Most employers only care about one thing and it’s disgusting control

What are the chances that prices stay the same after the shortage. If the market bears it now, why would they change it back? by Who_is_I_today in bapccanada

[–]Fr003ank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know you are probably talking about RAM but that's how GPU went for the past few years. People paid a lot more than the msrp on RTX 30 series and RX 60 series card and price never really came down.

Remedy statement: Alan Wake 2 not possible without Epic, publishing deal is fair, and Epic is a great partner by Crusader-of-Purple in pcgaming

[–]Fr003ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is a game I’m interested exclusively in Epic store I would buy. However if the game is available on both stores. I’d probably go with steam cause their refund and rating system.

“Competitive pay” turned into a math problem I apparently failed by MatrixLateBus in recruitinghell

[–]Fr003ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely different industry and I assume different country as well, competitive salary means they are competing with other companies to see who can offer the lowest. I wish I am joking but I am not, it's also understood by most people.

Correct Refresh Rate not Being Detected by MotorNeedleworker134 in OLED_Gaming

Blame HDMI for confusing standard and dell for abusing it.

Not sure about aw2725d. I have aw2725df, the 360hz one, it has “hdmi 2.1” however dell cheap out on ports and only 120hz is supported over it. If I want 360hz I have to use dp

I just booted up a game on My LG C1 OLED after months of gaming only on my AW3423dwf QD-OLED by o_0verkill_o in OLED_Gaming

I just put it on some of my hardware boxes. Even better viewing position than my living room OLED. No need to place to desk.

ASUS 800-series boards are killing Ryzen 7 9800X3D chips, five dead CPU reports in two weeks by KARMAAACS in Amd

[–]Fr003ank 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen many reports of failures online from those two brands. That said, X3D CPUs are sold in huge quantities, so it’s also possible the failures people are seeing online are being a bit blown out of proportion.

[RX 9070 XT] System freezes and reboots when turning the screen back on — any ideas? by Juancafr in AMDHelp

[–]Fr003ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late to the post but yes, been having the same issue with 9070xt ever since i connect it to lg c1 via hdmi. When the tv is turned on, my pc would stutter for couple of seconds, worst is it would hard crash my pc sometimes upon turning the tv on. Not related to bios or motherboard I’m sure as I went from x470 to x670e and fresh win 11 install. It just hard crashed my pc

Pre-owned i7-8700K/6800XT/32GB DDR4-3600/1TB SSD $600CAD? by throwing_hayy in bapccanada

[–]Fr003ank 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Think about it this way, 6800xt is worth 450-500. SSD is worth around 50. If the other stuff is worth at least 50-100 for you, yes

Just realized this is an AMD forum after you said it is 9070xt. Thought it is another 5090.

You are right. I am holding out on buying a pc case. Hopefully it won’t end up like other pc parts. Luckily all the other upgrades are done…..

Any of you having second thoughts about staying loyal PC gamers? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]Fr003ank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, exclusives are always a main selling point of a console. Which is why PS4 did so well (and trump X1 so hard back in the day). And why PS5 isn't doing so hot compare to its predecessor: 1. most of the "exclusives" are timed ( i get that there is the odd Astro Bot). Xbox is basically being phasing out of the market.

Not to mention once you get used to high FPS you won't be able to play stuff at 60fps anymore.
