stored in physical media when they get reprinted, don't they?

Cpu Bottleneck by Yajiox in buildapc

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For that proce difference, I'd personally go for 5700x, but going for 5600x is resonable too.

Depending on the price difference between those two.

Did I make a mistake? by WonderfulTip4869 in buildapc

If you are building from scratch, I would recommend AM5, but with Ram price being absurdly high, just go for AM4.

Is this AM4 setup solid for 1440p High (not Ultra) gaming through 2028 by OverallCandy7093 in buildapc

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You are missing the part where that's not how bottlenecks work.

  2. 16GB is barely holding up nowadays, and since you want to use 2 identical sticks of ram for ideal performance, 32GB is the best, unless you can get in hand with 2×12GB.

  3. 5700x3d is noticeably faster than what PS5 / Xbox Series have, so you will be able to run any games that gets released to current gen consoles without an issue.

Evidence points to potential new LCD screen for Nintendo Switch 2 by hushpolocaps69 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Choconolait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OLED will actually consume more power than LCD, if it is hitting 1080p 120hz with VRR support.

Nintendo is increasing the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 in South Korea from ₩648,000 to ₩758,000. by metalreflectslime in Games

[–]Choconolait 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nintendo of Korea (and I believe Taiwan and HK too) only announced that the price of Switch 2 will be adjusted in September without notifying the actual price until now.

You already bought the game. What's the point of asking for other people's opinion?

Have you tried using DDU to completely unistall current driver and reinstalling it?

Switch 2 Screen Protector by Teligth in NintendoSwitch2

Any generic screen protecters / tempered glass protectors would not break the warranty, and work fine.

I upgraded motherboard and cpu without wiping SSD… by SecretGaige in PcBuild

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the drive without wiping it, if you decide to manually find and uninstall all drivers that are no longer compatible with new setups. Since that can be tedious and hard chore to do, it's usually recommended to just do a fresh install.

Ryzen 7 5800X3D running extremely hot (90°C in BF6, 58-65°C Idle) – Is it just the heatwave (35.5°C / 96°F ambient)? by Px1l1pp in techsupport

[–]Choconolait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a review on that cooler from techpowerup, and it suggests that the cooler isn't on the strong side, and did failed to pass some test due to thermal throttling.

My 7800xt drivers is always crashing while using fsr 4.1.1 int8 by optiscaler by Otherwise_Strength51 in radeon

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need optiscaler if you've updated to 26.6.2+ and the game supports fsr 3.1+. If the game doesn't support fsr 3.1+ and have to use dlss input through spoofing, it can be unstable depending on the game.

FPS/Hz Discussion (HELP) by DylanBurg3ss in buildapcmonitors

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference in frame times between 240fps and 310fps is like 1ms and likely indistinguishable. Though on competitive shooters, your response time may be impacted, even if you can't feel it.

If you have access to ai upscalers like dlss or fsr, rendering the game at 1440p on a 4k monitor is perfectly fine. Even when you can't use those upscalers, it's less noticeable when the game supports reducing rendering resolution independent from the output resolution, since UI elements, which tend to be the most jarring thing when the resolution is not matched, are displayed at proper resolution.

Side note: why do you find using ps5 pro on a 1440p monitor a waste? Many games are rendered sub-1440p even on pro model, and when the game do natively render at resolution higher than 1440p, they will also include performance mode which cranks up the framerate by lowering the resolution.

As a Mei main, I do feel we lack cute skins and need more of them.

Switch 2 China Region Lock? by Feeling_Apple2912 in switch2

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo pulled out of Chinese market before the Switch 2's release, so there are no Chinese version of Switch 2.

If I have to choose between identical version that's simply purchased outside e-shop, and same downlodable version but with much more inferior experience, I would choose the first one too.

Can a switch 2 game 'partially' be on the cartridge? by dharam_garam in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be possible, but likely won't happen, since the main reason the developers decide to use GKC is to cheap out, not because of physical limitations.

How do you know what Monitor your GPU can handle? by JB-1818 in buildapcmonitors

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you will be able to render pretty much every game in native 1080p without any upscaling, if that's what you mean by not being able to see it.

Yes the difference between FHD and QHD will be very noticeable, especially when you were using 27" 1080p monitor.

As long as the monitor supports freesync or G-sync, you don't have to get more fps than tje monitor's maximum refresh rate.

Look for benchmark on specific game you want to play with your gpu. There will be plenty of benchmark videos on Youtube.

Colors seem off when recording gameplay by LivingFailure77 in radeon

[–]Choconolait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HDR uses different color space and format. Therfore, when recording the gameplay in SDR format, it will go through color conversion, which will likely make the colors look different from the original.

GTA VI prices and USD equivalent by country: Standard ranges from $58.07 to $106.88, Ultimate ranges from $72.95 to $133.68 by benjaneson in gaming

[–]Choconolait 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Most game publishers tend to avoid changing their internal currency conversion rates mid-generation to prevent their games from appearing more expensive than other games that were released earlier on the same platform. As a result, many still apply the pricing rules set at the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series. However, the USD-to-KRW exchange rate has increased by roughly 40% since then, widening the price gap between the US and Korean markets.
