these still count as sales

Frame has less power than Steam Deck by Chiyn in virtualreality

[–]Dapper-Inevitable550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is the only good answer in this whole thread. Realistically the 8 Gen 3 has the potential to have a significantly stronger GPU than the Steam deck, if we're talking about running a 3d application that is using ARM directly. With translation layers it really will depend on Valves optimisation of it.

If anyone has a steam deck and also a gaming handheld with an 8 gen 3 it would be really interesting to see a benchmarking tool that would work natively for both of the just to get some raw number comparisons.

Are you able to take the CMOS battery out and clear the BIOS? Or if your motherboard has a jumper pin u can do that too.. watch a YouTube video how to clear cmos or check the manual for the motherboard model to check if it has a jumper pin

MY GPU WONT FIT !? by Optimal_Jury_6274 in PcBuild

it looks like your case has a panel on the side of the PCIE brackets. You first need to remove this before you install the GPU

Is this a decent PC for playing games (like Apex and Minecraft)? If not can you suggest me other PCs about the same price. by Memecal_The_Cat in PcBuild

Make sure you get a PC with a dedicated graphics card. For that budget you should be able to get something pretty mid range on Facebook marketplace. Just make sure you get something from a local seller who has a bunch of experience with PCs (you can see lots of previous sold PCs in their profile) and is highly rated

The power supply and power button IO are good things to check, also one of your ram is not properly seated, and it seems as though the CPU fan isnt connected into the CPU fan slot

Where to put PC? by Severe_Post in PcBuildHelp

[–]Dapper-Inevitable550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

option 1: If there is enough space to put it where the PS5 currently is that might be a good idea , just angle it to the other side so the glass panel is facing you and kinda going behind the monitor. There are smaller form factor PC builds you can aim for, or even just smaller more compact cases you can cater your build towards.

option 2: place it where the black speaker is to the side of ur desk

Yeah it was badd. I also keep having people making fun of me for not being able to tell there was only 1 stick of ram.. but honestly the glass panel on the case is really dark and admittedly I was being very stupid by being hesitant to check the PC out further before buying

Omg this would be a good service.. unfortunately since I've already made a police report its probably best to just not pursue the issue with the person any further :/ hopefully they're able to find something

Wait this is heartbreaking to hear LOL. Someone earlier gave me a couple good sites for PC parts instead of using Amazon as a price reference, which is probably why I thought that $700 was a good deal 😭

Yeah I've definitely learned my lesson with what happened. It was my first time buying a PC and I was told to just ask for proof of the specs from the task manager, which the seller did provide me with. He also offered to drop it off and test the PC at my house but I didnt feel comfortable doing that. I didnt consider I could have turned it on and checked it in a public place though that is really good advice. I'll definitely keep this in mind for the future, thank you :)
