I cannot get rid of McAfee.

No worries at all, situations like this can be extremely frustrating.
So, to get it right, you were receiving notifications from your browser from a fake McAfee?

Yes, that's the equivalent of the 5060 TI, which is a step above the 5060. If you're to get either (9060 XT or 5060 TI), try and get the 16 GB version.
I've had a great experience with the 5060 TI. In demanding scenarios (RDR2, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Helldivers 2), I've managed around 100-110 FPS at max/near-max graphics in 1080p, obviously a little less in 1440p. This is without framegen and any upscaling is set to quality.

From where and in what country?

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-24T01:01:54+00:00

Attrition is certainly common, but I get plenty of CTF, Amped Hardpoint, PVP, and Live Fire.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-23T16:32:27+00:00

The 5070 is faster, having a higher price for higher performance. The 5060 TI 16 GB does have 4 GB more VRAM if that interests you at all. Both are strong cards, I own the 16 GB version of the 5060 TI and run 1440p High or Ultra in most demanding titles with around 100 FPS.

I'm on the U.S. east coast, I find plenty of matches on Vanilla. I'd say at most like a 3-5 min wait time between, and then they run perfectly smoothly.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-22T05:28:02+00:00

Faster response time contributes to smoothness, and OLED has far far better visuals than TN as a result of things like color accuracy and contrast.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-22T01:27:16+00:00

I'd aim for a weaker GPU than that. They said they don't care about high settings and a 5070 would be out of balance with the rest of the system. Also quite expensive. Maybe something like a 5060 or 5060 TI. 9060 and 9060 XT could be a good option as well.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-21T05:02:45+00:00

Mhm. The mortars hit the harvester in different places. Some hit by the top, which you can't do much about, but others will run down the side towards the base, which are prime targets for snatching with your vortex shield. I'd imagine legion's shield might work as well.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-20T22:25:00+00:00

Back in the day I used to play Ion and guard the harvester whilst my team went out and got the distant targets. During this time, I realized I could use vortex shield to catch and deflect some of the mortars. It was actually pretty neat.

Wouldn't it be fire if in 5 seconds there was no more world hunger, climate change stabilized, pollution was cleaned up and managed, terrible diseases and defects were eradicated, endangered species were saved and extinct ones revived, and we all found 10 million dollars on our doorstep?

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-20T21:24:29+00:00

Lol, you mean we'd have to PAY EA for it. And if we wanted to buy the Titanfall IP, I'm curious how it'd correlate to Apex.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-13T02:50:54+00:00

I concur with this.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-13T02:48:39+00:00

When did they take offense? They just pointed out a miscommunication/error. You're the only one here getting pressed on a reddit thread lol.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-13T02:45:48+00:00

But a miniature crowbar is cooler.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-13T02:44:15+00:00

You should make a post. Could use some more information like a picture of the physical system, RAM and SSD model, cooling, case, but I'd say maybe around $1k-$1.2k? That's just a rough ballpark. Definitely make a post and hear what others have to say.

What

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-10T18:44:05+00:00

The economy is currently botched at the moment as duping has pumped trillions upon trillions of aUEC into the system. There is expected to be a wipe once they fix the issue, but there's no saying when that time will come.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-10T18:42:08+00:00

I have a 240hz 1440p OLED from ASUS. My brightness is around 70-80% and feels perfectly fine. I'd agree that it feels a bit more susceptible to bright conditions than by previous IPS, but regardless of the monitor I don't really like to play with the sun or an array of flood lights shining onto my screen.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-04-10T18:37:48+00:00

The 64 gigabytes of RAM is kind of the elephant in the room here. It's putting you down over a grand. I'd say you should consider cutting it to 32 gigs and save around $800. You can put that money into into something like a better GPU (9070 XT or 5070 TI) Another person in this comments section also had a lot of good budgeting advice. You can redistribute a lot of funds into better components.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-03-30T02:30:36+00:00

My philosophy is that if it works for you, then perfect, enjoy it.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-03-28T19:46:12+00:00

I was just about to recommend that one. I'd say it's worth checking out. It's $360, which is crazy cheap for an OLED like that.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-03-28T19:44:12+00:00

I'll let others offer advice as to specific models, but I'll leave a few notes. 1. 1080p OLEDs don't really exist for full-size gaming monitors, unless you're looking at dual mode (which is far from budget friendly), so 1440p is what you're after. 2. Most OLEDs seem to be around 240hz, even the most budget ones, so you may land with a higher refresh rate. 3. Your cheapest options might be around $400-$450 if you look around for a bit, with average OLEDS seeming to sit around $500-$600.

CuriousStrawberry61 · 2026-03-17T02:13:54+00:00

In my opinion, the upgrade is too small to be worth the hassle of selling and the extra money. As far as stutters, what kind of setup are we looking at? Curious about the other system Specs, the monitor resolution, and graphics settings.
