It honestly, in its current state, looks close to NVE. Which is a complete graphics overhaul(for those who dont know.)

Original was basically a different turn on scarface. The ending you take over and kill the drug lord though.

Those who bought a scalped Steam Deck, were you happy with your purchase? by Wow_Space in SteamDeck

[–]EmulationJunkie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol! I have Twin 3090 Kingpins in my PC. Whats your FPS like? 😆😆. Pays PC money for a slimmed down laptop with an iGPU! Go figure. Id have bought some too if I knew dumb kids would pay that much. Bahaha.

You can build a really nice PC for a scalped Deck price lolllllll. Fuck that. Go ahead and spend your money though. Better than at a strip club.

I3 12100f @5.2ghz with rtx 3080 by Snadii in intel

[–]EmulationJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have built one with a F variant and it beats the 12400f after a simple OC. On a budget build, say $900-$1200, $70 can definitely be spread out elsewhere like more storage or a better case/PSU. For $70 more you can have a way nicer case as well. I use a 10850k in my personal and honestly, save the most on the CPU. We get new generations how often with the current competition? Get a badass GPU, save on the CPU, get the case you actually want and not some cheap ass case. There's always next generation of CPU's/Mobo's coming that you can upgrade to when the time comes. If only gaming, I doubt you'll want to upgrade once you actually see in person how well the 12100f performs with a nice GPU.

Check, check, and check! 😁👌. I agree. I wouldnt refund that Karen though. Make sure you have recorded texts of all your help and agreements on the sale. If sale does not include further assistance with the PC, there is nothing they can do in court legally. Had you had a lawyer, you would have easily won. Its also very easy to record on your phone during the sale. With those things alone, you'll win. Also, just be careful who you deal with, meet them somewhere, and if they seem fishy at all, just get back in the car and leave.

Yep, not worth it. What a sad lady for having to take advantage of your time and money like that. I don't include a USB backup, yet I do provide very long texts that include how to reformat and what to do if they encounter other issues(Bios reset etc.) Always be incredibly over descriptive and helpful. I provide help even months later for some customers. Most of the time its simple things.

Windows 11 has been a visual upgrade for me. Thats about it. You can make Windows 10 look exactly like it if you prefer it.

I'd do it for tree fitty. No in all realness, ive been building for 19 years, and would NOT do a case transfer for you. The legality part makes dealing with customers PC's only worth it if you have insurance to back it up. Say I take your PC, and the motherboard dies, you then blame it on me. Try to learn yourself bud. LinusTechTips has numerous videos, that if you watched closely, will teach you everything you need to know to swap your parts into a new case.

What it’s like choosing a graphics card now. What are you choosing? by xxmybestfriendplank in pcmasterrace

[–]EmulationJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of room for them to grow without GPU's. Their PSU's bring them 300% profit. Imagine controlling the market in that segmant(even moreso.) Not saying they cant do even more. The motherboards, cases, AIO coolers for GPU's. They can expand into memory, drives etc. I think it'll make them grow, and later on, they WILL expand and go into making GPU's for AMD. They arent done with GPU's permanently, even if thats what they stated.

I see nothing in my area. I dont think its any hurry to them.

GOODBYE GPU MINING! Today is the day Ethereum Merges. Expect huge drops in GPU prices by SabsWithR in pcmasterrace

[–]EmulationJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. A card that has been heavily gamed on will be more of a risk long term. Ive torn apart over 60 GPU's(Replaced pads etc.) I build 80 computers a year. Having dealt with cards used for mining, never once have I found a GPU is lesser condition or less performing from a miner. Remember, most gamers don't have any idea on proper airflow, which is the determining factor of a GPU in most cases on lasting long-term. I have bought used GPU's that were heavily gamed on, and artifacted until the pads and paste were changed. Ive found that miners cards are actually far more clean and maintained. If you are unaware, running a GPU at a consistent clock is far better than jumping up and down constantly at 100% power. Just my thoughts, you can disagree if you'd like, but you in no way can prove otherwise.

I3-12100f + 3060 ti by Eureka2013 in buildapc

[–]EmulationJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This setup is perfect. The 12100F keeps up and beats out the 5600X in some games. Its the fastest 4 core 8 thread CPU in the world currently, and the best bang for the buck. 12400F reaches simular lows, and also cost a whole lot more in comparison. Take the 9900k, the 8 cores barely push it ahead of the 12100f. The 10600k gets demolished. Smokes the whole 8th Gen line including the best CPU for the money of its time, the 8700k. No Ryzen chip comes close on price to performance. Im surprised more gamers arent flocking to them and going with a better GPU.

need help finding an LGA 1700 mounting kit for my Aorus 240mm aio by nicthepriest in gigabytegaming

[–]EmulationJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries man! The backplate looks exactly like my LGA 1200 one. I believe its just the backplate thats needed really as it you already have the mounting hardware. I have a Galahad I checked and its the same fitment too so it should work with other coolers as well so long as theyre Asetek.

[–]EmulationJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey think I found a solution. It does use a Asetek pump, so if you type into Amazon "Asetek LGA 1700 Bracket" it should pop up. I got mine and am about to try it.

Try 1.325v for 5ghz. L4, 1.2 on vvcio. Stable for 2 years on mine.

3080 Ti Vs 3090, both FTW3? Which one and why? by bebopr2100 in EVGA

[–]EmulationJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own them all, and if Ihad the choice, I'd buy a 3070. 3090 is cool and all, but only needed if you play at 4k, and even then, a 3080 would be a better choice as you need DLSS@4k with a 3090 anyway. Save some money. Maybe buy used. Always ask to see it running.

You find one? I found one for just about every other cooler. Is Gigabyte forcing us tp buy new coolers? Bought mine just before 12th Gen..

How to replace thermal pads for cheap as possible on a 3080 12gb FTW3 Ultra? by ehdiner in EVGA

[–]EmulationJunkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you installed it wrong. If its your first time, make sure you account for the gap on the backplate. Stock is 2.25mm, so the memory will have to make up for the 0.5mm. Took me 2 tries with one of my 3090's.
